Description: You are considering an oversized or trade paperback book, BLUE-EYED CHILD OF FORTUNE: THE CIVIL WAR LETTERS OF COLONEL ROBERT GOULD SHAW edited by Russel Duncan; PUBLISHER: Avon Books, NYC, NY; 1994 printing; 429 pages. On the Boston Common stands one of the great Civil War memorials, a magnificent bronze sculpture by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It depicts the black soldiers of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry marching alongside their young white commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. When the philosopher William James dedicated the memorial in May 1897, he stirred the assembled crowd with these words: "There they march, warm-blooded champions of a better day for man. There on horseback among them, in the very habit as he lived, sits the blue-eyed child of fortune." Condition: No known damage. Packages mailed to Illinois addresses will be charged Illinois sales tax. Items paid by Paypal can only be mailed to the address shown on the Paypal payment. SHIPPING TIME I try to ship no later than the next business day after payment. Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations. S/H For MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will combine multiple items whenever possible and normally reduce total shipping costs. IMPORTANT!!!!!! International Shipping: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
