At its height Virginia City was a thriving metropolis of 25000 residents. The Republican Daily Territorial Enterprise where Mark Twain started his career and the Democratic Virginia Evening Chronicle were integral to the city. In October of 1875 a serious fire burned most of the town to ashes and although residents rebuilt the really lucrative perios of mining there ended in about 1880. By 1890 there were only about 8500 people still living there and by 1900 that figure shrank to about 2500. The Chronicle Printing Company unknown

English Victorian manuscript diary containing the hunting notes of a Pytchley man Charles W. Prescott 1871; amusing not only to the hunting-world

1870D11031England 1870s. Hardcover. Very Good. England Kent and Norfolk counties: c. 1871-1874. 8vo 175 x 115mm; 61 numbered pages in the hand of Charles W. Prescott detailing his various hunting excursions around the Kent countryside. Prescotts ownership inscription on front free-endpaper is dated 1871. His entries are easily read and cover Prescotts adventures on hunting hares with a skulk of foxes writing Found another in the same field ran her straight back to Old Park round the pond and the pack hunted her beautifully. Dec. 16 1871. The hunts took place over sprawling village and countryside or as he describes hop-gardens hills and ploughs of land in the Herne Bay area of Kent England. Many entries are headed by recognizable locations; Stroud Park Broomfield Hilsborough Wolston Heath and Chislet Mill and are dated with month and sometimes year. Only a portion of the way full his entries span about three years the first dated: Oct. 19 71 Stroud Park and last March 25 1874. Contemporary black morocco marbled endpapers and marbled endpapers with original brass clasp faint splitting at lower hinge of first few leaves strengthened at endpapers corners rubbed otherwise in very good shape especially considering it was wielded around so much of the Kentish countryside. Prescott makes many personal anecdotes about his day noting things in his surroundings like scent moderate or adding his opinions we could not kill I think we should have but the sun was too hot. Prescott often ends the entries with jotting down the days weather as something like very indifferent but as good as could be expected with a very cold east wind or simply stating Frost. It is evident from Prescotts personal asides that he was a vigilant huntsman quite dedicated to the task. Further personal glimpses reveal a record of his horses charming names including Salt Fish and Molly Malone. At the time Prescott was taking these notes Herne Bay area and the Kentish villages would have been teeming with people. The Victoria era was one of prosperity when elite English folk flocked to popular destinations to partake in their favorite pastimes. From 1873 on in the journal Prescott notes he was hunting with Pytchley by writing their name in parentheses. The Pytchley hunt is an organization originally based in Northamptonshire in formation as early at the 1630s. The organization is still active today. Pytchleys website notes that from 1819-1873 right as Prescott began with Pytchley for one year the Althorp and Pytchley countries were hunted by one pack with a second pack established at Brigstock. Prescott was part of the famous hunt organization at a time when it was amid significant change and expansion. His notes may keep further clue of such growth. While the huntsman himself may be unknown to history the anecdotal evidence in Prescotts diary gives us a glimpse of the Victorian man fond of his sport. hardcover

The list of illustrations calls for 28 plates including the map. While we have 26 of the 28 the 5 extra yield a total of 31 plates. Thus while incomplete still a desirable and very "Cleveland" copy of this important image-driven guide for rail travelers in Ohio. The author goes on tangents for example spending more than two pages discussing the general history of the Mormons as the guide passes through Kirtland but these digressions seem to be in some sense the point--offering diversion to the weary traveler.

