Remarkable oversized autograph book containing over 295 signatures on cards, predominantely comprising generals, admirals, and politicians of the Civil War, including some post-war figures as well. Each card is loosely held in place by slits in the scrapbook's pages, allowing them to be easily removed. The impressive book, half-bound in brown calf with a gilt-stamped nameplate ("E. G. Reid") on the cover, measures 11.5? x 11.5? x 3?. The signatures are in overall fine condition, with the book in very good condition with edgewear, rubbing, and some fraying to boards.
