1861 Our Dear Eddie - Life and Death of Edward Champion Pease, Scarce 1st Ed

1861 Our Dear Eddie: or, A Brief Narrative of the Life and Death of Edward Champion Pease, Scarce First Edition Antique Book, Henry Hoyt

A touching memorial to a young boy, this 1861 volume recounts the life, faith, and early death of Edward Champion Pease. Compiled by his mother, the book is both a tribute and a moral guide, rich with letters, reflections, and expressions of hope and sorrow from family and friends. A moving example of 19th-century Christian mourning literature, it’s a window into the values, grief, and language of its time.
