New York: Knickerbocker Press/G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1889. First Printing, First Edition Thus. . Hardcover. Good Plus to Very Good/Issued Without Jacket. American War Ballads and Lyrics, Vol.2: The Civil War," is the second part of a two-volume set, containing songs and lyrics from the Civil War era. (Vol. 1 features music of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.) Included among the 76 pieces are "John Brown's Body," "Reveille," and "Barbara Frietchie," as well as many about individual soldiers and battles. 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, 278 pages plus 6 pages of ads for other Putnam's books in this "Knickerbocker Nuggets" series of pocket-sized works; 21 illustrations including the frontispiece, which still retains its tissue paper protection. This work was produced in both one and two-volume editions, and, in this book, the last ad -- unnumbered -- is for the work itself, an indication of another edition to come and that this small, 2-vol. set is the first edition. Laid in is a period publisher's ad/bookmark for Putnam's "Literary Gems" series. This book is quarter-bound in navy blue cloth over blue and grey floral cloth boards. Spine is gilded in a floral pattern and the top edge of the text is gilded; the title page is ruled in red with red and black lettering. The boards show considerable wear and fraying along the edges and at the corners, with a 3/8 " tear at the top of the spine and lower end bumped and worn. The binding remains tight and whole with a complete text block that is still square and shows only light soiling at the edges and an occasional small stain. Overall, a very decent copy of a scarce edition of this work. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall Size: 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall
