Otsuki, Gentaku and Hiroyuki Shimura: Kankai Ibun. [ Japan]. 1807. Managing the New York Budget, 1702 1. Abeel, Johannes: [AUTOGRAPH LETTER, SIGNED, FROM JOHN ABEEL TO EDWARD HYDE, VISCOUNT CORNBURY AND COLONIAL GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, REGARDING PAY FOR ARMY PERSONNEL]. Albany. June 2, 1702. [2]pp. plus integral address leaf. Folio. Old fold lines. Light soiling, some bleedthrough of ink. Later ownership ink stamp on verso of address leaf. Very good. Albany official Johannes Abeel (signed as John Abeel) writes to colonial gover- nor Edward Hyde regarding payments made according to Hyde’s orders. Abeel (1667-1711) was an Albany native who held various local offices, including mayor of Albany. In 1702, Abeel was serving as recorder for the city, which is likely why he was responsible for overseeing the dispersal of payments. Hyde was colonial governor of New York and New Jersey from 1701 to 1708, during which time he proved an unpopular administrator both in the colonies and at home in England. Abeel’s letter lists those persons to whose companies he made payment (the errors are his own): I have payd according your Excellencys order to Matthew Shanke Lieut. of Col. Richard Ingoldsby’s companee four weeks subsistance commencin from the ninth day of May to the sixth day of June according to the role deliver to mee, for 3 lieut, 3 sergt, 3 corprall, 2 drums & 85 private men the sum of ninty pound ninten schill. & eight pens; and to Henry Hollind lieut of Capt James Weemes compn. for 1 capt, 2 lieut, 3 sergt, 3 corprll., 2 drums & 88 privat men the sum of ninete five pound seventeen schill. & 2 pens.... He includes a postscript note in which he indicates that his wife wishes both the governor and his lady well. A scarce and early colonial document dealing with administrative affairs and defense on the frontier. $1750. From One President to Another 2. Adams, John Quincy: [AUTOGRAPH LETTER, SIGNED, FROM JOHN QUINCY ADAMS TO JAMES MADISON, SENDING THE FORMER PRESIDENT WARM REGARDS AND ADAMS’ RE- CENTLY PUBLISHED PAMPHLET]. Washington. Oct. 11, 1822. 1p. Minor toning, old folds, two separation neatly mended, tipped to a larger sheet. Very good. A warm and conciliatory letter from a future president of the United States to a former president. During his time as Secretary of State under Monroe, Adams writes to Madison at Montpelier. The letter reads, in full: Dear Sir, In requesting your acceptance of the copy herewith transmitted of a Collection of Documents recently published by me, I think it necessary to ask of your indulgence to overlook that part of it which is personally controversial. The transactions to which it relates having occurred during your Administra- tion and the discussion involving in some degree principles and measures sanctioned by you, I have thought they would not be without interest to you, on that account, as well as because they are of no inconsiderable moment to the permanent welfare of the Union. I have much satisfaction also in being thus offered the occasion of tendering anew the grateful sense I entertain of that public confidence with which you honour’d me at a time when, as now appears, there were not wanting efforts then unknown to me to shake it. I remain with great Respect, Dear Sir, your very faithful and humble Servt. John Quincy Adams. The “Collection of Documents” to which Adams refers is The Duplicate Letters, the Fisheries and the Mississippi. Documents Relating to Transactions at the Negotiation of Ghent (Washington, 1822; Shoemaker 7740). “This pamphlet was an answer to an attack on Adams by Jonathan Russell over proposals made during the Anglo- American negotiations at Ghent on the subject of the navigation of the Mississippi River. Adams’s rebuke was so overwhelmingly successful that thereafter to destroy someone’s reputation before the public was known as to ‘jonathanrussell’ someone” (founders.archive.gov/documents/Madison/04-02-02-0506). Madison would have been keenly interested in the work, which did indeed discuss many policies and decisions of his administration. The present letter was previously sold at Parke- Bernet on Nov. 13, 1968, lot 4. THE PAPERS OF JAMES MADISON, RETIREMENT SERIES 2:586-587. $11,000. Presentation Copy from Adams 3. Adams, John Quincy: ORATION ON THE LIFE AND CHARAC- TER OF GILBERT MOTIER DE LAFAYETTE. DELIVERED AT THE REQUEST OF BOTH HOUSES OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, BEFORE THEM, IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT WASHINGTON, ON THE 31st DE- CEMBER, 1834. Washington: Printed by Gales and Seaton, 1835. 