‎DAILY JOURNAL EXTRA. WILMINGTON N.C. JULY 4 1862‎

‎Wilmington N.C. 1862. Broadside 15 1/4 x 11 inches printed in three columns. Moderate toning and foxing. Four-inch closed vertical tear at bottom edge no loss of paper. Very good. A Confederate newspaper extra reporting the failure of the Union's initial Peninsular campaign around Independence Day in 1862. From March to around the time of this newspaper extra General George McClellan launched an offensive campaign against northern Virginia which was intended to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. Facing a series of crafty Confederate generals including John B. Magruder Joseph E. Johnston J.E.B. Stuart Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee McClellan's tactics proved fruitless in capturing Richmond and he was eventually recalled by President Lincoln to prepare for the Second Battle of Bull Run the next month. This newspaper extra issued by the Wilmington North Carolina DAILY JOURNAL reports the "Yankees in Full Retreat" after receiving news from "a couple of free negroes" that McClellan's forces were headed north. There are also reports of deserters from McClellan's army being captured detailed passages on the path of the Union army's retreat and reports on the movements of other military units. In addition the text relates news on Confederate attempts to gain "early recognition of the Southern Confederacy" from European powers noting that Confederate diplomat John Slidell had "indicated the immediate prospect of recognition by the French Government." There are also passages covering Confederate wounded captured Union soldiers from the 7th Indiana the Confederate government's support "in comfortable quarters of some eleven hundred lazy runaway negroes" and more much of which is reported from other sources. No copies of this extra reported in OCLC. A rare Confederate newspaper extra recording mostly positive results for the Confederacy during a particularly good summer for the southern cause. unknown books‎

Historical Background: Music played a prominent role in the American Civil War. On the battlefield and in the camps it boosted morale and released tensions. On the homefront it helped individuals and families express political sentiments grief and longing. Music entertained and often carried political religious and social messages. "The Year of Jubilee or Kingdom has Come!" was written by "Sambo" and first published in 1862 by H. M. Higgins in Chicago. "Squire Jones's Daughter" tells of the virtues of "The prettiest girl in the State of Maine" and was copyrighted by New York publisher Henry De Marsan in 1860. "The Sweet Birds Are Singing" is a cheerful pastoral duet about springtime that dates to at least 1836. "On a Green Grassy Noll" by J. D. Canning was first published in Boston in 1852 and is an elegy for a nameless old farmer who has "ploughed his last furrow." "The Old Mountain Tree" is a ballad in the form of a quartet by James G. Clark first published in 1854. It expresses longing for an old homestead. Clark 1829-1897 enlisted in the 35th New York as a 1st lieutenant and was detailed to remain in the recruiting service. He used music in his efforts to enlist soldiers in the cause and was dubbed "The People's Poet." "Lament of the Irish Emigrant" is a ballad by Helen Blackwood 1807-1867 with music by William R. Dempster 1808-1871 first published in Boston around 1840. It tells the story of an Irish emigrant who has buried his wife Mary and their child. Blackwood Baronness Dufferin and Claneboye was a British songwriter composer poet and author. Dempster a Scottish singer was very popular in the United States. "Soon and For Ever" is a sentimental hymn by J. B. Monsell about the Christian's union with Christ in Heaven. Rev. James Samuel Bewley Monsell 1811-1875 was an Irish Anglican clergyman and poet. He wrote the poem in 1853 or earlier.Condition: Very minor soiling else near fine.<br /> books‎

‎<p>Group of three daily diaries for 1861 1863 1865 and two others for 1866 and 1867. Together five diaries. Various places: 1861-1867. Each 12mo morocco wallet style bindings four black one red. Diaries for 1861 and 1863 in pencil others combination of pencil and ink. All bindings are worn 1863 is more so and a couple have some tears along edges and hinges. The 1866 diary has more significant wearm and some cracks along the edges. Group of 10 pages are loose in 1863. Condition of writing varies but generally fairly legible. Overall the group is in very good condition.Herrick was from Syracuse New York and served in Company D of the 110th Regiment of the New York Volunteers. However information from the National Park Service archive suggest he served with the 12 Regiment out of New York. He appears to have served during the siege at Port Hudson and did garrison duty at the infamous Union prison Fort Jefferson in Florida. The first diary covers his enlistment in April 1861 to the end of that year. The diary describes training and the trip to Washington where the regiment was reviewed by President Lincoln. It appears that in July 1861 he was discharged for medical reasons but for some reason he re-inlisted in August 1862. The diary for 1863 covers the entire year and includes descriptions of the siege and assault on Port Hudson. Herrick seems to have been ill during this period and stayed in camp a lot.  In February 1864 Herrick and the 110th began garrison duty at Fort Jefferson the much reviled Union prison located on Garden Key Island in the Gulf of Mexico.  While Herrick’s descriptions often seem somewhat monotonous the weather his health which ships came in his impressions of various drills this diary is one of very few first hand accounts inside the prison. There are some interesting entries including a prison detail discovering coffins while digging a foundation for a new building  an officer arrested for selling whiskey to prisoners and a prisoner being "strung up" for stealing. Perhaps the most significant content of this diary is related to Lincoln’s assassination. In an entry on April 22nd a ship brings news to the prison "they had three prisoners slung up for rejoicing over it" Then in an entry dated July 24th the naval transport Florida brought three of the Lincoln assassination  conspirators Samuel Arnold Michael O’Laughlin and Dr. Samuel Mudd to the prison.  This prison wasn’t known for kindly treatment of prisoners the weather usually very hot and humid and the place was infested with bugs and misquotes. The food was what you would expect and Samuel Arnold was reported to have said the meat was so rotten "dogs ran from it." nps.gov/civilwar/soldiers</p> books‎

Some foxing at the margins else Very Good.<br/><br/> This is an extremely rare lithograph by Duval depicting General Joe Johnston's surrender of his army to General Sherman on April 18. "Peter Stephen Duval the most prominent Philadelphia lithographer of the 19th-century was born ca. 1804/5 in France. He emigrated from France to Philadelphia in the fall of 1831 to accept a job as a lithographer with the printing firm of Childs & Inman. By 1837 he had established his own lithographic printing shop and remained in business until his retirement in 1869" online Library Company article on Duval. <br/> "Sherman studies the surrender terms as his vanquished opponent Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston waits with evident unease in this rare depiction of the meeting at the Bennett House in Durham North Carolina. The print erred in showing the principals with their staffs; Sherman remembered that 'we were alone together.' Unlike Appomattox the Bennett House surrender quickly had a shadow cast over it when the War Department disallowed Sherman's terms and this scene never rivalled the meeting of Lee and Grant in iconographic memory."

‎Janesville Wi. 1862. Broadside 8 1/2 x 6 inches. Light wear and foxing. Very good. An unrecorded Civil War broadside publicizing a dispatch from Union Gen. George B. McClellan following The Seven Days' Battles which occurred between June 26 and July 2 1862. In the course of that week Union and Confederate forces fought a series of battles in five different locales. At the end of these engagements the Confederates withdrew to Richmond. This EXTRA provides information about losses and casualties and states: "Gen. McClellan and his big staff all agree that the position of our army is far more advantageous as a base of operations against Richmond than that hitherto occupied." Although most of the battles in the Seven Days can be considered Union victories the overall outcome of the campaign was still not particularly successful for the Union due to McClellan's weaknesses as a commander in the field. Afterwards the Union's Peninsular Campaign was abandoned and the majority of McClellan's men were transferred to John Pope's army in Northern Virginia. unknown books‎
