Each charge is elaborated in great detail. Starkey was found guilty of most of the charges and sentenced "To be cashiered and to be forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit under the Government of the United States" -- this latter sentence commuted by President Lincoln who always believed in giving someone a second chance. Signed in type at the conclusion by Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown

(GENERAL ORDERS -- CIVIL WAR). TOWNSEND, ED E D
General Orders No. 211
Washington DC: War Department 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn with two file holes at left not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34" being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey 1825-67 was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event. unknown

The acceptance of McClellan's resignation without comment or praise over a job well done speaks volumes about the much-disliked commander's lackluster performance. unknown

General Orders No. 295
Washington DC: War Department 1864. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text. Titled "Exchange of Prisoners of War" this General Order consists of Townsend's report of a prisoner exchange arranged between Generals William T. Sherman and John Bell Hood that took place in Rough and Ready Georgia on September 19 22 28 and 30 1864. "United States prisoners received -- 146 commissioned officers. 212 non-commissioned officers. 770 privates. In all equivalent to 2047 privates. Confederate prisoners received -- 128 commissioned officers. 225 non-commissioned officers. 979 privates. In all equivalent to 2045 privates." How these numbers add up to 2047 and 2045 privates is beyond us -- must be the Old Math. Accompanied by a fine modern circa 1960 glossy 8" X 10" photograph a superbly done reprint of the well-known head-and-shoulders portrait of John Bell Hood in Confederate uniform. Verso bears red inkstamped "From the / Abraham Lincoln Book Shop / Collection." A superb pair. War Department unknown

[WORLD WAR II INDONESIAN EPHEMERA].
Dari Negeri Serikat. Perkabaran Boelan. From the Allies. Monthly News.
November1944. Four page brochure single sheet with vertical fold double page map of Southeast Asia with areas of Allied control highlighted in red. Occasional light soiling centre horizontal fold very good copy of a scarce item of WWII ephemera. 23 x 16cm. World War II propaganda leaflet in Indonesian purportedly from the Allied powers most likely distributed within the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies. <br> <br>Covers news of Allied victories within the Pacific and European theatres of war with particular emphasis given to the failures of Japanese and German forces. Japanese forces in the Philippines are said to be starved of supplies thanks to the efforts of the US Navy while German forces in the Netherlands and West Germany are also said to be experiencing a collapse in morale and becoming increasingly reliant on the drafting of unarmed civilians. <br> <br>For balance the very few Japanese victories in Guangxi are mentioned but are dismissed as being of little actual strategic value. The intensified bombing campaigns of the US Air Force are noted as a deciding factor in wearing down the Axis powers' capacity for continuing the war. Successful bombing runs of Tokyo Singapore Shanghai Nanjing Balikpapan Makassar and Borneo are highlighted. . unknown

Washington DC: Adjutant General's Office War Department 1864. Handbill. 12mo. Very good. File holes at left margin not affecting text. Bold attractive General Order in which Lincoln's Secretary of State announces that "The President directs that. no traveler shall be allowed to enter the United States from a foreign country without a passport. This regulation is intended to apply especially to persons proposing to come to the United States from the neighboring British provinces." Signed at the conclusion in type by Seward and also by Assistant Adjutant General E.D. Townsend. Likely this directive was issued to help curb any influx of Confederate sympathizers or supporters from the United Kingdom. Accompanied by a nice Civil War-era 5" X 7" heavy stock steel-engraved head-and-shoulders portrait of Seward. Very good. Adjutant General's Office, War Department unknown

[United States Congress Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War]
Report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War on the Attack on Petersburg on the 30th Day of July 1864
Washington DC: Government Printing Office. Fair. 1865. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket as issued heavily worn including exposure of boards at all corners but binding is intact; foxing/discoloration to endpapers and early pages; ex-private library with label of W.H. Edwards Downers Grove Illinois on front pastedown. The official Congressional report on one of the major debacles of the Civil War known historically as the Battle of the Crater. An early engagement in the Union Army's siege of Petersburg Virginia this event involved the detonation of 8000 pounds of gunpowder packed into a mine shaft that had been dug by Union troops underneath a Confederate fortification. The idea was to blow a big hole in the enemy's defensive line through which the troops were to then charge overwhelming the enemy; however things went badly almost from the get-go when the 500-foot fuse fizzled out and some poor schmuck was ordered to crawl into the tunnel and re-light it. The explosion was eventually achieved and a gigantic crater was created and nearly 300 Confederate soldiers instantly killed but almost everything thereafter went wrong and in the end both sides suffered massive casualties about 850 men killed and a couple of thousand wounded and the unsuccessful assault instead of bringing a quick end to the siege as its planners had hoped was merely the precursor to another eight months of brutal trench warfare. General Ulyssses S. Grant called the battle "the saddest affair I have witnessed in this war" and part of the aftermath was the Congressional investigation which resulted in this very report which includes personal testimony and statements from many of those involved as well as numerous supporting documents. The two generals most directly responsible -- Gen. Ambrose Burnside and Gen. George Meade -- both testified at length and others interrogated by the Commitee included Lt. Col. Henry Pleasants the engineer who came up with the exploding-mine scheme in the first place Brig. Gen. Edward Ferrero commander of a division of African-American troops which suffered heavy casualties in the battle and U.S. Grant himself. This copy bears a five-line inscription on the second front endpaper see scanned image accompanying this listing but all I can make anything out of is the third line: "with the compliments of." I doubt that the signature is authorial -- since there was no author per se for this Congressional report -- but it's possible there may be some historical or associational significance to the inscription and/or signature a puzzlement which I will leave to the eventual purchaser to work out. The book's one-time owner W.H. Edwards was a businessman and bank president in Downers Grove Ill. the latter position assumed in 1898 but the inscribee's name does not resemble "Edwards" at all so I assume he was not the book's first owner. .