94pp. Contemporary red straight-grained morocco, ruled in gilt, spine elaborately gilt. Slight darkening to boards, but a near fine copy. In a red half morocco and cloth box. A copy of Adams’ speech honoring the memory of Revolutionary War hero Marquis de Lafayette. This copy is in a presentation binding of red straight-grained morocco, of the sort favored by the Adams family for decades, and is printed on thick paper. John Quincy Adams devoted his entire career to government service. The son of President John Adams, he himself served as the sixth president, as a U.S. Senator from 1803 to 1808, as Secretary of State from 1817 to 1825, and in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1831 until his death in the U.S. Capitol in 1848. Presented to Isaac McKim (1775-1838), who served as aide-de-camp to Gen. Samuel Smith during the War of 1812 and was involved in the defense of Baltimore. When Gen. Smith resigned from Congress to take a seat in the Senate, McKim was elected to fill the vacancy. McKim served in the House of Representatives as a Congressman from Maryland from 1823 to 1825 and from 1833 to 1838. He temporarily left national politics to become a director of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from 1827 to 1831, and he was an officer of the American Society for Colonizing the Free People of Color of the United States. Adams provides a review of Lafayette’s contributions to American independence and his activities in the decades after the Revolutionary War, particularly his involve- ment in the French Revolution and various French governments which followed. In this brief biography, Adams reflects “upon the life and character of a man whose life was, for nearly threescore years, the history of the civilized world – of a man, of whose character, to say that it is indissolubly identified with the Revolution of our Independence, is little more than to mark the features of his childhood – of a man, the personified image of self-circumscribed liberty.” An eight-page appendix records Congressional actions related to the death of Lafayette.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • AMERICAN MANHOOD in the CIVIL WAR ERA a Dissertation Submitted
    UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael E. DeGruccio _________________________________ Gail Bederman, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana July 2007 UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA Abstract by Michael E. DeGruccio This dissertation is ultimately a story about men trying to tell stories about themselves. The central character driving the narrative is a relatively obscure officer, George W. Cole, who gained modest fame in central New York for leading a regiment of black soldiers under the controversial General Benjamin Butler, and, later, for killing his attorney after returning home from the war. By weaving Cole into overlapping micro-narratives about violence between white officers and black troops, hidden war injuries, the personal struggles of fellow officers, the unbounded ambition of his highest commander, Benjamin Butler, and the melancholy life of his wife Mary Barto Cole, this dissertation fleshes out the essence of the emergent myth of self-made manhood and its relationship to the war era. It also provides connective tissue between the top-down war histories of generals and epic battles and the many social histories about the “common soldier” that have been written consciously to push the historiography away from military brass and Lincoln’s administration. Throughout this dissertation, mediating figures like Cole and those who surrounded him—all of lesser ranks like major, colonel, sergeant, or captain—hem together what has previously seemed like the disconnected experiences of the Union military leaders, and lowly privates in the field, especially African American troops.

  • The Battle of Fort Sumter
    Task- Read the article & answer the analysis questions The Battle of Fort Sumter Fort Sumter by Unknown The Battle of Fort Sumter was the first battle of the American Civil War and signaled the start of the war. It took place over two days from April 12–13, 1861. Where is Fort Sumter? Fort Sumter is on an island in South Carolina not far from Charleston. Its main purpose was to guard Charleston Harbor. Who were the leaders in the battle? The main commander from the North was Major Robert Anderson. Even though he lost the Battle of Fort Sumter he became a national hero following the battle. He was even promoted to Brigadier General. The leader of the Southern forces was General P. T. Beauregard. General Beauregard was actually a student of Major Anderson's at the army school of West Point. Leading Up to the Battle The situation around Fort Sumter had become increasingly tense in the previous months. It began with South Carolina seceding from the Union and escalated with the formation of the Confederacy and the Confederate Army. The leader of the Confederate Army, General P.T. Beauregard, began building up his forces around the fort in Charleston Harbor. Major Anderson, the leader of the Union forces in Charleston, moved his men from Fort Moultrie to the more fortified island fort, Fort Sumter. However, because he was surrounded by the Confederate Army, he began to run out of food and fuel and needed supplies. The Confederation knew this and they were hoping that Major Anderson and his soldiers would leave South Carolina without a fight.
