TEXAS or HE BROKEN LINK IN THE CHAIN OF FAMILY HONORS A ROMANCE OF THE CIVIL WAR BY FANNIE EOLINE SELPH SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR WITH LETTER SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR FIRST EDITION FINE - CONDITION Protected in a clear, acid-free, Mylar dust jacket. Original, Sharp, Bright, Clean, Solidly Bound, Antique Book Illustrated Throughout PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR, WEST NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, IN 1905 This original, first edition book contains a lengthy presentation written and signed by the author about the Old South and contains a letter written and signed by the author. This book presents a novel with scenes of the Civil War laced throughout. Although the story is largely fictional it contains facts and narrative related to the events of the Civil War. Through this context, the events of the war are able to be seen. There is never a history without its romance. But while history is manipulating the annals of nations, the quiet affairs of the individual are generally overshadowed. It is in the calm of the aftermath that the spirit of romance rises like an echo, and enjoys its season of recognition. The Civil War was a peculiarly unfortunate one in that it dealt with families of the same nation. Often, brother was arrayed against brother; father against son, kinsman against kinsman! There are many cases like that at Galveston, when Major A. M. Lea, under McGruder, went on board the captured Harriet Lane, and found his son, wearing a different uniform, dying. But it also had another phase: it brought together alien families, who were attracted by mutual suffering and interests. In reviewing the individual career at its dose, its successive incidents blend cause and effect, shadow and sunshine, like the links of a chain. That which often seems the darkest shadow afterwards reveals a sunbeam of the purest light. The sorest trial often produces the most lasting benefits. The author selected the siege of Vicksburg because its data is especially suited to her theme. THIS BOOK IS IN FINE - CONDITION This original, first edition, antique book has a lengthy presentation and is signed by the author. It also has a signed letter in it by the author. The book is in excellent overall condition. It comes protected in a clear, acid-free, Mylar dust jacket (see photo #3). The book is bound in red, textured covers with bright, impressed, gold lettering on the cover and spine. The exterior has one bumped corner and some lite rubbing, but no discernible edge wear. The gold lettering is sharp and bright. The interior is clean and the pages are in excellent condition. It has no smudging or foxing. This is not an ex-library book. The binding is solid throughout; it has no looseness or lean and both hinges are fine. The book is illustrated. 245 pages. An excellent condition, author signed, first edition book protected in a clear, Mylar dust jacket.
