The Civil War Sesquicentennial Sale

Terms and Conditions of Sale This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by Spink Smythe, whose officers are licensed and bonded auctioneers. Spink Smythe may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium. Spink Smythe may have made advances and loans available to certain consignors and bidders in the sale.

1. The placing of a bid constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale by the bidder.

2. The highest bidder acknowledged by Spink Smythe shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, Spink Smythe may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the lot up for sale again. Spink Smythe’ decision shall be final and binding upon all bidders. A buyer’s premium equal to 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15% of the excess bid price will be added to each invoice and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price.

3. All bids are to be per lot as numbered in this catalog.

Spink Smythe reserves the right to group two or more lots together and to withdraw, prior to call for bids, any lot or lots from the sale. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only, and Spink Smythe reserves the right to reject any bid or advance the bidding at its discretion.

4. Spink Smythe may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium.

5. Spink Smythe may have made advances and loans available to certain consignors and bidders in the sale.

6. All sales are strictly for cash, check and/or credit cards in United States dollars; provided, however, Spink Smythe may not accept any cash payment in excess of $10,000.00.

Payment is due and payable immediately upon receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased items. Spink Smythe reserves the right to void a sale if payment in full of the invoice is not received by Spink Smythe within fifteen (15) days after the date of the invoice. A late charge in the amount of the lesser of 11/2% per month and the maximum lawful rate will be charged on the invoice total if payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All lots are subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate resale certificates are on file with Spink Smythe.

7. Shipping, handling, and administration charges will be added to invoices for lots delivered by mail. All lots will be shipped via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office

www.SpinkSmythe.com

boxes, via Federal Express to street addresses, and FedEx ground for bulky large lots (in the U.S. only).

Purchases shipped via FedEx will not be covered by Spink Smythe’ insurance in the event that the buyer has placed a “signature release” on file with FedEx. Buyer will be responsible for total purchase price in the event of loss. Spink Smythe cannot be and is not responsible for the loss of any merchandise shipped outside the United States and therefore insurance on any items to be shipped outside the United States is solely the responsibility of the buyer. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession. Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following shipment of the items and Spink Smythe assumes no liability for merchandise lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of a party to whom merchandise has been shipped.

8. In the event a successful bidder fails to pay the charges due, Spink Smythe reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale including a 10% seller’s commission, and also to pay any difference between the resale price and the winning price of his/her previously successful bid. Spink Smythe reserves the right to bid on any lot in the sale. Additionally, Spink Smythe may or may not have financial interest in any of the lot(s) in the sale.

9. Spink Smythe reserves the right to require payment in full before delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Bidder personally guarantees payment, and if a corporation, an officer or principal in the corporation agrees to personally guarantee payment. Title to any purchased items remains with Spink Smythe until all invoices are paid in full. Spink Smythe reserves the right to await clearance of any check used for payment before delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for any check that fails to clear.

10. Spink Smythe reserves the right to refuse to honor or reject any bid which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or, as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory references, as Spink Smythe in its sole discretion shall determine. Spink Smythe further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its sole discretion.

11. No minors may participate in any Spink Smythe sales.

12. Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance

April 12, 2011 - Dallas

over the next highest bid in competition with floor bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. No additional commission (except for the buyer’s premium) is charged for executing mail bids.

Spink Smythe cannot and does not assume any responsibility for errors made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed, so check your bid sheet and online submission carefully. When identical mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received.

13. Spink Smythe may reopen the bidding on a lot under the following circumstances: (a) Spink Smythe has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) A party purchasing the lot on the floor has done so in error; (c) Where a protest is made after the hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced on the next lot; (d) Where the auctioneer has determined that he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the lot but before the calling of the next lot; and (e) At the discretion of the auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, the auctioneer’s decision shall be final.

14. Agents executing bids on behalf of clients will be held responsible for all purchases made on behalf of clients unless otherwise arranged prior to the sale.

15. The same protections applicable to Spink Smythe shall apply to each officer, director and employee of Spink Smythe unless such individual shall be convicted of knowingly and intentionally selling false or stolen goods.

16. The descriptions provided in the catalog are intended solely for the use of those bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding. All photographs in the catalog are as accurate as can be reproduced with today’s technology; however, they can not be relied upon for exact reproduction of color. All bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of genuineness. It is presumed that all floor bidders have inspected the lots prior to bidding.

Therefore, lots purchased by floor bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned. Floor bidders include those bidders acting as agents for others. Additionally, Spink Smythe reserves the right to describe items differently than the descriptions shown in the catalog should such items be consigned to any future auction.

17. All the lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale, “genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and Spink Smythe will not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’, “restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved” in any way without disclosure of such facts to the potential buyer.

18. No lots may be returned without a written request by the successful bidder and the written approval of Spink Smythe. In the unlikely event of returning a lot, Spink Smythe must receive notification of the buyer’s intent

within three (3) days of the buyer’s receipt of the lot. The following lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever; (a) lots described as having faults or defects because of the faults described or any others, including lots described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (b) lots described “AS IS”, including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG); (c) lots valued primarily for their bullion content; and (d) No lots maybe returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty (30) days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may, at Spink Smythe’s option, be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment, authenticity, or description between the bidder and Spink Smythe, Spink Smythe at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter to binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, to which the bidder, by placing a bid and hereby accepting these Terms and Conditions of Sale, agrees to be bound.

19. United States coins and currency will not, in conformity with the law, be opened at less than face value.

20. The auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by auction for a reasonable period of time as a result of any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the auctioneer, makes it advisable to postpone the event. No prospective bidder or prospective buyer shall have recourse as a result of any postponement 21. In the event Spink Smythe refers an invoice(s) to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay Spink Smythe attorney’s fees, court costs, witness fees and other costs incurred by Spink Smythe.

22. THESE TERMS OF SALE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. THE SIGN ER OF A SPINK SMYTHE BID SHEET OR PARTICIPANT IN THE AUCTION AGREES THAT EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH RESPECT TO THESE TERMS OR IN CONNECTION WITH SPINK SMYTHE SHALL RESIDE IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

Dear Collectors, Spink welcomes you to our special auction commemorating the sesquicentennial of the attack on Fort Sumter that began the United States Civil War, plunging the nation into a murderous conflict that would last four years and claim over 600,000 American lives. Collectors of stocks and bonds, obsolete banknotes, autographs, coins, and stamps will each find items in this sale that are rarely available. We are proud that we have been able to offer as nearly complete a set of Confederate war bonds as has been in a single auction in recent memory. A full 207 of a possible 227 Criswell varieties are represented, and 265 of 336 Ball varieties.

The sale also boasts the largest collection of Interim Depository Receipts for Confederate bonds in a single auction since Dr. Ball’s collection was sold at the 1987 NASCA sale in Richmond. Our autographs and Americana section is especially strong in letters and documents concerning the attack on Fort Sumter, along with numerous letters recounting the terrors of battle and the rigors and boredom of life in the field.

Americana, including original artwork, photographs, weapons, and even a Confederate military flag, helps round out this major-event auction. Whatever your collecting interest, we are confident that you will find something in these pages that you must have in your collection!

In addition to helping you add to or start a collection focused in this historically-rich period, we hope you find the catalog enlightening and informative. To aid in the education of the collectible items featured within, we have provided a short bibliography of references that we found particularly helpful in cataloging. We hope that this list serves as a launching point for further education and enjoyment of this great hobby!

Lots 1-458 Spink Smythe, Dallas, Texas UNITED STATES POSTAL HISTORY DURING THE CIVIL WAR Soldier’s Letter Made From a Shirt Collar A Most Extraordinary Usage

1

)

Soldier’s letter made from a shirt collar, three examples of the 1c Blue (#63, with small faults) tied by c.d.s. town cancel on a paper collar to Philadelphia, letter dated 1862, fine.

During the Civil War, the scarceness of basic resources led to creative methods of making envelopes. This was particularly true in the South, where envelope manufacturers used wallpaper, which was in relatively plentiful supply, when their normal paper stock ran out. In the case here, the soldier had just finished fighting in “The Seven Day Battles” and wanted to write home to his mother. Not having the normal paper and envelope material available, he took a paper shirt collar, wrote the letter in pencil on the inside, then addressed and affixed the stamps on the outside. It was accepted in the postal system and delivered to his mother in Philadelphia.

The letter, datelined “Headquarters 2nd Regiment Banks James River Jul 4, 1862” mentions the battles “Dear Mother, We have fought five battles and won five victories. They took place on the 26th, 27th, 30th and 1st & 3rd...”, also talks about Generals McCall and Reynolds being taken prisoner, and various officers being killed or wounded. Toward the end he notes “We have been driven from the rights to the left of our line, which has been completely broken up, but our confidence in McClellan is such that we believe it to be a great strategic movement and expect to enter Richmond soon in triumph...”

A spectacular and unique usage that is certainly one of the most outstanding 1861 One Cent Blue covers in existence. Accompanied by a 2010 PF certificate. (photo)

Union Patriotic Labels of the Civil War, the Arthur Groten award winning exhibit collection offered intact on the exhibit pages, comprised of 70 covers plus a few on unused envelopes and some in sheets, this collection contains 79 of the 101 known labels, six of the covers have the label tied by the cancel, which is very rare, another two are tied by the manuscript address, some are arranged by manufacturer, while others are presented by theme, includes the earliest documented usage of a Civil War label, a couple with contents including one describing the Battle of Second Manassas, three rare usages to the West Coast, one with a Blood’s local, two franked with a 2c Black Jack which is seldom encountered, plus there are some unused sheets, including a complete sheet of the Snow & Hapgood red, white and blue labels (believed to be unique), and four sheets of the C.Y. Haynes & Co. labels in different colors, also a very rare trade card of Harbach and Bros., somewhat mixed condition but overall fine-very fine and quite attractive.

This collection was formed by the foremost student on Civil War labels, Dr. Arthur Groten. Dr. Groten has published several articles on the subject, the latest being found in the March-April 2011 edition of The Collector’s Club Philatelist. Most of the labels are known in quantities of less than ten, and a good number in the collection are in fact unique. Anyone who has tried to find just one of these labels on cover knows what a challenge it really is. It would literally take decades, if not a lifetime, to search through dealer’s stocks and auction houses big and small to replicate this impressive collection.

An incredibly rare opportunity to obtain an award winning exhibit collection completely intact and could certainly be a strong basis for further research and development of this intriguing area. (photo) Est. 10,000-15,000

#49X1, Lenoir, N.C. 5c Blue and orange, unused single with full margins showing frame lines all around, bright fresh colors and unusually clean impressions, affixed to a small piece of a diary dated September 19, 1861, the piece is then affixed to a notarized affidavit dated August 11, 1887 of G.W.F. Harper, the Assistant Postmaster and creator of the die used to print the provisional, very fine.

The date of the piece from the diary, September 19, 1861, is the same date as the issue of the Lenoir postmaster provisional, the piece reads in part “that he retained and pasted in his Diary at the time, the first good impression made from the die, the he had said Diary and the stamp attached in his possession since Sept 19/1861”. The Lenoir provisional was impressed from a pear-wood device carved by the Postmaster’s son, G.W.F. Harper. The Lenoir provisional is rare, with this particular example, being the first impression made, being particularly desirable.

Accompanied by a 2009 PF certificate. Ex-Caspary, Muzzy and Birkinbine, as well as illustrated in the Crown book. (photo) Est. 10,000-15,000

The William Aylett Correspondence 12

)

The correspondence of Colonel William Roane Aylett, 42 covers and two cards, all addressed to Aylett in King William County, Virginia (two are addressed to Miss Alice Page Aylett), most are post-war usages from the late 1860s to the 1880s, there are two that are probably pre-war, one with 1857 1c Blue and another with 1853 3c Nesbitt, most of the post-war covers have Colonel in the address title, several with corner cards including a Land Agency and Virginia Military Institure, a few are legal size envelopes, including one from the War Department (with original letter on U.S. Engineer Office letterhead) and one from the Post Office Department, one cover with stamp missing, covers in mixed condition.

Aylett was a Confederate officer and great-grandson of Patrick Henry. He was also a lawyer in King William County, Virginia, where he lived on his plantation “Montville”. He reached the rank of Colonel during the Civil War and was wounded at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. He assumed command of Gen. Lewis Armistead’s Brigade, was captured in 1865 and spent time on Johnson’s Island prison. (photo - page 6)

1861-O “CSA Obverse” 50 Cents. NGC AU Details, Improperly Cleaned. Breen4906, WB-102. An extremely popular variety among Confederate-centric collectors as the the obverse, identifiable by a die crack (as-struck) that runs from the rim at 11 o’clock down to the bridge of Liberty’s nose, was previously used for striking the four Confederate half dollars. The surfaces maintain ample definition with only slight softening of the highpoints that would likely merit the AU55 level in terms of detail. Soft, attractive golden color is present atop both sides with light, well blended hairlines that fail to significantly impede the eye appeal. For the budget-minded collector, this lot presents outstanding value as non-cleaned examples that hold a similar appearance often sell for between $4,000$5,000 when offered at auction. As close to the prohibitively rare original Confederate half as many will ever be able to obtain. (photo)

1861 Scott Restrike 50 Cents. Choice AU. Breen-8002. Silver- 12.1gms. Mintage: 500.

Obv: (Original Confederate Die Obverse) Confederate shield at center with hat above and wreath surrounding. Rev: (Original Union Obverse Die) Seated Liberty holding cap on staff in left hand and shield with right. After well-known numismatist J. W. Scott obtained the original Confederate die from fellow coin dealer Ebenezer Locke Mason, Jr. who had previously acquired it from the Chief Coiner of the Confederate States of America, Dr. B. F. Taylor, he decided to use the die to create two sets of limited production restrikes. To create the first restrike, Scott acquired some 500 1861 halves, supposedly all from the New Orleans Mint. With the help of David Proskey, he then had the reverses of all examples ground off and flattened. The acquired die was then struck over the defaced reverse surface to essentially create a restrike that came from legitimate fabricate. While the result of the strike did distort the Union obverse with Liberty depicted, it still holds an original feel.

The surfaces, like many of the surviving examples, are darkly patinated with dusky-tan patina on both sides with flashes of multicolored iridescence throughout. Interestingly, close inspection with a loupe reveals evidence of the Union reverse underneath the Confederate overstrike and as Walter Breen noted in his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, several prototype restrikes (Breen-8001) were made previous to the regular restrike (Breen-8002). While it’s not inconceivable that the present is a prototype, the weight of 12.1gms and lack of Union design presence in the centers suggest that the preparation process was just incomplete, leaving parts of the legends. While examples of this restrike can be found at the Mint State level, specimens often appear to have light circulation although much of this can actually be attributed to an incomplete strike and the quality of the Seated half it was paired with. Today, examples in all conditions remain scarce and are in constant high demand from both Confederate historians and 19th century restrike enthusiasts. For the collector interested in obtaining an example, no time is better than the present. Ex. Coin Galleries - February 14, 1996. (photo)

Exceptionally Rare Confederate Half Splasher One of 2-3 Known

17 17

ND (i.e. 1879) J. W. Scott Uniface Brass Confederate Half Dollar Restrike. Uncirculated. Breen-8004. Brass - 4.4gms. Designer: A.H.M. Patterson. More than a decade and a half after the striking of the original Confederate half dollars in 1861, Dr. B. F. Taylor, the Chief Coiner for the Confederacy thought he was safely beyond the threat of treason charges and decided to publish correspondences between he and Hon. Marcus J. Wright, of the Adjutant General’s Office in the New Orleans Picayune. The revelation that the original reverse die still existed caused quite a stir in the numismatic community and shortly after the April 9, 1879 article was published, Dr. Taylor was contacted by coin dealer Ebenezer Locke Mason, Jr. who purchased the die. The die was then quickly resold to J. W. Scott.

With the help of David Proskey who refurbished the die for production, Scott proceeded to produced and distribute a series of two restrikes - the first being struck from genuine 1861 halves with filed down reverses (Breen-8002) and the second, a white metal token paired with an original die (Breen-8003). 500 examples of each were struck. After completing both production runs, Scott retired the die, placing a large cancellation chisel mark through the die. Afterwards, a final few splashers were made on thin brass planchets.

The present example is one of the several splashers known, and its existence eludes even the most seasoned numismatists as a result of its extreme rarity. While considered a uniface strike, the opposite side of the present does show an incuse strike of an 1861 obverse half dollar suggesting that a half was used to help bring up the intended design on the thin brass flan. The present is the second of two examples (and possibly all that exist) that were in Part One of the landmark Americana sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection in 2003. The surfaces retain a bright golden color with several specs of light browning as is typical of brass. Attractive iridescence color is also apparent in the fields and increases the inherent eye appeal. For the historian who finds this era of civil unrest in our nation particularly appealing, this striking is certain to carry heightened significance as the rarity is unmatched among obtainable Confederate relics and it could very well have been the very last striking from the iconic Confederate half die. An incomparable opportunity that will surely not present itself again anytime soon. Ex. Elliot Smith; F.C.C. Boyd Estate; John J. Ford Jr. Collection; private collection.

Rarely Offered Haseltine Restrike Confederate Cent One of 55 Struck in Copper

18 18

1861 (i.e. 1874) Haseltine Confederate Cent Restrike. NGC PR61 Brown. Breen8008. Mintage: 55. Copper - 3.7gms. While the original four Confederate half dollars are by a large margin the most valuable numismatic relics of the Confederacy, it is Robert Lovett, Jr.’s Confederate cent that is the most storied. According to popular accounts, Lovett was first approached by Bailey and Company (later Bailey, Banks, and Biddle) who had been contracted by a Confederate officer to render a pattern cent for circulating coinage. In accordance with requests, Lovett readied dies and apparently struck twelve copies in copper-nickel (an account from contemporary numismatic dealer Edward Maris suggests 16 examples were originally struck). The design, an attractive representation of Liberty, was the focus of the obverse with the date and “Confederate States of America” around the legend. The reverse had a wreath composed of southern agricultural products, with a bale of cotton at the base of the wreath and an incuse L at the bottom right to serve as Lovett’s signature. ONE CENT rounded out the reverse design and sat in the center within the wreath. According to a later account, (now largely thought to have been embellished or outright falsified), after striking Lovett grew weary of his possible affiliation to the Confederacy, and in doing so hid the coins and dies. More than a decade later in 1873, knowledge of the existence of the cents entered the numismatic community. Shortly thereafter, word got around to prominent Philadelphia dealer John W. Haseltine who procured the dies and 8 originals of the cent from Lovett. Haseltine then formulated plans with his business partner, J. Colvin Randall, to make restrikes from the original dies for the general public. Later in 1873, Haseltine followed through with his plans - striking 12 copies in silver, 7 in gold, and 55 in copper, with the die showing significant damage after the 55th copper striking. The present example is one of the 55 Haseltine restrikes in copper.

Today, any appearance at auction of an original or Haseltine restrike of this cent is highly anticipated. The present, from the storied Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, carries glossy brown surfaces with attractive multicolored iridescence when viewed at angles. One mark of significance is noted on Liberty’s cheek and can be seen from the image in the Eliasberg catalog. No other marks are notable and the overall appearance is quite attractive. An item of significant desire in the numismatic community with allure that will surely only grow as time passes. NGC Population: 1 in 61, 5 finer. Ex. Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection.

1913 Gettysburg Reunion 50th Anniversary Gold Medal. Gem Uncirculated.

38mm/46.9gms. .627 AGW. By Whitehead & Hoag. Obv: Kneeling veterans clasping hands, Liberty with fasces and olive branches behind with American flag as curtain to left and small window at right; REUNION in cartouche at center with 1863/1913 flanking.

Rev: Large clasping hands with Pennsylvania outline with REUNION CIVIL WAR VETERANS 1913 atop, keystone underneath, and olive branch wreath at edges. Edge: Whitehead-Hoag /10K. The 1913 Gettysburg Reunion was the largest combined reunion of Civil War veterans ever held. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the event’s host, extended invitations to every surviving honorably discharged Union and Confederate veteran in the nation. It was scheduled to be a unique encampment, a combined reunion of members of the Grand Army of the Republic and United Confederate Veterans. Despite an attempt to limit the number of attendees, over 50,000 chose to attend, as veterans settled onto the former battlefield.

When finally accounted for, not only were there veterans of Gettysburg, but men who had fought under McClellan at Antietam, Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley, Sherman in Georgia, Grant in Tennessee, Bragg in Kentucky, Hood at Atlanta, and Ord at Appomattox. An impressive relic still housed in its original leather box with deep purple interior fabric. The medal itself remains in essentially new condition with the box showing light wear. Unquestionably very rare in its present format as we have not been able to locate another. (photo)

Fort Sumter: FW Pickens Important Manuscript Address by Gov. FW Pickens of South Carolina, 2 separate pages, legal folio, on blue paper, undated but based on internal evidence, March 4, 1861. Headed “Secret Session,” it is addressed to the House of Representatives in answer to resolutions passed “in Secret Session the 3rd instant,” reading in part, “As to the ‘Condition of the Fortifications in Charleston Harbor,’ I...refer to the Reports on file in the Adjutant General’s Office, which should not, for obvious reasons in the existing state of things, be made public...In answer...‘as to what officers are in Command of the Fortifications,’...General [John] Dunovant is in Command of Fort Moultrie and Sullivans Island, and until yesterday, was in command of all the Forts and Military points occupied around the harbor [PGT Beauregard arrived in Charleston on March 3, 1861, and took official command of its defenses, giving further information to date the address]; Colonel J. Johnston Pettigrew...is in command of Castle Pinckney; Captain Joseph Johnson, of the Charleston Rifles, is in command of Fort Johnson; Colonel John Cunningham...is in command of the Arsenal, containing the arms and ammunition of the United States in this City. In answer to the inquiry ‘by what authority’ those officers were placed in Command...it was done by orders, issued by myself. As to...‘damage committed by the United States Forces’ and whether they ‘have been repaired’ I again refer to the Reports...in the Adjutant General’s Office...In answer to the inquiry as to whether any measures have been taken to prevent supplies being furnished to Fort Sumpter [sic] & to prevent communication between that Fort & Charleston, I would state, that all practicable measures have been adopted...” Rifles had been sent to Sumter from the US Arsenal in the city, no doubt inspiring this last inquiry. Soiling at top of first page, tear in top of second, uneven lower border to second, one hole in body affecting one word, otherwise about VG. This was among those paper rescued from Columbia before it was burned when Gen WT Sherman’s troops entered it in late 1864. Just over a month after this address, on April 12, after an order to surrender was refused, the first shot was fired from Ft. Johnson on Ft. Sumter, initiating a war that would claim over 600,000 American lives, leave half the country devastated, and decide the questions of slavery and the limits of states rights.

Fort Sumter: F.W. Pickens Good war content Autograph Letter Signed “F.W. Pickens” as governor, 3/4 page, legal folio, on blue paper, no place [probably Columbia], no date, but from content definitely from 1861. He writes ordnance officer Col. Edward Manigault in Charleston, “Of course the powder is not to be sent to Sumter or delivered except through our own officers and upon reasonable estimates. No powder to be given to unfinished batteries, and magazines to be reported in safe order, but some powder must be immediately sent to batteries at Hilton Head & Bay point. Has any been sent? Let them be prepared at any expence. We must keep for the present 20,000 lbs as reserve in Charleston. Now much is in Moultrie. Please let me know. Genl [David E.] Twiggs telegraphs me from N. Orleans & begs for some. I supplied not a pound.

Make any assignments you can immediately to purchase me 50,000 lbs.” Toning at edges, wear along left edge, VG. General Twiggs had been dismissed from the US Army for surrendering Texas forts to secessionists before the state had even seceded! He was made a general in the CS Army and commanded at New Orleans, but due to age retired in October 1861. “Our own officers” probably refers to South Carolinians as opposed to other Confederates, making it likely that this letter is from after the fall of Sumter, therefore spring or summer 1861.

Blake proceeds to the city this morning, & is directed to ask of you such information as you can furish him concerning the Ammunition Boxes, ordered for this fort. The understanding was that they should be done on Wednesday...I venture to suggest that the boxes if furnished be sent direct to this fort, that the a/c including drayage be checked by one of your offices & sent to me.

Fort Henry and Fort Donelson A choice Autograph Letter Signed “Geo. W. Cullum,” chief engineer of the Army of the Cumberland, 4 pages, 4to, Cairo, IL, February 9, 1862.

He writes to Gen. Henry Halleck between the capture of Fort Henry on February 6 and the Battle of Fort Donelson on the 11th-16th, actions that earned Ulysses S. Grant his first national attention: “I enclose you two letters received by me this mornign from Gen. Grant and Lt. Col [James B.] McPherson the latter accompanied by sketches of Fort Henry and his reconnaissance to near Fort Donelson [not present]...Four companies of 2nd Illinois Infantry - 425 men and 16 guns 2nd Illinois Artillery have arrived. I understand Gen. Grant left express orders for them to remain here...My own opinion is that they should be sent to the field...The Empress returned from Fort Henry.

I stopped her here to take up the Tennessee the 48th Indiana, 32d Illinois and two heavy guns from Fort Holt...removing ten guns...two to be sent to Fort Henry...I learrn that there is a nest of Knights of the Golden Circle in Randolph County Ill. I have sent two policement to watch them, get their names, & have written to the Governor of Illinois to take necessaries for the arrest of the ringleaders...I may have to arrest an emissary going to John C. Breckenridge...The Gunboat Essex will have to go to St. Louis for a new boiler etc. Capt. [William D.] Porter is better today, but not out of danger...” With more good content! Paper repairs at fold splits affect two lines, but they remain legible. Otherwise VG. The Knights of the Golden Circle was a secret organization of northern friends of the Confederacy, essentially the most extreme faction of Copperheads. (photo - page 30)

Sargent, “You asked me last night to state candidly my opinion in regard to Mr. James Flagg’s fitness to take the lamented Mr. Dawning’s place - Mr. Flagg is eminently qualified to fill the situation - He is a skilful [sic] agricultural chemist, a botanist of considerable acquirements, intimately acquainted with English ornamental gardening, a very neat architectural & mechanical draughtsman and designs with much facility & taste - I may add that Mr. Flagg is quite an educated man and possesses much useful & varied information...” Old catalogue description pasted to head of letter in blank margin; lightly age-toned, with edge and fold wear including minor splits at left edge, otherwise in good condition. In 1842, Sargent had published a lecture he’d given at the Boston Lyceum on naval improvements, specifically Ericsson’s caloric engine. With ALS “J. Ericsson,” 1 page, 8vo, no place, “Thursday morning” [March 1857]. Writing to shipping entrepreneur John B. Kitching, he pens “If you can spare time give me a call to day, between 3 & 5 o’clock, you will see something in the caloric line that will please you...” Age-toned, stained, otherwise good.

USS Monitor: Samuel Dana Greene American naval officer (1839-1884); volunteered to serve on the USS Monitor and remained in that post until she foundered off Cape Hatteras; as executive officer, he relieved Capt. John L. Worden when he was injured by shrapnel during the Battle of Hampton Roads. Exceedingly rare Autograph Letter Signed “Dana,” 3-1/3 pages, 8vo, written aboard the “Monitor / Sunday / May 4th, 1862.”

He writes his father, Gen. George S. “Pap” Greene, “I am rejoiced…to hear of your appointment of Brig. General…Yorktown[VA] has been evacuated by the Rebels, and [Union commander in chief General George B.] McClellan is pursuing them in hot haste with his light artillery and cavalry…The Merrimac [CSS Virginia, which the Monitor had famously battled two months earlier] made her appearance this afternoon, but did not venture below Crany Island. She was apparently on a pleasure trip, as we thought we could discover several ladies on board with our glasses. We expect her down every pleasant day, but she appears to have a wholesome fear of us…Our pilot house has been completed, and now we think our craft invulnerable at every point…Capt. Worden is able to see from both of his eyes, and will probably be able to leave for New York in a week…” Minor fold wear and soiling, with later presentation note after close, overall VG. With several pages of choice background material, and three reproduction photographs, one showing the Monitor’s dented turret, and another of Greene with other crew members. Young Lt. Samuel Greene was executive officer aboard the USS Monitor when she faced off against the much larger Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia at Hampton Roads, VA on March 9, 1862. The Monitor was charged with protecting damaged ships from the previously unstoppable Virginia, and succeeded in her task. However, neither of the ironclads was able to pierce the other’s armor, leading to a stalemate despite four hours of battle. Late in the fight, a Confederate shell exploded outside the Monitor’s pilot house, blinding her commander, Capt. John L. Worden. Lt. Greene succeeded to command and returned the ship to action, but the Virginia, thinking the Yankees had withdrawn, had begun to steam away. Greene ordered some shots fired, but remembering his vessel’s orders to protect the Union’s wounded ships, called off pursuit. He took the enemy’s departure for a retreat, leaving both sides to believe they had won! The Virginia’s “pleasure trips” would not go on much longer. Four days after this letter, she would threaten the Monitor and four other ships as they fired on a Confederate fort, but no battle ensued. On May 11, Southern forces evacuated and the Virginia, with too much draft to go upriver, was scuttled. The Monitor would founder off North Carolina later in the year. This is the only letter we know of by Greene while aboard the Monitor to have ever come on the market. (photo)

USS Monitor: John L. Worden American naval officer (1818-97); commanded the USS Monitor in the first great battle of ironclad warships at Hampton Roads, and was temporarily blinded by a Confederate shell; after the war, was superintendent of the US Naval Academy and served in the US European squadron. Brief but exceptional Autograph Letter signed “John L. Worden / Rear Adml.,” 1/2 page, 8vo, New York, September 16, 1890. He writes publisher EB Treat, “I hand you with this the history of the first Monitor which will add some facts to those already published, with additional items of my biography to date.” Enclosure not present. Tape traces at edges, fold wear, otherwise VG. With period carte-de-visite engraving and reproduction photograph of Worden.

Peninsula Campaign: Union Soldier’s Letter - Great content lengthy ALS by Elliott L. Dann of the 12th New York Infantry, “Camp Before Yorktown, VA,” May 2-5, 1862. He tells his sister that “the Secesh is getting pretty mad...They make the shot & shell fly...so near...that we can hear the humming of the broken fragments as they fly off.” He relates how a 32-pound shell bounced inches from a friend’s head. When he goes to see where it happened, “hum through the air come a sound which I well knew...Pa always said that the Secesh would have my head off before I would have time to make a move,” but he hit the dirt and “scarce a second had elapsed before a crash like thunder...within 10 feet of us sending the pieces in every direction literaly covering us with dirt...Providence interposed...while others who were in aperent security wer either killed or maimed...Whilst none of this Regt have been killed by shot or shell, several have died in camp...” He continues on the 5th: “Every thing has been busy & excited all day Saturday [May 3] & all night the Secesh fired as if they ment to Anihilate the whole Union Army but in reality doing but very little damage...The next morning the Baloon went up & soon come down with the dglad news that Yorktown was evacuated by the Rebles...If you could have heard the loud long cheers that sounded...over the Plains of Yorktown, over the same fields that 85 years ago echoed with the notes of Victory of the galant troops of Washington, Green, La Fayett & Rochambeau...The bands...struck up & everything seemed changed...All were anxious to persue the flying rebles...& not leave them until all wer taken prisoners or dispersed & thus by one mighty blow end a war that might otherwise linger along for two or three months, but MCleland [George B. McClellan] knows best...Times will show...Today the report of canon is heard in the direction that the Secesh took, toward Norfolk...I think the OLD DIRTY DOZEN has seen the last of the Secesh & before the Summer is out I think they will be home...” With much more detail and personal content.

Some stiffness at folds, the usual minor soiling, but VG. Dann’s expectations of a short war were common among soldiers, as was his faith in Gen McClellan. The “Dirty Dozen” would soon see hard fighting in the Seven Days’ battles. (photo - page 30)

Hanover Court House: Berdan’s Sharpshooters Choice ALS by Richard B. Blodgett of Company G, 1st US (Berdan’s) Sharp Shooters, 6 pages, 8vo, “Camp - 7 miles from Richmond,” May 31, 1862. He tells his parents in Wisconsin, “Last Tuesday [May 27] we went out on the front for the purpose of burning a railroad bridge but came up with a large body of rebels near Hanover court house. After a severe fight from 2 o’clock in the afternoon till sundown we succeeded in driving the rebels with great loss.

When we first came up we acted as a reserve for the 25th NY and also to support our battery. We were in a small hollow and the rebels were in a clover field about 60 rods from us and the 25th NY were deployed as skirmishers in a piece of woods...The rebels fired at us with grape and cannister and a number were hurt. Corpl Richardson of our Co. had a finger shot off and finaly we were moved out of this place and went to the woods...and went on nearly a mile beyond the 25th to pick up prisoners for while we were moving to the wood a charge had been made and the rebels put to flight...We went near some timber and rested while the Cavalry went in pursuit...We began to hear pretty heavy firing on our left and pretty soon General [George W.] Morell ordered us forward with his brigade and we went down in a hurry. When we got thare our Co was deployed as skirmishers...At the same time the 9th Mass charged through them and drove the rebels out into an open field...While charging through the woods our boys got broke up and rebels had formed in line of battle and advanced on us. The boys formed in line while doing so the rebels fired a number of volleys but the line was formed and [Capt. Charles] Griffins Battery fired a number of shells in the rebel ranks. The 9th Mass charged, away went the rebels...and left the field in our possession...I have heard a rumor [Gen Nathaniel P.] Banks had been defeated and Foreign powers are going to interfere...I do wish this war would close then I want to fight old England...I guess the pressident would like to give Johnny a sound old whipping...” Fold and edge wear, with one tape repair at a fold edge, toning, but VG. With original envelope in fair condition. Gen. Banks had indeed been defeated at the First Battle of Winchester, but of course no foreign power intervened in the war. Just weeks after this letter, Blodgett was captured at Mechanicsville and imprisoned in Richmond, where he would take ill and die in July. (photo - page 30)

Shiloh: Soldier’s Letter Remarkable content letter by Jacob M. Porter of the 8th Ohio Light Artillery, 4 pages, 4to, Pittsburg Landing, TN, April 14, 1862. He writes to his brother in detail about the Battle of Shiloh on April 6-7: “General Grant ordered us in camp 8 miles a bove Town [Savannah, TN] at which place we have bin ever since. I am happy to inform you that the 8th Battery did good Sirvice in this Battle with out the soll of a single man. We were attacked By the Enimy on Sabbath morning the 6th By a force of Sixty Thousand Strong. We having a bout one hundred and sixty thousand. But they took us on supprise and came into our camp when we least Expicted them so our men wer so scairid and completely panick stricken that they wer compelled to retreat back several miles before they made a stand. The Rebbels fought like tigers, the hole time...They fought all day with out ceasing 10 minutes until late in the Evening at which time the rebbels wer compelled to retreat back. Our Battery was in the fight when they made one of there most galent charges, attempting to drive us in the Tennessee Rivver, or take us all prisinors, that they found it a litle too heavy, For the artilery all had good positions and as they came up we just mowed them down. I was told afterwards by one of the prisiners that they lost more men on that one charge than they lost the whole day. The battle continued nearly two days before we cleaned them out. The battle was fought in our own camp. It is pronounced by all the Generals as being the hardest Fought Battle that was Ever fought in America. The loss was reported...on the Rebbels side wounded and killed Eleven thousand; on Ours killed and wounded 7 thousand [actually about 13,000]. The Rebbels the second day numberred a bout two hundred thousand [actually 40,000]. We being Reinforced by Buel [Gen. Don Carlos Buell] is all that saved our bacons, or else they would have whipped us...Lieut. Cornel Kyle [actually Lieutenant Barton Kyle] of the 71st Ohio he fell in the Early part of the action By a ball passing through is lungs.

Cornel Masson of that Regiment run...The most horrible scene that any mortal being Ever witnessed is the battle fields, to hear the pleadings of the wounded and the groans of the dying, and then those that have been toren to peices by shells and cannonballs. I volinteered my sirvises one whole day in hauling the Dead and wounded from the field. Some places they lay as thick as Crosstyes...They would dig a hole a bout 3 feet deep and as long as they wished it, and place them with there face down.

Some time put 1 or twoWaggonloads in each place...General Ulery was mortalery wounded yester day” while throwing down a pile of muskets, one of which went off.

Some very light foxing, wear at folds, VG. The 71st Ohio under Col. Mason was later accused of cowardice, though its high casualties suggest it first took on the enemy. Shiloh was indeed the bloodiest battle in American history up to that point, and was a sobering indication to both sides that the war would be long and hard. It also initiated the military partnership between Generals Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman that would ultimately win the war for the Union. (photo - page 30)

Cumberland Gap: Soldier’s Diary Great content Soldier’s Diary belonging to Cpl. James W. Sawyer of the Wisconsin 1st Light Artillery, 12mo, July-September 1862. Sawyer’s broad duties include helping his captain prepare rolls, foraging with cavalry, tending to horses, standing guard, manning artillery in battle, and maintaining the guns. He is part of Gen. George W. Morgan’s forces in Cumberland Gap at the union of Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee, where they attempt to hold the strategic position after the withdrawal of the main Confederate force. However, there is much skirmishing, some of it accidental, as on July 23, when “By some miss arrangement there was a party of secesh cavalry escorting a flag of truce fired into and two or three killed.” On the 26, they arrive near Tazewell, TN: “Fired a few shot at the secesh at 1-1/2 mile range, don’t know how good an effect it but [sic] there was some good shots made. It is the first time we have had a chance at a live rebel.” The next day: “Started this morning to drive the rebels back or to fight them just as they chose but they chose to run. Shelled the woods all around us.” On August 4, his unit is “sent for by Col. Pardy [Don L. Pardee] of the 42nd O.V. to help him hold the Enemy in check. Moved down to Big Spring. Rebels came in force but they met with such a resistance by our little handful of men and one piece of artillery. Had quite a little skirmish with the MISERABLES. They brought out two pieces of artillery to bear upon us that made shell fly around us uncomfortably close, but a few well directed shots from our guns made them change position...We held our position...until sundown when we moved back.” After another duel on the 5th, on the 6th, they “moved out in direction of the Springs. Were attacked about 11 & came very near being taken. Had to run the gunlet of two or four regiments of musketry to get out...Fired a few shots and then came to camp where the balance of the Battery was all got into position and opened fire upon their line of Battle which entirely broke it up.” On the 7th, they retreat due to low ammunition, and on the 8th, Sawyer sums up: The rebels had 110 killed and as many more wounded. Loss on our side one killed & between 50 & 60 wounded and missing. Took two officers prisoners, a Lieut. Colonel and a Capt.” Ten days later they are probed by the enemy and respond with 20- and 30-pounders. After several days of shooting by pickets, the Confederates on the 22nd “sent us an order to surrender unconditionally or they would attack us with 50,000 strong in the morning, but I believe they HAVE or WILL conclude to let that alone.” Soon fog descends on the Gap “so that it looks like a large lake and the tops of the hills...look like so many Islands.” In early September they receive reports that Sawyer “can hardly believe,” that Lexington has been occupied (true) and that Gen. George B. McClellan and Gen. Franz Sigel have been killed (false). Cut off from supplies, the men are on 1/4 rations, and on the 12th, Sawyer admits they will “have to skedaddle out of this.” The last entry is for September 15, a day before they are scheduled to retreat. Front cover detached but present. Staining along top edge, well rubbed board edges, overall VG. The 1st Wisconsin Light Artillery would successfully retreat from Cumberland Gap, and later served effectively under Gen. Sherman in the Vicksburg Campaign. (photo - page 30)

Antietam: Col Thomas Welsh Rare, fantastic content ALS in pencil by Col Thomas Welsh, commander of the 2nd Brigade under Brig Gen Orlando Willcox, 4 pages, 4to, “Antietam Creek, Md.,” September 23, 1862. He tells his wife that they are about to march to Harper’s Ferry, WV, and “I presume the Rebels will not dare to attack us now...I have just heard that Capt. Grove is dead. He had his leg amputated by reason of a severe wound at South Mountain...Budding was shot in the foot. Stape was shot in the Sholder...We did not lose many men in the last battle [of Antietam, on September 17] yet it was wonderful that a single one of us Escaped. The Genral told me in the morning that we were to stay in position at the Bridge so many of our Troops being killed or wounded. Genl. [Ambrose E.] Burnside thought best to send over fresh troops and of course I was ordered across. I was hardly across the Bridge until the Bullets began to fly thick. The troops who had crossed before us were ordered to lay down and let us march over them. This compelled me to let Jerry go and take it on foot.

My orders were to charge straight at the Rebels and we did so, the 45th [Pennsylvania Infantry] ahead. My boys yell’d like Indians and charged Bayonet at double quick.

They followed the Rebels so fast that I could not begin to keep up. They went over fences and stone walls through corn fields and archards with great crowds of Rebels running still more rapid. The other Regiments of my Brigade could not keep up...when near the Edge of Sharpsburg I overtook them, having run fully one mile.

During all this time...we were opposed to a terrible storm of bullets, shell, grape, and canister. Yet strange to say the 45 had but one man kill’d & 38 wounded. I feel much chagrined at the manner in which my Brigade and particularly my Regiment is treated, or rather neglected by the newspaper reporters. The most desperate fighting at South Mountain was by the 45th...General Burnside, [Jesse L.] Reno, and Wilcox thought I and my Regiment had been mainly instrumental in gaining a great victory, but lo! when the papers are received we are not even mentioned!” Credit went to an Ohio regiment instead, and only one paper said that the 45th had assisted. “This is a LIE throughout. Genl. [Jacob D.] Cox men had an engagement in the morning, but instead of us helping them, during the fight the Ohio Regiments were laying in a hollow and I went myself and tried to get one of them to support the 45th but as the bullets were flying very thick they would not budge...My boys, after their splendid feats of courage expected to be praised a little. I am so thoroughly disgusted with the management of this army that it really makes me sick to contemplate the result. The whole rebel Army could have been captured or destroyed easily before it could have cross’d the Potomac, but indeed it seems to me that [Union commander Gen George B.] McClellan left them escape purposely.” Fold wear, soiling, VG. With original envelope. Welsh does not exaggerate his men’s valor; their charge was the furthest Union advance of the Battle of Antietam, and they only withdrew because they could not be supported. He would be named brigadier general in November, and served under Grant and Sherman in the Vicksburg campaign, where he contracted malaria, dying in August 1863. A very rare autograph and the best content Antietam letter we have heard of! (photo - page 30)

In this battle we were under very heavy fire from several batteries on us, and the shot and shell burst all around us, a solid shot went through two horses directly in front of me, struck the ground beside me, bounced off and lodged in the bank beyond. After we had crossed the bridge we were drawn up in close column, behind our batteries, and here remained the rest of the day, the shot and shell...striking the bank behind us with a deathlike ‘chug.’ Several horses were killed, and several men slightly wounded by pieces of shell. Some of the officers were struck, but nobody killed. It was a miraculous escape...and very fortunate that our batteries were able to hold their position.

If they had been driven back or captured we should have all been cut to pieces, as we were placed in a position from which we could neither charge nor retreat, another brilliant officer [Capt. Henry Muirheid] having command of the cavalry. We were under fire two days after when we pressed them to the river, but they had all crossed and nothing but the artillery was engaged...” He closes with a complaint that liquor that had been sent to him was confiscated in transit! Folds, VG/F. Rush’s Lancers had begun the war armed with actual lances, but were later armed with Sharps repeaters. They fought at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. Lt. Richards would be promoted to captain just a month after writing this letter.

Antietam: Official Report Important Autograph Document Signed “J.W. Hofmann / Lt. Col. 56th Reg’t, Penna Vols / Com’d’g 2d Brigade,” 3-1/2 pages, legal folio, “In Camp near Sharpsburg, Md,” September 23, 1862. Hofmann sends to Capt. Halstead, assistant adjutant general of Gen Abner Doubleday’s division (of which the 56th was part), giving his brigade’s actions during the fight on the 16th and 17th. The 56th Pa was waiting for brigades to cross Antietam Creek when “the skirmishers of the enemy opened a lively fire upon us. They were, however, soon driven back by a force sent from our division...without having inflicted any loss.” After a marching snafu, they take position between those of Gen Marsena Patrick and Gen George Meade, securing an area of woods.

On the morning of the 17th, “I directed the Brigade Battery, the First New Hampshire...to be placed on the right of the Brigade...I had five pieces placed in the field and one in the road to enable us to enfilade the enemy should he approach from our right or left. The Battery had scarce been placed...when the enemy opened fire upon us from a battery placed in a cow-field some eight hundred yards to our front and left.

Our Battery replied immediately, firing evidently with good effect for one hour when the battery of the enemy was withdrawn beyond the range of the guns...” At about 10 A.M., Gen Joseph Hooker moved the battery away from the brigade, and had Hofmann send the 95th NY under Maj Pye to support another battery 200 yards ahead, which “soon drew the fire from the enemy, partially the object of stationing the guns in that position...At about half past eleven...by order of Gen Doubleday, I moved the Brigade to our front and left about three hundred yards, and posteed the section of rifled guns in front of the line...They opened on the enemy, who replied with shell and musketry.” After a half hour, “a large cavalry force was seen passing in rear of a narrow strip of wood, evidently attempting to attack us in flank on the right. A heavy body of infantry, much larger than my own immediately followed...I retired to a corn-field in rear, some two hundred yards, and reformed line of battle” where the enemy would have to cross a broad open area to attack, before moving left half a mile on Doubleday’s orders. Late in the afternoon, on orders from Gen Edwin Sumner, “I placed the Brigade in the front line of battle...Our position was just below the crest of a hill, and immediately in rear of a long line of artillery...The enemy opened fire from a battery in our front, throwing shell, several of which exploded over our line, but caused us no loss. The fire...was immediately responded to by our artillery, and was soon silenced. Fold wear, otherwise condition is VG. Hofmann’s command ended at the extreme left of the Federal line, where the fighting was its least intense. Elsewhere the fighting made September 17, 1862, the bloodiest in American history. The battle was a tactical draw, largely because overall commander George B. McClellan did not commit more of his forces to exploit advantages gained at different points in the Confederate line over the course of the day. He held them instead in reserve while Gen Robert E. Lee committed all of his available men. However, it was a strategic victory, for Lee was forced to withdraw behind the Potomac River. (photo - page 30)

Fredericksburg: Surgeon’s Letter Interesting content ALS, mostly in pencil (but finished and signed in ink) by Thomas M. Hills of the 27th Connecticut Infantry, 1 page, legal folio, Fredericksburg, December 15, 1862. He writes to his wife in New Haven that he is tired, as “we had a good fight Saturday [Dec. 13] - We had about 75 men...at the Brigade Hospital (where I have been - it was within 1/2 mile of the battle field).

There are probably quite a number more wounded that wandered off to other Hospitals Y back to camp.Two other Surgeons & myself worked operating Saturday all day & till 1 oclock Saturday morning! I laid down on the bare floor without even any pillow...Wounded men had my blanket...Yesterday we operated all day, till late, & all to-day...We have sent all the wounded across the [Rappahannock] river - for the rebbels have threatened to shell the town. Henry got a ball through the fleshy part of the shoulder - not bad...He fairly drove some of his men onto the field telling them that if they don’t pull another step he would shoot them. He marched boldly up stood up till he had fired all his ammunition while all the rest were on their backs & every man was telling him to get down...Andrew got a slight wound of the scalp...I have amputated...a number of times, a dozen I should think, I have not counted them up - have taken out any quantity of balls...Just as I wrote the last we received orders to vacate Fredricksburg - packed stores & left. We are back again near our old encampment.” Folds, but clean and VG. With original envelope. In just nine months of total service, the 27th CT fought in three of the hardest battles of the war: Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. It had begun with over 800 men and by the end of July 1863, fewer than 200 remained. (photo - page 30)

Fredericksburg: Union Soldier’s Letter Outstanding content ALS in pencil by John L. Smith of the 35th Massachusetts Infantry, 3-1/5 pages, 4to, “Camp near Fredricksberg, Va” December 23, 1862. He writes to his sister and brother about watching the battle from camp earlier in the month: “It was a great sight although not a pleasant one to see long lines of infantry extending as far as the eye could reach moving against the entrenchments of the enemy and showers of shot and shell from the enemy’s batteries...This side of the river our guns opened on the city about 4 o’clock in the morning and kept firing at intervals till daylight when our guns opened all along the line.

I doubt if such cannonading was ever heard before...The shot & shell made such a screeching through the air...like the wind in a very stormy night when it whistles...a screeching & moaning sound. Before long the city was on fire in several places. The firing was kept up all day. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon our men got a pontoon across the river...We lost quite a number of men from the sharpshooters that were stationed in the houses on the opposite side of the river but our batteries were doing such good execution that it made the place rather hot for them. As soon as the bridges were got across our troops poured over the river and into the city...Our army kept crossing all night...It took till noon the next day...In the morning our lines began to advance. You could hear the report of a musket here and there...till there was a perfect rattle of muskets, then the rebel batteries opened on our lines and were replied to by our battteries...The rebels had a splendid position. Our infantry made several charges to take the rebel batteries but were repulsed every time with terrible slaughter. The fight was kept up till night. The next day it was not renewed on the part of the infantry...Our loss on killed & wounded was fearful...If the whole army suffered in the same proportion as our Regt. it must have been between 25,000 & 30,000 [in fact it was 11,000]...I was in Fredricksberg the day after the battle, there was scarcely a house but had from one to twenty holes in it...such a destruction of property I never witnessed before...It was like if 50,000 men were turned loose in the city of Boston and alowed the privilege of plunder and they did not know what to do with it when they got it...I am well but sick of this war when is it to be finished. It will never be done by fighting for the rebels always have the advantage of us...” Some soiling of last page, otherwise VG/F. The battle was a terrible defeat for the Union, whose casualties doubled those of the enemy, and led to the removal of Gen. Ambrose Burnside from command of the Army of the Potomac.

We haven’t had a good night’s rest since the 27th of December...We marched 18 miles in the cold rain...There was no sleep for us that night as our blankets were all wet.

It was just three miles to Murfreesboro, where we arrived by sun up...We then marched out a mile & a half east of town where we were drawn up in a line of battle expecting a fight every minute. We remained in this position until sunset the 30th, when we were ordered around to the extreme left about five miles. We got there about ten o’clock in the night. We had the river to cross, which made it so late going five miles we had it to cross on rails & rocks. We were then in half a mile of the enemy’s lines. By daylight the 31st we were in a line of battle & marching on the Yankees. The firing commenced about sunup & continued about all day. We drove them back three miles & held the battlefield two days. The Yankees’s loss as far as I could see was about five to one. Dear Sister, I escaped un hurt...I was very much exposed all day. I believed I was protected by the all-seeing eye, otherwise I don’t see how I could have escaped...I have lost all my blankets & clothes except the suit I have on...I wish you would send me two pair of pants, two pairs of drawers, one shirt, some blankets, or something to sleep on, and some socks...I heard that Mr. Bickerstaff was mortally wounded & Monroe was wounded, but I could not find out whether their wounds were very bad or not...” Fold wear including small holes at intersections, a few dampstains, well toned, but very legible all the same, and about VG.

Murfreesboro/Stone’s River: Union Officer’s Letter Great content ALS of Lt. Milton B Chamberlain of the 4th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, 5 pages, 4to, Murfreesboro, TN, January 6, 1863. He writes his mother in great detail, explaining the placement of cavalry before describing the main battle: “December 31...Our Army had united the evening before, a hazardous operation in such close vicinity...The rebels early in the morning extended their left so as to have more troops opposite our right wing, and then they began the attack. The overwhelming numbers caused [Maj. Gen. Alexander] McCook to give way...On the right giving way, the center and left wing were formed behind the railroad and when the rebels eemerged from the woods the firing was just terrible. The day appeared lost, but with superhuman exertion our troops held their ground, drove the rebels back across the pike and at dark our line had advanced...When word was brought that McCook was giving way, [Gen. W.S. Rosecrans] ordered Col. [John] Kennett to take what cavalry he had left (about 70 of the 3rd Kentucky) and go to Wilkinson’s Crossroads.” There, Chamberlain and a few cavalry garded “the fords of Stone River to prevent the stragglers from crossing. In the afternoon, they “drove back the rebel troopers who had pursued our men to the hospital...and attacked the train. There was considerable cavalry fighting...in the open fields on the right...Col. [Minor] Millikin was killed here. Two charges drove the rebel cavalry from this part of the field...Wherever the fight was thickest, there was Rosecrans encourageing the troops...Jan 1st...Still confident that Rosecrans would whip [Gen. Braxton] Bragg today. Between 9 and 11 o’clock there was some very hard fighting on the right and centre.

The cavalry was all drawn up in the open fields and...were shelled until we retired a half mile.

The rebel cavalry...succeeded in burning a few of our wagons...Jany 2d - Battle opened early this morning with artillery and musketry. The firing was not very brisk until about 21/2 P.M. when a terrible fight began on the left and was continued til dark...the left being well advanced across the river. Rebel loss was very great...and our men are in excellent spirits...The rebel Genl. [Roger] Hanson was killed this afternoon...Jany 3rd - A little skirmishing...until an hour before dark when a heavy cannonading accompanied by musketry could be heard in the direction of [Maj Gen. Thomas L.] Crittenden...About 11 o’clock P.M. [Maj. Gen. Lovell] Rousseau’s Division drove the rebels out of their intrenchments...On Sunday morning...it was supposed that the enemy had evacuated...Our los is quite heavy and the rebels equally so. Their force was 42,000, ours not 40,000...” With much more good content! Some soiling at a few folds, otherwise VG/F. Extremely clearly written, making an exceptional and highly informative letter! Though promoted to captain for his service at Murfreesboro, Chamberlain would resign on March 6, 1863. (photo - page 42)

Once a teacher, he writes to a young friend, “I am a student yet and our teacher (Gen. Rosecrans) is teaching this young idea how to shoot. He gave us one lesson by the way of experience in front of Murfreesboro...I do not wish to get where balls fly thicker than they did here. Our regiment went in action with 480 men and out of that number we lost 216...Sometimes it seemed as if a dozen thunder storms had come together and lightning was striking in every tree around...When I was a little boy I thought I would like to be a soldier...Now I belong to one of the greatest armies that was in the field in modern times...When the rebels attacked us I was making coffee and I had to throw my water out and do without coffee and supper until the fight was over...We went in on a charge yelling like so many Indians. We fought a short time when the rebels over powered us on account of superior numbers and drove us back across the river.” Anxious not to lose his haversack, he turned and drove the enemy back, “and got my haversack and canteen canteen, then went after the rebels on my own hook bush whacking style. If night had not came on we would have given them the worst whipping they ever got...This was once a beautiful country but between here and Nashville it is entirely desolate. Villages, houses, fences etc. are burned to the ground...The soldiers almost worship Gen. Rosecrans and have the greatest confidence in him but they equally hate the northern peace men...This army wants no peace until the rebels lay down their arms and give up...” Foxing and fold wear, otherwise VG.

He writes a friend named Josey, full of anger at the perceived incompetence of the war’s management: “I was in P[ort] Royal [SC]...to take a glass or two of wine with our worthy Rear Admiral (better known among us as ‘Old Dummy’),” undoubtedly referring to Adm. Samuel F. Du Pont, commander of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. He receives news “of the sinking of the ‘Hatteras’ by the ‘Alabama’ if the statement we get through rebel sources be true that he allowed the crew all but four to perish by drowning he deserves no quarter and is far from what I took him [Capt. Raphael Semmes] to be a brave man...I trust he may be taken and hung up like a dog...I thought him a gentleman and humane, perhaps the story we get may be highly colored.” Indeed the account was false, and most of the crew of the Hatteras was rescued and paroled. “It is a great pity we had not a few such craft in place of the miserable collection of floating Coffins our stupid Octogenarian of a Sec of Navy [Gideon Welles, who was only in his sixties] has been squandering the government funds on...Two exceptions of stupid leaders I can find...McLellan [George B. McClellan] they have superseded and Rosencrans [W.S. Rosecrans] who is getting too popular to be allowed to remain long in command...I think our President is an honest well meaning man but...he is a mere tool in the hands of thieves and Nigger worshippers...” With much, much more content, including news of escaped contrabands, the Navy’s waste of its ironclads, etc. Fold wear including small holes at some intersections, otherwise VG and a great, easy read.

Chancellorsville: Stoneman’s Raid Great content, grueling ALS, reportedly by Capt.

James Brisbin (later brigadier general) of the 6th US Regular Cavalry, 4 full pages, 4to, on blue paper, Bealton Station, VA, May 9, 1863. He writes to his wife that under Brig Gen William W. Averell and Brig Gen George Stoneman, 10,000 cavalry crossed the Rappahannock and went into camp; on the morning of April 30, at “nearly daylight...a furious fight took place between the 10th New Jersey Cavalry and the 5th US Cavalry. The 5th took the 10th for Rebles. But little harm was done for the 5th soon put the 10th to flight. The 1st also had a fight in the night but whiped the Rebles and rove them a mile in the dark. At daylight Genl Stoneman said the Rebles were in our rear and that we were cut off from the main army and that no communication could be had for 10 days with [Gen Joseph] Hooker...On the 3rd we...reached the Rapidan River - [Gen J.E.B.] Stuart had been there the night before and left and he would fight us. Stoneman drew up and waited 3 hours for him but no Stuart Came. We then moved up the River 6 miles and swam it...At day light on the 1st marched all day and crossed 3 very deep runs...On the 2d marched all day, plundered all the houses along the road...We cut the Rail Road and destroyed 7 miles of the track. We were now directly behind the Reble Army and could hear Hooker fighting in front. The 3d & 4th we spent in burning houses...[Gen Robert E] Lee whiped a portion of the 5th but when we came he run and we followed him 4 miles at a hard gallop. Stoll had a little fight...and brought in 35 mules 27 niggers and lots of tobaco and Candy...On the 5th we marched all night hard...the hardest night I ever spent. Men would fall off their horses asleep. Horses died every ten rods and as fast as they fell were knocked in their head with axes. The men were drove along on foot with naked sabers drawn over them and some fell down from fatigue. We had no wagons and left them laying by the road side. It was now life or death. Hooker had failed to whip the Rebles and we were cut off...It was almost impossible to drag our heavy Canon through the mud which was knee deep...After a little rest we pushed on and avoiding Stuart who was laying at the Rapidan...we crossed at 11 in the night and by 2 o’ck were all over...Early next day we were on our way...within 16 miles of the Rappanhanock. At dark we reached it but it was foaming and boiling and it was certain death to cross. Rebles were behind and the River in front. The Genl. hung his head - he said we...must fight where we were. The Reble Infantry were now within 2 miles of us and coming on...The 5 Cav and the 2 Cav with 3 squadrons of the 6th went back to engage the advancing enemy in the dark but strange to say he stoped. They evidently thought they had us safe and would take their time. At the first peep of day the 1st Cav plunged into the River and crossed. The men clung to the saddles and the horses swam. By 10 o’clk the Cavalry was all over, except the Pickets who were fighting with the enemy...The enemy only got a few of them. We now marched off quietly and...were safe...We did our share all except Averill who is under arrest. Genl. Hooker has failed but he will try it again in a day or two...” Soiling at folds, fold wear, but clear and very legible, VG. Capt. Brisbin would be brevetted brigadier general and would join the regular army after the war, becoming an Indian fighter; a lifelong opponent of slavery, he helped form regiments of black troops.

Gen. Hooker blamed Stoneman’s disastrous foray behind enemy lines for the Union defeat at Chancellorsville, and the cavalry commander was cashiered. (photo - page 42)

He writes to his sweetheart Nellie in North Yarmouth, ME, (and once to a girl named Rosa), explaining camp life: [3/21/1863] “One duty is like the other...We are at work now making gabions...They are made by taking small sticks about the size of a bow handle...We make a side 2 ft. in diameter and put 11 of those stakes at equal distances around the cirle. We then weave in small sticks...They are made to put around the port holes in the batteries.” [3/23] “We are the outside lines but I don’t believe there are any Rebs anywhere near here...Fairfax Court House village...smells looks and walks just like a hog yard...Col. Shaw is scared to death for fear the Rebs will come and make havoc of his beautiful body. He gives orders every night for us to have our guns and pill boxes where we can put our hands on them as he expects us to be turned out, but you don’t catch me lying awake for fear of Rebs...” [April 10] “Our tent is marvelous comfortable...It is 6 ft. wide and about 10 ft. long and 3 ft. high under the eves...The roof is made of the tents belonging to 4 of us...They are some afraid of Rebs tonight but we have built a bush fence to keep them out...” [April 19] “We received orders to take the field....Gen. Abercrombie...has assumed the command of the division...The old Chantilly mansion has burned down but once a splendid establishment....The man that now owns the homestead is a Brigade Quartermaster in the Rebel army so it is all right to burn up his house...The farms here don’t show so much the effects of war as they did near Washington...” Three letters with original envelopes, all VG. The 25th was called up for battle duty in June, but when it was realized that they were only a 9-month regiment and soon to be discharged, they were offered incentives to stay on. Almost none of them complied. [8]

After getting entirely through with our wounded some of us went to a church filled with Yankee wounded and as they had but one Surgeon and he a fool we took charge and operated on several of them. I scratched my hand slightly and though nothing of it. On Friday evening I took out the elbow joint of a little New Yorker...and his arm being very much swollen and in a very bad condition I suppose some of the blood got into my wound and sooon afterward I woke up with the most intense pain...My hand and arm were very much swollen...I was a little alarmed, too, as loss of limb and life are not uncommon results of such accidents...It is now so near well as to relieve me of all danger...Col. [Goode] Bryan was struck, the ball passing through the breast pocket of his coat where he had his spectacles, some letters, papers, etc. - going through them and his clothes but cutting through the skin - quite a painful wound - His breast was quite swollen and painful and he fears an abscess will form...I met several surgeons from across the river...We found that some of them were at college the same time we were. Some of them were pleasant gentlemen, some hogs. I never saw such perfect indifference to their men as they showed.

Chancellorsville: Union Soldier’s Letter Exquisitely detailed ALS by Hudson Jennings of the 137th NY Infantry, 6 pages, 8vo, “Acquia Landing,” VA, May 9, 1863. To his sister, he relates: “Last week Monday [April 27] we broke camp. Wednesday crossed the Rappahannock early in the morning & the Rapidan just after dark. Thursday we made a rapid march to the heights opposite United States ford...Here we remained until the next day after noon. Then we made a reconnaissance in force & discovered the enemy a mile or two in front of us. After a short skirmish we retired to our former position. Our reg’t was not engaged, but lay in a piece of woods into which the Rebs threw a few shells, which burst over our heads sending the fragments shrieking through the air, slivering the trees & tearing up the ground...That night we threw up an entrenchment. Our tools were bayonets, sharpened sticks for picks and our tin plates for shovels...Saturday there was a considerable skirmishing all along our lines...The position of our Reg’t was at or near the center. About an hour before sundown the engagement became general on the right and pretty sharp at our left...For an hour or so the fighting was done mostly with the musket but just after sundown the 11th Corps (which was at the left of the right wing) broke and then the whole line fell back, followed by the Rebs who were yelling like friends but their yells were soon drowned by the roar of the cannon and they were glad to retreat. A battery had managed to get at their left flank and...poured a storm of shot and shell into their ranks which they could not stand which I should think must have mowed them down by hundreds. They soon left the field...The next morning (Sunday) the fight was renewed and continued until about noon when our right wing changed its position and the enemy retired. The strength was great on both sides, but it is the opinion of most that THE REBS LOST 8 TO OUR ONE...You will probably learn the true result before I do, also the plan of Gen. Hooker and how far it was successful. Monday our corps (the 12th) then moved another position nearer to the river and during the night and next day threw up some strong entrenchments. Tuesday night we crossed the river returning to our old camp near Acquia Landing arriving here last night. I could not see a Reb within gunshot & did not wish to waste my fire. Three of our Reg’t are known to have been killed. Our major was severely wounded in the head by a piece of railroad iron, a Lieut, was slightly wounded and a few of the privates...Some 50 or more are missing. They were on picket and are suppose to have been taken prisoners...Don’t worry about me - God is taking care of me and will use me well. Pray for me, my comrades and our country...” Staining and foxing, soiling at folds, about VG. Those prayers were needed, for Jennings was wounded at the Battle of Wauhatchie in October 1863, dying a month later.

Gettysburg: Prisoner of War Broadside Exceptional 14.6” x 5.9” printed Broadside entitled “THE GETTYSBURG PRISONERS. / March from Gettysburg to Staunton, —-175 Miles. / Inhuman Treatment of Prisoners - Prisoners Robbed. / BELL ISLAND / Murders Committed by Rebel Guards. / Annapolis, MD, Sept. 28, 1863,” according to George Gantt of the 26th PA Volunteers, members of the III Corps. The broadside details the long march, usually without food, through Pennsylvania and Maryland to Staunton, Virginia, where they were transported by rail to Belle Isle in Richmond.

At Richmond, those who were to be paroled were separated to be exchanged at Annapolis. the account abounds with incidents of cruelty both petty and murderous. Bottom edge slightly irregular, with expert repair to fold splits on verso, traces of former tape repairs, agetoned, mounting traces in upper corners, with some apparent paper replacement at upper right, overall VG. Over 5,000 Union troops were captured or missing at Gettysburg, a battle in which both sides had roughly the same number of total casualties. Because Southern troops were on a raid in enemy territory, however, they were obliged to quit the field and make the long march back to relative safety. We have not seen another example of this broadside, which may be the only one to survive! (photo - page 42)

Vicksburg: Frank P. Blair American politician and soldier (1821-75); Union general during the Civil War; US Senator and US Representative from MO; scion of the powerful political family. Civil War content Autograph Letter Signed “Frank P. Blair” as Senator, 1-1/2 pages, 8vo, Washington, February 26, 1871. To George W. Reed in NYC. He explains that the forces he commanded around Vicksburg immediately after its capture “consisted of six Brigades, being the reserve Brigades of the 15th & 17th Army Corps. I believe there were an average of 1500 men to each Brigade. The purpose was to destroy the resources of the country so that no army could approach the rear & raise the siege of Vicksburg...” Fine. While serving under Grant at Vicksburg, and then under Sherman in Georgia, Blair was simultaneously a US Representative. (photo - page 42)

Boomer’s Brigade of the 7th Division, 1-1/3 pages, legal folio, outside Vicksburg, May 23, 1863. Writing of the previous day’s attack, Carr relates, “Col. Boomer formed his Brigade in two lines, placed himself in the centre, and marched them forward in the most gallant style. The enemy had been heavily reinforce, and the Brigade was met with a tremendous storm of bullets, but not a man flinched. They moved forward steadily...scrambled across the first ravine and were just formed to advance to the next when Boomer was struck down. Col. [Holden] Putnam was about to continue the advance when he learned that the last words of Boomer were not to attempt to charge those works...The enemy had had time to concentrate so strongly in front, that it was impossible to take his works...” Toned with edge and fold wear, about VG. Col. Boomer was the only brigade commander, and the highest-ranking Union officer, killed in the attack. After its failure, US Grant ordered his men to set into a siege. (photo - page 42)

Stanton, calling his attention to “papers inclosed herewith [not present] from Capt. E.J. Cook 95th Illinois Vol. Infantry, tendering his resignation? I know Captian Cook to be an honest man whose statements are entitled to full credence...” According to the docket on verso, the request included a certificate of disability. The letter was forwarded to the commanding general of the “Army in front of Vicksburg,” but apparently without success, for Captain Cook, serving under Gen. US Grant in Gen. James McPherson’s 17th Corps, was severely wounded in the charge on Vicksburg of May 22, 1863. The failure of that charge convinced Grant to settle in for a siege, and Vicksburg fell on Independence Day. (photo page 42)

Fort Wagner: Union Soldier’s Letters Group of 5 choice content ALS by James Himrod of the 48th NY Infantry, 3-1/2 to 12 pages, different sizes, various places, November 1861July 1863. In the first, written at Hilton Head, SC, he recounts his time in the army to that point, with excellent content on being mustered, traveling, and drilling; in October they board ship in Annapolis and are “stowed away like so many pigs...Our bunks were 5 feet 6 inches long by 4 feet 6 inches wide where were stowed 4 soldiers” with all their gear.

After pausing before Hampton Roads for a week, they leave in a convoy for South Carolina, but on November 1, “The hurricane commenced about 5 P.M...From 10 P.M. until 2 A.M. of the 2nd, I expected we would all go to the bottom...How terribly grand was the sight of the mountainous waves...About 1 o’clk...we seemed to rise very high and then a deep plunge. I thought it was our last...” Finally they arrived off Port Royal, SC, and on November 5, “a Battery on shore opened. The firing became quite brisk. The Battery was silenced, but an extensive fortification on the opposite shore was discovered.” On the 7th, a real battle took place, and “At first the firing was at intervals and wide of the mark. They soon got in range and then the shot fell thick & fast. It was a grand sight...the bursting of bomb shells as the Wabash poured them in Broadside after Broadside. The engagement lasted nearly six hours, and at 3:40 P.M. our flag was floating proudly in the State of South Carolina. The Rebels left in such haste that the Marines had the pleasure of eating their dinner...” They have been building fortifications since then. A year later, he writes from Ft. Pulaski, GA, about a Thanksgiving dinner, and includes a 4to printed Program for the “Grand Thanksgiving / FETE AND FESTIVAL” at the fort, listing such activities as a rowing match, foot-race, wheelbarrow race, greased pole, and greased pig, with his notes on who won! He doesn’t think much of the officers’ behavior around young ladies: “I should judge that many of them entertain no respect for the wives, mothers & sisters they have left at home...Our Country’s life is, as it were, in such hands...How demoralizing this War is...You misjudge me...when you say I am no friend of Genl [George B] McClellan. I think him a good General and a Patriot, though not enough of a go ahead. He is the best engineer...but for offensive operations, too slow...I think you will find that Genl [Ambrose E] Burnside is the man...” From Morris Island, SC “On the Field,” he writes in pencil on July 12, 1863, “Providence has carried me safely through one desperate conflict, but...my noble hearted Captain is no more. He was killed last Friday morning [July 10] while gallantly leading us on to the attack, on a Battery on this...Island...We done our duty well. My Company lost besides Capt. Lent, 2 privates killed, 1 Serg & 2 Corporals & 5 Privates wounded...The Rebels have heavy Batteries on the other end of it and fire at us every once in a while. You had better believe we had a hot time of it landing on this Island...We were crowded in small boats and the Rebels gave us any quantity of shells...Lt. Col. Green who was in command behaved nobly...We have more work to do this week. I am in hopes we shall have Sumpter before its close. Yet it will cost lives to get it. Our forces are planting heavy Batteries to help the Iron Clads reduce the other Rebel defenses...We found 60 dead Rebels. They did not expect us to be so bold...Capt. Lent was shot in the head and breast and died very quick. Our 2nd Lieut behaved with great coolness...6 sharpshooters were detailed to shoot Col Green and Capt Lent. They thought Capt was a General...” On the 21st, he adds, “Our forces have been repulsed in two separate attacks on ‘Battery Wagner.’ In the first, made on Tuesday...the 14th, my Regt. was not engaged. In the last, Saturday evening July 18th, the Regt. was engaged...and was almost cut to pieces. Our Col. was badly wounded, Lt. Col Green killed. Out of 17 Officers...only 3 came out unhurt...The total regimental loss...is 260...The 1st Sergeant who was slightly wounded and myself have command of the company...Fully one half of our loss was caused by our own Forces who supported us...The 100th NY & 62 Ohio fired 3 volleys into our Regt. So much for night storming attacks...Our famous Iron Navy are no help...Our Brig Genl [George C] (Strong) is wounded as is also Brig Genl [Truman] Seymour...”

Strong would later die of his wounds. Finally, he writes in December from Hilton Head about the “glorious news,” probably the important Union victories at Chattanooga, and has “hopes that this Rebellion will be brought to a close soon...” He says that he’ll spend his next Thanksgiving at home - and he would, being discharged in October 1864.

All letters with typed transcripts. Overall in VG condition, and with more good content than we could relate here. The assault on Fort Wager, a crushing Union defeat in which they suffered nearly ten times the casualties of the enemy, is usually remembered for the charge of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, a regiment of black troops that led the attack.

Union Soldier’s Letter: Ninth Illinois Great content ALS by Cpl F.M. Swyer of the 9th Illinois Infantry, 4 full pages, 4to, Pocahontas, TN, August 8, 1863. He writes a friend back in Selinsgrove, PA that “we have been almost constantly in the saddle out on scouting expeditions and making raids - the past month (July) we marched 637 miles...and had some 8 or ten skirmishes with the Rebs and Gurrilla bands...in all of which we punished the enemy badly and permanently as evinced by the heaps of dead Rebs left on the field. Our entire losses in all of the engagements alluded to...3 killed and 23 wounded and missing...In both these engagements we were contending with a Rebel Brigade...and their number could not have been less than ten times that of our regiment...In one of the fights...we...fought the 9th Tenn Rebel Cavalry, Forrests Regiment of Cavalry and Newshams [John F. Newsom] Cavalry - and actually charged them in their breastworks driving them out and taking 175 or 200 prisoners besides 400 conscripts that we let go on parole...Since January our regiment have been mounted (on mules) and at present are acting as cavalry at this post...This is one of the Old Veteran Regts and took prominent part in the Battles of Ft. Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Corinth...;and rank with the ‘A’ No 1 fighting regiments...We are known familiarly with most western troops either as the ‘Bloody Ninth’ ‘fighting ninth’ and lately since we have been mounted on mules - as the ‘JACKASS BRIGADE’...No Rebel Brigade we have yet met in the field has been able to nor ever will whip the Bloody Ninth. We have got so accustomed to the Music of Balls and the Shriek of shells that we rather like it...The Army of the Potomac is virtually asleep.

Vide the chance that they had to annihilate Lee and at last let him get across the potomac...Do you imagine our Western army would permit such conduct...No doubt the privates of that Army are as brave as any...but they have not yet got far enough from Washington and they have not a Grant, Sherman, [John A] Logan, [James B] McPherson nor even a [Nathaniel P] Banks...” Beautifully written in dark ink, in VG/F condition. The 9th Illinois would continue to win in the West, fighting in the campaigns for Vicksburg and Atlanta, and in the March to the Sea. An excellent expression of the differences in attitude between the armies in the Western and Eastern Theaters. (photo - page 46)

Rappahannock Station: Union Cavalryman’s Letter Choice detailed content ALS by Lt. Jerome Wheeler of the 6th NY Cavalry, 8 pages, 8vo, “Near Brandy Station, Va,” November 15, 1863. To his friend Aggie in Waterford, NY, he pens, “Our command is back in nearly the same place that it was six weeks ago...The country is so situated here that either side can make a flank movement...The side that is flanked must fall back...Centerville was our stronghold and the question was who were to reach it first, We or the Rebs...Away we went up hills, through valleys, over ditch’s through mud...We traveled two nights in succession without sleep...We had no lanterns & were obliged to use candles. And what a looking object I was, when we arrived at Fairfax Station. My face all besplattered with mud...My overcoat speckled with tallow from candles...which was covered by my falling asleep from exhaustion, while riding...General [George G.] Meade had halted, changed front and was awaiting anxiously for the enemy...We were obliged to look them up...We followed them to Warrenton, but...the Rebels had destroyed the Orange and Alexandria RR from Bristow Station to the Rappahanock...On Saturday [November 7] the army commenced to move towards the river and engaged the enemy about 4 o’clock P.M. The enemy had two Brigades of Infantry on the north side of the river and seven pieces of artillery...The remainder of their army was on the south side of the river. Neither party gained any advantage until dusk. There occurred one of the most brilliant feats of the war, our forces [the 6th Maine Infantry] charged over their last works and down to the river and took possession of their pontoon bridge, there by cutting them off entirely from their main body. Hardly a man escaped...The infantry immediately crossed the river and took possession of the works on the opposite bank...The railroad will be connected tomorrow...I expect we will have some severe fighting here. The enemy are on the South side of the Rapid Ann [sic, Rapidan] River, entrenched, waiting for us to attack.” He later relates that “my intelligent contraband” has brought him a kitten! Folds, with some very minor internal splits, VG and extremely clearly written on creamy paper.

