Andrews fought in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm September 29-30 1864. Just two months earlier he was so sick that he was excused from duty but he volunteered for service and helped lead the 36th Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops to victory. The performance of the USCT at Chaffin's Farm New Market Heights put an end to any doubts of their bravery or fitness for service. There Andrews was shot in the leg and for his bravery he was promoted to Captain.The 36th Regiment of USCT was organized in February 1864 out of the 2nd North Carolina Colored Infantry. In addition to Chaffin's Farm it saw service toward the end of the Siege of Petersburg the single greatest concentration of African American troops during the war at Richmond and its occupation and in the Appomattox Campaign.The United States Colored Troops USCT were regiments of the United States Army during the American Civil War composed of African American soldiers. First recruited in 1863 by the end of the Civil War the men of the 175 regiments of the USCT constituted approximately 10% of the Union Army. The United States War Department issued General Order Number 143 on May 22 1863 establishing a ""Bureau of Colored Troops"" to facilitate the recruitment of African-American soldiers to fight for the Union Army. Regiments including infantry cavalry engineers light artillery and heavy artillery units were recruited from all states of the Union and became known as the United States Colored Troops USCT. USCT regiments were led by white officers and rank advancement was limited for black soldiers. Approximately 175 regiments composed of more than 178000 free blacks and freedmen served during the last two years of the war. Their service bolstered the Union war effort at a critical time.

After the speech men often went to a tavern to drink thirteen toasts for the number of the original states while the women and children went home. Bonfires and fire-crackers carried the festivities into the evening. Typically a speech blended a sermon with a political address promoting patriotism. Readings of and orations on the Declaration of Independence or Washington's Farewell Address were also common.</p><p>Early during the Civil War celebrations often included sham battles to portray the real ones occurring on the battlefields. By the middle of the war fundraisers for widows and orphans of soldiers who had died in military service replaced the sham battles. After the war celebrations turned away from the community toward smaller gatherings of families and friends though many smaller communities continued the pre-war tradition.</p><p>The city of Elgin Illinois was established as a village in 1835 on the Fox River thirty-five miles northwest of Chicago. Chartered as a city in 1854 Elgin in 1865 had a population of 4000-5000 people. Four days after Yates delivered this address the city's first major fire swept the entire north side of Chicago Street in the business district.</p><p>Thousands of people from Elgin and the surrounding area celebrated the Fourth of July in 1865 with an artillery salute at dawn a "huge procession" at 10:30 a.m. of "returned soldiers civilians societies and other citizens" who marched from the Waverly House to Colby's Grove. The singing of "America" opened the exercises followed by a prayer by a local minister and a choir concert. Col. Edward S. Joslyn an Elgin attorney who served in the 36th Illinois Volunteer Infantry read the Declaration of Independence. State Adjutant General Allen C. Fuller delivered an address welcoming the returned soldiers then the choir sang "Battle Cry of Freedom." Gen. J. F. Farnsworth responded to Fuller on behalf of the soldiers followed by another choir performance. Former Governor and current Senator Yates followed with his oration and the singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" concluded the formal program. A dinner for the soldiers who were present and a general picnic followed. The city concluded the day's festivities with a ball at the Waverly House.</p><p>The <i>Daily Illinois State Journal</i> proclaimed Yates' speech at Elgin "not only the best effort of his life but one of the most forcible and eloquent among the many able and patriotic addresses which our recent National Anniversary occurring at a juncture in our history of so much interest has called forth."</p><p><b>Richard Yates</b> 1815-1873 was born in Kentucky and graduated from Illinois College in Jacksonville in 1835. He studied law in Jacksonville and at Transylvania University in Lexington Kentucky. Yates began practicing law in Jacksonville in 1837 and served as a Whig in the Illinois House of Representatives from 1842 to 1846 and from 1848 to 1850. He represented Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1851 to 1855. He joined the Republican Party and supported John C. Fremont for president in 1856 and Abraham Lincoln for U.S. senator in 1858. In 1860 he was elected governor as a Republican and strongly supported the Lincoln administration's conduct of the war. When the Democratic state legislature proved uncooperative Yates dissolved the legislature on June 10 1863 and governed the state on his own. At the end of his term in 1865 Yates won election to the U.S. Senate where he served from 1865 to 1871. He supported radical reconstruction and the conviction of President Andrew Johnson.</p> Ironmonger and Mendenhall books‎

‎CIVIL WAR : VERSE BROADSIDE‎

‎Battle of Cedar Creek. By Horace Maynard Co. E 28th Iowa Volunteers. Tune "Star-Spangled Banner." Caption title‎

