Measuring about 7¾" x 10¾", and running from page 49 to 96 (including the cover), this is the February, 1900, issue (Volume 8, No. 2) of the "Confederate Veteran" magazine, published in Nashville with the subtitle "Published Monthly in the Interest of Confederate Veterans and Kindred Topics." It contains obituaries, plus news of Civil War Confederate veterans' group activities, and new veterans' memorials and monuments, as well as the usual letters and reminiscences from veterans and other readers. Topics in this issue include the Seige of Spanish Fort, the Battle of Marshall, Missouri; fighting in Kentucky and Missouri; Mosby's men; the Washington Light Infantry of Charleston; prisoners of war; Brig. Gen. James T. Archer; Appomattox; escapes from Camp Morton; and an escape from New Orleans. The front cover pictures are of descendants of Jefferson Davis. It is in generally very good and readable condition, but the cover is totally split at the spine, and it has typical light surface rubbing and edge wear. Also, the binding staples are rusted just enough to have allowed the middle pages (71-74) to have separated. It is also an ex-library copy, with the stamp on the front cover of the University of Corpus Christi, Texas. And there is a subscription label on the back in the name of Jno. W. Green, of 1612 Third Street (city not stated) . One other thing to mention is that eBay in its ultimate wisdom is in the process of discontining the way we have entered pictures into our listings for the last 15 years, leaving us with their "improved" process, which has the helpful feature of randomly changing the order in which our pictures are presented. I have manually moved the most obvious pictures so the front page is first and the back page last, but the others are in the order in which eBay arranged them, so you'll have to rely on the page numbers to untangle them. If any of our pictures fail to show up, first try a right- If that fails, please contact us and we can send pictures to you by e-mail or direct you to their websites. See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us (I'm not allowed to give you an e-mail address here, but our e-mail user name is also Redhouse31), and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. If you are paying for multiple purchases through Paypal, you are responsible for your own re-calculation of any shipping discount we have offered you. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping. EBAY MAIL SYSTEM: If you have any questions, comments or information, please contact us directly (Redhouse31 at aol . com), and not through the eBay e-mail system. We prefer e-mail communications that come directly from your e-mail address to ours, with a simple subject line that states the item number and a brief description. If you don't e-mail us directly, please don't blame us if you don't get a response from us. The clever one- Use of the eBay And, if you need more reasons for not using the eBay buttons, the messages that do reach us lack clear and concise headers indicating who the e-mail is from or what it's about... read more
