Hardcover. First edition. Foxing to the foredge, and which extends a little into the pages, thus very good in a price-clipped, near fine dustwrapper with modest wear on the spine. Civil War memoir by a Virginia resident, and relative of Peter Matthiessen, who contributes an essay. Inscribed by both Peter and Maria Matthiessen to their neighbor Gloria Jones, widow of James Jones, who had died the year before.