Early American Woman's Family Poetry and Prayer Journal 1820-1830

1820165851820. Tuckerman H. P. Poetry and prayer journal 1820-1830 documents early nineteenth-century manuscript album culture within Anglo-American Protestant communities with particular attention to women's devotional writing moral instruction and shared literary practices. The volume supports research into gendered authorship religious education and the circulation of poetic and didactic texts in the early republic where handwritten albums functioned as spaces for communal inscription. The presence of multiple hands across dated entries demonstrates a participatory literary culture structured around kinship and social networks while recurring themes of childhood piety mortality and moral virtue situate the text within contemporary evangelical and didactic traditions. Tuckerman H. P. Poetry and prayer journal. Circa 1820-1830. Manuscript volume with 53 handwritten entries by multiple contributors including poems hymns and devotional reflections. Entries include a hymn composed for the British and Foreign School Society emphasizing education and moral uplift through the metaphor "Oh stream of knowledge when thy tides.Forget not then the flowers" alongside gendered moral instruction concluding "woman's Happiest destiny Is only - to be good." Biblical passages including references to Luke 2 appear throughout accompanied by original prayers such as an 1827 entry: "Heaven sees no sight so fair As happy childhood bowed in prayer." Several texts address mortality and impermanence including reflections such as "Life is but a scanty ledge.suspended o'er a fathomless abyss" and a memorial poem introduced as written by a young man shortly before death from consumption invoking Romantic-era associations with illness and artistic sensibility. Additional entries focus on natural landscapes including "Spring Mountain" 1828 which situates spiritual reflection within pastoral imagery. The volume includes an original drawing of a mother and child signed "S. Tuckerman" as well as two pencil drawings of forest scenes reinforcing the integration of visual and literary expression within album practices. This manuscript emerges from a period in which evangelical Protestantism moral education movements and literary cultivation intersected within domestic and semi-public spheres particularly among women and youth. The reference to the British and Foreign School Society situates the volume within transatlantic educational reform efforts emphasizing literacy and moral discipline. The collaborative nature of the entries aligns with early nineteenth-century album traditions where social exchange and authorship were intertwined. Such materials provide insight into how religious belief gender norms and literary expression were internalized and reproduced within everyday practice. Original red half morocco binding with owner's name "H. P. Tuckerman" in gilt on front cover; approximately 120 pages with writing on 76 pages; includes three original drawings; measures 9 x 7 1/2 inches. Light toning and minimal foxing throughout; very good condition. A substantive example of early American manuscript culture linking devotional life gendered authorship and communal literary exchange. unknown

A View from the Ranks": The Civil War Diaries and Manuscripts of Charles E. Smith 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry

18612786np: np 1861. First edition. Original leather covers. Good. A REMARKABLY EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF A UNION SOLIDER INCLUDING DIARIES FROM 1861-1865 SPANNING HIS ENTIRE CIVIL WAR CAREER. THE SOLDIER CHARLES E. SMITH PARTICIPATED IN SOME OF THE MOST CRITICAL CAMPAIGNS OF THE WAR INCLUDING THE SEIGE OF VICKSBURG THE FALL OF ATLANTA AND SHERMAN'S MARCH TO THE SEA. Background: Charles E. Smith 1836-1905 was born in Berlin Township Ohio. He worked as a farmer and country schoolteacher in Alum Creek Delaware County Ohio. He enlisted in the 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the age of 25 on September 3 1861 and mustered in September 7 1861. He was promoted to the rank of corporal in Company I of the regiment on January 30 1864. He was slightly wounded on July 29 1864 during the Atlanta Campaign. He mustered out of the service on July 20 1865 at Louisville Kentucky. The 32nd Ohio Infantry was organized at Mansfield Ohio on August 20-September 7 1861 and mustered in for three years' service under the command of Colonel Thomas H. Ford. The regiment was involved in several important engagements and operations during the Civil War including the Battle of Greenbrier River the Battle of McDowell the Battle of Harpers Ferry the Battle of Champion Hill the Siege of Vicksburg the Atlanta Campaign the Battle of Jonesborough Sherman's March to the Sea the Carolinas Campaign and the Battle of Bentonville. The 32nd Ohio Infantry mustered out of service at Louisville Kentucky on July 20 1865. The Collection: The collection consists of 26 dairies dating from 1859 to 1866. Except for four volumes covering a period from 1856 to April 1861 and one covering the period September 18 1865 to December 5 1866 the remaining dairies 21 volumes span his entire Civil War career in the 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry covering the period September 3 1861 the date of his enlistment to the date of his mustering out of the service on July 20 1865. The diaries of various sizes average approximately 100 pages with few blank pages. His daily entries in his Civil War diaries many of which are detailed consist of descriptions of the weather diet geographical locations his devotion to the Union camp activities military news and description of engagements. He also included several drawings in the diaries some in color. He described his day of enlistment of September 3: "Enlisted at Lewis Center between 8 and 9 oclock in Captain Dyre's company of 3 years volunteers. I bid good bye to all my folks and started having resolved to assist in sustaining the Government. But the feelings which came over me when I left home friends and all that seemed dear to me I cannot describe." The new enlistees moved to Camp Dennison and Smith records the daily activities in camp as his company prepared for their first movement. From Camp Dennison the 32nd Ohio was ordered to western Virginia present-day West Virginia to assist in driving Confederate forces out of the region. On October 3 1861 the 32nd Ohio participated in the inconclusive Battle of Greenbrier River. Smith records in his diary beginning on September 29 through October 3: "In the evening we received orders to march to make an attack on Greenbrier about 12 miles distant. Our company numbered 86 men. Our regiment probably numbered 900 men present and able to perform duty. The 32nd. Went in advance and cleared out the road and took one prisoner. Our regiment stopped at the cross roads within four miles of Greenbrier and stopped. We expected there that the battle commenced. but they Confederate troops did not come and we. crept into the thick laurel bushes to lay till morning. When I awoke it was daylight and other regiments were passing. The artillery was hurrying along as fast as possible each gun was drawn by six horses and about nine oclock the canons began to roar. It was kept up till two oclock on both sides when our communication failed and our men withdrew from the field without losing any guns. The canons roared very loud and the sound rolled over the Mountains and valleys and made everything ring once more. Our loss was including those that were killed on the field and those that died of wounds after the battle about 12 men. We took 13 prisoners." Smith describes an engagement with Confederate forces around Beverly Virginia on December 18 1861: "The rebels came out and met our forces and a bloody fight ensued. The 32nd fought bravely and drove the enemy back. The 25th were in the advance and were cut up dreadfully. They fell back and the 32nd stood their ground and fought them like tigers. Our men made two or three gallant charges and drove them out of their entrenchments and were forced out themselves. Our boys could not drive them out again and after a desperate and bloody struggle our troops retreated. having lost about one hundred men." After spending the winter in Beverly Virginia the 32nd Ohio participated in the Shenandoah Campaign of 1862 where they engaged Stonewall Jackson's Confederate force at the Battle of McDowell Virginia on May 8 and were defeated. On that day Smith recorded the following: "We formed into line and gave three cheers to the cavalry and were waiting to welcome the infantry when a dispatch came for us to report immediately at headquarters armed and equipped. We went forthwith and formed into line of battle on an open field. The rebels came down on the hills & tried to pick a spot to plant a gun and our boys threw shell amongst and drove them out. The rebels gathered on a mountain at the right of town about 4000 men. Our boys did not find out what they were at or where they were till late in the afternoon. Two regiments went up the mountain and the ball was opened. The battle lasted till after 8 oclock at night when our boys withdrew bringing the wounded and mostly all the dead from the field. The fight lasted about 4 hours." The 32nd Ohio retreated to Franklin Virginia where they joined General John C. Fremont's command. Fremont followed the Confederates into the valley and engaged a Confederate force at Cross Keys Virginia on June 8 1862 but Smith's company did not participate in the action. The 32nd Ohio move on to Winchester Virginia where they performed garrison duty for the remainder of the summer. In September 1862 the 32nd Ohio was dispatched to Harper's Ferry. The regiment again faced Stonewall Jackson participating in the Battle of Harper's Ferry September 12-15 1862. In this engagement Jackson captured the town and nearly twelve thousand Union soldiers including the 32nd Ohio subsequently paroling them after confiscating their supplies. In his entry for September 15 Smith describes the last day of the battle: "At sunrise the