1862 Diary Of Civil War Soldier Sergeant Edward Allen Goodwin Killed April 16 1862

6252EDWARD ALLEN GOODWIN unknown-1862. Goodwin was the Sergeant in Company K of the 23rd Regular Massachusetts Volunteers. This is the diary of Edward A. Goodwin Co. K 23rd Regt. M. of. M. This diary is THE AMERICAN UNION DIARY FOR 1862 an annual published diary accessible and likely provided to Union soldiers during the Civil War. After a few pages that include a calendar and interest tables the diary provides space for each day of the year 1862. Goodwin wrote entries every day from January 1st to April 7th and none thereafter. At the time Goodwin was serving in the 23rd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment which was a part of the Coast Division under General Ambrose Burnside. Entries are handwritten in either pencil or black ink. Notable entries include: aFriday 7: Naval engagementplace lasting from noon till sunset. Troops were landedin the afternoon and evening. Bivouacked on Roanoke Island in the rain. b Saturday 8: Captured a rebel battery in a swamp. Took 3000 rebel provisions and the whole island wasSergt. Howard hurt his foot. W.S. Clark missing. Both entries describe the Battle of Roanoke Island fought February 7th and 8th 1862. Part of General Ambrose Burnsides expedition to capture key ports in the Outer Banks the battle first saw Union gunboats first firing on Confederate forts under the command of Henry Wise until Burnsides soldiers could land ashore unopposed. and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. The next day the Union soldiers successfully flanked the Confederate artillery and infantry defenders on both sides forcing a retreat into the Confederate forts. The forts were then individually taken with the Union suffering only 264 casualties and capturing 2500 Confederate defenders. c Friday 14: Fought the battle of New Bern. Took over 100 pieces of artillery ammunitioncamp equipment &c. I arrived at night in the tents of the enemy. This entry describes the Battle of New Bern fought on March 14th 1862. After first advancing up the Trent River General Burnside had his soldiers exploit the weakened center of the line of the defending Confederates under Lawrence O'B. Branch. This allowed the Union Navy to shell Fort Thompson forcing its abandonment and shortly thereafter the city of New Bern too. 90 Union soldiers were killed and 64 Confederates were killed and 413 were captured. d Monday 31: Sick all day. Took horses.e Monday 7: Saw Amoat the hospital. DeceasedRain in the afternoon. These two entries foreshadow Goodwins ultimate fate including his last entry on April 7th 1862. Goodwin would pass away in New Bern on April 16th. Having survived two major battles unscathed at least according to his diary Goodwin most likely succumbed to disease. It is estimated that 2/3 of Civil War soldiers who died during the war died of disease not in battle. His body was ultimately returned to Massachusetts and is buried in Mansfield. The pages of the journal are in good condition but the exterior of black leather is frayed and partially torn. It should be handled very delicately but its value as a lens into the mindset of a Civil War soldier is immense. hardcover

Unknown Soldier In The Philippino-American WarBiblio.com

1899-1901 Shocking Remarkably Detailed Frontline Account of the Philippine-American War from the Perspective of a US Soldier

