‎Civil War‎

‎DAILY GAZETTE EXTRA! BY TELEGRAPH OVER THE ERIE RAILWAY TELEGRAPH LINE.SUMTER OURS! IT IS TAKEN BY STORM AFTER THREE DAYS OF FURIOUS BOMBARDMENT!.caption title‎

‎N.p. but possibly Williamsport Pa 1863. Broadside 10 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches. Minor wear and soiling. One small tear in left margin. Very good plus. A vivid Civil War broadside showing the immediacy of the news from the front as well as how garbled or false information was disseminated. The headlines further trumpet: "It is occupied by the 144th Pa. Vols. - The 'Old Flag' that Anderson was compelled to lower floating on the ruins! - Glorious news from Gens. Meade and Butler! - Contemplated movement on Richmond." Despite resumption of a terrific bombardment of Fort Sumter on October 26 the fort did not fall to Federal forces. Thousands of rounds were dropped on the fort but it stayed in Confederate hands another sixteen months until evacuated on February 13 1865. It certainly was not occupied by the 144th Pennsylvania Volunteers and Major Anderson's "Old Flag" did not fly over the fort until two hours before the death of Abraham Lincoln on April 15 1865. The whole second column of text concerns events in the Western Theater Georgia Tennessee and Alabama and the progress of the Army of the Potomac in Virginia: <br> <br> ".General Meade was on the march for the city of Richmond under circumstances which rendered it almost certain that he would capture it. The report of the evacuation of Richmond.is of course all bosh.The details of the great movement now being executed I am not allowed to telegraph you.the objective point of the combined command is the city of Richmond." unknown books‎

‎Aroostook War‎

‎MAINE BOUNDARY - MR. GREELY &c. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TRANSMITTING THE INFORMATION.IN RELATION TO THE IMPRISONMENT OF MR. GREELY AT FREDERICKTON IN THE BRITISH PROVINCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK caption title‎

‎Washington 1838. 438pp. Modern cloth gilt leather label. Fine. A scarce government report regarding one of the events that became a cause celebre during the undeclared bloodless "Aroostook War" along the Maine boundary with Canada. Specifically this collection was prompted by the arrest by British authorities in New Brunswick of Ebenezer Greely of Maine who was involved in taking a census of residents along the disputed region of the Upper St. John River between the United States and Canada. The exact border in this region had been in dispute since the 1783 Treaty of Paris ending the American Revolution and the issue was not put to rest until the Webster- Ashburton Treat of 1842. British authorities were also on edge as a result of several instances in which Americans aided rebellious Canadians seeking independence. This extensive report brings together dozens of documents relating to the Maine Boundary Dispute. OCLC locates only two copies - at Mount Allison University and the Toronto Public Library.

‎Janesville Wi. 1862. Broadside 8 1/2 x 6 inches. Light wear and foxing. Very good. An unrecorded Civil War broadside publicizing a dispatch from Union Gen. George B. McClellan following The Seven Days' Battles which occurred between June 26 and July 2 1862. In the course of that week Union and Confederate forces fought a series of battles in five different locales. At the end of these engagements the Confederates withdrew to Richmond. This EXTRA provides information about losses and casualties and states: "Gen. McClellan and his big staff all agree that the position of our army is far more advantageous as a base of operations against Richmond than that hitherto occupied." Although most of the battles in the Seven Days can be considered Union victories the overall outcome of the campaign was still not particularly successful for the Union due to McClellan's weaknesses as a commander in the field. Afterwards the Union's Peninsular Campaign was abandoned and the majority of McClellan's men were transferred to John Pope's army in Northern Virginia. unknown books‎

