Sparks From The Campfire or Tales of the Old Veterans. New and revised edition with contributions from one hundred and fifty comrades ? edited by Joseph W. Morton, Jr. Philadelphia: the Keystone Publishing Co. 1890. New Revised, First Printing. Hard Cover. The title page reads ? ?Thrilling Stories of Heroic Deeds, Brave Encounters, Desperate Battles, Bold Achievements, Reckless Daring, Lofty Patriotism, Terrible Suffering, and Wondrous Fortitude," this is a collection of reminiscences about the Civil War, including Union Veterans on specific battles, army life, prisons such as Belle Isle, Libby, Salisbury, and Andersonville, and even poetry. This book has 580 pages with numerous black and white illustrations, coloured plates, and maps, along with a frontispiece and tissue guard. 8vo Octavo (9 5/8? tall). It has a fabulous honey brown cloth over board binding/cover with gilt decorative edges and lettering on the front cover and spine along with brown embossed pictorials on the cover and spine. There is some scuffing and wear to the gilt along with edge wear/shelf wear. The binding is loose yet still attached to the end papers. There is a previous owner's inked inscription (dated 1890) on the flyleaf. This is a fabulous book containing a wealth of information ? I found it very hard to put down.

Striving For Excellence
It isn?t brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