With original envelope. Gen Meade and Robert E. Lee had been maneuvering and sparring for weeks after the Confederate retreat from Gettysburg. The Battle of Rappahannock Station was small but decisive: nearly 80 percent of Southern troops involved were captured or killed, and Lee was obliged to withdraw behind the Rapidan.

Spotsylvania: Officer’s Letter Graphic content ALS in pencil by Capt. Benjamin W. Richards, aide-de-camp of Gen. James B. Ricketts, 3 pages and 2 lines, “Near Spottsylvania Court House,” May 11, 1864. He writes to his brother about the continuing Overland Campaign: “This is the seventh day of fighting and most severe has it been, the greater portion of it in very thick woods and of course usually at very close quarters.

The losses on both sides have been very severe. Our loss in General officers has been very large indeed. I have heard of eleven already. Genl. Sedgewick [John L. Sedgwick] who commanded the Corps, was killed. Genl. [William M.] Morris of our [Third] Division was wounded. Genl. [Truman] Seymour of this Division taken prisoner. So far Genl. Ricketts and his staff have escaped although we have had narrow escapes. A shell exploded in the midst of us killing three of our horses (mine among the number) & taking off the foot of one of Genl. [Simon G.] Griffin’s Aids, who happened to be with us. So far we have been successful I think...It is impossible to tell the amount of our loss but it is estimated at 20 or 25 thousand men. Many of the dead & wounded have been left on the fields & in the thick woods unattended to. We were unable to send those of the wounded back to Washington until yestterday...It was horrible to see men washout legs & arms drawn in army waggons day after day suffering from heat & want of rest, proper food & attention. This is the most horrible country to fight in I ever saw. In many places the men do not see each other until they get up within a few yards...” Some very light spotting, but VG with very clear and dark writing. The Overland Campaign, including the bloody Battles of the Wilderness and of Spotsylvania Court House, gave clear expression of General US Grant’s strategy: despite heavy and lopsided losses, he would not cease to pursue Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia until he had bottled them up in Petersburg and Richmond. The strategy succeeded, but not without earning him a reputation as a “butcher” of men. (photo - page 46)

New Market: Cavalry Letter Choice ALS by Col. Robert F. Taylor, commander of the 1st NY Veteran Cavalry, 1-1/2 pages, 4to, “Camp Near Strasburg Va,” May 17, 1864. Writing to his wife during the Valley Campaign, he tells of the Battle of New Market on May 15: “We were whiped before we commenced fighting. My cavalry behaved gallantly.

Capt. [John J.] Carter had two horses shot under him in making a charge. One horse, a shell passed through his neck and exploded pieces of it striking him in the face.

The concussion so completly paralized him that for several hours he was unconsious & unable to speak. He is much better and around now. In one charge I lost 14 men and a great number of horses. Twice we charged their unbroken infantry lines and drove them but they greatly out numbered us and compeled us to retire leaving our dead and many of our wounded on the field. The enemy evidently were attracted to some other point for they gave up the chase before night...” Fold wear, toning, VG. With much background material. The Battle of New Market is especially notable for the involvement of cadets from the Virginia Military Institute, who fought alongside regular Confederate forces under John C. Breckenridge and drove Union troops under Franz Sigel out of the Shenandoah Valley. The defeat contributed to the removal of Sigel, a patriotic but incompetent political general, from active command that summer. Civil War letters from colonels, especially in the cavalry, are scarce.

He writes to his family, “The whole of Sunday [May 15] was enjoyed in comparative repose...Night came on and I lay down to rest beneath a roof of evergreens. Boath army lay quietly all night...a calm which was harbinger of a comming Storm. About four o’clock on monday morning God sent a dense fogg upon the earth. Under cover of this the enemy massed outside their breastwork direct in our front and but a few rods away. The same night a pontoon bridge was thrown across the James River below Fort Darling, and a large force was landed in rear of our right. As early as six A.M. a Semblence of a battle was mad on our extreme left when in fact the real attack was on our right...General [Benjamin F.] Butler diminished the strength of our center to reinforce the right. The enemy...threw a strong column on our center. Then commenced the severest battle in which it has been my lot to engage. Charge after charge was made on our right left and center, and each as often as repeated repulsed.

We were compeled to reserve our fire until the rebel hosts were within a single rod of our line of battle. The slaughter of human beings was appalling in the extreme. For five hours the sacrafice of men continued with no abatement of severity. At eleven o’clock, the fogg lifted, and we could then see how and where to strike. But at this hour our right flank had been broken and the eighteenth Corps was already falling back. the 10th Corps still held their ground...But an order came for us to fall back to our entrenchments some six miles away, which we did in fine order...and taking with us all our wounded except those who fell in the trenches or on the firld when the attack was first made. With all the advantages the rebs had scured their success was small...Our object was not to go to Richmond, but capture Fort Darling so that our gun boats can pass up to the city...Unless Grant gets the Rebel capital soon we shall go again to the front...” Fold wear, soiling, VG. General Butler’s failure at Drewry’s Bluff signaled the hopelessness of his Bermuda Hundred Campaign, and he was reassigned to a supporting role in front of Petersburg. Sgt. Albert Sharp was killed a few months later at the Battle of Deep Bottom Run. (photo - page 46)

Atlanta: Peachtree Creek Exceptional content ALS by Peter A. Sinclair of the 101st Illinois, 8 pages, 8vo, “Near Atlanta,” August 6, 1864. He writes to Howard Aitken in Minnesota: “Our present position is within 1-1/2 miles of the DOOMED CITY, where we have been hammering away for the last to weeks. We have strong earthworks to couver us within some 500 yards of the enemy’s. The skirmishers and Sharp Shooters from both sides are between. They keep up an incessant fire so that it is unsafe to show a head above the works...You have read ere this of our fight of the 20th. Our corps crossed Peachtree creek early in the morning and lay in an open field all day waiting orders to move upon the enemy’s works, which it was reported, were only a short distance in the woods in front of us. Generals [George H.] Thomas and [Joseph] Hooker with some half dozen or more Brigadiers were in consultation for several hours...Thomas had little to say but kept pacing to and fro...’Old Joe’...it seemed...wanted to storm the rebel works...He had sent...orders for [John H.] Geary to advance with his division (the 2nd) upon the left. They had moved some distance into the woods when firing suddenly commenced some two miles to our left rapidly coming nearer...Our whole division were upon their feet in an instant. Then commenced such a rattle as you never heard...The firing was almost in our immediate front, and it was the most terrific firing I had ever heard...Just as we reached the top of the hill and were entering the woods we met rebel bullets...All seemed to me to be in one grand mass of confusion...as our long line emerged from it and went marching steadily on to meet the foe who could be plainly seen coming up the hill from the other side. Pouring volley after volley into our ranks. I could compare it to nothing else than to one vast machine which in a moment had been crushed to pieces, then as if by magic each piece had adjusted itself...and all went working smoothly...Were it possible to make our men run...they would have done so here, but no!...With the creek at our rear, retreat was impossible...I believe they will now give up trying to charge our lines for they have never met with anything but disaster by it...The sun was just sinking behind the hills in the distance when the firing gradually began to slacken..” Age-toned, otherwise VG indeed. At Peachtree Creek, John Bell Hood hoped to break the Union line and force WT Sherman to divert troops attacking Atlanta to support Thomas. However, Hood and his subordinates failed to take full advantage of Thomas’s vulnerability. The Union victory made the capture of Atlanta inevitable, and the city surrendered on September 2.

Chambersburg Raid: Union Cavalryman’s Letter Great content ALS in pencil by Edgar Peirce of the 14th PA Cavalry, 4 pages, 8vo, in “Camp 7 miles from Hagerstown, Md,” August 24, 1864. He tells his brother that “We have been up the Shenandoah Valley across the Blue Ridge Mountains to Lynchburg [VA] and back through the Kanahawa Valley to Martinsburg, [WV], then up the valley again as far as Winchester [VA]. We passed through Chambersburg [PA] while it was still burning, and followed the perpetrators of the outrage and finally overtook them at Moorfield, Va. where we settled accounts with them. The affair was the nicest thing that has occurred this summer. They had a force large enough to have whipped us if we had not come in upon them before breakfast. They numbered about 3000 and our force was just 1300 with our worn out horses and men being left behind as they tired out. It was sport to see the bewildered looks on the poor devils when we woke them up. ‘I wasn’t at Chambersburg’ was the cry of each and all of them. As fast as we overtook them, their plunder was scattered along the road for miles. Some of the boys made a good thing of it too. I did not think of the plunder until after the flight, and by then it was all picked up. Our regiment led the advance with our company forming part of the advance guard. We picked up letter written the day before telling their friends of their summer’s work, that they had gotten back safely to Moorfield, and would home with their families in a few days with new dresses and so forth. Poor things, t’will be a long time before they see their friends or dresses either. We had a freight train of 21 cars all loaded with the wretches. They had stolen everything that you would ever find in a country store and they had silks, calico, ribbons, needles, thread, pins, fish hooks, baby shoes, lace, window curtains and even hoop skirts. They did not carry much beyond Moorfield though. We could have taken half of them prisoner if we had men enough to guard them...My horse was wonded in the side, the ball just clearing my leg. However, my little horse is almost well now, and we have been scouting for a few days at this place and expect soon to be on the move again...” Pinhole in margin of first page, soiling at folds, VG. In response to Union depredations in the Shenandoah Valley, Confederate Gen John McCausland raided the Pennsylvania town of Chambersburg, burning part of it to the ground. When Union cavalry including Peirce came upon the raiders at Moorfield, they attacked with the battle cry, “Chambersburg!” (photo - page 46)

American soldier and politician (1818-93); began as an engineer in the US Army, serving with distinction in the Mexican War; became the first Confederate brigadier general in March 1861; commanded forces at Charleston, ordering the bombardment of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, initiating the Civil War; helped design the Confederate Battle Flag that has come to be a symbol of the South; his record as a field commander was mixed, and his poor relationship with Jefferson Davis and with his colleagues kept him from maintaining prominence in the Confederate Army. Amazing date carte-devisite Photograph Signed on verso “Charleston So. Ca. / April 13th 1861 / G.T. Beauregard / Genl. CSA,” a thigh-length image of the general in uniform with his arms crossed, by Quinby & Co of Charleston, as identified in print on verso. Image is somewhat faded, with top right corner clipped, usual toning and soiling, but overall VG, with the signature in particular extremely sharp and fine. On April 13, 1861, after over 32 hours of shelling, Ft. Sumter’s flag was knocked down by a cannonball. Soon after, negotiations began with Major Robert Anderson, the fort’s commander, for its surrender. Anderson’s men had withstood over 3,000 rounds of Confederate fire without a single fatality, but fires were burning out of control and food and other supplies were dwindling. Not until the following day was the fort formally surrendered, and during Sumter’s 100-gun evacuation salute, a Union soldier was killed by a misfiring gun - the first casualty of the war. General Beauregard signed this photograph at the time of his greatest victory, the moment that would earn him an immortal place in American history! (photo)

[Benjamin, Judah P.] Nicola Marschall German-born American painter (1829-1917); helped design the “Stars and Bars” first national CSA flag; credited with designing the gray CSA uniform; known as the “Artist of the Confederacy.” Unique original Oil Painting Signed and dated in paint “N. Marschall 1861” at bottom, entitled Life Portrait of Judah P. Benjamin. A vignetted 29” x 25” portrait of the Confederate Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Secretary of War. Held in an ornate period gilt wood frame, 34.5” x 30.5” overall size. Restored. Marschall is thought to have painted portraits of the entire Confederate cabinet, and other works of his are at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond.

This is believed to be the last of his cabinet portraits in private hands. In addition to holding three posts in the Confederate cabinet, Benjamin was the first Jewish American to hold such a high-level position in North America, and had been the first to be formally offered a seat on the US Supreme Court (which he declined twice). Rumored to have ordered the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, he fled the country at the end of the war, and enjoyed a very successful second career as a lawyer in England. A highly important and visually grand work of art from the Confederate States of America! (photo) Est. 20,000-30,000

Blockade Runners: CM Furman Great content ALS by Furman, president of the Bank of South Carolina, 2 pages, Wilmington, NC, March 7, 1864. He explains to Governor Bonham of SC: “The Secretary of War [James Seddon] has taken the same position that he did on occasion of the former voyage of the Alice. The cotton marked for the State of So. Ca. will go on Board, but the owners of the Boat will make the arrangements with the Agent of the Navy Department that if a contrary arrangement is not concluded at Richmond, the cotton will be considered as on account of the Gov. I think that I will be of no advantage to use to lose the voyage and to occasion the Company to lose it as it would materially interfere with arrangements...The Boat of the Virginia Company has never been interfered with by either the Navy or War Departments.

The No. Ca. boats have not been interfered with as yet but orders have been recd. to claim the right to sell by the No. Ca. boats...But in the Virginia Boat is only chartered by the State...I have no doubt that she is now on joint account between the States and the Stock holders. I shall endeavor to ascertain upon what precise footing the Boat Stands, and it will be there for us to consider the propriety of taking the same position...The three Boats, The Alice, The Hansa, & the City of Petersburg are now here. The Navy Depart. Claim on the two former but so far as I can obtain authoritive information, no claim is made on the latter...It may be attempted to be said in excuse that the Gov. has not sufficient cotton here to load her but when I enquire whether if one of the Bee boats shd. Come in and Gov. has no cotton if she can be filled by other parties I am informed that the orders of the Gov. are that no boat is to be allowed to go without Cotton for Gov....& that resort must be had to impressments. I shall proceed this evening to Richmond to lay this whole matter before the President...I have received a telegram from Maj. Bayne to effect that henceforth the Gov. will claim one half of all outgoing cargoes on private vessels. This may breakup this trade, unless the rate of freight are greatly increased...” Minor wear, otherwise VG. (photo - page 46)

Blockade Runners: Charles T. Mitchell Great content ALS by Mitchell, a merchant, 11/5 pages, 4to, Wilmington, NC, April 4, 1864. He writes Governor M.L. Bonham of South Carolina about blockade running: “I have this forenoon received a letter from Mr. Charles Hammond of Hamburg [now Glenville, NC] enclosing me Rail Road receipts for 87 Bshls Cotton which he has shipped by your order to W. C. Bee & Co. Please inform me what disposition I am to make of them...Compressed Cotton has been offered today at $1.25 per pound ‘New currency’ without finding a purchaser. There is little or no disposition to purchase just now because of the paucity of ships in harbor. I hope that [president of the Bank of SC] Mr. Furman & you have acceded to our propositions about our steamers, for our soldiers will starve for want of meat & clothes soon. Genl. [H.C.] Whiting told me...he had not had fresh meat upon his table for 40 DAYS and I see with intense scorn that the ‘Minnies’ cargo (just in service four days since) from Bermuda consisting of 170 boxes bacon has to be kept here as it is filled with worms & unfit for use and her Captain says there are hundreds of tons of stores waiting shipment in Bermuda. I fear the success of our cause...If the runner's lines had their Steamers running I would try and get them to take out each trip for you which would make you piles of money. I write this for your own eye only." Edge and fold wear, toned, VG. As this letter clearly shows, the Union blockade was all too effective in choking off supplies for the Confederate Army.

