A Military View of Recent Campaigns in Virginia/Maryland 1863/1865 (2 Volumes)

  

This two-volume set provides a fascinating insight into military campaigns in Virginia and Maryland during the American Civil War. Chesney and published by Smith, Elder & Co.

In 1863 and 1865, the books offer a detailed review of recent battles and strategy. The hardcover books are in English and have a total of 464 pages (230 in volume 1 and 234 in volume 2). The topics covered include military tactics, the political climate of the time, and the experiences of soldiers on the ground. Whether you are a history buff or a student of military strategy, this set is a valuable addition to any collection. "A rather precise early account by a professor at the British Staff College" - CWB I-25.

A unique set of books - usually only seen in the later (1865) edition. Both copies have the same maroon cloth embossed cloth covers. As seen in the photos.

Inked inscription on title page of Vol. With The Author's Regards. 1 - A Military View of Recent Campaigns in Virginia and Maryland by Capt.

London: Simth, Elder and Co. Volume The Second - Campaigns in Virginia, Maryland, Etc. London: Smith, Elder and Co. It is obvious that these are a set of books that were collected separately, and were house at the Commandery as a set.

My research shows that the original volume was printed in 1863, while the 2-colume set was printed in 1864-65. The title page states in smaller font (Continuing The History To The End Of The Third Year Of The War).
