030043No Binding. Very Good. quarto two pages formerly folded few nicks to edges else in very good clean and legible condition. Cox discusses Adjt. General Lorenzo Thomas' prejudice against Black soldiers: 'My Dear Burt Burr Porter upon the recommendation of Honble D. W. Gooch has been "sent in" with an unqualified endorsement from Mr. Stanton for a Brigadier's nomination. The paper will lodge in the Adjt. Gen. Lorenzo Thomas' Office and will stay there a long time if somebody doesn't hurry it up - Thomas hates Porter because he recommended to Secty Cameron the adoption of the negro as a soldier and wrote him several able letters about it. Porter has now several responsive & laudatory letters from Cameron in his folio. If you could get the letter desired from Gov. Andrew the thing would have an impetus that would be irresistible and then he could get out of this Division & Porter could do the Country splendid service. ." Porter had support from both Cameron and Stanton who endorsed him with "great pleasure and sincerity" but if Burt could get an additional letter of recommendation from Massachusetts Governor Andrew "the thing would have an impetus that would be irresistible." Porter was already putting the Brigade through rigorous training and "it is not a sinecure to be on his staff . I am in fighting condition.". Cox was a Boston lawyer who rose to Major in the Massachusetts Infantry until wounded in Virginia a year later. Porter also a lawyer as well as an adventurous soul who had served in the Turkish Army during the Crimean War was never promoted to General though he was given command of a Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment. After the War he joined the French Army during the Franco-Prussian conflict and was killed leading a French charge against the Germans. The powerful General Lorenzo Thomas ironically was soon sent by the War Department to recruit freed slaves for the Union Army though this letter makes clear his prejudice against Negro troops; later "banished in disgrace" by Secretary Stanton - allegedly for defaming General Sherman as insane - President Andrew Johnson's postwar attempt to replace Stanton with Thomas played a part in his impeachment trial by "radical" Republicans. <br/> <br/> unknown books

192015625Pissburgh: Reed & Witting Company 1920. Decorative Cloth. Very Good. The uncommon 1920 1st edition of this remarkable first-person account of the action on the battlefields of France in 1918 arguably the War's most decisive year from the perspective of a single American machine gunner. THIS COPY IS WARMLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR'S FATHER HERBERT DU PUY WHO HERE STATES THAT "COL. CHARLES M. DUPUY THE AUTHOR DIED ON JANUARY 25 1925 FROM THE AFFECTS OF HIS SEVERE ARMY LIFE. HE WAS BURIED WITH MILITARY HONORS ON JANUARY 28 1925". The father's inscription is clearly a powerful one --if somewhat ambiguous-- and leaves open the possibility that his son died by his own hand having apparently been deeply traumatized by his service. The book is solid well-preserved and VG in its duo-tone cloth with light soiling and scuffing to the the panels. Internally very light soiling to the the endsheets and light minor creasing along a number of the pages. Quarto crisp impressive black-and-white photos thruout complement Colonel DuPuy's text. <br/><br/> Reed & Witting Company hardcover books

1919CAT0119New York: Underwood and Underwood 1919. First Edition. Gelatin silver prints 7 ¾ x 5 ½ inches each on 11 ½ x 7 inch black paper mounts captioned with affixed text. Very Good. Two WWI-era press photographs related to the Negro 15th Infantry Division of the New York National Guard a.k.a. the 369th US Infantry Regiment and their white commander Colonel William Hayward. One photograph shows the division on parade in New York following their return from combat duty in France in 1919 the other is a well-known image of Hayward who organized the all-black unit and served as its leader. Fighting for a record-breaking 191 consecutive days alongside French troops in the trenches the regiment became known as the "Harlem Hellfighters." <br /> <br /> The opportunity for African-Americans to serve in WWI arose from the Selective Service Act of 1917 which drafted all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Special segregated training camps were established and units were formed. The US National Archives states that 200000 African-Americans served in Europe during WWI but only 42000 saw combat. When the 15th Infantry arrived in France in 1918 Hayward was committed to the idea that his unit would fight on the front lines. After General Pershing refused to integrate them with the full US army Hayward pushed for another assignment under French command. Unlike many other segregated divisions in WWI the 15th aka 369th was eventually sent to the trenches. Its members' distinguished service brought honor and fame. Before leaving the US in 1917 the regiment had not been allowed to participate in the New York National Guard's farewell parade. When they returned victorious Hayward ensured they were publicly honored. <br /> <br /> Both with various press stamps to versos. Small closed tear of about a half inch to upper edge of parade picture good overall. Hayward portrait with some rippling at edges very good overall. Underwood and Underwood unknown books
1898List319Massachusetts 1898. The 2nd Massachusetts Volunteers mustered into service in May 1898 and within a month saw significant action in Cuba at the Battle of El Caney. They were one of three volunteer units from Massachusetts to see action on the Santiago Campaign. The regiment was inexperienced - 55% were untrained recruits. The lack of experience combined with their rifles giving off a very visible black smoke led to a heavy casualties in the Battle of El Caney. After an encampment near Santiago de Cuba in which a large number of the soldiers became ill with disease - estimates are as high as 65% - the regiment returned home in August. Historians have noted that soldier demographics changed considerably from the Civil War to the Spanish American war as the smaller number of troops and the lack of a draft led to a more enthusiastic army with higher morale. <br /> <br /> The photographs in this group are interesting as a typological grouping of images of untrained soldiers and also for their historical value as most contain identifications to versos. The highlight of the group is forty-four uniformly mounted portraits of soldiers nearly all identified measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ½ inches each. Other photographs include a large portrait of Captain Frederick E. Pierce with the blindstamp of Goldsmith Studio Springfield Massachusetts and a 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ inch square card of Capt. Pierce in Camp Turner. Also included are two slightly larger photographs on similar mounts. <br /> <br /> Overall an interesting group. Good condition overall with assorted chips and wear. unknown books
