1863WRCAM54050N.p. likely Beaufort S.C. 1863. 3pp. Single folded sheet. Soft vertical center crease light wrinkling. Clean and very good. An interesting circular written by Union Brigadier General Rufus Saxton and printed on a military field press laying out the procedures for prosecuting "all disputes and criminal matters which may arise on the plantations" under his authority. At the time he issued this decree Saxton was the military governor of the Department of the South. Later during his term Saxton would direct the recruitment of the first regiments of black soldiers to serve in the Union Army. The present circular sought to "promote peace and good order among the residents upon Plantations in this Department." Perhaps bringing order and justice to the plantations was Saxton's first step towards recruiting the slaves on those plantations to fight against their captors.

1864WRCAM53096Richmond 1864. Broadside 18 x 12 inches. Printed in three columns. Previously folded with a couple small separations along old fold lines. Light toning and foxing. About very good. A very scarce and quite interesting broadside circular printing of the act which allowed slaves and free blacks to be used in certain tasks by the Confederate Army during the Civil War as well as instructions for the conscription and induction of those men into the armed forces. The Confederacy was loath to arm any of its slave population but by 1864 could not spare any further manpower from their infantry to perform menial tasks and the government therefore passed a law allowing slaves to be used "in certain capacities" such as the construction of fortification the production of arms and the transport of materiel. The first column of this broadside comprises a full printing of that law while the remainder sets forth the rules for the impressment of slaves into military service for their care while in service and for the compensation of their owners. <br> <br> A fascinating piece that lays bare the desperation of the Confederacy for labor and supplies in early 1864. Not in Parrish & Willingham. unknown books

Incredibly scarce report filed by the Committee on the Territories on behalf of the citizens of West Florida requesting payment for losses endured in Florida by U.S. troops. The United States entered into a treaty with Spain during the cessation of Florida which detailed mutual claims against each other and payment for losses. While some of these claims were settled the Spanish citizens of Florida claim that the U.S. have used semantics to avoid full settlement specifically for damages sustained during Jackson's expedition against Pensacola in 1814.

189241503Mecklenburg VA 1892. Sewn gatherings disbound with remanants of perished leather spine. Wear and soiling throughout; some chips occasionally causing minimal textual loss; last leaf quite ragged to inner margin significantly affecting final third of text. Writing in general legible and neat. Good condition withal. 29 leaves of lined wove paper including 4 half-leaves. Lacking first leaf pp 1 - 2 of lecture notes; 4 stubs. Inconsistently hand-numbered throughout.Manuscript notes in ink and/or pencil to recto and verso of leaves with varying amounts of writing per pg. ~1500 words. Some intratextual hand-drawn illustrations and graphs to lecture notes. 11-1/2" x 7-1/2" <br/><br/>A notebook that appears to have been intended for lecture notes kept by Presley Llewellyn Hinton Jr. during a science class at Randolph-Macon College from 1858 - 59 but that was employed for several different purposes by other members of his family during the same period and throughout the Civil War. The Hintons were slaveholders owning at least 13 slaves according to the 1860 slave schedule and longtime prominent members of the community. The lecture notes which comprise hand-numbered pp 3 - 30 and 51 - 55 are from lectures taught by B. Puryear Professor of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy; subjects covered include fairly introductory material regarding dew evaporation electricity elements of chemistry hydrogen and nitrogen gas carbon etc. and the like. Following the first section of lecture notes three pages by one of the Hinton parents we speculate Mrs. Hinton detail Presley’s service in the Confederate Army Company A 3rd Virginia Cavalry as well as that of his brother William from 1861 - 63 largely their leave-taking and visits home: “My Son William Emmet Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 14th day May 1861 to join his company Mecklinburg Cavalry at Lockets Store near Lombardy Grove. Many relatives and friends met . . . to take leave of their dear sons relations & friends who consented with cheerfulness to leave their quiet and happy homes to battle against our enemy the Yankee who are worse than Indian savages Yea to go through all the hardships privations difficulties and attending a camp life. . . . My Son Presley Lewellyn Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 26th day May 1861 . . . He would have gone on with his brother William but he was not prepared as he had just returned from the University of Virginia . . .” Approximately 15 remaining pages interrupted by the last section of Presley’s lecture notes are filled with a detailed