^Lot 40 Millard Fillmore

Pamphlet entitled “Brief Narrative of Incidents in the War in Missouri and of the Personal Experience of One Who Has Suffered,” 5.75 x 9.25, 28 pages, Boston: Press of the Daily Courier, 1863. This 1863 pamphlet about Missouri in the Civil War, written by a pro-Union pastor who was arrested as a Southern sympathizer and banished to Massachusetts, bears an ownership signature across the top in black ink, “Millard Fillmore, April 3, 1864,” adding the shelf location number “255,” to the top right. Also written in pencil beneath the title, seemingly in Fillmore’s hand, “By a Presbyterian Clergyman.” In very good condition, with bisecting vertical fold, light creasing and soiling to cover, and a “Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society Library” stamp to inside front cover.
