Description
New York: David McKay Company, Inc, 1974. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. Publisher's blue paper boards. Minor toning to endpapers. Dust jacket a bit rubbed. A Fine copy in Near Fine unclipped dust jacket. Michael Shaara's classic Civil War novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1975, is "a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg...but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant" (former American Historical Association president James A. McPherson). Praised for its historical authenticity, The Killer Angels captures the human story behind the three-day battle that turned the tide of the Civil War. The novel was adapted in 1993 into the film Gettysburg, which starred Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen, and partially inspired documentarian Ken Burns to create his landmark series The Civil War (1990). Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

Description
Philadelphia: M Carey, 1791. First Edition. Full contemporary calf.. Fair; endpapers excised; overall browning; abrasions to the spine; joints chafed and strained; rear joint split for about 2 inches from base.. 8vo. vii, [1], 135, [3 - blank page + advertisement leaf for a "parts" issue of the book by Carey - not noted in the AAS copy] pp. An important book by the man who would become Hamilton's assistant at the Treasury and who would be the ghost-author of the latter's famous Report on Manufactures. In the aftermath of the Revolution the American economy was in complete disarray. Coxe was in a unique position to help promote American industry and be one its most effective advocates. The work offered here is a response to Sheffield and the idea that because of the Revolution America would now be cut off from the benefit of British trade, industry, and intellectual stimulus. Coxe's lengthy rebuttal takes up many issues including manufacturing, international trade relations, specific industries, and the advantages accruing to nascent American industry. It is a prescient outline of the American industrial colossus to be. It is also worth noting that M Carey, an economic nationalist, published this work. The two would indirectly provide the impetus for the 'American National School of Political Economy ' so energetically propagated by the son of the latter, H Carey, during the post colonial era. Evans # 23295; Howes C-828; Kress B-2065; DAB IV, 488 - ` 9; see Cooke and Hutcheson for a discussion.
