24911Washington DC: War Department 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn with two file holes at left not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34" being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey 1825-67 was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event. unknown
24836Washington DC: War Department 1864 September 21. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text.

22505Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1863 January 9. Handbill. 16mo 4 3/4" X 7". Very good. Binding traces along left edge; bit of age toning.

24815Washington DC: War Department 1864 November 14. 16mo. Handbill. Very good. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text. Townsend announces the resignation of Major General George B. McClellan on November 8 -- though not stated just after losing the presidential race to Lincoln -- and the appointment of Philip H. Sheridan as Major General: "That for the personal gallantry military skill and just confidence in the courage and patriotism of his troops. on the 19th day of October at Cedar Run whereby. his routed army was reorganized a great national disaster averted and a brilliant victory achieved over the rebels for the third time in pitched battle within thirty days." The acceptance of McClellan's resignation without comment or praise over a job well done speaks volumes about the much-disliked commander's lackluster performance. unknown

23858Washington: War Department 1864 October 1. Handbill. 12mo. Very good. File holes at left edge not affecting text. "Regulations in respect to the distribution of election tickets and proxies in the Army" which spells out the rules and regulations for soldiers to vote in absentia -- including the warning: "Any officer or private who may wantonly destroy tickets or prevent their proper distribution among legal voters interfere with the freedom of election or make any false or fraudulent return will be deemed guilty of an offense against good order and military discipline."

186424837Washington DC: War Department 1864. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text. Titled "Exchange of Prisoners of War" this General Order consists of Townsend's report of a prisoner exchange arranged between Generals William T. Sherman and John Bell Hood that took place in Rough and Ready Georgia on September 19 22 28 and 30 1864. "United States prisoners received -- 146 commissioned officers. 212 non-commissioned officers. 770 privates. In all equivalent to 2047 privates. Confederate prisoners received -- 128 commissioned officers. 225 non-commissioned officers. 979 privates. In all equivalent to 2045 privates." How these numbers add up to 2047 and 2045 privates is beyond us -- must be the Old Math. Accompanied by a fine modern circa 1960 glossy 8" X 10" photograph a superbly done reprint of the well-known head-and-shoulders portrait of John Bell Hood in Confederate uniform. Verso bears red inkstamped "From the / Abraham Lincoln Book Shop / Collection." A superb pair. War Department unknown

Rosecrans "being relieved" of same and ordered to "repair to Cincinnati Ohio" to await further orders -- which never came. Very attractive. General appointed -- general relieved! unknown
22506Huntsville AL: Head Quarters Dept. and Army of the Tenn. 1864 January 16. Handbill. 16mo 4 3/4" X 6 3/4". Near fine. Congressional resolution sent to Brigadier General Grenville M. Dodge by order of William T.

Signed in type at the conclusion by R.M. Sawyer as Assistant Adjutant General. Clean and nice. Rather crudely printed possibly on a portable field press. Presumably this late in the war there was some unease among re-enlisting soldiers that they would get paid. unknown
