Government exploration of the American southwest. In 1805 Wilkinson ordered Pike to find the source of the Mississippi River so Pike traveled into the northern Louisiana Territory newly purchased from France. In 1806 Pike led an expedition to the southwestern borders of the land acquired by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase. One of the most important inland travel narratives giving an account of the South-west including the author's description of his earlier journey to explore the headwaters of the Mississippi. The two maps are among the first of the area executed by a government expedition. After Pike returned from this first expedition General Wilkinson almost immediately ordered him to mount a second expedition this time to explore map and find the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers. Additional objectives of this exploratory expedition into the southwestern part of the Louisiana Territory were to evaluate natural resources and establish friendly relations with Native Americans. Beginning July 15 1806 Pike led what became known as the "Pike Expedition". General Wilkinson's son James served as one of his lieutenants although it now seems that Wilkinson planned that the Spanish who controlled Mexico would capture him and his men. Over 100 years later France released official records showing General Wilkinson received personal trade concessions and thus could be labeled a spy for Spain at the time.

RODGERS, Harvey; 54th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry ZouavesBiblio.com

Civil War Letter written by a Union Soldier after the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain two weeks before His Death at the Battle of Atlanta in July 1864

1864438776Atlanta Georgia 1864. Very Good. Autograph Letter Signed. Folio. 4pp. Partial splitting at the edges of one vertical and two horizontal folds about very good. A detailed and historically important long letter written in the field by Union soldier Harvey Rodgers just two weeks before he was killed at the Battle of Atlanta on July 22 1864. Rodgers was mustered into service in 1861 as a Corporal in the 54th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry Zouaves Company A commanded by 1st Lt. Judson McCoy referred to as â€œJudâ€ in the letter. In the letter written to his â€œFriend Johnâ€ on four easily legible folio pages Rodgers describes Confederate and Union Army maneuvers and skirmishes immediately after the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain fought from June 19 â€“ July 2 1864 during the lead-up to the Battle of Atlanta which began on July 21st: â€œâ€¦ Well John I have stood the campaign well this Spring â€¦ We have whipped the rebel army out finely â€¦ that is we have drove them so far South that Atlanta can be seen from our lines â€¦ I suppose you have heard about our making a charge on the 27th June â€¦ I do not wish to be in anymore such places â€¦ we lay in camp until the 2nd of July when our Division moved â€¦ very near due south of the Kennesaw mountain. That night Jud with our Company was on picket. We heard the cars very plain but did not think they the rebel army were evacuating the mountain and falling back â€¦ Next morning â€¦ We did not move forward until two oâ€™clock when we advanced our lines two miles finding a small force of Cavalry in our front which we routed by charging them. The Regt. lost 1 killed 14 wounded â€¦â€ He describes a second skirmish on July 4th at which his Company fought in support of the Union armyâ€™s 16th Corps to advance Union lines and continues: â€œâ€¦ On the 5th we were moved back again and brought further around on the right where we now lay. Our front lines are two miles further on. The rebels have a line of works between them and the Chattahoochee river â€¦ I expect we will have a pretty hard time before we get there and a hard time to cross the river â€¦â€ The Battle of Atlanta commenced on July 21 1864. Both Harvey Rodgers and Union Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson were killed during the battle on July 22nd. Rodgers' letter thus ends poignantly: â€œWell John my time is fast rolling around now and I begin to think I will soon get home again. Only two months and 8 days more â€¦ Still in that short time there are many dangers to undergo. I may be called on to go into several more charges. Perhaps of some one not to come out alive â€¦ There has not more than half a dozen days passed since the 10th of May but what we have been under the sound of artillery. The troops appear to be pretty well worn out and wish for the campaign to close yet they all want to get into Atlanta first â€¦â€ A compelling and ultimately heartbreaking eye witness account of General Shermanâ€™s Atlanta campaign during the summer of 1864. Longer quoted extracts from the letter are available. unknown

1809000867cSCOTLAND IRELAND ENGLAND DUBLIN EDINBURGH UK. Good. 1809. On offer is a remarkable original 1809 - 1833 handwritten manuscript book once used by the British Army's 94th Regiment of Foot. This book contains all manner of writings relevant to the running and goings-on of the Regiment by the Officers. The book is rather eclectic containing standing orders regimental orders different charts and forms for payroll and other reportage for example on the conditions of the Dublin Garrison orders of the day direct communications between officers public requests for leave advancement of funds settling of accounts etc. public apologies for poor behavior copies of letters sent to superiors up to and including the Duke of York Commander of all His Majesty's Forces and many other of Britain's peerage and there are even personal reminiscences notes of reference for departing soldiers plus much much more. Most of the entries of personal notes and those for Day Book purposes are signed by all manner of officers and peerage; Colonels Captains Lords and many reference specific orders by the Supreme Commander of the Army or even the King. Most fascinating are the 'Memorialist' messages of certain officers writing in the 3rd person touting themselves while seeking favor. 164 pp of history and methodology of this noted British Army regiment contained in this entirely handwritten book. Most of the entries are circa 1809 - 1827 but the oldest entry in the book is dated Edinburgh Castle 1833 and is addressed to what appears to be 'My Dear Beaver' while the correspondent signs in initials F.M. late of St. Lucia. He makes reference to Mr. Beaver as the clergyman that baptized his 3 children. Also of note: on the very last page written upside down are a quote a note and an invitation dated Fort Charlotte 1825 to His Excellency Major General Blackwell by Mr. and Mrs. Murray.
