‎Civil War Folk Art Barber Alexander‎

‎A Civil War Soldier's Carved Wooden Folk Art Memorial to his Service in the Union Army c. 1863‎

‎N.p. 1863. Dark carved wood 11 ½ x 11 ½ x 1 inches with bone border and star inlays in corners an inlaid tree with carved names of Civil War battles as leaves. During the Civil War wounded or captured soldiers would often pass their time waiting to return to duty carving relics. The practice was fairly common with pipes being the most commonly carved object and the quality of the relics varied wildly depending on the talent of the soldier. A.H. Barber from Wisconsin was wounded at Antietam and most likely carved this memorial piece while recovering from his wounds. Each leaf notes a different battle during the 1861-1862 campaigns. Barber enlisted in Company C of the 2nd Wisconsin in 1861 and was discharged in 1863 following wounds suffered at Antietam. The trunk reads Battles for the Union and the four branches read Dept. of the South Army of Virginia & of the Potomac and Dept. of the West with twenty-nine leaves naming battles. <br /> <br /> The resultant plaque is exceptional in timeliness craftsmanship and overall aesthetic beauty. Barber's metaphorically growing tree is particularly timely for the Union cause as the 1863 failure of the Maryland Campaign would serve as inspiration to Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Wonderfully preserved in excellent condition with no notable flaws. From the collection of Norm Flaydernman the noted Americana dealer who personally collected carved Civil War pipes and had been planning to write a book on the subject at the time of his death. unknown books‎

‎AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT HISTORY OF COMPANY F 1ST NEW YORK INFANTRY SIGNED BY COMPANY COMMANDER 2ND LIEUTENANT JOHN S. BRUSH‎

‎Virginia 1864. Folio 8" x 12". Three loose leaves making 6 pp completely in ink manuscript. Occasional short separations at folds light age toning and soiling some edge wear with slight loss of text. Overall Good. <br/><br/> The 1st New York Infantry Regiment was mustered for two years of service in April 1861. After serving at Big Bethel Fair Oaks Malvern Hill Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville they were duly mustered out in May 1863. This history by 2nd Lieutenant John S. Brush details the organization of the company and its movements. The Company arrived at Big Bethel on the morning of June 10th 1861 formed a line of battle remained under the enemy's fire for nearly two hours before being ordered to retreat. They moved on to Newport News where the Rebel Iron Clad Merrimac shelled the garrison for two hours before retiring; no casualties were reported. Onward to join the Army of the Potomac and to the White House plantation on the Pamunkey River on June 4 1862. Then to Savage Station then joining the battle at Peach Orchard where Privates Carlisle Ferris Patrick Culhane & Edward Corcoran were killed and Privates William Rodgers Frank Cox & Thos. Hillman were wounded. Later at Glendale "Captain John H. Carter was dangerously wounded while gallantly rallying his men to the contest" and was taken prisoner while Sergeant Joseph E. Fallon "seeing the colors falling into the hands of the rebels rushed forward under a heavy fire from the enemy and secured two of them." Other battles and casualties are mentioned followed by a list of soldiers who were killed transferred discharged deserted etc. With a Recapitulation signed and dated by John S. Brush at Potomac Creek Virginia 4 April 1863.<br/> John S. Brush born c. 1840 was mustered into the New York Infantry in 1861 a 1st Corporal and was mustered out a 2d Lieutenant. Brush had an interesting life following the war. 1880 Federal census records list him as a resident of Sing Sing Prison. Unfortunately this Civil War veteran went into the forgery business. By 1903 he had spent more than 20 years in Illinois and New York State prisons because of his "expertness in 'free hand' imitation of signatures and handwriting" versus the more common tracing method making him "one of the most dangerous professional forgers operating in this country." He was so good that those he had imitated at times would identify his forgeries as their own signatures. In 1903 Brush pleaded guilty yet again to forgery and was sentenced to another five years imprisonment at Dannemora prison. By the 1910 U.S. Federal Census he was living at the National Soldiers' Home in Tennessee.
