How Private Peck Put Down the
Rebellion was first published by Belford, Clarke and Company in 1887.
It was reprinted by this firm in 1889 and 1890. The first edition was
published in cloth and in wraps. All editions are 316 pages and are
illustrated by True Williams.
The story details Private Peck's misadventures in the Civil War.
Although there is some truth to the episodes chronicled in this book,
the events are infused with humor.
This title was published by a number of companies.

How Private Peck Put Down the rebellion also was published with Peck's
Boss Book as a combination book.
Publishers of the combination book:
W. B. Conkey
Company
Homewood
Publishing Company
Thompson
and Thomas
Charles C.
Thompson Company
Since Homewood reprinted Conkey books, it is presumed that the Homewood
and Conkey formats are the same. These books only have 96 pages of
Peck's
Boss Book.
The combination book from Thompson and Thomas has 172 pages
of Peck's Boss Book. The Charles C. Thompson Company has the first 96
pages of Peck's Boss Book.
