[SALEM WITCH TRIALS]. SEWALL, Stephen (1657-1725). Docket signed ("Steph Sewall") as Recorder for Essex County, Massachusetts. 17 March 1704. [With:] Two imprints related to Salem Witch Trials judge Samuel SEWALL (1652-1730). 1p, 8 x12 in., docket without original enclosure, note and signature at center panel "This instrument is Recorded with [?] records of sd County...Steph Sewall." [With:] Two scarce colonial imprints: PRINCE, Thomas. "A Sermon at the Publick Lecture in Boston Jan. viii. 1729, 30. Upon the Death of the Honourable Samuel Sewall, Esq., Late Chief Justice of the Circuits and One of His Majesty's Council for the Province Who Deceased at his House in Boston on the 1st of the same Month and in the 78th Year of his Age."

Archival reinforcing strip affixed to the right and left edges of the front title page; red serial number handstamp at bottom of p1. Contents generally clean, with scattered spotting. -- Accompanied by "AN ACCOUNT of the Deceased From the Weekly News-Letter, No. 158. Corrected. Boston, January 8, 1729,30." 4pp, approx. 4 3/4 x 7 7/8 in., and apparently bound at one time with the Sermon by Prince. Small scattered stains, archival reinforcing strip affixed to the left edge of the last page. Major Stephen Sewall was Clerk of the Court at the Salem Witch Trials. Despite his role, he was less taken in by the hysteria than other members of the court. This includes his brother, Samuel Sewall, who served as a judge during the infamous trials of 1692-1693 the result of which nineteen people were ultimately executed for witchcraft. Samuel Sewall later apologized for his role in the trials, and is also known for his essay, "The Selling of Joseph" (1700), which criticized slavery.

Lot: 302 - [COLONIAL]. Printed handbill announcing to "The Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the Town of Boston" the date of an upcoming town meeting and the matters which will be discussed. Boston, 29 February 1739.

[COLONIAL]. Printed handbill announcing to "The Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the Town of Boston" the date of an upcoming town meeting and the matters which will be discussed. Boston, 29 February 1739. 1p, 8 1/2 x 14 1/2 cm. "The Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the Town of Boston qualified according to Law, are to meet at the Town House upon Monday the tenth of March next, at nine o'Clock in the Forenoon...." The notice continues with a list of matters to be discussed at the meeting, including choosing officers for the year as the law directs, granting money for the relief of the poor, receiving the reports of several committees, choosing "Jury-Men" for the court, and considering the "State of the North and South Batterys, and also what shall be thought proper to be done in order to securing and maintaining the Town's Right on and about Fort-Hill." In the earliest years following Boston's founding, the citizens prepared fortifications to ensure the safety of the town and its inhabitants. In 1646, a shoreline battery was built on "Merry’s Point" at the foot of Copp's Hill. The battery, which became known as "North Battery," provided protection for the mouth of the Charles River and covered the harbor. In 1666, a protective battery called the "Sconce," or the "South Battery," was built at the foot of Fort Hill in the area in Boston now known as Rowes Wharf. The South Battery protected the Town Cove (now solid land). Boston moved to meet the needs of its poorest citizens early on as well. The town commissioned its first almshouse, a small wood-framed building on the eastern edge of the Common, in 1662. In 1739, perhaps in response to feedback offered at the March 1739 town meeting advertised in this handbill, Boston constructed a two story brick workhouse next to the almshouse in order to discourage the migration of needy strangers to the growing maritime city. A scarce piece of ephemera, and a wonderful example of town hall democracy at work. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 303 - [COLONIAL]. GRAY, Harrison (1711-1794). Broadside signed as Treasurer and Receiver-General, directing Joshua Cushman, Constable or Collector of the Town of Duxbury, to collect and remit certain taxes. Boston, Province of the Mass-Bay, 1 Nov. 1755.

[COLONIAL]. GRAY, Harrison (1711-1794). Broadside signed as Treasurer and Receiver-General, directing Joshua Cushman, Constable or Collector of the Town of Duxbury, to collect and remit certain taxes. Boston, Province of the Mass-Bay, 1 Nov. 1755. Printed broadside completed in manuscript being a tax warrant issued by Harrison Gray. Approx. 15 1/4 x 11 3/4 in. Headed by the British Royal Coat of Arms flanked by "G.II" to the left and "R" to the right, with paper and wax seal to upper left. Broadside reads, in small part: "Harrison Gray, Esq; Treasurer and Receiver-General for His Majesty's said Province. To Joshua Cushman Constable or Collector of the Town of Duxbury, greeting, &c...Theseare in his Majesty's Name to Will and Require you to Collect all and every the Sums of Money mentioned in the List or Lists of the Tax Assessment of your Town, made by the Assessors or Select-Men of the said Town, and committed to you to Collect Amounting in the Whole to the Sum of One hundred & Ten Pounds, Eleven Shillings & two pence...And hereof you are not to fail, upon the Pains and Penalties as may in such Case by Law be inflicted on you." Early American broadside signed by Harrison Gray, a wealthy merchant who served as Treasurer and Receiver-General for the Province of Massachusetts Bay from 1753 until the beginning of the American Revolution. On the eve of the Seven Years War in the Province of Massachusetts, town constables such as Joshua Cushman shouldered an array of public responsibilities, including announcing town meetings, serving writs for the town clerk, and collecting local taxes. Although they received a commission for the taxes collected, constables were also held personally responsible for any taxes unpaid, authorized by writ of the Provincial Treasurer and enforced by County Sheriffs. By virtue of this warrant, Gray is compelling Cushman to his tax-collecting duties. But by 1775, Gray was forced to choose to between the cause of the Americans or loyalty to the British Crown. He remained a Loyalist. His property was ultimately confiscated, and in 1776 Gray was forced to flee Boston, spending the remainder of his life in London. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 304 - [COLONIAL]. Manuscript signed by Thomas HINCKLEY (1618-1706), last Governor of Plymouth Colony, and Nathaniel MORTON (1613-1685), Plymouth Colony secretary and historian.

[COLONIAL]. Manuscript signed by Thomas HINCKLEY (1618-1706), last Governor of Plymouth Colony, and Nathaniel MORTON (1613-1685), Plymouth Colony secretary and historian. Manuscript inventory and receipt, undated [ca 1660s-early 1680s?], 1 1/4 p, approx. 4 x 5 3/4 in., twice-signed by Thomas Hinckley as witness. Docketed on verso by Nathaniel Morton as Colonial Secretary. Thomas Hinckley served as Colonial Governor of Plymouth Colony from 1680-1686, and again from 1689-1692 at which time Plymouth ceased to exist as an independent English colony and became part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Nathaniel Morton served for most of his life as Plymouth's secretary under his uncle, Governor William Bradford. Morton wrote an account of the settlement of the Colony, the first historical text published in the United States, and was first to publish a list of signers of the Mayflower Compact. A scarce document from 17th-century colonial America signed by two of Plymouth Colony's prominent citizens. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 305 - [COLONIAL] -- [BACON'S REBELLION]. GRANTHAM, Sir Thomas (ca 1640 - 1718). British Exchequer receipt signed ("Tho: Grantham") by the suppressor of "Bacon's Rebellion," N.p., 12 No[vember] 1713.

[COLONIAL] -- [BACON'S REBELLION]. GRANTHAM, Sir Thomas (ca 1640 - 1718). British Exchequer receipt signed ("Tho: Grantham") by the suppressor of "Bacon's Rebellion," N.p., 12 No[vember] 1713. Partially printed English Exchequer receipt, 1p, approx. 7 x 6 in. Grantham's signature in the righthand margin, with the last letter of the surname underlined by him twice. Sir Thomas Grantham signs to confirm receipt "[Of] the Honourable Russel Robartes Esq; One of the Four Tellers of Her Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer, the Sum of fifty pounds in full of all former Directions of the said Order, and for Six Months Annuity, due at Michmas last past, of One hundred Pounds per Annum, upon an Act of Parliament, (Entitled, An Act for granting an Aid to Her Majesty for carrying on the War, and other Her Majesty's Occasions, by telling Annuities of several Rates, and for such respective Terms or Estates as are therein mentioned:) ....' Sir Thomas Grantham was an English tobacco trader, a naval officer, and commander of the naval fleet of the British East India Company. In 1676, Grantham embarked for Virginia at the behest of the colony's Colonial Governor William Berkeley in order to put an end to unrest known as "Bacon's Rebellion." Bacon's Rebellion was an armed uprising by Virginia settlers that took place from 1676 to 1677, and was the most serious challenge to royal authority before the American Revolution. The rebellion was led by Nathaniel Bacon against Colonial Governor William Berkeley, after Berkeley refused Bacon's request to drive Native Americans out of Virginia. Grantham and the Royal Navy arrived in November 1676, eventually subduing the rebellion.

Lot: 307 - [TOWNSHEND ACT] -- [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. Manuscript warrant for Town Meeting which includes a resolution related to the Boston Non-Importation agreement. Newburyport, Massachusetts, 13 September 1769.

