First edition. Octavo. Inscribed by the author, "For Samuel Holton Regards and best wishes Shelby Foote Memphis 1965". Fine in a very good dust jacket. A scarce inscribed copy of this important Civil War novel.
The book owes much to William Faulkner in the slow, elegant cadence of its storytelling. Its narrative also resembles Stephen Crane's "The Red Badge of Courage"; a similarity reinforced by the fact that Foote wrote an introduction to an edition of Crane's work some forty years later.
