One of the first uses of the phrase


"the Afro-American race."
An important missive.
390. BANKS, Nathaniel P. (1816-94). Union Major
General, veteran of Shenandoah Valley campaign who
later replaced Benjamin Butler as military governor of
Louisiana. Lengthy ALS "N. P. Banks" as Congressman,
4pp, Waltham, MA, Sep 9, 1889. Superb political
content. A closely written appeal to Senator George F.
Hoar (1826-1904) pleading the case of a black
constituent and deploring unfair hiring practices in Navy
Yard and other government positions. In very small part,
regarding John D. Powell, Jr.: "a remarkable man...His
energy and activity are unlimited. He knows no fear, is
greatly skilled in obtaining information in what relates
to the opinions & actions of men & though often
disappointed in his expectations is not disheartened.
These with other good qualities are balanced by frailties
of his race, 'The Afro American Race' as he styles it...In
the Congressional contest of the 5th District he did good
work, as manager of 'The Boston Advocate' and always
came to the support of other men's ideas when his own
were not adopted...he is a valuable man & ought to be
cheerfully & gladly sustained in his request & need of
Government employment. I have done for him all I
could..." Banks describes his repeated but frustrated
efforts to assist Mr. Powell and the intent of government
employees to hire like-minded persons regardless of
qualifications. He informs Senator Hoar of the current
naval yard storekeeper who is "reputed to have been a

deserter from the Union army" and that he was


transferred to accommodate the appointment of another
political friend of "Mr. Lodge" at Washington over Mr.
Powell who was indeed qualified. Banks describes other
similar instances. He concludes, "...Nothing good can
come out of it. I see men of the Union Army constantly
who tell me they have no chance, and the same of the
Union Navy! That is not right! It is the same with Mr.
Powell & his compatriots. They have no chance. They
cannot even ask for place or employment & of course
don't get. I walked the entire distance from the...Hotel to
Fanueil Hall on the day President Harrison was recd.
there. It was a magnificent reception. But I saw few
colored people out that day. Their numbers may be
small, but if they turn upon the leaders of the
Administration, it will be a wreck of one side or the
other. I do not know who has a better right to ask...the
favor of honest work & pay than the Union soldiers &
sailors and they who lead the Emancipated race of
Americans...." Darkly penned and signed, adding "M.
C." Fine. (Est. $400-500)

Superb war-date ALS of Beauregard on: "...the drawings


and sketches... 1st Corps. Army of Potomac... drawings
of the battlefield of Manassas."
391. BEAUREGARD, Pierre G. T. ALS, January 27,
1862, 2pp., darkly penned and signed twice with the
initials "GTB" and flourish. There is minor loss of a tiny
area at top and bottom left, affecting only one letter, the
"P" in "P.S.". The letter reads in full: "Dear Col. 1. Are
those flag drawings finished? 2. Order Mr. Grant to
mark all the drawings & sketches in his possession `1st
Corps Army of Potomac - so that we may reclaim them if
ever we come back - 3. Order Private Ammen on
topographical duty to turn in his sketches to Mr. Grant...
and to Qr. Mr. Dept. & report to his Regt. as soon
thereafter as possible acknowledging properly his
services. I will call to see you today. G.T.B. P. S. Has Mr.
Grant ever duplicated those drawings of the battle field
of Manassas? I had given him orders to do so as soon as
practicable. I want to take the copies with me to go with
the copy of my report. G.T.B." The Battle of Manassas
was of course also known as the Battle of Bull Run
where Union forces were routed by the Confederates in a
battle watched by Washington residents who had come

by carriage expecting to see the war won in one day. This


letter shows Beauregard in his full glory.

autograph endorsement signed "Recd. at N.O. Augt 13th
1865 G.T.B" at the bottom of the second page of
Beauregard's copy of a letter from William T. Sherman
(the copy of Sherman's letter was secretarially written
and signed). Sherman was responding to Beauregard's
letter requesting his personal papers and effects that were
seized during the Civil War. In small part: "...I have sent
both to Genl Hoffman at Washington with this
Endorsement...'they should be returned to him as
something too small for a great Government to
notice...'". He suggests other channels he might pursue
and concludes: "...all conventions should be religiously
kept, for on them are based the most Sacred Rights of

