Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:

(No. 7774 )  McClure, A[lexander]. K[elly]. (1828-1909) Introduction by Dr. 
Alfred Cochran Lambdin. ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND MEN OF WAR-TIMES: SOME PERSONAL 
RECOLLECTIONS OF WAR AND POLITICS DURING THE LINCOLN ADMINISTRATION.
Philadelphia: Times Publishing Company, 1892. Fourth Edition, Full cloth, 
Octavo, 496 pages, black and white photographs. Fine.
      McClure was a political advisor to Lincoln, and by restricting himself 
to only what he personally and directly observed within that sphere he 
provides an accurate and unsurpassed portrayal of Lincoln's actions and 
motives in the arena of politics. An essential book for understanding 
Lincoln as the consummate politician. Also provides much on Lincoln's 
relationships with other high-ranking administration officials. Appendix 
reproduces some of McClure's correspondence triggered by this book. Several 
photographic portraits. First 4 editions all appeared in the same year. Ref: 
MONAGHAN #1106; NEVINS, CWB Vol. II, p. 74; ANGLE, SOLB, p. 101; MULLINS, UB

board, gilt darkened on spine, somewhat dulled on upper board. Minor 
extremity rubs to cloth, shallow bump to top fore corner of upper board.
