THE DAILY CITIZEN. THURSDAY JULY 2 1863
Vicksburg Ms.: J.M. Swords Proprietor 1863. Folio broadside printed on wallpaper. Old folds closed tear in blank margin of one fold some spotting. Very good. The newspapers printed on wallpaper in Vicksburg during its siege were widely noted at the time and the Union troops who took possession of the city on July 4 completed and distributed the last issue standing in type. Numerous facsimile versions were published later. This is the first reproduction issue probably produced in the North as a commemoration later in 1863. Brigham identifies this as the first reproduction noting its minor variations from the original mainly the substitution of the article "Recent Federal Losses at Vicksburg" in the last column. Brigham details some twenty facsimile versions. Brigham "Wall-Paper Newspapers of the Civil War" in BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS FOR WILBERFORCE EAMES New York 1924 pp.203-9. J.M.

New York: Published by H. & W. Voight. Lith. by Kimmel & Forster 254 & 256 Canal St. 1865. Broadside illustration 9" x 10-3/8". Brightly colored mildly toned. Small spot at top blank margin. Upper margin of blank verso shows remnants from former taping. Lower blank forecorner chipped. Very Good. <br/><br/> "From building inscribed 'To let Apply Lincoln & Co.' Southerners at whom Negro thumbs his nose are moving 'C.S.A. Treasury' etc." Weitenkampf. Anticipating the end of the Civil War in Richmond the cartoon depicts Robert E. Lee collecting swords for placement in a cart drawn by two skeletal dogs Treasury Secretary Trenholm hauling away worthless Confederate bonds and a "Sheriff Sale" sign on the building. Bystanders look on. A dog urinates on a box entitled "C.S.A. Treasury. Waster Paper." <br/> Despite the title's date the cartoon was probably issued before May 1 that date being the artist's prediction of the time of the Confederacy's collapse. The reference to Lincoln & Co. suggests the President was still alive. <br/>Weitenkampf 148 recording a 1905 reproduction only. Not in Reilly.

Printed broadside text in two columns 9x11 1/2.A little browned a few marginal nicks and short tears tape repairs on verso; else very good. The platforms of the National Union Ticket supporting Lincoln for President and Andrew Johnson for Vice President is juxtaposed with that of the Democartic Party supporting George B. McClellan for President. According to the commentary the Union Platform wants to defeat the South through force of arms and end slavery. It seems that the Democartic Party is silent on the subject of slavery and is more interested in obtaining peace now. books

Hilton Head S.C. 1865. 113pp. Each disbound from a larger volume with two stab holes along the left margin. Overall very good.

Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon
<p>Showing Union troops arriving in Philadelphia from New Jersey via ferry and marching in formation towards the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon cheered on by Philadelphians. Text at the bottom lists members of the committee and men willing to accept donations for the saloon. This image became a choice souvenir for soldiers passing through Philadelphia.</p> <b>CIVIL WAR.</b>Print. <i>Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon of Philadelphia</i>. James Queen delineator and lithographer. Philadelphia: Thomas Sinclair 1861. In period frame 35 x 29 in. <p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon was organized in South Philadelphia in 1861 by grocer Barzilla S. Brown. He began informally distributing food to Union troops traveling through Philadelphia an important rail and steamer hub. The relief effort became official on May 27 1861. The saloon provided soldiers with food drink stamps and paper and offered traveling troops a place to rest. This initial effort differed in some ways from the later Sanitary Fairs that contributed to the care of sick and wounded soldiers. At this point the civilian members were catering to the needs of healthy new recruits.</p><p>In September the Refreshment Saloon added a hospital to aid sick and wounded troops. The saloon supported itself through donations of food clothing cash and later through admission cost to view the Confederate navy vessel <i>Ram</i> which was captured in 1863. After providing social and medical services for four years the saloon closed in late 1865.</p><p><b>James Fuller Queen</b> 1820-1886 apprenticed to learn lithographic draftsmanship. He drew a large variety of lithographs for large printing houses of Wagner & McGuigan Thomas Sinclair and P. S. Duval. He drew views of buildings cities scenic attractions newsworthy events portraits sheet music covers diplomas illustrations for magazines and other images. He also became an outstanding chromolithographer. His view of the "Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon" is one of Queen's most complex works and perhaps the one for which he is best known. He later drew the United States Sanitary Commission Fair in Philadelphia.</p><p><b>Thomas S. Sinclair</b> c. 1805-1881 was born in the Orkney Islands of Scotland and studied lithography in Edinburgh and other cities. He started his own printing firm in Philadelphia in 1838. He was among the first in Philadelphia to experiment with color lithography. From 1854 to 1859 his brother joined him in the firm of Thomas Sinclair & Co. Later his son worked with him in Thomas Sinclair & Son. He published three different hand-colored lithographs by Queen of Brown's Refreshment Saloon and its friendly rival William M. Cooper's Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon in 1861.</p> Thomas Sinclair books

