Description
SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY — Butler's Book, 1892 First Edition
Autobiography and Personal Reminiscences of Major-General Benj. F. Butler
Published by A.M. Thayer & Co., Boston, 1892

This copy was personally signed and gifted by General Butler himself,
with a handwritten presentation inscription reading "Compliments of
Benj F Butler / Boston, Feb. 10, 1892" — just weeks after publication,
and less than a year before his death on January 11, 1893.

Benjamin Franklin Butler (1818–1893) was one of the most controversial
and colorful figures of the Civil War era — Union Major General,
Military Governor of New Orleans (earning the nickname "The Beast"),
U.S. Congressman, and Governor of Massachusetts. He came within reach
of the Democratic presidential nomination and played a central role
in the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.

PROVENANCE: Bears the bookplate of Charles H. Betts (No. 1353 in his
numbered private library), establishing a clear ownership chain from
Butler himself.

CONDITION: Full leather binding with gilt page edges. Covers show
significant wear appropriate to age — leather rubbing and crumbling
at spine extremities, page block with some fore-edge separation.
Presentation inscription page is clean and legible. Interior pages
and photographs generally intact. Sold as-is, all faults disclosed.

A rare signed presentation copy of one of the great Civil War
memoirs, in the hand of the General himself, dated in the final
year of his life.

Ships fully insured, double-boxed.

Condition: Good

The book is in solid, readable condition with some signs of wear on the cover and pages. There may be light creases or minor markings, but no significant tears or missing pages. The binding is intact, and there may be minimal underlining, highlighting, or margin notes.

Notable: 1st Edition, signed
