The Civil War Collection

of

Major William Harrison Lambert

THE LATE MAJOR WILLIAM H. LAMBERT of Philadelphia served with distinction in the Union army during the Civil War, and while making his great Lincoln and Thackeray Collections accumulated the large amount of valuable war material which is now catalogued and offered for sale.

Many books, pamphlets, and broadsides, published in the North and South, with several rare Confederate imprints, will be found in this Collection; but it is chiefly remarkable for the extent and variety, and the personal and historical importance, of the autograph letters of the civil and military leaders of the great contest of 1861-65.

Nearly all the letters by these Generals are in reference to military events, and as they were written on the field they are interesting and important. Most of the war letters have been inlaid or mounted.
