Description
[CIVIL WAR]. LONG, Armistead Lindsay (1825-1891). An autograph manuscript for “First Century of American History”. Circa 1860s. 8vo. Original handwritten manuscript numbering approximately 400 pages detailing the first century of European occupation of the North American continent. Brigadier General Armistead Lindsay Long enjoyed a long association with Confederate General Robert E. Lee; throughout the Civil War he served as Lee’s secretary and would later see action at the Bristoe, Mine Run, and Overland Campaigns. His military service would later be cited as the cause of his blindness, occurring in 1869, however despite this he penned his memoirs of Robert E. Lee, which was later published and became a nationwide bestseller. This lot includes a typewritten transcript of the manuscript. Overall condition fair to good.
