A handsome copy of the first edition of Frank H. Sosey's Robert Devoy: A Tale of the Palmyra Massacre. Fictionalized - with dialogue and some characters - but obviously heartily researched, Robert Devoy is Sosey's account of the incident of October 18, 1862, in Palmyra, Missouri, when ten Confederate prisoners were shot (by Federal prisoners)in retaliation for the presumed murder of a local Union man. For this act, General John McNeil became known as the "Butcher of Palmyra" and was denounced in newspapers both in the Union states and in other countries. Confederate enlistments, and reenlistments, increased after the massacre. More at: civilwarstlouis(dot com). A fascinating account of an intense moment in the Civil War, nicely illustrated by Settles. L87
