[Civil War South Carolina Confederacy]] [Jenkins, John]; Gervais, Paul J
Autograph Manuscript Signed Confederate Military Report Submitted to Major John Jenkins Regarding Union Transports Arriving Around Folly Island and Johns Island in July 1863 with Report of Number of Companies Under the Command of John Jenkins December 1863
Camp Fripp Fripp Island; Johns Island SC 1863. Very good extremities worn torn along folds few repairs light soiling and ink bleed through. 2 blue sheets. 8x10 inches and 8 x 6 1/2 inches. Johns Island like its neighbors Folly Island and Edisto Island was reinforced by several South Carolina cavalry units throughout the Civil War. Among the commanders stationed there were Captain John Legare Walpole Captain Moses Benbow Humphrey and Captain John Jenkins who was promoted to Major in October of 1862 when he took command over all of Johns Island's regular forces Johns Island Conservancy: The Battle of Haulover Cut.<br /> <br /> The first of these documents is a July 19th 1863 report signed by Acting Adjutant Paul J. Gervais at Camp Fripp by order of Captain Walpole and submitted to Major John Jenkins. The report details the comings and goings of Union vessels along the surrounding rivers. "The report from the North Edisto is that there are Four Steamers and Two Schooners in the river. The report from Stono is that at 8 o'clock a black three masted transport came in loaded with troops and had them still on board at sunset." Gervais proceeds to give a detailed chronicle of ships arriving throughout the evening including the transport Delaware the McDonough and a series of other unnamed schooners and gunboats. In his post script Gervais notes that there is at least one Regiment at Folly Island. <br /> <br /> The Union may have been sending these vessels to support the effort of their South Atlantic Blockading Squadron as nearby Charleston Harbor was one of the only remaining ports that remained open at this time. It was during the summer of 1863 when the Union staged a successful seige of the port in the Second Battle of Charleston Harbor.<br /> <br /> The second document is an unsigned copy of a report presumably from John Jenkins from Johns Island December 1863 which lists the companies under Jenkins' command. Jenkins reports "five companies effective total 272 Mounted Riflemen." unknown

[Civil War Connecticut Desertions] Winter, Charles H
Manuscript Resignation and Transmission of Orders from Charles H. Winter 2nd Lieutenant of the 11th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry Pertaining to the Desertions of Recently Enlisted Substitutes
Chapin's Farm Chaffin's Farm VA 1865. Very good light creasing closed tear along centerfold minor soiling and ink staining contents clean. 2 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 12.5 inches. Even before the secession of the southern states the people of Connecticut were divided regarding their views of the war effort. Throughout the military conflict the social and political tensions were consistently exacerbated by incongruous perspectives on abolition and emancipation.<br /> <br /> This document demonstrates how even in the final weeks of the war northern sympathy for the Confederacy remained prevalent. Dated March 11th 1865 Charles H. Winter tenders his resignation as 2nd Lieutenant of the 11th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry due to the increased instances of desertions by substitutes. He tells the Assistant Adjutant General "The Regiment to which I belong is a Veteran organization and has until filled with Substitutes borne a reputation of which I felt proud It has lately been troubled with desertions of these Substitutes to the enemy from the Picket Line. I with the other officers have made every effort in my power to stop these desertions but without success these men joined the Regiment evidently with the intention to desert at the first available opportunity." Below Winter's explanation is the transmission of Special Order No. 201 issued by Colonel Edgar M. Cullen 1843-1922 of the 24th Army Corps March 9th 1865. Cullen's orders prohibit any of the men belonging to the 11th Regiment to leave the confines of the encampment the written permission from his Head Quarters.<br /> <br /> In his closing Winter places blame elsewhere noting that "these restrictions are placed upon us for a fault which clearly belongs to the authorities sending these Substitutes and for the character of whom I do not deem I can be held responsible." unknown

[Polk, James K; Mexican American War] Burns, S
ALS Politically Connected Young Man Parties with President Polk and Other Prominent Mexican American War Figures just after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
Charleston SC 1848. Very good tiny tears and light browning particularly around folds minor ink bleed through contents clean. 4 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 10.5 inches. A wonderful letter filled with descriptions and anecdotes of prominent military and political figures including Andrew Jackson. Dated Feb. 28th 1848 just as the Mexican American War was concluding the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo occurred less than four weeks before this letter was written and Polk's message to Congress concerning the Treaty a scant six days prior. Burns tells his cousin Anson of his visit to Washington D.C. to attend the celebrations hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Clifford Nathan Clifford was Attorney General. Burns was introduced to President Polk and presented the respects of his uncle Dr. Burns to which Polk replied "'Are you a relative of Dr. Burns I am glad to see you' and 'How is the doctor I have a great regard for him. I always know where to find him. We fought shoulder to shoulder through a stormy campaign. The Doctor was one of my finest friends - he never flinched. But how happens it that I did not see him at Concord last summer I expected to have met him'." <br /> <br /> Burns later attended a private ball at the home of Secretary of Treasury Robert J. Walker's where Burns admits he was "attaché to the Cabinet ladies". Here he met among other politicians and military figures General Sam Houston and Colonel May captor of La Vega who shared with Burns the comical circumstances that led to his appointment as Captain by Andrew Jackson. May tells Burns that "he had waiting long at Washington as an unsuccessful applicant for a commission until in a fit of desperation he mounted his horse & knowing himself one of the boldest riders in the County galloped to the White House rode up to the door & demanded to see the President. The servant asked him to walk in but he declines insisting that he must see his excellency at the Doors. At a summons so unusual the President hurried down and asked what he wanted. I wish you to see me ride said he. With that he vaulted into the saddle leaped over the iron picket enclosure backward & forward dome half dozen times and after curveting about the yard brought up in front of the palace rode up the steps & dismounted. Now says he General if you think me worthy of a Commission in the Cavalry & shall be most happy. I appoint you Captain on the spot said the old hero. Subsequent events show how well he deserved the station."<br /> <br /> Burns closes the letter with an excerpt of his farewell exchange with President Polk. "The morning before I left I called to bid goodbye to the Polks. He had just transmitted to the Senate his answer to their call for information relative to Mexican affairs. Says he "Mr. Burns What am I to do Here I am continually questioned not only as to fads but intentions motives & opinions. Now the information they want would be at this time highly injurious. Mexico knows too much already. Who is to be the judge" I told him I thought he certainly ought not to communicate information which he knew would prove injurious. "Certainly not" said he. He then referred to the publication of the correspondence of Mr. Reeves with his Government relative to French claims in which Mr. Reeves boasts what a good bargain he had made relative to French claims. The French Minister was present & the difficulty with France grew mainly out of this intention. To Mr. Johnson the new senator from Georgia he said "you have got just high enough. If you should happen to get into this place looking round the cabinet room you will not find yourself by any means in a quiet position. In fact Mr. Polk looked haggard and very much perplexed. But we shall soon have peace on that you may depend." unknown

Broadside Commonwealth of Massachusetts. General orders. Head-quarters Boston June 17th 1815. that His Excellency be advised to issue his order for the discharge of all the volunteer corps raised for the defence of the commonwealth.
Boston 1815. First edition. A very good copy old folds some minor marginal browning and soiling. 1 sheet 1 p. Folio. 35 x 21 cm. An important broadside noting the deficiencies of the volunteer militia. One of two states this with the fourth line in bold-type. Opens: Commonwealth of Massachusetts. General orders. Head-quarters Boston June 17th 1815. : On the 15th inst. the following order of Council was passed viz.: "In Council June 15th 1815.
