HISTORY OF THE GREAT REBELLION, From Its Commencement to Its Close, Giving an Account of Its Origin, The Secession of the Southern States, and the Formation of the Confederate Government, The Concentration of the Military and Financial Resources of the Federal Government, The Development of Its Vast Power, The Raising, Organizing, and Equipping of the Contending Armies and Navies; Lucid, Vivid and Accurate Descriptions of Battles and Bombardments, Sieges and Surrender of Forts, Captured Batteries, Etc Etc; The Immense Financial Resources and Comprehensive Measures of the Government, The Enthusiasm and Patriotic Contributions of the People, Together With Sketches of the Lives of All the Eminent Statesmen and Military and Naval Commanders, with a Full and Complete Index. 9" x 6" full leather binding with gilt title on spine.

Embellished with Numerous and Beautiful Steel Plate Engravings, and Valuable Maps, Showing All the Important Military Points. This rare 1866 volume has been expertly restored by a professional book conservator.

A new morocco leather spine has been added, with the original leather laid on. New inner hinges, binding reinforced. New tissue overleafs added to plates.

Text is clean and complete. General foxing and offset toning in vicinity of engraved plates. No torn, loose or missing pages. This is an antique mega-history of the Civil War, written even as the events of the Great Rebellion were still unfolding. Originally published as a two-volume set, this 1866 edition combines both volumes under a single cover.

It features numerous steel engraving illustrations, along with many full-page maps. The author writes in the Preface. In the following pages it has been attempted to give a succinct and authentic narrative of the war against the American Union. Our materials at present are like the direct evidence educed at a trial - the cross examination has not yet been had, Meanwhile, however, a work which shall refresh and re-enforce the memory, bewildered by the rapid march of events, and give a clear outline of what these wonderful four and a half years have brought forth.

Such the present volume assumes to be. It is confidently believed that no important civil or military event will be found to have been omitted from its pages. The sources of the writer's information have been, wherever obtainable, official documents, and particularly the reports of generals who have conducted active operations in the field, or whose position has enabled them to describe such operations with accuracy.

Where materials of this nature were not to be obtained, free use has been made of the voluminous and often graphic narratives of the army correspondents of the daily press - a branch of literature to which the war has given a surprising development, and which must be largely referred to by future historians.