393. [Beauregard] Stirring 5 x 8" printed circular from

his adjutant, Captain John M. Otey, with period inked
instruction "To be read to each Corps." On letterhead
reading "Head Quarters of the Forces," Corinth, Miss.,
May 2, 1862. In this oft-quoted document, General
Beauregard, who had replaced Albert Sidney Johnston
when he was killed at Shiloh, implores the soldiers of the
combined Army of Tennessee and Army of Mississippi
to greet the "invaders of our soil" with fortitude and
resolve in the pending "shock of battle" where "we shall
recover more than we have lately lost!" Morale had
plummeted in Southern ranks as Confederate soldiers
had marched back to Corinth following the battle at
Pittsburg Landing three weeks before. At Corinth,
Beauregard built fortifications and awaited an attack
from General Halleck that never came. By late May,
Beauregard realized Corinth must be evacuated, not only
because Halleck's army was significantly larger, but also

due to the lack of water in Corinth and disease among


Southern troops. Although Beauregard was successful in
withdrawing his army safely, he himself left his army
citing illness (possibly a nervous breakdown) and was
then relieved by Davis. Discoloration at fold, some
darkening at center, else very fine. (Est. $1,200-1,500)

sank, the resulting lawsuit became one of
Abraham Lincoln's most famous cases, in
which he declared that the right of railroads to
bridge rivers equaled that of steamboats to
navigate them. Excellent condition and quite

think they can have it changed. You may rest
assured I shall use every exertion to go into the

Stunning war-date Robert E. Lee letter to Wade


Hampton. Written after Jeb Stuart's death and
Hampton's brilliant victory at Trevilian Station,
when Lee promoted Hampton to be in charge of
the cavalry, August of 1864.
413. LEE, Robert E. (1807-70) Lee hailed from
one of the most distinguished families in Virginia.
His father, "Light-Horse Harry," was a famous
Revolutionary War officer, and his wife Mary
Custis descended from Martha Washington. He
graduated second in his class from West Point in
1829, and then worked in the engineering
department. Fighting with distinction in the
Mexican War, in 1859 he put down John Brown's
raid on Harper's Ferry. After Virginia left the
Union, he cast his lot with his native state and led
the Army of Northern Virginia to many victories,
including Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, and
Chancellorsville. His ill-advised attack on the
center of the Union line at Gettysburg stopped
his invasion of the North. He finally surrendered
to Grant at Appomattox on April 9, 1865, and was
paroled. Lee became president of Washington
College [now Washington & Lee University],
which is where he died and is buried. A
remarkkable letter: "Headq'r. Aug. 12 1864 Gen,
Your note of this morning with reference to the
assignment of certain members of your present
staff to you for duty in the staff of the Cavalry
Corps has been received. It will give me pleasure
to gratify your wishes in the matter so far as I
can do so consistently with the existing orders &
regulations. It will be necessary to make
application for the transfer of such as you desire
so that the application in each case may be
acted on & the order issued at the A & GGO
Richmond. I am very respectfully, Your Ob't

Serv't". The letter is signed with the typical, light


Confederate gray ink "R. E. Lee, Gen'l"
underneath a thumbprint, undoubtedly that of
Lee himself. The 1864 battle of Trevilian Station
was the Civil War's truly decisive cavalry fight,
and the thrashing that Hampton gave Sheridan
quite possibly extended the war another six
months. After several days' fighting, Hampton
gave Sheridan a check at Trevillian's Station
which broke up a plan of campaign that included
a junction with Hunter and the capture of
Lynchburg. In twenty-three days Hampton
captured over 3,000 prisoners and much materiel
of war, with a loss of 719 men. He was made
commander of Lee's cavalry in August, with the
rank of lieutenant-general, and in September
struck the rear of the federal army at City Point,
bringing away 400 prisoners and 2,486 beeves.
Soon afterward, in another action, he captured
500 prisoners. In one of these attacks he lost his
son in battle. Beautifully housed in a custom
frame, with a portrait and plaque. (Est. $10,00012,000)

