Very Good German Original sepia-toned cabinet photograph taken by German photographer J. C. Schaarwachter (1847-1904). 17x11 cm. Moltke was a Prussian field marshal. The chief of staff of the Prussian Army for thirty years, he is regarded as the creator of a new, more modern method of directing armies in the field. He commanded troops in Europe and the Middle East, commanding during the Second Schleswig War, Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. He is described as embodying "Prussian military organization and tactical genius.". He was fascinated with railways and pioneered their military usage. He is often referred to as Moltke the Elder to distinguish him from his nephew Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke, who commanded the German Army at the outbreak of World War I. In 1835 on his promotion as captain, Moltke obtained six months leave to travel in south-eastern Europe. After a short stay in Constantinople he was requested by the Sultan Mahmud II to help modernize the Ottoman Empire army, and being duly authorized from Berlin he accepted the offer. He remained two years at Constantinople, learned Turkish, and surveyed the city of Constantinople, the Bosphorus, and the Dardanelles. He traveled through Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Rumelia, and made many other journeys on both sides of the Strait. In 1838 Moltke was sent as an adviser to the Ottoman general commanding the troops in Anatolia, who was to carry on a campaign against Muhammad Ali of Egypt. During the summer Moltke made extensive reconnaissances and surveys, riding several thousand miles in the course of his journey. He navigated the rapids of the Euphrates and visited and mapped many parts of the Ottoman Empire. In 1839 the army moved south to fight the Egyptians, but upon the approach of the enemy, the general refused to listen to Moltke's advice. Moltke resigned from his post of staff officer and took charge of the artillery. In the Battle of Nezib (modern-day Nisibis) on 24 June 1839, the Ottoman army was beaten. With great difficulty, Moltke made his way back to the Black Sea, and thence to Constantinople. His patron, Sultan Mahmud II, was dead, so he returned to Berlin where he arrived, broken in health, in December 1839. Once home Moltke published some of the letters he had written as Letters on Conditions and Events in Turkey in the Years 1835 to 1839. This book was well-received at the time. Early the next year he married a young English woman, Maria Bertha Helena Burt, the daughter of John Heyliger Burt Esq. of St. Croix in the Danish West Indies, who married his sister Augusta. It was a happy union, though there were no children.

030103No Binding. Good. two letters two pages folio paper tanned some staining old folds some nicks and chips at edges with some minor loss separations at fold joints else in good legible condition. Inscribed on laid paper water-marked "OCR" a mark not found in Gravell. This pair of letters from General Philip Schuyler to Major Yates contains orders for the troops including preparations and various actions to be undertaken in the field issued in late June the week before the Siege of Fort Ticonderoga the first week of July 1777. The 1777 Siege of Fort Ticonderoga occurred between July second and sixth 1777 near the southern end of Lake Champlain in the state of New York. Lieutenant General John Burgoyne's 8000-man army occupied high ground above the fort and nearly surrounded the defenses. These movements forced the occupying Continental Army an under-strength force of 3000 under the command of General Arthur St. Clair to withdraw from Ticonderoga and the surrounding defenses. Some gunfire was exchanged and there were some casualties but there was no formal siege and no pitched battle. Burgoyne's army occupied Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence the extensive fortifications on the Vermont side of the lake without opposition on 6 July. Advance units pursued the retreating Americans. The uncontested surrender of Ticonderoga caused an uproar in the American public and in its military circles as Ticonderoga was widely believed to be virtually impregnable and a vital point of defense. General St. Clair and his superior General Philip Schuyler were vilified by Congress. Both were eventually exonerated in courts martial but their careers were adversely affected. Schuyler had already lost his command to Horatio Gates by the time of the court martial and St. Clair held no more field commands for the remainder of the war.
