1867231088Washington 1867. unbound. 1 page on "War Department" letterhead 9.75 x 7.75 inches Washington November 6 1867 -- an uncommon partly printed document signed "U.S. Grant" as ad interim Secretary of War a post he held for only eight weeks informing Thomas J. Greggs: "You are hereby notified that the President of the United States has appointed you for gallant and meritorious services during the war a Captain by Brevet. Should the Senate at their next session advise and consent thereto you will be commissioned accordingly." Beautifully framed to 15.5 x 17.5 inches with a 4.5 x 3.75-inch copperplate portrait along with a tan matte and black-and-gold frame. The letter has horizontal folds and a small smudge in the left margin; overall a magnificent item in near fine condition.<br/><br/> At the time that this document was signed President Andrew Johnson was undergoing Impeachment proceedings. A week earlier he compounded his problems by firing Secretary of War Stanton and convincing Grant to fill the Cabinet position. Two months later both houses of Congress determined that it was illegal to fire Stanton and that he should be reinstated immediately. Grant rather than to get caught up with the political controversy walked away from President Johnson - both men refusing to speak to one another for the rest of their lives.<br/><br/> unknown books
2081First edition. Framed photograph. Very Good. MAGNIFICENT LARGE ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPH OF ULYSSES S. GRANT BY ABRAHAM BOGARDUS. An unusually large late c.1880 photograph of Grant post-presidency in formal dress sitting and in partial profile. Mounted on thick card with the photographer's credit and address "A. Bogardus / 872 Broadway NY" on matte below the photo. The photographer Anthony Bogardus was a photographic pioneer described by the New York Times as "the best-known photographer in the United States" in his prime who took "the first photographs of Gen. Grant Gen. Hancock Samuel D. Morse inventor of the telegraph; Horace Greeley Henry Ward Beecher and other equally well-known men." The engravers Currier & Ives produced an engraving based on this photograph calling it "the last and best taken of General Grant".

1865WRCAM53987City Point Va 1865. 1p. 6 x 7 3/4 inches. Verso docketed with an 1896 penciled presentation inscription to Chicago manufacturing magnate W.W. Wilcox with a faint ink stamp recording the date of presentation. Old horizontal folds light edge toning one tiny tear at bottom edge else fine condition. An important and revealing original communication from the pen of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant near the close of the Civil War. Here Grant writes a telegram to Major General Edward Ord who was at that time in command of the Army of the James in Virginia. Ord's forces were participating in the Appomattox Campaign and achieved their greatest success at the Breakthrough at Petersburg just about two weeks after this telegram was sent. Ord would later be present for Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. <br> <br> In this letter Grant informs Ord that Sheridan has just brought in thousands of freed African Americans to work as laborers for the Union. Grant sends them to the provost marshal at Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads and informs Ord that he may employ some of the men however he might see fit. The text of the telegram reads: <br> <br> "Gen. Sheridan has brought in with him some two or three thousand negroes. I have directed him to send them to the F.V. at Ft. Monroe. The Chief Ar. Ms. Gen. Ingalls will give directions for the distribution and employment of the able bodied men. The balance you may direct to be sent to such settlement as you may think can best employ them. U.S. Grant Lt. Gen." <br> <br> Ord and his men were instrumental in bringing an end to the Civil War in the weeks that followed this telegram. On April 9 Ord led a forced march to Appomattox Court House that is credited with in part forcing Lee's final surrender. Of this march Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman wrote in an 1880 letter that he "had always understood that Ord's skillful hard march the night before was one of the chief causes of Lee's surrender." It is poetic justice of the highest order to consider that some of the African-American former slaves mentioned in this telegram were likely part of Ord's forces at Appomattox where they could have borne witness to the end of the Confederacy.

London 1903 p139.<br/> Pierre-Antoine Berryer 1790-1868 a French lawyer and politician defended freedom of the press during the reigns of King Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III. The announcement of his death permits the broadside's assertion that the advertised portrait of General Grant is rarer and more desirable than that of Berryer and is a must for collectors. It reads: "Les derniers honneurs rendus a Berryer l'illustre avocat mort le 29 Novembre ont ete l'evenement des premiers jours de ce mois. - A ses funerailles dignes de sa vie et de sa fin; on a feté les plus belles choses de ce mond la probité le getenie la foi! - Le corps est reste entre les anciennes demeures de Malesherbes et de Mirabeau Le portrait de Mr. Berryer est partout: vus devez l'avoir en qualite de Francais!
