[[no place]: [no publisher], 1863. Printed self wrappers. Very Good. Gantt was formerly a member of the rebel Congress, a Brigadier-general in the Confederate Army, and latter a prisoner of war. Gantt elected to stay in Arkansas rather than be sent home and exchanged. This address attacks Jefferson Davis, Thomas C. Hindman, and the Confederacy in general. Dornbusch: vol. II, 2744. Howes; USiana [1994] G56. 29 pages. One inch closed tear at top of front cover. A very good delicate copy.

[Philadelphia?], 1863. Second edition (first published Little Rock in the same year; incorrectly given as 1860 by Howes). 8vo. 29 pp. After a mediocre performance at Island No. 10 in 1862, Gantt failed to receive another command; in 1863 he turned Union loyalist, attacking Albert Pike and others, and "denouncing Jefferson Davis, Negro slavery, secession, and the Confederacy in good round terms." The address became very popular in the north. Heartman 120, 720: "Blaming the misfortunes of Arkansas on Hindman and Johnson ... and viciously attacking Jeff Davis and Judah P. Benjamin, Gantt calls upon his people to admit defeat and resume its position in the Union." Howes G-57. Old library blindstamp, with "duplicate" stamp; a little foxed, but very good. Original printed self-wrappers, stitched. (486).
