A remarkable 1863 hardcover register from the prison at Fort Leavenworth, 8.5 x 11, 150 pages, dated between April 1 and August 25, 1863. The ledger is copiously filled out with a day-to-day listings of prisoners and their information, including regiments, crimes, and punishments—a fascinating chronicle of the hangings, kidnappings, jayhawkers, bushwhackers, hostages, and the lockdown of prisoners in their cells while the Union Army chased the legendary William Clarke Quantrill throughout the land. Interior in very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling; exterior in poor condition, with the front cover detached, heavy soiling and ink marks to covers, and spine missing, however the pages inside remain bound with their original stitching.
