Item Details

Description

1887 1st ed Civil War Defense of the Union John Urban Photograph Illustrations

John Urban’s ‘In Defense of the Union’ is a rare, late-19th-century account of the Civil War from a Union perspective. This anecdotal work describes soldier reaction to victory in battle, camp life and prison, and includes photograph illustrations of battles and notable locations.

The title on the front cover states “Battlefield and Prison Pen”; however, this is expected of Urban’s ‘Defense’ published in 1887.
