COLLIS, Charles HT H T
Case of F.F. Cavada
Philadelphia: King & Baird 1866. Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff tan wrappers. 14pp. Very good. Bit of soiling to outer wrappers else tight and nice. Collis a colonel with the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry published this collection of documents regarding the character of one Frederick Fernandez Cavada 1832-71 to protest Cavada's appointment as United States Consul at Trinidad de Cuba. Cavada was cashiered for "behaving himself in a cowardly manner in the presence of the enemy by absenting himself from the battle-field" at Fredericksburg but was reinstated. Cavada displayed similar cowardice at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg but resigned before he could be tried. Whether the publication of Collis's pamphlet affected Cavada's Consul appointment we have not been able to determine. Most unusual. First edition. DORNBUSCH I P 275A. SABIN 14457.

(BRIG GENERAL ARMSTRONG -- WAR OF 1812)
Brig General Armstrong 1817-1882
Hardcover. On September 26 1814 the American privateer "General Armstrong" named after Continental Congressman John Armstrong Jr. a U.S. Army general under the command of Captain Samuel C. Reid was docked at the Portuguese port of Fayal in the Azores when three British warships on their way to the Caribbean to join a flotilla for the Battle of New Orleans decided to violate international laws of neutrality and instead attack. Under the command of Robert Lloyd the British ships finally succeeded in scuttling the American brig though they suffered 65 killed and 117 wounded in the process while the Americans lost only two; the American crew escaped to land. The incident was an enormous tactical error that swung the War of 1812 in the direction of the Americans for it gave General Andrew Jackson time to reach New Orleans and prepare for the battle. It was also a public relations disaster for the British becoming a sensation in popular songs poems books and colorful prints. Collection of six pamphlets bound chronologically. Small 4to. Hand-lettered vellum spine and green paper over boards. 3pp; 24pp; 150pp; 28pp; 5pp; 25pp. Very good. Mild age toning and faint soiling to binding; first couple pamphlets rather age toned with bit of dampstaining but remainder clean handsome and tight. Pamphlets in order consist of: 1 Frederick Jenkins and Rensselaer Havens "In Senate of the United States. January 23 1817." N.p.: N.p. 1817. 2 "Memorial of Sam. C. Reid Jr. In behalf of the claimants of the brig General Armstrong praying indemnity." Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1854. 33d Congress 1st Session Mis. Doc. No. 14. 3 "In the Senate of the United States. The Court of Claims submitted the following Report. Claimants Brig General Armstrong vs. The United States." Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1858. 35th Congress 1st Session Mis. Doc. No. 142. 4 "Owners of Brig General Armstrong. Memorial of Sam. C. Reid in Behalf of the captains owners officers and crew of the late United States private armed brig General Armstrong their heirs executors administrators or assigns." Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1879. 46th Congress 1st Session Mis. Doc. No. 16. 5 "Brig General Armstrong. Report. for the relief of the captain owners officers and crew of the United States private-armed brig General Armstrong." Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1880. 46th Congress 2d Session Report No. 1014. 6 "In the Senate of the United States. Report. for the relief of the captain owners officers and crew of the late United States private-armed brig General Armstrong their heirs executors administrators agents or assigns report the said bill with an amendment and recommend its passage." Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1881. 47th Congress 1st Session Report No. 270. An interesting and unusual assemblage spanning 65 years obviously gathered by someone intensely interested in the outcome of the financial claims made afterward -- makes you wonder if it belonged to one of the "heirs executors administrators or assigns" often referred to! hardcover

Petersburg Virginia: McClure Printing Company 1947. xii 462 pages. 8vo. Illustrated by two black and white photographic portraits of Kidd and numerous portraits of others. First edition. Nevins I p. 146. Dornbusch II 27. The book is SIGNED without inscription on the title page by the author. A remarkably detailed biography and genealogy of a little-known Confederate soldier from Selma Alabama. Reuben Vaughan Kidd 1839-1863 joined Company A of the 4th Alabama Infantry as a 2nd Sergeant on April 26 1861. He saw military action at South Mountain and Sharpsburg was later elected lieutenant and captain by soldiers in his company led his company in battle at Gettysburg and was killed in action at Chickamauga on September 19 1863.

[Civil War] Pryor, Elizabeth Brown
Reading the Man. A Portrait of Robert E. Lee through his Private Letters.
<p>New York:: Viking Press 2007. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. To most Robert E. Lee is a beloved tragic figure of a bygone war remembered by history as stoic and brave but without a true emotional life. Recently however historian Elizabeth Brown Pryor uncovered important documents that provide a stunning personal account of Lee's military ability his beliefs and his time. Using dozens of previously unpublished letters as departure points Pryor sheds new light on every aspect of this complex and contradictory general and questions our own understanding of loyalty and patriotism. This tantalizing glimpse of a legendary hero's guarded soul will appeal not only to Civil War buffs but anyone interested in this nation's history.</p> Viking Press, hardcover
