18640002339WITH THE 2ND NEW HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT. Good. 1864. On offer is a superb original historically significant manuscript diary and relic of the Civil War handwritten by noted Chaplain John Wesley Adams born in Townsend Massachusetts in 1832 the seventh generation ancestor of the Presidents Adams. On December 5 1863 Mr. Adams was commissioned chaplain of General Gilman Marston's original command "The Fighting Second". Devoting himself to social and moral welfare of his comrades Adams was renowned for the care of his men. Side by side he participated in the battles at Bermuda Hundred Point of Rocks the second engagement at Fair Oaks Swift Creek Proctor's Creek Drury's Bluff Cold Harbor Siege of Petersburg and entering Richmond under General Devens the day of his surrender. Mr. Adams preached before his regiment on the death of Abraham Lincoln Adams was discharged in 1865 in a testimonial on parchment. Joining the NH Conference Adams was successful with over a dozen notable pastorates. In 1876 he was chosen a delegate to the General Conference in Baltimore serving four years as secretary of his conference. The 42 page coverless diary is comprised of folio sized sheets are in 3 text blocks held by string and are titled as detailed 'excerpts' from the diaries of the renowned pastor. Retrospectively done but very very soon after the dates of the original writings Chaplain Adams provides a factual retelling of his vast service and in fact the writings include for example in one case a riveting word for word passages with a soldier condemned to die for desertion only to exalt in a reprieve to then be shot the next day.

186653723Houston TX 1866. 4to 3 pages on integral leaves; approx. 9.75" x 7.75" legibly written with full typescript transcription provided some staining without affecting legibility minor insect damage on edges very good. Includes stamped cover with a Houston postmark. An interesting letter from the early Reconstruction period in the Southwest. J. W. Eckles John Wesley Eckles: 1839-1891 was born in Delaware. At the time of this letter he was a 1st Lieutenant serving in Houston a few months after a proclamation of peace with Texas was issued by President Andrew Johnson in August of 1866. He appears to have remained in Texas thereafter as a rancher until he was shot in a neighborhood dispute. Eckles writes to Major Lofland: "I am truly glad to know you came out number one in your late collision with Col. Mason. Although I never felt any doubt about the matter. I would think the Snub he got from Gen'l Sheridan with charges returned would put him out of the nature of preferring charges against anybody else particularly the Pay Dept. He told Maj. Lathrop that he never forwarded the charges I showed Lathrop a copy of Gen'l S's letter returning them you ought to have seen him laugh." General Philip Sheridan was appointed to supervise federal Reconstruction 1865-77 efforts in Louisiana and Texas; he rapidly earned a reputation as a harsh leader. The reference to "Col. Mason" probably refers to Bvt. Lieut. Col. Julius Wilmot Mason 1835-1882 from Pennsylvania. He participated in the 1863 Battle of Brandy Station where he earned a brevet to major for gallant and meritorious services. Mason served with Grant until August 12 1866 and commanded General Grant's escort until he was inaugurated as President in January of 1868. Mason then served in the same position for Gen. William T. Sherman until March 31 1870 when he was transferred to frontier service. We do not know exactly what the "charges" or the "late collision" with Major Lofland were that Col. Mason brought since they were returned by Sheridan but since they concerned the pay department they might have been related to issues involving the dispensing of soldier pay. Major James Rush Lofland was the recipient of this letter in New Orleans where he was engaged until 1867 in paying off the troops of Mississippi Louisiana and Texas. Lofland 1823-1894 was a Delaware College graduate and a lawyer. Eckles also refers to "about 1000 troops here arrived in Galveston during the last week. Gen'l Heinzleman has made his HdQtrs at Galveston & assumed command of this district . My opinion of the majority of those fellows at Galveston is.that it requires nine of them to make a man. They are all very honorable gentlemen & the d-l for taking up each others' quarrels." He recounts an attempt of "two youngsters" to waylay Lofland at a wharf over a perceived slight that was thwarted by cowardice. <br/><br/> unknown books
