Confederate Army Captain F M SherrBiblio.com

1865 & 1890 – Two Reconstruction certificates related to a former Virginia officer who served in the Confederate Army

1890010590Virginia 1890. Unbound. Very good. This lot consists of three items related to former Confederate Army Captain F. M. Sherry: â€œAn 1865 Richmond Loyalty Oath Certificate. The certificate is dated 24 July 1865 and measures 6.25â€ x 4.25â€. It is franked with a 5-cent Internal Revenue Certificate stamp Scott #R24. In signing the document Sherry swore that he would â€œâ€œHenceforth faithfully support protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the union of the States thereunder; and that he will . . . abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves. . .â€ He also swore that he would â€œUphold and defend the Government of Virginia as restored by the Convention which assembled at Wheeling on the 11th day of June 1861.â€ The oath was countersigned by C. P. Bigger â€œNotary Public for the City of Richmond and County of Henrico in the State of Va.â€ An 1890 â€œGrand Monumentâ€ certificate - The certificate is dated 29 September 1890 and measures 9.25â€ x 5.75â€. The certificate which bears a serial number No. 761 was issued by the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument Association of Richmond Virgina recognizing his contribution of ten dollars â€œTo the fund for the erection of a Grand Monument to the memory of the Soldiers and Sailors of the Confederate Army and Navy on Libbyâ€™s Hill Marshall Park Richmond VA. / D. C. Richardson President / Carlton McCarthy Secretary / Wm. H. Cullingworth Treasurerâ€ The monument certificate is enclosed in a very scarce advertising cover for the Old Dominion Building & Loan Association that features a â€˜picture frame collarâ€™ surrounding the 2-cent Washington stamp Scott #220 that was used for postage. It bears a Richmond duplex postmark. F. M. Sherry a Richmond citizen served as Captain in the Confederate Army specifically in the defense of his city while assigned to George Washington Custis Leeâ€™s Brigade and later within the Richmond Local Defense Troops during the final collapse of the Confederacy. By December 1863 it had become clear that the Union which had already occupied wide swaths of the Confederacy needed to plan for the likely reintegration into the Union of former members of its armed forces. On the 8th of that month President Lincoln drafted an Oath of Allegiance which if signed by a former rebel would restore their U. S. citizenship and allow them to vote in elections. Following the war his draft was variously modified into loyalty oaths by the reconstituted governments of the Southern states. The document in this lot is Virginiaâ€™s version. The Confederate Monument Association was formed in 1888 to raise a memorial to the Confederate veterans of the Civil War. The monument which featured a Confederate soldier standing atop a Corinthian column was designed by Wilfred Cutshaw to resemble Pompeyâ€™s Pillar in Egypt. It was built at a cost of $30000 and remained in place at the intersection of North 29th Street and Libby Terrace until Democratic Mayor of Richmond Levar Stoney used â€œemergency powersâ€ citing public safety concerns regarding the ongoing nationwide protests and riots that occurred at the height of the â€œcancel cultureâ€ frenzy that followed the death of George Floyd to order the removal of all Confederate monuments from the city in 2020. For more information see â€œF. M. Sherryâ€ at the American Civil War Research Database President Lincolnâ€™s â€œProclamation of Amnesty and Reconstructionâ€ at the Freedmen and Southern Society Project website and Mayor Stoneyâ€™s official decree ordering the removal of Richmondâ€™s Confederate monuments available online at YouTube. Very scarce Virginia Reconstruction era documents. At the time of listing no other examples of them are available for sale in the trade. The Rare Book Hub shows none have appeared at public auction. OCLC shows no Richmond loyalty certificates are held by institutions; however it is likely some are contained within four other personal papers collections at the University of Virginia. It also shows no monument association donation certificates are held by institutions although it is almost certain that at least one is within the associationâ€™s papers collection which is held by the Virginia Historical Society. unknown

