NF Fortunate Find

[byron ed]

...curbside trash pickers in PA (close to Philly) found and gave me a copy of "McClellan's Own Story," the illustrated edition dated 1886….not sure how much it's worth however.....maybe others would have an idea of the value

Any price for a McClellan bio is overestimated

Great find. Murfin's "The Gleam of Bayonets" has always been one of my favorite Battle of Antietam works.

It may be worthwhile to publish a "Warning" on shopping Goodwill. It is "Highly Addictive".

Been doing it for many years. Hasn't killed me yet!!!!!

A wonderful group of books. Goodwill and St Vincent DE Paul stores are always worth checking out. Also contribute to them if you have things to get rid of.

I've found a good number of history books at goodwill over the years. I also love library book sales. I found The Life of Billy Yank and The Life of Johnny Reb, both first editions, at a book sale for a dollar each. I was also recently presented with a near complete set of The Complete Records of the War of the Rebellion( complete set is around 130 very thick volumes) that the individual no longer had room for. Neither do I, but oh well
