Civil War: Tennessee
LARGE CONFEDERATE MUSTER ROLL FOR COMPANY E OF THE 2nd GEORGIA BATTALION SHARPSHOOTERS ARMY OF TENNESSEE DATED FEBRUARY 28th 1863
Richmond 1863. Printed form approximately 24 x 36 inches completed in manuscript. Folded. Light wear and a few small separations along folds. Slightly wrinkled at right edge. Moderate tanning scattered foxing. Still very good. A rare example of a Civil War muster roll for a Confederate unit. This roll is for for Company E of the 2nd Battalion Georgia Sharpshooters commanded by Maj. J.J. Cox as they mustered on Feb. 28 1863 near Chattanooga shortly after the battle of Fort Donelson. Although it was a Georgia Battalion the vast majority of men in Company E were from Montgomery Alabama. As a part of Gen. J.K. Jackson's Brigade in the Army of Tennessee the unit fought at Murfreesboro Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge and later as a part of Gen. Gist's Brigade participated in the battle for Atlanta and Hood's Tennessee operations. The roll lists all officers and enlisted men records two deaths in the company a number of absentees through sickness and desertion and even notes two instances of substitution. Civil War soldier substitutions were a controversial tactic in which men of means bought their way out of service. A fine copy of a scarce Confederate military document. unknown books

Boston: L. Prang & Co. 1862. Large lithographic poster 38 x 26 inches. Backed with later paper. Old fold lines some minor soiling and wear. Minor loss at a few folds. Nearly very good. A handsome and large-scale map of Virginia from Norfolk to Lynchburg and north to Baltimore and Harper's Ferry. The explanatory cartouche indicates "The extraordinary large scale on which this map is drawn has been adapted to make it just what we designed it to be namely 1st. The most distinct map ever published of the whole Virginia Territory; 2nd. A Marking Map that is a map to mark the change of positions of the Union Forces in red pencil and the Rebel Forces in blue on the receipt of every telegram from the seat of war; for this latter purpose we want plenty of space and a distinctness combined with enough detail not to crowd but to enable us to follow the march of the army as advised by the telegrams. The pencils which we also furnish should be used with a light hand to enable obliterating the marks with the aid of a little soft bread if found necessary. These peculiarities combined with extreme cheapness will make this Map a welcome companion to every person interested in the pending struggle of our nation." L. Prang & Co. unknown books

World War I Narrative: Munthe Axel
RED CROSS & IRON CROSS. "By a Doctor in France."
London: John Murray 1917. Small octavo. Boards printed labels. Benefit slip tipped in facing title. Very good without the printed dust jacket. Sixth impression July 1917 - first printed in June 1916. Tipped in after the title is the publisher's 'With the Author's Compliments' leaf. With the ownership inscription. dated 8 Feb. 1919 of Sir Lees Knowles 1st Baronet noting that the book was sent to him by the author Axel Munthe from Capri. Tipped in back are two typed letters signed from Munthe as well as signed carbons of Knowles's letters to Munthe regarding receipt and appreciation of each other's books Knowles having sent Munthe a copy of his book THE BRITISH IN CAPRI. The most substantial of the two letters from Munthe Capri Jan 20th 1919 slightly more than one page closely typed quarto with manuscript postscript and corrections evidences Munthe's difficulties with his vision and reads in part: "I suppose you know that the last fight was in my garden in Sanmichele sic. I used to pick up english soldiers buttons in the garden together with coins of Nero and Tiberius. In return for your sending me your book I have asked my publisher John Murray to send you a copy of 'Red Cross and Iron Cross.' The italian translation of the little book was bought up by the British govvsic for anti german propaganda and they were just issuing another large popular edition in Italy at the expense of the British mission when the armistice came. I am just reading the MS of the french translation. I had to return here on account of the wretched condition of my eyes and was not able to assist to the finale of the world drama. But I had a good go of it during the early stages of the war and was even in the hands of the germans for twenty four hours. The book is signed by 'A Doctor in France' instead of my name. Notwithstanding my efforts to hide myself - I went so far as to commit suicide in the preface - the narrative is much too personal to be signed by its author. I hope it gives you the sensation of life and of truth I ask for nothing more ." He continues with news of his situation and the state of things in Capri. Signed in ink "Sincerely yours Axel Munthe." Two envelopes addressed to Knowles by Munthe from Capri are also tipped in. An interesting copy of this significant WWI narrative -- all proceeds of the sales went to benefit the Red Cross. It was not until 1930 that the book was republished under Munthe's name. John Murray hardcover books