‎Impressa en la ciudad Imperial de Augusta i.e. Trier: con facultad de la Sacra Magestad del Emperador 1626. 16pp. Small folio. Dbd. Contemporary manuscript docketing on p.16 and contemporary ink underscoring on p.7. Some loss repaired in silk from chipping at gutter and from worming in several leaves the latter affecting some text but not exceeding 1 x 1 inch in area. Closed tears in final leaf repaired with very early paper on verso. Light staining and foxing. Overall very good. The original Spanish translation of an important invective against Louis XIII during the first phase of France's involvement in the Thirty Years' War. At the time of this publication in 1626 France had actively begun to support the Protestant side in the conflict concerned with the political threat of the Hapsburg states that surrounded it on three sides in Spain and Spanish-controlled Flanders to the south and north and the Holy Roman Empire in Germany to the East. In 1624 Cardinal Richelieu was appointed to the Royal Council of Louis XIII and immediately began to institute a vigorous anti-Hapsburg policy. The following year France joined England in subsidizing the efforts of Christian IV of Denmark to defend Lower Saxony against the Holy Roman Empire beginning an involvement in the war that would eventually lead to its own military participation against its fellow Catholic powers. <br> <br> The present document is a long and detailed warning to Louis XIII against pursuing a course of actions that would pit France against the rest of the Catholic world. According to the document itself the text was first composed in French and subsequently translated into Latin and thence into Castilian Spanish. It immediately occasioned a number of responses and refutations and its anonymous authorship soon became the subject of a 200-year-long debate. In his exhaustive and authoritative bibliography on the Jesuits BIBLIOTHÈQUE DE LA COMPAGNIE DE JÉSUS Augustin de Backer seems to have put the question of authorship to rest attributing it to the German Jesuit Jacob Keller. Keller 1568-1631 was a German scholar and controversialist widely regarded as a genius and best known for a counter- Calvinist tract on Tyrannicide and a celebrated defense of the Papacy in a debate with Lutheran theologian Jacob Heilbrunner. Backer lists both the French and Latin versions of the EXHORTATION. and refers to a German translation but he omits any mention of the present Spanish version. He also describes the document as having been printed in Italy which may result from confusion regarding the city name of Augusta. While Augusta Syracuse was under anti- French Spanish control in 1626 and may thus be a candidate for the printing location all other signs and context point to Trier "Augusta Treverorum" in Latin including the publisher's imprint which calls Augusta an "imperial city" and declares permission for publication from the Holy Roman Emperor. <br> <br> An extremely interesting and rare document anticipating the violent wars between France and the rest of Catholic Europe of the following decade and offering a view of the French-Hapsburg rivalry from the Austro- German Hapsburg perspective and translated for the Spanish Hapsburg audience.

‎STATE OF MAINE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT AUGUSTA MAY 29 1846. TO THE CITIZENS OF MAINE.STATE OF MAINE. HEAD QUARTERS AUGUSTA MAY 29 1846. GENERAL ORDER.caption title‎

‎Augusta Me 1846. 2pp. on bifolium sheet of blue paper. Printed on recto of each leaf only. Early soft creases from folding. Tiny separations at cross-folds. Small bit of discoloration on second page. Very good. Message of Maine governor H.J. Anderson and a general order from Alfred Redington Commander in Chief of the Maine militia calling volunteers to arms in the Mexican- American War. Anderson explains that "the repeated and long continued efforts of the National Government to effect an amicable settlement of the differences with the government of Mexico have unfortunately proved unavailing" resulting in the American declaration of war. Anderson notes that the President has requested one regiment of infantry from Maine and writes that he has no doubt "that the patriotic citizens of this State will promptly respond to the call of the general government for aid in defending any portion of its territory." Redington's general order lists the positions in the infantry volunteer corps being assembled and transmits instructions for volunteers. "Maine although distant from the scene of the conflict will be as prompt as any of her sister States in repelling the forces of the invader. Her patriotic citizens will be as ready to vindicate rights upon the Rio Grande as upon their own immediate territory. Their love of country knows no section but embraces the entire boundaries of the Republic" - Redington. unknown books‎

‎Quasi War with France‎

‎LAW OF THE UNITED STATES. BY AUTHORITY. FIFTH CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.AN ACT FURTHER TO SUSPEND THE COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE AND THE DEPENDENCIES THEREOF caption title‎

‎Philadelphia 1799. Broadside 13 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches printed in three columns. Docketed in ink on verso. Three horizontal folds. Some light edge wear small separations at edges of folds not affecting text. Very good. Rare congressional act extending the suspension of trade with France during the so- called "Quasi-War" of the late 1790s and adding a provision allowing the U.S. Navy to inspect and seize American ships that are violating the embargo. This act was approved February 9 1799 and extends the provisions of the law first approved on June 13 1798. It is signed in type at the end by President Adams Vice President Jefferson and Speaker of the House Jonathan Dayton. The Quasi-War was an undeclared conflict between the United States and France during the Adams administration in the late 1790s manifested mostly in naval engagements between the two nations. The war was the outgrowth of deteriorating Franco-American relations which had been weakened earlier in the decade by the Genêt Affair and the XYZ Affair and it wreaked havoc on commerce between the two nations. One of the main weapons wielded by Adams was to ban American commerce from France and French dependencies accomplished by the congressional act of 1798 and extended by the present law. The law forbids American ships from trading with France or with French dependencies including in the West Indies and goes on to bar French commerce and French ships from American ports. Significantly this act goes beyond the provisions of the 1798 law by permitting United States Navy vessels to inspect and potentially seize American vessels that have traded with France or with French dependencies. <br> <br> This broadside format is unusual for the printing of a law and indicates that it was meant to be displayed in ports and customs officers for the attention of ships' masters who may have been unaware of the embargo law or willfully violating it.

