‎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

‎Just a Few Weeks Before the 1860 Election Abraham Lincoln Writes from Springfield Sending His Autograph to a Young Man‎

‎Letters of Lincoln so close to the fateful election are not common The Presidential election of 1860 was perhaps the most consequential of American history. Abraham Lincoln defeated Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge Democrat Stephen A. Douglas and Constitutional Union candidate John Bell. The electoral split between Northern and Southern Democrats was emblematic of the severe sectional split particularly over slavery and in the months following Lincoln’s election and before his inauguration in March 1861 seven Southern states led by South Carolina on Dec. 20 1860 seceded from the Union setting the stage for the Civil War. Willis Ogden was Colonel of the 23rd N.G.N.Y. National Guard of New York. He was an educator a philanthropist and a patriot and for more than fifty years was prominent in Brooklyn financial and civic affairs. He would serve as president of the Board of Trustees of the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In 1860 he was a young attorney. Letter signed Springfield Il October 13 1860 too Willis L. Ogden. “Dear Sir Herewith I send you my autograph which you request. Yours truly A. Lincolnâ€. The text is in the hand of John Nicolay Lincoln’s secretary and biographer unknown‎

‎Lincoln’s Oft-quoted Letter Written Early in the War to his Treasury Secretary Vividly Demonstrating the Emotion and Strong Loyalty of the President‎

‎In making anti-slavery Republican Lewis Clephane the Post Master of Washington he disappointed “my old friend Nathan Sargent which wounds him and consequently me very deeply†“There is an office in your department called the ‘Commissioner of Customs… I will be much obliged if you agree for me to appoint Mr. Sargent to this place.†Lewis Clephane was the manager of the “Washington Era†an anti-slavery newspaper courageously operating in the nation’s capital at a time when it was not popular to take that stand there. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of its contributors. She wrote what became “Uncle Tom’s Cabin†at his request after he asked for a story to serialize in his newspaper. In 1855 he and four other colleagues formed a group called the Republican Association of Washington and sent forth the call for the formation of the Republican Party. The next year he also put forth the call for the first Republican National Convention and served on its executive committee. Clephane campaigned for Lincoln in 1860 and in fact was president of the Washington Wide-Awakes. After Lincoln was elected he changed the name of his paper to the Washington Republican. For his many services and his political strength and support in the capital the new President felt obliged to offer Clephane a federal position in the city and settled on the postmastership. Nathan Sargent was a Whig who had served as sergeant at arms of the House of Representatives during Lincoln’s term in Congress from 1847-9 and was then Register of the U.S. Treasury. The two were friendly at the time and remained so afterwards. In 1859 Sargent wrote Lincoln setting forth his plan to unite the Republicans with old Whigs in the South in opposition to slavery for the 1860 election but while Lincoln appreciated the suggestion and support he realistically told Sargent “If the rotten democracy shall be beaten in 1860 it has to be done by the North; no human invention can deprive them of the South.†Sargent knew Washington and after Lincoln’s election hoped for the postmastership for himself. Lincoln had to make a choice for Postmaster of Washington D.C. and he chose Clephane. But he was unwilling to simply disappoint Sargent and found another position for him of as great or even greater import. And to accomplish the result he sought he wrote to Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase. Autograph letter signed Executive Mansion Washington May 10 1861 to Chase requesting Sargent to be given a post in the War Department. “My dear Sir: I have felt myself obliged to refuse the post-office at this place to my old friend Nathan Sargent which wounds him and consequently me very deeply. He now says there is an office in your department called the ‘Commissioner of Customs’ which the incumbent a Mr. Ingham wishes to vacate. I will be much obliged if you agree for me to appoint Mr. Sargent to this place.†Chase’s endorsement on the verso reads “Received May 10 ’61. Desires appointment of Nathan Sargent as Commissioner of Customs.†Chase complied. Sargent served as Commissioner of Customs from 1861-67. After he retired he wrote a book “Public Men & Events from the Commencement of Mr. Monroe’s Administration in 1817 to the Close of Mr. Fillmore’s†unknown‎

‎Lincoln Strikes Back Against the Claim That He Would Intervene to Thwart a Corruption Investigation Defending Himself From the Presidential Aspirations of One of His Team of Rivals‎