Boston: L. Prang & Co. 1862. Large lithographic poster 38 x 26 inches. Backed with later paper. Old fold lines some minor soiling and wear. Minor loss at a few folds. Nearly very good. A handsome and large-scale map of Virginia from Norfolk to Lynchburg and north to Baltimore and Harper's Ferry. The explanatory cartouche indicates "The extraordinary large scale on which this map is drawn has been adapted to make it just what we designed it to be namely 1st. The most distinct map ever published of the whole Virginia Territory; 2nd. A Marking Map that is a map to mark the change of positions of the Union Forces in red pencil and the Rebel Forces in blue on the receipt of every telegram from the seat of war; for this latter purpose we want plenty of space and a distinctness combined with enough detail not to crowd but to enable us to follow the march of the army as advised by the telegrams. The pencils which we also furnish should be used with a light hand to enable obliterating the marks with the aid of a little soft bread if found necessary. These peculiarities combined with extreme cheapness will make this Map a welcome companion to every person interested in the pending struggle of our nation." L. Prang & Co. unknown books

Near Fine.<br/><br/> The AAS entry for this broadside states that the words at its foot "For sale by all news agents. Price $1 per 100" are identical to the language of several 1864 Republican campaign broadsides published by the National Union Executive Committee Astor House New York. "Presumably this edition was also published by the Republican Party's national committee."<br/> The broadside begins with "EXTRACTS from a Speech by ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS now Vice-President of the Confederate States delivered in the Secession Convention of Georgia on the 31st day of January 1861: 'This step the secession of Georgia once taken can never be recalled; and all the baleful and withering consequences that must follow as you will see will rest on the Convention for all coming time. To attempt to overthrow such a Government as this. is the height of madness folly and wickedness to which I can neither lend my sanction nor my vote'." In his 1868 book 'A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States' Stephens declared the Speech to be a "fabrication."<br/> There follows an answer to the question 'WHO COMMENCED THE WAR' "Those who would throw the guilt of the war upon the shoulders of Mr. Lincoln are requested to read the following catalogue of 'remarkable events' published in a Southern Almanac all of which occurred during the Presidency of Mr. Buchanan."

Civil War Black Soldiers
1863 "Negro Soldiers Speech" by Missouri Politician James S. Rollins during the Civil War
1863. Negro Soldiers Speech of Hon. James S. Rollins of Missouri Delivered in the House of Representatives Feb. 2 1863. Washington D.C.: L. Towers & Co. 1863. 8 pages. 5.5" x 8.5". Rollins was a nineteenth-century Missouri politician and lawyer notable for his role in establishing the University of Missouri. In this speech Rollins while a committed Unionist comes out against black soldiers entering into combat roles in the Union Army. He addresses Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax and is concerned that African Americans desire for vengeance against their Southern oppressors would bring the country to ruin. Rollins' support for the war extended only as far as the maintenance of the Union stating that "whenever it becomes a war of subjugation and of conquest or dwindles into a miserable abolition war to free the slaves of the South. then the sooner it is abandoned the better for the entire country." Despite the dissent of Rollins and the sizable element who shared his views Lincoln other leading Republicans like Speaker Colfax and military brass saw the value in forming African American regiments. In fact not long after the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry Regiment becomes were the first black unit to see combat in the Civil War as well as being the first black regiment organized in a northern state. The regiment served primarily in Missouri engaging the Confederates several times including at the Battle of Honey Springs. This speech is a interesting demonstration of the range of opinion within the Civil War era Republican Party and Unionist side more broadly. This speech has been separated from a larger volume; its binding is intact. Foxing along margins some mild toning. Very good condition overall. unknown

We had not more than time to form before the enemy were discovered advancing rapidly upon us on our right & a full Brigade obliquely towards our left. The Regt were ordered to fire obliquely to the left upon the Brigade our fire was so destructive it checked their advance the troops on our left giving way the enemy came in behind us but we still remained firmly at the stone wall until the rebels were driven back.</i></b></p><p><i>It was during this engagement that Maj. Brady was wounded </i>5 <i>by a fragment of shell hitting his right shoulder blade. </i></p><p><i>After the enemy had been driven back & the firing ceased except occasional shots from their sharpshooters.

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>

Civil War Black Troops
African American Military Enlistment Advocacy in Civil War Pamphlet 1863
1863. General Washington and General Jackson on Negro Soldiers 1863 a Civil War pamphlet advocating for the enlistment of African American soldiers in the Union Army. The pamphlet addresses Union military recruitment wartime policy and political arguments for Black enlistment. Drawing on historical precedent and wartime necessity the text argues for the integration of African American troops into Union forces.<br /> <br /> Unknown author. General Washington and General Jackson on Negro Soldiers. Philadelphia: Henry Carey Baird 1863. First edition. 8 pages. The pamphlet presents a structured argument combining moral appeal and military strategy asserting the necessity of Black enlistment for Union victory. It cites "authentic documents" including letters attributed to George Washington and Andrew Jackson Congressional records and state proceedings to demonstrate historical precedent for African American military service. A passage from Jackson's 1814 address to Black troops in New Orleans praises their endurance and discipline while references to Revolutionary War service describe free Black soldiers serving alongside white troops in Massachusetts. The text argues that millions of enslaved and free African Americans could contribute to the Union war effort emphasizing both their willingness to fight and the strategic advantage their enlistment would provide.<br /> <br /> Issued during a pivotal moment in 1863 following the Emancipation Proclamation and the formal authorization of Black troops the pamphlet reflects ongoing debates over military policy and racial inclusion within the Union Army. Its combination of historical documentation and forward-looking argument places it within broader efforts to legitimize African American service and reshape public opinion in the North. The text supports Civil War propaganda recruitment strategy and federal policy regarding Black soldiers. Light toning small separation along the spine of the final leaf; overall very good condition. A concise example of wartime advocacy for African American military participation. unknown

Civil War US Colored Troops
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
