Description: This is an Original Printing of the following Confederate Imprint:BLUM'S FARMERS' AND PLANTERS' ALMANAC, FOR THE YEAR 1862: Being the Second after Bissextile or Leap Year..., and Published and Sold by L. V. & E. T. Blum in Salem, North Carolina, [1861]. Measuring 6.5" x 8" this copy of the almanac has 17 out of 18 leaves, lacking the rear wrapper. The astronomical calculations were executed by David Richardson of Louisa, Virginia and each of the 12 pp. of the calendar are illustrated with a charming woodcut illustration depicting planters and workers performing daily farming activities. Interestingly, the War had been raging for less than a year when this almanac was presumably published in late 1861, and all the subjects within pertain to agricultural and home life subject matter, with not a single mention of the war!This almanac was first published in 1836 and continued to be published annually in its various forms through most of the 20th century. Ref: Drake 14287; P&W 5186. Drake located 7 copies (1 imperfect) and Worldcat locates 3 other copies.PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY 18TH AND 19TH CENTURY ALMANACS THAT WE WILL BE LISTING ON eBay OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.PLEASE ALSO NOTE: ALL Purchases Include FREE SHIPPING! ******************************************Payment is requested within five days of auction's close.
