WESLEY Samuel 1766 1837
A Voluntary for the Organ
London: William Prowse Royal Musical Repository 456 1865. Folio. 1f. recto title verso blank 5 i blank pp. Engraved.<br/><br/>Slightly browned. Re-issue of the first edition originally published 1828 by Willis. KO 623 p. 647. <br/><br/>"Given Wesley's fame as a keyboard player it is not surprising that keyboard music should form an important part of his output and the largest category of his music published in his lifetime. Despite a good deal of recent publishing activity however only a small proportion of his keyboard music is available in modern editions. In the organ music Wesley's grand manner is heard at its best in the op.6 voluntaries while a more intimate and miniaturist side to his musical character is apparent in the Twelve Short Pieces." Philip Olleson in Grove Music Online. William Prowse [Royal Musical Repository 456] unknown books

Autobiography of one of the most famous Texas outlaws. In the first issue a woodcut of Hardin's brother Joe appears on page three misidentified as John Wesley Hardin; in later issues a full-page portrait of Hardin has been inserted in its place. While some question the authenticity of this narrative as autobiography Adams notes that Hardin was not an illiterate gun slinger: "Hardin was not as illiterate as many believed; he taught frontier school as a young man and his study of the law while he was in prison no doubt improved his education."

Eckles John Wesley
3-page autograph letter signed from J. W. Eckles of Houston Texas to Major J. R. Lofland concerning a suit against him and the troops at Galveston
Houston TX 1866. 4to 3 pages on integral leaves; approx. 9.75" x 7.75" legibly written with full typescript transcription provided some staining without affecting legibility minor insect damage on edges very good. Includes stamped cover with a Houston postmark. An interesting letter from the early Reconstruction period in the Southwest. J. W. Eckles John Wesley Eckles: 1839-1891 was born in Delaware. At the time of this letter he was a 1st Lieutenant serving in Houston a few months after a proclamation of peace with Texas was issued by President Andrew Johnson in August of 1866. He appears to have remained in Texas thereafter as a rancher until he was shot in a neighborhood dispute. Eckles writes to Major Lofland: "I am truly glad to know you came out number one in your late collision with Col. Mason. Although I never felt any doubt about the matter. I would think the Snub he got from Gen'l Sheridan with charges returned would put him out of the nature of preferring charges against anybody else particularly the Pay Dept. He told Maj. Lathrop that he never forwarded the charges I showed Lathrop a copy of Gen'l S's letter returning them you ought to have seen him laugh." General Philip Sheridan was appointed to supervise federal Reconstruction 1865-77 efforts in Louisiana and Texas; he rapidly earned a reputation as a harsh leader. The reference to "Col. Mason" probably refers to Bvt. Lieut. Col. Julius Wilmot Mason 1835-1882 from Pennsylvania. He participated in the 1863 Battle of Brandy Station where he earned a brevet to major for gallant and meritorious services. Mason served with Grant until August 12 1866 and commanded General Grant's escort until he was inaugurated as President in January of 1868. Mason then served in the same position for Gen. William T. Sherman until March 31 1870 when he was transferred to frontier service. We do not know exactly what the "charges" or the "late collision" with Major Lofland were that Col. Mason brought since they were returned by Sheridan but since they concerned the pay department they might have been related to issues involving the dispensing of soldier pay. Major James Rush Lofland was the recipient of this letter in New Orleans where he was engaged until 1867 in paying off the troops of Mississippi Louisiana and Texas. Lofland 1823-1894 was a Delaware College graduate and a lawyer. Eckles also refers to "about 1000 troops here arrived in Galveston during the last week. Gen'l Heinzleman has made his HdQtrs at Galveston & assumed command of this district . My opinion of the majority of those fellows at Galveston is.that it requires nine of them to make a man. They are all very honorable gentlemen & the d-l for taking up each others' quarrels." He recounts an attempt of "two youngsters" to waylay Lofland at a wharf over a perceived slight that was thwarted by cowardice. <br/><br/> unknown books

Rogers a poem entitled Loguen's Position also by Rogers and two letters between J.W. and Sarah Logue the wife of his former master written in 1860: upon hearing of his book's publication Sarah demands financial compensation in exchange for "giving up all claim I have on you." His reply is quite a dignified one rebuking her for her outrageous demand and describing his new life "among a free people who I thank God sympathize with my rights and the rights of mankind." Loguen was an abolitionist and bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. He escaped slavery pursued higher education and opened several schools in central New York State. His Syracuse home was a stop on the Underground Railroad and the assistance he gave to other fugitive slaves is well-documented including a letter published in one of Frederick Douglass's papers.
