1890189727New York: The Century Co. 1890. A superb panorama of the age of Lincoln First edition abundantly extra-illustrated with over 650 letters photographs prints and ephemera crowned by an autograph letter signed by Lincoln as President: an extraordinary collection of signatures from the military and political leaders who shaped the nation in its greatest existential struggle. The authors Lincoln's private secretaries "shared a room at the White House and had an exceptionally close relationship with Lincoln though they stood somewhat in awe of the president. Lincoln and his two secretaries had a good deal of mutual affection. They served Lincoln for four years performing a wide variety of political and personal duties and remaining close friends throughout a working friendship that became the foundation for an important literary collaboration in later years" ANB. Their monumental History remains one of the grandest narratives of Lincoln's life presidency and legacy. The original 10 volumes have here been expanded to 20 and luxuriously bound by Whitman Bennett of New York in blue morocco emblazoned with the American eagle Lincoln's signature and patriotic insignia. The first item is an apparently unpublished autograph letter signed by Lincoln as President dated 2 August 1861 and written from the Executive Mansion to his Secretary of War: "My dear Sir Let Charles S. Hamilton of Wisconsin be a Brigadier General of volunteers". Hamilton 1822-1891 a West Point classmate of Ulysses S. Grant served in the Mexican-American War and commanded companies in Texas and Mississippi between 1848 and 1853. He later settled in Wisconsin and at the outbreak of the Civil War was commissioned colonel of the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry on 11 May 1861. The Lincoln letter here concerns his formal commissioning as brigadier general of volunteers that August. He served in Virginia Tennessee and Mississippi resigning in 1863 in protest at being denied higher command; he rebuffed Lincoln's request that he withdraw his resignation. Also included are four signed letters addressed to Lincoln during his presidency: from the acting governor of Utah Territory the Executive Council of New Hampshire the Pennsylvania congressional delegation and the citizens of Pottsville Pennsylvania. Together the signatures span the military and political leadership of the Civil War. They include former presidents Millard Fillmore and John Tyler and the future president Ulysses S. Grant.

Townsend Washington D.C.: War Department Adjutant General's Office February 18 1864. Lincoln issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in his annual message to Congress on December 8 1863. In the message Lincoln declared that he would offer a pardon to any man who would swear without coercion his allegiance to the Union. This provided then a general pardon to soldiers in the Rebellion and to those too who deserted the Union cause. All Southerners except for high-ranking Confederate army officers and government officials could be granted a full pardon by taking the oath and Lincoln guaranteed Southerners that he would protect their private property though not their slaves. The oath read in part “I do solemnly swear in presence of Almighty God that I will henceforth faithfully support protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Union of the States thereunder; and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all acts of congress passed during the existing rebellion with reference to slaves so long and so far as not repealed modified or held void by Congress or by decision of the Supreme Court; and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion having reference to slaves so long and so far as not modified or declared void by decision of the Supreme Court. So help me God.†Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 17 inches by 19 inches. The autograph pardon is in very good condition. The carte-de-visite is in fine condition. The contemporary printing of the Amnesty Pardon is in fine condition and is exceedingly rare with only one other copy appearing at auction over the course of the past century. An exceptional grouping of Lincolnalia. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through the American Civil War the country's greatest moral cultural constitutional and political crisis and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln ran for President in 1860 sweeping the North in victory. The South was outraged by Lincoln's election and in response secessionists implemented plans to leave the Union before he took office in March 1861. War began in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina just over a month after Lincoln's inauguration and after years of deadly military conflict officially ended on April 9 1865 when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. On April 14 1865 just days after the war's end at Appomattox Lincoln was attending a play at Ford's Theatre with his wife Mary when he was assassinated by Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln is remembered as the martyr hero of the United States and is consistently ranked as one of the greatest presidents in American history. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown
