Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. [1999] FIRST EDITION Hardcover and Dustjacket, 126 pages including printed maps and vintage photos, and Index. Condition: Fine. Book kept in temperature-controlled room. Free of the smell of cigarette or cigar smoke. In gift-giving condition. In 1863 and '64, a group of rough and fairly tough Florida frontiersmen who had hacked homesteads out of the swamps in such places as Alligator (Lake City) and Jacksonville actively patrolled the Florida coast for the Confederacy. They were especially committed to safeguarding their own homes from intrusions of roving seaborne Yankees and marauding deserters from both sides who lived in the interior of Florida. This is the story of this group of raw Floridians in the trenches, attacks, and battles around Petersburg, fighting disease and the declining morale. They fought well at the Battle of Olustee on February 20, 1864. A well-researched and written book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
