MANSFIELD LOVELLABAA

A Day After Grant's Capture of Fort Henry Confederate General Lovell Weakens New Orleans in a Futile Attempt to Shore Up Fort Donelson

186221776In February 1862 General Mansfield Lovell sends reinforcements to Albert Sidney Johnston the chief Confederate commander in the West so he can defend Nashville and Fort Donelson. The move was fruitless; Fort Donelson fell to Union troops a week after this letter was written. MANSFIELD LOVELL.Autograph Letter Signed to Albert Sidney Johnston. New Orleans La. February 7 1862. 1 p. 8 x 11 in.With: a carte-de-visite of Lovell in Confederate uniform. New York & Washington: Brady's National Photographic Portrait Gallery ca. 1862.Partial Transcript "Capt. Gibson's battery 21 rifled 6 pdrs. and two 12 pdr. Howitzers has been detained for want of transportation but will leave tomorrow morning for Nashville. Capt. Bains has received his battery and with the exception of a portion of his harness is ready to proceed to join your command; but as his company is totally uninstructed I have thought it best to retain them at their encampment in the Jackson Rail Road to drill and be reduced to something like discipline. If however you desire to have the guns and men I would prefer to have the men instructed at Nashville. I shall order them there upon the receipt of a telegram to that effect from you."Historical BackgroundA day before Lovell wrote this letter Ulysses S. Grant had forced the surrender of Fort Henry Tennessee. The loss prompted Confederate Western Department commander General Albert Sidney Johnston to abandon his position at Bowling Green Kentucky and fall back towards Nashville. A week later on February 16 Fort Donelson Tennessee fell. The Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers had been opened and all of western Tennessee northern Mississippi and northern Alabama were exposed to Union invasion. Johnston adopted the strategic thinking of P.G.T. Beauregard his new second-in-command and concentrated most of the men in the western theater on a climactic battle against Ulysses S. Grant. In the resulting Battle of Shiloh April 6-7 1862 Johnson himself was killed. He was the highest-ranking officer to die in battle on either side in the Civil War.In the aftermath of the Battle of Shiloh New Orleans lay exposed to Union attack from the north while to the south Admiral David G. Farragut's Mississippi River fleet broke the Confederate defenses on the Mississippi River at Forts Jackson and St. Philip. The two forts protected New Orleans but Farragut bypassed them in the dark early morning hours of April 24. He then prevailed over Confederate Captain John Stevenson's overmatched fleet. Lovell began to evacuate New Orleans over the next few days well before Union General Benjamin Butler's army was in a position to threaten its works. Lovell's evacuation order probably cost him his career; he was investigated by a court of inquiry and never again commanded troops in the field. Butler occupied the Crescent City on May 1.Mansfield Lovell 1822-1884 was a West Point graduate from Washington D.C. who was seriously wounded at Belen Gate in the Mexican War. In October 1861 he was appointed major general in the Confederate Army and assigned to command in New Orleans. Under Lovell the Confederates lost New Orleans but he was hampered by deficiencies in men and materiel and was subsequently cleared of responsibility. However he never again obtained high command.Albert S. Johnston 1803-1862 of Kentucky graduated from West Point where he befriended Jefferson Davis in 1828. He went to Texas where he served as aide-de-camp to Sam Houston's revolutionary army and rose to command Texas forces briefly in 1837. He also served as Secretary of War for the short-lived Republic of Texas. Johnston fought under Zachary Taylor in the Mexican War was colonel of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry on the Texas frontier led troops in the Utah wars and commanded the Department of the Pacific before the Civil War. In 1861 he was appointed full general second after Samuel Cooper with command of all Confederate forces in the western theater. Under his overall direction the South lost Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. His plans for resurgence in the West resulted in the Battle of Shiloh during which he fell mortally wounded.ConditionVery good.

Mansfield Lovell and the War Office in Richmond regarding New Orleans' defenses. Upon his resignation as deputy street commissioner of New York City Lovell was made a major general in the Confederate army charged with the defense of New Orleans.

Warrant to sheriff of Essex County England for a case tried before William Lord Mansfield and clerk's listing of cases assigned to judges

1772318099Cholinsford England 1772. 1 parchment leaf and one paper leaf. Ink on parchment with a black ink seal in left margin. Docketed on verso in a contemporary hand and signed by three persons named on recto. Paper leaf lined vertically in red with eight blind stamps reading "shilling" and showing a coat of arms. 1 parchment leaf and one paper leaf. English legal history in detail. This warrant describes the crimes of several named persons including Daniel Halls convicted of felony and burglary against Elizabeth Wilson widow to the sum of twelve shillings and eight pence. This legal document describes the course of redress for a theft in some detail including a reward of forty pounds for the apprehension of housebreakers divided among Elizabeth Wilson Daniel Wilson and James Button. The note on the verso records the payment of the reward and includes the signatures of Elizabeth Wilson Daniel Wilson and "the mark of James Button" a shaky X. Interestingly it appears that Elizabeth Wilson was literate enough to write her own name. This note is interesting for its legal history but also its association with William Lord Mansfield who was associated with the reform of the English legal system in his time. Together with a paper leaf that appears to be a clerk's listing of cases filed with their assignments to judges annotated in the border. Several of the cases are signed by Lord Mansfield. unknown books
