Slightly creased small scuff to head with small amount of loss otherwise quite bright and clean. "Thomas Grimston of Kilnwick and Grimston offered to raise a cavalry force in Holderness and he set about his task with characteristic thoroughness. He issued the articles of enrolment based on those of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry and then travelled round the Holderness villages explaining his plans to the farmers. The response was very poor and he followed up his visits with letters to the Clergy suggesting that parish meetings be called so that the importance and purpose of the proposed corps could be explained to all the parishioners. Once more the results were disappointing. A letter received from the Vicar of Sproatley partly explains why this was so. "The sentiments of the People here are not changed I apprehend since you conversed with them. What they object to is the smallness of the pay from which circumstances one may r think infer two things First they are aware of the Necessity of the Measure and Secondly in return for their Services they expect a valuable consideration adequate at least to the Profits arising from Labour". Several letters were written in similar tenus and some also pointed out that volunteers were unlikely to come forward during . First Edition. Unbound. Good. Elephant Folio. Broadside.

1868ref. 36564Washington D.C.: R.A. Waters Penn. Ave. cor. 13th Street 1868. Broadside 8" x 10". Printed document with illustration of American Eagle and Shield completed in ink manuscript with signature of Darden and Notary Public Kirby. Notary's blindstamp at bottom blank left corner. Two small pinholes at upper blank margin from prior mounting. Very Good. A presidential pardon was required in order for former Confederates to regain their citizenship and voting privileges. The Oath which Darden took in this Proclamation was a precondition to President Johnson's grant of a Pardon to him. Dennis Dawney Darden c.1833-1883 born in Washington D.C. enlisted in October 1863 as a Private in Co. B Mosby's Cavalry Regiment Partisan Rangers. Captured at Upperville Virginia on 14 October 1864 he was sent to Old Capitol Prison; transferred on 8 February 1865 to Fort Warren MA; and was one of about sixty Confederate prisoners released on 13 June 1865. He signed the Oath of Allegiance on the day of his release. John W. Munson a comrade of Darden's later credited Darden with helping Munson escape from Old Capitol Prison; Darden stayed behind. Munson's Memoir states that Darden had been "in the secret service department of the government" before the War. Census records show him as a druggist both before and after the War. Munson: Recollections of a Mosby Guerrilla 1906. In August 1871 Darden was accused of murdering gambling house operator John McCarthy. During a gambling-related altercation defense witnesses said McCarthy drew a derringer on Darden but that the gun misfired; McCarthy then hit Darden over the head. When officers arrived Darden was firing a gun at McCarthy and shot him dead. The New York Times reported that "the entire gambling fraternity here who bore bitter animosity to McCarthy have been very active in Darden's behalf and he has not lacked for either money or friends." Darden was acquitted; at trial's end a doctor declared Darden insane from McCarthy's beating. He was ordered to an insane asylum. Later he moved to Tennessee with his sisters. The Darden-McCarthy case exposed the police graft system and resulted in the removal of corrupt policemen.

1863ref. 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."

1797ref. 183961797. Fawcett William. Instructions and Regulations for the Formations and Movements of the Cavalry 1797 establishes the standardized system of cavalry drill and maneuver adopted by the British Army at the close of the eighteenth century forming part of the institutional reforms that shaped British military readiness during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Issued under War Office authority the manual codifies cavalry organization battlefield movement and command structure at a moment when the British Army was professionalizing its training systems following the disruptions of prolonged continental conflict. Fawcett serving as Adjutant-General and one of the most senior officers in the army directed reforms that imposed uniformity across regiments and this work documents the formal transmission of those standards into operational practice. Fawcett William. Instructions and Regulations for the Formations and Movements of the Cavalry. London: Printed for the War Office 1797. First edition. Octavo. 342 pages with 16 folding engraved plates. Original gray boards. The engraved plates illustrate cavalry formations movement sequences and positional alignments providing visual instruction to accompany the printed regulations. Textblock uncut. Produced during a period of sustained military engagement against Revolutionary France this manual aligns with broader War Office efforts to centralize command structure and standardize training across infantry and cavalry units contributing to the operational coherence later demonstrated in campaigns such as the Peninsular War. The work provides direct evidence of how doctrine was disseminated within the British Army offering material for the study of military pedagogy battlefield coordination and the administrative consolidation of state military power in the late eighteenth century. Upper cover detached spine chipped at head and tail with general wear consistent with use; textblock remains clean and uncut. Overall good to very good condition. unknown

1881ref. 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.

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.
