The Success of Black Troops At Petersburg Virginia Under Butler

186423626"They grinned and pushed on and with a yell that told the southern chivalry their doom they rolled irresistibly over and into the work." CIVIL WAR.Broadside. New England Loyal Publication Society No. 200. Boston Mass. June 27 1864. 1 p. 9 x 10Â¾ in.A New York Tribune reporter praises the performance of the USCT: "I find that in my account of the assault upon the rebel works in front of Petersburg I hardly did the colored troops justice. As before stated they held a position on the Jourdan Point road.They were first directed to assault the earthwork.the charge upon the advanced works was made in splendid style; and as the 'dusky warriors' stood shouting upon the parapet Gen. Smith decided that 'they would do' and sent word for them to storm the first redoubt. Steadily these troops moved on led by officers whose unostentatious bravery is worthy of emulation. With a shout and rousing cheers they dashed at the redoubt. Grape and canister were hurled at them by the infuriated rebels. They grinned and pushed on and with a yell that told the southern chivalry their doom rolled irresistibly over and into the work. The guns were speedily turned upon those of our 'misguided brethren' who forgot that 'discretion was the better part of valor.' Another redoubt was carried in the same gallant style and the negroes have established a reputation that they will surely maintain."With a discussion on using monies gathered from draft exemption payments to give bonuses when recruiting black troops in the South: "as the government will continue to receive exemption money why should it not devote the sums which are likely to be thus gathered to bounties for soldiers white or black enlisting in the South. In that way the ranks could be kept full."With reports on how the Southern planter aristocracy hates Lincoln and Johnson as running mate because both rose through the ranks of the "common" people.Historical BackgroundThe Boston-based New England Loyal Publication Society and the Loyal Publication Society of New York was founded in 1863 to bolster public support by disseminating pro-Union news articles and editorials to newspapers around the country. At first the two groups read newspapers to identify particularly useful articles and editorials and contact the editors to request that additional copies be printed. These items would then be distributed to Union soldiers or to newspapers. As the war progressed the societies began to write and publish their own broadsides.ConditionVery good. Tape 1 inch on verso at horizontal fold some water stains visible mostly from back. Better than it sounds! books

Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon

186122953Showing Union troops arriving in Philadelphia from New Jersey via ferry and marching in formation towards the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon cheered on by Philadelphians. Text at the bottom lists members of the committee and men willing to accept donations for the saloon. This image became a choice souvenir for soldiers passing through Philadelphia. CIVIL WAR.Print. Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon of Philadelphia. James Queen delineator and lithographer. Philadelphia: Thomas Sinclair 1861. In period frame 35 x 29 in. Historical BackgroundThe Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon was organized in South Philadelphia in 1861 by grocer Barzilla S. Brown. He began informally distributing food to Union troops traveling through Philadelphia an important rail and steamer hub. The relief effort became official on May 27 1861. The saloon provided soldiers with food drink stamps and paper and offered traveling troops a place to rest. This initial effort differed in some ways from the later Sanitary Fairs that contributed to the care of sick and wounded soldiers. At this point the civilian members were catering to the needs of healthy new recruits.In September the Refreshment Saloon added a hospital to aid sick and wounded troops. The saloon supported itself through donations of food clothing cash and later through admission cost to view the Confederate navy vessel Ram which was captured in 1863. After providing social and medical services for four years the saloon closed in late 1865.James Fuller Queen 1820-1886 apprenticed to learn lithographic draftsmanship. He drew a large variety of lithographs for large printing houses of Wagner & McGuigan Thomas Sinclair and P. S. Duval. He drew views of buildings cities scenic attractions newsworthy events portraits sheet music covers diplomas illustrations for magazines and other images. He also became an outstanding chromolithographer. His view of the "Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon" is one of Queen's most complex works and perhaps the one for which he is best known. He later drew the United States Sanitary Commission Fair in Philadelphia.Thomas S. Sinclair c. 1805-1881 was born in the Orkney Islands of Scotland and studied lithography in Edinburgh and other cities. He started his own printing firm in Philadelphia in 1838. He was among the first in Philadelphia to experiment with color lithography. From 1854 to 1859 his brother joined him in the firm of Thomas Sinclair & Co. Later his son worked with him in Thomas Sinclair & Son. He published three different hand-colored lithographs by Queen of Brown's Refreshment Saloon and its friendly rival William M. Cooper's Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon in 1861. Thomas Sinclair books