‎An Important Communication in the Power Struggle Between President Abraham Lincoln and Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase For Control of the Republican Party in 1864 Lincoln defends his integrity to Chase and states that such attacks are against the public interest; He criticizes the performance of Chase’s men in the New York Customs House and seeks to replace them with his own men “This Mr. Bailey as I understand having been summoned as a witness to testify before a committee of the House of Representatives which purposed investigating the affairs of the New-York Custom-House took occasion to call on the Chairman in advance and to endeavor to smother the investigation saying among other things that whatever might be developed the President would take no action…The public interest can not fail to suffer in the hands of this irresponsible and unscrupulous man.†As early as December 1862 Republican leaders met to express dissatisfaction with the Lincoln administration and there was continuing organized criticism over the next year that caused Lincoln much grief. Then in 1864 there was a movement to replace Lincoln at the head of the Republican ticket which became strong enough that Lincoln despaired of his renomination. Lincoln put the blame squarely on Salmon Chase his Secretary of the Treasury whom he said was at the bottom “of all the mischief.†Hiram Barney was a Republican whose wife was the daughter of noted abolitionist Lewis Tappan who played a key role in the defense of the slaves who captured the Amistad. Lincoln was entertained by Barney while visiting New York for his Cooper Union speech in February 1860. After the speech it was Barney who took Lincoln out to dinner at the Athenaeum Club on Fifth Avenue. Barney was a political ally of Salmon P. Chase of Ohio who viewed Barney as his chief New York sponsor. However Barney supported Lincoln at the May 1860 Republican National Convention when he realized that Chase was out of the running for the presidential nomination. After Lincoln was nominated Barney traveled to Springfield to meet with Lincoln and consult regarding potential cabinet appointments. Barney enthusiastically supported the ticket and raised $35000 in New York for the national ticket. This would be the equivalent of over $1000000 today. Newly inaugurated President Lincoln appointed Chase Secretary of the Treasury. The greatest prize within the Treasury Department was the collectorship of the port of New York a place highly paid honorable and through its large number of employees a means of affecting the politics of New York City and State. Lincoln named Barney Collector of the Port of New York. Lincoln later related “You remember that when Hiram Barney was appointed at the beginning of this administration collector of the port of New York everybody supposed that he was Chase’s selection and nobody else’s. Now Barney was as much my choice as he was Chase’s; and when Chase Seward and myself standing round that table Barney’s appointment was decided upon I believe that I was the most gratified person then present.†But in office Barney was was a lightening rod for trouble. He was not politically active enough to suit Chase’s supporters was soon out of favor with the anti-Chase faction in New York that was loyal to William Seward appointed Democrats to posts in his department and was widely and credibly accused of corruption. Barney made noises about resigning but did not. Meanwhile in early 1864 Barney’s enemies spread stories that he was supporting Chase for President and opposing President Lincoln’s reelection. Moreover Lincoln had his eye on the New York customs house because he feared the embarrassing corruption scandals might hurt his chances in New York in the November election. At this time Barney had drifted into the Radical Republican orbit and some radicals sought to replace Lincoln at the top of the ticket with Chase’s at least tacit approval. So there was growing pressure on Lincoln to remove Barney but Chase came to his rescue both for political and personal reasons. On a personal level Barney had quietly and unbeknownst to Lincoln lent Chase a substantial sum of money so Chase was in his debt and Barney managed Chase’s New York real estate. He was too good a friend for Chase to sacrifice. Lincoln wrote Chase rather gently on January 11 1864: “I am receiving letters and dispatches indicating an expectation that Mr. Barney is to leave the Custom House at New York. Have you anything on the subject.†But Chase made Barney’s retention a question of personal honor. In response Chase defended Barney writing Lincoln: “Nothing at all except urgent representatives of the necessity of reform which do not at all impeach Mr. Barney in whose integrity I have undiminished confidence.†Chase also told Lincoln “I am to-day fifty-six years old. I have never consciously and deliberately injured one fellow man. It is too late for me to begin by sacrificing to clamor the reputation of a man whom I have known for more than twenty years and whose repute for honesty has been all that time unsullied. I shall not recommend the removal of Mr. Barney except upon such show of misconduct or incapacity as makes it my duty to do so. In such a case I shall not shrink from my duty.†This did not satisfy Lincoln who was fed up with Chase and his protege Barney. On February 13 1864 the President told Attorney General Edward Bates that he had decided Barney must go. Then he asked Secretary of State William Seward to find a diplomatic post for Barney which he did - the ambassadorship to Portugal. Barney’s position was additionally undermined by the actions of a Chase lieutenant Joshua S. Bailey special agent of the Treasury at New York who was supposed to investigate corruption in Barney’s customs operations but but who threw Lincoln under the bus telling the Congressional committee investigating him that “whatever might be developed the President would take no action.