186895962Washington D.C. August 14 1868. 1868. Very good. - A 7-1/4 inches high by 4-5/8 inches wide broadsheet General Order issued as a "resolution of Congress" authorizing Lieutenant General W.T. Sherman "to use the most efficient means his judgment will approve to reclaim from peonage the women and children of the Navajo Indians now held in slavery in the territory adjacent to their homes and the reservation on which the Navajo Indians have been confined."

Removed from a bound collection in the distant past the broadsheet is lightly chipped with stab marks along the left edge. Very good. <p>Throughout the American Southwest and in this case New Mexico Spanish settlers and their ancestors pursued a flourishing slave trade from the 16th though the 19th centuries. Captive Native Americans who became known as "Genizaros" were sold as slaves to Hispanic families. This practice went on even after the United States came to govern New Mexico. Having abolished slavery through the 13th Amendment in 1865 Congress then passed the "Peonage Act" in 1867 when it became known that New Mexicans still owned hundreds maybe thousands of these "Genizaros" consisting mostly of Navajo women and children.<p>RARE.

Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.

4510ULYSSES S. GRANT 1822-1885. Grant was the Eighteenth President and the head of the Union Army during the Civil War. Manuscript. 3pg. 8 x 12 . No date circa 1888. No place likely New York. A lengthy manuscript entitled Grants Last Review of Veterans done by an unknown soldier. He wrote The final farewell which the representatives of the Army took other old chief for the scene so memorable and so touching that it will never be if faced from the memories of those who participated in it or of those who viewed it. It occurred on decoration day three years ago. On that day the old veterans rose earlier than was there want spent more time than usual in unfurling their old battle flags in burnishing their metals of honor which decorated their breasts. They seem for time to forget ever the pain of their old wounds for they had resolved on that day to March by the house of their dying commander give a final marching salute the knew that one year from that day there would be a new made grave to decorate one which their children's children down through all the years would keep decked with the choicest of flowers. Outside that house the street was filled with the sound of marching men and martial music. Inside that house the chief lay upon a bed of anguish the power of approaching death already beginning to His features for his disease with doing the work which even the enemies bullets had shrunk from. The hand which it sees the surrender sounds of countless thousands was scarcely able to return the pressure of a friendly grasp. The voice which had cheered on to triumph and victory the legions of American manhood was no longer able to call for the cooling draft which lacked the thirst of a fever tongue and prostrate upon that bed of suffering lay the form which is the New World had written at the head of concrete columns in the old world had marched through the palaces of crown heads with the descendants of a line of kings rising and standing uncovered before him. His ears caught the sound of the movement of marching men. The bands were playing the grand strains which had mingled with the echo of his guns at Vicksburg playing the same quick steps to which his men had stepped in hot haste in pressuring Lee through Virginia and there came the measured tread swinging past of trained men which seem to shake the earth. He understood it all then it was the approaching tread of the old veterans. He seized his crutch with his little remaining strength and dragged himself painfully and slowly to the window. And as he gazed upon those banners bullet ridden battle stained those kindled in his eyes the flame which had lit them at Chattanooga at the Wilderness and amid the glories of Appomattox. And as he gazed upon those banners dipping to him in the salute he once more drew himself into the position of a soldier. And as they saw him standing cheeks which had been bronzed by Southern suns and begrimed with powder were now bathed in the tears of a manly grief. And then they saw a rising hand which had so often pointed out to them the path of victory he raises slowly and feebly to his head in acknowledgment of their salutations. The last the column had passed. The hand fellto his side. It was his last military salute. In late May 1885 the Union veterans knowing that Grant was dying had a military parade outside his 66th Street home. The document has light staining and chipping; the two pages have some separation and the lower right corner of the third page is missing but it affects no text. A fine firsthand account of the love the troops had for their general. unknown