[TOWNSHEND ACT] -- [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. Manuscript warrant for Town Meeting which includes a resolution related to the Boston Non-Importation agreement. Newburyport, Massachusetts, 13 September 1769. "The Select Men's Warrant for a Town Meeting to be held Sept. 20: 1769 @ 4 o'clock [in the] afternoon." 2pp, approx. 7 1/2 x 12 in. Signed by the "Select Men of Newbury Port," Ralph Cross, William Atkins, John Berrey and Edmund Bartlett. Verso docketed and with signed statement of Edmund Morse Jr., "Constabel [sic] for Newbury Port," swearing that he posted the notice at several "plasis of publick worship and at the town hous in said town....". Warrant lists five agenda items for discussion at the impending meeting, the fourth of which pertains to the Boston Non-Importation Agreement of 1768: "Fourthly To know if the Town will return their Thanks to the Merchants of Boston & c. for their Patriotick & noble Spirit, in their agreement of Non-Importation of Goods from Great Brittain." Organized by the Sons of Liberty and Whig merchants, the Boston Non-Importation Agreement was signed on August 1, 1768, by more than 60 merchants and traders. It was a formal collective decision made by Boston based merchants and traders not to import or export items to Britain. The agreement, essentially a boycott, was a series of agreed upon commercial restrictions the colonists put in place with regard to trade with the mother country whereby they refused to buy "any tea, glass, paper, or other goods commonly imported from Great Britain." The decision for the agreement came about as a way to protest and combat the 1767 Townshend Revenue Act. The Boston Non-Importation Agreement was one of the most effective means of colonial resistance against British policy in the years before the American Revolution. Given the Select Men of Newbury Port's description of the Boston merchants as "Patriotick & noble," it seems clear they are indicating their support for the bold actions of the Bostonians. A unique example of the patriotic fervor sweeping the colonies in the years prior to the American Revolution.

Lot: 311 - [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. Manuscript document recording the sale of six cannons formerly belonging to Captain Thomas Dean (ca 1723-1802) of Salem, Massachusetts. Salem, 28 August 1776.

[REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. Manuscript document recording the sale of six cannons formerly belonging to Captain Thomas Dean (ca 1723-1802) of Salem, Massachusetts. Salem, 28 August 1776. 2pp, approx. 8 1/4 x 13 1/4 in. A record of the partial interests and sales of "Six Iron Guns said to be the Property of Capt. Thomas Dean / who with his Family hath deposited out of the country / are lawfully attached on the Suits of Richard Manning & Love Pickman for debts justly due to them respectively." Undersigned by seven "Subscribers" and "Creditors" of Dean who agree to the sale of the his six cannons "to the highest bidder either at public or private sale" and that payment received will be divided and used to offset Dean's debts. Signed by Ebenezer Putnam, Stephen Webb, George Peall, Eleazer Moses, Timothy Ornese [sp?], John Bray, and E.A. Holyoke. Verso with listing of costs, payments, and accounts associated with the sale of the cannons. Captain Thomas Dean was a prominent Salem mariner and merchant who started sailing in the 1740s. Massachusetts Vital Records indicate that a "Captain Thomas Dean" of Salem, MA, married twice, first Sarah Phippen in 1751 and, following her death, Mary Cash on 9 April 1754. They had ten children. Dean may have been a privateer during the Revolutionary War, and it is unclear why his family had removed from the town of Salem. As evidenced by this document, he was unquestionably indebted to multiple persons. No doubt sensing the opportunity posed by the ongoing American Revolution, Dean's creditors indicate the guns are to be sold "immediately by reason of the very great demand." A year after the initial document was signed, the successful sale of 8, not just 6, guns is recorded on the back of the form: 2 for £190, 2 for £105, and 4 for £245 for a total of £505 raised. Notably, among Dean's creditors to be paid is "Love Pickman," possibly Love Rawlings Pickman (1709-1787), a female American silversmith. Her signature appears on the document accepting the accounts presented, along with the signature of Richard Manning, Jr. (1755-1813), a prosperous blacksmith and later founder of the Boston Stage Company. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 312 - [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. AVERY, Jr. John (1739-1806). "Resolve for Raising a Gard [sic] for the Powder House," signed ("John Avery Dpy Secy") as Deputy Secretary of the Province of Massachusetts. "In the House of Representatives," 3 January 1777.

[REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. AVERY, Jr. John (1739-1806). "Resolve for Raising a Gard [sic] for the Powder House," signed ("John Avery Dpy Secy") as Deputy Secretary of the Province of Massachusetts. "In the House of Representatives," 3 January 1777. 1 p, 7 1/4 x 8 in. Avery signs and attests that the document is in fact "a true copy." Docketed on verso. Document reads, "Resolved that Jonathan Brown Esq. Inlist Seven Men out of the Militia in Watertown viz, one to be a Corporal & Six privates to serve as a guard to the Powder House in Watertown till the first day of March next unless sooner discharged by order of the General Court, And that they be allowed for their service as follows viz the Corporal at the rate of fourty [sic] four shillings & the privates forty shillings for Calendar month each and Rations as assigned." Notations then indicate the resolution was "Sent up for Concurrence," "In Council Jany 3 1777," and finally "Consented to by the major part of Council." Due to the British siege of Boston, the Massachusetts General Court (the state legislature of Massachusetts) met in Watertown, a Boston suburb, from 1775 to 1778. Even though the British had ended the siege of Boston in March 1776, there remained a constant fear that the British would again target the city. To assure that their government and the powder house with its gunpowder stores were protected, it was required for a special militia detachment to guard the powder house. Ultimately, thanks to defeats like Saratoga and a shift towards the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States, Boston was never attacked by the British again. Born into a family with American roots dating back to 1650, John Avery, Jr. graduated Harvard College in 1759. He was a member of the Sons of Liberty and served as Deputy Secretary of the Province of Massachusetts Bay from 1776-1780 under Samuel Adams. Avery later defeated Adams at the polls to become the first Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 313 - [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. HOWE, General William (1729-1814). "Copy of General How's [sic] Proclamation of the 15 of March 1777" offering pardons to Continental Army soldiers who disarm and join the Loyalist cause. N.p., [1777].

[REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. HOWE, General William (1729-1814). "Copy of General How's [sic] Proclamation of the 15 of March 1777" offering pardons to Continental Army soldiers who disarm and join the Loyalist cause. N.p., [1777]. "Copy of General How's [sic] Proclamation of the 15 of March 1777." Contemporary manuscript copy, 1p, approx. 7 1/4 x 12 1/2 in. Provenance: Livesey Family of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Following in the wake of Lord Richard Howe and General William Howe's "Proclamation" of 30 November 1776, and then General George Washington's 25 January 1777 "Proclamation" response, General William Howe again issued a proclamation aimed at securing British allegiance from American colonists. This "Proclamation" reads, in part: "Whereas it hath been represented to me that many of His Majesties European and American Subjects are compelled by force; or otherways induced to take up arms in opposition to the reestablishment of the Constitutional Authority of Government in America and are discouraged from returning to their allegiance by Ill founded doubts of the reception such tender of their duty may meet with --- I Therefore declare and do hereby Promise and Ingage that all persons bearing arms as aforesaid who shall surrender themselves...on or before the first Day of May next shall be intitualed to a Pardon for all offences heretofore committed against his Majesties Crown & Dignity...." The proclamation continues stating that any non-commissioned officer or private who shall come in with his arms shall receive full value for them. American born subjects will be able to enter the Provincial Corps in his Majesties service or return home, and British & Irish born subjects will likewise be afforded the same options. This proclamation was printed in the New York Gazette on 17 March 1777. As with Howe's previous attempt to sway American colonists to return their allegiances to the British, it seems this effort again failed to have a measurable effect. See also lot:

Lot: 314 - [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. Partially printed appointment of Elijah Robinson (1735-1809) as "Captain & Paymaster" of a Company in Col. Roger Enos's Battallion "now raising for the Defence of this & the United States." Connecticut, 7 April 1778.

