1885125381New York: Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co. c. 1885. Attractive bronze bust of of Ulysses S. Grant as General of the Army by famed American sculptor Henry Kirke Bush-Brown. The adopted nephew of sculptor Henry Kirke Brown Henry Kirke Bush-Brown was revered for his accurate realist sculptures illustrating American history. He produced three equestrian bronze sculptures erected at the Gettysburg battlefield depicting General George Mead the victor at Gettysburg General John F. Reynolds killed in action July 1 1863 and General John Sedgwick the senior most Union casualty of the American Civil War. In addition Bush-Brown made a bust of Abraham Lincoln dedicated in 1912 as part of the Lincoln Speech Memorial commemorating Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Mounted on a bronze base the entire piece measures 7.75 inches in height. In fine condition. Following the close of the American Civil War Congress revisited the idea of a superior General rank initially intended for bestowal upon George Washington who held the rank of “General and Commander-in-Chief†which was a grade senior to all American major generals and brigadier generals from the American Revolutionary War but only entitled him to the three-star insignia of an Army lieutenant general. On July 25 1866 Congress enacted legislation authorizing the grade of General of the Army and on that same date the new grade was conferred on Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant as a reward for saving the Union in the American Civil War. The grade was recognized and continued in various acts until the Act of July 15 1870 which contained the requirement that “the offices of general and lieutenant general shall continue until a vacancy shall exist in the same and no longer and when such vacancy shall occur in either of said offices shall become inoperative and shall by virtue of this act from thence forward be held to be repealed.†Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co. unknown

1885151234New York: D. Appleton and Company 1885. Finely bound editions of Badeau’s important “eyewitness estimation of Grant’s performance during the war†a continuation of Grant's Personal Memoirs. Octavo Vols. II and III of three volumes original publisher's cloth stamped in gilt and black. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper of Vol. III in the year of publication "James C. Hunter Esq with compliments of A Badeau Xmas 1885." In very good. Rare signed by Badeau. Military History of Ulysses S. Grant by Union Brigadier General Adam Badeau—Grant’s aide-de-camp close associate and later literary collaborator—constitutes a substantial posthumous extension of Grant’s own narrative. Having served on Grant’s staff for much of the Civil War Badeau had sustained access to official correspondence operational planning and internal military deliberations. Although Grant’s Personal Memoirs 1885–1886 were completed shortly before his death Badeau assisted in their preparation and subsequently undertook a multi-volume study that expanded the documentary and analytical framework of Grant’s campaigns. Drawing upon wartime dispatches reports and private papers the work presents a detailed operational history while also engaging contemporary debates concerning command decisions and strategic coherence. As a result Military History of Ulysses S. Grant occupies an important position within late nineteenth-century Civil War historiography combining firsthand administrative proximity with retrospective analysis grounded in documentary sources.

186832549Missouri: The Radical State Committee 1868. Very Good. Missouri: The Radical State Committee 1868. Printed broadside 30.5x10cm with illustrated eagle vignette to top; blue backing. Grant's campaign slogan "Let Us Have Peace" to top followed by the Radical Republicans ballot choices from President on down to the County Officers. Creasing and smudging; nicks and short tears to edges; overall Very Good and sound. <br /> <br /> The Radical Republicans pushed for the complete and permanent eradication of slavery and supported Grant in '68 and here are supporting Missouri Congressional Candidate G.A. Finkelnburg as well. Noteworthy is also the push "For Constitutional Amendment - Yes" presumably referring to the 15th Amendment the 14th was already ratified and adopted that July prohibiting states and the federal government from denying a citizen's right to vote based on race color or previous condition of servitude. A rare survival of Grant campaign ephemera and an illuminating record of the Reconstruction era's battling factions and ideals. More broadly the piece has a certain congruity given the import of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 of which Thomas Jefferson said "I considered it at once as the knell of the Union. It is hushed indeed for the moment. But this is a reprieve only not a final sentence." Not separately cataloged in OCLC. The Radical State Committee unknown
18771465621877-1880. Unique 19th-century autograph album containing the signatures of six American presidents fifteen senators several cabinet members and governors including Abraham Lincoln Ulysses S. Grant James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce. Narrow quarto bound in one quarter period dark brown cloth over stiff marbled wrappers the autograph album is a repurposed 19th-century caucus record dating from ca. 1870. The caucus book is alphabetically tab-indexed and filled out in ink voters are tracked by their name with caucus results appearing in the back. Although this is labeled “Ward 5†in the first page the term "Ward" was flexible in its usage. This could have been for a Ward election precinct caucus legislative congressional or state convention caucus. The autographs are mounted over the caucus records in their respective alphabetical tab. Also mounted at front are 6 printed pieces of 19th-century ephemera. The autograph album was assembled between 1877 and 1880 and can be dated by a contemporary pencil note that John Sherman had transitioned from the Senate to be Secretary of the Treasury. From the collection of a Mr. Boyd a 19th-century Ward politician in the upper Midwest Minnesota or Wisconsin. The Presidential autographs are primarily clipped from Presidential appointments and include: Abraham Lincoln James Buchanan Ulysses S. Grant Andrew Johnson Franklin Pierce and Rutherford B. Hayes. In very good condition. A very rare and unique collection. hardcover
18852007Philadelphia: S.n. 1885. Leather over boards. Oblong duodecimo. 54 leaves. Near fine. Leather over thin board with gilt-stamped upper board. Professionally restored with about half of the original gilt-ornamented spine retained. Wesson's name card laid down on front pastedown. A fantastic and eclectic trove of 19th century autographs collected by one Edward Wesson apparently associated with the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia. The autographs range from military figures to actors and actresses singers diplomats explorers and more. <br /> <br /> Some of the most notable figures whose autographs appear here include Ulysses S. Grant Edwin Booth William Tecumseh Sherman P. T. Barnum King David KalÄkaua of Hawaii Henry Ward Beecher David Ross Locke aka 'Petroleum V. Nasby' and Hannibal Hamlin Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln. There are also autographs from survivors of the tragic Jeanette Expedition to the Arctic including John W. Danenhower Louis P. Noros William F. C. Nindemann and George W. Melville. Among the other entertainment figures of the day to sign Mr. Wesson's album were actresses Maggie Mitchell and Emma Abbott and several others. <br /> <br /> Of the 54 leaves only 5 are blank on both sides with the remaining 49 having autographs on one or both sides and one autograph on the recto of rear free endpaper for a total of 57 autographs in all.<br /> <br /> The album originated at Philadelphia's Continental Hotel one of the grandest and most socially prominent establishments of the 19th century. Opened in 1860 and famed for hosting presidents generals and celebrities-including Abraham Lincoln who stayed there en route to his 1861 inauguration-the Continental stood as a national landmark until its 1924 demolition to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.<br /> <br /> Apart from a single tipped‑in signature from a Mayor of Mt. Vernon NY every autograph in this volume is penned directly onto its original pages. This is of vital significance because unlike albums assembled from clipped signatures from various sources this is a continuous artifact: the very book that moved through the hands of each signer. To hold it now is to experience that unique connection with each of the historical figures who once inscribed it. <br /> <br /> A truly remarkable artifact. (S.n.) unknown
