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.<br /> <br /> 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 “Jud†in the letter. In the letter written to his “Friend John†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 – July 2 1864 during the lead-up to the Battle of Atlanta which began on July 21st:<br /> <br /> “… Well John I have stood the campaign well this Spring … We have whipped the rebel army out finely … that is we have drove them so far South that Atlanta can be seen from our lines … I suppose you have heard about our making a charge on the 27th June … I do not wish to be in anymore such places … we lay in camp until the 2nd of July when our Division moved … 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 … Next morning … We did not move forward until two o’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€<br /> <br /> He describes a second skirmish on July 4th at which his Company fought in support of the Union army’s 16th Corps to advance Union lines and continues:<br /> <br /> “… 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 … I expect we will have a pretty hard time before we get there and a hard time to cross the river …â€<br /> <br /> 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:<br /> <br /> “Well 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 … 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 … 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€<br /> <br /> A compelling and ultimately heartbreaking eye witness account of General Sherman’s Atlanta campaign during the summer of 1864. Longer quoted extracts from the letter are available. unknown

11555Letter 'dated Cape Town May 10th 1797' on paper also with watermarked date '1797'. 2pp. 4to. Good on lightly-aged laid paper. Bower begins by stating that he is sending 'a Copy of a Letter which I have received from Dr Carm Smyth James Carmichael Smyth 1742-1821 of the Middlesex Hospital'. Smyth's son the future Sir James Carmichael-Smyth is 'a very fine handsome young man Lieut in the Engineers come out a Passanger sic in the same ship with us'. Bower and Smyth 'wisely went into the Boat which was lashed to the Stern Gallery to fish sharks which were following the ship - the Boat suddenly canted round in the slings upon which poor Smyth went plump into the sea'. Bower 'happened to catch hold of the Boat & by the dictate of instinct & fear together scrambled up again & got into the Stern Gallery'. The slings being 'foul' an attempt to lower the boat failed and 'poor Smyth was nearly exhausted when I jumpt from the great Cabin window & kept him up till we were both Pickt up'. Bower continues: 'I will thank you to tell his Dad that I think myself well rewarded for my Ducking by the satisfaction I derive from his Letter'. Dr Smyth has sent Bower 'a very fine field Glass' and Bower asks his father to 'tell Sandy to call on Dr Smyth if he goes to London he is a man of considerable eminence in his profession'. The doctor has 'exerted himself on my account for my promotion in the Army' and 'if he can serve either Graham or Sandy' Bower will think himself 'Greatly overpaid'. The Gentleman's Magazine of February 1800 pp.181-182 gives an unusually long entry on Captain Bower's death at 'the isle of Perrim on the Red Sea' praising his character and accomplishments. Letter 'dated Cape Town May 10th 1797', on paper also with watermarked date '1797'. unknown
8933Letter One: 'Camp Sebastopol. January 24th. 1856.' Letter Two: 'Camp 49 Regt Sebastopol. March 31st.'. Letter One: 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. 75 lines of text. Clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged paper. Expresses regret at 'Morten Edens melancholy death so young & so clever as he was'. 'There is great talk of Peace. We hardly know if to believe it - few will be sorry should the news prove to be true as I think most of us have had enough fighting. Apparently refers to his sweetheart under a cypher. She has not written to him but 'London gaieties have little time for correspondence'. 'The weather here is something awful - cold & wet fogs & sleet. The place is a sea of mud up to your knees without exaggeration.' His father has sent him food and clothing. The officers are 'getting up a school for the men as the weather is too bad for drill' but 'there is no scarcity of work' with the roads requiring constant repair and 'the Minie Rifle Instruction' going on daily. 'There was a good deal of firing on Sunday night down by the Tchernaya - and we rather expected an attack however it all ended in Smoke.' The docks which he considers 'the most splendidly finished' he has ever seen 'built up of that beautiful red & blue granite' have 'all been blown up'. Letter Two: 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. 67 lines of text. Clear and complete. Fair on aged paper with 6 cm vertical closed tear through both leaves. Containing an interesting description of 'Spring horse races' which took place 'in the Valley of the Tchernaya' as a result of an armistice. The allied armies crowded the banks on one side of the river and on the other 'the Russians let loose for the occasion'. There was much bartering - 'Knifes sic Pipes Tobacco Money and various other articles . thrown across the river attached to a stone or enveloped in mud. The river is not more than 2 or 3 yards wide at some places so that we could have plenty of conversation with our Enemies without breaking the "General order". The French were allowed by their Chiefs to cross and they appeared to get on capitally with the Russian Officers'. The French fired 101 guns in a general salute to the heir to their emperor and the British returned the salute with the same number. Regarding the outcome of 'the conferences' hears that 'you people in England are very pugilistic and are determined to have war if you can'. Considers that the British Army 'was never in better condition for a campaign' and thinks it 'a pitty to stop just now'. Gibson was still alive in 1864 when he married Georgina Eliza daughter of William Clarke. Note: "The 49th was at the battles of Alma Inkerman and Sevastopol during which three Victoria Crosses were awarded to members of the Regiment." Letter One: 'Camp Sebastopol. January 24th. 1856.' Letter Two: 'Camp 49 Regt Sebastopol. March 31st.' hardcover