535894to. 10 pages rectos only though Gould has sketched a map with troop placements and annotations on the verso of one leaf approximately 1200 words. Folded corners of two leaves chipped some edgewear. Some browning but quite legible throughout. After a quarter century during which time he published a history of his regiment John M. Gould. History of the First-Tenth-Twenty Ninth Maine Regiment; Portland 1871 Gould is still searching for the identity of the Confederate regiment that faced his near the East Woods at Antietam. Reporting to Law the commander of the 4th Alabama Infantry in that bloody battle Gould relates his findings in excruciating detail quoting correspondents from a dozen regiments commanders junior officers and non-commissioned officers from both sides who have given him conflicting reports almost all of which stand at odds with official published reports as to the deployment of their units in the chaos of Hood's counter attack against Hooker's corps that blunted the initial Union assault early on the morning of 17 September 1862. _"It is quite clear that Hooker's fragments did not offer very serious resistance to Hood's advance. As far as the East Wood is concerned the 10th Maine was their first real obstacle . Judge Smith of the 5th Texas writes of the exceedingly severe fight the 1st was having with some Union forces & that both parties were showing their best 'staying qualities.' Then Gen. Hood noticing a force coming out of the East Wood said to Capt. Turner 'You may attend to those people!' I can't understand who this Union force was . this succession of events is extremely puzzling." Gould closes by asking Law not to refer to printed sources all of which he was familiar with but asked for any personal comments on his long commentary. "At present it appears to me that Gordon's Brigade did not follow up Hood sharply or at all & that Ripley & Colquitt replaced Hood but the latter line was considerably south of yours. How does that accord with your idea" In addition to his history of the regiments he served in during the Civil War Gould contributed a number of articles to the "National Tribune" relating to Antietam and corresponded with veterans from both sides as referred to often in this letter seeking information on various controversies surrounding the battle. He later donated hundreds of these letters to the Antietan Battlefield Board. Detailed letters on major Civil War battles by participants even those fueled by recollections shaded by decades of discussion and dispute are uncommon in trade. <br/><br/> unknown books
1890WRCAM52682Chicago: Kurz & Allison 1890. Color lithograph. Image size: 18 1/2 x 25 inches; sheet size: 22 x 28 1/4 inches. Matted to an overall size of 25 x 31 inches. Some moderate chipping and edge tears not affecting image. Reinforced with older tape along top edge. Lightly toned though colors are still strong and fresh. Good plus with wide margins. Suitable for framing. A dramatic rendering of the first major battle in the Civil War to involve African- American troops the attempted storming of a Confederate fort near Charleston South Carolina on July 18 1863. Colonel Robert Gould Shaw was killed along with fifteen other officers and nearly 300 of his men. The print shows the Union troops charging the ramparts of Fort Wagner charging into the oncoming Confederate rifle and cannon fire. A Union officer likely intended to be Shaw stands atop the first rampart sword held high the flag waving boldly next to him. Union ships float off the coast in the background shells bursting above them. <br> <br> Shaw 1837-63 came from a wealthy Massachusetts family noted for upholding reform and abolitionist causes. When the Civil War broke out in 1861 Shaw distinguished himself in combat surviving the bloody battles of Antietam and Cedar Mountain. After the Emancipation Proclamation was passed in 1863 Massachusetts governor John Andrew organized the army's first black volunteer unit the 54th Massachusetts. Despite his initial refusal Shaw was ultimately persuaded by his family to accept the command. Sent to fight in the Union effort to seize the border islands of the Carolina coast in the late spring of 1863 the regiment proved its valor that summer by holding off Confederate troops at James Island South Carolina. "Two days later July 18 1863 on Morris Island Shaw proudly volunteered his regiment to lead the assault on the impregnable Fort Wagner the first step in an offensive on the Confederate stronghold of Charleston South Carolina. When the Fifty-fourth charged the fort 272 were killed wounded or captured. One of those who fell was Shaw leading his African- American troops in battle. Although the assault failed the bravery of the Fifty- fourth proved the ability of black troops and in death the young Shaw was ennobled as a martyr to freedom and as a symbol of enlightened sacrifice" - ANB. The soldiers of the 54th impressed Shaw with their dedication and valor which they demonstrated during the Fort Wagner assault. Shaw was buried with his troops by the Confederates in a mass grave on the site of the assault. <br> <br> Shaw and his troops are the subject of one of the most celebrated works of public sculpture in the United States Augustus St.- Gaudens' Shaw Memorial on the corner of the Boston Common nearest the State House. Shaw's leadership of the regiment is best known to many people today through the film GLORY 1989 which culminates in the attack on Fort Wagner and Shaw's death. A dramatic portrayal of this important historical moment. BLOCKSON 111. Kurz & Allison unknown books
