[Civil War] [Women] [Cushman, Pauline] Sutterley & Co
Carte-de-Visite of Pauline Cushman
Virginia City: Sutterley and Co 1867. Albumen photograph on mount 4 x 2 ½ inches. Pauline Cushman was an actress and one of the most successful spies for the Union Army. She ingratiated herself with the Confederate army by toasting Jefferson Davis after one of her performances. She was eventually caught and sentenced to death by hanging. She was spared only due to the arrival of the Union Army. <br /> <br /> After the war she toured the country giving lectures and performances recounting her experiences as a spy. She eventually headed west marrying in 1872 in San Francisco and eventually working a range of jobs in Arizona Territory Texas and eventually back in San Francisco where she died in 1893 at age 60 from a morphine overdose. <br /> <br /> We find no record of this portrait which was taken by the Sutterley brothers James and Clement in their Virginia City Nevada studio somewhere between 1864 and 1867. The Sutterleys operated out of their studio on the Union block of Virginia City for five years before dissolving their partnership in 1867. It is likely that the portrait was taken during one of Cushman’s tours throughout the region during these years. <br /> <br /> A beautifully preserved example in very good condition with a small chip to upper margin and some fading. Though Cushman ostensibly would have sold cartes-de-visite in support of her touring few survive on the market today. Sutterley and Co unknown

Ms. Burke encourages her friend to write as conditions permit and to be safe and quickly return. She states "Hope points her beacon light so the happy day not very distant when you shall return to your native state covered with laurels and enjoy the blessing of peace purchased through much suffering. Our prospects are so bright at present. I cannot but think that the summer roses fade or the leaves of autumn wither the of War will ease its thunder and the glad notes of Peace shall re-sound once more through our Southern land. n.p. unknown

Civil War Era Student Autograph and Photo Album
Northeastern United State 1862-1863. Hardcover. Good. Original gilt stamped leather binding; 8vo; contains more than 50 photographic portraits gem-size oval albumen prints and one tintype each about 1 inch in diameter many accompanied by charming period sentiments contributed by numerous hands. Backstrip chipped and partially detached; several pages loose with staining from the adhesive used to mount the photographs. <br/><br/>A contribution by William Hancock begins "These photographs will ere long lose their brightness; the Autographs will fade; and become illegible; and the Book which contains them will feel the changes of time grow old and vanish away." Not so -- the photographs are in excellent condition overall just a few scuffed or torn from attempted removal; the autographs are perfectly legible; and though the book certainly shows signs of use and time it remains a nice record of a time and place -- mostly Mechanicville Academy. With the photographs and autographs of students from Brainard Albany Rochester Waterford Williamsville Amsterdam New Haven Saratoga Stillwater Brooklyn Castleton and more it offers a peek into New York Vermont and Connecticut. Circulated by a woman named Cornelia a few contributions are addressed to her but do not reveal a last name it includes entries by and images of: Mary Porter Belville Roberts Elizabeth Roberts Mary Leland John Leland Amelia Adams John Lawrence Cornelia Lawrence Libbie Sears Emily Smith Hiram Richardson Benjamin Baker and many more. hardcover

11 manuscript letters six on official letterheads of Quatermaster's or Assistant Quartermaster's offices. Archive appears to have been saved from a fire at some point as there is a bit of scorching paper a bit dry some staining darkening at some folds writing often faded a few tears at folds with some minor paper loss; otherwise in good condition. Despite the somewhat faded nature of the writing the content appears to relate mostly to transportation matters and supplies. The letters are from Louisville Columbus and Paducah mostly and provide some insight into the behind the scenes activities of the Union Army in this area.

[Civil War]
Collection of Fifty-Two Manuscript Newark City Council Resolutions on the Civil War
52 folded and docketed uniform manuscript resolutions mostly 4to typically written on one side and docketed on the back includes a contemporary cover sheet that originally held resolutions together two small pictures of Lincoln and Grant included housed in modern photo album. A few with folds at the top and minor chips normal aging and browning; overall in very good condition. These resolutions were passed by the Public Aid Committee which was created by the Newark City Council at the beginning of the Civil War to advance money to soldiers' families. These resolutions would then be given to a clerk for filing. This clerk seems to have had strong anti war or Copperhead sympathies and gradually began editorializing as he wrote out the docketing on the back of each folded document. He titled the 31 March 1862 resolution "For aid to families. in the war to abolish slavery." On 2 September it was "the war for the ruin of the country." On 26 November it became "the Negro War" and 2 December it says "the Army of Abm. Lincoln to subjugate the Southern States." This obscure city clerk took things a step further after the Emancipation Proclamation. On 4 February 1863 he titled a resolution "In aid of families of volunteers. in the Nigger War!" He must have been spoken to after this remark because he drifts into sarcasm rather than outright racism. In a later resolution he states "for the benefit of our coloured fellow citizens of African decent." However by 14 September 1863 he was back to his old tricks again referring to "Lincoln's nigger war." He continued his editorializing through June 1864. These docketed resolutons were found in the included wrapper on which a a Union soldier later wrote: "The name if it can be found out of the miserable traitor who booked the within resolutions should go down in posterity as one who should receive the contempt of loyal men." The name of that Union soldier appears to be Major W. W. Morris.