He writes to Gen Lafayette McLaws, commander of the District of Georgia, that “The Department at Richmond has expressed the earnest wish to encourage Blockade Running in every quarter as a means of obtaining Supplies for our armies, and has suggested Savannah, through Warsaw Inlet, as a practicable port. Capt. Peck the bearer of this, goes to investigate the feasibility of the suggestion and Lieut Genl Hardee begs that you will afford him all facilities...” Docketed on lower third of second page. Age-toned, with some fold wear, but boldly written and VG. It was too late to establish a new blockade-running route near Savannah. Just days after this letter, WT Sherman’s troops were making their way across eastern Georgia and bearing down on the city, which McLaws and Hardee would be unable to defend. By Christmas, Savannah was in Union hands. (photo - page 46)

Blockade Runners: South Carolina Interesting content ALS “Thos. L. Bayne Lt. Col. / In Charge of Cotton & foreign supplies” for the Confederate government, 1-1/2 pages, 4to, Richmond, May 27, 1864. He writes to Commissioner CM Furman of Charleston, SC, informing him that Jefferson Davis, on the advice of his cabinet, had decided that restitution would be made to South Carolina “by the allowance of freight on Govmt. Vessels as recommended...The recommendation referred to is that the State may now be permitted to send out on Government Vessels the same quantity of cotton, and at the same rate of freight, which it would have shipped under the original permit...that is to say, 1/3 cargo of Steamers ‘Alice & Fannie’ for one trip each. There is no Vessel owned exclusively by the Govmt. now running into Wilmington [NC],” so the government will give South Carolina one third of the one half of those ships’ capacity that it has appropriated. This is Bayne’s retained copy, and thus the endorsement of Secretary of the Treasury Memminger is in a secretarial hand. Age-toned, with minor fold wear, otherwise VG.

Chase, Salmon P. American statesman (1808-73); Secretary of the Treasury under Abraham Lincoln; a persistent intriguer and presidential hopeful, he resigned in 1864; soon afterward named by Lincoln as Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. Intriguing content Autograph Letter Signed “S.P. Chase” as Chief Justice, 1 page, 8vo, Washington, October 15, 1866. He writes to Chester [Rice?] in Troy, NY, “In the absence of Gov. Sprague [Chase’s son-in-law, William Sprague, former Governor of Rhode Island, now a US Senator] now in Europe with Mrs. [Kate Chase] Sprague, I can do nothing in relation to the foul and false paragraph which you enclose beyond causing copies of the newspaper in which it originated and of newspapers which have copied it, and that other equally false & hardly less foul paragraph to which it is an addendum, to be collected in order to be submitted to him on his return.

Iconic First Confederate Flag

105 105

CSA First National Flag Rare hand-sewn cotton presentation war-date First National Flag, 40.75” x 71.5”, created ca. November 1861. Blue canton with 12 white stars, eleven 4.25” arranged in three groups of three and one of two, and a central 7” star, all in a “Southern cross” pattern. Two red and one white bar, with “VICTORY OR DEATH” appliqued to obverse only in white bar. Scalloped right edge. Leading edge bound with red and blue cotton, with three thread-bound eyelets at top, middle and bottom. Several small tears at edges and interior, some with old repairs; with large horizontal fractures in top bar, and staining to white elements. The number of stars suggests that this flag was created after pro-secession members of the Missouri legislature voted to secede (but without a quorum) on October 31, 1861, but before Kentucky’s secessionist faction was recognized as a seceded state on December 10. This flag was probably created for a North Carolina unit, as that state’s flags most often include the motto “Victory or Death.” The damage to it does not appear to be caused by battle, leaving it undetermined whether this was used on the field.

Dahlgren, John A American naval officer and inventor (1809-70); known as the father of modern naval ordnance, he developed naval howitzers and shell guns suited for long-range fire; commanded the Washington Navy Yard early in the Civil War; later led the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Good personal and war content Autograph Letter Signed “Most Affectionately / Your Brother,” 2 pages on separate sheets, “Off Morris Is.,” August 10, [1863]. He writes his sister Patty, “Our worst enemy here is the climate. Officers and men break down daily and have to be sent away...Charley ought not to come before Octr. The work will be tedious and done step by step. The Confds are now plainly preparing the second step for us - as if they admitted the fall of Sumter. In a few days we resume, and the cannonade will exceed any previous. I have a Regiment of Marines and also a Battery in the trenches manned by Sailors. Afloat we shall be in full fig. Tell Ully [his son, Ulric Dahlgren] he will yet be in time to enter Charleston with his Regiment - But must not be in a hurry to get well. A Colonel at 21 will be a phenomenon. Com A of the Marines (McCawly’s) are six-footers, regular Grenadiers...Give my love to the Colonel and tell him Newport will make all right.”

Minor closed tear at fold of second page, otherwise VG. Ulric Dahlgren had lost his foot in a daring raid on July 6; he was subsequently named a colonel, skipping over the rank of major. He would be killed in March 1864 while on another infamous raid with the dual aims of releasing prisoners of war in Richmond and assassinating Jefferson Davis! The latter order was convincingly disavowed by the Union high command, but not so convincingly

by Col Dahlgren’s chief, Gen Judson Kilpatrick, who had sent him on the raid. Admiral Dahlgren’s other comments concern the ongoing assault on Charleston, which had climaxed in a disastrous assault on Fort Wagner in July. The city was never captured from the sea. (photo - page 58)

Outstanding War-Date Robert E. Lee Letter Accompanied by Matching R. E. Lee Endorsed Free Frank Cover 125

Lee, Robert E. American general (1807-70); his remarkable success leading Confederate troops in the US Civil War made him a legend in his own day; known even before the war as the model of the perfect soldier, he was offered the highest field command by both sides at the start of hostilities. Outstanding war-date Autograph Letter Signed “R.E. Lee,” 1/2 page, 4to, on blue paper, Petersburg, November 8, 1864. He writes Mrs. Mary R. Fairfax in Richmond in response to her letter on a promotion for her son, “I...am very sorry for the unpleasant situation of my young friend Ethelbert. I hope something may be done to relieve him. I have written to ascertain what action was taken on his recommendation for promotion in the Signal Corps. That seems to offer the speediest plan of amelioration, & at present I see no other. Please present my kind regard to the Dr. & your daughters.” Folds, toning, small pieces of silk on verso to reinforce folds, sharp and VG. The Fairfaxes’ son Randolph had been killed at Fredericksburg in December 1862, and on that occasion, General Lee had written a moving letter of condolence. Lee had always taken great care to avoid interfering in the careers of even his closest friends, on the principle that merit alone should dictate military promotions - something that gave the Confederacy an early advantage against Union armies studded with incompetent political appointments. Here we see that principle in action, as Lee promises only to see what action was taken, avoiding any suggestion that he will intervene on Ethelbert Fairfax’s behalf.

Fairfax had begun in the heavy artillery before being transferred to the Signal Corps.

Though it was not a combat assignment, serving in the Signal Corps was extremely dangerous, as much of its work was done close to enemy forces, and sometimes even behind their lines. Disrupting enemy communications was a high priority for both sides. Indeed, despite his mother’s pleas, Ethelbert would be shot in the lung in 1865, but he would survive the war, dying in 1907. Accompanied by its highly desirable Autograph Postal Cover Franked “R.E. Lee / Genl.” in upper right corner. Lee addresses his letter to “Mrs. Fairfax / Care of Dr. Orlando Fairfax / Richmond / Virginia.” With Confederate tencent stamp at right, with light circular Petersburg postmark. Toned but VF. General Lee did not have a franking privilege in the Confederate Army, but he continued the practice from his time in the US Army, adding the appropriate postage. Only 15 of these field-endorsed letters that traveled through the Confederate postal system are known to exist, making this an exceptional rarity! ex-Poriss [2] (photo) Est. 20,000-30,000

[Mosby, John S.] Confederate partisan leader (1833-1916); served under JEB Stuart, personally devising the famous “Ride around McClellan;” given his own command of guerrillas, he ranged northern Virginia, raiding Union supplies and detachments; famously captured Union Gen. EH Stoughton in bed in 1863; in 1864, after some of his captured men were hanged, executed Union prisoners in retaliation; known as the Gray Ghost for his sudden attacks and elusiveness; after the war, became a Republican. Choice Soldier’s Letter by Lt. William W. Parker of the 2nd MA Cavalry, 4 full pages, 4to, Falls Church, VA, June 27, 1864. He writes a friend back in Boston that he is serving in a court martial far from the action, but “Mosby is outside with two or three hundred men & one 12 pounder. The other day he gobbled a party of 40 men of the 16th N. York. They had passed a house a few minutes before near Centreville & were stopping to feed. Mosby came on their heels...He struck them as the horses were unbridled & every man had an armful of hay...The Lieut ought to be disgraced for his carelessness. Still the men of the 16th won’t fight. Mosby has a great advantage. If he is hard put his men scatter...We can’t play that game...We had a very interesting raid a couple of weeks ago.

We went with a number of ambulances to the Wilderness to bring off the wounded...We reached Chancellorsville...Everywhere the road was strewn with old knapsacks & all sorts of soldiers gear...Evidences of the fight began to thicken here & there a shell, a skull from the fight of a year ago, plenty of dead horses, some of them furnished shoes for our live ones. Then we came to the battle ground...The Rebs had it fearfully their own way...They drew lines of rifle pits & as they were driven from one would retreat to the next...The Rebs & the Yanks lay side by side as they fell. The sun has dried the bodies. Death is not attractive...We brought off 40 odd wounded but it was just our luck to be too late. The Rebs had been there two or three days before. Had we happened to hit them we would have bagged 75 ambulances...” He goes on to relate the famous story of French Delaney, one of Mosby’s raiders, who was the son of a Union colonel.

Autograph Letter Signed “Ely S. Parker,” 3 full pages, 8vo, New York, August 16, 1889. He writes to his colleague, Gen. John C. Smith, lieutenant governor of Illinois and prominent Freemason, who has invited him to “be the guest of the M.W. Grand Lodge of Illinois of F. and A.M...I have labored increasingly all this summer to bring about such a turn in my affairs as would enable me finally to send you the message ‘Yes, I will come.’ My trouble of course is principally financial...At times I am very much discouaged at the perverseness of my fortunes...I am, and for some time past have been, a non-affiliated mason for non-payment of dues...Please do not humiliate me by again renewing the invitation. No one here knows of my troubles, and I have told it to you now in strict masonic confidence...I shall get through it in time....When I am myself once more, I shall be most happy to come out to see you.” With original envelope.

[James Lawrence] Orr has succeeded in raising a full rifle regt. and prepares to be received into the Confederate army ‘FOR THE WAR.’ There is no portion of the Southern States from which a finer race of men could be selected...and I am satisfied they will do efficient service. I most cheerfully give my consent to their going immediately into Confederate Service because they come principally from the mountain districts of the state where they can be safely spared and also because of the high reputation of their distinguished Colonel...I would arm them with great pleasure if I had the arms. But having armed & equipped several full regts. now in Va., and being compelled to keep three full regts. in & about Charleston fully armed, and having also recently ordered into encampment two new regts...for exclusive state service & at state charge...I find it impossible to supply any more. For the arms taken in the late US Arsenal, I sent 6,000 to Florida 2000 to Memphis, Tenn. - 1000 to Lynchburg, Va. This has completely exhausted the supply...” Several original ink blots, otherwise VG. Col. Orr, though having joined up “for the war” rather than for a specific period of service, would resign his commission in 1862 to enter the CSA Senate. As president of a country formed to defend states’ rights, Jefferson Davis received requests and demands from governors regarding their local troops that frequently placed state interests above those of the Confederacy.

Union Sword: M1840 Cavalry Saber Choice condition Model 1840 Cavalry Saber, with wire-wrapped leather grip and brass guard. Manufacturer’s stamp “R & C” on flat back edge of sword near hilt, for German sword maker Rohrig & Co of Solingen; no inspection stamps found. With original scabbard. Scabbard mottled but with only traces of rust; blade remarkably clean, with the tiniest nicks and no pitting; small scrape along edge of guard. Some usual looseness of wire on grip, with flaking of some leather, but an outstanding example. Many of these swords were imported, especially early in the war, when domestic manufacturers could not meet demand. Appropriately, Solingen is famous for its swordsmiths, and is known as the “City of Blades.” (photo)

US Colored Troops: William Royal Archive A choice archive of 5 letters, 36 documents, and 6 collateral items concerning Capt. William Royal of the 9th US Colored Infantry, beginning in 1863 and running through the regiment’s service occupying Richmond upon its evacuation in early April 1865 and on the Mexican border under General Sheridan after the war. Royal’s troops were among the first to march into Richmond on April 3 as the Union took possession of the abandoned Confederate capital. Present are two Autograph Documents, lists of supplies used or lost in the public service “in the field” March 31, 1865, and then in Richmond on April 10. Most of the present documents concern returns of equippage for Company F of the 9th Colored Infantry, but also include important personal papers, such as Royal’s Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Albany, and his 1893 marriage license. Perhaps most interesting are the letters Royal received during the last month of the Civil War. One from a friend back in New York on April 4, 1865 informs him that “the news reached us here yesterday that Petersburgh was Evacuated, and Richmond taken by our Armies. If this is confirmed and we think it will be and The Rebellion will soon collapse. It is a time of general rejoicing. All the Flags that have the stars and stripes were unfurled to the breeze yesterday and every body seemed happy...The world does move, and the COPPERS [i.e., Copperheads, Northerners who were against the war] give signs of believing it...” On the 12th, after Lee’s surrender, a woman writes from Canandaigua, NY: “What glorious news we have from the War Department, now. Monday was celebrated...by every imaginable kind of noise...One would have thought that ‘The year of Jubilee’ had come.” After the 15th, another friend writes, “We were all rejoicing and feeling so happy over our victories when we heard the awful news of the assination [sic] of our much beloved President. to think he should be so fouly murdered it made me sick to think of it. Did you see him when he was in Richmond well he did see the promised land before he died.” On the 28th, his sister writes, “Yesterday we had the news of the capture of Booth. Wesley Carlough went to Buffalo Yesterday to see our lamented President” as his body made the long journey from Washington to Springfield. After noting that “Johnson the Colored lawyer gives a lecture tonight in Canandaigua,” she asks, “How do your boys feel about the President’s death?” A fifth letter tells of a Union survivor of a prisoner-of-war camp whose health has been shattered by his confinement. All items are in at least VG condition. [47] (photo - page 92)

“Washington is One Vast Hospital Now” 163

US Treasury: J. Milton McGrew Archive Sixth Auditor of the US Treasury (1830-95); the only man to rise from a clerkship to Chief of Bureau; among the earliest leaders of the Republican Party in Ohio and a staunch Lincoln supporter after his nomination over Ohioan Salmon P. Chase. Choice collection of 12 ALS, Washington (10, 4 on official imprinted stationery), and various other places, 1856-84, 9 of them war-date, with two letters he has received. All are to his wife Armilda, expressing an abiding love, but these lengthy letters include much Civil War and political content. On Sept. 21, 1862, he writes that Confederate threats against Cincinnati are hollow. He has been recording changes in postal appointments. “Washington is one vast hospital now. Nearly every church in the city has been fitted up for hospitals by laying a plank floor over the tops of the pews...”

