Reminiscences of a Mosby Guerrilla

Click image to enlarge
This first edition book was published in 1906 by Moffat, Yard and Company in New York. John W Munson is the author. See the scans to view the appearance.  There is some shelf wear on the top and bottom of the spine which appears as crumpling. There is some wear also to the corner tips of the boards  The scan shows the appearance of the front blank page, which has some age toning. I believe the toning which is also on the back pages must have been due to a paper dust cover.  There are also several pencil notations of former price ad a ball point pen library number.  There is an oval stamp on the title page which reads M.C.M. Association Library and the same notation in ink of the library numbers.  There are no other library markings.  Binding is tight and the interior pages are clean.

1400 Days in the Confederate Army
Item #: NEW-0013432

Click image to enlarge
The publisher of this Fourteen Hundred  Day in the Confederate Army book was from McCowat-Mercer Press, 1954. Edition Limited to 1000 Copies., This Journal has long been recognized in Confederate history as probably the most unique book in the entire field of soldier narratives. It is a day-by-day record of a Texas private who served both in the Trans-Mississippi Department and the Army of Tennessee.
 
Please view the scans to see this very unusual book which is a copy of the hand printed, written account by W W Heartsill of his experiences day by day from April 19h, 1861 to May 20,1865.  He was with the W P Lane Rangers.  The original printed journal belongs to the Tennessee Historical Society.  This publication was edited by Bell Irvin Wiley.  Only thirteen copies of the original printing are known.
 
There are some condition problems, the most worrisome to me is the stains on the page edges which I am concerned might be  rodent staining.  There is the beginning of some gnawing on the closed pages in the back but must have been rescued before it got more damage.  Ink signature of the previous owner and his ink stamped name and address along with a Confederate Ink Seal.  Inked price as well.  Note the heavy staining or foxing on the edges of the dust cover.
