Title: The Life of Gen. Francis Marion: A Celebrated Partisan Officer in the Revolutionary War, Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia
Author: Brig. Gen. P. Horry and M. L. Weems
Publisher: Joseph Allen, Philadelphia (1839)
A Gripping 19th-Century Account of the "Swamp Fox"
Own a piece of American biographical legend with this 1839 edition of the life of General Francis Marion. This work is one of the most famous examples of early American storytelling, combining the firsthand historical facts of Marion?s contemporary, General Peter Horry, with the vivid, heroic prose of the celebrated "Parson" Weems (famed biographer of George Washington).
Historical Significance & Condition:
The Horry-Weems Controversy: This volume carries the fascinating legacy of the "clash of authors." While General Horry provided the authentic military facts of the Southern campaign, he famously disclaimed connection to the final product due to Weems' hyperbolic and rhetorical flourishes. This tension makes the book a primary study in the myth-making of American heroes.
Binding & Internal State: Professionally presented in contemporary leather with a tight, secure binding. The interior remains remarkably clean for its age, featuring the classic woodcut illustrations that brought Marion?s guerrilla exploits in South Carolina and Georgia to life for 19th-century readers.
Bibliographic Pedigree: Noted in the definitive Howes, H650 and American Imprints, 59155.
Features: * 252 pages, including illustrations.
Stereotyped by L. Johnson.
Original 1809 text in an early Victorian-era printing.
A foundational addition for collectors of Revolutionary War history, Southern Americana, or the works of Parson Weems. N° de réf. du vendeur 002555
