‎President Abraham Lincoln Uses Montgomery Blair His Postmaster General as a Conduit to Blair’s Brother Frank Who at Lincoln’s Request Was Resigning His Military Commission to Take a Seat in Congress‎

‎Frank supported Lincoln’s policies and the hope was he would help organize the House and perhaps even become Speaker In the Civil War era the Blairs were one of the most influential families in Washington. Francis Preston Blair Sr. had been from 1831 to 1845 Editor-in-Chief of the Washington Globe which served as the primary propaganda instrument for the Democratic Party. Blair was also a key advisor to President Andrew Jackson and in Jackson’s informal Kitchen Cabinet. But in the 1840s Blair though a slaveholder came to oppose the extension of slavery and left the Democratic Party over the Kansas-Nebraska Bill. He was a force in helping form the Republican Party in 1854. Blair supported Abraham Lincoln for President in 1860 and served as an advisor to Lincoln during the Civil War. His son Montgomery was Lincoln’s Postmaster General at a time when that was an influential Cabinet post and his other son Francis Jr. Frank was a Congressman and general in the Union Army. Montgomery Blair was the most conservative Republican in Lincoln’s cabinet and the Blairs whose family owned slaves represented the conservative wing of the Republican Party on emancipation. Frank Blair was the party’s “chief theoretician†for colonization of former slaves and the “best most passionate and most industrious proponent of a plan of gradual emancipation†according to historian Allan Nevins. The Blairs were at loggerheads with the Radical Republicans like Sumner who were actively gunning for Montgomery’s ouster and also for marginalizing Francis Sr. and Jr. In early April 1862 Congress with Frank in the House of Representatives and with his support voted for compensated emancipation for the District of Columbia. In the midst of this debate Frank rose to make a spirited defense of the President on April 11. Wrote Blair biographer William E. Parrish “To those who said that Lincoln had not policy Frank argued that the President’s main concern lay in preserving the Union. Refusing to believe that the South had seceded strictly over the issue of slavery Frank recalled those Southern leaders who had tried to pursue moderation and then made it clear that he considered the real cause of the war to be the ‘negro question and not the slavery question.’†Blair argued against full emancipation: “No wise man desires to increase the number of enemies to the State within the hostile regions or divide its friend outside. Mr. Lincoln knew that a decree of emancipation simply would have this effect. Such an act he knew was calculated to make rebels of the whole of the non slaveholders of the South and at the same time to weaken the sympathy of a large number of working men of the North who are not ready to see their brethren in the South put on equality with manumitted negroes.†President Lincoln’s Secretary John Hay recalled that one night in early December 1863 he John Nicolay and Secretary of the Interior John Usher were in the President’s office discussing the Blairs when Mr. Lincoln came and observed: “The Blairs have to an unusual degree the spirit of clan. Their family is a close corporation. Frank is their hope and pride. They have a way of going with a rush for anything they undertake especially have Montgomery and the Old Gentleman.†Lincoln had written Montgomery Blair with some advice to pass on to his brother just weeks earlier on November 2 1863: “I understood you to say that your brother Gen. Frank Blair desires to be guided by my wishes as to whether he will occupy his seat in Congress or remain in the field. My wish then is compounded of what I believe will be best for the country and it is that he will come here put his military commission in my hands take his seat go into caucus with our friends abide the nominations help elect the nominees and thus aid to organize a House of Representatives which will really support the government in the war. If the result shall be the election of himself as speaker let him serve in that position. If not let him retake his commission and return to the army for the country.†Lincoln went on to write: “It will be a mistake if he shall allow the provocations offered him by insincere time-servers to drive him from the house of his own building. He is young yet. He has abundant talents—quite enough to occupy all his time without devoting any to temper. He is rising in military skill and usefulness. His recent appointment to the command of a corps by one so competent to judge as General Sherman proves this. In that line he can serve both the country and himself more profitably than he could as a member of Congress upon the floor.†Thus Lincoln using Montgomery as a conduit to Frank recommended that Frank take his seat in Congress and work effectively there and if that brought insufficient results he could resume his military career. Thus at the request of President Lincoln Blair relinquished his command of the 15th Corps on December 11 1863 to return to Congress and resigned his commission on January 1 1864. It was accepted by Lincoln on January 12. In Congress Blair would defend Lincoln’s Reconstruction plans against radical elements of the Republican Party. He was equally courageous and aggressive on the battlefield and political field. Blair twice vigorously attacked Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase on the House floor and he had enemies in place in the Radical Republican wing. Blair failed to become Speaker of the House resigned his seat in June 1864 and was returned to military service by President Lincoln. On December 29 1863 just three days before Blair resigned his commission but after he had relinquished his command Lincoln called a Cabinet meeting. The topics discussed were not recorded and are unknown. Montgomery Blair and a few others were not present. On January 2 1864 Lincoln wrote to Montgomery Blair asking to see him. Autograph note signed on his note card Washington January 2 1864. “Will the Postmaster General please call and see me this morning A. Lincoln.†We speculate that the President was calling Montgomery Blair to the Executive Mansion to again use him as a conduit to his brother Frank and related to Frank’s taking his seat in Congress and the organization of the House. Perhaps the results of the December 29 Cabinet meeting were also discussed. This intriguing note to Blair is unpublished unknown‎

