JOHN GALBREATH
1862 HANDWRITTEN CIVIL WAR ERA MANUSCRIPT DIARY FILLED WITH EMOTIONAL INTIMATE HOMEFRONT WAR ENTRIES BY THIS EXPRESSIVE YOUNG TEACHER
Piercton Warsaw Bone Prairie Indiana IN. Fair. 1862. On offer is a superb handwritten Civil War homefront diary of a young man who lives in Pierceton Indiana who heads to Warsaw and Bone Prairie to teach school. On the very first page we read "John Galbreath's Day Book Bought in Warsaw Indiana of Mr. Lemon. March 26th 1862." He ends a year later on April 1st 1863. Although he's not a soldier this is one of the most unique and well written 'homefront' diaries we have ever read. Mr. Galbreath provides an intimate and a detailed emotional picture about what life must have been like for this young man during this terrible time when so many families were torn apart. There are a full 90 pages of personal and heartfelt entries and daily accounts of what his life was like; plus many fascinating war entries and super commentary and opinion from this young man and especially riveting account of the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing. Here are snippets: "March 26th I came to Warsaw this morning upon the train. Mr. Fletcher State Superintendent of Public Instructions addressed a congregation of teachers and directors on the subject of education at the Union School House. This afternoon at one o'clock and tonight he is to lecture on the same at the Methodist Church." "March 27th I staid with Otis Pratt last night. He and wife are both sick with Typhoid Fever. I arose early this morning and walked to the river where we use to go swimming while attending school in Warsaw. I visited Mrs. Cowan's school this forenoon and had an interesting interview with the teachers. Found the school progressing finely. Got aboard the train at 11 o'clock and soon found myself in Pierceton." "May 15th Last evening Mrs. Loring gave a party in honor to Alfred before he returns to the army. He started on his return last night." "July 4th Friday morning fifteen minutes after four. I have shot the gun blowed the horn beat the old tin broke to sung songs and what to get at next. I know not. I will content myself listening at the cannon firing in Pierceton. Boom-boom-boom it goes. Hurrah hurrah hurrah. Five by the clock. I am preparing to start to Pierceton money on hand 9.04. Eleven o'clock. Three couples of us George Morse and Charlotte Galbreath Mike King and Annie Moore John Galbreath and Lizzie Pottenger got on the express bound for Ft. Wayne. Arrived at Wayne at one. Took the bus for main street exchange hotel where we staid over night." "August 8th Hot. I went today to Pierceton. Several young men volunteered during the day. Quite an excitement prevails about drafting." "September 1st Today the board of examiners meets to determine who is exempt from the draft." "September 29th Forenoon favors rain. Afternoon rained but little. This day will long be remembered in Pierceton as the day when the Sherburn recruits left for the 44 Reg. Ind. Vol. There was a large crowd in town. Addresses were made by Rev. Clark. Rev. Davis and Dr. Marshall. A dinner was prepared for the soldiers." "October 4th and 5th Last night J. P. Chaplin gave a war speech at the Baptist meeting house. Today has been fair�.Last evening George Fraizer and Dr. Byerle addressed the citizens of Pierceton. Quite a political feeling was gotten up." "October 11th J. T. Doke and I moved to Warsaw today for the purpose of going to school. Heard Gov. Wright speak for three hours on the crisis. He goes in wholly and solely for putting down rebellion." "October 14th This is election day. The election passed off quietly. J.T. Doke Charlotte Galbreath and I moved to Warsaw today for the purpose of attending school. Turner and I spent the day in fixing up the bed and stove &c. Warsaw is full of soldiers. They expect to leave on the midnight train." "November 29th Snowed a little last night. We are on our road to our school in a sleigh but we find it poor sleighing indeed. Eat dinner at Mr. Gunter's where Martin is going to board. 4 by the watch. We are at Mr. Berst's the trustees waiting for him to come home from Warsaw. Mr. Berst arrived home about dark." "December 1st I commenced school this morning. I am unacquainted with my pupils their parents and even the school house. All things are strange to me here on Bone Prairie and I feel the need of some kind friend to take me by the hand and speak words of encouragement but I must rally my courage and cheer up with the idea that I am engaged in a noble work. My earnest desire is that I may do good and benefit the pupils under my care. May I ever for the end and may God help me in my humble endeavor." "December 17th A small skiff of snow fell last night. Several of us met last evening and organized a debating club in Oswego. Question for next evening resolved that Intemperance is a greater evil than slavery. Jos. v Cowan affirmative. M. v. Galbreath denies. 