This first edition book was written by John Watson Morton, "The Artillery of Nathan Bedford Forrest's Cavalry", "The Wizard of the Saddle".  Published in Nashville Tenn, Dallas Tex. M E Church, South-1909.  The scans tell the story of the condition of the boards.  You will note the fading of the gold gilt on the author's name on the front cover. The lettering is completely faded on the spine, dark at the bottom and split at the top.  There is a great deal of writing on the front as can be seen in the last scan.  The author's grandson has inscribed the book to a previous owner and more writing by other owners. There is a split down the title page where the portrait of Morton is and some scattered spotting.The rest of the book is completely bound and the interior pages are much better than might be expected in a book that has traveled through so many owners.

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.