Roger Enos's Battallion "now raising for the Defence of this & the United States." Connecticut, 7 April 1778. 1p, approx. 8 1/2 x 13 1/2 in. Signed by Elijah Robinson and Thomas Abby. Docketed on verso "Bond / Capt. Elijah Robinson / £1000 - April 7th, 1778." Elijah Robinson was born in Windham, Connecticut. in 1735, and served honorably during the Revolutionary War as an officer in the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army and Connecticut's state troops. He first served as a Minuteman, responding to the Lexington Alarm of April 1775 when he marched as a corporal in Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Moulton's company of militia from the town of Stafford, CT. He served with Moulton's company for 10 days, likely marching to Cambridge with it, then on May 1, 1775 was commissioned as a captain-lieutenant in the 2nd Connecticut Regiment, which would soon become part of the Continental Army. In June or July 1776, Robinson was commissioned as a captain in Colonel Samuel Mott's State Regiment, a regiment raised by the state of Connecticut to reinforce the Northern Department of the Continental Army. For part of his 1776 service Robinson may have been stationed at Fort Ticonderoga. After his service in Mott's regiment ended in December 1776, Robinson served for several campaigns in Connecticut's state troops. Beginning in June 1777 he served as a captain in Colonel John Ely's State Regiment, likely serving within Connecticut, and from April-September 1778 he served as a captain in Colonel Roger Enos's State Regiment, which was stationed somewhere on the Hudson River. Robinson is not known to have served again after 1778. Sometime after the Revolutionary War Robinson moved to the newly established town of Weathersfield, VT, where he served as a selectman and represented the town in Vermont's state legislature. He reached the rank of colonel in Vermont's militia and was offered a position as brigadier general but declined. He also served as a judge of the Windsor County Court from 1782-1787 and 1788-1801, then as chief judge in 1802. Robinson died in Weathersfield in 1809. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Taken as a prize ship, the Active arrived in Boston in April 1779, and was outfitted for American service in the Continental Navy under the direction of Amasa Davis. General Amasa Davis was born in 1744 in Woodstock, CT, but his family later removed to Roxbury, Massachusetts. His older brother, Caleb Davis, was a member of the Sons of Liberty, while Amasa Davis was a participant in the December 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the Revolutionary War, Amasa Davis served as a quartermaster of one of the Boston regiments in the Continental Army, rising to the rank of Brigadier General. A merchant, he was also the quartermaster general for Massachusetts from 1787 to 1825. Davis died in 1825 and is buried at the Central Burying Ground in Boston. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 317 - [WAR OF 1812]. Letter relaying news of violence on the frontier, Tory sympathizers, and battlefront reports. "Westmore Land," [Oneida County], [New York]. 28 June 1812.

[WAR OF 1812]. Letter relaying news of violence on the frontier, Tory sympathizers, and battlefront reports. "Westmore Land," [Oneida County], [New York]. 28 June 1812. Bettes, William & Olive. Autograph letter signed ("Wm & Olive Bettes") to Dr. John Bettis ("Dear Brother") of Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Westmore Land, [Oneida County], [New York]. 28 June 1812. 2pp, folio, integral address leaf. Written just ten days after President James Madison signed a declaration of war against Great Britain, William Bettes (spelling of name varies in records from Bettis, Bettes, Betty, Bettys, Bettyes) writes to his brother, Dr. John Bettis, with news of his family and the outbreak of hostilities. "We hear almost every week of the Indens killing of our brethering of the frontears but I expect you have the noose in your papers our peopel have taken one British Brig of twelve eighteen pounders & two other brigs with smuggled goods...& these brigs ware taken on Lake Onteryo & brought into Saketes Harbor about 80 miles from this. We have a grate many such tory like fellows no better than the Torys of old but I hope justis will overtake these as it did them." William then continues relaying that families are moving in from Canada "for fear of war" bringing news that the British have "got 15 thousand indens & furnished them with a quipment redy for battel but we do not fear their hosts for we have got a good army of true Amaricans to fight them...." Dr. John Bettis (1757-1827) was the younger brother of William Bettes (1749-?), both of whom were born to a large family in Chelmsford, MA. William married Olive Cory (1758-?) in Chelmsford, ca 1785, though the date they removed to New York is unclear. The naval engagement described by William may have happened on 5 June 1812 when the USS Oneida, which operated from Sacket's Harbor, captured the British schooner Lord Nelson. As during the American Revolution, Britain and the United States would involve Native Americans in their conflict. Most tribes, particularly those in the Great Lakes region, chose to ally with the British in hopes that a British victory would help them safeguard their tribal lands and halt westward expansion by American settlers. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

[WAR OF 1812]. New Hampshire Patriot and State Gazette. Concord, NH: 3 March 1828. Newspaper and single sheet supplement announcing Andrew Jackson's execution of six militia men. New Hampshire Patriot and State Gazette. Vol. XX, No. 987. 4pp., folio, 21 x 15 in., accompanied by the single sheet supplement (printed on both sides), approx. 18 1/2 x 11 in. Headlined, “A Brief Account of the Execution of the Six Militia Men," the supplement contains a thorough account of the infamous event that occurred at the end of the War of 1812. In February 1815, six militiamen under Major General Andrew Jackson's command were court-martialed for insubordination. They were later executed. Because Jackson did not prevent their execution, he was accused of murder thirteen years later when he ran for President by supporters of incumbent President John Quincy Adams. A series of "coffin-handbills" from pro-Adams publishers eulogizing the six dead men in 1828 incited a number of retaliatory blows between the two candidates, giving rise to a particularly bitter campaign season. In the end, Jackson’s huge popularity in the South and West could not be denied, and he won the election in a landslide, carrying all but a handful of New England states. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

[CIVIL WAR - CHAMBERLAIN, JOSHUA L. (1828-1914)]. Period copy CDV of Joshua Chamberlain as major general, MOH Gettysburg. CDV on cardstock mount, possibly remounted (significant toning, some blotches of discoloration). Uncredited. At the forefront of a pantheon of Gettysburg notables forever enshrined in the American psyche, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was awarded the Medal of Honor for his “heroism and great tenacity in holding his position on Little Round Top” on 2 July 1863 at Gettysburg. Afterwards, the pensive professor turned soldier earned accolades in several bloody engagements in which “his coolness of judgment and quickness of action drew special commendation." Grievously wounded while leading a charge at Petersburg on 18 June 1864 and reported dead, Grant awarded him a battlefield commission to Brigadier General “for gallant conduct in leading his brigade against a superior force of the enemy and for meritorious service.” After delicate surgery, followed by months of hospitalization, Chamberlain, still not completely fit for duty, returned to command at the end of the war only to be wounded again. On 29 March 1865, given two brigades he “led the advance of the infantry with Sheridan, and made the brilliant opening fight on the Quaker Road where he was hit in the left arm and breast, and his horse shot under him.” Consequently, he was promoted to brevet Major General “for conspicuous gallantry.” Several days later on 1 April at the battle of Five Forks, he received “special mention for recovering a lost field.” His troops led the final advance at Appomattox and it was to Chamberlain that Longstreet’s first flag of truce arrived on 9 April. General Chamberlain was given the honor of commanding “the parade before which Lee’s once vaunted Army of Northern Virginia laid down its arms and colors,” and surrendered. As a final tribute, it was Chamberlain’s Division that was “placed at the head of the column of the Army of the Potomac” during the Grand Review. General Chamberlain left the army in January 1866 and returned to the soliloquy of civilian life, immortalized as a true American hero. Following the conclusion of the Civil War, Chamberlain entered politics and served four one-year terms of office as the 32nd Governor of Maine. He also served on the faculty, and as president, of his alma mater, Bowdoin College.

The cap he wears is similar in style to the one famously worn by Stonewall Jackson. Image housed in a half leatherette case.

[CIVIL WAR]. BEAUREGARD, Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard (1818-1893). Sixth plate ruby ambrotype portrait of Confederate General PGT Beauregard dressed in federal uniform. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype copy of a photograph of General Beauregard wearing a federal dark blue double-breasted frock coat with brigadier general's shoulder straps. Housed in a Union case. RARE: We have not seen another example of this pose of the Confederate general. General Beauregard attended the US Military Academy at West Point graduating in 1838 and serving thereafter as an engineer officer in the United States Army during the Mexican American War. Upon the secession of his home state of Louisiana, however, he resigned and joined the Confederate States Army, becoming that force's first brigadier general. As such, he led the attack on Fort Sumter on 12 April 1861, starting a Civil War that would drag on for more than 4 years. He served the entire war, most notably leading the defense of Petersburg, VA from Union troops in June of 1864, which bought the Confederacy time before the conclusive fall and surrender of Richmond. After the war, Beauregard returned to Louisiana where he became a successful businessman, first working in the railroad industry, and then making his fortune as a supervisor of the Louisiana State Lottery Company.

[CIVIL WAR]. Genl. G.T. Beauregard, CSA. [Richmond? Alabama?]: Sterling C. McIntyre, publisher, [1861?]. 8 x 6 in. oval-length portrait (including margins) on 11 1/2 x 8 3/4 in. cardstock mount of General Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard in his Confederate uniform, his two rows of buttons indicating rank of brigadier general. With title and "Published by S.C. McIntyre" / "Copy right secured" included below the portrait. P.G.T. Beauregard (1818-1893), a career United States Army officer, joined the Confederacy after his home state of Louisiana seceded. He was promoted to brigadier general in 1861. McIntyre (born ca 1816), a native of Scotland, immigrated to the US in November, 1840. Having studied surgical dentistry in Paris, he opened a dental practice; newspapers and census records show him in Florida and South Carolina in the 1840s, San Francisco (CA) in 1850-1851, Nevada City (CA) in the mid 1850s, Alabama in the 1860s and 1870s, and back in California in the 1880s. Some sources suggest a temporary sojourn in Richmond, where he may have taken this photograph, which in format is like his photograph of Lee and other Confederate Generals. See, Hopkins, Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, noting McIntyre's Richmond oval photo of Lee, with identical publication and copyright information; and noting that, "McIntyre's notation of 'copyright secured' on his altered photograph of General Lee was quite unique in the early days of the Confederacy." Additional information regarding McIntyre is found in Peter E. Palmquist and Thomas R. Kailbourn, Pioneer Photographers of the Far West: A Biographical Dictionary, 1840-1865 (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2000); and Mike Robinson's "Sterling C. McIntyre's Panoramic Views of San Francisco," in The Daguerreian Annual 2013. RARE: Not in Crandall, Parrish & Willingham, Haynes, or on OCLC.

