As a General Butler collector I was glad to find a nice little hard cover book, Idyls of Battle personally inscribed to Butler while the good General at the Metropolitan Hotel on November 14 1864. I suspect Butler was there to keep the peace during the rancorous election of Lincoln, thus avoiding the riots that had earlier plagued the city. Interesting that she had to publish as a man...
