[CIVIL WAR]
Hand-Made Union Patriotic and Religious Song Book
1864. No binding. Condition: Fine. Manuscript Pen and Ink Folk Art Song Book ca. 1864. 24 pp. 6 5/8 x 8 in. This hand-sewn booklet contains eight songs popular during the Civil War era with music and lyrics in calligraphy. Songs include "On a Green Grassy Noll" by J. D. Canning with music by Ira Odell; "The Old Mountain Tree" by James G. Clark; "Harmonian Waltz"; "Year of Jubilee or Kingdom has Come!"; "Squire Jones's Daughter"; "The Sweet Birds Are Singing"; "Lament of the Irish Emigrant"; and "Soon and For Ever" by J. B. Monsell. The last page of the booklet is dated February 21 1864. Partial Transcript: Year of Jubilee or Kingdom has Come! I come up Norf on a little bender Left Missus at home wid no one to tend her Ole Massa's gone I dun-no what to; Sambo pretty sure he don't much care to. Chorus: Den sound de horn beat de drum Sound de horn and beat de drum De year ob jubilee am come Sound de horn and beat de drum De year ob jubilee am come. Met genral Bloaregard on my way here He told me dat I had better stay dere He said up Norf dey would skin and eat me Dat was a yarn dat a little heat me. He said he had just whipp'd Gen-ral Bu-el Grant and Wallace All three in a duel. I axed him den why he was running away Sam-bo says he dat question aint fair play. Oh times down Soth am getting quite rotten He's so berry scarce they have to burn cotton I left dat land ob oppression and gas And roam de free Norf without nary pass. Molasses Junction was a big scarecrow Nigh its wooden guns nobody didn't dare go; But when McClellan got a good ready De Southern Gentry seemed quite unsteady. Abraham Lincoln and Emancipation De two tallest tings in dis tall nation; Hurrah den boys let us still be merry Kingdom has come boys we've good times berry. Historical Background: Music played a prominent role in the American Civil War. On the battlefield and in the camps it boosted morale and released tensions. On the homefront it helped individuals and families express political sentiments grief and longing. Music entertained and often carried political religious and social messages. "The Year of Jubilee or Kingdom has Come!" was written by "Sambo" and first published in 1862 by H. M. Higgins in Chicago. "Squire Jones's Daughter" tells of the virtues of "The prettiest girl in the State of Maine" and was copyrighted by New York publisher Henry De Marsan in 1860. "The Sweet Birds Are Singing" is a cheerful pastoral duet about springtime that dates to at least 1836. "On a Green Grassy Noll" by J. D. Canning was first published in Boston in 1852 and is an elegy for a nameless old farmer who has "ploughed his last furrow." "The Old Mountain Tree" is a ballad in the form of a quartet by James G. Clark first published in 1854. It expresses longing for an old homestead. Clark 1829-1897 enlisted in the 35th New York as a 1st lieutenant and was detailed to remain in the recruiting service. He used music in his efforts to enlist soldiers in the cause and was dubbed "The People's Poet." "Lament of the Irish Emigrant" is a ballad by Helen Blackwood 1807-1867 with music by William R. Dempster 1808-1871 first published in Boston around 1840. It tells the story of an Irish emigrant who has buried his wife Mary and their child. Blackwood Baronness Dufferin and Claneboye was a British songwriter composer poet and author. Dempster a Scottish singer was very popular in the United States. "Soon and For Ever" is a sentimental hymn by J. B. Monsell about the Christian's union with Christ in Heaven. Rev. James Samuel Bewley Monsell 1811-1875 was an Irish Anglican clergyman and poet. He wrote the poem in 1853 or earlier.Condition: Very minor soiling else near fine.<br />

[CIVIL WAR] - READ, Joseph Corson
Southern Mississippi and Alabama Showing the Approaches to Mobile
Washington: Coastal Survey Office 1863. Folding map 24 x 25 1/2 inches mounted in twenty-four sections on linen. Original card covers with printed paper label. Contemporary ownership inscription on label. Light wear. Minor foxing. Rare field operations map of Mississippi.<br/> <br/> This rare Civil War map was created by the Coast Survey office the main cartographic arm of the Union Army for use in the Union campaigns into the South. This copy was owned and used by Colonel Joseph Corson Read the Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland. In November 1863 the Union armies captured Chattanooga the "Gateway to the South" enabling them to stage a prolonged offensive into the Southern heartland. Grant moved very quickly to overwhelm the South and immediately ordered Sherman to move against Atlanta and its vital railroad supply lines at the same time as he sent Nathaniel Banks to attack Mobile Alabama. Joseph Corson Read 1831-1889 was one of the first wave of men to take up Abraham Lincoln's call for volunteers to put down the rebellion in April 1861. He remained continuously in the army serving first on General Jesse Reno's staff and rising to the rank of Chief Commissary for the Army of the Cumberland commanded by George H. Thomas. Thomas was impressed with Read and on May 1 1864 with the spring campaign against Atlanta imminent Thomas named