A special messenger from Fortress Monroe who arrived here to-day announces that flags have been flying at half-mast along the rebel lines for several days and information was received at the fortress that it was in consequence of the death of Jeff Davis."<br /> A source from Richmond stated that Davis had a serious illness and "little hope was entertained of his recovery."

186161812New York: W. Schaus; printed by Sarony Major & Knapp 1861. Second Edition. 59 x 76cm open. 19.5x19cm closed. Tinted lithographic map backed in brown silk in black slipcase with printed paper label. Bookseller's ticket of Rev. A. O. Brickman Baltimore. Two ownership inscriptions of "J. M. Deems Maj. 1st MD Cav" and inscribed "Deems" on the slipcase. Trimmed; splits along half of one horizontal fold; minor stains and discoloration to verso not affecting image which is bright and generally Very Good. Hand-made slipcase worn with portion cut out but with manuscript ownership label intact. <br /> <br /> Uncommon Civil War map used by a distinguished Union Army officer. James Monroe Deems 1818-1901 was a composer and music educator from Baltimore who secured a commission as a major in 1861. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in spring 1863; led the First Maryland Cavalry during the Battle of Gettysburg; retired due to rheumatism in November 1863; and was brevetted Brigadier General in 1867. He likely acquired this map in Baltimore near the beginning of his military career and certainly before his promotion in 1863 given the use of "Maj." in his ownership inscriptions. <br /> <br /> The map itself is the second edition of this design by J. Schedler despite the title it is not a bird's-eye view. The more common first edition has two insets showing the Lower Mississippi Valley and the city of Richmond see Stephenson 17.3. This version has only one inset showing the eastern United States. Stephenson describes this edition as having a Washington DC bookseller's ticket; the present copy has a Baltimore bookseller's ticket instead. <br /> <br /> This copy was mounted for use in the field: it was trimmed down to the neatline the captions removed the image cut up into segments and mounted on linen. The printed label on the slipcase appears to be a portion of the original title. This may have been done by the bookseller Brickman possibly at Deems' request. <br /> <br /> Uncommon. OCLC records about 10 similarly titled maps but few listings distinguish between the first and second editions. STEPHENSON LC Civil War Maps 2nd ed 17.35. 61812. [W.

1906109481906. Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 30 2 pp. frontis illus. First edition. As issued stapled in printed wrappers. Wrappers are toned; some minor soiling to one page opening; vertical creases from the pamphlet having been folded; only traces of foxing. <br /> <br /> An interesting address delivered in Pennsylvania by a former Confederate officer who was present at the Crater. There are surprisingly few Confederates who were eyewitnesses at the Battle of the Crater that wrote about it. A reasonably nice copy of a surprisingly uncommon pamphlet Featherston was captain of Company F 9th Alabama Infantry. This address was delivered at the M. E. Church in Pottsville PA on Wednesday April 18 1906. Two engravings include the frontispiece of the soldiers at the Petersburg mine and depiction of the monument to the 48th at Petersburg on the recto of the last leaf. Laid in but not issued with the pamphlet is tri-fold reproduction of Michler's map of the entrenched lines in the immediate front of Petersburg stamped: "O.D.S.S. Co Petersburg May 24 1906." This copy presented to Mr. Charles A. Black of Petersburg VA by the Survivors Association 48th Regt. Quite rare with only Dornbusch citing it in the standard references. It is cited in Haynes but a search of the Library of Virginia's catalog shows that it is no longer held by the Library. In fact only the Huntington is reporting ownership according to OCLC.

186122953<p>Showing 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.</p> <b>CIVIL WAR.</b>Print. <i>Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon of Philadelphia</i>. James Queen delineator and lithographer. Philadelphia: Thomas Sinclair 1861. In period frame 35 x 29 in. <p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The 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.</p><p>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 <i>Ram</i> which was captured in 1863. After providing social and medical services for four years the saloon closed in late 1865.</p><p><b>James Fuller Queen</b> 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.</p><p><b>Thomas S. Sinclair</b> 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.</p> Thomas Sinclair

First and last leaf detached but present; pages are evenly toned. <br /> <br /> Pamphlet includes a letter by James McKaye reprinted from the New York Evening Post introducing an English translation of Laboulaye's essay "Disunion: Degradation without Remedy" which originally appeared in Paris's Revue Nationale. In it Laboulaye places unsparing blame on the South: "The South has found numerous and skillful advocates in France and England. They have presented her cause as that of justice and liberty. They have proclaimed the right of separation and have not quailed even before the necessity of apologizing for slavery. To-day these arguments begin to loose sic their force. Thanks to a few writers who do not chaffer with. the great interests of humanity—thanks above all to M. be Gasparin light has begun to break forth. We know now what to think of the origin and character of the rebellion. To every impartial observer it is now evident that the wrong lies wholly with the South" p. 10. He points to slavery as the central crux and an issue about which the South is inescapably in the wrong. Sabin 38445. Wm. O. Bryant & Co unknown