account record of tuition charged for teaching the daughters and some sons of local families which we speculate was kept by the boys’ sister primarily because of the type of lessons taught. These included piano lessons worsted work and samplers grammar arithmetic geography the history of England and philosophy; fees for ink copy books and other supplies are also included. Another account record follows for bonds of some sort in the same hand as other and a love letter from Presley to a Miss Annie fills both recto and verso of the final leaf. Interspersed with these and sometimes written over top in pencil are the youthful scribblings and pencilled math work of James H. Palmer also of Mecklinberg dated 1892; he appears to have used the manuscript for scrap paper. All in all a uniquely faceted manuscript illustrating many aspects of the life of one Virginia family during the Civil War as well as the paper shortages that likely occasioned such thrift. hardcover books

Wright a Union volunteer from Somerset Iowa. Missouri was a highly-contested border state with both Union and Confederate supporters. It sent soldiers and arms to both sides was represented with a star on both flags maintained dual governments and featured a vicious intrastate war within the larger national war. William Wright's journal of his service in the first year of the war ably communicates the dangerous and unprecedented nature of guerilla warfare in the western theatre of the Civil War. <br> <br> Wright 1837-1905 enlisted in the 3rd Iowa Infantry Regiment in May 1861 responding to President Lincoln's first call for troops. Much of the diary centers on the months from July to September 1861 as his unit traveled back and forth across Missouri facing a guerrilla enemy with no clear battle lines. Unlike the large armies and massive battles further east Wright's regiment was frequently on the move by rail and foot often splitting off into companies squads and scouting parties prone to ambush by raiding parties with small detachments occasionally getting picked off by snipers. In addition to Confederate soldiers Wright's regiment also faced bands of pro-Confederate irregulars known as "bushwhackers." The war in Missouri was continuous from 1861 to 1865 with conflicts throughout the state. There were over 1200 distinct engagements in the state during the war; only Virginia and Tennessee exceeded this total. <br> <br> Wright is generally stoic throughout though he does admit to occasional homesickness and is justifiably distressed over a case of ague that comes on in August. When not drilling or recounting recent attacks Wright frequently mentions attending church prayer meetings and Bible study though he does not seem overly picky as to where. He attends a Catholic mass and a Presbyterian service on the same day and on another attends Episcopal Methodist and Presbyterian services on the same day. <br> <br> The diary begins on May 27 1861 as Wright puts his affairs in order and travels to Indianola where he "was sworn into the state service for three years" after which he proceeds with other recruits to Keokuk Iowa a major staging area for Union forces. His unit is officially sworn into "United States service" on June 8 receive their rifles on the 23rd and then assemble in camp on the 26th. The next day they receive word that they are heading to Missouri in the morning: "we received orders to cook enough provisions for three meals the drum would beat at 3 in the morning at which time we were to pull up stakes." They march to the docks board several steamships and head south on the Mississippi to Hannibal Missouri. Upon disembarking Wright comes across two men taken prisoner by the home guard "and I had for the first time the privilege of seeing a secession prisoner." <br> <br> The next day July 1 they board trains and head west: "I was surprised to see so many fine residences also quite a number of slaves were to be seen at work in the fields who cheered lustily as we passed.We passed several encampments of soldiers on the way who were all in good spirits. We hauled up at Utica in Livingston Co. slept in the cars." After a couple of weeks of false alarms of pending attack mysterious shots at night low rations and rumors of murdered soldiers the company was on edge. On July 18 Wright and nine other men were detailed to guard the railroad station in Utica after reports "that the enemy was going to burn it." During their watch "a spy came in with the information that from 500 to 800 men on Spring Hill were making preparations for an attack at the bridge and station simultaneously." No attack materialized however: "Daylight came and no enemy we were disappointed as we were well prepared for them and would have been pleased to have seen from 50 to 100 make their appearance." <br> <br> Tensions continued in a similar vein for the next few weeks as they shifted back east to Kirksville. Wright reports of all-night guard duty multiple nights in a row and frequently going without meals due to inadequate rations. On August 19 they received warning of a pending enemy attack which ends up as a small skirmish: "Six of our scouts were surrounded by 25 of the enemy. They killed Corporal Dix. The others made their escape after killing 