Many are beautiful detailed double-page illustrations. This is the most desirable, original leather binding.

All edges cased in gilt. Gilded embossing of a soldier on cover. Red marbled end-papers.
Very Nice condition. Hinges attached and strong. Clean, bold text and illustrations. Overall extremely well preserved, internally VG.

With an introduction by Robert B. Beath. History of the Grand Army of the Republic by Paul Vandervoort.
History of the Sons of Veterans by A.P. Davis.
Includes an engraved frontis of Abraham Lincoln with a fascimile autograph.
Condition. For their age this two volume set is in superior condition. The corners of the bound books show the slightest of wear and rounding.
The gilt inlay title on both books is in impeccable condition. There are no missing or dog eared pages.
All pages are tightly bound and the bindings are in excellent condition.
Of those found and listed for sale, the conditions very widely. Many have missing, torn and/or dog-eared pages, loose pages and bad bindings.
If you can find a book, the bust prints have usually been removed and have been sold separately. The prints alone have tremendous historic value.
I feel it would be a disgrace to even consider removing the prints for individual sale. I play down the condition so as not to mislead any buyers.
Most would agree that the books are in better condition then stated.

The volumes are in spectacular condition. I have individually checked each page one-by-one and they are all numbered and there are NO MISSING PAGES.
The full-page bust prints are immaculate. They all are autographed, detailed, with amazing likeness.
I see no stains, tears or imperfections of any kind on the other prints. The pages are clean, crisp and show no wear even on the edges.
Even the original tissue paper is still in place to preserve the quality. There are just a few books like this in existence.
This is an original set made for congress.
Might be the only complete intact set available anywhere on the web.
They are meant for the true historian or forever preserved at a civil war museum.
A complete intact set is rare and rarely available anywhere.
