AYERS, James T. - The Diary of James T. Ayers: CIVIL War Recruiter
Springfield, Illinois State Historical Society, 1947. Hardcover. Edited by John Hope Franklin. Small 4to. Grey pictorial cloth. xxv, 138pp. Frontispiece. Near fine. First edition, tight and handsome, of this "Occasional Publication" of the ISHL -- issued without dust jacket. Rather uncommon -- the second publication by the late great scholar Franklin (1915-2009). James I. Robertson Jr. reviewed it harshly: "A rambling, disjointed diary by an elderly anti-slaveryite who served in the 129th Illinois and as a recruiter for Negro units; the narrative spans only the last eighteen months of the war in the West." NEVINS I, 53. .
