Centennial 1902 1904 U.S. Military Academy West Point New York 2 Volumes History

Description: I think this is a very special set of books, but the condition on this set maybe as nice as you will find. These books came from the estate of a lifelong military collector and historian. He was a retired U.S. Army Colonel. One of his assignments was as an instructor at West Point, so I imagine he may have obtained these copies while there. Size of these books is 11" x 8". 924 pages in Volume 1. 433 pages in Volume 2. Nicely illustrated with black and white photos. Two super large fold-out panoramic views one smaller fold-out with football views. This listing is for two original, complete hardcover books. Free shipping to any of the 50 U.S. states. THE CENTENNIAL OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT NEW YORK 1802 - 1902 Volume 1: Addresses and Histories. Volume 2: Statistics and Bibliographies. Printed by Government Printing Office Washington 1904. There is tons and tons of West Point history in these 2 volumes - pretty much anything you would want to know 1802 -1902. These books were published in celebration of the West Point Centennial. Includes addresses by Theodore Roosevelt, General Horace Porter and Elihu Root, Secretary of War. More addresses: Schofield, Ruger and more. Looks like Volume 2 lists all grads in these 100 years, and then descriptions of everything these grads ever wrote. Almost too much in these 2 volumes to describe everything. These books are 120 years old! A nice addition to the library of a military historian, maybe a West Point grad, or maybe someone collects West Point materials. Condition defects: Just the slightest of browning on just a few pages in Volume 1. Otherwise very good condition overall. No interior markings or stains. No torn or bent pages. No library markings. Bindings sound. All text and photos clean and clear. Covers and spine very good also. See photos please. Returns accepted with full refund if you are not satisfied. (You would need to pay return shipping.) Sorry, no sales to Canada or anywhere other than 50 U.S. states. Book will be well packaged and shipped at my cost. If you visit someone, and you see no books in their house - Run Away! Run Away! GO ARMY! (I am a former U.S. Army officer - 11 years active duty. Ordnance Corps. Airborne EOD. Supported the first Gulf War shipping ammo out of Germany.) RM-1-FJB
