Civil War Broadsheet. Budding Calvin S.
The SCOUT'S STORY." By Calvin S. Budding Late Adjutant of the 45th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers
n. p.: Blanche Budding Flora 1900. 1st printing presumed. Buff printed paper. Modest wear to broadside age-toning some light soiling and edgewear. Withal a VG example. Broadside printed recto only. 14-5/8" x 5-1/4" <br/><br/>A relative of the Buddings said this was handed out at Reunion Meetings and is apparently a true story. Union troops on scout are asked by a Tennessee Confederate farmer to help him extricate a stuck wagon and promises them some Apple Jack in return. Unfortunately for the Union troops the story is a ruse and the "Yanks" are captured by 20 Confederates. While marching one member of the 45th chews on soap foams at the mouth and plays dead. They march on only to get freed by 50 Union troops. The original group goes back to the farmer to get the Apple Jack and tie up the farmer and take all of his provisions. <br /> <br />"The Johnnies took a look at him and then one sed/ That thar Mr Yankee is clean gone dead/ The Captain he examined him sed to one of his men/ He's the ugliest corpse I seed in my life/ and we can't stop long to tend/ to any kind of a burying for he's drawed up like a toad/ Gist roll him in the bushes on the lower side of the road. I kind of smiled to myself but did'nt say nothing but thunk/ I looked at Jim and he looked at me and gave his one eye a wunk." <br /> <br />Only 1 institutional holding located on OCLC Yale.

Civil War Clifton J. Leonard 1841 1924
COMMENTING ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF "aristocrats" and poor folks in New Bern North Carolina along with some general comments about the land and agriculture in the area in an autograph letter signed June 7 1862 to his father in Allentown Pennsylvania
Newbern sic NC 1862. 8vo. Five pages approximately 400 words in part: "The Aristocrat walks very erect very seldom converses upon any subject and as a general thing turns up his nose in defiance of a Federal Soldier but keeps docile thinking no doubt discretion the better part of valor. They dress in varieties of homespun and create a fantastic appearance they live in poorly erected buildings that have neither witnessed lime nor paint for a century but as a general thing splendidly furnished . they are a valorous people but deficient in pride. The poorer class display remarkable qualities of lamentable ignorance they are eager to converse and are poorly educated . this class is principally engaged in fishing they not having gifted sense enough to learn a trade. The land here is in my opinion completely wore out it is poorly manured . there is no lime put on it as that is a scarce article . there are no cellars to their houses . the buildings are generally raised a few feet from the ground by placing a few bricks under each corner. Crops raised here are of the poorest sort cotton in particular." Clifton born in Allentown Pennsylvania served as an enlisted soldier in the 51st Pennsylvania Volunteers participating in the capture of New Bern in March 1862 and other unit campaigns as a part of the Army of the Potomac in Virginia; he died in Easton Pennsylvania. Ink faded in a few places but the text is quite legible and provides an interesting description of New Bern and its inhabitants from the perspective of an enlisted garrisoned Union soldier. Folded as for mailing. 10795. <br/><br/> unknown books

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

Civil War New York
AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT HISTORY OF COMPANY F 1ST NEW YORK INFANTRY SIGNED BY COMPANY COMMANDER 2ND LIEUTENANT JOHN S. BRUSH
Virginia 1864. Folio 8" x 12". Three loose leaves making 6 pp completely in ink manuscript. Occasional short separations at folds light age toning and soiling some edge wear with slight loss of text. Overall Good. <br/><br/> The 1st New York Infantry Regiment was mustered for two years of service in April 1861. After serving at Big Bethel Fair Oaks Malvern Hill Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville they were duly mustered out in May 1863. This history by 2nd Lieutenant John S. Brush details the organization of the company and its movements. The Company arrived at Big Bethel on the morning of June 10th 1861 formed a line of battle remained under the enemy's fire for nearly two hours before being ordered to retreat. They moved on to Newport News where the Rebel Iron Clad Merrimac shelled the garrison for two hours before retiring; no casualties were reported. Onward to join the Army of the Potomac and to the White House plantation on the Pamunkey River on June 4 1862. Then to Savage Station then joining the battle at Peach Orchard where Privates Carlisle Ferris Patrick Culhane & Edward Corcoran were killed and Privates William Rodgers Frank Cox & Thos. Hillman were wounded. Later at Glendale "Captain John H. Carter was dangerously wounded while gallantly rallying his men to the contest" and was taken prisoner while Sergeant Joseph E. Fallon "seeing the colors falling into the hands of the rebels rushed forward under a heavy fire from the enemy and secured two of them." Other battles and casualties are mentioned followed by a list of soldiers who were killed transferred discharged deserted etc. With a Recapitulation signed and dated by John S. Brush at Potomac Creek Virginia 4 April 1863.<br/> John S. Brush born c. 1840 was mustered into the New York Infantry in 1861 a 1st Corporal and was mustered out a 2d Lieutenant. Brush had an interesting life following the war. 1880 Federal census records list him as a resident of Sing Sing Prison. Unfortunately this Civil War veteran went into the forgery business. By 1903 he had spent more than 20 years in Illinois and New York State prisons because of his "expertness in 'free hand' imitation of signatures and handwriting" versus the more common tracing method making him "one of the most dangerous professional forgers operating in this country." He was so good that those he had imitated at times would identify his forgeries as their own signatures. In 1903 Brush pleaded guilty yet again to forgery and was sentenced to another five years imprisonment at Dannemora prison. By the 1910 U.S. Federal Census he was living at the National Soldiers' Home in Tennessee.
