I assume the reference is to taking a close-up picture. Casey's Tactics Identified To Two Soldiers. Dated 1862, this is Volume II of Casey's Infantry Tactics. We will never know the details, only that Dorvil would survive the war and go on to become a doctor. Included is a snapshot of D.M. Wilcox apparently taken from a regimental history.
Book is in very sound condition with tight binding and no missing pages.
As you would expect, at the center is Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens. The only bill to bear the likeness of a Confederate General. In fine condition and very sought after. It has a push in the front but retains much of its gold wash. This is nicer than most that you see and was privately purchased by officers or their family members as a gift.
