Thomas, Ed Bearss, Herman Hattaway, Richard M. McMurry and others writing on various Civil War topics -- plus this unusual copy bears a choice autograph addition: Tipped to the front flyleaf is an Autograph Note Signed from Festschrift honoree T. HARRY WILLIAMS (1909-79), the influential historian and long-time (38 years!) Louisiana State University professor who penned such classics as "Lincoln and His Generals" (1952), "Huey Long" (1969, National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winner), "Lincoln and the Radicals" (1941), "P.G.T. Beauregard: Napoleon in Gray" (1955) and others. 1p, heavy stock 5½" X 4¼" tan correspondence card, Chicago, IL, 1977 June. Near fine. On the blank verso of a Chicago Civil War Round Table reservation card for the Fourth Annual Nevins-Freeman Award Dinner (on which Williams pens "Over"), the historian pens a regret in blue ballpoint: "Sorry I can't be there. Please convey my best wishes and congratulations to my friend and fellow Civil War scholar, Lloyd Miller," signed boldly in full. Autograph material from the famed Lincoln and Civil War scholar is seldom encountered. A special copy. .
