Quarto. xvi, 206 pp. First edition, signed by Page on the half title. As issued, backed in cloth with cloth-over-boards; spine sunned and covers a bit soiled; contents clean. This copy is from the library of Eppa Hunton IV, grandson of the Confederate General and United States Senator by the same name. Additionally is a letter from Page to Hunton IV about the book and the several mentions of General Hunton in this epic poem. Page remarks about having read some of these passages from the manuscript to Hunton IV's father; a warm note indeed; laid in typed response (unsigned) to Page. Hunton IV has noted in pencil the pages on which his both of his grandfathers appear, General Eppa Hunton and General Willam Payne. There is pencil underlining and brief marginal notes at those pages. A very nice association copy.
