Published in Boston in 1866, this REBELLION RECORD of the TOWN OF QUINCY by E. W. Underwood offers an alphabetically arranged detailed record of each resident of Quincy, Massachusetts who served in the Civil War military. Measuring 5 5/8 X 9 ¼ inches and consisting of 57 pages the volume is complete to include a tipped in addendum. All remaining in pleasing condition with good evidence of age, originality and period use, of note is that this is the personal edition of Bvt. Brig Gen. Charles Francis Adams with identification in his hand on the cover. (An example Adams signature may be found on Fold 3 .com ) Listed on page 54 of the record as a Lt. Colonel (July 1864), C. F.