[Anderson & Johnson, August 1869]. 5 3/4 x 7 5/8 in. albumen photograph on slightly larger cardstock mount. Photograph of Robert E. Lee with some of his generals and several prominent Northern philanthropists, taken at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, August 1869. Ink script notation on verso identifies the subjects, and incorrectly dates the photograph "August 1870" instead of August 1869. One of two known versions that was taken by photographers D.A. Anderson & G.G. Johnson, and one of the only from life photographs of Lee with his Generals in existence, during the war or after. Personalities in the portrait include: standing (left to right), Confederate generals James Connor, Martin W. Gary, John Bankhead Magruder, Robert D. Lilley, P.G.T. Beauregard, A.R. Lawton, Henry A. Wise, and Joseph L. Brent; seated, (left to right), Blacque Bey, Turkish envoy, Robert E. Lee, George Peabody and W.W. Corcoran, both philanthropists, and James Lyons, a Richmond lawyer. The Face of Robert E. Lee by Roy Meredith conveys the author's insightful commentary on the White Sulphur photographs as they mark Lee's gradual decline. The author explains that while the majority of the men remained remarkably still while the two plates were made, Lee "dropped his hat; he shifted in his chair in a way that suggests discomfort, even pain" (Meredith, 1981: 81).

Lot: 358 - [LEE, Robert E. [(1807-1870)]. Gen's R.E. Lee & J.E. Johnston. Savannah, GA: D.J. Ryan, [1870]. Rare post-war photograph of the Confederate generals.

This encounter marked the first time that the two generals had seen each other since the war. Furthermore, this was the first and only time that the men were ever together before the camera. Copies of this photograph were sold to benefit the Ladies Memorial Association and the Lee Monument in Richmond, VA.

Lot: 359 - LEE, Robert E. (1807-1870). Letter signed ("R E Lee Genl"), as Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, to Confederate Colonel Henry B. Davidson (1831-1899). "Head Quarters Army No. Va / Camp near Fredericksburg." 29 December 1862.

LEE, Robert E. (1807-1870). Letter signed ("R E Lee Genl"), as Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, to Confederate Colonel Henry B. Davidson (1831-1899). "Head Quarters Army No. Va / Camp near Fredericksburg." 29 December 1862. 2pp, approx. 7 3/4 x 10 in. on a leaf of blue-ruled paper. Docketed on verso. Provenance: From an archive of correspondence related to CSA Brigadier General Henry B. Davidson. Lee writes to Henry Brevard Davidson, then serving as colonel in command of the military post at Staunton, Virginia, regarding strategy for the Shenandoah Valley. "I HOPE THE TROOPS UNDER GEN. JONES, THOSE UNDER YOU, & COL. IMBODEN, WITH SUCH OTHER AID AS CAN BE OBTAINED, WILL BE ABLE SPEEDILY TO RID THAT SECTION OF COUNTRY OF THE PRESENCE OF THE ENEMY & PREVENT THE OPPRESSION OF THE INHABITANTS...." Known as the "Breadbasket of the Confederacy," many Southerners considered Virginia's Shenandoah Valley region the heart of the South. During the Civil War, it served as a strategic left flank for the defenses of Richmond, a source of much-needed foodstuffs for Confederate forces, and a shielded avenue for a potential Confederate incursion into Washington, D.C. and beyond. From February through June 1862, Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson conducted an audacious campaign throughout the Shenandoah Valley during which he successfully engaged three Union armies and prevented them from being used in a Union offensive against the Confederate capital at Richmond. Generals Jackson and Lee both recognized the strategic advantage to be gained by utilizing the Blue Ridge Mountains as a "natural screen" for troop movements and as an invasion route northward. Sent six months after Jackson's Valley Campaign, this December 1862 letter to Colonel Henry B. Davidson foreshadows Lee's planned incursion into the Shenandoah Valley as part of his ill-fated Gettysburg Campaign. Lee informs Davidson: "Directions will be given for the baggage of the different Brigades of this Army & the men now guarding it, to be recalled from Staunton, as soon as possible. I will also direct that [Brigadier General Albert G.] Jenkin's Cav. Brigade be ordered to the [Shenandoah] Valley, if they can be spared from the Dept. of West Va." The letter then continues, "I have directed Gen'l W. E. Jones to concentrate the troops in the Valley Distr. and to drive the Enemy if possible beyond the Potomac. I am glad to find that you consider our forces sufficient for the purpose. I hope the troops under Gen Jones, those under you & Col. [John D.] Imboden, with such other aid as can be obtained, will be able speedily to rid that section of Country of the presence of the Enemy & prevent the oppression of the inhabitants which they seem to premeditate. I rely greatly upon the cooperation of yourself & Col. Imboden." Published in The War of the Rebellion, Series 1, Volume 21, p.1081. Not in The Wartime Papers of R.E. Lee.

[CIVIL WAR]. CDV of John Calvin Brown, Confederate general later elected governor of Tennessee. Nashville, TN: T.F. Saltsman, ca 1864. CDV on cardstock mount with photographer's imprint on verso. A war-date view of John Calvin Brown wearing a uniform that indicates this portrait was likely taken between August and December 1864, after Brown was wounded in action. John Calvin Brown (1827-1889) was a 34-year-old lawyer who opposed secession when he joined the Confederate Infantry in 1861. He was commissioned colonel of the 3rd Tennessee Infantry and was at the battle and surrender of Fort Donelson. He was a POW at some point before August 1862, when he was exchanged for Union soldier Hugh P. Kennedy of the 31st Pennsylvania Infantry. Promoted brigadier general in 1862, Brown participated in the battles of Perryville, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Franklin, where he was wounded leading his brigade. He was promoted major general in 1864, fought in the Atlanta Campaign and in the Carolinas, until he surrendered his forces at Bennett Place in April 1865. Following the war, Brown resumed practicing law and was elected Governor of Tennessee, serving from 1871 to 1875. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

MOSBY, JOHN S. (1833-1916). ALS to J. A. J. Cresswell. Warrenton, VA, 22 June 1873. Mosby explains his political predicament within Virginia's discordant postwar Republican Party. 6 pages, 7 5/8 x 10 in., on "Office of John S. Mosby, Attorney at Law" letterhead. Marked "Private" in Mosby's hand, upper left. Mosby undertakes to illuminate what he calls his "policy of trying to conciliate, through the judicious use of patronage, the best classes of the South into harmonious relations with the government." He writes that he has helped raise public sentiment in Virginia toward the Republican Administration, writing, " I never could have done this if I had in any way identified myself with the radical organization in Va. which is composed entirely of carpetbaggers and negroes." He positions himself between the rock and hard place of being a pro-Administration Republican stuck between the Radical and Conservative segments of the party in Virginia. He writes of a strategy of running an independent candidate in order to break up the Conservative organization "and out of its remains build up an Administrative party composed of and led by the best men in the state." He then very candidly characterizes the regional differences in the Party: "You must bear in mind the differences between the Republican party of the North composed of its best men and that of the South which is a mass of negroes led by a few adventurers." Mosby names several of the "best Republicans in the State" who agree with him that these unsavory "Republicans" are not worthy of being elected to power, including Senator (John F.) Lewis and Judge (John C.) Underwood; and he names (Robert William) Hughes as "the only obstacle to victory in this State for the Administration," as he is a secessionist who "knows he stands no chance of election; he only wants to run in order to make himself a martyr in order to be rewarded for it." John Andrew Jackson Creswell (1828-1891) was appointed Postmaster General of the United States by Ulysses S. Grant, serving in that capacity from 1869-1874. Though he was a Democrat in the 1850s, Creswell became a Radical Republican with the outbreak of the Civil War, working to prevent Maryland from seceding, helping to raise troops for the Union Army, and supporting Abraham Lincoln as a US Representative from 1863-1865. He even proposed a Constitutional amendment to ban slavery during his term. Creswell's name was mentioned as a possibility for the presidential or vice presidential nomination at the Republican Convention of 1868, though he did not end up being nominated. By the time he received Grant's appointment to Postmaster General, he was already an important and influential Republican, which explains Mosby's desire to relay to him the intricacies of Virginia's Republican Party. A fascinating glimpse into Virginia's postwar political landscape, with candid commentary showing the discord within the state's Republican Party. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

