First Edition of Stark Young's So Red the Rose; From the Library of Philemon Tecumseh Sherman
First edition of this incredible Civil War novel; from the library of Philemon Tecumseh Sherman. Octavo, original red cloth. P. T. Sherman's bookplate to the front free endpaper beneath a gift inscription, "To Cump from George / P. T. Sherman from George S. Eddy. Aug, 1934." In very good condition with some rubbing to the spine, front and rear panels, light toning to the front pastedown and front free endpaper. General William Tecumseh "Cump" Sherman’s son P. T. Sherman was a lawyer in New York, specializing in labor and insurance, and was elected a member of the New York Board of Alderman in the late 1880s. In the early 1900s, he was appointed the New York Commissioner of Labor. He transferred his library to his niece, Eleanor Sherman Fitch, the granddaughter of General Sherman through his eldest daughter, Maria “Minnie” Ewing Sherman Fitch, before he died. Until now, the book was held at the family estate in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
"The novel draws into focus the battle between tradition and anti-tradition that has been waged with increasing vehemence since the Renaissance. . . .There is no other 'Civil War novel' that can compare with it"( Donald Davidson). “If you would understand what was best in the Old South, its attitude toward life, you will find them here, glowing with that same vitality which was theirs in life” (New York Times).
