A group of five (5) Confederate histories. Works include: 

1. Carlton McCarthy. Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia. Richmond: Carlton McCarthy and Company, 1882. 12mo. Illustrated. Original brown cloth gilt. FIRST EDITION. Eicher 286; Nevins I, p. 123; Nicholson p. 575.

A well-regarded Confederate private's memoirs offering an "authentic look at Confederate soldier life." (Eicher). McCarthy served with the Richmond Howitzers, a militia unit that formed shortly after John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. They joined Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and served in most of their campaigns. Nevins remarks that “this Confederate narrative is deserving of its reputation as ‘the most interesting and the most informative of all memoirs written by privates;’ McCarthy served with the Richmond Howitzers.”