4 o'clock in the evening. I had a visitor today. Mr. Lieutenant Lew Rickeson called on me today and I was uncommonly glad to see him." 1863 "February 13th A fine day. Evening quite a company of young folks are at Mr. Beagles enjoying the unfair nicknaks. Playing and kissing the girls are the order of the evening until 3 o'clock." "March 19th Jas. K. Polk Phillips was buried today. Quite a large concourse of people were at the funeral. Polk was well respected and had a great number of friends in his native neighborhood. Yesterday I helped take up an infant corpse. It had been buried 15 years." Although the diary entries stop on April 1st 1863 there is a 7 page entry in the back having to do with a friend of his who died on July 30th. He titles it "Sanford is dying". I want to quote a bit of it here: "I and my friend H. had retired and after spending near half the night in conversation had exhausted nature and fell into a deep sound sleep. Presently I was awakened from my slumber by my father calling me by name. I arose instantly for a sad strange feeling came over me and I felt that something uncommon had happened. Whether or not this strange feeling was the result of my being awakened at that time of night I am not prepared to say. Certain it is I have been called up at all times of night and never before did my feelings so completely warn and impress me with the idea that bad news were in store. I instantly dressed and prepared to go to the sick chamber. My friend H concluded to go with me so accompanied with him and my father we repaired to the bedside of the dying boy. On our way we over took several of the neighbors going to see the dying Sanford. An inquiry here presented itself to my mind. Why all this stir.The sequel is the boy is dying and departed this life in about two hours after we entered the sick chamber. Not however until he had called his friends around him and talked of Heaven and his departure. After taking leave of his friends he composed himself quietly on his dying bed and in a few moments "Sanford is dead." He goes on with several pages more about Sanford and the entry takes on a religious tone. Then on the very back page is a fascinating account as it is taking place about the battle of Pittsburg landing: "April 1862 Great excitement prevails at present caused by the great battle of Pittsburg landing Tenn. This battle was fought April 6 1862. The Federal forces were commanded by Grant Wallace Buell and others. The rebels were commanded by Beauregard Johnson and Jackson. The slaughter on both sides was great. Among the killed is Wallace and Johnson. Later. Wallace is reported not dead yet. Island No. 10 was unconditionally surrendered to the Northern army on the 7th. 3000 prisoners taken and an amount of military stores. April 12 the public mind is trained to the last bent. Great events are just in advance and large armies are in sight of each other and evidently are on the eve of a great battle at Corinth. April 15th The news from Pittsburgh Landing is startling. ______battle was right there with heavy blows on both sides."

John H. Eggers
Dot and Don at School
New York NY: John H. Eggers 1924. VG/1924. This is an adorable 6 page children's story with an advertising Se-fly-go insecticide from the Selig Co. of Atlanta Georgia. The colors are bright and very typical for the 1920's. Illustrations on every page. This stands about 2 1/2 inches which entitles it to miniature book status. The one staple is a little rusty but is holding on very firmly. Not a spotless copy but remarkably clean. This may be a first; I have'nt found anything other than the copyright date-1924. This is one booklet of a series about Dot and Don. Comes to you in an acid free document bag for storage. I can have it in the mail tomorrow. BASC. Soft Cover pamphlet. Very Good/None as Issued. 64mo - up to 3" tall. Children's Book/Minature Book. John H. Eggers Paperback

John H. Lippert
1867 HANDWRITTEN CIVIL WAR ERA MANUSCRIPT LETTER REFERENCING THE CONFEDERACY RECONSTRUCTION STUMP SPEECHES
Spring Hill Navarro County Texas TX 1867. This is a great post Civil War letter to Capt Charles E. Culver who was on the Savannah during the Tybee Blockades and from John H. Lippert asking for help in his mission. It mentions him giving the captain an introduction to Governor Pease of Texas. It mentions Stump Speeches and helping the "Colored People". What is ironic is that Captain Culver does not want the Rebs or Rebels to get the upper hand yet he fought on the Confederate Side from what our research regarding him during the Civil War. It also mentions that he will help if he can get a guard to keep him from being assassinated! When he mentions the Heirarch Lyon he is evidently referring the Nathanial Lyon according to our research on this subject. Great Reconstruction content. Here are snippets; Spring Hill Navarro Co Oct 21st 1867 �s HDQT. I will be able to set you all right unless you have done something of which I am not aware. In that case of course I would fail to do you any good if Judge Waters is a Loyal Man as he professes to be. It does appear to me that he could be of great service to you at this time by making Public Speeches and instructing the colored people for the Judge is well informed and has a fine education and can doubtless make a fine Stump Speech. So he should stand by you in your efforts to sustain the Loyal Men in your District which I have every reason to believe you have done to the best of your ability for which I as a Loyal Man tender you my Thanks and Cordial Support and Cooperation in any way possible. And for your encouragement please permit me to say you have Thanks and Sympathy of all Loyal Men in Navarro County and let me say to you � Go on and faithfully discharge your duty and fear nothing but let your Watch Word