1864rif. 376854Np 1864. Broadside 9-3/4x8-3/4 inches. Remnants of prior mounting on verso small separation at horizontal fold repaired with tape. Broadside 9-3/4x8-3/4 inches. Rare broadside or handbill printing of the famous telegram sent by Abraham Lincoln to General George B. McClellan early in the Civil War expressing his frustration at McClellan's unwillingness to engage the enemy during the Peninsular Campaign and urging him in no uncertain terms to attack the Confederates. Lincoln uses a combination of reason force assessment and strategic reasoning in an attempt to draw McClellan into the fight famously concluding "you must act." This small broadside was published either in an effort to galvanize the public into pressuring the always reluctant McClellan to engage Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johnston or perhaps as a campaign piece for the Election of 1864 to remind voters of McClellan's failures as a leader. Six months following its stinging defeat at the Battle of Bull Run the Union Army was reorganized trained and reformed into the Army of the Potomac by Major General George B. McClellan. After four months of training and reorganization however McClellan had done little more with his troops than run drills and reviews. In December 1861 President Lincoln took matters into his own hands and proposed the Peninsular Campaign March 1862 - July 1862 against Johnston's Confederate forces in which the Army of the Potomac would use a flanking attack in the nearby Occoquan Valley to capture Johnston and his army. McClellan rejected Lincoln's plan in favor of his own which consisted of a flanking movement much further south without leaving enough troops behind to protect Washington. Although Lincoln eventually acceded to McClellan's plan he held back the First Corps of the Army of the Potomac under the command of General McDowell for the protection of Washington. McClellan's plans were thwarted by Johnston who had in the interim moved the Confederate forces further south causing McClellan to march his men all the way to Yorktown deep in the Virginia peninsula. Instead of mounting a direct attack against the 17000 Confederates near Yorktown with his massive contingent of 70000 Union soldiers McClellan always overestimating Confederate forces and always fearful of failure took the safer route and laid siege to Yorktown which allowed Johnston to move his whole army down to Yorktown in opposition. In an April 7th telegram to Lincoln McClellan firm in his belief that he was always outnumbered by the Confederate forces complained that Lincoln held back too many troops for the protection of Washington which hamstrung his efforts for a successful campaign. In the present telegram to McClellan composed on April 9 Lincoln patiently responds: "Your dispatches complaining that you are not properly sustained while they do not offend me pain me very much." Lincoln continues "After you left to begin the Peninsular Campaign I ascertained that less than 20000 unorganized men without a field battery were all you designed should be left for the defense of Washington.This presented or would present.a great temptation for the enemy to turn back from the Rappahannock and sack Washington.My explicit directions that Washington sustained by the judgment of all the commanders of corps should be left secure had been entirely neglected. It was precisely this that drove me to detain McDowell." Lincoln refutes McClellan's belief that he did not have enough troops by using McClellan's own troop estimates obtained from the Secretary of War to argue McClellan into action stating that when "the whole force which has gone forward to you is with you.I think it is the precise time for you to strike a blow." Lincoln patiently tries to convince McClellan of the consequences of his inaction: "the enemy will readily gain on you; that is he will gain faster by fortifications and re-enforecments than you can by re-enforcements alone" and forcefully concludes "And once more let me tell you it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow." Lincoln then shows his brilliance as a judge of character addressing McClellan's fear of failure by holding up the public consequences of his inaction: "The country will not fail to note - is now noting - that the present hesitation to move upon an intrenched sic enemy is but the story of Manassas repeated." Then knowing by experience of McClellan's personal defensiveness Lincoln concludes in the words of Lincoln biographers John G. Nicolay and John M. Hay "with as much consideration and kindness as a father would use towards a querulous and petulant child." He ends his telegram writing "I beg to assure you that I have never written you or spoken to you in greater kindness of feeling than now nor with a fuller purpose to sustain you so far as in my most anxious judgment I consistently can. But you must act." Ultimately the Peninsular Campaign failed and the Army of the Potomac withdrew from the Virginia Peninsula in July 1862. By November of 1862 Lincoln frustrated with McClellan's lack of initiative on the field finally removed him from command and replaced him with General Ambrose Burnside as commander of the Army of the Potomac. Lincoln would later encounter McClellan as his Democratic adversary in the Presidential election of 1864 easily defeating him.

Stitched self-wrappers toning. First edition Monaghan's first issue. 1 2-15 1pp. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on verso of the terminal leaf. 8vo. This address made at the Cooper Institute in New York on February 27 1860 catapulted Lincoln into the public eye and made him a viable presidential candidate. Indeed many historians have considered it the key to his success in the 1860 election and it is probably the most important speech Lincoln made after the Gettysburg Address and his inaugural addresses. The Cooper Union address was months in preparation; Lincoln was fully aware of its importance in moving himself from a regional favorite son to a viable national candidate. In the event some 1500 people including many prominent political figures attended on a snowy new York evening. The speech divides into three major parts. In the first Lincoln addressed the spread of slavery arguing that the framers of the constitution had been opposed to it and that the Federal government could regulate the question. In the second he argued that the Republicans were not a sectional Northern party and attacked the threats of southern Democrats to secede if the Republicans should win the election. Finally he addressed his fellow Republicans calling on them to act carefully and do "nothing through passion and ill temper.Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it." The Cooper Union speech was a resounding success. Horace Greeley described it as "one of the happiest and most convincing political arguments ever made in this City. No man ever made such an impression on his first appeal to a New York audience." Greeley quickly issued the speech in the form of this "Tribune Tract." It includes a final page of advertisements for other Tribune publications. The speech was later widely reprinted and made Lincoln nationally famous. This printing differs from other editions by its inclusion of a speech by James Doolittle Senator from Wisconsin and the message of Samuel Medary Democratic governor of the Kansas Territory vetoing the Kansas abolition bill. "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion" Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President. Monaghan 50 Office of the New York Tribune unknown books

1865rif. 376410Montauk Montauk Navy Yard Wash D.C. 1865. 4 pp. 8vo. Slight soiling and minor tears along old folds otherwise in very good condition. 4 pp. 8vo. ".About 10:25 P.M. a man came in and walked slowly along the side." A remarkably clear and dramatic eyewitness account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln from a naval surgeon who was close to the President's box at Ford's theater on that fateful night of April 14 1865. In this letter to his brother written the night after the assassination while the details were still fresh in his memory Dr. George B. Todd surgeon aboard the U.S. "Montauk" at anchor in the Navy Yard that day recounts the terrible event with a clarity of observation one might expect of his profession-a rarity among confused eyewitness accounts. The text of Todd's letter one of only 7 eyewitness accounts written within 24 hours of the assassination reads: "The few hours that have intervened since that most terrible tragedy of last night have served to give me a little clearer brain and I believe I am now able to give you a clear account up to this hour. Yesterday about 3 P.M. the President and wife drove down to the navy yard and paid our ship a visit going all over her accompanied by us all. Both seemed very happy and so expressed themselves - glad that this war was over or so near its end and then drove back to the White House. In the evening nearly all of us went to the Ford's Theatre. I was very early and got a seat near the President's private box as we heard he was to be there. About half past nine he came in with his wife a Miss Harris and Major Rathburn and was cheered by every one. As soon as there was a silence the play went on and I could see that the "pres." seemed to enjoy it very much. About 10:25 P.M. a man came in and walked slowly along the side on which the 'pres.' box was and I heard a man say "there's Booth" and I turned my head to look at him. He was still walking very slow and was near the box door when he stopped took a card from his pocket wrote something on it and gave it to the usher who took it to the box. In a minute the door was opened and he walked in. No sooner had the door closed then I heard the report of a pistol and on the instant Booth jumped out of the box onto the stage holding in his hand a large knife and shouted so as to be heard all over the house - 'Sic Semper Tyrannis' "so always with tyrants" and fled behind the scenes-I attempted to get to the box but I could not and in an instant the cry was raised 'The President is Assassinated.' "Such a scene I never saw before. The cry spread to the street only to be met by another 'So is Mr. Seward.' Soldiers had gone. Some General handed me a note and bid me go to the nearest telegraph office and arouse the nation. I ran with all my speed and in ten minutes the sad news was all over the country. Today all the city is in mourning nearly every house being in black and I have not seen a smile. No business and many a strong man I have seen in tears. "Some reports say Booth is a prisoner others that he has made his escape but from orders received here I believe he is taken as a mob once raised now would know no end. I will not seal this until morning and I may have some more news. "April 24th. "I have had no time to write until now as I have been a detective. We have now 7 that are implicated. Why don't you write Love to all George" Several important facts regarding the movements of both the President and John Wilkes Booth are recorded here: 1 This appears to be the only eyewitness account of the President's inspection of the "Montauk" earlier that afternoon. 2 Todd's account of Booth's interaction with the "usher" sitting outside the President's box "took a card from his pocket wrote something on it and gave it to the usher" is especially intriguing and reveals not only something of Todd's powers of observations but also his proximity to the assassin immediately before the shooting. Todd alone among eyewitnesses notes that the "usher" first took the card from Booth then went into the box and that a short time later the door opened and Booth went in. In fact Good finds only 7 other eye-witness accounts of the Lincoln assassination as early as April 15-most of these witnesses record little or nothing regarding the events before hearing the shot itself and none of them noticed Booth's interchange with the usher who was in fact Lincoln's valet Charles Forbes. There are three other accounts by eyewitnesses which partially corroborate Todd's observation of the Forbes and Booth interchange-but they were written much later than Todd's. 3 Todd's observation of the time he spotted Booth moving toward the box "about 10:25" corresponds to Good's own conclusion that Booth fired the fatal shot close to 10:30 PM. According to James Swanson MANHUNT p. 419 "the exact time of Booth's shot cannot be fixed . Booth may have shot Lincoln as early as 10:13 or as late as 10:30" Todd's account - again one of the freshest and most reliable weighs heavily in favor of Good. 4 Todd by his own account played a role in alerting the nation by telegraph. 5 Although he doesn't mention it as a surgeon of the ironclad Montauk Todd was also probably present at the autopsy of John Wilkes Booth on Thursday April 27 in the gun room of his ship. Indeed in an article in the February issue of the Baltimore and Ohio Magazine 1926 where the letter was first published and reproduced Todd is reported to have been "one of the surgeons who performed the autopsy." That as well as the fact that the other prisoners were being held on board the ironclad "Montauk" and "Saugus" may explain his cryptic remark near the end ". I have been a detective .". Todd actually mailed the letter on April 30 3 days after the autopsy and may very have participated in the actual investigation of the captives aboard the "Montauk."