Read Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland in the Field. This meant that although Colonel A.P. Porter was the Army's overall chief Read would serve alongside Thomas in the field and had the responsibility to supply the entire army as it moved South. During the long and arduous Atlanta campaign he was the man on the ground making the supply side work. Read developed a close relationship with Thomas one with both personal and professional aspects. This map scaled at ten miles to the inch shows Mississippi and Alabama from Jackson to Montgomery starting about fifty miles north of those two points and continuing south to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Rivers roads and rail lines and all the towns they connect are detailed with waterways printed in blue. Two of the railroads the Mobile & Pensacola and the Mobile & Great Northern construction and removal dates during the war. An important map that would have been used by the Union Army in the field specifically by the Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland.<br/> <br/> Library of Congress Civil War Maps 260.1; Library of Congress Railroad Maps 140.

[World War II – Japan – Industrial History] Unknown Photographer
Press Photos of “The Paralyzed Industries of Japan†after the US and UK Froze Its Assets 1941
Japan: Brown Brothers 1941. Five photographs. Photos measuring 6 ½ x 8 ½ inches. With typed captions previously affixed typed captions verso or manuscript captions verso; with Brown Brothers stamps verso. Fine contrast and slight marginal damage; overall excellent to Near Fine. Following the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War the United States imposed a number of economic sanctions against Japan including the 1939 termination of its trade treaty with the country 1940 oil export embargo and 1941 executive order freezing Japanese assets in the US. Great Britain followed suit shortly thereafter. Offered here is a collection of press photographs documenting the effects of the US and UK’s economic sanctions on Japanese industry. One caption explains:<br /> <br /> “The industries of Japan veritable bee hives until the trade treaty abrogatio by the United States followed by the freezing of funds belonging to the Niponese Government resulting in the dripping of exports from Japan from $18000000 to $500 in the past year has brought about the condition seen in this series of photos.â€<br /> <br /> The factories pictured include a locomotive plant textile mill match factory and crockery exporter. The sanctions had a devastating impact on Japan’s economy which is partly blamed for their attack on Pearl Harbor. Brown Brothers unknown

Russo Japanese War Imperial Japan Uyeda Kyoske
Two Postcards from a Soldier in Imperial Japan near the End of the Russo-Japanese War
Tokyo Japan 1905. Two postcards measuring 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches. Near Fine. Two postcards from Kyoske Uyeda in Japan to his friend Bessie Mulkey in San Francisco dated May and July 1905. At the time the Russo-Japanese War fought over the Russian and Japanese Empires’ imperial ambitions for Manchuria and Korea was nearing its end. Uyeda had been on the front; in his earlier postcard he writes:<br /> <br /> “May 5th 1905 I left the front at the end of March after the great victory around Mukden and have been back to Tokyo for sometime. I congratulate myself that I was fortunate enough to come back to the country at this glorious season of all sorts of beautiful flowers. The people too are enjoying the seasons as if there is no such terrible thing as war. They are having picnics every day. I will leave the country for the front within a short time. Kyo.â€<br /> <br /> Mukden—present-day Shenyang Liaoning province—was the site of the war’s final land battle fought from February to March 1905 and resulting in a decisive victory for Imperial Japan. In his second postcard Uyeda is set to depart for another significant location in the war:<br /> <br /> “I will leave here for Port Arthur to-morrow and having stayed there a day or two and coming back here am probably to go to our Headquarters at Mukhden to attend to the annual celebration of the day in which our Manchurian Expedition Army organised that is on the 6th of July 04. I expect a grand time there Marshal Oyama Gen. Baron Kodama Gen. Kuroki and many other grand chieftains will assemble at the Capital of Manchuria.â€<br /> <br /> Port Arthur now Lüshunkou District in Liaoning province China was seized by the Japanese in 1894 during the First Sino-Japanese War; returned to China in 1895; and then leased in an unequal treaty by the Russian Empire in 1898. Japan’s surprise attack against the Russian fleet at Port Arthur launched the war in February 1904 and resulted in Japan retaking the port.<br /> <br /> Uyeda’s notes are written on interesting themed postcards depicting the Imperial Japanese Navy; one reads “Our Combined Squadron steaming towards the enemy†and the other “Our torpedoboat squadron returning to a naval base after fighting with the enemy.†How Uyeda and Mulkey would have met and begun a correspondence is unclear. unknown

[South Carolina] [Civil War] Sears, Jos. H.