‎President Abraham Lincoln Appoints a Surgeon Who Served Throughout the Civil War‎

‎A very uncommon medical appointment signed by Lincoln with the appointee finishing the war as a brevet major Dr. Henry T. Legler came to the United States from Germany after participating in the failed democratic uprising there in 1848. He initially served as a surgeon with the 8th New York Volunteers a regiment composed mainly of native Germans. That unit participated in the pursuit of Gen. Thomas J. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley and as part of Gen. Louis Blenker’s division fought at the battles of Cross Keys and New Market. In the battle of Cross Keys its killed wounded and missing numbered 220 out of a total of 550 engaged. Afterwards Legler left that regiment and in 1863 was appointed a surgeon in another New York regiment a post he held for the rest of the war. He resigned in 1866 as a brevet major of volunteers. Legler came to Oakland CA in 1875 and acquired a large practice in his profession. His prominence in the medical world procured for him in 1881 the appointment as county physician in charge of the receiving hospital. He died aged 88 one of the oldest practicing physicians in the state. Document signed as President Washington July 1 1864 naming Legler Assistant Surgeon of Volunteers effective March 27 1863. The document is countersigned by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton unknown‎

‎The Compassion and Mercy of President Abraham Lincoln: He Saves a Poor Soldier’s Life Pardoning an Admitted Deserter Whose Crime Carried the Death Penalty But Who Pleaded That He had Deserted Because his Family was Destitute‎