†Furious at the false and slanderous allegation that he tolerated corruption the day before he told Bates that Barney must go Lincoln wrote Chase directly. Autograph letter signed Executive Mansion Washington February 12 1864 to Chase trying to ease Barney out smoothly while . “My dear Sir: I have felt considerable anxiety concerning the Custom House at New-York. Mr. Barney has suffered no abatement of my confidence in his honor and integrity; and yet I am convinced that he has ceased to be master of his position. A man by the name of Bailey whom I am unconscious of ever having seen or even having heard of except in this connection expects to be and even now assumes to be Collector de facto while Mr. Barney remains nominally so. This Mr. Bailey as I understand having been summoned as a witness to testify before a committee of the House of Representatives which purposed investigating the affairs of the New-York Custom-House took occasion to call on the Chairman in advance and to endeavor to smother the investigation saying among other things that whatever might be developed the President would take no action and the committee would thereby be placed unpleasantly. The public interest can not fail to suffer in the hands of this irresponsible and unscrupulous man. I propose sending Mr. Barney Minister to Portugal as evidence of my continued confidence in him; and I further propose appointing ___ Collector of the Customs at New-York. I wrote the draft of this letter two weeks ago but delayed sending it for a reason which I will state when I see you. Yours truly A. Lincoln.†In his original retained draft Lincoln had indicated that he would appoint Preston King a former Republican U.S. Senator from New York who was then practicing law. Apparently Lincoln thought twice about naming specifically naming King or anyone else under the circumstances so left the name blank. And Lincoln was right about Bailey who it turned out was more corrupt than the people he was investigating; Bailey eventually fled to avoid prosecution for embezzlement. Chase replied to this letter the next day and sought to keep Lincoln from acting to replace Barney without his consent. “I was surprised and pained by your letter this morning. Misrepresentations I am sure must have been made to you about the New York Custom House. I regret that I was not earlier consulted in a matter which so deeply concerns this Department & still trust that before you take any definitive action you will confer with me fully on the subject. I shall be ready at any hour which may suit your convenience.†Lincoln later said that Chase had threatened to resign from the Secretaryship of the Treasury if Barney was removed and that he the President gave in once telling a Treasury aide on this subject “Well I backed down again.†Illness now interfered in the communication between Chase and Lincoln on the issue. Lincoln replied on February 13 that “On coming up from the reception I found your note of today. I am unwell even now and shall be worse this afternoon. If you please we will have an interview Monday.†In the midst of this patronage controversy Lincoln learned of the distribution of the “Pomeroy Circular†advocating Chase’s candidacy for President just 10 days after sending this letter. Chase offered to resign on February 22 and on February 29 the President wrote the Treasury Secretary: “Whether you shall remain at the head of the Treasury Department is a question which I will not allow myself to consider from any stand-point other than my judgment of the public service; and in that view I do not perceive occasion for a change.†Lincoln was not yet ready to let go of Chase. Lincoln again unsuccessfully pushed the Treasury Secretary to dismiss Barney on June 6 1864. He paid Chase a visit. The President opened the conversation on the persistent custom-house problem. After he gave his opinion an unfavorable one about Bailey he went on to speak of Barney’s replacement. Chase as usual was well prepared and his tone of voice was self-assured. He denied that Bailey had been so indiscreet to say what he was alleged to have said and he backed this statement up with a detailed account of Bailey’s activities. Chases’s biographer wrote: “This personal conference removed the difficulty for the time being; there is some reason to suppose that Chase again threatened to resign and that the President again gave way. In late June 1864 Chase sought to replace the well-respected John Cisco as Assistant Treasury Secretary for New York with a clearly unqualified candidate of suspect political loyalty. Lincoln fearing an open revolt among Republicans and voters urged Chase to select from among three alternative candidates. Chase rejected them and instead persuaded the incumbent to withdraw his resignation forcing the President’s hand. When Chase sought a meeting with Lincoln he was rebuffed “because the difficulty does not in the main part lie within the range of a conversation between you and me.†On June 29 Chase once again resigned and this time Lincoln accepted. “I thought I could not stand it any longer†the President confided to his secretary John Hay. With Chase gone from the cabinet and the new Treasury Secretary William P. Fessenden not committed to Barney’s retention Lincoln was free to make a change. As Barney explained to Chase the President requested his resignation “as a personal and political favor of great value and importance to him.†In late August Lincoln’s secretary John G. Nicolay was dispatched to New York to make the necessary job shifts. After a conference Barney submitted his resignation. Simeon Draper was named to replace Barney and he was in office until August 1965 when President Andrew Johnson named Preston King to replace him. Barney remained loyal to Chase - serving on a presidential organizing committee in 1868. He was at Chase’s side when he died. Lincoln realized that Chase had a constituency within his own party and rather than let a competent enemy battle with him for years going forward in December 1864 Lincoln kicked Chase upstairs and named him the 6th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. This removed Chase from politics and at the same time placed a reliable and capable Republican in that office unknown‎

