* George Armstrong Custer makes the cover
The front page contains a nice print captioned: "General Custer Presenting Captured Battle Flags at the War Department, Washington" showing him and many others holding flags.
Many other Civil War prints within, including a half page: "Valley of the Shenandoah--Gen. Sheridan's Wagon Trains..." & a fullpg. Thomas Nast cartoon: "How the Copperheads Obtain Their Votes" showing names being copied from tombstones.
Another full page has 2 scenes: "Army of the James--General Butler's Headquarters" and "Signaling by Torches Across James River from General Butler's Headquarters".
Yet another page has prints of: "General James Ricketts" "The Late Brig. General Sidwell" "General Cuyier Grover" and "The Late Col. Charles Lowell".
The double page centerfold is a great political piece by noted artist Thomas Nast titled: "Election-Day" showing 4 vignettes (see) including "Soldiers Mailing Their Votes".
Complete in 16 pages, nice condition.
