‎1858 letter written aboard the USS Atlanta in Barbados from a future officer in the Confederate Navy and witness to the battle of the Monitor and Merrimac. Contents include a racist rant against free blacks in Barbados‎

‎Barbados: n.p. 1858. Letter. Good. Letter. 8" x 10". 4 pages. 3 pages of contents. Page 4 clipped section at bottom. Paper folded and in very good condition otherwise. <br /> <br /> Letter written aboard the USS Atlanta at Barbados December 27 1858. Eggleston writes: "I am perfectly willing to leave Barbados and its free impertinent darkies. I would like to lasso some 50 or 100 and put them to work in a cotton field. I am convinced that such a field is the only one in which the darky character can be truly developed. Here they do nothing but stroll about the streets & chatter like so many monkeys from sunrise to sunset. We employ them to coal our vessels and how I have wished for Jack Stringer with a bull whip among them whenever I have had anything to do with them". <br /> <br /> Eggleston would later serve as a Lieutenant on the CSS Virginia and was later promoted to Captain in the Confederate Navy. Eggleston was one of the lieutenants of the Virginia Merrimac during its life under the Confederate flag. During his life Eggleston provided details of the legendary battle of the two ironclad ships which can be found under various web sites. n.p. unknown‎

‎[World War I – Ottoman Empire – Turkish War of Independence] "HC" H C‎

‎Letters Home from an American Professor Working in the Ottoman Empire in the Aftermath of World War I.‎

‎Constantinople New York City and others 1922. Four letters totaling seven pages. Folded else fine. A small collection of letters from “H.C.†who seems to have been an American university professor in Constantinople to his “Darling Clementine†back home. H.C. may have taught at Robert College a Christian college founded in 1863 now a prestigious private highschool.<br /> <br /> It is not clear when H.C. first arrived in Constantinople but he had been there for several years already by the time the letters begin and was certainly there at a critical point in its history. He writes in 1918 shortly after the arrival of occupying forces:<br /> <br /> “conditions are still very bad in town I long to see the suffering diminished. Some say it will be months yet. Sometimes now there is no coal no electric light no bread no water. Can you imagine the state of an Oriental city under such conditions We have had are still having trouble about light water-supply but we have steam heat plenty of food of a plain kind. We all keep well. . I hear that an American Red Cross boat will arrive next week I am eager to see its passengers. We may have a chance to leave on it but I can not see my way clear to skip because our faculty is depleted ever since the exodus at the time of the panic long ago when Miss Lyon left. . We have a good college now – boarders about 90 in the College-department – and many day scholars but lately the Spanish fever the lack of tram-car service has kept many students away. As soon as our cousins supply coal we hope for improvement. The Ententists are spreading over the city thoroughly quietly – like oil. It is a delight to see so many manly looking officers after the ones we have had here for years. There is a spiritual look in the eyes of the present occupants a look of bull-dog determination.†December 6 1918<br /> <br /> H.C. enjoys a “real yachting cruise†on his way back to Constantinople from the States in 1921 tells Clementine about his plans for his commencement speech in 1922 and describes a college reception in New York City which “General Custer’s wife†Elizabeth Bacon Custer attended undated letter. Meanwhile Turkey was engaged in its brutal war for independence. At some point H.C. befriended Electra—probably a Greek woman—whom he sent along to visit Clementine in part to help Electra cope with her traumatic experiences during the war:<br /> <br /> “As you will recall my young friend’s father was executed – tho innocent – with about 70 others. At first E. bore this with wonderful fortitude but after Xmas a reaction set in naturally enough. She developed morbidness a hyper sensitive attitude toward all of my looks words – probably a condition due to shock. I am confident that travel new scenes interests will bring her back to her old self your wholesome household will chase all gloom away. A doctor told her lately that she has hysteria that she must think of cheerful things only. I tell you this thinking that you might keep her from talking about the nation that does cruel things. The truth is that cruelty is pretty generally distributed a judicial mind finds it difficult to pick choose. Some nations get the public ear so the pot can call the kettle black!†June 6 1922<br /> <br /> Indeed both sides of the Greco-Turkish war—part of the larger Turkish campaign for independence—massacred each other. However only the Turkish contingent’s actions have been argued by historians to constitute ethnic cleansing or genocide.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey post-World War I especially Americans’ experience thereof. unknown‎

