Quarto 780 pages contemporary half morocco chipped spine covers detached - in a black cloth custom clamshell box: offered "as is" with various small faults to the pages; folding photographic plate of the Great Fire at page 758 chipped and mended at folds. <br/><br/>The Standard History of Chicago through the 19thC - and not since superseded in its usefulness. Jewell A18. Andreas' work is fundamental to the study of Chicago Howes A243. "The great mine of Chicago history . undoubtedly the three volumes were the biggest and most important project ever undertaken and completed by Chicago printers to that time -Paul Angle." Andreas assembled this unparallelled reference work by employing platoons of researchers. In addition to the historical accounts there are 2236 complete biographies within. " THE HISTORY OF CHICAGO is still recognized as the best historical record of Chicago in the nineteenth century -Walter W. Ristow." This volume covers the years 1857 - 1871 so it includes Chicago in the Civil War and ends with the aftermath of the Great Fire of October 1871. This copy lacks the lithographed frontispiece plate; but it has the McVicker plate frequently lacking along with a color map 15 mostly steel plate portrait engravings and the fold-out photo plate of the Great Chicago Fire. Also abundantly illustrated with woodcuts maps and facsimile autographs of notable Chicagoans. CHICAGO BY THE BOOK 101 Publications That Shaped The City and Its Image 11 . A. T. Andreas hardcover

POWELL, George May (1835-1905)
Autograph Letter Signed
This noted U.S. Treasury Department statistician was an entrepreneur who created a composite photograph of signers of the amendment abolishing slavery that proved quite popular; he was also an inventor archaeologist social reformer philanthropist and evangelist who created cartographic maps of Egypt and North Africa for the Oriental Topographical Corps. ALS 1p 8½" X 10 3/4" n.p. n.y. August 29. Addressed to Giles F. Ward in New York City -- possibly father of Giles F. Ward Jr. 1845-65 a lieutenant with the 12th New York Cavalry who was accidentally killed by a colleague while in North Carolina. Very good. Penned on ultra-thin onion-skin paper with occasional burn-through from heavily-inked letters. Reads in part: "I write this. to request that you will favor me with your own opinion freely expressed as to what the price of the Lincoln Cot should be the patent either on a joint stock operation or on sale in the other way you spoke of a simple sale of the right Please let me know what in your judgment it should be even though it be less than 1/10 the proposed figures" Boldly penned in rich brown ink. Powell and two others one of whose last name was Lincoln designed this specialized portable cot in 1862 and sought to interest the U.S. Army in providing it to the troops. A fascinating piece. unknown

TEILLARD, Dorothy Lamon (c 1859-?)
Photograph Signed
The daughter of one of Abraham Lincoln's law partners and his presidential bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon 1828-93 she pieced together and edited her father's book "Recollections of Abraham Lincoln 1847-1865" Chicago 1895; a bawdy and not particularly popular companion to the president Lamon authored it was actually ghostwritten an 1872 "Life of Abraham Lincoln" that's considered the first debunking biography of the president. PS 8½" X 11" n.p. 1945 November 4. Very good. Small glue stain at upper right well away from image. This most unusual PS does not depict Teillard herself but rather is a thermofax copy of a 3½" X 3½" portrait of a young Ward Hill Lamon centered and with large margins. Early head-and-shoulders portrait showing a youthful Lamon with long curly hair and flowing goatee. On the ample lower margin his daughter inscribes it big and bold: "With regards of / Dorothy Lamon Teillard / November 4 1945." Though written while well into her 80s Teillard's script is fluid and attractive. A quite uncommon autograph in an unusual form. unknown

MOREFIELD, Thomas W (1850-?)
Autograph Letter Signed
Supposedly the youngest soldier to enlist in the Civil War; others such as Johnny Clem born 1851 the "Union Drummer Boy of Chickamauga" were indeed younger although Clem did not carry a weapon until later was not officially mustered in and his wages were paid out of donations by the officers. Morefield's credentials therefore appear sound. ALS 1p 8" X 10" Elkhorn WI 1892 March 10. Addressed to W.E. Ambler. Near fine. Slight mailing folds. To a journalist or scholar researching Morefield's claim to fame Morefield transmits a photograph "Coppied from a tin tipe that I had taken soon after I Enlisted" not present. He agrees to "write up my Army Experience I dont know jest what you want do you want to know whare the Regiments went and What we went through I will say this much to you if it hendent of been for the Exposure of Camp life and picket duty and Rheumatism and diseases resulting from Rheumatism that I contracted while In the Army my Experience would been a good one."

Mild bit of soiling; minor mounting trace on blank 4th leaf. On ornate "Executive Chamber" letterhead Lee replies to a cryptic request. In part: "Your favor to the Governor is received.