The New South. Vol. 2. No. 32. Port Royal S.C. Saturday April 16 1864. Whole No. 84
Port Royal S.C.: Jos. H. Sears 1864. First edition. Self wrappers. About very good copy loss of a few words at a small hole caused by an abrasion wax seal owners name and small tear on top margin. 4 pp. Folio. 13 x 9 1/2 inches. Articles on the New Banking System; Fort Pulaski; Lists of Prisoners; Affairs in Florida; Excitement about Torpedoes; advertisements.<br /> <br /> As Chronicling America Library of Congress & University of South Carolina note:<br /> "The Port Royal New South 1862-67 holds the distinction of being one of the first occupation newspapers published in the Confederacy during the Civil War. Unlike many of its successors however the New South not only outlasted the war but served as a witness to the political and social changes transforming Beaufort County South Carolina in its aftermath.<br /> <br /> Union Army postmaster Joseph Henry Sears launched the New South on March 15 1862. Recognizing the historical importance of his endeavor he remarked “Not often has a newspaper occupied so singular a position as that filled to-day … Issued in a military command addressed mostly to soldiers at the seat of war its audience is yet not purely military.†Within two weeks’ time Sears was forced to suspend publication as a concession to the supply needs of Union Army troops under the command of General David Hunter. The New South returned on August 23 1862 and it remained a reliable news source for the duration of the war. Newspapers as far-flung as the Daily Evansville Indiana Journal Daily Green Mountain Freeman Montpelier Vermont and Brownville Nebraska Advertiser picked up and carried its reports on the whereabouts of military companies and ships. By September 1863 circulation rates for the New South approached 10000 copies.<br /> <br /> Several of the men who worked for the New South went on to distinguished careers. In addition to serving as editor Union Army General Adam Badeau also served on General William T. Sherman’s staff. He later published a number of historical works including Military History of Ulysses S. Grant 1881 and Grant in Peace 1887. Badeau’s successor Henry Jacob Winser went on to serve as United States Consul General at the Court of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha 1869-81 chief of the information bureau of the Northern Pacific Railway Company assistant editor for the New-York Commercial Advertiser and managing editor for the Newark New Jersey Daily Advertiser.<br /> <br /> The details on the final days of the New South are scarce and contradictory due to gaps in the newspaper record. The newspaper apparently changed hands sometime in 1865 the same year it was moved from Port Royal to Beaufort. As late as August 1866 the Charleston South Carolina Daily News named Joseph Sears as an agent for the New South but the few surviving issues from that period only identify Lewis Thompson the former publisher for the Anti-Slavery Society of Philadelphia as proprietor. Contemporary scholarly sources have since surmised that the New South ceased in 1866 but an account of a destructive fire in Beaufort appearing in the Columbia South Carolina Daily Phoenix on March 9 1867 indicates the New South was still a viable concern. The latest issue known to exist is dated September 29 1866." Jos. H. Sears unknown
