Page, Charles A. — Letters of a war correspondent.

Boston: L.C. Page, 1899 (copyright 1898); xiii+397pp., 9 ills of which 6 portraits and 1 folded map, 8vo, top edge gilt, dec. cloth. Spine discol. and slightly soiled, bookplate on f.e.p. removed, first hinge somewhat weak but still a tight and good copy. ¶ l 'The letters of Mr. Page from the Army of the Potomac [during the American Civil War] (....) give no connected account of army operations, but are a series of detached pictures of battles and army scenes, so graphic and lieflike as to rank among the best that were written during that momentous period. They are here reproduced precisely as they appeared at the time in the columns of the New York Tribune; and this remark applies to all of his letters that are inserted ij this volume.'