‎The deserter also made the surprising claim that he was a War Department Secret Service asset whose work needed to continue Lincoln’s compassion and mercy are central to his legacy and the picture that has come down to us envisions him as a man who was generous of spirit who pardoned soldiers who fell asleep on guard duty showed leniency whenever possible even to deserters and aided widows and orphans. Because of his position as President he had opportunities to prove or disprove this reputation as many requests for pardons deferrals of executions and pleas to aid soldiers came to him. From the start of the Civil War Lincoln felt the weight of the sacrifice that so many families were making for the Union and he saw that tens and then hundreds of thousands of men – sons husbands and brothers – were dying. He was not anxious for any additional lives to be taken. He was especially interested in mitigating death sentences for military offenses such as desertion and was moved by the pleas made by fathers and mothers on behalf of children under arrest and incarcerated. So he spent time reviewing the results of army courts-martial cases. His writings show that he seldom turned the needy aside which did not meet with the approval of his generals or legal staff. Attorney General Edward Bates’ pardon clerk later wrote of Bates that he discovered “his most important duty was to keep all but the most deserving cases from coming before the kind Mr. Lincoln at all; since there was nothing harder for him to do than to put aside a prisoner’s application and he could not resist it when it was urged by a pleading wife and a weeping child.†Abraham Lower enlisted in the 72nd Regiment Pa. Volunteers as a sergeant on August 10 1861. He deserted and was arrested in 1863. On July 25 of that year he wrote directly to President Lincoln from his cell in Philadelphia. In the letter he admits deserting gives his reason why as being the destitution of his family and further states that though not in the U.S. service he was acting under commission of Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin and also aiding War Department secret service activities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He gives specific examples of his actions. The William H. Shearman he mentions was his brother-in-law but was surely a secret service agent in the War Department as records of that department show a large payment of $5000 to him for his activities in 1863. Lower claims to essentially have been involved in Shearman’s activities but whether he was or not is not known. Certainly he swings from a simple plea for mercy to claiming to be a War Department asset. Shearman went to see President Lincoln to plead for his brother-in-law’s life. He delivered Lower’s letter which reads in part: “The bearer of this document William H. Shearman a special officer in the secret service of the War. Dept intending to visit you in my behalf I deemed it proper to write a full statement of my case. At the breaking out of the Rebellion. I enlisted in the 19th Regt. P. V. for 3 months service and at the expiration of the term of service I was honorably discharged on the 10th of August 1861 I reenlisted in Co A. 72nd Regt. P. V. in December 1861. While the Regt. was encamped …I received very discouraging news from home my Wife & Child being sick and in a suffering condition without the means to live on and no one to take care of her all the male members of my own and her family being then in the Army in all making 7 men from the one family being thus placed. Without protection or a helping hand humanity demanded that I should risk all dangers to protect and save my family from starvation which was a staring them in the face with every prospect’s of a hard winter. I left my Regt. without proper leave and went home intending to return in a few days. But through force of circumstance and the earnest entreaties of my wife and mother not to leave them in a destitute condition without any supporter I was induced to remain at home. “At the time of the advance of the Rebel Army into Pennsylvania in September 1862 I was residing in Delaware Co Pa. On the call of Gov Curtin for Vol. I enlisted in a company from Chester Borough and was elected 1st Lieutenant. the company was attached to the 16th Regt. State Militia and went into service in the state of Maryland. I have a commission from Gov. Curtin to that effect on the return home of the Company I assisted Capt. Wm. Gray of Chester to recruit and fill a company for 9 months service which company was afterwards attached to a Phila. Regt. On Mr. Shearman’s getting his appointment I was appointed an aid by him and succeeded in aiding in the arrest of several abettors of the rebels. At the Point of Rocks I entrapped the spy Dobson now confined in the Capitol prison…At Seaford Delaware we arrested Dr. Hugh. Martin and several others: Knights of the Golden Circle whom we entrapped…we also seized the sloop Ramsey on the E. S. Md which was sold by the U. S. Commissioner at Phila. as a prize. I was transferred by Mr. Shearman to Col. Fish at Baltimore. and was empowered by him as an agent of the secret service in his Dept. While employed by him I succeeded in entrapping and and arresting a gang of blockade runners and abettors…Mr. Cook Post Master of Chaptico St Mary’s Co with a mail from Virginia and letters he wished me to take to Richmond. Mr Keys for sending information to the Rebel Govt. Mr Addison suspected of being a rebel agent. Mr. Dorsey a member of Jackson’s Army. Mr. Roberts with goods to take to Richmond. W. Goodrich H. Curnan and A. Helmlin acting as guides & Agent’s for Blockade runners…I have information of several parties who are sending communications to the South who I am positive I can detect having become connected with the Knights of the Golden Circle so as to enable me to entrap them with the knowledge I have of these parties I am confident I can benefit the Government in the present capacity more than I could in any other way. If I am granted the privilege of still continuing in search of them. “Having given a plain statement of my case and also of the services I have rendered the Govt. I ask of you as a Father & Gentleman. and as a Chief Magistrate and an officer who can appreciate the services I have rendered and who can temper Mercy & humanity with Justice to grant me all the benefits in a fair and impartial hearing that may arise in the consideration of my case. I am fully sensible of the wrong I have committed but I have tried to atone for it by doing all that laid in my power to assist the Administration detecting the enemy at home. even by placing my life in the balance in case I should be detected in exposing those who are plotting to destroy the Government. “Praying that you will look into my case in as favorable a light as possible and grant the begged for pardon either by ordering me to be transferred to Mr Shearman in the Secret Service or by ordering my discharge so that I can still continue to follow and bring to Justice those who are doing all in their power to prevent the reconstructing of the Union. By so doing you will never have cause to regret by any of my future actions and I will ever pray for your success in all your transactions and do all in my power hereafter to aid your wishes and that of the Government…Respectfully yours to Command Abraham. Lower Jr.†This letter is in the Lincoln Papers in the Library of Congress. Letter signed Washington August 4 1863 almost surely to Secretary of War Edwin M.

‎Lincoln Abraham‎

‎President Abraham Lincoln Original Signed Proclamation Conveying the Coveted “Thanks of Congress†to the Commodore Whose Victory in 1861 Led to the First Raising of the U.S. Flag Over a Confederate Fortification in the Civil War‎