‎New York: J. Dickson Printer 1864. Broadside in 4to.  310 x 235 mm. 12 x 9 ¼ inches.  Caption and ten stanzas of verse in two columns within an ornamental border.  Sheet somewhat dust-soiled with a few minor stains surface wear along folds one corner slightly chipped &c. Still entirely sound and with good margins. The Battle of Cedar Creek was fought in the Shenandoah Valley on October 19 1864. Surprised by the Confederate forces under the command of Jubal Early the Union troops were nearly routed. Riding to the battlefield from Winchester twenty miles away Gen. Philip Sheridan rallied the troops and carried the day. This action occasioned the slightly more famous poem by Thomas Buchanan Read. Private Maynard's poem centers more narrowly on the actions of the 28th Iowa. The regiment was organized in 1862 and mustered out in 1865 having fought campaigns in Mississippi Louisiana and Virginia losing 271 men in the process.  "At dawn October 19 1864 the Confederate Army of the Valley under Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early surprised the Federal army at Cedar Creek and routed the VIII and XIX Army Corps. Commander Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan arrived from Winchester to rally his troops and in the afternoon launched a crushing counterattack which recovered the battlefield. Sheridan's victory at Cedar Creek broke the back of the Confederate army in the Shenandoah Valley. Lincoln rode the momentum of Sheridan's victories in the Valley and Sherman's successes in Georgia to re-election." Horace Maynard born ca. 1821 in Ohio is listed in the 1860 Federal census as a school teacher in Penn Iowa residing there with his wife and three small children.  American Battlefield Trust Website.

‎Civil War Covers‎

‎SUBSTANTIAL COLLECTION OF 119 UNUSED CIVIL WAR-ERA PATRIOTIC POSTAL COVERS ALL BUT ONE OF THEM ILLUSTRATED ALMOST ALL WITH ORIGINAL PRINTED OR HAND-COLORING‎

‎Various locations including Philadelphia New York Salem Cincinnati Baltimore and others 1865. 119 unused postal covers all but one of them illustrated almost all printed in color or hand-colored. Generally minimal wear. Ranging from very good to near fine condition. An interesting and substantial grouping of Civil War-era patriotic covers encompassing a wide variety of themes devoted to the Union cause. A great number of Union officers are celebrated here among them are eight examples depicting General McClellan three of Gen. Fremont and a pair featuring Gen. Rosecrans the "Hero of the West." There are also numerous regimental leaders including Edward Dickinson Baker Commodore Silas H. Stringham Lt. John T Greble Gen. Wool printed with a map of the seat of war in Missouri Col. E.D. Baker Col. H.E. Paine of the Wisconsin Volunteers Col. Max Friedman of the Cameron Dragoons and many others. There are also pictorial covers of Gen. Sherman's Headquarters at Hilton Head; a pair depicting Fort Sumter; four depicting Camp Dennison near Cincinnati; one of the Battle Monument in Baltimore; and one featuring Benton Barracks in St. Louis. Three examples are practically bird's-eye views of Baltimore one a general view another from the perspective of Federal Hill and the third from Fort McHenry. <br> <br> A common visual theme is the use of symbolic iconography of the United States. Numerous examples depict women standing proudly with the American flag and are evocative of Columbia the personification of the United States. One depicts a woman serving with the "Home Guard" and decked out in a dress resembling the flag. Another example shows a "Daughter of the Regiment." Yet another is titled "The Ladies' Envelope" and features Columbia with an American flag-style shield. There are also a plethora of examples featuring the flag itself. One example prints a "History of Our Flag" beginning with its endorsement by Congress on June 14 1777. One prints the flag next to a warning reading "If Any One Attempts to Haul Down the American Flag Shoot Him on the Spot." <br> <br> The American Eagle features prominently here as well. In one example the great bird is tearing apart a Rebel flag with his beak. In another the eagle holds a banner in his mouth reading "Beware" while confronted with a disjointed hand labeled "Jeff. Davis" holding eight snakes labeled with the names of the Confederate states an interesting twist on the famous severed snake image featured in the Revolutionary-era "join or die" illustration. <br> <br> Also a handful of the covers display the type of twisted gallows humor sometimes literally to be expected from patriotic covers. One of these shows Jefferson Davis hanging from a tree; the text around his lifeless body reads "Southern Eagle Jeff. Davis in Suspense Long May He Wave." A similar example shows Davis hanging from a gallows; the caption reads "Jeff. Davis 'President' of Traitors Robbers and Pirates; the Nero of the 19th century. On the Last 'Platform' of the Southern Confeder- ass-y." Yet another cover not gallows humor but featuring Jefferson Davis depicts him as a fox holding two geese one labeled Tennessee and the other Virginia above a caption reading "Jeff. Davis on a Scouting Expedition." <br> <br> A particularly-colorful example depicts a proud Union soldier defending Washington D.C. The soldier holds fast to an American flag as a cannon fires beneath his feet with the Capitol building in the background. Other examples celebrate the New York State Volunteer Militia the Pennsylvania Volunteers the Quartermaster Department of the Anderson Zouaves the Monitor the naval battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack Sherman's Flying Artillery the text of the Army Hymn "Jeff. Davis' Doom" various political cartoon-style illustrations and many more. <br> <br> A significant collection of one of the more ephemeral and visually significant artifacts of life in the North during the Civil War. unknown books‎

‎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
