186327010Washington: Coastal Survey Office 1863. Folding map 24 x 25 1/2 inches mounted in twenty-four sections on linen. Original card covers with printed paper label. Contemporary ownership inscription on label. Light wear. Minor foxing. Rare field operations map of Mississippi.<br/> <br/> This rare Civil War map was created by the Coast Survey office the main cartographic arm of the Union Army for use in the Union campaigns into the South. This copy was owned and used by Colonel Joseph Corson Read the Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland. In November 1863 the Union armies captured Chattanooga the "Gateway to the South" enabling them to stage a prolonged offensive into the Southern heartland. Grant moved very quickly to overwhelm the South and immediately ordered Sherman to move against Atlanta and its vital railroad supply lines at the same time as he sent Nathaniel Banks to attack Mobile Alabama. Joseph Corson Read 1831-1889 was one of the first wave of men to take up Abraham Lincoln's call for volunteers to put down the rebellion in April 1861. He remained continuously in the army serving first on General Jesse Reno's staff and rising to the rank of Chief Commissary for the Army of the Cumberland commanded by George H. Thomas. Thomas was impressed with Read and on May 1 1864 with the spring campaign against Atlanta imminent Thomas named Read Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland in the Field. This meant that although Colonel A.P. Porter was the Army's overall chief Read would serve alongside Thomas in the field and had the responsibility to supply the entire army as it moved South. During the long and arduous Atlanta campaign he was the man on the ground making the supply side work. Read developed a close relationship with Thomas one with both personal and professional aspects. This map scaled at ten miles to the inch shows Mississippi and Alabama from Jackson to Montgomery starting about fifty miles north of those two points and continuing south to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Rivers roads and rail lines and all the towns they connect are detailed with waterways printed in blue. Two of the railroads the Mobile & Pensacola and the Mobile & Great Northern construction and removal dates during the war. An important map that would have been used by the Union Army in the field specifically by the Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland.<br/> <br/> Library of Congress Civil War Maps 260.1; Library of Congress Railroad Maps 140.

164721028431647. London: n.p. 1647. Small 4to. Disbound pp. 2 6; a little toned a few stains to title light dampstaining to outer margin of A1-2 but overall a very good and crisp copy.First and only edition very rare of this denunciation of the abuses of the Parliamentarian County Committees in Wales issued at the height of the Civil War.By the summer of 1647 one surviving copy is dated in manuscript ""1 July"" the war had dragged on for nearly five years. Parliament was steadily gaining the advantage largely through the network of County Committees manned with loyal supporters. These officials collected the taxes that sustained the war effort requisitioned horses and supplies for the army and carried out Parliament's decrees. Their growing power - together with the ever-heavier burden of taxation to maintain the army - provoked widespread resentment and in turn revived support for the Royalist cause.This pamphlet sets out the grievances against the Parliamentarian committees in Glamorgan South Wales and denounces their exactions and abuses. The rising it encourages was less an expression of loyalty to Charles I than a reaction to Parliament's oppressive rule. Indeed it contains no Royalist propaganda and no expressions of loyalty to Charles. Instead it reads as a near-anarchic denunciation of arbitrary power itself of its arrogance remoteness and disregard for the people.ESTC R201640 recording only five copies BL National Library of Wales Cardiff Central Library Oxford Folger. unknown

William Springer an Illinois lawyer refused to pay on earnings from his law practice. Eventually his real property was seized and sold to the government to satisfy the arrearage.
