1863rif. 38792Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1863. 16mo. Self-cover. 8pp. Near fine. Binding traces at gutter not affecting text. This lengthy and fascinating General Order chronicles the Fort Snelling court martial trial of Captain James Starkey of the 1st Minnesota Mounted Rangers charged with "Making false muster" "Willingly signing muster rolls containing false musters" "Making false return to his superior officer of the state of his Company" and "Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." Each charge is elaborated in great detail. Starkey was found guilty of most of the charges and sentenced "To be cashiered and to be forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit under the Government of the United States" -- this latter sentence commuted by President Lincoln who always believed in giving someone a second chance. Signed in type at the conclusion by Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown

1862rif. 37905Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1862. Handbills. 12mo. Very good to near fine. One is 4-punched at left edge not affecting text.

Morse of the 7th Wisconsin Volunteers who resigned before the order dismissing him. General Orders No. 11 10 January 1863 1p dismissing Colonel R.C. Murphy of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers from the Army "for allowing his command to be surprised at Holly Springs Mississippi without having taken proper steps to protect his post or repulse the enemy and his troops having been found in bed at the time of attack." General Orders No. 211 15 June 1864 1p text of a Congressional resolution "tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red River by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown
rif. 22506Huntsville AL: Head Quarters Dept. and Army of the Tenn. 1864 January 16. Handbill. 16mo 4 3/4" X 6 3/4". Near fine. Congressional resolution sent to Brigadier General Grenville M. Dodge by order of William T. Sherman: ".bounties heretofore paid. to re-enlist in the Regular or Volunteer service. for three years or during the war shall continue to be paid from the Fifth day of Jannary sic 1864 until the First day of March next." Signed in type at the conclusion by R.M. Sawyer as Assistant Adjutant General. Clean and nice. Rather crudely printed possibly on a portable field press. Presumably this late in the war there was some unease among re-enlisting soldiers that they would get paid. unknown
rif. 24814Washington DC: War Department 1863 January 29. 16mo. 2pp single leaf. Handbill. Very good. Binding traces down left edge. Mourning border. Announcement of the death of Colonel John James Abert 1788-1863 chief topographical engineer and head of the Topographical Bureau. A long-time career officer Abert headed this bureau from 1834 until his 1861 retirement. "The Army and the country will not need to be reminded of the vast interest and value attached to the operations of this corps since its organization" Thomas reminds the reader. "The geographical and other information concerning this continent which its officers have collected and published has challenged the admiration of the scientific world." Signed in type at the conclusion by Adjutant General Thomas. unknown
rif. 22504Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1862 November 15. Handbill. 2pp. 12mo 5" X 7¼". Near fine. Bit of age toning. Intriguing General Court Martial case in which Private John Kessler 103rd Regiment of New York Volunteers is charged with murdering First Lieutenant Fernando Linzy -- that he "did stab with a bayonet. inflicting a wound in the body of the said Lieutenant. which caused his death." Pleaded "Not Guilty" and found "Guilty" Kessler was sentenced to "be hanged by the neck until he be dead." In this case President Lincoln approved the sentence. Signed in type at the conclusion by E.D. Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. Clean and attractive. unknown
rif. 22502Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1863 May 13. Handbill. 16mo 4½" X 6 3/4". Very good. Slight bit of age toning. Announces that "Major General J.M.

rif. 24911Washington DC: War Department 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn with two file holes at left not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34" being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey 1825-67 was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event. unknown

rif. 22505Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1863 January 9. Handbill. 16mo 4 3/4" X 7". Very good. Binding traces along left edge; bit of age toning.

rif. 24815Washington DC: War Department 1864 November 14. 16mo. Handbill. Very good. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text. Townsend announces the resignation of Major General George B. McClellan on November 8 -- though not stated just after losing the presidential race to Lincoln -- and the appointment of Philip H. Sheridan as Major General: "That for the personal gallantry military skill and just confidence in the courage and patriotism of his troops. on the 19th day of October at Cedar Run whereby. his routed army was reorganized a great national disaster averted and a brilliant victory achieved over the rebels for the third time in pitched battle within thirty days." The acceptance of McClellan's resignation without comment or praise over a job well done speaks volumes about the much-disliked commander's lackluster performance. unknown
rif. 22503Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1864 February 26. Handbill. 12mo 5" X 7¼". Very good. Several punch holes along left margin not affecting text; bit of age toning.

Signed in type at the conclusion by E.D. Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. Clean and nice. unknown
rif. 23858Washington: War Department 1864 October 1. Handbill. 12mo. Very good. File holes at left edge not affecting text. "Regulations in respect to the distribution of election tickets and proxies in the Army" which spells out the rules and regulations for soldiers to vote in absentia -- including the warning: "Any officer or private who may wantonly destroy tickets or prevent their proper distribution among legal voters interfere with the freedom of election or make any false or fraudulent return will be deemed guilty of an offense against good order and military discipline."

1864rif. 24837Washington DC: War Department 1864. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text. Titled "Exchange of Prisoners of War" this General Order consists of Townsend's report of a prisoner exchange arranged between Generals William T. Sherman and John Bell Hood that took place in Rough and Ready Georgia on September 19 22 28 and 30 1864. "United States prisoners received -- 146 commissioned officers. 212 non-commissioned officers. 770 privates. In all equivalent to 2047 privates. Confederate prisoners received -- 128 commissioned officers. 225 non-commissioned officers. 979 privates. In all equivalent to 2045 privates." How these numbers add up to 2047 and 2045 privates is beyond us -- must be the Old Math. Accompanied by a fine modern circa 1960 glossy 8" X 10" photograph a superbly done reprint of the well-known head-and-shoulders portrait of John Bell Hood in Confederate uniform. Verso bears red inkstamped "From the / Abraham Lincoln Book Shop / Collection." A superb pair. War Department unknown
rif. 24912Washington DC: War Department 1864 December 2. 12mo. Handbill. Very good. Four-punched at left edge not affecting text. Townsend announces the Secretary of War's appointment of Major General Grenville M. Dodge "to the command of the Department of Missouri" and of Major General William S.

Bold attractive General Order in which Lincoln's Secretary of State announces that "The President directs that. no traveler shall be allowed to enter the United States from a foreign country without a passport. This regulation is intended to apply especially to persons proposing to come to the United States from the neighboring British provinces." Signed at the conclusion in type by Seward and also by Assistant Adjutant General E.D. Townsend. Likely this directive was issued to help curb any influx of Confederate sympathizers or supporters from the United Kingdom. Accompanied by a nice Civil War-era 5" X 7" heavy stock steel-engraved head-and-shoulders portrait of Seward. Very good. Adjutant General's Office, War Department unknown