me would not, probably, prejudice ones claims,
unless it appeared that I was myself interested.
So you may send any applications on the part of
friends for the advancement of deserving
individuals, but the communications must be
made by the friends of the individuals and sent
to me for endorsement. In that way I will only
appear in my official capacity, and not as an
interested party, which I really am not. You ask
me whether the move into East [Te]ennessee
was made at my suggestion. It was [not] nor was
it a move that would ever have entered my mind
as a practicable one, if I had not heard through
some of the Staff Officers of Gen. Bragg that he
intended to make such a move. Upon hearing
this rumor I set to work to study some means by

which the move could be made with safety - And


when called into council upon the matter,
suggested that it might be made by
concentrating the Army in a strong position
behind Chickamauga and then detaching a
column of twenty thousand men against
Burnside in E.T. so as to make the move strong
enough and rapid enough to destroy Burnside
before the enemy could advance in such
condition as to injure our force in Ga. I opposed
the move as Gen. Bragg proposed it and as he
attempted to execute it, upon the grounds that
his line would be too long and too weak to be
held around the enemy concentrated in his
midst. That the enemy's force could be
concentrated at Chattanooga and moved against
any point of his line in twenty minutes, and that
when he did move his (Bragg's) long and weak
line must be broken, and I opposed the move
into E.T. as too weak to accomplish the results
hoped for. That the probabilities were that the
reduction in his force would be so great that he
could not hold his lines - In short I told him that
the whole matter, if the move was made as it
was made, would result just as it did result: In his
defeat and my failure - Before leaving
Chattanooga I wrote to Gen. Buckner, expressing
this opinion. He happened to keep my letter, and
after the battle of Mission Ridge he sent the
letter back to me, as so remarkably true in my
predictions as to be well worthy of preservation. I
sent it to Louise to keep for me. If you wish it you
are welcome to it and she will send it to you if
you will mention it when next you write her. The
Armies here seem to be quietly [lo]oking at each
other. Neither quite [rea]dy to move I suppose. I
don't know yet that we have adopted any plan or
policy, except it be to wait till the enemy is
entirely ready. Our troops are in fine condition
and full of confidence - I sincerely hope that we
may be able to destroy Grant as readily as we
have the other Yankee Generals. We have never
met one who has been able to stand against us
yet. Give much love to Aunt and Cousins when

you see them or write them. Your very


affectionate Nephew, J. Longstreet." Loss to
bottom left corner, small holes near the bottom,

The first Confederate killed in action.


418. MARR, John Quincy. (d. 1861) The first
Confederate soldier (and officer) to be killed in
action during the Civil War. A graduate and
former faculty member of the Virginia Military
Institute, Marr had been sent to the field with the
Warrenton Rifles, which he had raised after John
Brown's raid. Col. Richard S. Ewell stationed
Marr's company at the Fairfax Courthouse, and
on June 1, 1861, Company B, 2nd U.S. Cavalry
passed through the town, firing a few random
shots. After a defense was prepared and the
Union forces driven off, it was noticed that Marr
was missing. He was later found dead from a
wound in the chest. Excessively rare manuscript
D.S. "John Q. Marr", 1p. oblong 8vo., [n.p.], Feb.

