Recent eBay listings of rare books, ephemera, and antiques

Here at Southpointbooks we have been busy going through our older inventory and listing some of our rarer items.

Of interest is our recent ebay sale of the rare 1902 book A Soldier's Honor. The book details the life of Confederate Major-General Van Dorn who had several campaigns in Mississippi and surrounding areas during the Civil War, and is written by his sister. Filled with fascinating family details and photos, read more about the interesting life of Emily Van Dorn Miller.