3 or 4 of the enemy." Not long after they start heading south and while passing through Shelbina Missouri three of their men were shot one died by an enemy squad hidden in the brush. Circling back to Shelbina to rest they find the town partially destroyed by Rebel forces. Wright's unit then finished the task which he describes neutrally: ".the boys were allowed to go where they pleased and they took and destroyed ev'y thing in town. When ever a chicken was heard to crow a dozen men were ready to start for the place. Chickens and pigs were killed women's dresses taken children's playthings &c &c." Passing through Macon Missouri Wright and his comrades "dropped into a Brewery. There were quite a number of the boys there. Some of them were trading their shoes some shirts and others drawers for beer. I do not know whether they were their own clothes or whether they had stolen them. Saw three fights today." <br> <br> Heading west just outside of Kansas City they notice enemy scout activity. After more than two months of skirmishing and sniping the regiment saw its first pitched battle. On September 17 "3 p.m. we started from Liberty about 600 strong in the direction of the river. The enemies scouts were retreating as we went forward. The enemy killed 4 and wounded one of our men. About 4 o'clock we were fired into by the enemy which was the first that we knew of their position. We were within about 100 yds of their lines when we were fired on.We fought about an hour and 20 minutes when we were ordered to fall back as they had three men to our one and were flanking us. Four of the artillery men were kiled & four wounded which did not leave enough to man the gun and she was only fired three times when we had to haul her back by hand.we had 17 killed about 60 wounded and a number missing.it is reported that there were over 100 enemy killed and wounded." This was the Action at Blue Mills Landing also known as the Battle of Liberty. The next day Wright wrote "I have been helping to make coffins for our killed 12 bodies which will be buried in the evening.The most shocking scene that I have ever witnessed is one of the dead men whose face has been skined said to have been done by his brother-in-law." <br> <br> Wright had reported on his unit's tendency to loot earlier in the diary and now makes an interesting clarification: "When in the free State of Kansas the boys behaved very well. But since we have again come into Mo. they have began their old tricks. Last night there were quite a number of chickens stolen and a calf taken out of a man's dooryard." Perhaps in fairness to the Iowa troops they regularly went without rations or were given only flour and because they were often in hostile territory they rarely had permission to hunt or fish for their meals. <br> <br> Until this point Wright does not mention any direct encounters with African Americans but on October 18 as they depart Kansas City he notes they ".took three slaves with us who had run away from Lexington." Upon reaching Quincy Illinois "Will Newton and I went down town and got lodging for the three darkys who came from Kansas City. We left them with the supt. of the Colored Peoples Church." <br> <br> For the remainder of this diary Wright was stationed at the Benton Barracks in St. Louis; some of these entries are slightly out of order chronologically as though Wright inadvertently skipped pages. On December 1 he writes "In the evening one of Co. K was killed by accident. One of his comrades cocked his gun not knowing that it was loaded and shot the top of his head off. It was the most horrible sight that I have yet seen." Not much else happens until the end of the month when they get word that they'll be heading back out soon and start prepping their equipment. Leading up to Christmas he notes many of the men planning a big Christmas dinner: "For my part do not feel like celebrating the day. Think it will not pay here will pass it by as other days for this time." <br> <br> Wright's final entry on Christmas Day is also introspective. Having reflected on his past seven months in the army the things he has seen and how frequently he has been spared he concludes: "I do not like a sol. life. Would be far from following it from choice but believe that it is my duty as we are engaged in a just and noble cause trying to sustain one of the best governments ever formed. Co. G is not drunk to night but slightly inebriated." <br> <br> At the end of the diary Wright has transcribed a letter from a rebel which gives a sense of some the psychological warfare practiced during the conflict. Dated at Fillmore Missouri July 18 1861 it reads in part: "I hope when this letter comes to hand you may have time to read it. And I think that I shal be nearby. And then as soon as it is red I shal be near enough to nock your life out of you. I hope the time may come when the flag of the fifteen glorious states may fly over the free and independent.Instead of one thousand of us there is about 8000 of us and we are coming there as soon as we can get there." <br> <br> Wright reached the rank of sergeant in 1863 and survived to muster out in 1864. After the war he married raised a family and farmed in Kansas and Nebraska. <br> <br> A detailed and informative diary of the brutal and chaotic early months of the Civil War in Missouri. hardcover books