in November,1862. Governor of New Jersey. ALS,
2pp. with integral address leaf, West Point, NY,
April 5th, 1850, to John Earle of Boston. He
writes: "John Earle Jr. Esq. Sir, Will you please
make for me, & send to this place, one uniform
frock coat, with engr. buttons, & straps of the
new pattern indicating the lineal rank of a 2nd Lt.
& the first grade of a Captain. I presume you
have the pattern by this time. The last coat you
made for me was of poor cloth & was entirely too
small for me - be kind enough to make this one
very loose in the neck, chest & arms, particularly
in the armpits, you cannot make it much too
large in the last place. I wrote to you some time
since in relation to an account against one G. C.
McClelland sent to me, more than once, by your
agent Mr. Selding; as my own account is now
paid in full to this date, by a check I sent to your
address some two days since, you will greatly
oblige me if you will give such directions that the
mistake of sending the above mentioned
individual's bill to me may not be repeated.
Please make the shoulder strap to tie on, as
directed in the order for the new uniform. The
last coat you made for me commenced wearing
white & tearing very soon after I received it; if
better cloth cannot be provided for the usual
price, I would prefer paying more for a good

article. Your obdt. servant Geo. B. McClellan." A


fine example in pristine condition. (Est. $400600)

Mary Ellen "Nelly" Marcy, carried his anger over
her marrying his old West Point roommate (and
commander of the Army of the Potomac!),
George B. McClellan, to the battlefields of the
Civil War! This incredible 7 x 8" two-sided
scrapbook album page includes wonderful
mementos from McClellan's 1860 wedding in
NYC. It includes G.B. McClellan's and Miss Marcy's
personal calling cards, six gorgeous photographic
portraits of Miss Marcy, a church invitation card,
newspaper clipping from the event with list of
attendees (including Lt. Gen. Scott, Ex-Governor
Seymour, Col. Joe Johnston & Major A.P. Hill
himself! A clipping details McClellan's
immediately previous duty in Russia; another
clipping is about then General McClellan's
nephew, Young English, fighting for the South,
who "...seems to desire nothing so much as to
meet in hostile combat his distinguished
kinsman." The calling card of Miss Lilah
Worthington is also included (possibly the owner
of the scrapbook); she apparently appears in one
of the photographs with Miss Marcy. A fun, quite
interesting record... and great story of romance,
heartache, and battle! (Est. $400-600)

Beauregard at First Manassas and was replaced
by McClellan. He was assigned a corps of the

"Only an Irishman...
can appreciate and understand Paddy."
423. McQUADE, James. (1829-84) Brevet
Brigadier General in the 14th New York Infantry.
Interesting political content A.L.S. 2pp. 5 x 8",
Utica, N.Y., July 15, 1872 to New York governor
John T. Hoffman discussing his candidacy and the
Irish vote and the need for him to not run for re-

election. He writes: "I don't find that the wellinformed people have an idea that you would
lose much of the Irishman, or one with Irish blood
in his veins, can appreciate and understand
Paddy. Those who think you will be hurt
materially by the Irish vote are of two classes -the people who know nothing about it, and those
who want somebody else nominated. While I
have no doubt you would lose some Irish votes I
am sure that they would be more than
compensated by the scattering Republican vote
you would receive from those who approve [of]
your administration. My father, who is a pretty
shrewd observer of political affairs, and
conversant with the currents of public opinion,
thinks that you would not lose a great many Irish
votes, and that if you did you would 'have plenty
without them.' Kernan[?] proposes not to be a
candidate, but I am not certain that he is sincere.
You can't always tell about Kernan. His name it is
Frank, but the name doesn't strike in to any
extent. His son, with whom I talked yesterday,
doesn't know anything about it. Spriggs,
however, who is a pretty good indicator of the
Kernan mind, says that he 'thinks, on the whole
Frank is the best man to take Hoffman's place.
Hoffman, had better announce that he is not a
candidate and relieve the matter of all
complication...' I suppose that it may seem to
some of these gentleman that, after all this
blathering about the 12 of July, if you should
decline to become a candidate it wouldn't do to
put a Catholic, or Irish blood, in your place..."

connections to the Tweed Ring, did not stand for
re-election. Neatly laid into a lager sheet, usual

427. PLATNER, John Strong. (1837-68) Carte
photograph from Plumb Gallery in Washington,

9/18/1863 (as of 1st NY Veteran Cavalry); Colonel
12/13/1864; Brig-Gen 3/13/1865 by Brevet.
Helping command troops with the NY 33rd, the

