53661Folio. 21 pages approximately 3500 words in pencil; accompanied by a letter to the editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal suggesting an effort to organize a Confederate reunion trip to Gettysburg folio two pages approximately 225 words. Poor quality paper very browned and brittle the text quite legible. An affecting personal manuscript memoir written near the turn of the 20th century by a private who served in Co. G. Camden Rifles of the 18th Mississippi Infantry a unit raised in Madison County Mississippi under the command of Col. Erasmus R. Burt mortally wounded at Leesburg in October 1861 and immediately sent to Virginia where it participated in most of the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia. Maxwell includes notes on some of the battles including Bull Run "Captain Adam McWillie was commanding our Co. and was killed. John Tucker Bishop and a number of others wounded and died at Hospital" Leesburg "We fought Gen. Baker killed him and captured all the force but we lost our Col. Burt and I lost one of my schoolmates Johnson Sutherland . H.F. Adams shot and his gun kicked he and I into a ravine close by just at that time Col. Burt was wounded and thought we were too and said boys lets get of the field if we can. He died" Malvern Hill "2 brothers dead . the bros. were Hansetts fell across each other. Baker Barnett & C. Hix was wounded and died at the hospital. we lost heavy but the victory was so complete in the main that Gen. Lee concluded to go into MD" Antietam "I put my hand on Gen. Jacksons foot in the stirrup as sat erect on his horse telling the men who had surrendered what to do. All this would have been grand to me if it had not been for the loss of another dear classmate Thompson Walker who was wounded and died at Charlestown Va." Fredericksburg "the most complete victory Gen. Lee ever won . we were well protected behind a stone fence. We never lost many but we killed dead on the field over 1000 men" Chancellorsville "Gen Hooker concluded he would go to Richmond . history will tell you how he got there" Gettysburg "a private soldier does not see of know much about a fight that he is engaged in but we had been cut to pieces . in fact there was but 8 out of 38 left of us" Chattanooga "We made a flying trip . the Yanks did not know who we were nor where we came from" Chickamauga "we did not lose heavy" and Knoxville "we kept exchanging fire . he missed me. I ran up to the pit and demanded them to surrender which they did and I captured two yanks with an empty gun" especially mentioning by name officers and school chums who were killed or wounded along the way. The manuscript ends rather abruptly at Knoxville before the unit returned to service in Virginia at the Wilderness. Along the way Maxwell records several anecdotes that bring his narrative to life an extended account of a day's trip back to an abandoned camp with Yankee troops near by to rescue the company's fiddle an account of dueling Yankee and Rebel bands finally playing and singing together at Christmas before Fredericksburg in 1862 another extended report of aid given to a young soldier who was searching for his dead brother killed at Chickamauga and an account of two young ladies met while traveling to Tennessee promising to pray for his safety and sending him a letter received while fighting at Knoxville. Maxwell closes his narrative in tragedy relating stories of one friend being shot as a deserter on orders from Gen. Longstreet in Tennessee and another at Gettysburg pleading to be "put out of misery" after having "his entrails shot all to pieces. We have not discovered any indication of publication. For the 18th Mississippi Dornbusch lists two publications both by Major Lamar Fontaine one of the Immortal 600 dealing primarily with his experiences as a prisoner of war. <br/><br/> unknown books

1839WRCAM31975Washington Ms 1839. Broadside 15 1/2 x 13 inches. Separated at vertical center fold. Slight chipping at edges. Light tanning and dampstaining. Good. A prospectus for Jefferson College providing course information and names of professors most notably Jacob Ammen who was a West Pointer teacher of military engineering and eventually lieutenant colonel in the 12th Ohio Volunteers under McClellan. A key point is the argument that the local boys must be kept close to home and away from the evil influence of the abolitionists of the North. Wales writes: <br> <br> "At this very moment a formidable contest has commenced between North and South from the possible results of which the eye of the patriot instinctively revolts.it surely becomes us to preserve our children from any influence that might mislead their judgement or weaken their patriotism. To do this effectively WE MUST KEEP THEM AT HOME!" <br> <br> Good evidence of defending regional education in the antebellum South.

19071873Southeastern Missouri 1907. About very good. Seventy-six silver gelatin photographs on twenty grey card leaves each image approximately 3.75 x 2.25 inches. Square grey cloth album string-tied. Light wear and soiling to covers. Contemporary ink inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and soiling to leaves heaviest on first three leaves. Leaves lightly warped. Two images excised. A charming vernacular photograph album depicting life along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the declining town of Gayoso Missouri. The caption on the front pastedown reads "These pictures made in the year of 1907 by Tom Pierce & Ed Cappoc at Goyaso Mo." Gayoso located on the banks of the Mississippi in the southeasternmost tip of the state was settled in 1799 and incorporated in 1851 as the county seat of Pemiscot County. By 1898 the movement of the river threatened to swamp the town and the county seat was moved to several miles south to Caruthersville. Though the river changed course and briefly spared Gayoso by 1900 its post office closed and today any remnants are buried deep in the silt of the Gayoso Bend Conservation Area. The present images show the town disappearing as the river eats away at large swathes of its surrounding land.<br/><br/>Several of the images depict flooding and high water -- trees standing in water men wading to cut lumber riverbank erosion and one image seems to show a collapsed pier. Other views show boats traveling up and down the Mississippi some ferrying lumber several large paddlewheelers and men poling lumber on rafts. One image shows a horse and buggy on what we presume to be the main street of Gayoso with a storefront visible behind the rig. Many of the images show the hardy folk who are still living in the remains of the dying town -- a woman and child in front of a clapboard house with a rotting porch and crumbling roof; a group of boys and three dogs all laughing in front of a building that may be the schoolhouse; one man apparently giving a haircut to his friend seated in front of some steps high water visible amongst the trees in the background; and several images which show men and boys logging and lumbering some of them standing in waist-high water while they fell doomed stands of trees. The album captures a slice of life on the Mississippi River at the turn of the century with all its attendant hardships commercial opportunities and dangers. unknown books
