You can own a printed copy of this stirring historical record! If yo're fascinated by the history of our country, if (like many Americans) you are knowledgeable about the War Between the States, if your grandfather's father or grandfather fought in some of those historic battles — and most especially if you have any ancestral roots in Louisiana or Virginia, you'll want to own a copy of this handsome hardcover First Edition!

It also has a handsome wine-colored cloth binding with the title gold-embossed on the spine, and the heavy paper dust jacket shows a photograph of the young soldier-writer.

Gene Howard's Blunt Letters Gene Howard — What was that really like to grow up in a small town, early in the last century? To Gene Howard, who was born in 1917 in the tiny town of Blunt, South Dakota, those were good times, but hard times, too. These fascinating letters describe them all: the stolen hours of fishing and fun, the slow summer days for a small boy who ran his uncle's horse-drawn mowing machine from can-see to can't-see, and the enterprise and initiative that built the real west into this wonderful country of ours. You'll gain insight into the fierce privations of the Great Depression, and, best of all, share the warm sense of belonging in a place where everybody really does know your name! (Illustrated with photographs. $4.95)
