For many reasons, but especially of its fullness, its frankness and its plain, but eloquent expressiveness. ‘1491 Days’ is an important and enjoyable book.” – Bell Irvin Wiley This wonderful journal kept by W. W. Heartsill, a member of W. P. Lane’s Texas Rangers from April 19th 1861 to May 20th 1865, describes his experiences during the Civil War, including material related to the Texas Secession Convention; generals Braxton Bragg, Stonewall Jackson, Joseph E. Johnston, and John W. Whitfield; Indian and Mexican affairs; his service with Lane’s Rangers, the battles of Chickamauga and Vicksburg; prisoners of war; and the Confederate Army in the Trans-Mississippi Department. “It is an excellent soldier narrative on the early days of the war in Texas, of operations in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, of Heartsill’s capture and imprisonment in the North, and of his travels throughout the north to City Point, Virginia, for exchange. After some time in Richmond he was attached to Bragg’s army in time to participate in the Battle of Chickamauga. Then slowly back to Texas through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. For a while he guarded Federal prisoners in Camp Fort at Tyler, Texas. He and his comrades in the W.P. lane Rangers were finally disbanded near Navasota May 10, 1865.” – Richard Harwell, In Tall Cotton “The rarest and most coveted book on the American Civil War. Only one hundred copies were printed, of which merely a handful have survived… The journal itself is historically important…. This four-year record is one of the most vivid and intimate accounts of the Civil War battle life that has survived.” – Basic Texas Books 89 THIS BOOK IS IN MINT CONDITION This book is brand new, unread and in pristine condition.
