1863286999Appleton WI 1863. unbound. very good. Fine content A.L.S. 4to. 2 pages Appleton WI January 27 1863 providing news of troop movements and the firing and replacement of several Generals in part: ".I suppose Rosecrans Army is at Murfreesboro yet. You see they cashiered and dismissed Porter. They ought to do the same with Buell or shoot him. When such traitors are out of the Army we shall do better. I believe Rosecrans to be a true good officer. I understand he has dismissed a many good officers and I hope he will continue to do so until the last sympathizers are out of the Army. It is reported that Burnside has resigned and Hooker has taken his place. Hooker is not ably as good an officer as Burnside but it seems bad to be changing Commanders so much. Matters do not look encouraging yet I believe we shall succeed by and by." Condition: weak folds with minor fraying at the top margin that affects parts of two letters. Overall very good.<br/><br/> unknown books
18642828001864. unbound. very good. Autograph Letter Signed. 8vo. 2 pages Caledonia Wisconsin December 24th 1864 to A.B. Jackson Registrar at Menasha in part: "I received your letter enclosing one from Mr. Edwards stating as I understood it that there was some fraud about the warrant paid by my father James Wright for the West ½ of the South West Lot of Sec. 14. In reply I have to state that the said James Wright is now in the Government Service at last accounts was at Duvall's Bluff Arkansas. I will write at once to him but it is very doubtful if my letter reaches him as the mail to that place is very irregular. If it does not reach him he will give immediate attention to the subject when he returns in February - which is I think the best that can be done under the circumstances." Three tiny stain marks at the top otherwise in very good condition.<br/><br/> A Wisconsin Military Officer is suspected of Fraud in regards to his Land Grant Application.<br/><br/> unknown books

186110065752 folded and docketed uniform manuscript resolutions mostly 4to typically written on one side and docketed on the back includes a contemporary cover sheet that originally held resolutions together two small pictures of Lincoln and Grant included housed in modern photo album. A few with folds at the top and minor chips normal aging and browning; overall in very good condition. These resolutions were passed by the Public Aid Committee which was created by the Newark City Council at the beginning of the Civil War to advance money to soldiers' families. These resolutions would then be given to a clerk for filing. This clerk seems to have had strong anti war or Copperhead sympathies and gradually began editorializing as he wrote out the docketing on the back of each folded document. He titled the 31 March 1862 resolution "For aid to families. in the war to abolish slavery." On 2 September it was "the war for the ruin of the country." On 26 November it became "the Negro War" and 2 December it says "the Army of Abm. Lincoln to subjugate the Southern States." This obscure city clerk took things a step further after the Emancipation Proclamation. On 4 February 1863 he titled a resolution "In aid of families of volunteers. in the Nigger War!" He must have been spoken to after this remark because he drifts into sarcasm rather than outright racism. In a later resolution he states "for the benefit of our coloured fellow citizens of African decent." However by 14 September 1863 he was back to his old tricks again referring to "Lincoln's nigger war." He continued his editorializing through June 1864. These docketed resolutons were found in the included wrapper on which a a Union soldier later wrote: "The name if it can be found out of the miserable traitor who booked the within resolutions should go down in posterity as one who should receive the contempt of loyal men." The name of that Union soldier appears to be Major W. W. Morris. books

1863WRCAM26245London: Printed by Harrison and Sons 1863. No. 2 1863: 17pp. No. 14 1864: 37pp. Gathered signatures stitched separately. Overall very good partially untrimmed. The Confederacy wanted Britain's recognition as a separate and independent country. Britain which relied heavily on Southern cotton naturally favored the Confederacy secretly helping to arm warships but was reluctant to grant official recognition. James Mason was selected as the Confederate representative to England and his mission was clear. These documents reflect his attempts to secure recognition for the Confederacy as well as other concerns. <br> <br> NORTH AMERICA. No. 2. 1863. CORRESPONDENCE WITH MR. MASON RESPECTING THE BLOCKADE AND RECOGNITION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES. Contains much information on ships entered and cleared at blockaded ports as well as a letter subtly asking the British government to please continue trade despite the blockade. Also has copies of correspondence between Mason and Earl Russell in which Mason openly tries to convince Russell to recognize the Confederacy Russell seems unreceptive refusing personal interviews and writing terse responses. <br> <br> NORTH AMERICA. No. 14. 1864. CORRESPONDENCE WITH MR. MASON COMMISSIONER OF THE SO-STYLED CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. Correspondence about various matters: sinking of a steamer in British waters removal of British consuls etc. An extract from the Richmond Whig shows the frustration felt by the Confederacy: "to be sure we know that we have no national existence outside of our own fond imaginations and that in the eyes of Great Britain we are still part and parcel of the United States and destined for all she cares to remain so forever." Printed by Harrison and Sons unknown books
