Letter from a sailor who is trying to get his Land Grant application to Wisconsin but he can't raise the $11.00 application fee on his ship. In part: "I received the papers alright and I signed an affidavit before my Commanding Officer - and I signed them and sent them off but could not get $11.00 aboard of the boat. The Captain signed them also. Write to my wife and have her send the eleven dollars down to Menasha before the 20th of September. I was transferred from the 18th Wisconsin Infantry Co. into the United States Navy as I suppose they could get Soldiers easier than they could get Sailors.

H10772Very Good. Quarto half black leather marbled boards title stamped in gilt on spine. Offprints from the Reichs-Gesetz-Blatt of 1856 and 1878 bound together paginated 209-249; 177-209 very good light rubbing to leather. Important pair of treaties: the Paris 1856 treaty effectively concluded the Crimean War. The Western European powers pledged to maintain the integrity of the Ottoman Empire and restored the respective territories of the Russian and the Ottoman Empires to their prewar boundaries. They also neutralized the Black Sea for international trade: it was a huge setback for Russian influence in the region. The Treaty of Berlin 1878 came at the conclusion of the Russo-Turkish war and was a remapping of the Balkans pushing back Russian claims and forcing the Ottomans to accept the loss of major European holdings in a plan largely orchestrated by Bismarck. From 1849 to 1918 the Reichsgesetzblatt legal abbreviation: RGBl. was the official publication organ of the Imperial Patents Laws Regulations and State Treaties of the Austrian monarchy--at the time of these treaties under Franz Josef I. Although not stated owned by Ulysses Grant-Smith 1870-1959 a lifelong diplomat who was stationed in Vienna as part of the American Legation through WWI and who was later the American signatory of the US-Hungarian Peace Treaty of 1921 which had to be done separately because the US senate refused to be part of the Treaty of Trianon. These two treaties would have been good historical preparation for his approach to the 1921 treaty. unknown

Engraved frontispiece 9 maps 8 folding and one vignette. 1 vols. 8vo. Best account of the Braddock disaster in which half of his 1400 British troops and 63 of 89 officers were killed under the devastating fire from some 900 French Canadians and Indians hidden on either side of a heavily wooded ravine. With no experience of open fighting Braddock refused to heed the advice of the provincials to take the shelter of the trees and for over three hours the columns of redcoats presented easy targets for the enemy. Braddock himself was mortally wounded and tradition has it that on his deathbed he murmured "We shall better know how to deal with them another time." This account also issued as the first publication of the Pennyslvania Historical Society contains several journals of the expedition and other papers. Sargent's long introductory memoir "goes over the whole ground of the rival territorial claims of France and England and the whole narrative including that of the battle itself is given with care and judgment" Justin Winsor Narrative and Critical History of America V: 575.

186237905Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1862. Handbills. 12mo. Very good to near fine. One is 4-punched at left edge not affecting text. Unusual gathering of three Wisconsin-related "General Orders" issued in 1862 1863 and 1864 all issued from the Adjutant General's Office at the War Department in Washington DC as follows: General Orders No. 217 30 December 1862 1p Notes three miscellaneous actions for three individual servicemen the last of which involves 2d Lieutenant Samuel B. Morse of the 7th Wisconsin Volunteers who resigned before the order dismissing him. General Orders No. 11 10 January 1863 1p dismissing Colonel R.C. Murphy of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers from the Army "for allowing his command to be surprised at Holly Springs Mississippi without having taken proper steps to protect his post or repulse the enemy and his troops having been found in bed at the time of attack." General Orders No. 211 15 June 1864 1p text of a Congressional resolution "tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red River by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown
