- Lot Description
AUTOGRAPH PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR TO THE "GRAY GHOST" COL. JOHN S. MOSBY, WITH ANNOTATIONS BY MOSBY.
Thomas Nelson Page. Robert E. Lee the Southerner. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1908.
8vo. Frontispiece portrait. Publisher's original green cloth. FIRST EDITION.
INSCRIBED BY THOMAS NELSON PAGE TO JOHN S. MOSBY to dedication page, reading: "Col. John S. Mosby. With the distinguished consideration of one who does not always agree with him, but always honors him. Thos Nelson Page."
An extraordinary presentation copy of the hagiographic biography of Robert E. Lee given by the author, Thomas Nelson Page, to Colonel John S. Mosby, the Confederate Cavalry commander known as the "Gray Ghost".
Mosby evidently read the work closely, annotating it in several places. On p. 24, he writes "+ He was made Colonel 1st U.S. Cavalry by Lincoln in March 1861".
And living up to the contrarian nature alluded to by Page in his presentation inscription, Mosby marked the text "not true" in three places in the "Gettysburg" chapter (pp. 180, 181, and 185). Somewhat more cryptically, on page 190, in a discussion of Longstreet's failure to carry out Lee's orders, Mosby inscribed "+ stuff".
