Item #46227 A Little Fifer's War Diary. C. W. BARDEEN.

A Little Fifer's War Diary.

Syracuse: C.W. Bardeen, Publisher, n.y. Hardcover. Introduction by Nicholas Murray Butler. Small 4to. Blue cloth with gilt lettering. 329pp. Numerous illustrations, map. Near fine. Item #46227

A tight and handsome if bibliographically cryptic facsimile reprint of this 1910 journal, with no indication who created it and when, though seemingly of 1960s vintage. Critiqued by James I. Robertson Jr. as "Of importance in this crowded category because Bardeen pointed out in detail both the good and the evil of army life." The first edition is scarce and even this reprint uncommon. NEVINS I, 54.

Price: $50.00
