    Transcripts of Letters in Maine Voices from the Civil War

    Transcripts of letters in Maine Voices from the Civil War The following documents have been transcribed as closely as possible to the way that they were written. Misspelled words, length of line, creative use of grammar follow the usage in the documents. Text in [brackets] are inserted or inferred by the transcriber. If they are accompanied by a question mark, it represents the transcribers best guess at the text. Most of the documents are from Maine State Museum (MSM) collections. The MSM number is our accession number. Items from other institutions are located at the end of the document. Those institutions include the Maine State Archives and the National Archives. More information about Maine State Archives documents can be found by searching their website using the writer’s name: http://www.maine.gov/sos/arc/sesquicent/civilwarwk.shtml Samuel Cony to Mrs. Elizabeth B. Leppien MSM 00.38.3 STATE OF MAINE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Augusta, December 12, 1865. MRS. ELIZABETH B. LEPPIEN: Madam,—Your note of the 9th instant, announcing your pur- pose to present to the State of Maine the sword of your son, Lieut. Col. George F. Leppien, of the 1st Maine Light Artillery, is received. Be pleased to acdept my thanks in behalf of the Stte therefor. This sword, when received, shall be placed in the archives of the State, and preserved as a memento of that gallant young man who sacrificed his life upon the alter of his country. Col. Leppien, was neither a son or citizen of the State, except by adoption, but we nevertheless feel that he belongs to Maine, whose commission he bore with high honor to himself and to her.

    Source Labels - Slavery and Maine

    Source Labels - Slavery and Maine- Source 1- Document Runaway Advertisements Boston News-Letter, December 10, 1705. P.4 Boston News-Letter, April 22, 1706. P.4 Images from: https://stirlingcentrescottishstudies.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/john-campbell-and-the- runaway-slave-advertisement These two newspaper clippings are from the advertisement section in a 1705 edition of the Boston News-Letter. The first tells the public to be on the lookout for two missing people who were traveling together. Peter was an enslaved black man whose master was “William Pepperil” (his name seems to be misspelled) and Issaac Pummatick was a Native American who was in the British military or navy. They somehow came together and escaped in 1705. Another newspaper clipping over a year a later says that both men were caught and returned to their “owner.” They made it all the way from Kittery in the Province of Maine to South Carolina before they were caught. Isaac Pummatick may have been Wabanaki, though the clipping doesn’t provide his tribal identity. It may seem strange that he was running away, since he was not enslaved. It seems like he ran away from either the British navy or military (“Her Majesties Service”). In 1705, “Her Majesty” was England’s Queen Anne. Men were sometimes conscripted, meaning they were forced to fight for England whether they wanted to or not. It is interesting that the men ran south, instead of north, where later generations of enslaved people would seek freedom. Southern plantations and farms were especially known for their brutal treatment.
