AMERICANS ALL: A ROMANCE OF THE GREAT WAR by John Merritte Driver, hardcover with no dust jacket, 1911. BOOK CONDITION: Good. The text block is in fine condition with no marks, tears, or dog-ears. The pages are age-tanned. There is no bookplate nor signature of the prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. Binding is good. Blue cloth boards are in fairly good condition (bumped corners and spine; shelf wear on top and bottom edges. Dent in fore-edge, smudges, discolored spine). 8 x 5 1/2, 537 pages, 22 ounces. XX “Dedicated to the memory of those who followed the banners of Grant and Lee – Americans all, equally brave, equally patriotic, equally conscientious. [From the foreword] While this book is a novel and not a history, the author has introduced some historical personages and has aimed to portray them faithfully and with impartiality to the conflicting issues they represented. In his pen portraits of Lincoln and analyses of his unique character the author has been aided by the memories of his father, who was a friend of Lincoln.

Lunch had been served on the south veranda overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, and afar the green isles of the Southern Seas. A colored servitor stood behind each chair, as in the 'good old days,' and a large bouquet of sweet Southern roses graced the center of the table. The carriage that was to bear me to the station was waiting at the foot of the veranda-steps. With all the dignity of a Roman senator, Mr Davis arose and took my hand, his other hand resting on my shoulder, and gently said: Goodbye goodbye, my friend . And may the good God ever have you in His keeping, and speed you in your quest! And my best wishes to your people, and to all the people of the North; And to the Great American union: Peace, Prosperity , and Perpetuity.…
