    Description

    First edition of Heavy Guns and Light by Hyland C. Kirk. Thick octavo, viii, 9-661, [3pp ads]. Decorative green cloth, title in gilt on spine, decorative illustration in gilt and red on front cover. Light wear at edges, some toning to the spine. Floral end papers, with ownership inscription on front end paper. Ownership inscriptions include “A.G. Brown,” who was a member of the New York Heavy Artillery regiment. An excellent example of this popular Civil War narrative. (Nevins, Volume 1, 118)

    Comments: Per Nevins, this is the work of a popular post war writer, with numerous conversations and anecdotes about the war. Nevins notes that “where fact ends and fiction begins is never quite clear.”
