Blue cloth with gilt spine lettering. xxii, 467pp. Map. Near fine. Couple of tiny smudges to outer page edges. Superb, tight first edition of this hefty compilation of letters home from this officer with the 129th Regiment Illinois Infantry -- and a choice presentation copy, bearing a full-page inscription and signature in black fineline on half-title page: "For Nancy & Adlai -- / Yet another Illinois / couple who have served / their State and Nation / with distinction. / With warmest personal / regards & respect. / John Culver / USS. Iowa. / May 6, 1979 / Washington D.C." John Culver (1932-2018) was a noted Iowa attorney and politician who served that state as a Democrat both in the U.S. House (1965-75) and the Senate (1975-81) -- and whether related to the Civil War officer remains unclear.