‎Philadelphia: n/p 1887. Letters. Good. Letters. Lot of 10 letters possibly disbound from a larger collection. These letters were written in response to requested articles by the Editor of the Philadelphia Weekly Press. Letters written on good paper are pasted down on brown paper that is fragile with small edge tears and chips. Later short abbreviated notes written in pencil on the letters. Content of the replies are varied and provide additional primary source information and insights for the Editor of the Weekly Press. Contents are mostly legible. A summary of the letters follows:<br /> <br /> First letter is dated December 12 1885 and signed by William E. Miller. The letter is one page and written on his hardware store letterhead in Carlisle Pennsylvania. Letter reads: . "After writing you this afternoon I called upon Col. Sharp and told him What I done - the Col. replied that he the article without a view to its publication but of it was desired he would not object he says the article covers 32 pages of legal of words to a line - 21 pages are descriptive of the battle and its incidents and the last 11 pages are made of reminiscences of officers in Command of Regiments the battery the squadron of Calvary and the Commanders of Brigade and Division Commanders all of whom are dead though the article is in two parts he would object to it being printed separately. Very truly signed Wm. E. Bell To Editor of Weekly Press."<br /> <br /> Second letter is one page and dated Dec. 28th 1885. The correspondence is written on "Humboldt Safe Deposit & Trust Co" letterhead and signed by John C. Hilton at the bottom. Hilton writes the editor "In the matter of writing a history of the 145th P.V. during the battle of Gettysburg I must inform you I hardly feel competent to undertake it. The Gen would be the proper person had he been in the action and as for myself I was severely wounded at the time and cannot give as good a discription as one who passed through the engagement unscathed."<br /> <br /> Third letter is one page and a back and correspondence written on the Philadelphia Weekly Press letterhead dated December 31 1885. The editor of the paper requests of W. Hayes Grier "Can you prepare for publication in the weekly press the war article as indicated in a invitation sent to you some months ago If so please indicate when we may expect the manuscript Yours Truly Editor "Weekly Press". W. Hayes Grier response ."I will prepare the article and forward it in February."<br /> <br /> Fourth letter is one page and dated Jan 2d 1886. Correspondence is signed by "Wm. H. Grovinger." Written neatly from "Port Royal Juanita Co. Penna Grovinger writes "Mr. Editor Dear Sir I have in my possession a very interesting manuscript relating to the life of one of the brave defenders of the Union his trials and hardships while in Southern Prisons his several escapes from the same with his reasons for Sustaining the actions of the Government in its exchange policy it is written in good style but I think as it was intended for the use of his family some parts would not be suited for the general reader I will carefully compile it for publication Please give me your plan of publication and whether I will I would be compensated for my trouble I can vouch for the entire truthfulness of the manuscript."<br /> <br /> Fifth letter is 2 pages and written on United States Treasury Department letterhead and dated January 7 1886. The letter is signed at the bottom of page 2 by "A M Judson late Capt Co. E. 83 PV". Judson writes I answered the first letter Dec 10 85 stating in substance that in 1865 I wrote & published the "History of the 83d Regt P.V." when all the events therein detailed were fresh in my memory & when I was much more in the humor for description then than & that if the description of the Gettysburg fight there given would suit your purpose you are at liberty to use it." Judson points the editor to getting a copy of his book for the purpose of placing an article in the paper. <br /> <br /> Sixth letter is one page and dated February 11 1886. Letter has a blue ink stamp upper left corner from "J. Merrill Linn Attorney-At-Law Lewisburg Penna" and signed by Linn at the bottom. Linn writes of another regimental officer "Gobins Regiment saved Bancks Army on the Red River - is Pa Reg't took Stone Bridge at Roanoke - A Pa. Reg't captured by assault the first at New Berne.". He also writes "If it won't interfere with Gen Hartranft I would like to write the Battle of New Berne. We planted the old Fourth Pa. Flag first in the earth works."<br /> <br /> Seventh letter is two separate pages written on "D. R. P. Hibbs. Attorney At Law." letterhead in Albert Lea Minn. and dated February 20 1886. Hibbs writes "to the prep of an article for "The Press of the 104" P Vols. in the war I would say that Gen. Davis as an a war hero published a history of the 104" Hibbs is asking to the editor to give some advice on how Hibbs can add more to the unit history. <br /> <br /> Eighth letter is 2 pages long and dated May 17 1886. Written on "J. H. Longnecker Attorney at Law" letterhead and signed by Longnecker at the end. He writes "I rec'd yours of April 29 in regard to writing a sketch of the 101 Pa. Regt. I delayed writing in reply hoping to see you personally in Phila. last week while attending the Supreme Court." Longnecker states that he has other commitments including a Congressional nomination that keeps him from "gathering up facts and writing such a paper."<br /> <br /> Ninth letter is a second letter signed by W. Hayes Grier on "Office of Superintendent of Public Printing. Harrisburg Pa." letterhead and dated January 10 1887. Hayes updates the editor on his delayed article is a result "that I had lost the most important one issued by Gen. Cameron on Dranesville. I wrote to the Sec. of War and asked him to send me a copy giving him the date. Today I received it and I will at once prepare the orders and send them to you with remarks explanatory of each."<br /> <br /> The tenth and final letter in this group is dated May 23 1887. Letter written from Brookline Mass and signed by Theodore Lyman at bottom. The correspondence is very short and written in a shaky hand - "Dear Sir As I joined Gen Meade's staff after Gettysburg it would not be possible for me to write the paper you ask for." Officers that replied the editor's request include Captain William E. Miller. <br /> <br /> From wikipedia: Miller received his country's highest award for bravery during combat the Medal of Honor for actions taken on July 3 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg. While ordered to keep his company stationed on a hill he disobeyed these orders to lead a surprise attack against a Confederate charge. On July 3 Miller was given orders to hold his company "at all hazards"9 in the woods north of the Lott house and assist the 1st New Jersey Cavalry Regiment in repelling Brigadier General Wade Hampton's advance.5 When the enemy brigade advanced Miller noticed a large contingent led by Confederate Brigadier General Fitzhugh Lee threatening to break through a main section of the Union line.8 From his flank position he decided to disobey his orders and attack the Confederate from the side and stated to his adjutants "I have been ordered to hold this position but if you will back me up in case I am court-martialed for disobedience I will order a charge."810 With full company agreement Miller led his men into the flank of the Confederate advance causing confusion among the rebels who believed their retreat path was about to be cut off.9 Because of Miller's surprise attack the Confederate rear line was dispersed511 and the Union line saved.310<br /> <br /> John C. Hilton writes in his letter that he was severely injured in his correspondence. From find a grave dot com - "Case 454. — Captain John C. Hilton Co. K 145th Pennsylvania aged 22 years was wounded at Gettysburg July 2 1863 by a conoidal ball which fractured the right femur in its upper third.