‎British Political Satire: War of Jenkins' Ear‎

‎THE PREFERMENT OF THE BARBER'S BLOCK. THE CARDINAL IN THE DUMPS WITH THE HEAD OF THE COLOSSUS caption title‎

‎London 1740. Engraving with hand-coloring 14 x 8 3/4 inches. Minor soiling. Color quite bright and fresh. Very good. A satire against French Cardinal Fleury Chief Minister to Louis XV published during the frenzy of celebrations over Admiral Vernon's victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Porto Bello - an enthusiasm which the Cardinal apparently did not share. Fleury was an ally of Robert Walpole whose power was in decline and had reluctantly agreed to hostilities with Spain. Fleury is seen here seated reaching out toward a medallion of Admiral Vernon and holding a scroll which reads "His iron will get ye better of my gold" and "G-d he'll take all our acquisitions in America." On the wall behind him are several small crude illustrations one of which appears to be a portly Walpole hanging from a gallows above the slogan "No matter if he is longer than ye gallows." A head sits atop a pole perhaps alluding to the fact that many people would be pleased to see Walpole's head positioned thus. Engraved by George Bickham. Only one copy located in OCLC at Northwestern University. BRITISH LIBRARY CATALOG 2454. OCLC 43946235. unknown books‎

‎Mexican American War: Scott Winfield‎

‎HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY NATIONAL PALACE OF MEXICO SEPT. 17 1847. GENERAL ORDERS - No. 287‎

‎Mexico City 1847. 4pp. printed on a. single folded sheet. Old vertical crease. Three tears along the central fold resulting in loss of paper but no text. Very good. A rare copy of an important order issued by Gen. Winfield Scott just days after his victory at the Battle of Chapultepec and his taking of Mexico City. Chapultepec was the final victory in Scott's march to the Mexican capital following victories at Cerro Gordo Contreras Churubusco and Molino del Rey. Largely outnumbered against Santa Anna's forces Scott produced a series of stunning victories leading to his capture of Mexico City and the issuance of this broadside which seeks to establish order by proclaiming martial law in the capital. <br> <br> A preamble to the General Orders announces that this is a restatement "with important additions" of Scott's order of Feb. 19 1847 issued from Tampico which also declared martial law. In the present order meant to maintain order in the newly conquered city Scott lays out the prohibitions for a wide variety of acts including assassination murder poisoning rape assault robbery theft the desecration of churches and cemeteries and more. Significantly he announces that such rules will apply equally to Americans as to Mexicans. He points out that these laws are important not only to guide his army but "for the protection of the unoffending inhabitants and their property about the theatres of military operations against injuries on the part of the army contrary to the laws of war." Scott further extends martial law to any part of Mexico under the control of U.S. forces. Lastly he announces that the American army will safeguard all of the churches monasteries convents inhabitants and property in Mexico City and announces a "contribution" of $150000 to be imposed on the capital to pay for these services payable in four equal installments. <br> <br> The order is signed in manuscript at the end by Winfield Scott's Assistant Adjutant General H.L. Scott. Garrett locates the copy at the University of Texas at Arlington and OCLC adds copies at the California State Library Sutro copy and the University of North Carolina. GARRETT p.390.

Oblong 12mo. Original Plexiglas binding brad bound with a cover reading: "Construction Photographs 55th Seabee's." The photographs are clean and clear. Near fine. A very interesting album of photographs documenting the construction of the U.S. Navy Base on the tiny island of Mios Woendi during World War II. Located in the Dutch East Indies near Indonesia Mios Woendi was an important base for American PT boats and for larger ships as well. The photographs in this album show the construction of the base by the U.S. Navy construction battalion known as the "Seabees." The photographs give aerial views of the island the dense foliage the Seabee's camp and dozens of detailed views of all stages of the construction of the base. Also dozens of PT boats - this could be "McHale's Navy." Likely produced in a very small number for military authorities and participants in the construction.