A small octavo measuring 7 1/2 by 5 inches with very light rubbing to the cloth at the ends of the spine and foxing to the end sheets. Without a dust jacket. Written in pencil on the title page beneath the pseudonym Heclawa the following inscription appears: "From the author A. Lincoln Himmelwright" The upper edge of the title page bears the name of a previous owner in pencil. Also of interest facing page 172 is a photograph titled "The Return to Kendrick" of six horsemen surrounded by many men standing in front of a building. Someone has drawn in pencil an arrow connected to one of the horsemen to the author's name also written in pencil. Given how obscure the faces of anyone are in this photograph it would have been the author or someone with first hand knowledge to make this identification. 259 pages of text and appendices followed by a fold-out map of the "Clearwater Basin and adjoining Territory" of what is now Idaho and western Montana. Illustrated with a frontispiece eleven engravings eleven photographs and one line drawing. The author published this book using a pseudonym due to the controversy surrounding the discovery of this lost hunting party for leaving their cook George Colegate behind unable to walk and thinking he was close to death.

‎Lincoln Abraham‎

‎As the Army of the Potomac Seeks to Outmaneuver Lee President Abraham Lincoln Writes to General George Meade Detailing a Plan to Help Sick and Wounded Soldiers‎

‎A rare war-date letter on engraved letterhead of the President to Major General Meade seeking Meade's approval for an arrangement that would lead to a donation of $200 per month for the needy soldiers In March 1864 Ulysses S. Grant was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln commander of the Union Armies. His headquarters would be with the Army of the Potomac commanded by Gen. George G. Meade. So though Meade would retain his post as leading that army Grant would be his superior in command the actions of Meade's army and the other Union forces. Grant developed a strategy to defeat the Confederacy by placing his army between the rebel capital of Richmond and Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. In his Spring offensive in 1864 Grant and Meade confronted Lee's army a number of times in very bloody engagements in which both sides suffered great losses. The Battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania were essentially draws but resulted in huge casualties. After each battle Grant's armies moved southeast to try to create a wedge between Lee and Richmond but Lee's army successfully followed up the engagements by foiling that maneuver. The United States Sanitary Commission cared for the Union's sick and wounded soldiers and promoted clean and healthy conditions in army camps. It held fairs in certain large cities around the country mainly in 1863-4 to raise funds for its activities. Lincoln’s personal assistance to benefit these fairs is well known as he contributed notes documents and signatures to be sold or auctioned at the fairs. It turns out that he also intervened on behalf of others seeking to donate to the fairs. A little known aspect of the war relates to the material left behind by the soldiers who left a trail behind them as they moved. This included clothing and other rags that they no longer needed were useless in their present form or which they had to discard because the loads they carried in their backpacks were too heavy. One enterprising former soldier John C. Swift who had served in the Union Army from 1861-1863 wrote Lincoln on March 4 and March 9 1864 offering to pay $200 per month to the Sanitary Commission for the exclusive privilege of picking up clothing cast off by Meade's and Grant's army. This subject touched close to Lincoln's heart so he intervened directly Meade though it was during a period of intense conflict when tens of thousands were fighting and dying. But realizing that there might be logistic issues rather than insist Lincoln left the decision up to Meade even while indicating his own willingness. Autograph letter signed on engraved Executive Mansion letterhead Washington May 251864 to "Major General Meade Army of Potomac. Mr. J. C. Swift wishes a pass from me to follow your army to pick up rags and cast-off clothing. I will give it to him if you say so otherwise not. A. Lincoln." If Meade responded history does not take note of that response an unsurprising development given the hostilities in which his troops were involved at the time. It is noteworthy that knowing this Lincoln still chose to intervene on Swift's behalf a testament to Lincoln's interest in the well-fare of the soldiers cared for by the Sanitary Commission. Just days later the Battle of Cold Harbor would commence hardcover‎
