1864 Senate Civil War Reports On The Fort Pillow Massacre & Returned Prisoners

  

Reports of the Committee on the Conduct of the War. 63 (Fort Pillow Massacre) and No. Overall good, with some fading and discoloration to boards and spine.

Hinges remain in good condition and text block remains bound well. Tear and small loss to front end page. Assorted markings and inscriptions at front and rear. Includes eight black-and-white sketches of starved Union prisoners following their release by Confederate forces. General age-related toning to pages, along with periodic foxing and wear.

Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing. A scarce pair of Senate documents, including firsthand testimonies of the Fort Pillow Massacre, in which Confederate troops under Nathan Bedford Forrest massacred dozens of Union soldiers attempting to surrender, including Colored Troops.