19 Days from the Apennines to the Alps; The Story of the Po Valley Campaign

194573287Milan Italy: United States Fifth Army 1945. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. 2 90 4 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Cover has some wear tears chips and soiling. Color endpaper maps. Other illustrations in color. This was printed by Pizzi and Pizio in 1945 in Milan Italy. The Allies invaded mainland Italy in early September 1943 expecting a quick drive north through the Italian peninsula into the "soft underbelly" of Europe and on to the German heartland. Nineteen months later in March 1945 after hard fighting against the Gustav Line in the rugged mountainous spine of Southern Italy the landing at Anzio their advance up the Liri valley to capture Rome and more mountain fighting in the North Apennines the Allies were still south of the Po Valley and the Alps. On 14 April 1945 Truscott's Fifth Army ground attack began. They seized the Pra del Bianco basin and Reno River valley after intense fighting and pushed northward from ridgeline to ridgeline and from valley town to valley town with steady progress. American firepower superiority and aggressive infantry attacks slowly pushed back the Germans. Intense bombing was renewed on 17 April. By nightfall only a rapidly disintegrating Axis force and about thirty miles of relatively flat terrain stood between the IV Corps and the Po River. In the face of superior forces the Germans had little chance of containing the emerging American breakthrough. By 18-19 April the American advance accelerated. As Axis defenses cracked the bulk of the Fifth Army passed west of Bologna and units were repositioned for the final push out of the Apennines. What is now called U.S. Army-North started life as the Fifth Army on 1 December 1942 in Oujda French Morocco. Originally constituted of Army units that participated in Operation TORCH the invasion of North Africa it was the first of the seven field armies the United States organized during World War II. On 12 December 1942 the new Fifth Army was assigned to the the multi-national Allied Force North Africa and Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark wad designated its commanding general. At General Clark's direction at one minute after midnight Zulu Time 5 January 1943 the Fifth Army became an active unit. The Fifth Army's primary mission was to prepare itself for the amphibious invasion of Italy. On 9 September 1943 Fifth Army landed an invasion force on a 20-mile stretch of beach south of Salerno Italy becoming the first American force to invade mainland Europe. At the time of the invasion Fifth Army included the British X Corps and the U.S. 36th 45th and 82nd Divisions. With the objective of capturing Rome Fifth Army pushed northward from Salerno through Naples to the German line anchored on the town of Cassino. The French Expeditionary Corps including Moroccan and Algerian divisions joined Fifth Army doubling its strength. After four costly assaults known as the Battles of Monte Cassino the Fifth Army continued onward toward Rome linking up on the way with other Fifth Army units that had fought their way out of the coastal town of Anzio. Fifth Army entered Rome on 4 June 1944 becoming the first allied force to liberate a European capitol from Fascist control. Germans and Fascist Italians retreated north turning and holding their ground at the Arno River. The pursuing Fifth Army reached the Arno on 18 July and finally crossed it on 2 September. Now into their second winter in Italy the Fifth army got a new commander. Lieutenant General Lucian K. Truscott Jr. became Fifth Army's commanding general on 16 December 1944 and served in that position to the end of the war. By this time Fifth Army had become a truly multi-ethnic command. Besides the Brazilians there were British and French units whose members including New Zealanders Canadians Indians Gurkhas Jews and Arabs from the British Mandate in Palestine South Africans Rhodesians Moroccans Algerians and Sub-Saharan Africans. In smaller units were exiled forces from Poland Greece Czechoslovakia and anti-fascist Italians. From the United States itself came the segregated 92d "Buffalo" Division and the Japanese-American 442d Regimental Combat Team. General Truscott led this multi-national Fifth Army out's of its winter deadlock across the Italian Apennines and across the Po River valley. By the end of April Fifth Army had reached the foothills of the Alps and had captured the cities of Bologna Vicenza and Verona. On 29 April American and British units entered Venice and German representatives started negotiations for surrender. The battle for Italy came to an end on 2 May 1945 with the unconditional surrender of the German forces in Italy and the linkup between the Fifth Army and Seventh Army in the Brenner Pass. From 9 September 1943 to 2 May 1945 Fifth Army endured 602 days of steady battlefield combat. This fighting resulted in 188546 casualties among the 27 divisions and 7 corps that composed the Fifth Army. Fifth Army tied down at least 16 of Hitler's divisions and took 212112 of his men prisoner. The Fifth Army's units were assigned away and the Headquarters became non-operational on 9 September - two years to the day after the landing at Salerno. United States Fifth Army paperback
