Henry D. Capers, The Life and Times of C. G. Memminger, 1st ed.

Description

With The Life and Times of C. G. Memminger Henry Capers produced a complete, albeit favorable biography of a prominent South Carolinian and Jefferson Davis’ first Treasury Secretary.

The work includes a large and useful appendix containing Treasury Department reports usually available only as rare Confederate imprints. Allan Nevins calls this the “best account of the Confederacy’s finances; also brings out the growth of secession thought from 1832 to the formation of the Confederacy.”

Ex- library from the Massachusetts Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion; light wear of the extremities; previous owner’s bookplate; else very good.