"Ontario Regiment," Platner and his men built up


Forts Ethan Allen and Marcy. The 3d brigade,
under command of Gen. Davidson, then moved
to Manassas; then embarked for the Peninsula. In
the siege of Yorktown the regiment was active. It
encountered the enemy at Lee's Mill; participated
in the battles of Williamsburg, Mechanicsville,
and the Seven Days' fighting from Gaines' Mill to
Malvern Hill; encamped at Harrison's Landing.
They took part in the Maryland campaign; at
Antietam the regiment displayed exceptional
gallantry. They saw action throughout Maryland,
joined the "Mud March" in 1863, and returned to
winter at White Oak Church. In the battle of
Chancellorsville, the regiment belonged to the
light brigade and suffered great losses.
Redeployed as a Lt. Col. with the NY 1st Cavalry,
Platner served in the Dept. of Washington. Their
first battle occurred at Upperville, in Feb., 1864.
Continuous hard service followed, the regiment
being actively engaged at Woodstock, Newtown,
New Market, and numerous other locales. Under
command of Col. Platner, the regiment mustered
out at Camp Piatt, W. Va., July 20, 1865. An
exceptional piece from a man who saw a great

about your son and if worthy will have him
detailed for hospital duty at the Coleman
Institute in Hanover, where his opportunities for
study will be better & his expenses less than at

details, but there are special cases which justify
it. I have but one motive in these matters and
that is duty to our country, which I know you will
recognize as paramount to everything else. Most

443. VEATCH, James C. (1819-1895), Union


Brig. Gen. of Vols.; fought at Shiloh and Mobile;
led a division in the deep south; early
investigator of Indiana Lincoln lore. Handsome
document, signed and partially filled out by
Veatch, New Albany, Ind., 1877. A $25 U.S. tax

stamp for a retail liquor dealer; on pale yellow


paper with nice vignette of Bacchus, still and
wine jug at top; Internal Revenue seal and
underprinted year date in red. Unissued; two
small hole cancels clear of writing; very fine.
Veatch published The Herald newspaper at
Rockport, Ind., near Lincoln's boyhood home, and
likely first met him in 1844 during his sole return
visit, as a campaigner for Henry Clay. In 1861
Veatch led the committee which welcomed
Lincoln's inaugural train to Indiana and had a
long reminiscent talk with him. When the
neglected grave of Lincoln's mother Nancy was
finally marked in 1879, Veatch led a drive to put
an iron fence around the site and personally
helped install it. Colorful and great for display.

An interesting Union Naval document.


The final request before the Tecumseh sank to
the bottom of Mobile Bay in the engagement that
inspired the directive
"Damn the torpedoes!"

447. Offered is one of the last documents signed by


Captain T.A.M. Craven before he died with most of his
crew of 141 men when the USS Tecumseh broke from
formation to attack the Confederate ironclad ram
Tennessee, was hit by a torpedo and capsized... quickly
plunging bow first to the bottom of Mobile Bay. This
historic manuscript is one page, 8 x12", written and
signed by John Faron, Chief Engineer of the Tecumseh,
July 29, 1864, from Pensacola. The missive is a formal
request for iron spikes and machinists to execute repairs
to deck plates of the Union Ironclad, with approval
signatures of both Tunis A.M. Craven, Captain of the
ship and Commodore William W. Smith, in command of
the Navy Yard at Pensacola. On the verso is a docket by
J.W. Whittaker, Chief Engineer at the Navy Yard,
certifying the signatures and stating, "the last requistion
signed by Chief Engineer Faron before the Tecumseh
was blown up Aug. 5/64 Mobile Bay." These repairs were
made just seven days before this famous Civil War Naval
encounter at Mobile Bay, when Union battle plans went
awry. Com. Farragut, directing the engagement,
nonetheless felt he still had the initiative and gave his
famous order to "Damn the torpedoes!" The rest of the
fleet charged forward. This historic Naval item comes
with a copy of the magazine Blue & Gray, June 12, 2002
relating "The Battle of Mobile Bay." Cleanly separated at
integral folds but easily repaired, a remarkable piece of
history! (Est. $400-600)