18990012049Donsol Pilar Manila Philippines New York Malta. Poor with no dust jacket. 1899-1901. Other. On offer is an unbelievable handwritten account of 19 months of action on the frontlines of the Philippine Insurrection the Philippine-American War between November 1899 and June 1901. An unknown American soldier writes of his experiences in a level of detail that cannot be overstated. This diary places the reader in the Philippines with shocking realism making this diary exceedingly rare. The 139 pages of this journalled account of events have been removed from a larger document and someone has pinned these loose pages together. This writing begins at the end of a sentence penned on presumably November 17 1899 and concludes half way through a sentence written on June 23 1901. There seem to be very few missing pages from within the journal and it reads very smoothly. The content is outstanding. The diary opens with our soldier diarist sailing from New York to the Philippines via the British Naval base at Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. He describes his experiences sailing sharing about a stop ashore in Malta a Thanksgiving spent at sea a concert enjoyed aboard the gunboat Nashville on the way to Manila and more. He arrives with his regiment in Manila on Dec 22 1899. The troops explore Manila and meet Filipino locals. In early January of 1900 they receive orders to head to southern Luzuon on the Kobbe Expedition which refers to General William Kobbes Expedition to Bicolandia. This expedition was in response to an urgent order from Washington to open up hemp ports of Southern Luzon due to an American hemp shortage. The problem was the port towns were largely controlled by Filipino Insurgents. Our diarist provides absolutely remarkable detail about Americas role in defeating the Insurgents and the tragedy of the Filipino peoples experience. Context indicates that our diarist was possibly a member of the 43rd Volunteer Infantry Regiments USV Company A. An excerpt that provides a sense of how our soldier explains the circumstances in the Philippines follows: Jan 16th we got the order to pack up and get ready to leave Mikata and to proceed to the Southern part of Luzonwe were put aboard the transport Hancock which was at anchor in the Bay of ManilaAll combined we were named the Kobbe Expedition to the Southern Luzon to open up the Hemp ports and protect the natives from the Insurgents down thereOn the 21st of Jan 1900 our boats dropped anchor in a bay named the bay of Sorsogon in the Province of AlbayAll over this province there are large gangs of Insurgents holding the towns so at many towns our boys had a hard fight with the Insurgents before they could take the towns and the gun boat had to shell many of the towns. Our Regt. Occupied nine towns. Our detachment of A and D. Co. Were taken to a town named Donsol the gunboat Helena took us ashore from the HancockOn their arrival ashore they were met by a crowd of Philippinos. They had an order from the officers of the Insurgents it read saying that they would not haul down their colors nor surrender for three days. So our Major returned to the gunboat and a short conversation was held with the officers of the gun-boat and it was decided to prepare the gun boat for action and land all of us. If the Insurgents fired one shot at us the gun-boat would shell the townThe hills were full of fleeing people. A detail of men were sent out on the hills at once then the Insurgents fired their first shot at us. Our boys had a warm fight for 15 minutes. They found the hills well entrenched and also found one big cannon. Lots of spears Bolas and wooden guns. They returned to town bringing in a few prisoners. A scouting party was seent and they saw a lot of Philippinos fleeing to the mountains. This town had a population of 10000 and three hundred were Insurrectors. The next thing we done was to find ourselves some good houses to live in. Outposts were put out all around the town. A few natives came across our post for a few nights and on the 22th Jan the Insurgents paid our town a visit setting fire to one of the big houses where our men were sleeping. Our men got out of the house without anyone being hurt. We surrounded the town fired a few volleys. Later in January our soldiers regiment goes on the first of many missions all of which he describes in glaring detail. On this mission the troops attempt to leave Donsol for Pilar when they run into trouble as the connecting bridge was destroyed by Insurgents. They make it to Pilar and find the town has been deserted. As they march back to Donsol they find someone has lit the bridge ablaze: Jan 28th We had a very hard time crossing the bridge burning our shoes and legs but we got safely on the Donsol side before the bridge fell with a crash into the river. We marched onwe heard several shots from the Mauser and Remington rifles. Next we discovered a big fire and a call to arms and fire call was soundedThe fire of the Insurgents got heavier. Our Major gave an order not to fire. He was going out in the front of our lines. He went out with a detail of men and discovered that our town was surrounded and the hills were full of Insurgents. He fired a few volleys then he came into town. The Insurgents answered him by firing a cannon. Then the Insurgents gave a yell and started to advance and we kept quiet and let them get close to our lines. Then we got the order to commence firing and the boys opened up all around the town and we soon put the Insurgents to flight firing a few shots as they ran. Next morning we discovered a few dead Insurgents close to our lines. The Insurgents almost always carry their dead and wounded along with them in their flight Our soldier does an absolutely phenomenal job of describing not only the day-to-day in Donsol where he spends majority of his time but also the various missions in which he participates. His words paint a fulsome picture of the war: 21st Feb at noon our Major asked for a detachment of men to volunteer to go up the river on a scouting expedition. I along with 12 more men went out of our company and 12 out of D. Co. Along with Capt. Hart of D. Co. And our Major left Donsol in a hard paddle boat and one white boat in towOn our way up the river we could see high hills on each side and the river was very narrow. There were many Insurgents outposts in the high trees all the way up and we fired at every one we saw. We went up a distance of 8 miles before we thought of coming home as it was getting lateWe had traveled one mile on our homeward way when the Insurgents fired on us from the left hand ashore. Our men in the rear boat fired a volley into the two Insurgents and were taking good aim for a second volley when the hills fairly echoed with the yells from the Insurgents. They then opened up on the right hand side which was aimed at the white boat hitting one of our men our companyin the head and he was killed instantly. Then we answered their shots from each of our boats and from that time until we got back to Donsol we were under the hot fire of the Insurgents we could see the hills full of Insurgents and we had plenty to shoot at. We made every shot count. The insurgents even fired rocks at us from the high hills. More texture is added when our soldier discusses aspects of the war that dont involve active fire. Some examples follow: March 5th Gen Kobbe of the 8th Army Cor was here on a visit and he said these two companies were a very industrious lot of men and that the building of the stocade and trenches was a very sensible work he also brought us 17 of the Battery G 3rd Artillery men and one Hotch Kiss gun for reinforcements. April 10th the mail boat was here bringing the report of Gen. Pawa likely Jose Ignacio Paua an Insurgent Gen in Command of the Insurgent troops through this province. He surrender to our Colonel in Legaspi Legazpi and was sent to the Military Prison in Manila. April 21st We took a long march across the hills in a round about manner to a town named Sevilla merely an Insurgent camp. The town was deserted on our arrival. Fires were still burning in the houses. Everything was just as they had dropped it in their flight. We passed through the town and discovered many traps laid in the roads for us. One trap was an arrow trap on each side of the path in the bushes and by pulling a strong the arrows would stick into anyone going down the path. None of their traps caught us. Our soldier writes frequently about expeditions for which he volunteers. He describes a mission to Banningaran sic. En route the men captured Captain Hernandiz sic; possibly Adriano Hernández y Dayot and his family before being caught unprepared by the Insurgents who severely injured one of the American sargeants. On their hike back to Donsol they are again attacked by the Insurgents this time caught off guard as they attacked from the rear. And so it goes for many more months. Our author describes the movements of the men with whom he is stationed his commanding officers and the various wins and setbacks of both the Americans and the Insurgents. In May of 1901 our soldier and his regiment begin the process of boarding a ship to return to America. There is of course never a straightforward path and there are many bumps in the road. However our soldier does eventually board a ship and begins again to describe his journey in detail. The diary cuts off abruptly mid-sentence on June 23 1901 as our soldier is describing being at sea with nothing but a sailboat in sight for miles. While we do not know our soldiers identity we do know he was safely heading home at the conclusion of his diary. We know he was a highly motivated volunteer soldier who displayed total buy-in to the mission of the Americans in the Philippines and we know he was a gifted writer penning his experiences with such texture and realism that the reader feels as though they too have been on the front lines of a bloody wet miserable war in the Philippines - fighting for America and for the displaced Philippino people forced to flee from the Insurgents to the mountains. This journal measures 8x5 inches and contains 139 single-sided sheets. The pages were all loose so the author has pinned them together with a single round-headed fastener post. There are no covers to this journal. As a result the first and last few pages show obvious and significant wear and tear including a large corner of the first page being completely ripped off obstructing the text. The handwriting is quite legible. Overall Fair to Poor. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 139 pages . unknown

