Original brown cloth lettered in gold on boards. Ink spots on spine. Previous owner's name. Gives the feeling of an autobiography rather than a report on the war, since more than the latter half is given to activities after returning to Nova Scotia. Nevertheless, both parts of the account have historical merit, and should be of worth to students of the Crimean War as well as to those interested in Nova Scotia's history. Hunters and fishermen should enjoy the last half especially. 309 pp. View More...
Original bright red cloth lettered and bordered in black on boards. This author used several pseudonyms, and was known for fantasy and science fiction works. This book seems to be a straightforward report on the British army in 1914, which was in a state of flux. No evidence was found of the author's military service, and no synopses were located. No writing or damage, although endpapers are tanned. Presumed First Edition, since only one additional publisher was found (in the States) which is outnumbered about 5-1 as to number of copies located. 182 pp. View More...
