HAMILTON'S MARCH, the second book of Churchill's Boer
war despatches, was first published in 1900. There have
been no modern reprints, other than the recent combined
title The Boer War. The book was bound in red cloth that
is prone to wear and like most red books, is often faded.
The second
edition is identical to the first except for
"second edition" on the title page and some
variations in the catalogue at the back. The first
edition print run was 5,000; only half that
of Ladysmith, so a scarcer title. The was also an American
first edition published in New York, with same
binding style as the American Ladysmith, making a nice
matching pair. The Canadian
1st edition is very scarce. There is now a
new release called "THE BOER WAR" which contains
this text plus Ian Hamilton's March, published by Leo
Cooper in 1989, with a US
version from Norton, now out of print but still
available here |