The regiment comprises three Regular Force battalions two Primary Reserve battalions and a band making it the largest regiment in the Canadian Army. The ceremonial home of the regiment is La Citadelle in Quebec City where the regimental museum is housed. The regiment is nicknamed the Van Doos an anglicized mispronunciation of vingt-deux "twenty-two" in French. The regiment's regimental headquarters is located in Quebec City with all three of its regular battalions stationed at various bases in the province of Quebec. The regiment serves as the "local" infantry regiment for Quebec. During the Korean War 1951-1953 the regiment expanded to three battalions each serving in turn as part of the Canadian brigade in the 1st Commonwealth Division. Thus the "Van Doos" represented one-third of Canada's infantry contingent throughout the war.

African American Military History Integrated U.S. Army Soldiers Photo Archive Korea and Post WWII 1950s

1957193551957. Vernacular photograph archive of African American soldiers in integrated U.S. Army units circa 1950s documents the early implementation of military desegregation following Executive Order 9981 and provides visual evidence of Black and white soldiers serving together during and after World War II including the Korean War. The photographs place African American servicemen within the first generation of formally integrated military units preceding broader civil rights gains in civilian society. Scenes of joint training transport and daily life show Black soldiers operating alongside white counterparts in contexts ranging from shipboard movement to antiaircraft defense positions indicating the practical realities of integration in active and post-conflict environments. The archive captures both structured military activity and informal moments offering a record of service that contrasts with the segregated conditions that had defined earlier periods of U.S. military history. United States and Korea circa 1950s. Archive of 21 silver gelatin vernacular photographs with several images bearing manuscript captions on the verso identifying individuals and locations including one noting Korea 1957-1958. Photographs depict a range of settings including military bases in Korea stateside camps shipboard scenes and antiaircraft gun emplacements in snowy terrain. Multiple images show interracial groups of soldiers posing with rifles and submachine guns while others capture informal activities including one sequence featuring a soldier holding an inflated puffer fish aboard a ship. One photograph includes a note written in Italian on the verso indicating cross-cultural contact or circulation. Composition and subject matter vary from posed group portraits to candid operational and leisure scenes. Created during the first decade of enforced military integration these photographs align with the transitional period in which desegregation policies were implemented unevenly across the armed forces with fuller integration not realized until the mid-1950s. The Korean War served as a critical testing ground for integrated units accelerating changes in military structure and social dynamics within the ranks. This archive provides a ground-level view of those developments documenting both the normalization of interracial military service and the persistence of shared routines duties and environments across racial lines. Light wear from handling with minor surface marks and occasional verso annotations; overall very good condition. unknown

African American Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry and 369th Infantry Photograph Archive

1918205021918. Buffalo Soldier regiments depicted in stereoview photographs from the World War I era document African American cavalrymen and infantry units serving in segregated formations of the United States Army during the early twentieth century. These images record soldiers from several historically significant Black military units including the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 10th Cavalry and the 369th Infantry Regiment. African American soldiers served in large numbers during World War I despite segregation in the armed forces and the war marked a turning point in public recognition of Black military service. The photographs capture cavalry movement machine gun training and celebratory returns from the European front preserving visual evidence of the military presence and public visibility of Buffalo Soldiers during the conflict. Archive consists of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company during the World War I period. The views depict soldiers from the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 8th Regiment of Colored Troops the 10th Cavalry the Chicago Regiment of Colored Troops and the 15th Regiment of the 369th Infantry. Two stereoviews show Black machine gun companies operating Lewis guns one of the principal light machine guns used on the Western Front during the war. Another view shows Troop K of the 10th Cavalry moving on horseback at Camp Chickamauga in Georgia. Additional stereoviews depict African American soldiers returning from European service and marching in public celebrations including scenes of troops parading along major boulevards such as Fifth Avenue in New York. The Buffalo Soldier regiments had already established a long military record before the First World War. Units such as the 10th Cavalry formed part of the segregated Regular Army created after the Civil War and served in campaigns across the western United States during the Indian Wars later participating in the Spanish American War the Philippine American War and operations during the Mexican Revolution. World War I marked one of the final periods in which cavalry units remained visible in American military organization as mechanized armor and motorized vehicles soon replaced mounted troops. At the same time Black soldiers who returned from service were celebrated in wartime parades yet continued to face segregation and racial discrimination within American society. Stereoview cards remain well preserved with light age wear typical of early twentieth century photographic prints. Very good condition overall and a visually compelling record of Buffalo Soldiers during the World War I era. unknown

African American Military History Buffalo Soldiers Stereoview Archive World War I Keystone View Company Images of Black Troops in Europe

