This pamphlet is a U.S. Sanitary Commission report that includes four pretty dramatic illustrations taken from photographs of Union soldiers in a very emaciated condition. The photographs were taken shortly after the prisoners returned from Belle Isle.

Tight and attractive first edition of this historical fiction -- with lovely autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a Typed Letter Signed from Zara 5½" X 8½" Chicago IL 6 August 1941. Addressed to Lincoln/Civil War scholar Arnold F. Gates 1914-93. Near fine. On imprinted letterhead Zara thanks his admirer for sending copies of two Lincoln-related pamphlets he'd published asking: "I am curious about these booklets. Do you print these yourself and how do you distribute them I hope the contact with Morrow will do you some good. I am always glad to help where I can." Of his next book he notes: "I am working on the revision of my book and alas! no good clinching title has come as yet: usually my wife picks one almost from the first chapter." Presumably he refers to his 1943 release "Against This Rock." He goes on: "I saw in the press that Louis Bromfield had been in and out of the city of Chicago a number of times. Recalling how enthusiastic you were about him I wrote him a note asking him to give me a call when he came through next. He said he would." Boldly signed in black ink at the close. Zara 1910-2001 was a New York book and magazine editor and publisher who authored a handful of novels mainly historical fiction and fictionalized biographies such as this one and others on Philip II of Spain and Herman Melville.
