Printed DS, 4pp (rectos only), 8½" X 14", New York, NY, 1955 November 11. Very good. Bit of edgewear, minor folds and light age toning to top and bottom pages (only); staple holes at upper left. Mimeographed press release captioned "Formation of Civil War Centennial Association Announced Before Meeting of the Southern Historical Association," boldly signed in ink on the verso of the last page by eleven noted Civil War historians, eight of them directors named in the text; after their signatures, each also adds their city and state. In order: Robert S. Henry (1889-1979, popular Civil War writer), Robert L. Kincaid (1893-1960, president of Lincoln Memorial University), Bell I. Wiley (1906-80, prolific Civil War scholar), Bruce Catton (1899-1978, Pulitzer prize-winning Civil War historian), Benjamin P. Thomas (1902-56, Lincoln biographer), Ezra J. Warner (1910-74, Civil War author), Joseph T. Durkin (1903-2003, Civil War historian and author), E.B. Long (1919-81, Civil War historian), Christopher Crittenden (1902-69, North Carolina historian, editor and archivist), Rex B. Magee (1888-1965, noted Civil War scholar and collector) and Paul B. Freeland (1904-76, Presbyterian pastor and historian). These were no doubt gathered by Ralph G. Newman (1911-98), founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, who is mentioned in its text as a member of the association's board of directors; at top of the first page he pencils "Keep" and "autographed on back page." An unusual assemblage, a veritable "Who's Who" of Civil War writers.
