1864428New York: Frederic A. Brady 1864. 8vo. 312 pp. plus 1 p. ads. Frontispiece caricature of the author at work. Bound in green publisher's cloth gilt decoration of the author on front board blind tooled decorated cloth; binding showing some wear and discoloration. Owners signature of Rufus Munyan Co. D. 18. C.V. Company D 18th Connecticut Volunteers. First edition. Comical narrative by a delusionary "adviser" to Lincoln whose letters pointedly featured the absurdities of war and the madness of the public administration during the 1860's. Barber's view is reflective of many New York writers whose view of Lincoln and the war was decidedly Democratic challenging the ferocity of the Radical Republicans who controlled Washington. Written by the satirist Joseph Barber who also published Crumbs from the Round Table 1866 and The American Book of Ready Made Speeches 1866. The anonymous illustration which introduces the text captures the manic nature of the author with a statue of Lincoln looming over his shoulder Wright Fiction II 210. Allibone's Critical Dictionary of English Literature Suppliment I p. 89. Frederic A. Brady unknown

1836List2949Clarke Cobb and Harris Counties Georgia 1836. Three documents. One four-page document measuring 5 x 8 ¾ inches likely previously a single sheet; water stained with some tearing at folds very good. One double-sided document measuring 8 x 10 inches; water stained and folded with large tears at folds possibly with part missing good. One single-sided document measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches. Water stained and folded with large tears at folds much damage to margins good. Overall good. Three legal documents in which William Barber buys and sells plots of land shortly following the establishment of Cobb County. In 1834 and 1835 Barber buys plots from John Gann and Elizabeth Kennon for $100 each and in 1836 sells land to Gilbert Rake for $500. Gann is possibly the plantation owner Cobb County pioneer and State Senator. <br /> <br /> These land contracts date to a time at which a small number of Cherokee—whose territory included present-day Cobb County—had voluntarily left the area following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 while a majority had not done so. The Indian Removal Act required Indigenous people east of the Mississippi River to cede their land to Euro-Americans and move west of it to so-called Indian Territory now Oklahoma. In 1835 the US government met with a group of Cherokee claiming to represent the tribe in New Echota Georgia and signed a removal treaty. When the majority of the tribe viewing the treaty as illegitimate refused to move voluntarily the US government sent the military to intervene.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Cobb County and land dealings between its early Euro-American residents during the removal of its Indigenous population. unknown

Daniel Barber has left a 'History of My Own Times' Washington 1827 in which he states that his father and mother were Congregational Dissenters of strict Puritanic rule and he continued in that sect until his twenty-seventh year when he joined the Episcopalians. Previous to this he had served two terms as a soldier in the Continental army" "Barber Family" by Thomas Francis Meehan Catholic Encyclopedia website accessed May 01 2026. <br /> "Daniel Barber came from good Puritan stock and was a fine upstanding Congregationalist minister. Until some Episcopalians convinced him that Apostolic Succession matters when it comes to ministerial Orders. So he became an Episcopalian priest. He was a fine upstanding Episcopalian priest for many years. He and his wife Chloe raised three children as good Episcopalians. But eventually the question of Apostolic Succession came back to him and he realized that Episcopalianism didn't satisfy the question of Apostolic Succession - the Catholics actually had it and the Episcopalians didn't. Meantime his son Virgil had also become a fine upstanding Episcopalian priest. He and his wife Jerusha were in charge of a good school and had a comfortable life with their children. But a chance encounter with a pamphlet on the life of St. Francis Xavier fired his heart to seek the faith that motivated a man like St. Francis to do what he'd done. Eventually Virgil and Jerusha became Catholic. Then Chloe converted along with a number of other members of the family. And finally Daniel also became Catholic. The entire affair was very upsetting to fine upstanding New England Protestant sensibilities and caused a sensation" "Barber Family" by Thomas Francis Meehan Catholic Encyclopedia website accessed May 01 2026. <br /> FIRST EDITION.