MOSBY, JOHN. S. (1833-1916). ALS to James Williamson. San Francisco, 16 March 1895. Mosby asks for an update on the publication of Williamson's book, Mosby's Rangers. One page, 8 x 9 5/8 in. Mosby expresses his gladness at receiving Williamson's letter and mentions that Ben Palmer showed him a letter from Williamson when Mosby was in Richmond last spring. He then inquires as to the publication date of Williamson's upcoming book: "I look for word to the publication of your book with great interest. When will it appear?" Mosby then responds to what were likely requests and questions from Williamson: listing the address of Lieutenant William L. Hunter and remarking that he has "never seen any picture of Tom Turner." James Joseph Williamson (1834-1915) James Joseph Williamson (1834-1915) served as a private in Company A of Mosby's cavalry regiment, giving him first-hand knowledge of the rangers' experience during the war. He kept a diary which proved helpful as he constructed his narrative account published in 1896, Mosby's Rangers: A Record of the Operations of the Forty-Third Battalion of Virginia Cavalry from its Organization to the Surrender. Williamson prefaced the book, in part: "The object of this work is to put in durable form a record of the exciting scenes and events in the career of Mosby's Rangers, in most of which I was an humble actor, and to preserve the memory of the gallant deeds of Colonel Mosby and his brave companions who shed their blood, and of our heroic dead who gave up their lives, in the cause for which we fought."

MOSBY, JOHN S. (1833-1916). ALS to James Williamson. [San Francisco], 3 May 1895. Mosby mentions the Greenback Raid and several Rangers by name. One page, 8 x 9 3/4 in. In response to Williamson's apparent inquiry, Mosby identifies Lieutenant Tom Turner, from Prince George County, MD, of Company A, as the man who was killed at Harper's Ferry. He also mentions that John G. Beckham of Company E, who he describes as "one of our best men," has just been nominated as Mayor of Alexandria, VA, and that "splendid soldier" John C. Kane of Company D, is now in Silverton, CO. He also notes that he wrote a description of the Greenback Raid, which might appear in a periodical he calls "the 'World.'" He then asks when Williamson's book will be published, and offers a word of advice: "If you write to Joe Nelson, Warrenton, & John H. Alexander Leesburg you could get their pictures. War pictures are the best." The Greenback Raid was an assault by Mosby's Rangers on a passenger train coming from Baltimore carrying German immigrants, other civilians, women, children, and Union soldiers on the night of 14 October 1864 in Jefferson County, WV. Most notably were two paymasters who were carrying $172,000 worth of paper "greenbacks," which the rangers violently seized. Mosby's men had torn nails from the railroad track, causing the train to topple when it reached that stretch at 2:30 AM. All told, two federal soldiers were killed, a woman was wounded, money was stolen, and the train was set on fire. James Joseph Williamson (1834-1915) James Joseph Williamson (1834-1915) served as a private in Company A of Mosby's cavalry regiment, giving him first-hand knowledge of the rangers' experience during the war.

MOSBY, JOHN S. (1833-1916). ALS to James Williamson. [San Francisco], 10 June [1895]. Mosby acknowledges the anniversary of his raid against Seneca, MD, and mentions some of his rangers by name. One page, 8 x 10 in. In part: "As I write this date I am reminded that it is the anniversary of the day I organized Co. A (1863) & I started on the raid? to Seneca, Md. Of course I intended for you to keep the picture. Who is to be your publisher? 'Once a Week' has an article of mine. A new life of Phil Sheridan has just appeared.

Va - Bob Chew - Charlestown, West Va - Charlie Dear, Washington, Va." On 10 June 1863, Mosby led one hundred men on a raid across the Potomac River to a Union camp at Seneca, Maryland. His band routed a company of the 6th Michigan Cavalry Regiment and burned their encampment. Mosby had nicknames for many of his close friends, including Thomas J. Sealock, who he called "Roderick Dhu," according to an article in the Alexandria Gazette dated 27 May 1885. Stacy Bispham is listed as one of the 99 of "Mosby's Men" featured in a photograph of the 3rd Reunion of the 43rd Battalion in Richmond, VA on 1 July 1896. James Chilton (1841-1905) was a Virginia lawyer who joined Mosby's 43rd Battalion in September of 1864. Charles Dear joined Mosby in 1863 when he was 16 years of age, and suffered numerous assorted wounds throughout the war, including at Mt. Carmel Church, the site of a fight between Mosby's Rangers and a detachment of the 14th PA Cavalry on 19 February 1865, which Mosby later called "the most brilliant thing my men ever did."

Lot: 370 - [CIVIL WAR]. TEBAULT, Dr. Christopher H. (1838-1914). Autograph manuscript "The Treatment of President of the Southern Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, as Federal Prisoner, And How He was Finally Liberated." New Orleans, 1905 and 1910.

[CIVIL WAR]. TEBAULT, Dr. Christopher H. (1838-1914). Autograph manuscript "The Treatment of President of the Southern Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, as Federal Prisoner, And How He was Finally Liberated." New Orleans, 1905 and 1910. Post-war manuscript report of the capture and imprisonment of Jefferson Davis written by Dr. Christopher H. Tebault, MD, Surgeon General of the United Confederate Veterans. 9pp, 8 1/2 x 11 in., on letterhead of "Headquarters / United Confederate Veteran, Surgeon General's Office" which identifies "C.H. Tebault, M.D., Surgeon General." Ink, with one page consisting of the title page of an article "The Shackling of Jefferson Davis" adhered to reverse of UCV letterhead. Manuscript prepared by Tebault for presentation at the 1905 UCV Reunion held in Louisville, Kentucky. The manuscript is not a firsthand account of Davis's imprisonment, but rather an analysis of the events related to the imprisonment as gathered and relayed from a variety of sources, in particular War of the Rebellion and a May 1905 Pearson's Magazine article titled "The Shackling of Jefferson Davis." Tebault quotes these sources within his manuscript, including footnotes for specific passages and references. Pages 1-8 were prepared for the 1905 presentation, with page 9 being related to the presentation of the same paper at the 1910 UCV Reunion in Mobile, Alabama. Tebault is not an unbiased reporter. Instead, his writings and arguments reflect the strong pro-Southern sentiment that permeated long after the end of the war. C.H. Tebault was born in Mississippi, attended Georgetown College in Washington, D.C., and received his M.D. from the Medical Department of the University of Louisiana, New Orleans (now Tulane University) in 1862. He would become one of the most well-known citizens of New Orleans. HDS indicates he enlisted as an assistant surgeon on 3/1/1862 and was commissioned into Field & Staff Louisiana 21st Infantry, with prior service after a June 1861 enlistment with the SC 10th Infantry (date and method discharge not given). In November 1862 he returned to the SC 10th. Later he reported to Quintard Hospital, Cleveland, TN, moved to the General Hospital, Albany, GA, moved to Ocmulgee Hospital, Macon, GA, was an assistant surgeon in Johnson's Corps, and eventually was paroled in 1865 by the U.S. Army. After the war he practiced medicine in New Orleans, serving as Health Officer for the city of New Orleans, a Professor of Diseases of Children, was visiting physician of a charity hospital, and he helped frame the law creating the State Board of Health. He died at his home in New Orleans in 1914, and is buried in Tomb of the Army of Tennessee, Louisiana Division, Metairie Cemetery. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Similar to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the C.S.A. Corps of Engineers played an important role in the Confederate States and in their prosecution of the Civil War. A West Point graduate, Walter Gwynn was one of the South's leading railroad construction engineers from the 1830s-1850s. He retired to Charleston, S.C. in 1857 and became a major of the engineers in the South Carolina militia. In May 1861 he was given the rank of major in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States of America and charged with constructing the batteries at various strategic Charleston points. He remained in the service of the Confederacy until 1863 rising to the rank of colonel. After the war, Gwynn returned to civil engineering in North Carolina.

Lot: 380 - [CIVIL WAR]. Soldier's letter written by Jacob Pyewell, Company I, 106th Pennsylvania Infantry, describing the Battle of Antietam. "Near Sharpsburg Maryl," 20 [September?] 1862.

