Adams, John Ripley. Memorial and Letters of Rev. John R. Adams, D.D., Chaplain of the Fifth Maine and the One Hundred and Twenty-First New York Regiments During the War of the Rebellion, Serving From The Beginning to Its Close.

[Cambridge University Press], 1890. viii, 242pp,. frontis. First Edition. Original One (1)-half leather with marbled paper boards, wear to outer joints and extremities, minor edge chipping to the first few leaves, yet a very good copy of this privately printed work with an original mounted albumen photograph of Chaplain Adams serving as the frontispiece. Very scarce; "This volume is printed for private distribution among our father's friends and acquaintances." Secretarial copies of war dated letters have also been laid in at the front of the book. NEVINS I, 49: "Chaplain Adams' many printed letters treat for the most part of military rather than spiritual matters in the Army of the Potomac." A valuable primary source. DORNSBUSCH I, MAINE 53. DORNSBUSCH I, NEW YORK 502. NICHOLSON p. 11.
