Nice tight dark gray cloth bindings a little worn on the spine ends and corners and browned on the endpapers. Fragile dust jackets on vol. 2 & 3 with wear, tears, and foxing and the back flap for vol. 1. Early reprint of this set still seen as a central reference for reading about the War Between the States. Illustrated by many photos, drawings, and maps. Folding map in the back of vol. 3 is fully intact.