[CIVIL WAR]. Soldier's letter written by Jacob Pyewell, Company I, 106th Pennsylvania Infantry, describing the Battle of Antietam. "Near Sharpsburg Maryl," 20 [September?] 1862. 4 pages, 4 7/8 x 7 7/8 in. Addressed to the writer's mother. Writing from "near Sharpsburg the place of the Big Battle," Pyewell reports: "I tell you we had a hot time of it here but thank God I got out all right safe and sound without a scratch there were none killed in our Company but there were severral wonded [sic] But none dangerously. Wm McNeel and Jas Taylor were bouth [sic] wonded but from what I can learn not dangerously." Unfortunately, Pyewell was incorrect on the last assessment, as Corporal William McNeal, Company C, was listed as KIA at Antietam, 17 September 1862. Widening his lens to the regiment, Pyewell writes: "There were a great many out of our Ridgement [sic] killed & wonded John McLughlin [sic] the man that use to drive Marshall Garrett wagon was killed and also old Farridy son the ice man son." John McLaughlin, Company E, was listed as KIA at Antietam, 17 September 1862. Describing the battle, he writes: "I tell you we had a hot time of it here. The bullets wissed [sic] thick around us. I hope this will be the last of the fighting. I tell you it is awfull [sic] to think[?] and see the men getting killed of [sic] so our Col. Horse was shot from under him and also our adgutant [sic] horse I tell you it was awfull this will be and [sic] awfull blow to the Rebels I bet they regreted [sic] the day that they ever crossed into Maryland. I tell you the dead are lying thick on the field..." Turner Gustavus Morehead (1814-1892) was commissioned Colonel of the 106th Pennsylvania on 28 August 1861, leading that regiment into the battle at Antietam the following year. He is remembered for his refusal to surrender, and received a brevet to brigadier general near the war's end. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 381 - [CIVIL WAR]. Soldier's letter describing a "narrow escape" from death. "Near Sharpsburg Maryland," 20 September 1862.

[CIVIL WAR]. Soldier's letter describing a "narrow escape" from death. "Near Sharpsburg Maryland," 20 September 1862. 3 pages, 5 x 8 in. Addressed to the writer's mother. The writer first informs his mother that he is in good health, although "we have had very bad times sine I wrote last it has been nothing but fighting and marching..." He expresses his gratefulness to God that he and his brother James are safe. He goes on to describe his near-death experience, writing: "I have had a narrow escape last Sunday while we was laying in a corn field supporting a battery a spent grape shot fell and struck me on the back of my neck I thought my whole head was taken off I put up my hand and found it their [sic] yet it was not so bad as I thought it was it only swelled my neck a little for a while..." Turning to what he calls "glorious news," he reports: "we have drove [sic] the rebbles [sic] out of Maryland with terrible loss thay [sic] are pretty well played out dear mother...something seemes [sic] to tell me that the war is near over it can't last much longer for england and france wount [sic] alow [sic] it a few more weeks..." The letter is signed "William Simonson," and refers to a brother with whom he appears to be in close contact as James. None of the HDS results for either William Simonson or James Simonson revealed a regiment with both names on its roster. Notably, a James H. Simonson of the 79th New York Infantry was engaged at Antietam, and James H. Simonson is reported as having deserted there, on 20 September 1862, the same day this letter was written. We cannot confirm, however, that this is the "James" who is reported as being safe and "sends his love" in the letter featured here. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Included are soldier's letters written from the hospital, hospital ephemera, and a group of letters written by author Sarah Chauncey Woolsey who served as a nurse at Portsmouth Grove. Ephemera includes: "A List of Mess Hall Diet for one week" which identifies "Breakfast," "Dinner," and "Supper" for Lovell Hospital, 1p, 7 3/4 x 7 1/4 in. in unknown hand. A typical meal plan for the day is constituted by "Cold beef, / bread & coffee" for breakfast, "Beans, / bread & cold water" for dinner, and "Rice & Moleyses, / bread & tea" for supper. -- "List of articles contained in a box sent by the Ashaway Soldier's Aid Society to Lovell Hospital Portsmouth Grove Aug 10th 1864."

Lot: 386 - [CIVIL WAR]. The Palmer family archive discussing politics, Civil War substitutes, and business matters, 1850-1868.

[CIVIL WAR]. The Palmer family archive discussing politics, Civil War substitutes, and business matters, 1850-1868. Archive consisting of 15 letters, some with original covers, spanning 1850-1868. Various places, letters of various lengths and ranging in size from 5 x 8 in. - 7 3/4 x 12 1/2 in. Correspondents are predominantly members of the Palmer family, descendants of Noyes Wheeler Palmer (1790-1869) of Stonington, Connecticut, and include Noyes W. Palmer's sons Noyes Stanton Palmer (1826-1891) of New York, Henry Martyn Palmer (1829-1904) of Connecticut, and Franklin Wheeler Palmer (1845-1926) of Rhode Island. Other likely Palmer family members represented in the collection are Thomas Palmer of New York, possibly another son of Noyes W. Palmer, and the Honorable J.C. Palmer of Hartford, CT., possibly a banker (or Pres. of the Sharp's Rifle Co. ?). Letters discuss a mix of family news, business matters, the Civil War, the 1868 election, and other miscellaneous content. The earliest 4 letters in the collection are addressed to the Hon. J.C. Palmer from Leonard Case in Cleveland, Ohio, and relate to banking and financial matters. A Charles Leavitt of Cleveland, Ohio, writes to H.M. Palmer in December 1863, also related to business matters, and in 1864 Charles S. Shore writes to H.M. Palmer from new London regarding business affairs. Noyes S. Palmer writes 3 war-date letters to his brother Henry, discussing war matters including getting a substitute. The youngest brother "Frank" writes 5 post-war (1868-1869) letters to his father with content about the upcoming 1868 election, and other personal matters. A particularly interesting letter in the archive is written by Thomas to "Dear Brother" (seemingly Noyes S. in New York), and describes his work as a cattleman at a time when the cattle drives of the west were as yet in relative infancy, "...we have 111 head of cattle & 2 horses our cattle are most all good ones as we had a week the start to select the best bargains...cattle are worth something out here but whether we can get the money back for them in coin remains to be seen...." These Palmer family members were likely descendants of Walter Palmer, who arrived in the colonies in 1629. A small archive with research potential. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

A satirical political cartoon broadside. "Davis, saying, 'I want to be let alone,' on 'Secession Trap' of gallows; around his neck, rope hanging from beam to which is fastened 'Letter of Marque.' Toombs, Beauregard, Stephens and Pickens express their dismay, Stephens saying, 'I prophesied in November that Secession would be the death of us.'"

[CIVIL WAR]. Interview between Sherman & Johnson [sic]. Philadelphia: P.S. Duval & Son, Lith., [1865]. 6 3/4 x 10 1/8 in. broadside lithograph. Peter Stephen Duval's depiction of General Joe Johnston's surrender of his army to General Sherman on 18 April 1865. EXTREMELY RARE: OCLC locates one institutional copy. "Sherman studies the surrender terms as his vanquished opponent, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, waits with evident unease in this rare depiction of the meeting at the Bennett House in Durham, North Carolina. The print erred in showing the principals with their staffs; Sherman remembered that 'we were alone together.' Unlike Appomattox, the Bennett House surrender quickly had a shadow cast over it when the War Department disallowed Sherman's terms, and this scene never rivalled the meeting of Lee and Grant in iconographic memory." [Neely and Holzer, The Union Image: Popular Prints of the Civil War North. UNC Press: 2000. Page 194, Figure 98]. In our copy, the face of the man standing behind Sherman differs slightly from the Neely-Holzer illustration. "Peter Stephen Duval, the most prominent Philadelphia lithographer of the 19th-century, was born ca 1804/1805 in France. He emigrated from France to Philadelphia in the fall of 1831 to accept a job as a lithographer with the printing firm of Childs & Inman. By 1837 he had established his own lithographic printing shop and remained in business until his retirement in 1869." (Information obtained online, Library Company article on Duval.)

[AFRICAN AMERICANA]. Wood molding plane made by Cesar Chelor (ca 1720-1784), the earliest documented African American planemaker in North America. Wrentham, Massachusetts. Ca 1750s-1780s. Basic wood molding plane, yellow birch wood, approx. 9 3/4 in. length, 2 3/4 in. height (without wedge), 1 in. width at widest point, and 6 1/2 in. wedge. Components appear original. Wedge properly fitted to the mortise, throat widened. Toe with maker's mark "CE Chelor / Wrentham." Provenance: Consignor relates plane was purchased from renowned collector Norm Flayderman as part of a larger group of early planes from coastal Maine. Cesar Chelor was an African American woodworker enslaved by the earliest documented Colonial American planemaker, Francis Nicholson (1683-1753). At a time when tradesmen relied heavily on English tool imports, woodworkers such as Nicholson began to specialize in the production of planes. Nicholson trained both his son and Chelor in the trade. When Nicholson died in 1753, he emancipated Chelor, providing him with land and tools which allowed Chelor to live independently and enter the planemaking business: "As to my Negroman Caesar Chelo[r] considering his faithful service, his tender care, & kind & Christian carriage I do set him free to act for himself in the world & I do will and bequeath to him...his bench & common bench tools, a set of chisels, one vice, one sithe & tackling & ten acres of land to be set to him at the end of my woodland...." Chelor worked independently as a successful planemaker for the next 31 years, signing his planes with various marks such "CE Chelor / Wrentham." Chelor it seems became a welcome and respected part of the Wrentham community. He was welcomed as a full member of the Congregational Church in 1741. In 1758 he married Juda Russell, and the couple had eight children. Chelor died in Wrentham in 1784, and is recognized today as one of the most prolific planemakers of the 18th century. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Lot: 446 - [SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. Bills of sale for African Americans enslaved by Thomas Dixon (1815-1879), Sheriff of Macon County, Georgia.

