On September 12 their army and navy attempted a combined assault on Baltimore. Thanks in part to a storm likely a hurricane that hit the fleet right after the burning of Washington and in part due to the foray into Alexandria the Americans had just enough time to strengthen critical American defenses and organize resistance. The bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor failed and General Ross was killed by an American sniper. The British retreat provided America with a major morale boost after the destruction of Washington.</p> books

186713090Morrison WI 1867. Broadside 26.75 x 20.25 inches printed on thin paper. Old folds some creasing edges occasionally a bit frayed with a few small nicks or tears a couple of minor losses along folds. Overall very good condition. A striking and seemingly unique surviving broadside advertising a January 26 1867 lecture by Clara Barton entitled "War & Incidents of Army Life" part of a popular post-Civil War lecture series she delivered across the United States. Barton spent two years touring and recounting her battlefield experiences which helped popularize her and fund her subsequent efforts to locate missing soldiers. The present lecture was delivered to the Young Men's Literary Association of Morrison Wisconsin at the local Concert Hall. In addition to the bold title containing the relevant information on the lecture and the information on obtaining tickets at the bottom much of the lower portion of the broadside prints several laudatory "Recommendations" from various entities in Indiana and other locations in Wisconsin including a January 7 1867 review from The Milwaukee Sentinel. Noted temperance lecturer John B. Gough also praises Barton's lecture stating that "I never heard anything more touching more thrilling in my life."<br /> <br /> Typographically the broadside is interesting for employing several sizes of fonts likely wooden type especially near the bottom of the Recommendations section where the printers needed to reduce the size of the font to fit in the entirety of a quote from The Daily Wisconsin as well as a line in the smallest font from the Concert Hall promoter noting that the foregoing group of recommendations is "enough" and praising Barton for her "noble character which she has won by her efforts to ameliorate the sufferings of our sick and disabled soldiers."<br /> <br /> Clara Barton 1821-1912 was a noted educator and humanitarian who helped distribute needed supplies to the Union Army during the Civil War and later founded the American Red Cross. Barton garnered nationwide recognition for her efforts during the war and quickly became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." After the war Barton's lecture tour brought her in contact with other notables of the day including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and also Frederick Douglass who involved her in the suffrage and civil rights movements respectively. In the Fall of 1866 Barton began to lecture on her Civil War experiences in lyceum halls churches town halls and schools. Though she never felt comfortable in front of an audience wherever she spoke Barton was well received. Her contemporary biographer Percy Epler wrote that "a tear-stained multitude thronged everywhere to hear her" as she had made it her mission to show not "the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how while they march on.some one must follow closely in their steps crouching to the earth faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows."<br /> <br /> From 1866 through 1868 Barton delivered over 200 lectures throughout the northeast and midwest regarding her Civil War experiences. She shared platforms with other prominent figures including the aforementioned Douglass as well as Ralph Waldo Emerson William Lloyd Garrison and Mark Twain. She often earned $75 to $100 per lecture. Original broadsides advertising her lectures especially of this size are exceedingly rare to say the least. We could locate just a single result in auction records of a much smaller example and OCLC reports just one institutional holding of any Barton lecture broadside again much smaller for an 1867 event in New Haven located at the Library of Congress. unknown

Presumably a Republican attack on the then-gubernatorial candidate a Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice. ".the creed which Judge Woodward's party has adopted is servile unpatriotic and disorganizing. the Judge's position in regard to the great issues now before the country is faithless inconsistent and wholly delusive." The writer then critiques Woodward's famed 1860 speech criticizing "The Falseness of its Statements in regard to the Abolition of Slavery by the North" "Judge Woodward's Bible Views of Slavery" and "The Right of Secession as Claimed by Judge Woodward." Woodward critic of course does not let him forget his infamous statement that "We must reassert the rights of the slave-holder." Not in Sabin. Interesting and unusual. N.p. paperback

1861D11147Westhampton likely Massachusetts 1861-1864. Ephemera. Fine. Group of 13 manuscript letters black ink in tidy cursive addressed to "Hattie" who is perhaps in Springfield. Most are signed "Mother" one the last and only letter in pencil is signed "Sister Anna" and all are dated 22 April 1861 - "Sabbath Eve" May 1864 and located in Westhampton. A few are somewhat faint but still legible -- otherwise condition is fine. <br/><br/>An interesting group of letters quintessential for their reports on the health of seemingly everyone in town and for their concern with the American Civil War. "I am taking a great interest in war matters feel curious to read the daily paper think the North will come off conquered and I hope without shedding Oceans of blood" she remarks in the earliest letter in the group. Some remarks from later letters include: "We heard that Bolton and Alvin Clark were sick at Annapolis and that Henry Smith is a prisoner at Richmond. Mother England blusters about terribly doesn't she Hope she isn't going to declare war against us."; "Our people have had no letters since the battle are expecting some daily. Edward Coyt of Huntington was one of the wounded. After the battle of Roanoke he wrote to his folks he'd seen enough of war."; "Our men A. P. Bridgman Davis Burt Bartholt Bissell Edward Delany Charles Land Henry Sulliver a fellow living at Capt Custs and an Irishman. So you see we send seven married men."; "Frank Hule was killed in the battle at Murfeesboro Dec 31st by the first fire of the Rebs"; plus a few more comments and names. Mother seems to know everyone in town and some recurring surnames include King Montague Bissell Wright Chapman Davenport Parsons Land or Laud Burt Edwards Jewett Clark Hooker Hubbard Lyman. unknown books
