Title: The Photographic History of the CIVIL War: Volume 4 -- Soldier Life and Secret Service, Prisons and Hospitals
Description: Secaucus, NJ, The Blue & Grey Press, 1987. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blue and grey paper over boards with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 382pp, 352pp. Frontispiece, numerous illustrations, maps. Near fine/near fine. Nonauthorial gift inscription on front flyleaf. "Complete and Unabridged / Two Volumes in One," notes the title page, this tight and handsome thick volume being the fourth volume of this five-volume modern facsimile reprint of the classic 1911 ten-volume set. Got that? Why Miller is dropped from any mention as editor is baffling. Writes Warren W. Hassler Jr. "A mammoth collection of Civil War pictures that has become the standard photographic compendium on most aspects of the conflict," to which E.B. Long adds, "Still remains the major source for photographs; the greatest single collection of Brady illustrations." NEVINS I, 38 and II, 22. .
