Tight, handsome first edition of this hefty history -- and best of all, it bears a nice autograph addition: Tipped opposite the half-title page is the 1989 heavy stock membership card (3½" X 2¼") of a respected Chicago Civil War collector for the Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites, signed boldly in black ballpoint by Pohanka. Pohanka (1955-2005), co-author of this volume, was a noted and prolific Civil War historian and author as well as president of this organization.
