188528707New York 1885. Manuscript. Very good condition. A Civil War example of severe PTSD. The Northern general and war hero Brevet Major General Thomas Egan was severely wounded four times during the war. His marriage broke down his only child was taken by his ex-wife to England and he degenerated into alcoholism. After being arrested for public intoxication in early July 1884 he was sentenced to Ward's Island Insane Asylum. This letter is his appeal to Pierrepont to secure his release. The return address is "Wards Island Insane Asylum Hospital Ward 2" which is heartbreaking.<br /> <br /> Egan's argument in the letter refers to Dr. Alex E. Macdonald sic 'the person that pronunced Guiteau sain sic that murdered President Garfield .not legible that Mr. H was insain won't you for the Lords sake see Mayor Grace or the commission and have me discharged shurley sic I deserve better of my country a record second to no soldier on Earth which Genl Grant will certify." Dr. Alex Macdonald was a prominent American physician and psychologist. In 1885 he was a resident physican at the New York City Asylum for the Insane on Ward's Island and would become superintendent the next year. Mr. H may refer to Allan McHale Hamilton who was an expert witness regarding Guiteau Garfield's assassin and pronounced him sane.<br /> <br /> Dr. R. Gregory Lande fittingly noted “The bullets and bombs stopped in 1865 but the social shock waves were just beginning.†As General Egan demonstrated many disabled veterans endured decades of poverty chronic pain and emotional distress long after the guns fell silent. “Down Fame’s Ladderâ€: Brigadier General Thomas W.

1918179031918. Liverpool Education Committee Holt School nursing award certificate 1918 honors women's World War I service through an elaborate visual program centered on a Red Cross nurse. The certificate places nursing within a wider field of women's wartime labor showing smaller portraits of women working in traditionally male occupations around the central nurse figure. Its imagery and Tennyson quotation connect female service to national duty civic recognition and arguments for women's public importance during the final year of the war.<br /> <br /> Holt School. Nursing award certificate. Liverpool: Liverpool Education Committee 1918. Printed and hand-colored certificate. 12 x 17 inches. Blank verso. The design features an 8.5 x 8.5 inch medallion with a Red Cross nurse at center framed by a tree whose branches contain portraits of women at work all enclosed by a bright floral border. Beneath the image appears the Tennyson quotation: "The woman's cause is man's: they rise or sink together dwarfed or godlike bond or free. Yoked in all exercise of noble end." The text states that it was "the fourth certificate awarded by the Liverpool Education Comittee in place of a prize during the great war."<br /> <br /> The certificate belongs to wartime educational culture that publicly acknowledged women's labor while the war accelerated debates over citizenship work and social recognition. Small half-inch tear at margin not affecting text or image; illustration bright and detailed; very good. An attractive World War I certificate preserving how British schools commemorated women's nursing and war work in 1918. unknown

1863196851863. Negro Soldiers Speech of Hon. James S. Rollins of Missouri Delivered in the House of Representatives Feb. 2 1863. Washington D.C.: L. Towers & Co. 1863. 8 pages. 5.5" x 8.5". Rollins was a nineteenth-century Missouri politician and lawyer notable for his role in establishing the University of Missouri. In this speech Rollins while a committed Unionist comes out against black soldiers entering into combat roles in the Union Army. He addresses Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax and is concerned that African Americans desire for vengeance against their Southern oppressors would bring the country to ruin. Rollins' support for the war extended only as far as the maintenance of the Union stating that "whenever it becomes a war of subjugation and of conquest or dwindles into a miserable abolition war to free the slaves of the South. then the sooner it is abandoned the better for the entire country." Despite the dissent of Rollins and the sizable element who shared his views Lincoln other leading Republicans like Speaker Colfax and military brass saw the value in forming African American regiments. In fact not long after the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry Regiment becomes were the first black unit to see combat in the Civil War as well as being the first black regiment organized in a northern state. The regiment served primarily in Missouri engaging the Confederates several times including at the Battle of Honey Springs. This speech is a interesting demonstration of the range of opinion within the Civil War era Republican Party and Unionist side more broadly. This speech has been separated from a larger volume; its binding is intact. Foxing along margins some mild toning. Very good condition overall. unknown
