Civil War Diary Transcript

1897réf. 2411Tennessee; Kentucky 1897. Very good -. 91 11" x 8½" photocopied leaves typescript rectos only about 30000 words bound in three-hole vinyl folder. Folder very good minus with light edge wear and scuffing; remnant of penciled price to cover sheet else internally fresh with a few handwritten amendments. This is a rare and thrilling firsthand account of a soldier's experience in the Civil War transcribed by his sister's husband 30 years later from the "original copy removed from drowned body of Thomas Banta." Per the present cover page Abraham Thomas Banta was born in 1839 and "quit Bloomington University in Indiana to go to War." He died there in July 1863 "four months short of his twenty-fourth birthday." Banta's diary begins at Camp Zion Tennessee in January 1863 and soon sets the tone of his spirit: "God forbid that this war should continue any longer for it is the most degrading and demoralizing thing upon the people that ever disgraced God Almighty's green earth." Entries cover the weather general morale "portion of our boys on a high" tasks like horseshoeing guard duty and orders: "On drill as usual . . . We were ordered out here to hold the Yanks in check as they made Duke's regiment skedaddle and killed Col. Hutchison. The saddles are on our horses. The men are stretched around asleep; neither men nor horses have had anything to eat since morning . . . We may have to mount our horses at any moment." Detailed text describes the scenery camp life "one of the most irksome and burdensome yet one of the most lazy lives that mankind was ever subjected to" pickets payrolls and Banta's views on military strategy. We see his troop through Frankfort and Lexington Versailles Harrodsburg Knoxville and the capture of Elizabethtown "and several hundred prisoners." He laments the "demoralization and devastation" of "bright and intelligent youths" as well as the "cruel" effects of war on women and "the negro" - "Horrible is war in every respect!" The account goes until late June noting the perils of river crossing and terrible rain "very hard on soldiers in camp without tents." Banta perished soon thereafter. A thorough fascinating Civil War diary and incredible survival. No record was found of this account in OCLC or online. unknown books

It was based on contemporary charts and maps and contained a collection of plates engraved by Frans Hagenberg in a uniform size and format. The Theatrum preceded the first atlas of Ortelius' good friend Gerardus Mercator. In fact popular sentimental legend has it that Mercator delayed publication of his own work so that his younger friend's would appear first. Although this simply isn't true Mercator wasn't ready the legendary cartographer did complement Ortelius for the "care and elegance" he had put into the Theatrum. unknown books

1864 Campaign Blames McClellan’s Failures on Lincoln Comparing the President’s Treatment of McClellan and Grant

1864réf. 24901.02"with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union." This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet quotes an April 1864 letter to argue that Lincoln gave Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant free rein to conduct the war after having interfered with and micromanaged McClellan's Peninsula Campaign in 1862. The publication also declared that Republicans were stained with "The Taint of Disunion" and quoted from Republican speeches and editorials to insist that the Democrats were the party of "UNION AND PEACE." ABRAHAM LINCOLN.Printed Document. Democrat Campaign "Document No. 12" with headings "Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. Grant" "Mr. Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. McClellan" and "The Taint of Disunion." New York 1864. 8 pp. 5¾ x 8â… in. Excerpts: Lincoln to Grant April 30 1864 "I wish to express in this way my entire satisfaction with what you have done up to this time so far as I understand it. The particulars of your plans I neither know nor seek to know. You are vigilant and self-reliant; and pleased with this I wish not to obtrude any restrains or constraints upon you while I am very anxious that any real disaster or capture of our men in great numbers be avoided." p1/c1 "Such in brief are some of the most notable instances in which Mr. Lincoln interfered with General McClellan when he occupied a position similar to that held by General Grant. They reflect so severely upon the President that no attempt to gloss them over by his apparent subsequent repentance can disabuse the patriotic portion of the nation of the matured conviction that he is to be held responsible for the lack of decisive victories in Eastern Virginia. The blame must and will rest upon him to whom it belongs." p5/c2 "Having shown by copious extracts from the speeches of Abraham Lincoln W. H. Seward Wendell Phillips Wm. Lloyd Garrison and from the editorial writings of the Chicago Tribune and the N. Y. Tribune… that they were all original secessionists and disunion men we propose now to give the evidence that Mr. Lincoln himself has within the last three months been concerned in a movement to make peace with Jeff. Davis on terms involving the direct proposal to divide the Union and let the South go." p7/c2-p8/c1 "with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Mark how Mr. Lincoln constantly keeps up the idea of negotiating only with Jefferson Davis. Why does he never address himself to the people or the States of the South. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union." p8/c2 Historical Background The 1864 presidential election pitted President Lincoln against his Democratic challenger General George B. McClellan. Although McClellan had been the commander of the Army of the Potomac and general-in-chief of the Union Army the Peace platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago declared the war a failure. The party was bitterly divided between War Democrats who favored continuing the war to restore the Union while leaving slavery alone; moderate Peace Democrats who favored an armistice and a negotiated peace that would likely protect slavery in a reconstructed union and radical Peace Democrats who favored an immediate end to the war without securing Union victory. McClellan was a War Democrat but the platform was written by radical Peace Democrat Clement Vallandigham and Peace Democrat George H. Pendleton was nominated for vice president. In 1864 Republicans created the National Union Party to attract War Democrats Unconditional Unionists and Unionist Party members who would not vote for the Republican Party though most state Republican parties did not change their name. President Abraham Lincoln won the nomination of the "National Union Party" at its Baltimore convention and won re-election with new running mate War Democrat Andrew Johnson. Although Lincoln was convinced by August 1864 that he would not be reelected General William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta in early September and General Philip Sheridan's successes in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from August to October ensured his victory. Without the participation of the seceded states Lincoln and Johnson won 55 percent of the popular vote and an overwhelming 212-to-21 victory in the Electoral College. McClellan and Pendleton carried only Kentucky Delaware and McClellan's home state of New Jersey. books

Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels."

