‎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.

‎Newtown NJ 1757. 1p. Signed by Henry Simson Joseph Byram John Anderson Thomas Woolverton and Joseph Parry. The French and Indian War on the New Jersey "Front Tears."<br/> <br/>In the wake of Braddock's defeat with tensions with the Delaware Valley Indian tribes rising and with a perceived threat that the tribes of the Delaware Valley would invade into New Jersey at the end of November 1755 Governor Belcher detached hundreds of West New Jersey troops to the New Jersey/Pennsylvania border and into Pennsylvania many under the command of Colonel Abraham van Campen. The present document concerns the death of a resident of Sussex County who evidently travelled with Van Campen and Colonel Jacob Ford to the "front tears" to "parley or hold a treaty with the Indians there" but "hath never returned & by report was near about that time killed."

‎CIVIL WAR Estick or Estwick EVANS 1787 1866‎

‎Great Pacification. To the People of the United States . I propose the restoration of our Union . Peace the hope of it even in the midst of the most strenuous war should not be abandoned .‎

‎Washington D.C. 1865. Letterpress broadside. 24 x 8 1/2 inches. Expert restoration on verso. An unusual broadside Civil War peace proposal.<br/> <br/>A little-known but highly eccentric character Evans first made a name for himself in 1818 when he walked from New Hampshire to Detroit in the middle of winter no less backtracked to Pittsburgh and continued his walk all the way to New Orleans publishing a narrative of his pedestrian journey the following year. After a failed Congressional run in New Hampshire and a failed attempt to become secretary of the Senate he ended up practicing law in Washington. In the midst of the Civil War Evans published a series of broadside letters all known in but few examples and likely printed in small quantities. In one in which excoriated the south for their role in the war he explained that he issued his missives as broadsides since his letters had no chance of publication in the already crowded pages of the newspaper press. The present broadside by Evans suggests a 20-point proposal for peace between the North and South including the abolition of slavery the federal assumption of Confederate debt universal amnesty restoration of all confiscated property the annexation of Mexico the expulsion of the Russians from the Pacific Northwest the seizing of the Hudson's Bay and Arctic fur trade from the British inviting Canada to become part of the United States the unification of Central America and the building of a trans-Darien canal the nationalization of the mining industry universal temperance fair pay charity from the rich and more. The broadside letter concludes: "Unhappy -- deeply unhappy am I in what I am now going to say -- tears of pity grief and shame for the whole country coursing down my cheeks: -- I solemnly declare that I have no doubt and never had that the longer the South holds out the nearer she will be so absolute annihilation ."

‎The State of South Carolina. At a Convention of the People of the State . An Ordinance to Dissolve the Union between the State of South Carolina and the other States . under the compact entitled 'The Constitution of the United States of America' . done at Charleston 20 December 1860‎

‎Charleston: Evans & Cogswell 1861. Lithographic broadside 34 x 26 inches. Expert restoration archivally paper-backed. South Carolina calls for secession.<br/> <br/>The very rare lithographic facsimile of the South Carolina Act of Secession which precipitated the beginning of the Civil War and is thus one of the earliest Confederate imprints. One of only 200 copies printed. This large-format contemporary print of the original engrossed and signed manuscript document presents the Act of Secession as it was passed and signed in the South Carolina State House. It so faithfully executed that it also reproduces the ink blots present on the original document. The document features the text of the secession ordinance and the signatures of D.F. Jamison President of the Convention and 169 delegates to the Secession Convention called by Gov. Francis W. Pickens. The historic resolution which revoked South Carolina's ratification of the United States Constitution was largely the work of Robert Barnwell Rhett editor of the Charleston Mercury which printed a well-known secession broadside of its own proclaiming: "The Union Is Dissolved!" The secession resolution was passed unanimously at 1:15 p.m. on Dec. 20 after which Jamison said "The Ordinance of Secession has been signed and ratified and I proclaim the State of South Carolina an Independent Commonwealth." Shortly after passage of the ordinance Evans & Cogswell printers to the convention were asked to prepare a copy for use by the members. The convention reconvened in March 1861 to address issues related to the coming war. According to the report of Paul Quattlebaum Chairman of the Committee on Printing published as an appendix to the March 28 1861 entry in the Journal of the Convention of the People of South Carolina the printing was "in a style creditable to the art; and by a careful comparison with the original the Committee find it to bear a very notable similarity to it." The convention delegates immediately authorized Evans & Cogswell to print 200 lithographic copies of the Ordinance to be distributed at the direction of D.F. Jamison. Evans & Cogswell likely printed the 200 copies including the present copy in the days that followed and probably before the Battle of Fort Sumter on April 12. The copies were then most likely distributed to the convention delegates and other prominent state officials. An exceedingly rare and important Civil War document with only eleven copies known in institutions according to Parrish & Willingham and even fewer in auction records.<br/> <br/>Crandall 1887; Journal of the Convention of the People of South Carolina pp. 204 543.

If accomplished by this administration and their abettors the labors of the philanthropist and christian are at an end. Slavery will be too strongly established to be disturbed."<br/> Arnold has voted with the Administration "on all the important acts and measures to carry on this iniquitous war for the conquest of Mexico and the extension of slavery.

In his 1868 book 'A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States' Stephens declared the Speech to be a "fabrication."<br/> There follows an answer to the question 'WHO COMMENCED THE WAR' "Those who would throw the guilt of the war upon the shoulders of Mr. Lincoln are requested to read the following catalogue of 'remarkable events' published in a Southern Almanac all of which occurred during the Presidency of Mr. Buchanan."
