Rare first edition of this classic work on the genesis of The Civil War. Octavo, original publisher's green cloth, patterned endpapers, illustrated with tissue-guarded frontispiece, plans, map. The publishing firm Charles L. Webster & Co. was founded in 1884 by Mark Twain, together with his business partner (and niece's husband) Charles Webster, initially to publish Twain's own works, beginning with Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1885. That same year, Twain secured the contract to publish Ulysses S. Grant's Memoirs - a runaway success that launched the firm into producing the memoirs of other leading Civil War generals. In very good condition, bookplate to the pastedown. The scarcest volume in the 'Shoulder Strap' series.
