Vintage Civil War Book 1883 Bullet and Shell War as the Soldier Saw It RARE
Up for your consideration is one of the cooler books on my shelf. It might be my favorite spine design. "Bullet and Shell" written by George Williams and illustrated by George Williams. All pages are intact with none loose, but as you can see the binding isn't perfect.

Also inscribed in pencil to the original owners. But it was printed 135 years ago. Considering how good the cover/spine art still is, it's in nice shape.

The book is about the "war" (back then it was known the "war" was the civil war) and the "camp, march, and picket; battlefield and bivouac; prison and hospital" by George F Williams who was in the 5th and 146 regiments of volunteers and a war correspondent with the Army of Potomac. Fraternally dedicated by him to "My old comrades who carried the sword and musket in the Federal Armies during the American Civil War". This was considered to be a fantastically detailed accounting of the war, and after 135 years it's STILL IN PRINT!
