Description
L. B. Giles. Terry's Texas Rangers. [Austin: Von Boeckmann-Jones Co., 1911].FIRST EDITION. 12mo. 105 pages. Original brown cloth gilt lettered on the upper cover. Binding color has been professionally touched up. Housed in a quarter morocco clamshell case.
Jenkins writes, "One of the best memoirs of the famous 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment... The unit entered the war 1,200 strong, fought and claimed victory in over 200 battles, and wound up with scarcely enough men to form a single company. H. Bailey Carroll called it 'one of the great recollections of that sterling group of Terry's Texans in the Civil War, and...one of the rarest pieces of Texana.'"
Condition: Upper corners slightly bumped. Very slight adhesion abrasion along upper edge of front pastedown (apparently from where material was previously adhered), very slight toning to front endpaper, but overall fine.
References: Howes G-168; Jenkins, Basic Texas Books 75.