Rare Civil War Signature from the


Baltimore Riots.
448. Offered is a bold signature of George (Marshal)
Kane penned on an official check from the Comptroller
of Baltimore City. The blue check is dated Dec. 6th
1877. Kane was head of the Police force in Baltimore in
April 1861 when the famous "first blood" of the Civil
War was shed. The Union 6th Mass. was being sent to
Washington via Baltimore when the citizens attacked the
Union soldiers resulting in numerous casualties on both
sides. This would be known as the Baltimore Riot.
Marshal George P. Kane, head of the Baltimore City
Police, with about fifty policeman rushed in behind the
troops and formed a line to protect them. Ironically Kane
was a secessionist. Two of his sons would later join

Mosby's Rangers, and he would eventually be arrested


because of his political views. But as a policeman Kane
saw it as his duty to protect these troops even though
they opposed his own personal beliefs. Later Kane was
sent to see the Governor, who was staying at Mayor
Brown's home. Kane informed Governor Hicks that
within a few short hours a large body of troops, no doubt
aware of the day's events and inflamed with resentment,
would enter Baltimore. The Governor, though he would
later deny it, supposedly gave his permission to burn the
railroad bridges of the North Central and Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore Railroads, effectively cutting
Baltimore off from the North. Kane realized that burning
the bridges was not enough to stop Federal troops from
passing through the city. If Baltimore was to become the
focal point of Federal troops passing through the state to
the District of Columbia, then Baltimore needed a strong
military presence in the city to keep order and to deter
Federal troops from occupying it. To this end Kane
contacted several of the militia units scattered throughout
the state. One such militia unit, the Frederick Company,
was commanded by Captain Bradley T. Johnson, a local
lawyer and politician. Johnson had several days before
offered his assistance to Kane. Kane wired Johnson:
"Streets red with Maryland blood. Send expresses over
the mountains of Maryland and Virginia for the riflemen
to come without delay." Within a month of the riots,
Johnson and most of his men would be at Harper's Ferry
organizing what became the 1st Maryland Volunteer
Infantry, C.S.A. (Est. $200-400)

Rare and significant Baltimore Riot work...


Signed by the author, that city's Mayor, who tried to calm
events during the first carnage of the war.
450. Offered is a very rare first edition of Baltimore and
the 19th of April, 1861, by George William Brown.
Published in 1887 in Baltimore by N. Murray, agent for
Johns Hopkins University (printer Isaac Friedenwald),
the book has been inscribed to "N. Murray with the kind
regards of Geo. Wm. Brown Nov. 5 /87." Brown was the
Mayor of Baltimore City during this famous first event
of the Civil War. The book relates his personal account
of this important historical event. In April 1861 clouds of
war hung over the nation. Soon Fort Sumter would be
fired on, giving rise to the "official" beginning of the
Civil War. Before this first encounter, the real start of the
Civil War occurred on April 19, 1861 between
Massachusetts Union soldiers and Southern sympathizer
civilians in the City of Baltimore. Numerous were killed
and injured on both sides. This book apparently was one
of the first copies to be printed as it was signed to
Murray. The hardback book is in good condition except
that the front binding is slightly separated. The front
cover has beautiful gold leaf for the title, author etc. The
only autographed copy we can source... a seldom offered
book. (Est. $600-800)

General Orders, each signed in ink by Adjutant General
Samuel Cooper, 23pp. total, 4.25 x 6.5", Washington,
dating between November 7, 1853 and August 28, 1854,

Jefferson Davis. Subjects range from the organization of
the Pay Department to a very involved statement

the Army. This was an issue that would figure heavily
during the Civil War when recent immigrants (notably
the Irish) would make up a significant portion of the
ranks of the Union Army. Pin holes at left margins,
otherwise mostly bright and clean. Four (4) documents in
total, quite fine pre-war military content. (Est. $200-300)
