Description:
Philadelphia | Washington: Lutheran Publication Society | Allied Printing, 1923. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good binding. Signed. An interesting copy of this account of the pre-war militia that was incorporated into the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment. James Robertson, in his section of Nevins' bibliography, expresses admiration for this regimental history: "Contrary to its flamboyant title, this narrative of cavalry operations in the Deep South is a factual, reliable account by an obviously fair-minded soldier" [Nevins I, 82]. This copy not signed by Dornblaser, but was mailed by him "To Comrade E. W. Oyster" in Washington D.C., with a return address from F. F. Dornblaser in "Nowawes, Germany near Potsdam Bucher Str. 11". The address and the return address -- presumably in Dornblaser's hand -- are cut out from the package wrapping, along with several German stamps, and pasted on the first blank leaf, which is clipped. The title leaf is also corner clipped.~~Tipped in to the front pastedown is…

Some of the issues dealt by the Congress include "Investigation of Coal and Gold Resources of Alaska," with a color folding map, 'Annual Reports' from ten railway companies, and a "List of Judgments, Court of Claims."

Lacking House Documents No. 158, 164, 192, 202, 218, 230. With 18 folding maps and surveys, some color, some quite large, with significant loss to the final two maps.…
