‎The Success of Black Troops At Petersburg Virginia Under Butler‎

‎<p><i>"They grinned and pushed on and with a yell that told the southern chivalry their doom they rolled irresistibly over and into the work."</i></p> <b>CIVIL WAR.</b>Broadside. <i>New England Loyal Publication Society No. 200.</i> Boston Mass. June 27 1864. 1 p. 9 x 10¾ in.<p>A New York Tribune reporter praises the performance of the USCT: <i>"I find that in my account of the assault upon the rebel works in front of Petersburg I hardly did the colored troops justice. As before stated they held a position on the Jourdan Point road.They were first directed to assault the earthwork.the charge upon the advanced works was made in splendid style; and as the 'dusky warriors' stood shouting upon the parapet Gen. Smith decided that 'they would do' and sent word for them to storm the first redoubt. Steadily these troops moved on led by officers whose unostentatious bravery is worthy of emulation. With a shout and rousing cheers they dashed at the redoubt. Grape and canister were hurled at them by the infuriated rebels. They grinned and pushed on and with a yell that told the southern chivalry their doom rolled irresistibly over and into the work. The guns were speedily turned upon those of our 'misguided brethren' who forgot that 'discretion was the better part of valor.' </i></p><p><i>Another redoubt was carried in the same gallant style and the negroes have established a reputation that they will surely maintain."</i></p><p>With a discussion on using monies gathered from draft exemption payments to give bonuses when recruiting black troops in the South: <i>"as the government will continue to receive exemption money why should it not devote the sums which are likely to be thus gathered to bounties for soldiers white or black enlisting in the South. In that way the ranks could be kept full."</i></p><p>With reports on how the Southern planter aristocracy hates Lincoln and Johnson as running mate because both rose through the ranks of the <i>"common"</i> people.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Boston-based New England Loyal Publication Society and the Loyal Publication Society of New York was founded in 1863 to bolster public support by disseminating pro-Union news articles and editorials to newspapers around the country.

Wilson French is the </i>6 <i>only officer known to have been taken prisoner he was wounded in the engagement of the first inst & we are not aware of his being paroled</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background </b></p><p>The Battle of Gettysburg fought July 1-3 1863 was a major turning point in the Civil War. Over the course of three grueling days Union Major General George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac beat back desperate attacks by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia including the ill-fated "Pickett's Charge" on July 3. The Union victory ended Lee's short-lived invasion of the North.</p><p>Many soldiers of the 17th Connecticut had been stung by criticisms leveled at their unit after the Battle of Chancellorsville where the corps was surprised and driven from the field with a flank attack by Stonewall Jackson. As Brady reports here events on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg were eerily similar to Chancellorsville. On July 1 their regiment was again divided outnumbered and outflanked by the same Confederate unit as it had been at Chancellorsville although this time under command of Richard Ewell. As he drove the Connecticut soldiers from the field and through the streets of Gettysburg on the first day of fighting Union Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Fowler was killed. In a disciplined retreat that evening the 17th Connecticut fell back and was posted near the center of the Union line on Cemetery Hill near a stone wall. Their position where the Union lines' "fishhook" curved southeastward toward Culp's Hill exposed them to murderous crossfire from Confederate artillery on three sides. The unit sustained high casualties for the next two days; of the unit's 386 men at Gettysburg 20 were killed 81 wounded and 96 reported missing. Brady himself was wounded by a shell fragment on July 2.</p><p>The regiment performed heroic service on the second day of the battle protecting Cemetery Hill from the attacks of Jubal Early's division specifically Harry Hays's brigade of "Louisiana Tigers." The 17th Connecticut then withstood the Confederate bombardment of July 3 spending much of the day trading shots with sharpshooters in town. Brady's report in slightly revised and expanded form is reprinted in <i>Official Records</i> Series 1 Vol. 27 Chap. 39 Part 1 pp. 716-719. In closing there Brady said "The regiment behaved gallantly. No troops in the world behaved better. Both officers and men are deserving of great credit for their coolness and bravery throughout the entire three days' battle."</p><p><b>Allen G. Brady </b>1822-1905 was from Torrington Connecticut. He enlisted in May 1861 as part of the 3rd Connecticut Infantry Regiment. In August 1862 he was commissioned into the 17thConnecticut Volunteers. Brady was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel for his valor at the Battle of Chancellorsville just two months before Gettysburg. There Brady assumed command after the colonel and lieutenant colonel of his regiment each fell. Brigadier General Charles Devens commended Brady in his official report stating "The Seventeenth Connecticut under command of Major Brady – its colonel having been wounded and lieutenant-colonel killed – was in fact rallied and reformed in their positions." In October 1863 Brady was discharged for disability presumably from his wound suffered at Gettysburg three months previous. He was mustered into the Veteran Reserve Corps and served as Provost-General at the Point Lookout Union Prison Camp in 1864. He was brevetted Colonel in August 1865.</p>‎

‎African American Military History Civil War United States Colored Troops Petersburg Siege Stereoview 1864‎

