This listing has ended. Item:AUTHENTIC CIVIL WAR SCRAPBOOK BOOK

Genuine Civil War Scrapbook kept by what appears to be a Confederate sympathizer. Someone took an old ledger book and used it to paste in newspaper articles of Civil War battles mostly won by the South. There is also poetry, a section about the first settlers, maps, diagrams, woodblock prints from newspapers, postcards, obituaries, an original letter from the cousin of the bookmaker (not glued in), etc. We took random photos of pages. This is a thick book and is full of info, mostly from newspapers of the day. We counted 160 pages, front and back....only the last few pages of the book were left blank.

We obtained it from a descendant of the scrapbook maker. According to her, the descendant lived in South Carolina during the Civil War.

The ledger is in rough shape on the outside but 95% of the articles are intact; they are yellowed but completely readable. The dimensions of the book are: 12-1/2"x8"x1.75".

This contains a wealth of information for Civil War collectors, historians, or reenactors.