be that of the Dying words of the Heirarch Lyon at Wilson�s Creek � Onward Boys � We�ll Whip Them Yet. Dear Capt. Yours of the 15th is at hand. I was not at home at the time or I should have went with you to Austin. But Permit me to say to you I will see Gov. Pease Governor Pease and put him all right as far as you are concerned of this you may rest assured. You say the Rebs will get the upper hand if I do not help you. I would ask you where is C.R. Waters P.W. Hall F. H. Miller and Co that they do not stand by you and Counsel the Colored People in their duty. Are they weak kneed You are doubtless a ware of the duties I have to perform and I have 10 Counties to cerp on the right track. But I expect to Resign my Position in a few days and then I will take the Stump if I can get a guard to prevent assassination and for this object I will go to Austin next week. Friend Culver I said something to you about Capt J.J. Emerson when I was at your place and you remarked you knew me better than you did a half hour before. If I could now see you I could tell you something more and could apprise you of the cause of mutch of your trouble and from whence they came. I doubt mutch if you are not mistaken as to YOUR E. M. Pease. I received a letter from the Governor last night on the main points of his views. When I see him I will lay your case before him for I am fully aware that you have the most Rebellious District in the state. This I can say knowingly as I am well acquainted with all the people of the Sou __ south and have been for years. Besides I have letters in my possession to fully prove the fact. So if you are not ousted before I get to H. D. E. F. Write Soon direct to Spring Hill Navarro Co. Believe me as ever your friend John H. Lippart. Clear and legible would be better save for some splitting along the folds. Good. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Manuscript. unknown

JOHN H. WING
1857 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM ONE BROTHER ABOARD A WHALING SHIP TO HIS BROTHER THE CAPTAIN OF THE BARK MATTAPOISETT
ASEA ABOARD A WHALING SHIP. Poor. 1857. On offer is a super original manuscript letter dated March 12th 1857 addressed to Captain Perry C. Wing on the Bark Valapraiso on the Atlantic. Here is a partial transcription: Dear Brother I suppose that you are situated in a far better place than a whaling vessel for a living and for happiness in this life I have thought a great many times that I should like to be as well contented on shore as you are you don't know what a difference there is in living on the water some thousands of miles from home and friends or living ashore in all the luxuries and pleasures of a happy home if a man or a boy knows when he is well off when he is situated in a good place he had better not think of whaling for a living for it is poor business for a man to get a living by in these days there are advise you and all couldn't read that part other boys never to once think of whaling I should like to hear from you and know what kind of a place you have got I know that you have got a better place than I have got if you have got any place at all for here they are cussing you up hill and down all the time There is no peace for the good or bad here for they will cuss you for doing a thing right and if you do it wrong they will cuss you so much the harder for it. sometimes I have a great mind to run away when we get in port and then I think it all over and let it drop and try to make the best of it. the mate and Captain are cussing on another all the time and one says he wishes the other was in hell and the other says the same and so they keep it up all the time the second mate says that he will leave the vessel before long if there is not better work and most all the crew will leave to. I expect and I do not blame them for doing so. and so things goes and look pretty gloomy sometimes it is enough to make one heart sick to look at. things for me have no oil nor have not seen any thing that looks like a sperm whale since we were out and I don't know as we ever shall. we are now bound into for water and couldn't read to curl and paint the ship. and I expect we shall get a few days sun ashore to knock the scurvy out of our bones and then when we come out I expect we shall go into the Indian Ocean and cruise next season and try our luck there at whaling It is some 4 months since I left home and I have been as well as usual in the past time and I hope you have enjoyed good health and a happy time to. I suppose that all the folks are well about and if not I hope they are but I don't think they trouble them selves thinking about me for while they are enjoying all the privileges and pleasures they do not trouble their minds much about a poor sea-faring fellow who is in as you might say a prison but I want you should give my best respects and love to them all and tell them that I wish it was my lot to be with them the night you get this letter. tell them all to write as often as they can and not guide forge . there old friend tell Ike dyer to be a good boy and mind papa and mamy. cannot think of much more to write now so I will bid you good night by simply asking you be a good boy. Love�. Rachel�.and albeit our relation not. Forgetting take a good portion for yourself please do write one a good long letter talking all about how things stand about home so good night.