1864WRCAM15984London 1864. 32pp. Printed self-wrappers. Some wear to extremities pages loose else very good. An interesting British document reprinting communications between the Secretary of the Admiralty Mr. Hammond and members of Parliament on what to do regarding the Confederate prize-vessel Tuscaloosa originally the American vessel Conrad while docked at the Cape of Good Hope. Ultimately the Duke of Newcastle instructed the Governor of the Cape to restore the Tuscaloosa to the Confederate lieutenant who last commanded her. A controversial decision considering the British government's failure to officially recognize the Confederate States of America. An intriguing example of British sympathy for the Confederate cause. unknown books
1863WRCAM45995N.p. but possibly Williamsport Pa 1863. Broadside 10 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches. Minor wear and soiling. One small tear in left margin. Very good plus. A vivid Civil War broadside showing the immediacy of the news from the front as well as how garbled or false information was disseminated. The headlines further trumpet: "It is occupied by the 144th Pa. Vols. - The 'Old Flag' that Anderson was compelled to lower floating on the ruins! - Glorious news from Gens. Meade and Butler! - Contemplated movement on Richmond." Despite resumption of a terrific bombardment of Fort Sumter on October 26 the fort did not fall to Federal forces. Thousands of rounds were dropped on the fort but it stayed in Confederate hands another sixteen months until evacuated on February 13 1865. It certainly was not occupied by the 144th Pennsylvania Volunteers and Major Anderson's "Old Flag" did not fly over the fort until two hours before the death of Abraham Lincoln on April 15 1865. The whole second column of text concerns events in the Western Theater Georgia Tennessee and Alabama and the progress of the Army of the Potomac in Virginia: <br> <br> ".General Meade was on the march for the city of Richmond under circumstances which rendered it almost certain that he would capture it. The report of the evacuation of Richmond.is of course all bosh.The details of the great movement now being executed I am not allowed to telegraph you.the objective point of the combined command is the city of Richmond." unknown books
1862WRCAM56479Wilmington N.C. 1862. Broadside 15 1/4 x 11 inches printed in three columns. Moderate toning and foxing. Four-inch closed vertical tear at bottom edge no loss of paper. Very good. A Confederate newspaper extra reporting the failure of the Union's initial Peninsular campaign around Independence Day in 1862. From March to around the time of this newspaper extra General George McClellan launched an offensive campaign against northern Virginia which was intended to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. Facing a series of crafty Confederate generals including John B. Magruder Joseph E. Johnston J.E.B. Stuart Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee McClellan's tactics proved fruitless in capturing Richmond and he was eventually recalled by President Lincoln to prepare for the Second Battle of Bull Run the next month. This newspaper extra issued by the Wilmington North Carolina DAILY JOURNAL reports the "Yankees in Full Retreat" after receiving news from "a couple of free negroes" that McClellan's forces were headed north. There are also reports of deserters from McClellan's army being captured detailed passages on the path of the Union army's retreat and reports on the movements of other military units. In addition the text relates news on Confederate attempts to gain "early recognition of the Southern Confederacy" from European powers noting that Confederate diplomat John Slidell had "indicated the immediate prospect of recognition by the French Government." There are also passages covering Confederate wounded captured Union soldiers from the 7th Indiana the Confederate government's support "in comfortable quarters of some eleven hundred lazy runaway negroes" and more much of which is reported from other sources. No copies of this extra reported in OCLC. A rare Confederate newspaper extra recording mostly positive results for the Confederacy during a particularly good summer for the southern cause. unknown books