‎Lincoln lauds Silas Stringham’s "distinguished service in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clarke.†In early 1861 the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army General Winfield Scott developed what he called the “Anaconda Plan†which aimed to squeeze the Confederacy by blockading its ports launching amphibious attacks at key points along the Southern coast and seizing control of vital inland waterways such as the Mississippi River. When the Civil War broke out the U.S. government began to implement this plan. In the opening months of the war there was little good news for the North and the public clamor for a victory grew daily. Instead on July 21 1861 the Battle of Bull Run resulted in disaster for Union arms. Frustration built and the U.S. Government became increasingly anxious to show that it had a viable plan and could field forces capable of winning. In this heated atmosphere in July and August the U.S. Navy began to establish the blockade. To complement this effort it determined to launch its first amphibious assault since the Mexican War: an assault on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. This locale was chosen because the Union leadership saw the value of seizing control of the navigable channels into North Carolina sounds as with these under control U.S. forces would be in position to take key points on the Carolina mainland. These coastal strong-points then would serve as bases from which they could push inland to disrupt vital Confederate agricultural supply areas and the rail lines of communication running through the state to the Confederate capital of Richmond. Possession of these waters would also help eliminate the threat to U.S. shipping from rebel privateers – a significant problem that threatened to grow and was already causing disruptions to trade as marine insurance rates in the north sky-rocketed. Hatteras Inlet commanded the entrance to North Carolina’s sounds leading Union commanders to decide to seize its surrounding shoreline first. General Benjamin Butler who previously had commanded the Union garrison at Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads became the landing force commander. Commodore Silas Stringham commander of the Atlantic Blockading Squadron led the supporting naval forces. The task force Stringham commanded was the largest that the U.S. Navy had assembled up to that point in the war. It consisted of three steam frigates three gunboats and a converted sidewheel steamer which all told mounted 149 guns including modern rifled naval guns. Rounding out the task force were two chartered vessels acting as troop transports and a collection of surfboats and auxiliary tugs. The transports and auxiliaries carried a landing force of two New York infantry regiments for a total of slightly more than 900 men. The immediate objective of the operation was the capture of two forts – Clarke and Hatteras – that guarded Hatteras Inlet. These forts comprised a significant part of the Confederacy’s military forces on the Outer Banks. On the morning of August 27 1861 Confederate lookouts at Hatteras lighthouse spotted Commodore Stringham’s ships on the horizon. Soon thereafter the Union warships began bombarding both forts pounding them with a steady stream of accurate fire. With the bombardment complete the Union army troops came ashore. Soon Fort Clarke’s garrison had retreated to Fort Hatteras where the Confederates were reinforced and put up their defense. For a while the advantage shifted to the southerners as bad weather drove Stringham’s ships out of firing range of the forts. But Union naval forces resumed their attack when the weather moderated the next morning and by late morning the battered Southern troops had had enough and Fort Hatteras surrendered. In the end no Union ground attack was needed because of the success of the naval forces under Stringham. In fact not a man on the Union side was killed. How happy was Lincoln to receive the news General Butler in his autobiography described the meeting he and Gustavus Fox Assistant Secretary of the Navy had with Lincoln in the White House to tell him the news. “…The President was called and when our errand was hinted to him he immediately came in his night shirt. Everybody knows how tall Lincoln was and he seemed very much taller in that garment; and Fox was about five feet nothing. In a few hurried words not waiting for any forms or ceremonies Fox communicated the news and then he and Lincoln fell into each other’s arms. That is Fox put his arms around Lincoln about as high as his hips and Lincoln reached down over him so that his arms were pretty near the floor apparently and thus holding each other they flew around the room once or twice and the night shirt was completely agitated.†The victory provided a much-needed boost to northern spirits and enabled the people to see that the Lincoln Administration’s plan to fight the war had substance and could bring victories. As such its political value exceeded its considerable military value. On the military side the Hatteras expedition demonstrated the central importance of naval fire support to amphibious operations. Additionally Stringham innovated by having his ships fire while on the move rather than anchoring and slugging it out with nearby shore batteries as navies had done in the past. This made the defenders’ task more difficult while not affecting the Union warships’ ability to put their ordnance on target. Stringham’s brilliant tactic was used extensively throughout the war by the U.S. Navy especially in taking control of the Mississippi River. Stringham was promoted from Commodore to Real Admiral. On July 11 1862 President Lincoln demonstrating his appreciation of the role Commodore Stringham had played in the struggle for the Union wrote to the legislative branch recommending that he be awarded the coveted Thanks of Congress. “I recommend…Silas H. Stringham now on the retired list for distinguished services in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clark he specified. The Thanks were voted and approved on February 7 1863. This made Stringham one of just 15 navy officers and 15 army officers ever to receive the Thanks of Congress during the Civil War. However due to administrative delays it was not until later that the paperwork was completed and the naval hero was sent his official appreciation. Just a day before his second inauguration President Lincoln who had initiated the process took upon himself the responsibility of conveying the Thanks along with his own personal sentiments. He did so in this communication Proclamation Signed Executive Mansion March 3 1865 to Rear Admiral Stringham. “It is my duty as it is my sincere pleasure to transmit herewith a copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress approved 7 February 1863 tendering you and the officers its thanks for your distinguished service in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clarke on the coast of North Carolina.†Interestingly although addressed to the Admiral and thus technically a letter because of its official nature Lincoln treated it as a document and executed it with his full signature. We cannot recall seeing another instance of Lincoln interjecting his own feelings into his wartime correspondence or documents which were almost uniformly impersonal and to the point. But with victory at hand he allowed his exuberance to show. The retained secretarial copy of Admiral Stringham’s response is present and adds his perspective. On March 6 1865 he wrote President Lincoln saying “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 3rd instant transmitting me a copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress approved 7 February 1863 and to express my appreciation of the honor conferred upon me as well as the pleasure which every officer must feel at the evidence that his efforts are appreciated by his country.†The congressional resolution mentioned in the letter is not present but stated “That the thanks for Congress be and are hereby given to…Rear Admiral Silas Stringham…†unknown‎

