Hardcover. 8vo. Original green blind-embossed cloth, gilt. 304pp. Frontispiece, decorative endpapers. Errata slip tipped in. Very good. Mild bit of faint edgewear; single missing leaf (pp. 15-16) provided with expert modern facsimile on period paper. Tight and handsome first edition of this quite scarce memoir by one of Galena, Illinois' famed nine generals (U.S. Grant among them), which William E. Parrish describes: "Although the great bulk of these memoirs recounts Chetlain's experiences as a soldier, the book also contains many insights of wartime Galena, Ill." Chetlain (1824-1914) was supposedly the first Illinoisan to volunteer in the Civil War, and formed a regiment with his friend Grant; he participated in a number of major battles, and rose to the rank of brevet brigadier general; after the war he entered banking in Chicago, serving as director of the Chicago Stock Exchange. Discreet ex-library, the only markings being a small blind-embossing on the title page and, on the front pastedown, the tasteful bookplate of Chetlain's hometown library: Galena, Illinois. Even better, this copy was given the library in 1961 by the Hughlett family. Samuel Hughlett (1808-64) was an early Galena settler who owned smelting furnaces on a branch of the Galena River (now named the Hughlett Branch); he inherited many slaves from his father's Kentucky plantation, but brought them to Galena and manumitted them. Hughlett is mentioned a number of times in this volume. A sharp copy of this scarce title with a choice local connection. FLAKE 1264. NEVINS II, 145.

First edition of Major General Chetlain's Civil War memoir. Octavo, original cloth, patterned endpapers, frontispiece portrait. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Eugene F. Estey Esg. with the best wishes of the author." In near fine condition. Uncommon in this condition and signed. Union Army general Augustus Louis Chetlain was the first man in Illinois to volunteer at the outbreak of the American Civil War. On April 16, he was part of a meeting held in Galena to raise a volunteer company and, with Ulysses S. Grant, was prominent in its creation. When Grant declined the post, he suggested for Chetlain to be elected as the company's captain. In Springfield in late April the 12th Illinois Infantry was organized, and Chetlain's company was added to it. On May 2 he entered the Union Army as captain of the 12th Illinois, and the next day, he was elected the regiment's lieutenant colonel.

Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. Original green blind-embossed cloth with gilt lettering. 304pp. Frontispiece, decorative endpapers. Errata slip tipped in. Very good. Faint binding edgewear only (mainly at spine head/tail), else internally tight and near fine. Tight, attractive first edition of this scarce memoir by one of Galena, Illinois' famed nine generals, U.S. Grant among them. This extraordinary copy is not only inscribed and signed by Chetlain, but tipped to the front pastedown and front flyleaf are two Autograph Letters Signed from him to the same recipient. In Chicago, former Galenian Chetlain befriended noted Chicago accountant Charles Catlin and they served on a variety of civic boards together. Inner flyleaf bears the bold inscription to "Charles Catlin Esq with the / Compliments & best wishes of / the Author / AL Chetlain / Chicago Sept 1904." Tipped to front flyleaf is an ALS, 1p, 6" X 9½", Chicago, IL, 26 August 1904. Addressed to Catlin, "My esteemed Friend & Brother." Very good. Minor wear and folds. From his home in Rogers Park on Chicago's north side, Chetlain chats with his friend, discussing summer travel plans with wife and daughter before bringing up his memoir: "Did you ever become possessed of a copy of my book 'Recollections of Seventy Years' published four years ago & now out of print. Please tell me as I was fortunate enough to find two copies in old Galena last spring while visiting there & desire to place one in your hands, as a Token of my friendship & appropriation of your many acts of kindness to me." Nicely penned in brown ink and signed at the close. Tipped in on the facing front flyleaf is a followup Autograph Letter Signed, 1p, 5¼" X 7 3/4", Chicago, IL, 3 September 1904. Catlin must have told Chetlain he did not own a copy, for he notes: "Herewith I send you a copy of my book of 'Recollections.' Hoping its perusal will help you to pars away an occasional half hour pleasantly." Signed in full. This special copy also has laid in loose a promotional leaflet for the book that we've never encountered: 3¼" X 5½", 4pp, printed in dark green on pale green stock. Very good. Typical of such promo material of that time, the first page consists of excerpts from newspaper reviews praising the book (The Galena Gazette, The Dubuque Daily Herald, The Tribune of Mineral Point) followed by three pages of lavish comments by eighteen notables of the day (including another of Galena's generals, John Corson Smith). On the first page of this unique leaflet, Chetlain pens a note around the edge: "[ ? ] by the Publishers in 1901" and "The 1st Edition was exhausted in 1902." Interesting that despite the first edition selling out in a couple of years the publisher never brought out a second printing. William E. Parrish critiques Chetlain's memoir: "Although the great bulk of these memoirs recounts Chetlain's experiences as a soldier, the book also contains many insights of wartime Galena, Ill." Chetlain (1824-1914) was supposedly the first Illinoisan to volunteer in the Civil War, and formed a regiment with his friend Grant; he participated in a number of major battles and rose to the rank of brevet brigadier general; after the war he served as an Internal Revenue assessor in Utah (1867-69), then as U.S Consul in Brussels (1869-72) before entering banking in Chicago, serving as director of the Chicago Stock Exchange and as an active philanthropist and civic leader.

FIRST EDITION. Frontispiece portrait. Green cloth, patterned end-papers, spine sunned and frayed, light shelf-wear and soiling to boards; gutters torn, a little loose, otherwise good. First edition of General Chetlain's memoirs. Chetlain (1824-1914) was a long-time friend of Ulysses S. Grant, having served under him during the war, where he attained the rank of Major General. Apparently he was a frequent visitor to Grant's White House, where they spent many an evening playing cards. After the war, he lived in Utah and traveled as a diplomat to Belgium before becoming director of the Chicago Stock Exchange.