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. Bills of sale for African Americans enslaved by Thomas Dixon (1815-1879), Sheriff of Macon County, Georgia. A group of 8 manuscript bills of sale, spanning ca 1850-1855, all recording payment from Thomas Dixon to various enslavers for the purchase of enslaved men, women, and children. The earliest document bears the pencil notation "1850" which was seemingly added at a later date, but the others record specific dates along with the name, gender, and price paid. Among the enslaved persons identified are "Loocy" age fourteen, "Jane" about ten years old, "Jim" about twenty-one years, "Harriet about fourteen years of age," "Dinah, aged seventeen," "Eugene infant," and "Rachel" age 40. The bills of sale together document that Dixon purchased at least twelve enslaved persons for a total of nearly $9,000 over the five year period. [With:] State of Georgia land grant plat for "two hundred two and a half acres" in the county of Muscogee which were surveyed on 4 December 1826. -- A Georgia bill of exchange for $3,000, Mason County, 23 April 1834. -- Manuscript eulogy for "Bro. Thomas Dixon," n.d. [ca 1879], signed "Pastor." -- A newspaper clipping, [1879], relaying news of the death of "Mr. Thomas Dixon." -- Two warranty deeds, dated 1908 and 1919, respectively, one transferring property to "Thos. A. Dixon," presumably a descendant of Thomas Dixon (1815-1879). According to the manuscript obituary which accompanies the bills of sale, Thomas Dixon "started life a poor boy" when he was born in North Carolina, and relocated to Macon County, Georgia, in 1827, perhaps taking advantage of land made available by the forcible removal of the Cherokee Indians. Georgia newspapers from the 1840s and 1850s indicate that Dixon became involved in local government, assuming the roles of constable, deputy sheriff, and sheriff for Macon County. The 1850 U.S. Federal Census Slave Schedule indicates that Dixon enslaved one woman, age 27, yet by 1860 the U.S. Census indicates that he enslaved 18 men, women, and children. The bills of sale offered here, which all date to the 1850s, coincide with the dates from the Slave Schedules, demonstrating an apparent increase in Dixon's wealth during the 1850s which was utilized, at least in part, to enslave more African Americans. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Sandford is now considered by many legal scholars to be the worst ever rendered by the Supreme Court, and inevitably helped propel the divided nation closer to the Civil War.

The election was held on 5 November 1872, when more than 440,000 New Yorkers voted in favor of Ulysses S. Grant through the US Electoral College system. Frederick Douglass was one of those electors. The Republican Party made clear the importance of Black voters by the positioning of Douglass's name at the top of the ticket, and later by the selection of Douglass as the person to present the election results to the Senate. The significance of this was not lost on Douglass, who wrote about it in his autobiography: "The Republicans of [New York], not having the fear of popular prejudice before their eyes, placed my name as an elector at large at the head of their presidential ticket. Considering the deep-rooted sentiment of the masses against Negroes, the noise and tumult likely to be raised, especially among our adopted citizens of Irish descent, this was a bold and manly proceeding, and one for which the Republicans of the State of New York deserve the gratitude of every colored citizen of the Republic, for it was a blow at popular prejudice in a quarter where it was capable of making the strongest resistance.."

BULLOCK, Tom. (ca 1872-1964) The Ideal Bartender. [St. Louis: Buxton & Skinner,] 1917. FIRST EDITION. The first bartender’s book ever published by an African American author. Small 8vo. Introduction by George Herbert Walker (1875-1953, grandfather and great-grandfather to Presidents Bush, both named in his honor). Original gilt pictorial red cloth. FIRST EDITION. The first bartender’s book ever published by an African American author. Tom Bullock, born in Louisville, Kentucky, worked at several clubs, notably the St. Louis Country Club. The book is introduced by an excerpt from a 1913 St. Louis Post Dispatch article regarding Theodore Roosevelt’s reputation for sobriety and temperance. He claims to have only sipped part of one of Bullock’s mint juleps. The skeptical author responds, “Who was ever known to drink just a part of one of Tom’s? Tom, than whom there is no greater mixologist of any race, color or condition of servitude...To believe that a red-blooded man, and a true Colonel at that, ever stopped with just a part of one of those refreshments ...is to strain credulity too far...When the Colonel says that he consumed just a part of one he doubtless meant that he did not swallow the mint itself, munch the ice and devour the very cup.” Bullock’s julep recipes are shared, with both a “Kentucky Style” and an “Overall Julep - St. Louis Style” included. Published in 1917, The Ideal Bartender has become a treasured resource for pre-Prohibition cocktails and ingredients. Very scarce with very few copies ever coming to the market. OCLC notes only 12 copies in libraries. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

New York: Eisenmann, ca 1890s. 3 3/4 x 5 3/8 in. albumen photograph on cardstock mount with Eisemann's gilt imprint on recto and period inked identification, "Millie - Christine," on verso. The sisters appear in identical striped dresses, standing in a studio next to a pillar. Born into enslavement on a plantation in southeastern North Carolina, the conjoined twins were sold several times while children and abducted twice by people looking to exploit them. Eventually, they came to be enslaved by Joseph Smith who toured the sisters through the United States, Canada, and Europe. They were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation and continued to tour internationally. The talented singers were successful enough to purchase the property where they were born and build a grand home where they lived until their death. In early October 1912, Millie died after contracting tuberculosis. Christine was unable to be safely separated and died the next day. Though they had separate personalities, they were often referred to with one name, "Millie-Christine" and are themselves quoted as saying, "Although we speak of ourselves in the plural, we feel as but one person."

[MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT]. The Beatles Yesterday And Today, first state mono "Butcher" album unsealed but with original shrinkwrap. Beatles album cover approx. 12 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. (some soiling and bumping to edges and corners, unsealed yet with original shrinkwrap present). Vinyl record and original sleeve included (working condition unknown). Released in 1966, the Beatles' studio album Yesterday and Today was the group's ninth album issued with Capitol Records. The controversial original cover image, seen here, features the members of the band posing with large pieces of raw meat and baby doll parts, including heads without bodies and bodies without heads. Fittingly, this cover became widely referred to as the "butcher cover." Reception to the cover from distributors and retailers was hostile, with many citing concern about how the image, apparently originally intended as "'pop art' satire," might be interpreted, leading Capitol Records to recall the album and reissue it with a new cover design. New cover slicks were printed, and in some cases the original slicks were removed and replaced with the new ones, but in many other cases, the new slicks were simply pasted over top of the originals. This has led to the existence of 4 different versions, or "states" of the album on the market today: original issues that were never replaced or pasted over, issues with the new slick pasted over the original, issues that had the new slick pasted over the original and then removed or "peeled" somewhere along the line, and finally issues that have only ever had the new slick attached. The most desirable version is the first, also known as a "First State" issue, which is the version featured in this lot. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Often made for a soldier by a mother, wife, sister or sweetheart, these smaller flags were carried by soldiers in pocket bibles as a reminder of loved ones at home.

Lot: 535 - [FIREFIGHTING]. A fireman's "Protector" belt, ca late 1840s-1860s.

[FIREFIGHTING]. A fireman's "Protector" belt, ca late 1840s-1860s. Tarred leather waist belt, 1 3/4 in. width, approx. 32 in. length including plate, with cast gilt brass interlocking tongue and wreath waist belt plate featuring a patriotic spread winged eagle with star in shield (O'Donnell & Campbell, American Military Belt Plates, Plate 329). Stenciled red and gold capital letters on back of belt, "PROTECTOR. 1." O'Donnell & Campbell date this pattern plate to ca 1845-1860, noting that it was “worn extensively by independent companies, bands and firemen during the 1840s and 1850s” and was particularly prevalent in Massachusetts and greater New England. “Protector. 1” almost certainly identifies a specific fire company. Multiple nineteenth-century sources identify fire companies with the word "Protector" as a portion of the engine company name, including a Kelloggs & Comstock lithograph titled "Protector Engine No. 2," ca 1848-1849, showing four firefighers on a sidewalk, each wearing a shield with the words "Protector / 2" and showing a hand-pumped fire engine also with the word "Protector" engraved on the tank (Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, Object No. 1957.65.30).

Lot: 537 - CLINTON, George (1739-1812). Council of Revision document twice-signed ("Geo. Clinton"), as Governor of New York, 15 July 1789.