‎Lincoln Abraham‎

‎President Abraham Lincoln Appoints One of the Earliest 49ers and President of “The Society of California Pioneers†to a Senior Treasury Position in San Francisco‎

‎William Farwell was a prominent California editor who had campaigned for him in that state In September 1848 the print on the newspapers announcing the discovery of gold in California had barely dried before some enterprising young men began preparing to go there. One ship was chartered by 152 well-educated young men of whom Willard B. Farwell was one who named it after the famous statesman Edward Everett. At that time Everett was president of Harvard college and was a mentor to some of the wayfarers. As a going away gift he presented the company with 300 volumes of the works of major authors. The vessel left Boston January 10 1849 and arrived at San Francisco July 7th. The company brought with it a knock-down steamer hull cabin boilers and engine. A smaller boat was obtained and christened The Pioneer and it would be the first steamer to reach the gold fields themselves. The Pioneer launched on August 12 and five days later wrote Farwell himself the little Pioneer sailed up the Sacramento River reaching its destination early in the morning on August 19th. The miners already on site cheered until they were hoarse and the day was given up to jollification and whisky. Farwell stayed in California and became editor of a popular newspaper that supported the policies of the new Republican Party. Dr. Anson Henry Sen. Edward D. Baker and Abraham Lincoln were friends and prominent Illinois Whig politicos back in Lincoln’s Springfield days. Henry moved there to practice medicine when Lincoln was assistant surveyor of Sangamon County. Henry emigrated to Oregon when he was appointed Indian agent for that territory at the specific suggestion of Lincoln. The two men stayed in contact. In fact states “Mr. Lincoln & Friends†Anson “acted as the Administration’s eyes and ears†on the west coast. President Lincoln appointed him surveyor-general of Washington Territory in 1861. Edward D. Baker moved to California in 1852 and when Henry advised him that he could win the upcoming Senate election there Baker went to Oregon. He was elected and started serving in the U.S. Senate in late 1860. Lincoln was so close to Baker that he named one of his sons after him and was devastated when Baker was killed in action leading a Union regiment at the Battle of Balls Bluff in 1861. Henry and Baker were friends of Farwell who was also Baker’s biographer. One of these men clearly placed Farwell in touch with Lincoln and Farwell became involved in the Lincoln election campaign in California. As the Lincoln Papers in the Library of Congress point out Farwell was in direct communication with Lincoln about events on the West Coast during that campaign. Farwell predicted to Lincoln accurately that he would do well in the Golden State and in December 1860 wrote the President-Elect “I trust the result gave you sincere gratification.†he President-Elect asked Baker to make some recommendations for appointments to be made for posts on the West Coast. On April 3 1861 shortly after Lincoln’s inauguration Baker wrote him a letter on this subject: “I have named Mr Willard B. Farwell for Naval Officer of the port of San Francisco. He has been for four years and upwards the editor of the Daily Alta California the most influential independent public journal in California. In every crisis he has caused it to evince Republican tendencies and has rendered us immense aid and service. He has represented the city of San Francisco in the legislature. He has shown high courage when such a quality was greatly needed. He is a man of character talents and education.†Lincoln concurred. Document signed Washington April 15 1861 appointing Willard B. Farwell as naval officer for the District of San Francisco. The position of naval officer was not a military one; the naval officer was the chief deputy to the Collector of a port a Treasury appointment. Thus this document is also signed by Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. Lincoln made this appointment during the time when the U.S. Senate was in recess. He reappointed Farwell in July 1861 for the Senate’s confirmation. To illustrate the types of tasks this post involved Farwell went to Europe and the East to ferret out frauds in importations of wines. Later in life Farwell was President of “The Society of California Pioneers.†Document comes matted unknown‎
