Railroad.

NY: Random House, (1976). First Edition. The uncorrected proof copy of this compendium of pieces on railroads, a number of them written by McPherson, who had originally contracted to write a whole book on the subject, a project which evolved into this one, not altogether to the author's liking, according to his later comments. A small quarto, heavily illustrated, somewhat uncommon now even in the trade edition and scarce in proof form. Fine in wrappers. Published the year before Elbow Room.

Region, Race, and Reconstruction: Essays in Honor of C. Vann Woodward.

New York, Oxford University Press, 1982. Hardcover. Small 4to. Yellow cloth. xxxvii, 463pp. Near fine. First edition, a tight and handsome copy (though lacking dust jacket) of this surprisingly uncommon tribute volume, with contributions from Willie Lee Rose, Charles B. Dew, Louis P. Masur, William S. McFeely and other noted historians. Best of all, this copy bears a choice autograph addition: Tipped to an inner flyleaf is a Typed Note Signed from Woodward (1908-99), 1p, 5½" X 8½", New Haven, CT, 1982 April 22. Addressed to noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar Arnold F. Gates (1914-93). Fine. On Yale University Department of History letterhead, Woodward notes, "It was good of you to write me about the prize" -- referring to the Pulitzer Prize he'd just won for his "Mary Chesnut's Civil War." He then comments, "And it is reassuring to know that you follow through on such charges as were made in the Times." What "charge" Woodward refers to is unclear, but certainly worth further research. Full bold signature in blue ballpoint. Original mailing envelope also present.

LEECH, MARGARET; MCPHERSON, JAMES M. (INTRODUCTION)

Reveille in Washington, 1860-1865

The American Past / Book-of-the-Month Club, Inc. New York, 1989. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Book club edition. Excellent hardcover in like dust jacket, housed inside minimally worn slipcase. Jacket spine slightly toned. Binding tight, pages clean, bright, & unmarked. 1989 Hard Cover. xv, 523 pp. 9 5/8 x 7. Attractive decorative edition of this important work. Black & white photographs throughout, glossy color pictorial endpapers, color picture plate on front slipcase panel. Blue ribbon marker bound in. 1860: The American capital is sprawling, fractured, squalid, colored by patriotism and treason, and deeply divided along the political lines that will soon embroil the nation in bloody conflict. Chaotic and corrupt, the young city is populated by bellicose Congressmen, Confederate conspirators, eager regiments, and enterprising prostitutes. Soldiers of a volunteer army swing from the dome of the Capitol, assassins stalk the avenues, and Abraham Lincoln struggles to justify his presidency as the Union heads to war. Reveille in Washington: 1860-1865 focuses on the everyday politics, gossip, and preoccupations of Washington during the Civil War. Forgoing the battlefields, Leech looks at extravagant dinner parties, saloon backrooms, makeshift barracks, and White House halls to illustrate the social and political undercurrents of these pivotal years. From the stench of corpse-littered streets to the plunging lace on Mary Lincoln's evening gowns, Washington and its familiar figures — among them Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, William Seward, Rose Greenhow and Walt Whitman — are illuminated in intimate and unforgiving detail. Leech's book remains widely recognized as both an impressive feat of scholarship and an uncommonly engrossing work of history.
