General Sherman and his son Philemon Tecumseh Sherman's bookplates to the front pastedown of each volume. In good condition with rubbing to the extremities and closed tears to the exterior hinges, splitting to the interior hinges of Vol. II and III. The second and third volumes are usually bound together and the actual three separate volumes are quite scarce today. General Sherman’s library was inherited by P. T.

Until now, this set was held at the family estate in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