[Civil War] Moore, PhD, Albert Burton h D
Conscription and Conflict in the Confederacy.
New York:: Macmillan 1924. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine bright copy in clue cloth binding in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with a tear to the spine fold. In a book that has served as a standard source for generations of Civil War scholars Albert Burton Moore uses conscription to illustrate a central paradox of the Confederacy-in order to protect its commitment to states rights the Confederacy was forced to adopt tactics of centralized government. He examines the system's daily operations troublesome substitution and exemption procedures and ultimate collapse. Although he credits Confederate conscription with a high degree of success he blames it for causing dissension between state and national officials and for creating bureaucratic problems of colossal proportions.

[Civil War - New Hampshire] [Copperheads, or Peace Democrats]
Copperheads in Council! Declarations of the Leaders. Read and Ponder What They Say! Anti-Copperhead Broadside Produced for the 1863 Election
New Hampshire: Printer Unknown 1863. First Edition. Printed broadside 16 ½ x 11 ½ inches archivally mounted and matted. A very good copy with some light toning small closed tear at upper margin light foxing at upper margin very tiny spot of loss to illustration at fold. Franklin Pierce remained politically active upon his return to New Hampshire following his presidency advocating for the Democratic cause and generally opposing the Civil War and Lincoln’s policies. This scarce pro-Union anti-slavery broadside printed for the 1863 New Hampshire elections which happened March 12 takes aim at Pierce and his fellow Democrats repeating the unfounded claim first made in 1862 by William Seward that Pierce belonged to the secret Knights of the Golden Circle the secret society formed with the goal of forming a new territory out of the CSA Mexico Central America and the Caribbean. There was never evidence that Pierce had any involvement in the KGC though the society had members in southern parts of some Union states such as Indiana Ohio Illinois and Missouri.<br /> <br /> The broadside printed for the March 12 elections quotes heavily from Pierce as well as the other Democrat candidates and party officials who were either running for office in New Hampshire or involved in politics a group which included Ira Eastman John Goerge Josiah Minot Thomas Treadwell Daniel Marcy William Burns and George Stevens. The broadside includes an engraving of coiled snakes each with these politicians named and the caption “et id omne genus.†Eastman the Democratic candidate for governor won the popular vote but lacked the constitutional majority necessary for election. Marcy was successful in his bid for the First District. “Men of New Hampshire!†the broadside asks: “Will you Vote the Ticket Made up by Such Men†with the final line imploring to “Please paste up in a Conspicuous Place.†<br /> <br /> Overall an uncommon survival from the 1863 elections. A very good copy with some light toning small closed tear at upper magin light foxing at upper margin very tiny spot of loss to illustration at fold. Quite scarce with OCLC locating two copies only at the Huntington Library and the New York Historical Society. Printer Unknown unknown

[Civil War] Lamb, William
cover title The Battle of Fort Fisher North Carolina. drop-title The Defense of Fort Fisher
Wilmington NC: Harriss Printing & Advertising Co 1915. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. illus. As issued in printed wrappers. Only minor soiling and wear to the wrappers. A nice copy of an uncommon and perhaps the first separate edition. <br /> <br /> Lamb's narrative was originally printed in Battles & Leaders 1887-8 see Dornbusch II 737. University of Virginia identifies this present edition as "1890 " but it is certainly a 20th century publication. Our research suggests that Harriss Printing & Advertising was active under that name from 1912 to the early 1920s. One may speculate this edition was issued in 1914 around the semicentennial of the battle. Whatever the case this is an extremely uncommon edition and likely the first separately printed of this interesting narrative of the North Carolina 2nd Artillery.

