Description

THE LITTLE CORPORAL (1865-1875) Founded at the end of the Civil War, The Little Corporal featured a military metaphor and a mascot dressed in a Zouave's uniform. It devoted itself to "fighting against wrong, and for the good, the true, and the beautiful." Not especially famous for the quality of its stories or illustrations, the Corporal offered readers pieces emphasizing morality, and a certain coziness. This copy has handwritten inscription on frontspiece: "To Edward Sutliff Brainard, my dear grandson, from grandma P. L. Sutliff." Brown trimmed blackleather bound copy with gold embossed text on spine.