Rose a Democrat from Champion New York whose political views during the war coincided most strongly with those of the Peace Democrats or “Copperheads.” Although Rose never self-identifies as such only as a staunch Democrat he voted for Horatio Seymour in the 1862 election for NY governor makes no secret of his loathing for abolitionists lauds the possibility of Lincoln’s capture by Confederate troops and resents a war fought to “free the n----- — it takes more men than there were negroes what works” July 19 1864. His diaries offer a near-daily if often terse portrayal of the experience of a Northern Democrat during and after the Civil War including not only notes on the progress of the war drafts and draft riots local and national politics and the deaths of friends and fellow townsfolk but also his move to Iowa following the war and efforts to homestead there his life back in Champion after the death of his wife his attendance at Spiritualist meetings and disdain for Adventists readings and his many jobs social life successes and lack thereof with women book purchases accounting and more. The diaries begin in 1859 when Rose was a 25-year-old new schoolteacher still working toward getting his teaching certificate doing a variety of additional odd jobs and seemingly more interested in dating the local women than in national events: “Went home with Cor. Hormer and went in she gave me an introduction to ‘for the cool’ confound her” Oct. 21 1859. He notes the 1860 election the next year — “Election day . . . S. A. Douglas Dem A. Lincoln Rep Bell Union Breakenridge Administration seceders. Morgan Gov Rep Kelly Dem. Quite an exciting day. . . . Lincoln Elected” Nov. 6 - 7 1860 — and mentions that one Mr. Winslow a Democrat was elected School Commissioner suggesting that there was perhaps a small concentration of Democrats in the Champion area. By 1862 the war has started to impact him: “Have been roof-boarding. Some towns will have to draft it is expected. A good many have gone to Canada. The war begins to affect sic us here now” Aug 26 1862. That November Rose notes that there has not been “a great turn out at the polls. Will be a close rub voted for Seymour” Nov 4 1862. The next year he comments: “The war progresses about the same turning out the Generals and putting in new ones &c &c. The rebels will gain their independence I guess and that by d___d Republican mismanagement” Feb 9 1863. Shortly thereafter he learns that his brother Arthur “is proclaimed a deserter”: “Harnessed up my colt single and put him on my cutter drove him down to Tylersville. John went down with me saw quite a number there Arthur also. Willard is dead died in hospital of consumption so his Captain wrote . . . Snows P. M. Arthur feels very bad” March 11 1863. In July 1863 Rose reports on the New York City draft riots : “A great riot in N.Y. City on acct. of drafting no call for men but they are giving orders for drafting by number of men a mean miserable proceeding a good many killed and a good deal of property destroyed” July 18 1863 and the next day that “the draft is postponed for the present. I am most afraid that there will be hard times all over” July 19 1863. Nevertheless he places the cause entirely on the Republican party: “A good deal of excitement in Wtn Washington so Warren says. If there are riots & murder & robbing it is the teachings of the Abolition Republican party for they have trampled the Constitution underfoot in more ways than one” July 21 1863. Rose’s views about the Republicans and “shrieking Abolitionists” never waver though he seems to relish debating politics and feels he’s a good ideological counterbalance. Nevertheless as the following passages indicate he remained strictly antiwar/ anti-Republican: - “News to night Greely & old Lincoln’s sec. have been to see Geo. Sanders & others in Canada all rebels and should go over the falls together.” July 21 1864 - “News that Atlanta is taken. I don’t care how soon they wind up the rebels and then return to something else.” Sept 3 1864 - “Staid to Mr. Knowls’s talked politics. He says that we have a king now and that it is all right — is for it until peace is obtained. He is not fit for a republic.” November 17 1864 In a curious precursor to modern politics Rose even notes that “Ohio Penn & Indiana hold their election today. As they go so goes the election next month” Oct. 11 1864. Rose makes little mention of politics after the war and in 1866 moved with his wife and his brother Arthur and his wife to Iowa where they bought 160 acres of land possibly utilizing provisions of the Homestead Act of 1862 cleared it built a house and farmed for approximately 6 years. Research indicates that Rose’s wife and newborn child died in 1872 and that he moved back to Champion shortly thereafter; aside from 1866 the diaries from these years are absent. Rose seems to have continued teaching school both in Iowa and upon his return to New York and also remarried started a cheesemaking business and attended Spiritualist meetings back in Champion as well. All in all a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a Northern Democrat during the Civil War. hardcover books
