Although not wanting to I am getting rid of my copy of:

Revised Report of the Select Committee Relative to the Soldiers' National Cemetery Together with the Accompanying Documents, As Reported to the House of Representatives of the Commonwelath of Pennsylvania.

This book is rare. It was printed in 1865. Within the book you will find all the orators speeches at the dedication at gettysburg including The Gettysburg Address, It also has the layout of the graves. The neatest thing about it that I have found is that it has a list of what the soldiers were carrying in their pockets at the time of their burial. Excellent wealth of information.

The book is in descent condition. Has stains, a few pages are torn. All the pages are there. The binding still holds the pages together, although delicately. Asking $130.00 Shipped with insurance.

After thoroughly examining this book, I have lowered the price to $100. The binding on this book is together in the middle, but at the ends the binding is not all there. All pages are in the book. A few are ripped. This book is still an awesome find, with lots of excellent information in it.