‎Civil War: Simplot Alexander?‎

‎BATTLE OF CORINTH. OCT. 1862 manuscript caption title‎

‎Corinth Ms 1862. Pencil drawing 13 1/2 x 21 inches. Small tears at right and left edges lower right corner torn away. Small red ink stain on lower edge. Central vertical fold. Light soiling and wear. About very good. An original pencil sketch depicting a crucial moment in the Second Battle of Corinth which took place on October 3-4 1862 probably by war correspondent Alexander Simplot. This drawing was engraved for HARPER'S WEEKLY where its caption puts it in context as depicting the battle's key moment. A single three-cannon Union battery led by Lieut. Henry Robinet had been inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking Confederates. Here the Confederates have stormed the battery and are attempting to take it in hand- to-hand combat. The Federals recaptured the battery later that day leading to a Union victory and a Confederate retreat. The engraving from HARPER'S is included which attributes the sketch to Alexander Simplot though the drawing itself is unsigned. Simplot a native of Iowa was a schoolteacher and artist turned war correspondent. Early in 1862 Simplot began traveling with the army of U.S. Grant which in October was stationed in Tennessee near the Mississippi border. unknown books‎

‎World War I Treaties Austria: Treaty of Saint Germain‎

‎CONDITIONS OF PEACE WITH AUSTRIA caption title printed in English French and Italian‎

‎N.p. but likely Paris 1919. Four versions of the text separately paginated and grouped together printed in English French and Italian two versions. Folio. Gathered signatures loosely inserted into printed wrappers as issued the four sections laid into a general printed wrapper. Moderate edge wear. Near fine. Germany's great ally in World War I was the Austro-Hungarian empire which in 1919 was broken apart and made into the separate states of Austria and Hungary birthing as well several other nations in Eastern Europe. The new state of Austria signed the Treaty of Saint Germain making peace with the victorious Allies on September 10 1919. Present here are preliminary printings in English French and Italian actually two Italian versions of that treaty indicated as such by the printed words "proof" "epreuves" and "bozza" on the respective treaties. The articles three versions of the treaty are not numbered sequentially but rather are numbered discreetly within parts and the pagination is not continuous between the parts. The second Italian version present here however does number the articles a total of 371 and the pages a total of 177 continuously though there is no printed date for the signing of the treaty indicating that it is also a preliminary proof printing though made later than the other three. Several of the most important parts of the treaty - those dealing with financial reparations for example - are blank here indicating that these proof versions were printed before those matters were completely settled. <br> <br> The conclusion of the Great War split apart the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the Treaty of Saint-Germain the newly-created state of Austria recognized the independence of Hungary Czechoslovakia Poland and Yugoslavia and also had to cede much land to Italy and Bukovina to Romania. Austria also had to agree never to compromise its independence and was therefore forbidden from entering into any alliance with Germany. Austria was also forced to admit its complicity with Germany in waging the war and was saddled with reparations payments. Austria's army was limited to 30000 and other articles of the treaty addressed political and economic issues. The text of the treaty also contained the League of Nations Covenant and therefore was never ratified by the United States Senate. <br> <br> A very rare and interesting version of an important treaty ending the First World War here in a very small printing likely made only for participants in the peace conference. unknown books‎

‎Utah War: Mormon Church‎

‎MORMONISM - INCREASE OF THE ARMY. SPEECH OF HON. JOHN THOMPSON OF NEW YORK. DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JANUARY 27 1858‎

‎Washington D.C. 1858. 8pp. Folded quarto sheet. Two soft horizontal creases some dust-soiling and edge wear minor fold separations. Good. A decidedly anti-Mormon speech delivered in the midst of the Utah War on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman John Thompson who concludes by arguing the absolute necessity of increasing the size of the army to suppress the Mormon conflict. Thompson is clearly no fan of the Mormons. He presents polygamy as a threat to America and argues for harsh treatment of the Mormons in Utah. Thompson categorizes the founder of Mormonism Joseph Smith as possessing "that singular compound of genius and folly of cunning and absurdity of indolence and energy of craft and earnestness which distinguished him to the end of his career." Thompson accuses Smith of attempting "to introduce communism" through his "spiritual despotism." But he reserves his most vicious rhetoric for Brigham Young and the Mormons currently fighting U.S. forces in Utah: <br> <br> "What will you do with Utah.I would send an army there sufficient to apprehend Young and his co-conspirators against the authority of the General Government - who will be found to include every lord of the seraglio - try them for treason and hang every one without distinction who should be found guilty; excluding every Mormon from any participation in the legal processes of the court." <br> <br> A rare official screed against the Utah Mormons whose ultimate surrender to the U.S. government in mid-1858 resulted in Brigham Young's removal as territorial governor. The conflict and its aftermath left a rift between the Utah Mormons and the U.S. government that delayed Utah statehood for almost forty years. OCLC records only eighteen copies.