‎(Civil War) Sherman, William T‎

‎Military Map Showing the Marches of the United States Forces Under the Command of Maj. Genl. William T. Sherman During the Years 1863 1864 1865‎

‎St. Louis: Printed by Joseph Gedney 1865. Inscribed by Sherman at the lower right "With compliments of W. T. Sherman Lt. Genl. Saint Louis MO September 21 1868. Large map drawn by Capt. William Kossak and John B. Muller under the direction of Maj. W. L. B. Jenney engraved by Evans and Courtenay. 33x51 inches sheet size. Military movements hand colored. Old folds repairs on verso along folds minor staining. Inscribed by Sherman at the lower right "With compliments of W. T. Sherman Lt. Genl. Saint Louis MO September 21 1868" Large map drawn by Capt. William Kossak and John B. Muller under the direction of Maj. W. L. B. Jenney engraved by Evans and Courtenay. 33x51 inches sheet size. Military movements hand colored. An impressively large map covering most of the southern theater of the Civil War extending from Washington D.C. in the northeast to Brunswick GA in the south and westward as far as Natchez Little Rock and St. Louis. The map is filled with remarkable detail including roads towns and villages rivers creeks and railroads. Compiled under the direction of Bvt. Maj. W.L.B. Jenney by order of General Sherman 13 different authorities are credited in its preparation.<br /> <br /> A key to the hand coloring at the bottom reveals the true reason for the map i.e. to chart Sherman's taking of Atlanta and his infamous march to the sea: black lines show the route of the infantry yellow the pursuit of Hood red the 4th Army Corps green the 14th Army Corps and so on; Union fortifications are colored blue and Confederate in red; the routes of Wilson and Stoneman's cavalry corps are also separately delineated.<br /> <br /> There are various versions of this map similarly titled but produced for different publishers and reasons. The most common includes the imprint of Ferd. Mayer Genl. Lith. of New York who printed the map for inclusion in Sherman's Memoirs New York 1875. Another version was produced at a reduced scale for inclusion in the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies with the imprint of Julius Bien plate CXVII. Yet another includes the The American Photo-Lithographic Company of New York imprint at the lower right. The present version however with the St. Louis imprint of Joseph Gedney at the lower left would appear to have been separately published. Given the present version inscribed by Sherman it was perhaps produced on his behalf.<br /> <br /> We have never encountered another of these maps inscribed and signed by Sherman.

‎(Civil War)‎

‎How The War Commenced And How Near It Is Ended‎

‎New York: National Union Executive Committee 1864. Broadside illustrated with a map. 18-1/8x11-1/2 inches. Old folds. Broadside illustrated with a map. 18-1/8x11-1/2 inches. A cartographically illustrated broadside produced in support of Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 election against the claims of the Peace Democrats. The map depicts the southern states with the Confederate regions in black and the Union-held areas in gray. The text of the broadside which refutes the anti-Lincoln claims of the Copperheads concludes: "We have shown unmistakably who commenced the war. It must be apparent to all that the Government has thus far a decided and prepondering advantage. The end cannot be doubtful. They who violated the Divine Law have incurred the penalty and will inevitably meet the allotted punishment. They who took the sword are perishing by the sword.".
