1863réf. 58198Virginia; various places including City Point 1863-1865. Fine original condition. 8vo. With a brief signed note describing the finding of these letters on a farm near Albany New York. Two letters from Charles Seaver to his sister describe a night-time call to arms arrival on the Rapidan coming under battery fire and forcing the enemy infantry across the river; hoping to relocate to Washington rather than South Carolina; effecting the surrender of "five Rebble sentenals" and the destruction of a railroad bridge by axe and fire. To his mother from City Point he writes of religion; of money due him and how to collect it in case he is killed; and a temporarily successful Rebel capture of 2500 cattle. Merrill Flint writes to his sister on April 6th 1865 from Virginia about walking the streets of Petersburg "it looks very rough"; and not expecting to see Richmond for some time "for we are following Old Lee as fast as the Army can march.the Confederate Army is on its last pins." With one original addressed envelope. unknown

1881réf. 000073USA. Good. 1881. Original Cloth. Three curious diaries/logs/journals of Peter H. Grisham mustered out a Corporal of the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry. Peter tends to write front to back and then change back to front in these 'pocketbook' type journal. Peter meanders making observations jotting memories detailing genealogical histories; Mrs. Mary Bevins his sister some famed people he knew through his father and notes the history of the family's steel works is in the snippets to follow. "July 10th 1883. My duties have been arduous have neglected to keep up any diary regularly. I went to Arkansas - last May was a year - via Baltimore Harrisburg Pittsburg Chicago St. Louis by RRs and by Steamer too Memphis by RR to Little Rock Geary Ark. to my sister Mrs. Mary Blevins near Pangburn White Co. Ark" "July 22nd 1883 - Wrote letter to J. Lundy Brotherton Phila. in reply to his in regard to Benj Lundy and Elihu and Elijah Embree who printed published the 1st Emancipation newspaper in the US States some 50 years ago.took me to clerk at his great ironworks in 1838.I stayed at his house as a clerk near six years and was present when he died." "About six years ago Bridget an Irish girl that sews for them that G. Eaton was paymaster general under Genl Scott killed himself before this: he ran away with the granddght of his 1st wife. Col. Clark.knows of it." July 29th 1883 Alexandria Va. This ancient city is still inhabited by many of the old Virginia Aristocracy who own the best of the property. The city was mostly of the tory sort I believe in the days of Washington - who attended Church here in the same building I did today.That it sympathised with England and the King may be inferred from the names of the streets - King St. Queen St. Prince.It was also a strong rebel city during the late war sending about a thousand soldiers into the rebel army under Genl R.E. Lee who lived a few miles above opposite the city of Washington. The pocketbook has a page or two missing one hinge is loose is written in pencil blue crayon and pen. A number of pages are financial - stock holdings monies loaned and repaid. Some more legible than others especially the log parts where he has crossed out information that was no longer relelvant. 50pp. Diary for 1881 also a pocketbook style tells the long tale of the death of Catherine M. Melville and other historically relevant events for Washington City DC as he writes. 20pp.Diary for 1890 is for the most part very much like the others.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA Genealogy Tennessee Washington Dc Alexandria Virginia Americana Civil War . hardcover
