I just listed this, got it in a big box of books at an auction. Interesting read about the start of the civil war (from the North's perspective
) and the politics involved.

sounds like a interesting book
but do not give away the ending of who won :shock: :shock:0 -
How could a book be copyrighted in 1862 about the Civil War? The Civil War didn't end until 1865. 0 -
Sadly for me I do not appear to have these amongst my library and collected works...
And was until now uninformed and unaware of the existence of the book in the link - by reputation or sight...

I'd like to read it backwards so it has a happy ending. 0 -
Its Title includes ?A Preliminary Review of Its Causes? DPHMIN wrote:How could a book be copyrighted in 1862 about the Civil War? The Civil War didn't end until 1865.0 -
Okay, someone really wants that book. I bid and was not high bidder. I would like to have it but it seems someone seriously wants to have it. 0 -
" I would like to have it but it seems someone seriously wants to have it.".............. ..............the actual 'politics' of the start of the civil war started in the 1820's. the one thing I got out of the north's side was that the 'Union' of states was voted on by ALL THE STATES, there for the 'dis-union' should also have to be voted on by all the states.0 -
Fake news LOL South won 0 -
That's a nice looking book. I'd love to have it in my collection/Library.
I'll be watching for sure! I'll also bet, bidding might get pretty interesting on it!
Thanks for the link,

Samuel Mosheim Schmucker
Samuel Mosheim Schmucker or Smucker (January 12, 1823 ? May 12, 1863) was an American historical writer and popular biographer.
Biography
Born at New Market, Virginia, the son of respected Lutheran pastor Samuel Simon Schmucker, Samuel Schmucker graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, in 1839 and Washington College in Pennsylvania in 1840 and became a Lutheran pastor in the Pennsylvania Ministerium. Schmucker held pastorates at Lewistown (1842?45) and Germantown, Pennsylvania (1845?48).
Schmucker left the ministry in 1848, studied law, and practiced in Philadelphia (1850?53). After two years in New York, he returned to Philadelphia and devoted his remaining years to writing, mostly popular biographies. According to the National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, Schmucker's works "exhibit diligence in compiling rather than deep research."
A fierce critic of the Higher Critic David Friedrich Strauss and his fellow "Modern Infidels," Schmucker unwittingly anticipated the Shakespearean authorship question with a mocking demonstration that "historic doubts regarding Christ" were "equally applicable to Shakespeare." Although he never doubted that Shakespeare had written Shakespeare, the 25-year-old Schmucker "carefully mapped out almost all the arguments subsequently used to question Shakespeare's authorship."
Schmucker died in Philadelphia on May 12, 1863.

Jumped in on it.
The wife unit is a social studies/ history teacher. I think she?ll love it.
Christmas present, deluxe.
Cleaning out my grandfather?s house, 15 years ago, I found a world atlas from around 1943 or 44.
Most of Europe was Germany, and a lot of the pacific and Eastern Asia was Japan.
There was a coupon in the book, that said the world was at war. When the dust settles, (paraphrasing), send in this coupon and we?ll send you a new atlas.
Gave it to my wife, who loves it.0 -
I'm looking at my copy of Collier's World Atlas and Gazetteer with the last copyright date of 1944. The first map page labeled Europe & the Mediterranean shows a map of Egypt, Palestine, Trans Jordan & Syria. Strangely nothing called Lebanon or Israel. 0 -
