  A two-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln, and a biography of Stonewall Jackson.  Both from the late 19th century.

  And to that end, today I've won two atlases on EBay...One printed in 1938, and one printed in 1891.  I've got atlases from several other time periods that I'm looking at as well.  If all goes well, by the end of the week I should have atlases from before, during, and after both World War I and World War II.