1918205031918. Keystone View Company. Buffalo Soldiers stereoview photographs World War I era document African American military service in the American Expeditionary Forces and place segregated Black troops within the broader Allied war effort in Europe. The images identify units of "Colored Troops" including engineers of the Signal Corps and depict formations logistical organization and moments of assembly such as soldiers "lined up for democracy." These photographs situate African American soldiers-many of whom descended from the Buffalo Soldier regiments established after the Civil War-within a transnational military environment that included French British and colonial forces. Scenes showing interaction with Moroccan and Indian troops on French roads reflect the multinational composition of Allied armies during the final phases of the war while the presence of Black American troops underscores their continued participation in major military operations despite segregation within the U.S. Army. France and possibly other European locations circa 1917-1919. Archive of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company. Images depict African American soldiers in formation including lines for mess and organized ranks as well as mixed Allied groupings on roadways and near encampments. Stereographic format intended for three-dimensional viewing with printed captions identifying subjects and units. Photographs emphasize both structured military order and the varied roles occupied by Black troops particularly in engineering and support divisions. Produced during the final years of World War I these stereographs align with the expanded deployment of African American soldiers overseas and the broader visibility of Black troops within global conflict. While their service contributed to Allied operations these soldiers returned to a United States that maintained racial segregation and limited civil rights situating the archive within the larger history of African American military participation and postwar inequality. As visual records the images support research into race military organization and the international dimensions of the war. Light handling wear; overall very good condition. unknown

1890187391890. African American soldier photographed among members of a United States Army camp unit in the American West during the late nineteenth century providing visual documentation of Black participation within the military environment during the era of segregated service. African American soldiers served in the United States Army throughout the nineteenth century most prominently in units known as the Buffalo Soldiers which were formally organized after the Civil War. While Black soldiers were typically assigned to segregated regiments images occasionally record their presence in mixed military environments such as camps labor details or logistical units.

Albumen sepia tone photograph mounted on photographer's board showing a group of American soldiers posed within a military encampment. Photograph measuring approximately 8.5 x 10 inches mounted on a photographer's board measuring approximately 10.75 x 10 inches. The men are dressed in clothing typical of western military and frontier settings of the late nineteenth century including dark buttoned shirts trousers supported by suspenders and boots. The African American soldier appears seated among the group with a cigarette in his mouth. The soldiers are gathered in a clearing surrounded by trees where rows of tents are arranged on raised wooden platforms suggesting an organized encampment. Cooking equipment stacked blankets plates and tankards are visible indicating a communal meal or informal gathering. One soldier holds what appears to be a long rifle with a visible barrel and wooden stock. Several soldiers sit or recline on the ground in the foreground while others stand behind them creating the appearance of an informal group portrait taken during daily camp life rather than a formal military arrangement. Handwritten note on the verso reads "Notice 'Black Soldier.'" Top right corner of the board cracked with tape repairs on the verso; slight water staining at the top left corner and damp staining at the lower left corner with partial cracking at the lower right corner. Image itself remains clear and largely unaffected. Overall condition good. The photograph preserves a visual record of African American presence within the late nineteenth century U.S. Army camp environment during a period when the armed forces remained formally segregated. unknown

Archive of Handwritten Postcards with Heartfelt Correspondences from a W.W.I Australian Soldier during the Gallipoli Campaign and Going through Europe and Northern Africa

1915207331915. Australian Imperial Force soldiers postcard correspondence Archive 1915 to 1916 documents ANZAC service during the Gallipoli campaign and subsequent deployments across the Mediterranean theater through sustained communication with a civilian recipient in Sydney. The archive centers on letters addressed to a woman identified as Olga written by multiple soldiers including her brother Eric and another correspondent George. The material records trench conditions troop movement and the transmission of news from the front including the report of Eric's death. The correspondence situates individual experience within the Gallipoli campaign where Allied forces sustained heavy casualties in operations against Ottoman defenses and traces the continuation of service across France Egypt and Greece following the withdrawal. Archive of 54 handwritten postcard letters. Europe North Africa and the Mediterranean 1915 to 1916. Each message is written on the verso of a period postcard most measuring approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches with photographic views of cities and towns including London French villages Cairo and locations in Greece. Several images depict damaged urban environments. One postcard bears a censorship marking with portions of text obscured. The correspondence includes multiple authors primarily Eric and George. In one letter from France George writes "Thank you for the pose.We are having beautiful weather at present. Just like an Australian spring. Love from George." Eric writing from Egypt on April 16 notes "We are once again in the trenches where we have had a very lovely time for a few days." A later letter reports Eric's death stating "You need have no fear that he was decently buried" while subsequent correspondence reflects diminished communication and shifting personal relationships including George's inquiry "Do you ever write to me Olga. I wish a few letters from you would turn up." The Gallipoli campaign fought from April 1915 to January 1916 resulted in extensive casualties and became central to the development of ANZAC identity commemorated annually as Anzac Day. Following the evacuation of Gallipoli Australian forces were redeployed across multiple theaters including the Western Front and Middle Eastern campaigns reflected in the geographic range of these postcards. The archive documents the function of wartime correspondence under censorship and the role of letters in conveying both military experience and personal loss to the home front.

