[Spanish-American War]: [Tennessee]: [Georgia]
The "Boys" in Camp Thomas. Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park Georgia wrapper title
Chattanooga TN: Sidebottom & Kerr 1898. 48pp. Slim oblong octavo. Original orange-tan wrappers printed in black stapled. Wrappers soiled creased and chipped with contemporary ownership inscription on front wrapper. First and last leaves detached from text block text block itself detached from wrappers. Good only. A scarce historical photobook that doubles as a catalogue for a Chattanooga photography studio at the outset of the Spanish-American War. Named after Union General George H. Thomas Camp Thomas was a massive temporary military training facility established at the Chickamauga Battlefield in Georgia during the Spanish-American War. The camp hosted up to 70000 troops but became a national scandal after deadly disease outbreaks. The work features seventy total monotone photographs from third-page to full-page with brief printed captions and plate sizes memorializing various scenes at Camp Thomas in 1898. The subjects of the photographs include military structures scenes on the training ground soldiers from various state units in small and large groups soldiers hosting local visitors the large corral of horses at the camp monuments inside the camp / national park views of the natural scenery and more. According to explanatory text on the inside front wrapper "the main idea is to show by photograph such scenes of every day occurrence; routine work both on and off duty as will give nearest a correct idea of what the life of a soldier in camp is made of or as you would see him were you on the grounds in person."<br /> <br /> The rear wrapper reveals an additional motivation for the publication of the work in the form of instructions for ordering any of the photographs featured within. Such is the reasoning behind the plate sizes listed by each example. The Chattanooga studio Sidebottom & Kerr states that "Every Plate in this Book was made expressly for it and having the negative can furnish upon short notice photograph of any plate." The company offers to send the catalogue free of charge to anyone east of the Rocky Mountains. A scarce and unusual photobook that does double duty as a Tennessee photographic studio's order book. OCLC reports just eight total institutional holdings. Sidebottom & Kerr unknown

[Civil War]: [Battle of Bull Run]: [Tillman, William]
Daily Sentinel Extra.To-Day's Dispatches. The Latest. Union Forces Retreating. Union Loss 3000
Indianapolis IN: July 22 1861. Broadside 16.75 x 8.5 inches on newsprint printed in three columns. Old folds moderate foxing and toning some creasing. Overall very good. An informative newspaper extra from Indianapolis printing recent dispatches about very early Civil War activity from Washington D.C. Kansas City New York and Baltimore with some homefront news printed in most of the last column. The most notable news printed in two separate dispatches "From Washington" on July 21 and 22 details the disastrous Union losses at the First Battle of Bull Run also know to the Confederates as the First Battle of Manassas. The news begins: "Our troops after taking three batteries and gaining a great victory were eventually repulsed and commenced a retreat on Washington." The news gets worse from there as the dispatch relates that "the carnage was tremendously heavy on both sides and on ours is represented as frightful." The report of Bull Run an event couched here as to "the intensest degree disastrous" comprises about half of the total space on the broadside frantically recounting the loss of troops and armaments the state of remaining supplies the panic of the retreat and the reinforcement of Washington following the retreat. Other war news is related from Kansas City regarding the recent skirmish on July 18 at Harrisonville Missouri New York noting the arrival of the schooner S.J. Waring here identified incorrectly as the "Waiving" and Baltimore concerning the arrival of General Dix.<br /> <br /> The news of the Waring's arrival in New York is particularly interesting for the heroic backstory of its recent capture and re-capture described here: "She was captured by the privateer Jeff. Davis on the night of the 16th. When fifty miles south of Charleston the steward Wm. Tolman colored killed three of the prize crew with a hatchet and the two others were released on promising to assist in working the vessel." "Wm. Tolman" was actually William Tillman a free African American working on the Waring as a steward and cook. After capturing the ship the Confederate prize crew of the Jeff. Davis told Tillman he was now southern property and he would be sold into slavery once the Waring landed in the South. Tillman and other passengers aboard the Waring hatched a plan to re-capture the Waring. Long story short Tillman killed the captain master and first mate and proclaimed himself master of the ship. His heroism was celebrated at the time and would later be recounted in William Wells Brown's The Negro in the American Rebellion Boston 1867. Some historians believe Tillman's heroism contributed to Gideon Welles' decision to open enlistment though admittedly highly restrictive enlistment for African American sailors in the U.S. Navy two months later September 1861 a full year before Black soldiers could enlist in the Army.