ball opened with a heavy cannonade from both sides. Our men were nearly out of ammunition for artillery and the enemy was mowing down our ranks. The shells and shot came down like hail all around and amongst us and many of our officers and soldiers were mortally wounded. Our artillerists run out of ammunition and there was no other way for us to do than surrender or be slaughtered on the field. At about 8 oclock the stripes and stars were hauled down and the white flag waved as a signal for surrender. The rebel cavalry and officers were soon riding through our camp. They hoisted the bars and stars where an hour before our glorious old star spangled banner floated proudly in the breeze. O how my heart beat and my bosom heaved to see that corrupt flag raised in defiance over us." The surrender of the 32nd Ohio resulted in a revolt in the ranks of the enlisted men against the regiment's officers which Smith later discusses in a January 15 1863 entry in his diary stating: "we were obliged to surrender 11500 men to the Rebels General A.P. Hill. It was the opinion of nearly all of our men that Colonel Miles of Baltimore betrayed us into the hands of the Rebels. It was said that he got 15 cents per head for us. Our Col Thomas H. Ford was examined by a committee and dismissed from the service for blame that was unjustly laid against him for the evacuation of the Maryland Heights. Since we were paroled a hard feeling was created between the officers of the regiment." Smith and his regiment eventually rejoined General Ulysses Grant's Army of the Tennessee in Memphis on January 25 1863. The regiment was involved in Grant's Siege of Vicksburg beginning in April 1863. A pivotal engagement in Grant's Vicksburg Campaign was the Battle of Champion Hill which occurred on May 16 resulting in a Union victory. Smith's entry for that day records the fighting: "A battle had begun on the left the firing seemed to be from large guns and the line seemed to be several miles long. We halted to await orders. Soon they came & we went forward & laid behind a ridge where we could see the fighting. The scene was grand but terrible. The heavy fighting was on the left & center at first. Our brigade charged on a rebel battery and took it & hauled it off. The 32nd did a noble part charging on the hills & ravines and out the battery driving the enemy before them killing a large number." The siege of Vicksburg ended on July 4 1863 when the Confederate forces surrendered and the Union troops under Grant including the 32nd Ohio entered the city. Smith recorded the events of July 3 and 4 in his diary. On July 3 he wrote: "This is the 46th day of the Siege. The rebels have sustained at this place and nobly and bravely have they defended it but General Grant has been too much for them." The next day's entry detailed the surrender. "At nine oclock it was announced that Vicksburg was surrendered. What a thrill of joy ran through every heart. The boys all seem lively and jubilant over the success which has crowned our arms. At half past ten oclock the rebels march out of their forts and rifle pits. and form in line outside their works and stuck arms." After Vicksburg the 32nd Ohio joined an expedition to Monroe Louisiana and then participated in General James McPherson's expedition to Brownsville Mississippi. In addition to his daily entries Smith also drew a number of pencil and ink sketches that reflected what he described in on a particular day such as sketching images that depicted the sleeping arrangements in the soldiers' tents maps of terrains and a two-page spread showing the capture of a Confederate battery in Mississippi. He also wrote down poems whether written by him or others. For example on January 31 1864 he added a six-stanza poem possibly written by him entitled "Evening Thoughts" to that day's entry. A partial transcription reads: "I'm weary and I'm lonely//As I'm sitting in my tent//And I'll take my leaden pencil//And give you my feelings sent// O would this war be over//And these bloody strivings cease//And our country now distracted//Return with lasting peace." In February 3 to March 6 1864 the 32nd Ohio was involved in General William T. Sherman's Meridian Expedition which resulted in the capture of Meridian Mississippi. On March 3 Smith recorded a diary entry that detailed the destruction rendered by the campaign: "I cannot fully give the amount of damage done to the Southern Confederacy while on this Expedition but the result foots up about as follows. About 200 miles of railroad running east & west was destroyed. About 60 miles of the Mobile and Ohio railroad was destroyed and about 40 miles of the Central Mississippi road destroyed. There were about 25 Locomotives and a considerable number of cars together with Confederate railroad houses machine shops and foundries manufacturing establishments of arms ammunition. A large amount of cotton was burned." On June 10 1864 the 32nd Ohio joined Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. In the campaign the 32nd fought in the Battles of Kennesaw Mountain Atlanta Ezra