Civil War Political History Morgan County Ohio Union Ticket for Lincoln and Johnson in the 1864 Presidential Election

1864réf. 156621864. Lincoln Abraham Union Presidential Ticket November 8 1864 documents Civil War electoral mobilization through a printed county ballot listing national state and local Union candidates during the only United States presidential election held while the nation was actively at war with itself. The ticket records the Union Party electoral system through its Lincoln and Johnson presidential slate state electors and Morgan County candidates revealing how wartime party organization operated in practice by connecting national reelection politics to local printed voting materials. Lincoln defeated George B. McClellan in the 1864 election by 212 electoral votes to 21 and the National Union coalition joined Republicans with War Democrats in support of continuing the war and restoring the Union. Union Presidential Ticket. Morgan County Ohio: Union Party November 8 1864. Broadside-style printed election ticket approximately 3 by 7 inches. The ticket lists Abraham Lincoln for President and Andrew Johnson for Vice President together with state electors and local candidates showing the practical mechanics of nineteenth-century party voting before standardized government-printed ballots. A patriotic vignette depicts Columbia holding a sword labeled "Union" linking the act of voting to national preservation military sacrifice and loyalty to the federal cause. The election followed the Union capture of Atlanta in September 1864 a military success that strengthened Lincoln's political position after months of uncertainty about his reelection prospects. The ticket's timing gives it particular force: Lincoln's reelection made him the first president since Andrew Jackson to win a second term and he was assassinated on April 14 1865 dying the following morning less than two months after beginning that term. As a county-level ballot from Ohio the piece provides primary-source evidence for the study of Civil War political culture Union campaign symbolism local election administration and the wartime coalition that paired Lincoln with Tennessee War Democrat Andrew Johnson. Two light vertical folds not noted; no tears or losses described; overall excellent. A compact but unusually direct artifact of the 1864 Union electoral system linking Lincoln's national reelection campaign to the printed voting practices of a specific Ohio county. unknown books

Abraham Lincoln Life Mask after Clark Mills' Original 1865 Cast

1861réf. 126721861. Mills Clark. Abraham Lincoln life mask originally taken in February 1865 two months before the president's death. Mills' was the second and last life mask taken of Lincoln preserving his features directly from life rather than through later artistic interpretation. The cast is often compared to Leonard Volk's cast taken in 1860 shortly after Lincoln secured the Republican nomination and is a remarkable record of the toll the presidency and Civil War took on Lincoln physically. John Hay secretary to the president once noted that Volk cast shows "a man of fifty-one and young for his years. . . . full of life of energy of vivid aspiration. . . . .Mills' cast is so sad and peaceful in its infinite repose . . . . a look as of one on whom sorrow and care had done their worst without victory is on all the features." The Mills cast captured Lincoln's entire skull unlike the Volk which shows only the face. After Clark Mills. Abraham Lincoln life mask cast from the original 1865 mold. Plaster mask showing Lincoln's face from the forehead to below the chin with closed eyes lean cheeks pronounced cheekbones deep-set eyes narrow mouth and beard visible along the jawline. The casting emphasizes the elongated structure of Lincoln's face and preserves the asymmetry and modeling that gave later sculptors a direct reference for portrait accuracy. Mills was a New York born sculpter who developed his own method of creating plaster masks for portrait busts in the 1840s. His works include the equestrian statues of Andrew Jackson and George Washington which now reside in Washington D.C.'s Lafayette Square and Washington Circle respectively as well as the Statue of Freedom which sits atop the United States Capitol dome and over 100 portrait busts of Native American prisoners and Black students at the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School now Hampton University. This original 1865 life mask became an essential source for later Lincoln portraits and sculptures especially after 1865 when artists and monument makers sought models for Lincoln memorials. The pieces has a unique documentary value distinct from painted or engraved likenesses often filtered through personal interpretation. Minor surface wear consistent with age; overall very good condition. Life masks are created in negative molds casts therein are created in relief "after" the original. It is unclear at when this particular cast was taken. unknown books

1707réf. 49257Frankfurt and Leipzig: The Heirs of Johann Grosse 1707. First edition. Paperback. Good. Two parts small quarto. :4 A-2G4 = 124 leaves. 8 230 10pp. Title in red and black. Lettrines and woodcut ornaments. Contemporary wrappers chipped at extemities; upper cover detached. Text moderately embrowned with some mostly marginal foxing. A good uncut copy. First edition. With a wonderful allegorical title in both Hebrew and Latin: "The daughter serves as midwife to the mother." Johann Abraham Kromayer 1665-1733 views the Arabic language as the "daughter" believed to be more recent who helps to extract meaning from the "mother" the earlier Hebrew of the Scriptures. Kromayer here labors somewhat in the shadow of his contemporary the Dutch orientalist Albert Schultens a great pioneer of such comparative studies in the Semitic tongues especially Arabic in the interest of biblical exegesis.
