Handsome first edition of this study of (to quote jacket front panel) "The Battle That Changed the Course of the Civil War," a volume in the "Pivotal Moments in American History" series -- best of all, front flyleaf bears a fine, archival, decorative-edged bookplate signed boldly by McPherson in black ballpoint. Dated "Received" inkstamp from unknown journal on half-title page and unknown reviewer's small and discreet underlinings and a few margin notes inked on ten pages.