‎1864. War Photograph & Exposition Company. On the Lines Before Petersburg Va. 1864 documents the presence and daily conditions of United States Colored Troops during the prolonged siege of Petersburg one of the final campaigns of the Civil War. The image captures four African American soldiers seated at the entrance of an earthen bombproof shelter while another prepares coffee over an open fire situating the scene within the entrenched warfare that defined operations outside Petersburg from 1864 to 1865. The photograph places Black soldiers within the logistical and survival routines of siege warfare providing visual evidence of their role in sustaining Union military operations during a campaign that culminated in the collapse of Confederate defenses and the end of the war.<br /> <br /> On the Lines Before Petersburg Va. 1864. Hartford CT: War Photograph & Exposition Co. circa 1864. Stereoview photograph measuring approximately 6 1/4 x 3 1/8 inches on a cardstock mount with series imprint image number and caption on recto. The image depicts four African American soldiers seated at the mouth of a dugout shelter with a fifth soldier below tending a large kettle over a fire. Visible objects include tin cups attached to long wooden handles likely used for heating over flames along with a pickaxe wooden barrel and a washbucket fashioned from a halved barrel. The verso includes a printed description noting that the view "gives a glimpse of the bomb-proofs in which our soldiers tried to live during the long siege at Petersburg 1864-1865; the campfire and the coffee-kettle look as familiar as in those days of yore" along with promotional text from the publisher concerning the difficulty of producing such wartime images.<br /> <br /> By late 1864 African American troops were consolidated into large formations including the XXV Corps of the Army of the James representing the largest organized body of Black soldiers in the war. Images such as this one provide direct documentation of their presence in front-line siege environments where extended encampment engineering labor and constant exposure to enemy fire defined daily life. The photograph contributes to the visual record of Black military service by focusing on routine activity within fortified positions rather than formal portraiture offering material for the study of labor survival and military organization among United States Colored Troops. Light toning and minor paper loss to mount edges and corners not affecting image or text; overall very good condition. unknown‎

‎Civil War Secretary of War‎

‎Archive of 8 Congressional Civil War Date Resolutions from the Secretary of War offering granular insight into the logistical fiscal and human dimensions of the Union war apparatus 1961-1965‎

‎1861. Archive of eight Civil War-date Congressional documents relating to the administration financing and logistical management of the Union war effort. Octavo pamphlets 9.75" x 5.75" 1861-1864. The group comprises eight separately issued documents totaling 22 pages each printed for Congressional distribution and addressing discrete military or legislative concerns arising from the conflict.<br /> <br /> The documents collectively illuminate the bureaucratic machinery sustaining the Union Army at the height of the war. Subjects include the transportation of troops the recruitment of new enlistees to replenish depleted regiments and the armament of fortifications-issues central to the rapid expansion of federal military infrastructure. Several items address the human cost of the war including provisions for pensions to the widows of deceased chaplains and soldiers underscoring the government's evolving responsibility toward military families. One document contains a detailed table listing the names ranks and compensation of aides-de-camp including captains lieutenant colonels and majors offering a rare printed accounting of mid-level command structure and remuneration during wartime mobilization. Other reports reveal the intersection of military necessity and civil administration: a resolution of the legislature of Maine critiques the inadequacies of the railroad route between New York and Washington-an infrastructural weakness with direct implications for troop movement and national security-while a transcription from the Paymaster General petitions Congress for increased salaries for the clerical staff of his bureau reflecting the administrative strain placed upon federal departments by the scale of the conflict. A seven-page pamphlet transmitting a Senate resolution concerning gun contracts further documents the contentious procurement processes that defined wartime industrial expansion and federal contracting. Very good overall with minor edge wear and light handling consistent with issued Congressional pamphlets. A cohesive and research-rich grouping of Civil War-era government documents offering granular insight into the logistical fiscal and human dimensions of the Union war apparatus at a moment of unprecedented national crisis. unknown‎

‎Civil War Soldier Writing Equipment Traveling Inkwell with Double Eagle Emblem from the Era of Wartime Correspondence circa 1860s‎

‎1960. Civil War Antique Traveling Inkwell. The Inkwell measures 2" in diameter by 1 ½" tall and is marked on the inside lid with a double Eagle Head. Civil War traveling inkwell circa 1860s documenting the portable writing tools used by soldiers officers and civilians during the period when written correspondence served as the principal means of communication between military camps and the home front. Letter writing played a central role in the daily life of Civil War participants providing a record of military experiences and maintaining family connections across long distances. Portable inkwells such as this example allowed writers to carry ink securely while traveling or serving in the field enabling soldiers and officers to prepare reports personal letters and official communications under campaign conditions.<br /> <br /> Portable traveling inkwell with screw top lid designed to prevent ink leakage during transport. The interior of the lid bears a double eagle device a symbol widely associated with the United States and commonly used in decorative and patriotic motifs during the nineteenth century. The compact cylindrical form allowed the container to be carried easily in a pocket or writing kit alongside dip pens and paper. Such inkwells were practical accessories for individuals who relied on handwritten correspondence during travel or military service.<br /> <br /> During the Civil War era portable writing equipment formed an essential part of everyday military life. Soldiers frequently wrote letters home describing camp conditions battles and personal experiences while officers relied on written communication to transmit orders and reports. Writing sets and traveling inkwells therefore became common items carried in personal kits throughout the war. Surviving examples provide material evidence of the communication practices that produced the vast body of Civil War letters preserved in historical archives. The inkwell measures approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1½ inches tall. Minor surface wear consistent with age and handling; overall condition very good. A compact artifact associated with the culture of Civil War correspondence and field writing. unknown‎

‎Civil War Confederate Loan‎

‎Confederate States of America $1000 Loan Certificate Richmond 1862‎

‎1862. Confederate States of America $ 1000 loan Bond with Coupons Richmond 1862. Original Loan with 23 coupons first 8/1865 With elaborate engraving and ornate boders Richmond October 1862. When the Civil War broke out the newly-formed Confederate States of America needed to create a monetary system to finance the government and the war effort. To raise money to finance its government the Confederate States of America issued bonds. This bond dates from late in the Civil War when printing too much paper money had created rampant inflation. The Confederacy began issuing bonds. After the Confederacy's defeat the U.S. government refused to cover Confederate debts making the bonds worthless as debt instruments or market securities. its bonds had no value and this bankrupted many confederate families. Over the following decades most of the worthless bonds were destroyed. Very good example complete with fully attached redemption coupons in very good condition. unknown‎