Headed: 'To the Right Honorable the Earl of sic Bathurst His Majestys Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial & War Department &c &c &c the Memorial of Major General Charles Viscount Grant de Vaux Shewest sic'. The first paragraph reads: 'That your memorialist although a french Emigrant is descended from two ancient and noble British families both by his father and mother and holds at present the rank of major general in the British Service - having resided in England since the year 1790 during which period after his services in the Emigrants Army became unnecessary he devoted his attentions to objects of Science and has published several works on Astronomy Navigation History &c tending to discoveries particularly on Nautical Science and on the history of Mauritius; which having met the approbation of men of talents and the patronage of Government your memorialist humbly hopes that his labours will ultimately prove beneficial to this country and to his unfortunate and numerous family.' The second paragraph concerns 'a large tract of Land in Canada' granted to him in 1794 'with a view to remove to that country a considerable number of french Emigrants who were to be conducted by him'. The third paragraph concerns 'the island of Mauritius where your memorialist was born' where his father 'the late Baron Grant &c commanded the troops' which has been 'conquered by his majesty's arms and is a valuable colony of Great Britain' The fourth paragraph concerns his family he having married 'a native of this country by whom he has eight children not provided for all born in England'.

In conclusion he prays that 'your Lordship be pleased to issue an order that his Grant of land may be conferred to him in the isle of France 'the Isle of France' was another name for Mauritius his native country in lieu of the grant in Canada which was extensive according to his rank and numerous family'. Biographical/Historical NoteCharles Grant vicomte de Vaux was the descendant of a family of nobles who had emigrated from Scotland to France in the 14th century. Vaux was born in 1749 on the island of Mauritius where his father Louis-Charles Grant the Baron de Vaux served as governor. As a youth Vaux sailed to France to be educated and settled at Vaux-sur-Seulle in Normandy and eventually became an army officer. During the American Revolution he sided with the colonists and earned money selling supplies to the colonies and investing in ships to engage in privateering. The majority of the ships were lost and after the war Vaux petitioned the United States Congress for compensation. Though Vaux considered emigrating to North America he remained in France until forced by the revolution in France to flee to Great Britain in 1790. During his time as a refugee Vaux became interested in the prospect of starting a settlement in Canada and much of his energy during the next decade was focused on gaining permissions and raising money for the expedition. In the mid-1790s Vaux attempted to support himself as an army officer after being granted the position of colonel and permission to recruit a regiment which he formed with other French émigrés; it was stationed temporarily in Holland. This pursuit failed however and the regiment was dispersed after France invaded Holland during the French Revolutionary wars. Vaux then turned to writing to support himself publishing numerous books which included History of Mauritius and Introduction to Four New Maps of the Four Quarters all the while still attempting to plan a Canadian settlement. Despite his constant petitioning planning and pleas for aid Vaux was never able to realize his dream of moving to Canada. Little is known of the last two decades of his life but he is thought to have died in France around 1818." Grant Cottage, King's Road, Sloane Square [London]. 21 January 1813. unknown

"I am anxious for the return of the drawing which I sent to you of the Armstrong Naval Gun on its carriage.The omission would deprive my work of a good deal of interest.I have stopped the Press waiting for your reply".General Sir Howard Douglas 3rd Baronet 1776-1861 was a British military officer and Member of Parliament for Liverpool from 1842-1847.

He also founded Fredericton College now known as the University of New Brunswick and was its first Chancellor. From 1835 to 1840 he was Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands where he introduced a new code of laws known as "the Douglas code". The code infuriated the Greek Orthodox patriarchate in that it included innovations affecting family life especially marriage and divorce. Abused or abandoned women could more easily obtain a divorce. Further it legalized marriage between step-siblings and second cousins. Douglas was the author of several important military and naval treatises including the "Treatise on Naval Gunnery" of which the fifth edition is referred to in this letter. It became a standard text book and was the first publication to draw attention to its subject. Green Street [London]: April 15, 1860. unknown
