1885Best.-Nr. 233835Charles L. Webster & Co. 1885. First Edition. Hardcover. Poor. Yes it is the scarcest of the first editions. But I see only one or two online offerings of this work in worse condition than this one. The leather is heavily scuffed hinges are cracked although the bindings are still relatively firm the front gutter of Vol. II is split and the cloth is dampstained across the upper 10% to 20% of the covers and is separating from all four boards. The water damage affects the text blocks to a varying degree. On most pages it extends only an inch or so from the top. In a few cases including one of the plates the damage is to most of the page. Perhaps the only bright spot is that both of the fold-outs are intact and undamaged. Charles L. Webster & Co. hardcover

1870Best.-Nr. 3292608/01/1870. John Quincy Adams first enlisted in 1862 with the 38th Ohio Volunteers. On October 15 of that year he was a quartermaster sergeant with the 10th Ohio Cavalry reporting to Cairo Ill. for Instruction on February 23 1863. After a stint as acting lieutenant on July 15 1864 he was appointed by the President Second Lieutenant to date from March 3 1863. Adams was actively involved in the Georgia campaign conducted by Gen. William T. Sherman. He was with left wing of the 16th Army Corps on the march to Chattanooga Tenn. In the Atlanta Campaign he participated in the battles of Resaca Dallas Kennesaw Mountain. and Jonesboro. He manned signal corps stations at Kennesaw Mt. and Allatoona. Adams was on the ""the March to the Sea"" with Sherman’s forces. He was in the engagements at Port McAllister and Rice Mill station in the campaign from Savannah through the Carolinas including battles at Columbia Bentonville and Raleigh; and at the surrender of Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to Sherman on April 26 1865. Adams was breveted 1st lieutenant for gallant and meritorious service in the Signal Corps at the battle of Allatoona; he was breveted captain for gallant and meritorious services in the Signal Corps at the capture of Fort McAllister and Savannah and throughout the war. Adams was mustered out August 22 1865. After the war he was in the 1st U. S. Cavalry and was in the Indian wars and finished his career as captain and aide to Gen. O.O. Howard in October 1884. He is listed on the roster of the U.S. Signal Corps in the Civil War. This is President Ulysses S. Grant’s appointment of Adams as First Lieutenant in the 1st U. S. Cavalry. Document signed Washington January 8 1870 naming Adams “First Lieutenant in the First Regiment of Cavalry” to rank as such from the fourteenth of September 1869. The document is countersigned by William Belknap as Secretary of War. In 1866 the 1st Cavalry Division was sent west to California and other western states and it served during the Indian Wars in the west. In June 1884 while Adams was still serving with the regiment it was transferred to the Department of Dakota. In their new assignment the troops were assigned to various forts which had been established during the Indian wars to subjugate the Sioux Cheyenne Crow and other Native Americans. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown
1869Best.-Nr. 3251406/04/1869. The Dakota Territory was created by an Act of Congress on March 2 1861. Boundaries of the Dakota Territory changed on a number of occasions. Originally the territory comprised an area that included the present states of North Dakota South Dakota and much of Montana and Wyoming. From 1863 to 1864 the area of the territory was limited to the present day Dakotas. The territory included most of the present state of Wyoming and the Dakotas from 1864 to 1868. And from 1868 to 1889 the territory comprised the present states of North Dakota and South Dakota. The territorial capital was established in Yankton in 1861 and later removed to Bismarck in 1883. When the final extent of the reduced territory was split and admitted to the Union as the states of North and South Dakota the Supreme Court of the Dakotas was abolished by operation of law and its function was taken over by the North Dakota Supreme Court and the South Dakota Supreme Court. Document signed Washington April 6 1869 appointing George W. French subject to the advice and consent of the Senate to be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Dakota. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown
1880Best.-Nr. 104971880. Middlesex Club. Complimentary Dinner to Gen. U.S. Grant 1880 records a Boston Republican gathering honoring Ulysses S. Grant four months after his unsuccessful attempt to secure the Republican presidential nomination for an unprecedented third term. Grant had returned to the United States in December 1879 after more than two years of international travel and entered the 1880 Republican convention as a leading candidate. He received 304 votes on the first ballot and remained near that total through thirty six ballots before James A. Garfield emerged as the nominee receiving 399 votes on the final ballot. The October dinner therefore belongs to the closing weeks of the 1880 presidential campaign rather than to Grant's nomination effort itself. Complimentary Dinner to Gen. U.S. Grant by the Middlesex Club at the Brunswick Boston Oct. 13 1880. Middlesex Club. Boston 1880. 11 x 17 inches. Printed seating chart identifying the dinner attendees and assigning their positions at the tables preserving the names and physical arrangement of participants at the event. Rather than simply announcing the dinner the chart records the composition of a political gathering organized around the former president during a presidential election in which Grant's continued standing within the Republican Party remained conspicuous despite his defeat at the national convention. Held less than three weeks before the November 2 presidential election the dinner documents Grant's public prominence during the campaign that elected Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. The named seating assignments permit study of the individuals gathered around Grant in Boston and may support further investigation of Republican political networks in Massachusetts during the 1880 election. Excellent condition. A substantive piece of Grant and Republican Party ephemera that preserves the personnel and seating organization of a precisely dated political dinner. unknown