[Civil War]: [Battle of Bull Run]: [Tillman, William]
Daily Sentinel Extra.To-Day's Dispatches. The Latest. Union Forces Retreating. Union Loss 3000
Indianapolis IN: July 22 1861. Broadside 16.75 x 8.5 inches on newsprint printed in three columns. Old folds moderate foxing and toning some creasing. Overall very good. An informative newspaper extra from Indianapolis printing recent dispatches about very early Civil War activity from Washington D.C. Kansas City New York and Baltimore with some homefront news printed in most of the last column. The most notable news printed in two separate dispatches "From Washington" on July 21 and 22 details the disastrous Union losses at the First Battle of Bull Run also know to the Confederates as the First Battle of Manassas. The news begins: "Our troops after taking three batteries and gaining a great victory were eventually repulsed and commenced a retreat on Washington." The news gets worse from there as the dispatch relates that "the carnage was tremendously heavy on both sides and on ours is represented as frightful." The report of Bull Run an event couched here as to "the intensest degree disastrous" comprises about half of the total space on the broadside frantically recounting the loss of troops and armaments the state of remaining supplies the panic of the retreat and the reinforcement of Washington following the retreat. Other war news is related from Kansas City regarding the recent skirmish on July 18 at Harrisonville Missouri New York noting the arrival of the schooner S.J. Waring here identified incorrectly as the "Waiving" and Baltimore concerning the arrival of General Dix.<br /> <br /> The news of the Waring's arrival in New York is particularly interesting for the heroic backstory of its recent capture and re-capture described here: "She was captured by the privateer Jeff. Davis on the night of the 16th. When fifty miles south of Charleston the steward Wm. Tolman colored killed three of the prize crew with a hatchet and the two others were released on promising to assist in working the vessel." "Wm. Tolman" was actually William Tillman a free African American working on the Waring as a steward and cook. After capturing the ship the Confederate prize crew of the Jeff. Davis told Tillman he was now southern property and he would be sold into slavery once the Waring landed in the South. Tillman and other passengers aboard the Waring hatched a plan to re-capture the Waring. Long story short Tillman killed the captain master and first mate and proclaimed himself master of the ship. His heroism was celebrated at the time and would later be recounted in William Wells Brown's The Negro in the American Rebellion Boston 1867. Some historians believe Tillman's heroism contributed to Gideon Welles' decision to open enlistment though admittedly highly restrictive enlistment for African American sailors in the U.S. Navy two months later September 1861 a full year before Black soldiers could enlist in the Army.

Albert Hunter; endorsed on verso "Deduct $2 85/100 from fare to Balto - Discharged D.S. Miles Col. 2d Inf." Very Good. <br /> <br /> Dixon Stansbury Miles 1804-1862 was a veteran or the Indian Wars and the Mexican War. Promoted to Captain in 1836 he fought in the Seminole Wars in Florida from 1839-1852. He was promoted to Major in the Mexican War for "gallant and distinguished conduct" in the defense of Fort Brown Texas. He fought at Monterrey and the Siege of Veracruz after which he was appointed Brevet Lieut. Col. for "gallant and meritorious conduct in the several conflicts at Monterrey Mexico." During the Civil War he was given command of the U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry where his garrison held Confederate General Lee's supply line through the Shenandoah Valley. Despite a gallant war record he ended his life in infamy. He was killed in battle in September 1862 after having foolishly positioned his troops. Wikipedia writes "Some historians have concluded that Miles was struck by artillery deliberately fired by his own men but there is no conclusive proof. The resulting surrender of 12419 men was the largest number of U.S. soldiers surrendered until the Battle of Bataan in World War II. The court of inquiry into the surrender denounced Miles for "incapacity amounting to almost imbecility."<br /> Albert Maxwell Hunter 1833-1911 of Adams County Pennsylvania enlisted with Co.

Isle Nostre Dame Paris chez Michel Mettaier imprimeur ordinaire du Roy 1648. . First edition; 4to 22 x 17.5cm; 3 folding plates each approx. 35 x 26 cm 2 engraved portraits woodcut initials and decorations throughout the text engraved armorial book-stamp to last leaf verso displaying motto 'light in darKines lumiere dans les tenebres'; one integral blank leaf title page stained and browned some marginal staining and browning throughout creasing to corners one small wormhole affecting 4 leaves; side-stitched contemporary marbled wrappers worn and soiled with extensive loss to upper wrapper; 14 39 1pp.<br /> A curious and rare anonymous English Civil War pamphlet published in Paris by Michel Mettaier sometimes spelt Mettayer in 1648 following the capture of Charles I by parliamentarian forces the previous year. <br /><br />The first part of the work consists of three large folding plates depicting the House of Lords the House of Commons and the Convocation of Canterbury with explicatory notes explaining the history and function of these bodies in the English parliamentary system. The latter part of the book contains an original address to Henrietta Maria Queen of England illustrated with facing engraved portraits of the Queen and the Prince of Wales and signed simply 'le bon et loyal svbiet'. It introduces a short statement in both English and French allegedly translated from an original Latin version which purports to be the words of Liudolf c.930-957 an Ottonian Duke of Swabia and grandson of the German king Henry the Fowler 919-936. The text claims that Liudolf did not die in 957 but rather feigned his death to take exile in Mantua in the hope that his descendants would one day regain his power and prestige. The tale was likely intended by the royalist author to offer hope to the exiled queen and her son who were soon to become widow and orphan to the executed king.<br /><br />Rare. We can trace only 5 copies in institutional collections worldwide: 3 in the UK British Library Durham University and the University of Leeds and 2 in France BnF and Bibliotheque Saint-Genevieve.<br /> Isle Nostre Dame, Paris, chez Michel Mettaier, imprimeur ordinaire du Roy, 1648. unknown
