New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1929. Signed Limited Edition. Hardcover. Signed limited edition, one of 225 numbered copies; Octavo, pp. (vi), (2 )3-327; original tan buckram lettered and decorated in silver. A very good copy in acetate. Southern Americana; Civil War. Hergesheimer offers us this; "here is a book of swords, now wholly discarded, and of old-fashioned dark roses----vanished objects and flowers we both regard with an especial deeply personal regret. Well, they have existed for us only in imagination;...and so we must write books, we must publish books and read them, in order to return, and only for a little while, to the simpler loveliness of the past. Very Good. Item #12410