CLINTON, George (1739-1812). Council of Revision document twice-signed ("Geo. Clinton"), as Governor of New York, 15 July 1789. 2pp, 8 1/8 x 12 3/4 in. Laid paper with watermark similar to Gravell, Miller, & Walsh Figure 887. Council of Revision document with first paragraph: "The Council object against the Bill entitled 'An Act presenting the manner of holding elections' for Senators to represent this State in the Senate of the United States being [?] a law inconsistent with the public good." The remainder of the document elaborates on the two objections of the Council followed by the signature of George Clinton, below which appears Clinton's signed order that the said bill with a copy of the preceding objections are delivered to the honorable assembly by W. Justice Yates. An Anti-Federalist and Founding Father, George Clinton served as Governor of New York from 1777-1795 and 1801-1804. As governor he was simultaneously a part of the Council of Revision, a legal body formed in 1777 under provisions of the Constitution of the State of New York and which was tasked with revising all new legislation made by the New York State Legislature. The document offered here relates to the July 1789 United States Senate election in New York, the first such election. Prior to the election, however, the New York State Legislature had to establish the proceedings on how to elect the senators. To that end, in February and March 1789, the 12th New York State Legislature debated at length "An act for prescribing the times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators of the United States of America, to be chosen in this State" but they adjourned on March 3, 1789, without having elected U.S. Senators. On June 4, 1789, Governor George Clinton called an extra session of the State Legislature to convene on July 6 at City Hall in Albany, New York. The 13th New York State Legislature convened on July 6, and on July 11 passed "An act directing the manner of electing Senators to represent this State in the Senate of the United States," which required the election to be made by "concurrent vote" of both houses of the Legislature. On July 13, the law was submitted to the Council of Revision. On July 15, the Council objected to the law in two points as identified in this document. Ultimately, on July 16, after the Council of Revision had vetoed the law, State Senator Philip Schuyler and Assemblyman Rufus King were appointed to the U.S. Senate by a joint resolution of both houses of the New York State Legislature. New York was tremendously influential in the politics of the early republic, and was the battleground of a fiercely competitive political environment. A fascinating document illustrating the process by which a state, and indeed a new nation, determined the electoral process.

This newspaper contains page 2 “breaking news” of Thomas Jefferson being elected US President by a vote in the US House of Representatives in the contested election of 1800 that was portrayed in the Broadway show Hamilton. Ink identified to original owner in top margin. At the end of a long and bitter campaign in the Presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr each won 73 electoral votes, Adams won 65, and Pinckney won 64. The Democratic-Republicans' assumption that one or more electors in Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, Georgia, Kentucky, or Tennessee would vote for Jefferson and not Burr resulted in a tie, known as the Burr dilemma. It necessitated a contingent election in the House of Representatives. Under the terms laid out in the Constitution, the outgoing House of Representatives chose between Jefferson and Burr. Burr was accused of campaigning for the presidency himself in the contingent election despite being a member of Jefferson's party. Each state delegation cast one vote, and a victory in the contingent election required one candidate to win a majority of the state delegations. Neither Burr nor Jefferson was able to win on the first 35 ballots of the contingent election, as most Federalist representatives backed Burr and all Democratic-Republican representatives backed Jefferson. Hamilton favored Jefferson over Burr, and he convinced several Federalists to switch their support to Jefferson, giving Jefferson a victory on the 36th ballot. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Written in a calligraphic hand, this letter to the President of the Republic of Chile acknowledges the receipt of a letter "announcing that the legal authority had been restored throughout the territory of the Republic, and that the Council of the Government had established itself at the Capital." He then reciprocates an assurance that it is the desire and intention of the United States Government to have friendly relations between it and the Republic of Chile, and notes that aid will be given to that end. 1891 was a year of tumult in Chile, as a civil war raged from January to September between forces supporting President José Manuel Balmaceda (1840-1891), and forces supporting the Congressional Junta. Jorge Montt Álvarez (1845-1922) quickly emerged as a leader of the Congressional party, having been appointed commander of the navy and leading a fleet against the president from the armored frigate Blanco Enclada. Álvarez emerged from the hostilities as provisional leader, and then president of Chile, serving from 1891-1896.

Countersigned by Secretary of State John Sherman. Addressed to his "Great and Good Friend," President McKinley's letter announces his chosen Minister Plenipotentiary to Chile, Henry L. Wilson, asserting: "He is well informed of the relative interests of the two countries and of our sincere desire to cultivate to the fullest extent the friendship which has so long subsisted between the two Governments." President McKinley then requests that President Errázuriz Echaurren "receive [Wilson] favorably and to give full credence to what he shall say on the part of the United States and to the assurances which I have charged him to convey to you of the best wishes of this Government for the prosperity of Chile." Henry Lane Wilson (1857-1932) served as Minister to Chile from 1897-1904, Minister to Belgium from 1905-1909, and Ambassador to Mexico from 1909-1913. His notorious involvement in the February 1913 coup d'etat in Mexico, resulting in the assassination of the Mexican President and Vice President, caused President Woodrow Wilson to recall him from his post as Ambassador.

Jennings famously declared his position in a speech at the 1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, "you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." With McKinley's victory, the gold standard was maintained. This lot is located in Philadelphia.

According to Paul Beckwith's "Creoles of St. Louis" (St. Louis, 1893), Dubreuil came to St. Louis in 1765, the year after the city's founding, and married Susanne Santous (sometimes Susanne de Saintous de Bayonne), daughter of John Santous and Sabada Tuyaret, in 1772. Dubreuil was a prominent and influential figure in early St. Louis, as well as a prosperous trader. When he died in 1794, he left behind his wife, two sons, and nine daughters. Susanne Santous Dubreuil (1755-1825) died thirty years later in 1825, the year prior to this notice of the sale of her "Valuable Real Estate." This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Original brown cloth portfolio, gilt titles to front board. Imprint to lower margin. MUYBRIDGE'S 360-DEGREE PANORAMIC VIEW OF SAN FRANCISCO. Often referred to as the "Patrician's View" of San Francisco. Muybridge captured the stunning views of the city from the observation turret in the unfinished mansion of Central Pacific Railroad tycoon, Mark Hopkins. He along with the other extravagantly wealthy men behind the CPRR, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Collis Potter Huntington, had built mansions near one another on California Street Hill (later Nob Hill). New York Historical Society curator Wendy Ikemoto observes: “Hopkins and Crocker both had panoramic observation towers built into their mansions, and Stanford had panoramic windows built. So, the panorama is in some ways the vision of a commercial king—a vision of monopoly, power, and control. And yet, Muybridge presents the opposite: The city is empty and desolate, and everything seems still. There are all these strange little interruptions to the sense of omnipotence that you would normally associate with a panorama.” Howes M-926; Mitchell, Kerrie.

Uncredited, but with red ink identification to mount verso: "1901 Judge Roy Bean & Cheed Bond - 16 Langtry Texas." Another known photograph of Bean (not included here) on what appears to be this same porch shows signage promoting Bean's services as Justice of the Peace and "Law Wes of the Pecos." Consignor relates that Roy's brother was named Joshua Bean, and he became the first mayor of San Diego, however, Joshua Bean was killed in 1852, so it is unlikely that the man featured in the photograph is Joshua Bean. Consignor also relates that Cheed Bond was a railroad worker. Provenance: Descended in the family of a railroad worker whose family lived in Langtry and became friends with Judge Roy Bean (consignor's note). Roy Bean (1827-1903) had a colorful military and frontier career, culminating in his opening of his saloon near San Antonio, in a town that came to be called Vinegaroon, Texas. Bean renamed it Langtry, and from the "Jersey Lilly" meted out his version of frontier justice. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

At that time, California was undergoing significant social and economic change, and he became a folk symbol of resistance. The manhunt leading to the capture and execution of Vasquez was widely publicized. A posse sent by LA County Sherriff William R. Rowland was sent to a ranch where Vasquez had been hiding, and he was captured on 14 May 1874. He was remanded to San Jose for trial, convicted, and hanged by longtime sheriff John Hicks Adams on 9 March 1875. This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Partial issue covering the shooting of Virgil Earp. 2pp. (pages 1-2 present, lacking pages 3-4), 23 3/4 x 18 in. Page 2 of this rare newspaper from America's most famous frontier town contains coverage of the shooting of Virgil Earp, the brother of famed Tombstone Marshall Wyatt Earp, in the aftermath of the gunfight at the OK Corral. Virgil Walter Earp (1843-1905) was an American lawman who served as both US Marshal and Tombstone, Arizona, City Marshal from 1879-1881. Tensions between Virgil Earp and his famous brothers, Wyatt and Morgan, and outlaw "Cowboys" would soon culminate at the 26 October 1881 Gunfight at the OK Corral. Two months after that infamous shootout, on 28 December 1881, Virgil Earp would be ambushed by members of the Cowboys and severely wounded. The Cowboys suspected were let off for lack of evidence. Virgil's brother Morgan Earp was assassinated in March 1882. Charges against those suspected were dismissed on a technicality. Wyatt Earp, appointed as deputy US Marshal to replace Virgil, concluded he could not rely on civil justice and decided to take matters into his own hands. He assembled a federal posse that included their brother Warren Earp and set out on a vendetta to apprehend and kill those they felt were responsible. This lot is located in Cincinnati.