Church and Jonesborough. The campaign ended on September 2 1864 when Union forces occupied Atlanta. Smith's diary entry for June 27 mentions the engagement at Kennesaw Mountain: "We were aroused at early dawn. and then ordered to pile our knapsacks and be ready to move. A battery had been brought up and was shelling the Rebels lively for a while. Our division having formed a line of battle came to a right shoulder shift arms and then we advanced in line through the woods toward the enemy. The skirmishers engaged the enemy who replied by volleys of musketry which whizzed overhead and sounded hideous. The rebels brought several batteries down and opened upon us. Moved up a little higher and laid down again and the rebels opened with shot and shell which came whizzing overhead. Some of them sung like an old spinning wheel under the control of a northern farmer's wife. Our loss in this engagement was considerable. We fell back learning that the rebels were massing their force to right and formed a new line of battle in front of our new breastworks and behind the skirmishers. Skirmishing was kept up lively along the lines and many had hair breadth escapes. We made our demonstration to draw as much rebel force away from the right as possible." His diary entry for September 3 1864 reported the good news concerning the fall of Atlanta: "Atlanta was evacuated yesterday morning at daylight the rebels having blown up large magazines of ammunition destroyed government stores and eighty carloads of ammunition. The Twentieth Corps under General Slocum marched into and took possession of the city of Atlanta an eleven oclock. We have last caused the rebels to evacuate what they called the 'Gate City' or 'Key' to the southern Confederacy and that without a very general battle. The rebels have made many boasting speeches and declared that they would fight for Atlanta till the last man woman and child was sacrificed before they would give it up. Where is their vain boasting where are their prophesies" The capture of Atlanta had a major impact on the presidential election of 1864 and helped President Lincoln's chances for reelection enormously. On election day November 8 the 32nd Ohio voted in the field. Smith's diary entry for the day reads "This being election day the polls were opened and we voted for President. Abe Lincoln carried the day." In mid-November 1864 the 32nd Ohio participated in General Sherman's "March to the Sea." The command engaged in no noteworthy battles or skirmishes until reaching Savannah Georgia. On December 10 1864 the regiment was among the lead Northern units that drove the Confederate garrison into the confines of city. Upon the Union Army's capture of Savannah on December 21 1864 the 32nd entered and encamped in the city. Within a week of the fall of Richmond the capital city of the Confederacy the news of President Lincoln's assassination and death on April 15 spread slowly to the soldiers in the south including the 32nd Ohio. On Monday April 17 Smith recorded in his diary: "An order said to have come from Secretary Stanton to General Howard was announced to the soldiers. That President Lincoln Secretary Seward and son were assassinated and that the President was killed. Whether this be true or not it caused sadness in many hearts and was believed to be reliable." The next day's entry was in response to the confirmation that Lincoln was dead: "News of the death of our President Abraham Lincoln causes a gloom over our minds. We feel that in losing him we have lost one of the best men our nation ever produced. In losing him we lose a wise and intelligent statesman a great and good counsellor a lover of freedom and humanity and the deliverer of our nation from the curse of slavery."

No. 12 with a persistent corner chip and occasional small loss. Light foxing. Very Good. EACH ISSUE $250 OR THE ENTIRE RUN FOR $1000 Crandall does not record Numbers 4 and 5; but AAS which says The Countryman was "suspended intermittently" evidently owns them. Its first printing was March 18 1862. The articles cover an array of subjects including of course much on the War: This interesting Confederate weekly was printed at Turnwold Turner's Putnam County plantation probably the only wartime newspaper so printed. "Joel Chandler Harris was an apprentice for Joseph Addison Turner. In 1862 Turner decided to produce a newspaper from his home at Turnwold Plantation. In fact in a more-than-semi-autobiographical book Harris wrote called On the Plantation he explains that the printing office for The Countryman was established 'in an outhouse.'. . . As was the typical arrangement for the time Harris worked for Turner in exchange for clothing and boarding at the Turnwold Plantation for the four plus years he apprenticed there. As a printer's devil Harris was responsible for setting and inking the type for the paper on the hand-press individually placing the letters so they were spaced appropriately for printing" "Joel Chandler Harris and The Wren's Nest" December 3 2020 Blog site of American Writers Museum accessed May 01 2026.