Though he likes his accommodations, his boarding hostess Mrs. Crookes “is strongly SECESSION, and I won’t encourage a SHE-traitor any more than a male one.” He has visited the Philadelphia naval yard, “and saw our new iron-clad ships, the great IronSides among the number. I also went on board the British Steam War vessel, the Bermuda, which our fleet captured attempting to run the blockade with cannon and munitions of War for the Rebels...I went down in the hold and saw the six tremendous cannon which were intended for Rebel use...The Iron-Sides is plated with iron four inches and looks as though she could withstand any kind of ball...Hurrah for McClellan! He is the great man here now.” He reiterates his feelings about secessionists in October: “A man who is not true to his Country which has protected him since birth...does not deserve the sympathy of anyone.” He laments that he will miss Election Day in Ohio, where he fears his home county of “Clermont I suppose will win a majority for the SECESSIONISTS. The Sun of the last week which I got yesterday, is most villainously mean. Leeds would not be allowed to publish such a paper in this Slave state of Maryland. No such paper IS published in any LOYAL slave state.” In November 1862 he visits the Smithsonian Institute, where free lectures are given “on scientific and other subjects, which are attended by EVERYBODY, President Lincoln included.” After the arrest of Ohio Copperhead Clement Vallandigham, he notes on July 24, 1863 that Batavia, Ohio’s “Court House Clique are...full of treason...You may rest assured that Vallandigham will not get ONE VOTE out of a HUNDRED in the Army. The Copperheads KNOW IT, but the LIE to keep up the spirits of their ignorant followers.” Meanwhile the army is filling with new recruits, and at last “the draft is going on PEACEABLY in New York, with the assistance of TEN THOUSAND soldiers from here. There would have been no riots before, if it had not been for the miserable Copperhead papers, which the government was KIND and LENIENT enough to let print their treason. These Copperhead leaders in the North will yet have to be HUNG, before they will quit.” By January 1864, McGrew has left yet another boarding house run by a secessionist hostess! All letters are in at least VG condition, and are collected in a binder with full typescripts and background information on McGrew; with six original covers for his letters to his wife. [18] (photo)

Choice Printed Document, signed in type as major general, 1 page, 12” x 6”, no place, August 3, 1863, giving his “General Orders, No. 10,” reminding cavalry officers “to insure promotion to the valorous, skillful, and efficient officers and soldiers of their respective commands. This is due to those who by their patriotic devotion to duty, and their valor and skill exhibited in the field, have shown themselves worthy of advancement.” He gives an example of the proper form for a recommendation, adding that “the particular acts of valor and skill must be mentioned with the utmost particularity.” Light dampstain along right side, with sparse foxing, VG.

[Wheeler, Joseph] Choice Printed Letter signed in type to “My brave Soldiers,” 2 pages, 8vo (on single sheet), headquarters, Cavalry Corps, December 31, 1864. At the close of a long, hard year, he congratulates them: “From Dalton to Atlanta...opposed almost continuously by a force of infantry ten times your number, you repulsed every assault, inflicting on the enemy a loss in killed and wounded numerically greater than your entire strength...During the entire campaing, the Army of Tennessee never lost a position by having the flank turned which it was your duty to protect...Having been detached and sent to the rear of the enemy you captured his garrisons, destroyed his stores and broke his communications...During Sherman’s march through Georgia you retarded his advance and defeated his cavalry daily, preventing his spreading over and devastating the country...I desire, my brave soldiers, to thank you for your gallantry, devotion and good conduct...” Uneven age-toning, otherwise VG. Despite his glowing report, Wheeler had done little to slow Gen. WT Sherman’s March to the Sea, which had already succeeded in the capture of Savannah on December 21. Wheeler would continue to fight doggedly, earning a last victory against his Union opposite number, Judson Kilpatrick. However, he also permitted Columbia, SC, to be burned (some say by his own soldiers’ instigation), and was replaced by Wade Hampton. (photo - page 88)

Interesting Manuscript Letter Signed “John E. Wool / Major General,” 1 page, 4to, Troy, New York, September 14, 1858. Responding to “Major Gen’l Augustus Morse / Leominster / Worcester, Mass.” General Wool generously relates: “I have just returned from celebrating the Anniversary of the battle of Plattsburgh [an important US victory in 1814] when I had the honor to receive your kind invitation to review your Division...at the camp of General Wool, near Springfield, Mass. I regret that other engagements will deprive me of the very great pleasure it would afford me not only to review your Division, but to accompany the Governor in so pleasing a duty. If I had been notified of your invitation three weeks earlier I could have complied with your desires. By invitation I leave this evening for Springfield to attend the National Horse Fair...For giving your Camp the name of General Wool I tender you my grateful acknowledgments...” Lightly age-toned, with file holes in blank left margin.

Alabama Claims: Geneva Award Drafts Rare trio of United States Treasury Drafts, March-June 1889, payable to various Americans for their losses as a result of attacks by Confederate raiders Alabama, Florida, and Shenandoah, built in the United Kingdom. These drafts were made from the $15.5 million Geneva Award, in which the UK agreed to pay the United States for depredations for which it was partly responsible as a builder and supplier of ships for the Confederate States of America. The drafts are #6346 for $1.27 payable to Charles M. Smith for the estate of Sylvester Brownell, March 12, signed by Treasurer “James W. Hyatt;” #7351 for $.65 payable to Edward A. Swift, April 1, signed by assistant Treasurer “J.W. Whelpley;” and #7758 for $.69 payable to Robert N. Hughson, signed by Treasurer “J.N. Huston.” All are uncanceled, imprinted with “GENEVA AWARD” in red at left beneath an engraved vignette of Salmon P. Chase. All are lightly handled and EF. With a pair of TLS from 1886 by treasurers Conrad N. Jordan and JW Whelpley. Both are to Charles Clifford of New Bedford, MA, on Diplomatic drafts, probably also from the Geneva Award. Decided between former US Ambassador to the UK Charles F. Adams and Chief Justice Sir Alexander Cockburn with foreign arbitrators, the Geneva Award was the first agreement of its kind between sovereign powers and as such was the precursor of the World Court and the United Nations.

Blockade Runners: Importing & Exporting Company of Georgia (GA), $1000 shares, Savannah, June 12, 1863, #494, blockade runner at top, sailor with anchor at left, edges slightly irregular, folds, VF+.

Early in the war, Savannah had resisted attempts at a blockade behind the stout protection of Fort Pulaski.

In April 1862, new Union rifled artillery were landed outside the range of the fort’s smoothbore guns and forced its surrender on the 11th, just one day shy of the anniversary of the assault on Ft. Sumter.

Louisiana would formally secede on January 26, 1861, joining five other Southern states that feared for their ways of life after the election of Abraham Lincoln. One of the first ports to be the focus of the Union blockade was Apalachicola, FL, where goods from Georgia could be shipped. One year into the war, New Orleans was captured; because Louisiana’s loyalties were divided, it was treated as a regular part of the Union rather than as occupied territory. (photo) Est. 2,500-3,000

Blockade Runners: Capture Document Great partly printed DS by F. Sands, acting ensign of the US Gettysburg, reporting on five person captured aboard the “Prize Steamer ‘Lillian’” off the coast of North Carolina, 2 pages, folio, no place, August 24, 1864. Of the five, four are citizens of the UK and are not subject to detention according to Navy Department rules (which are printed on verso), and the fifth is GW Westendorff of South Carolina, who can be held under section 3 (“Citizens of the United States captured either in neutral or rebel vessels, are always to be detained” unless “they are passengers only, have no interest in vessel or cargo, have not been active in the rebellion or engaged in supplying the insurgents with munitions of war, &c., and are loyally disposed, they may be released on taking the oath of allegiance...”) Westendorff is listed as being a passenger with no interest in the vessel, so clearly he has been an active rebel or supplier, as he is listed as subject to detention. Nevertheless, he is “Sent home in prize” along with the others. All are listed as having run the blockade previously. Approved by Capt “Peirce Crosby” of the USS Keystone State. Folds, soiling on verso, VG. With DS, Act of February 17, 1864, $1000 6% CSA bond, 1st series, Cr. 144, B317, equestrian vignette, signed Apperson, CSA treasury stamp upper right, coupons from 1/65, all coupons and face canceled in red ink as contraband of war!

James Carlin, well toned and soiled, fold wear, a very strong Fine. William Bee and a group of other investors had formed the Importing & Exporting Company soon after the blockade was established in April 1861. Bee took personal charge of the company, purchasing among other things the steamer Cecile to run goods in and out of city. He then hired Captain Carlin to sail her. Carlin was also in the Confederate Navy, and just three months after this issue, he attempted (unsuccessfully) to sink the blockading USS New Ironsides with a torpedo spar. (photo) Est. 1,500-2,000

by Benjamin F. Butler as president, GA state arms top, brown, edge and fold wear, soiling at folds, a strong VF. Benjamin F. Butler (1818-93) had been a proSouth Democrat before the Civil War, but soon became one of its most notorious Union political generals; his order to treat New Orleans women who were disrespectful as if they were prostitutes gained him the sobriquet “the Beast;” also known for his ineffective command in the field; later Governor of Massachusetts.

Selma, Marion and Memphis Railroad Company (AL), $1000 8% first mortgage bond, 1869, #768, signed twice by Nathan Bedford Forrest as president on recto and verso, train arrives at station top, workers pick and tote cotton lower right, green with choice gold underprint, RN-W2 left, two RN-P6 right, 7 coupons used, pen notes on verso, age-toned, with fold wear and soiling, but a strong VF. Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821-77) was probably the most stirring success story of the war, enlisting in the Confederate Army as a private and rising to lieutenant general due to his incredible success as a cavalry commander. His seeming ability to arrive out of nowhere, humiliate a larger enemy force, and disappear without a trace made him a legend. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

Interim Depository Receipts During the harsh years of the US Civil War, both the United States and Confederate governments found themselves in constant need of funds in unprecedented amounts to raise, supply, and field massive armies on scales far in excess of what they expected at the outset of the conflict. This challenge was far more difficult in the South, whose new Treasury Department had hoped to fund itself with export tariffs that fell short due to state embargoes and a vast blockade by the US Navy. With little power to levy taxes, it concentrated largely on issuing bonds and paper money to pay for a long and difficult war.

Often the Confederate government found itself unable to meet the demand for printed bonds. When they could not be delivered to purchasers, the Treasury instead issued Interim Depository Receipts, certifying that bonds were due to a buyer. These receipts were issued at the interim Confederate capital in Montgomery, Alabama, and later at the capital in Richmond. They were also available from regional Assistant Treasurers in New Orleans (later moved to Jackson, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; Montgomery; and Meridian, Mississippi) and Charleston (later moved to Columbia, South Carolina). From early 1863, these were joined by agents called depositaries in various locations (depositories) throughout the Confederacy.

Early forms were printed in New Orleans, and then in Richmond by Ritchie & Dunnavant. Later, when it became difficult to obtain forms from the capital, local printers were permitted to create forms for their local depositories. These latter types, principally from the Trans-Mississippi region that was cut off from the rest of the Confederacy with the fall of Vicksburg, are among the rarest and most prized by collectors.

Little was known about these documents in the collecting world until Dr. Douglas Ball’s 1972 work Confederate Interim Deposit Receipts & Funding Certificates in the Commonwealth of Virginia was released. This work has been fully advanced now with the just-released Confederate Treasury Certificates: A Collector’s Guide to IDR’s by George Tremmel, Pierre Fricke and John Martin Davis, Jr. Their advancement of Dr. Ball’s work fully brings these slips of paper into the light of day for the collecting world.

Anchored by the collections of Joe C. Copeland and Holger Dreher, this is the largest assemblage of IDR’s at auction since Dr. Ball’s collection was sold in the 1987 NASCA Richmond sale. In that sale, Dr. Ball fashioned his 729 IDR’s into 83 lots! The following 163 lots contain a total of 172 items for today’s collectors to further their studies – Enjoy!

Confederate War Bonds The first bonds issued by the Confederate States of America were authorized by a Congressional Act of February 28, 1861.

This was a small issue for $15 million, intended to meet the nascent government’s immediate needs, printed by the American Bank Note Company at its New Orleans office. On April 12 of that year, everything changed when Confederate forces began firing on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, initiating the US Civil War. Now a great deal more money would be needed to pay for a conflict that seemed to grow broader and bloodier with each passing day.

Accordingly, after an interim act of May 16, an act was passed on August 16, 1861, to issue $100 million in treasury notes, funded by 8% bonds. More printers were engaged to create an ever-expanding series of varieties to meet the government’s increasing need for capital. Similar acts followed in subsequent years. After the fall of Vicksburg in July 1863, regions of the Confederacy beyond the Mississippi River were essentially cut off from the capital in Richmond, and depositaries were employed to sell the bonds in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.

When Confederate defeat rendered these bonds obsolete, many, especially in England and the Netherlands, held out the ultimately vain hope that the United States government would still honor the bonds, leading a large number of them to be cached there until a settlement might be reached. They also became an immediate draw for collectors, as symbols of the Lost Cause or simply as a part of American financial history. A full century after the war, a list of these bonds, largely prepared by Sidney C. Kerksis, was published by Col. Grover Criswell. With Criswell’s revisions, this ultimately became the narrow 1992/93 volume well known to collectors, and source of the Criswell numbers used in this catalog. In 1998, Dr. Douglas Ball expanded on Criswell’s work with a much more finely categorized list in his Comprehensive Catalog and History of Confederate Bonds, which has itself become definitive, and is the source of the Ball numbers used in this catalog.

The following offering of bonds is anchored by the incredible collection of Mr. Holger Dreher of Switzerland, who has amassed a nearly complete selection of bonds. As a result, this sale reflects his efforts to not only collect as many varieties as possible, but also to acquire examples of every signer and every printer for each type, as well as an impressive array of scarce Trans-Mississippi bonds. Of the 336 different Ball numbers, there are 265 represented in this section. Of the possible 227 Criswell varieties there are 207 represented within the following pages.
