Civil War recollections entitled: "Recollections of A Private Soldier of the Army of the Potomac" 246 pages by Frank Wilkeson, published in 1898 by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York & London. Wilkeson best describes his book for us, in part: "…I write of the life of a private soldier. I gloss over nothing. The enlisted men, of whom I was one, composed the army. We won the battles. I tell how we lived, how we fought, what we talked of o' nights, of our aspirations and fears…what I saw I faithfully record…". Ex-Commandery of the State of Illinois Mollus collection with their bookplate affixed to front inside cover. Original blue binding with very slight wear, loose binding, else VG.
