      General Johnston's was one of the earliest memoirs of the war by a 
senior Confederate commander. Strongly partisan and rather defensive in tone 
with a heap of Johnston's anti-Davis sentiment thrown in for good measure.

tissue-guarded engraved plates along with several maps, one of which folds 
out. See DORNBUSCH Vol. III, #1399; EICHER #257; HOWES #J167; NEVINS et al, 
Vol. II, p. 68. Bound in marbled paper over boards with leather spine and 
corners, marbled endpapers and textblock edges. Spine is titled in gilt with 
rules and ornaments stamped in black. Rubs along joints and at extremities, 
paper on boards is also rubbed in spots, prior owner bookplate on front 
pastedown. Front free endpaper and about the first 10 leaves have a short 
tear at fore edge, otherwise binding is sound, hinges not cracked.
