On Diseases of the Skin by Erasmus Wilson

This is the 6th American edition of a classic Civil War medical text. Though it is the 1865 edition, this book was printed just after the Civil War in 1866 judging by the advertisements in the back of the book. The book has several interesting illustratons and is in great condition with a strong binding. This book was the cutting edge in 1865. BO3- $60.00

My Story of The War by Mary A. Livermore

Here is a very informative book written by the famous Sanitary Commission worker and Civil War nurse Mary A. Livermore. The book's leather binding is very worn and somewhat weak but not entirely separated. The book includes a portrait of Mary Livermore with her signature that is likely a facsimile. The highlight of this book are the 8 brilliant full color chromolithographs of Civil War battle flags, protected by tissue paper and in stunningly mint condition, as well as numerous steel engravings of camp and battle scenes. This is a great historical book, and the quality of the engravings and chromolithographs are worth the cost alone. BO4- $50.00
