1897170872Dehra Dún India: Surveyor General of India 1897. One of the greatest difficulties felt at the outset of the Tirah Campaign was the lack of topographical information Rare map issued on the eve of the Tirah Campaign; 750 copies were printed at the Office of the Trigonometrical Branch Survey of India in August 1897 two months before the outbreak of hostilities. Printed on linen and clearly intended for use in the field attrition rates would have been high: we have traced no copies among institutional libraries. In October 1897 one of the largest operations on the North-West Frontier involving 35000 troops under Lieutenant-General Sir William Lockhart was launched against the Afridi and Orakzai in the Tirah. "The two tribes had attacked several forts but also captured posts in the Khyber Pass which bordered the north of their territory. As Lockhart's main force crossed the Samana Mountains it found its route blocked by 12000 tribesmen occupying a steep ridge at Dargai" National Army Museum. Lockhart's troops suffered heavy casualties in the open ground in front of the Afridi positions but in a famous action the heights were stormed by the 1st Gordon Highlanders and 1st/2nd Gurkhas to the sound of Piper George Findlater's bagpipes. Lockhart's force then fought its way into Tirah and from its fortified camp at Maidan columns fanned out to pacify the surrounding valleys and regain control of the Khyber Pass. The expedition lasted until January 1898. As Captain H. L. Nevill points out in Campaigns on the North-West Frontier 1911 "one of the greatest difficulties felt at the outset of the Tirah Campaign was the lack of topographical information Many of the parts about to be invaded had never been visited by Europeans". An 1897 map entitled Rough Map of Tirah and Surrounding Country scale 1 inch = 2 miles measuring 930 x 60 mm issued at Simla by the Intelligence Branch is known only by the copy at the British Library. Photozincographed map printed on linen unfolded 740 x 1020 mm; folded 260 x 200 mm; scale 1 inch = 2 miles. Housed in a custom green cloth flap case gilt-lettered spine. Creased where folded peripheral toning some soiling on verso yet this remains in very good condition. hardcover

1865List2724South Carolina 1865. Single letter measuring 7.5 x 10 inches folded one double-sided sheet with stampless envelope. Near fine with light normal wear. George Harpole Vannada 1844–1928 was a private promoted to corporal in Company I of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The 25th Infantry was a volunteer regiment mustered in August 1861 and mustered out in July 1865. At the time of Vannada’s writing the Regiment was involved in the Campaign of the Carolinas – led by General Sherman this campaign would culminate in the Army of the South’s unconditional surrender and effectively end the war.<br /> <br /> Vannada writes that his regiment had “started with 25 days rations from pocotaligo staton for i supose Charleston.†On the way they had encountered:<br /> <br /> “a few Johneys i.e. Confederates not far off i have heard sevrel cannons to day we will be botherd with them all the way to Charleston between here and Buford they had a fort a bout evry 3 miles they wood stop and fire a few shots and then get up a bug for the next fortâ€.<br /> By “Buford†Vannada probably means Beaufort South Carolina which had been occupied by Union forces since November 1861. At this point the Savannah area had been essentially a refugee camp for freed people for several years and Sherman’s Special Field Orders No. 15 which settled them in the nearby South Carolina Sea Islands—the “forty acres and a mule†order—came in response to their request for stewardship over the land. Vannada remarks on Sherman’s order:<br /> <br /> “Gen Foster has been on Buford Iland for 2 years and now Sherman has comand of his troops i think they will get off now this Iland they have to give to the Niggars to setle on that is all that have famlies 40 acre to the manâ€.<br /> <br /> Vannada also accurately forecasts despite the fact that “we don’t often get any papers here to see what is goin on†that there “is some talk of peace down here but i think it is sevrel months off yetâ€. unknown
