Lot Description

[CIVIL WAR] The Civil Record of Major General Winfield S. Hancock, during his administration in Louisiana and Texas. N.p: n.p., 1871. 8vo (204 x 134 mm). 32pp. Spine glued (remnants of original wrappers, last leaf disbound). The work "exhibits Hancock's record as the military (and actual civil) governor of Louisiana and Texas during the Reconstruction era. His was a conciliatory attitude and clashed with Grant's carpet-bag diplomacy. Finally, unable to stomach the administration, Hancock was removed at his own request" (Eberstadt 112:385).
