‎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 books‎

‎<p>Oblong 8vo cloth gilt title on top cover and spine illustrated. Top hinge a little weak but firm some extremity wear and back cover wear normal aging; otherwise very good plus. This little work includes a short history of political caricature from James Gillray to Thomas Nast. This is a charming collection of political humor that includes views on major events to those that have long been forgotten. The themes are of course relevant to the day and express sentiments at that time. Some are racist like a cartoon of Abe Lincoln sitting on a woodpile labeled the 'Republican Platform' showing a black person under the pile and with a caption "The Nigger in the Woodpile." Another cartoon features a general representing the Union hitting various Southern leaders linked to secession with a club. </p> Brentano's, books‎

‎Manuscript Letter from General Andrew Porter to Captain William W. Averell.‎

‎<p>Folded letter sheet 2 1/2 pages of text with original mailing envelope no stamp. Light wear normal aging legible hand; overall near fine. General Andrew Porter 1820-1872 was born in Pennsylvania and was the grandson of Revolutionary War General Andrew Porter. Porter was also related to Mary Todd Lincoln. He served in the Mexican War and was a Brigadier General at the Battle of Bull Run. Porter was appointed Provost Marshall General of the Army of the Potomac in 1862 and left the service in 1864 for health reasons. This letter to Captain William Averell appears to be written in somewhat secretive style. He tells Averell to mail a letter to a Mrs. P. that is under a newspaper. " I will return when it is safe to leave Mrs. P. or sooner if pub." He tells the captain to "please telegraph me at once if anything of importance turns up or I am needed with the command." He goes on to tell Averell keep the s pol.service with us. Much reputation is to be gained by carrying it on or aiding it successfully. This is probably a reference to the Secret Police that was headed by Allan Pinkerton at that time and who were very busy hunting down Confederate spies at that time. He also talks a little about other military matters including a troop build-up in Philadelphia. find a grave website.</p> books‎

‎Manuscript Letter Signed by a New Jersey Soldier to His Family Describing Battle Action in the Civil War.‎

‎4 pages on one leaf 4to with original envelope and typed transcript. Normal aging and browning slight separation at folds. The letters were written by George Roden who was born in 1841 from Newark New Jersey who was the son of English immigrants and served in the 2nd New Jersey Infantry regiment. He was a corporal when this letter was written. The letter is addressed "Dear Folks at home" and tells his family how happy he was to receive their letters after waiting so long but he also includes a description of the Battle of Gaines' Mills; 'Our four companies left as they were without any support whatever to contend with over a brigade of the enemy surrounding us on three sides they poured in an awful cross fire but even amid that and their insane yells our boys rallied around the dear old flag three times. Once They were taken but as the fellow a Lieut. grasped it from our wounded color sergeant a ball went through his heart and again they were retaken." He also adds an interesting account of his company's reserve role in the Battle of White Old Swamp. See guide to Roden family papers at the William L. Clements Library. books‎

‎Manuscript Letter Signed by John O. Woods to the Adjutant general of the United States Requesting Official Confirmation of a de facto Promotion to 2nd Lieutenant.‎

‎4 page lettersheet 9 3/4x 8 1 1/2 pages of text with docketing and commentary by several officials on the 4th page. Some soiling and aging to the last page a little toning; otherwise very good or better. The letter from Woods attempts to resolve what must have been a common problem in the Union Army during the Civil War which was the red tape involved in battle field promotions. Woods 'was mustered into the Service of the United Sates as an enlisted man. on the 29th day of July 1861 at Washington City D.C. by Lieut. Jno. Elwood. On the 14 day of Decbr. I was promoted to the 2nd Lieutenancy in said Co. vice Lieutenant Donaldson died May 15th 1862 but did not receive my Commission as such until 5th day pf March 1863 since which time I have actually performing the duty of 2nd Lieut. in said company and as such I have been on the muster and pay rolls for March and April. I would respectfully ask the Order mustering me out as an enlisted man being 2nd Serge. of said Company when I received my commission and ordering my muster in as 2nd Lieut. to date from March 5 1863. I have made efforts to be mustered but without success. " Perhaps even more interesting are the comments by several officials on the forth page trying to cut through the 'red tape'. books‎
