1862100336Newspaper folio unbound 8pp. Dampstained browned at edges with some foxing early owner's ink stamp on top margin some small tears and chips along edges and a little creasing. Still in decent shape overall. This is one of the earliest printings of the Emancipation Proclamation which was issued on September 22 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation declared freedom for all slaves in any Confederate state that didn't return to the Union by January 1 1863. Although this executive order did not actually free a large number of slaves it set the stage for the freedom of all slaves. Coverage of the Emancipation in this newspaper begins in the middle of the first page. This newspaper article represents important coverage of a very significant event in American History. archives government exhibits emancipation website

Very Good.<br /> <br /> "This commemorative print was issued soon after the assassination of President Lincoln to comfort his supporters. The semi-allegorized representation portrayed the former president as the emancipator of enslaved African Americans guided by divine principles" Description online at The Met. <br /> Entering Richmond in 1865 Lincoln was met by many former slaves who kneeled before him. Lincoln told them to stand and thank God not Lincoln for their freedom. A decade later the Colored People's Educational Monument Association headed by the African-American abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet. created a memorial to Lincoln. The result was a sculpture erected in 1876 in Lincoln Park near Capitol Hill depicting a supplicant slave and a towering Lincoln. Known as the Emancipation Memorial or the Freedmen's Memorial it generated some contemporary criticism for its depiction of the inferior position of the black man. <br /> Gale 2311.

18661009808vo one sheet printed on both sides. Even toning and aging small closed tear to the upper margin; otherwise very good. This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

186423084New York: Sold at 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8pp caption title disbound a bit of blank margin wear Good. At head of title: 'Document No. 12.' <br /> <br /> This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet portrays President Lincoln as an incompetent military strategist who perpetually "interfered with General McClellan both when he was general-in-chief and afterward when he commanded the brave Army of the Potomac." Worse Lincoln has "The Taint of Disunion." He not McClellan the Democratic presidential candidate supported the Jeffersonian right of revolution in a speech during his single term in Congress. He and other "ultra abolitionists" are the "original secessionists and disunion men." <br /> George McClellan wants the rebel States to return to the Union but Lincoln's policies render that impossible. Lincoln "regards the States as dead and gone. He magnifies and strengthens the position of the Richmond dynasty" by seeking to negotiate "only with Jefferson Davis." <br /> Monaghan 326. Not in LCP.

186454101New York: printed by Thomas R. Dawley 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8vo. 8 pp unpaginated. bound into mostly blank volume. Half-calf over marbled boards marbled endpapers raised bands on spine red black & gilt morocco spine labels minor scuffing wear to corners still VG copy from the library of noted New York City book collector Thomas Bell with his bookplate designed by Nancy Barnhart on front pastedown who was noted for his impressive library devoted mostly to Americana with many titles on Lincoln and sold at Anderson Galleries Auction in 1917. First edition of this scarce Democratic Party Copperhead influenced presidential campaign pamphlet perpetuating the complaints of mistreatment by Democratic candidate and former Civil War general George B. McClellan. This piece appears to have been published at the height of the Cold Harbor campaigns by the Union Army under command of Lieut. General Ulysses S. Grant which were suffering heavy casualties and significant blows to northern morale during the Civil War. The opening letter from President Lincoln denotes his complete confidence in Grant for the 1864 campaigns. In contrast McClellan has presented all of the attempts by Lincoln to encourage move troops and override orders from General as commander of the Union Army. In addition the Democratic ticket under McClellan wanted to negotiate with the Confederates immediately and place the agreement before the voters. Subsequent Documents included further charges against President Lincoln’s arbitrary arrests corruption and frauds Republican opinions about Lincoln and more. Dawley was self-styled as the Publisher to the Million and established himself at 13 and 15 Park Row as the “cheapest printer in the world†whose most successful Civil War publication was the best seller Incidents of American Camp Life.

186041812Chicago: Press & Tribune Office 1860. Caption title as issued. 44pp. Stitched. Widely scattered light foxing. Near Fine. At head of title: "PRICE 5 Cents per Single Copy; $3.00 per Hundred; $25.00 Per Thousand."<br /> <br /> The "stenographic report" Monaghan of the country's most significant political convention with a record of all activities including speeches platform and the balloting for President and Vice President. Unlike modern conventions the winner of this one was far from clear. Several formidable candidates-- including Seward Chase Bates and Fremont--- stood in Lincoln's way. Although he had planned his strategy with great intelligence Lincoln was a true 'Dark Horse.' <br /> "Instead of attending in person Lincoln was represented by his friend and campaign manager Illinois judge David Davis whose initiative and deal-making skills despite his candidate's disapproval of such behind-the-scenes maneuvering is widely credited with his eventual nomination. Davis did however follow Lincoln's instruction in forming their general strategy as he maneuvered throughout the building nicknamed The Wigwam. <br /> "To make up for his meagre resume compared to Seward and Chase his team thought it prudent to not go on the attack against the frontrunners and instead become 'everybody's second choice.' through the convention's ranked voting system. His campaign also used the convention to start forging Lincoln's image as the Rail-Splitter a reference to his working-class background and a potential golden opportunity to appeal to the common laborers in the industrial Northern states who stood to benefit the most from the Republicans' Free Soil ideology. They also made direct appeals to delegates from the critical swing states of Pennsylvania and Indiana. When voting began on the 18th Davis and his allies felt confident in their chances to pull ahead. The first ballot placed Seward predictably with the highest vote total of 173.5 but not enough to win a majority while Lincoln followed with a total of 102. The second round bumped Lincoln's total number of votes to 181. The momentum on Lincoln's side continued to surge into the third round where Lincoln received a total of 231.5 votes still not enough to be nominated until David Cartter leader of the Ohio delegation announced his decision to switch support from Chase to Lincoln making him the 1860 Republican nominee for President" American Battlefield Trust 'Inside the Wigwam'.<br /> Ante-Fire Imprints 504.

Very Good.<br /> <br /> Congressman Pomeroy of Auburn who represented New York in Congress during the Civil War years and early Reconstruction has high praise for Colonel Clark serving on the staff of General Banks and recently wounded in the advance on Port Hudson. <br /> In the earliest days of the War during the Baltimore disorders he "mingled during the day and following night with the populace and rioters gathered all possible information and on the following morning returned to Washington and laid the information before the military authorities. Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels." <br /> OCLC 768761257 1- Allen Cy Pub.

Booth was the leader of a group of pro-Confederate conspirators determined to prevent the South's defeat and when Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9 they decided to kill Lincoln and other key Union leaders hoping to destabilize the war effort and allow Confederate armies still in the field to rally.
