This noted U.S. Treasury Department statistician was an entrepreneur who created a composite photograph of signers of the amendment abolishing slavery that proved quite popular; he was also an inventor archaeologist social reformer philanthropist and evangelist who created cartographic maps of Egypt and North Africa for the Oriental Topographical Corps. ALS 1p 8½" X 10 3/4" n.p. n.y. August 29. Addressed to Giles F. Ward in New York City -- possibly father of Giles F. Ward Jr. 1845-65 a lieutenant with the 12th New York Cavalry who was accidentally killed by a colleague while in North Carolina. Very good. Penned on ultra-thin onion-skin paper with occasional burn-through from heavily-inked letters. Reads in part: "I write this. to request that you will favor me with your own opinion freely expressed as to what the price of the Lincoln Cot should be the patent either on a joint stock operation or on sale in the other way you spoke of a simple sale of the right Please let me know what in your judgment it should be even though it be less than 1/10 the proposed figures" Boldly penned in rich brown ink. Powell and two others one of whose last name was Lincoln designed this specialized portable cot in 1862 and sought to interest the U.S. Army in providing it to the troops. A fascinating piece. unknown
This Civil War officer served as lieutenant colonel later brevet brigadier general with the Second Corps where he was chief commissary of subsistence; he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his October 27 1864 service at Hatchers's Run Virginia where he led part of a brigade that captured Confederate soldiers and their flag and saved artillery. Clipped portion of a printed Document Signed 8½" X 2¼" n.p. n.y. Near fine. Below the printed line "therein expressed; that their services were rendered as stated and were necessary for the public service" Smith signs in full large and bold in brown ink on a dotted line at lower right. Below his signature his rank "Lt. Col. & Chief / 2nd Corps" is handsomely penned in another hand. Likely clipped from a routine military form of some sort. unknown
This quartermaster with the 28th Pennsylvania Infantry 1861-62 was later a captain and Adjutant Commissar of Subsistence until the war's end at which time he became personal secretary to Governor John W. Geary 1867-73 a former Union general -- and Lee's brother-in-law. ALS 2pp lettersheet 5" X 7 3/4" Harrisburg PA 1872 October 15. Addressed to George A. Lewis. Very good. Mild bit of soiling; minor mounting trace on blank 4th leaf. On ornate "Executive Chamber" letterhead Lee replies to a cryptic request. In part: "Your favor to the Governor is received. I am directed to say that he cannot give you the desired information By applying to Genl. Meigs Q.M. General U.S. Army you can probably ascertain when the book can be found." Boldly signed along with "Private Secretary." A handsome example neatly and legible penned. unknown
The daughter of one of Abraham Lincoln's law partners and his presidential bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon 1828-93 she pieced together and edited her father's book "Recollections of Abraham Lincoln 1847-1865" Chicago 1895; a bawdy and not particularly popular companion to the president Lamon authored it was actually ghostwritten an 1872 "Life of Abraham Lincoln" that's considered the first debunking biography of the president. PS 8½" X 11" n.p. 1945 November 4. Very good. Small glue stain at upper right well away from image. This most unusual PS does not depict Teillard herself but rather is a thermofax copy of a 3½" X 3½" portrait of a young Ward Hill Lamon centered and with large margins. Early head-and-shoulders portrait showing a youthful Lamon with long curly hair and flowing goatee. On the ample lower margin his daughter inscribes it big and bold: "With regards of / Dorothy Lamon Teillard / November 4 1945." Though written while well into her 80s Teillard's script is fluid and attractive. A quite uncommon autograph in an unusual form. unknown
Confederate brigadier general and Alabama senator 1877-1907. ALS 1p 7½" X 10" U.S. Senate Chamber letterhead Washington DC 1884 June 16. Addressed to "My Dear Major." Good. Slight age toning. Inquires about the whereabouts of the 21st and 22nd volumes of State Department statutes which should have been sent to him in DC but may have been directed to Selma Alabama. Pencilled draft of a response on the verso in unidentified hand. Uncommon. unknown
Supposedly the youngest soldier to enlist in the Civil War; others such as Johnny Clem born 1851 the "Union Drummer Boy of Chickamauga" were indeed younger although Clem did not carry a weapon until later was not officially mustered in and his wages were paid out of donations by the officers. Morefield's credentials therefore appear sound. ALS 1p 8" X 10" Elkhorn WI 1892 March 10. Addressed to W.E. Ambler. Near fine. Slight mailing folds. To a journalist or scholar researching Morefield's claim to fame Morefield transmits a photograph "Coppied from a tin tipe that I had taken soon after I Enlisted" not present. He agrees to "write up my Army Experience I dont know jest what you want do you want to know whare the Regiments went and What we went through I will say this much to you if it hendent of been for the Exposure of Camp life and picket duty and Rheumatism and diseases resulting from Rheumatism that I contracted while In the Army my Experience would been a good one." An intriguing very scarce item. unknown
Major general in charge of the Department of Maryland and the East; as treasury secretary he is credited with saying "If anyone attempts to haul down the American flag shoot him on the spot!" Printed DS 1p 13" X 6¼" New York NY n.d. Fine.

A striking piece. unknown
