1860369308Charleston S.C.: Evans and Cogswell 1860. Broadside 11-1/2 x 8-1/4 inches. Old folds. Nicely mounted framed and glazed. Broadside 11-1/2 x 8-1/4 inches. One of the earliest Confederate imprints: South Carolina's official act of secession printed for delegates at the secession convention. This first printing of the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession the document which caused the departure of South Carolina from the Union set the nation irrevocably on the path to the Civil War. <br /> <br /> After Lincoln's election South Carolina moved vigorously to follow through its threat to secede from the Union. A secession convention was called and assembled at Charleston on December 20 1860. Their entire business was to debate the issue of secession which they favored overwhelmingly and to settle on the wording of a secession ordinance. Within the day the 169 members of the Convention voted unanimously for the ordinance.<br /> <br /> This is the printing of the ordinance made for the use of the delegates to the Convention. The ordinance was set up in the form of a "reading bill" or "slip bill" familiar to most delegates as the typical form of a legislative bill in working draft with the body of the text in numbered double-spaced lines to facilitate the making of corrections. Following the title given above the text reads:<br /> "We the People of the State of South Carolina in Convention Assembled do declare and ordain and it is hereby declared and ordained That the Ordinance adopted by us in Convention on the twenty-third of May in the Year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred eighty-eight whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified and also all Acts and parts of Acts of the General Assembly of this State ratifying amendments to the said Constitution are hereby repealed; and that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States under the name of 'The United States of America' is hereby dissolved."<br /> <br /> Presumably only several hundred copies of this "slip bill" version of the Secession Ordinance were printed - just enough to distribute to the members of the convention. They were probably printed just before the convention began. Indeed setting and printing it would have taken a few hours at most. After its passage the ordinance would famously be published as a newspaper extra by the Charleston Mercury with the following words in bold below the text of the ordinance: The Union Is Dissolved!<br /> <br /> This is one of four extant examples of the slip bill the others being examples at the Huntington Library Emory University and one in private hands being the example once belonging to Jay Snider sold to him by the William Reese Company in 1997 and resold at the sale of his collection at Christies June 21 2005 lot 165 selling for $66000.

6767CIVIL WAR. ADS. 3pg. August 8 1864. Chattanooga Tennessee. A lengthy autograph document signed Wm. H. Bradbury of Company B of the 129th Illinois Infantry. Because he had been on detached duty clerking for various generals Bradbury lost his official records. This is his sworn statement that he was not a deserter and was owed back pay. He wrote in part: I was regularly detailed by Brig. Gen. R. S. Granger comdg Post at Bowling Green Ky in the early part of December 1862 when my Regt was in Kentucky and belonged to the Army of the Ohio. I was retained as clerk at that Post by the successive Post commandants - Gents Manson and Judah and drew Regimental pay and clothing on Descriptive List and Muster and Pay Roll in the usual manner. In the meantime my Regiment moved gradually into Tennessee and was finally absorbed into the Army of the Cumberland. When the 23rd Corps was reorganized under Maj: Gen: Hartsuff Brig: Gen Judah was assigned to the command of the second Division and took me with him from Bowling Green to Glasgow Ky. I continued with the Division under Brig: Gen Julius White during Burnsides campaign in East Tennessee; and subsequently served with the Chief Quartermaster of the 23rd Army Corps and afterwards with the Disbursing Officer of the Army of Ohio at Knoxville until March 5th or 6th 1864 when I was ordered by Gen Thomas to return to my Regiment which was on its way to Lookout Valley. I accordingly did so. During this time my Regiment was doing Garrison duty at Nashville Tenn: and at my Captains request I reported my whereabouts to him every monthIn the mean time as to my credibility and character I refer to Colonel Benjamin Harrison & many officers that knows me. I also refer to Major R. C. Kise 123rd Ind vol: Infty who is well acquainted with me & the greater part of the facts here stated. Wm. H. Bradbury Co B 129 Ill vols. On the final page are attestations by several adjutant generals including Gates P. Thruston Robert H. Ramsey John Speed and a secretarial signature of Benjamin Harrison; one of the attestations is on behalf of General George Thomas. The document has filing folds and is in very good condition. hardcover
1860CAT0150New York 1860. An unusual image of a Zouave soldier in an outdoor setting holding a horse. During the Civil War roughly 95 Zouave regiments formed adopting the names uni-forms and sometimes fighting styles of the North African Zouave brigades. The bulk - about 70 of the regiments - fought for the Union cause. We were unable to determine anything else about this soldier though the image was found in a New York estate. New York was home to two of the most famous Zouave brigades the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry and the 11th New York Volunteer In-fantry. A nearly fine image with a slight crease housed in a full case. unknown
