Deeds of Valor Book on Medal of Honor Winners, c. 1906

This book titled, Deeds of Valor, is in excellent condition. The full title
is, Deeds of Valor From the Records in the Archives of the United States
Government, How American Heroes Won the Medal of Honor, History of Our

U.S.V. This is Only Volume I of a 2-set Volume publication. The book is

The book is 558 pages and is a comprehensive detailed book on United States

century. During this time, about 1,400 of these medals were granted to
include the Civil War, the Indian Wars, and Spanish War (26 medals awarded).
During this time, nearly 2 million men served in these wars.

The book is the official record of these men describing the stories of the
heroic deeds, man of the individual, his company and regiment, and character

bearers, their superior officers, other witnesses, and military records. The

colored drawings of battles and engagements. This is a fantastic rare book.

inches. The book is in very good condition. There are no loose, torn, or
missing pages. There are no stains or water marks. The spine is weak and
slight wear at the edges.
