Duke Sons & Co. Tobacco. Souvenir Albums of this type were probably intended to replace the individual tobacco cards if the smoker desired. They were purchased with 75 to 100 coupons packed with cigarettes. This album was issued in 1889 with the images and extensive text of card series N78 Histories of Generals (Burdick N78). Gorgeous illustrated pages pair a Union and Confederate (CSA) general. Includes several full page plates not illustrated on cards.. Consisting of well-written biographies of heroic military figures from both sides of the Civil War (composed while some of these men were still alive), the album's content is a thorough, highly visual chronicle of important, then-relatively recent events. Far scarcer than the individual cards. Subjects included are: Grant, Lee. Sherman, Longstreet. Hancock, Johnston. Farragut, Semmes. Merrimack and Monitor Naval Battle. Logan, Forrest. Sheridan, TJ Jackson. Rosecrans, Breckinridge. McClellan, Bragg. The Commanders in Chief - Grant and Lee. Buell, Hardee. McDowell, Johnston. Burnside, Bueregarde.
