1885 "SHERIDAN'S TROOPERS" BY DE.
1885 "SHERIDAN'S TROOPERS" BY DE. B. KEIMOffered in this lot is the 1885 "Sheridan's Troopers" by De. B. Keim, publisher David McKay, No. 23 South Ninth St. Philadelphia. "Sheridan's Troopers On The Borders: A Winter Campaign On The Plains" is a narrative of more than six months spent on the Southern Plains of the United States, observing the operations of the army directed by then Major Philip Henry Sheridan against the native peoples of various tribes. A very interesting account of several battles vs the Indians in the days of the old west. Keim writes as a man of his times, his descriptions of Indian ways is fascinating from a man who was there. Personal experiences of war against the Plains Indians With the conclusion of the Civil War the American nation turned once again to its 'Manifest Destiny' in earnest, and as the influence of the 'white man' became an ever greater burden upon the hitherto wild western frontier the inevitable escalation of antipathy and open warfare flared with the indigenous Indian tribes of the Great Plains. The 'Winter Campaign ' of 1868 saw the military men who had become household names during the war between the States-among them Sheridan and Custer-once more in the field to subjugate the Sioux, the Cheyenne and their allies. This campaign is reported here by one who took part in it-one of that resolute breed of nineteenth century journalists, the special correspondent. So the story of Forsyth's defense of Beecher's Island, The Battle of the Washita and other famous and notable fights are eloquently recounted within these pages together with the writers own personal experiences of camp, campaign and conflict. This is an excellent chronicle of the Plains Indian Wars and an essential addition to every library of the subject. De Benneville Randolph Keim (1841-1914) was a 19th-century journalist who became a war-time confidant of Ulysses S. Grant, the commanding general of the Union Army, during the American Civil War, and remained an advisor to Grant through his presidency. General of the Army Philip Henry Sheridan was a career United States Army officer and a Union general in the American Civil War.

[Civil War - Manuscripts] Civil War
[Civil War - Manuscripts] Civil War Soldier's Letter Describing Sherman's March From Savannah GA 4pp dated January 5 1865 at Savannah Georgia. Writing to his brother P.H. Richardson You have doubtless learned that Sherman with his Yankee invaders have found their way to and into the City of Savannah. We left Atlanta on the 15th of Nov. for parts to us unknown & marched in all directions except West or Northwest but making our general course South East. He describes the terrain of coastal Georgia speaks of highly successful foraging to the point that he is the heaviest he has ever been (We had a plenty of Sweet Potatoes fresh Pork Beef & Molasses also some Honey etc so we lived fat & had a good time altho our March was a long one) and recounts the only fight along they way near Macon where one Union regiment terribly whipped 5 Brig. of rebs that charged them several times & were repulsed with terrible slaughter. He gives details of their entry in Savannah including dates resistance and other war news and describes Savannah as a fine city for a Southern one well laid out with paved streets and residents eager to take the oath of Allegiance. Richardson even gives his personal views on his ultimate superiors: I begin to think it was Sherman's head that made Grant so prominent a Gen. as you know 2 [drawing of a head] are better than one - still I don't feel to distrust Gen. Grant's ability as a General. The final page is full of news relevant to the correspondents' family and friends but closes with the plea O! when will this War be over is there any prospect of a Submission on their part ever or will the last man woman & Child be exterminated before submitting? O! for Grace to patiently endure & do our whole duty so long as duty Calls So I will will close wishing you Heaven's Choicest blessing here and hereafter and here I wish you a Happy New Year. Richardson does not sign with a rank but mentions in the letter that for the last few months he has been detailed with the Division Hospital 1st Div. 15th A.C. and is acting as Commissary Sargt. Condition: Very good.

Artist's Biography: Anatol Shulkin, Russian-American, 1899-1961
Shulkin immigrated to the United States from Russian at twelve and studied with George Bellows and Leon Kroll at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design in the 1920's. He had early solo exhibitions at the Art Centre Gallery, later at the Midtown Galleries in New York, and was a founding member of An American Group, Inc., a leftist leaning organization of artists. In 1932, the New York Times reviewed a solo exhibition of Shulkin’s work, commenting “he deserves front rank honors…put this exhibition, without fail, on your list of current ‘musts’. “ Later, Shulkin was a successful muralist with awards from the U.S. Treasury in 1935, 1937, 1938 and 1940, producing murals for the Works Progress Administration as well as several important private commissions. He also exhibited at the Corcoran Biennial, The National Academy of Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Carnegie Institute, and the Art Institute of Chicago. As a native Russian-speaker, Shulkin had access to the Soviet Delegation at the 1944 Dumbarton Oaks Conference, the result of which is a series of historic life portraits in this sale. Anatol Shuklin's work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney and Metropolitan Museum of Art.

15th Corps Veteran Sixth Plate
15th Corps Veteran Sixth Plate Tintype with Inset Forty Rounds Badge A painfully young early war volunteer from the call of 1862 wearing a regulation four button sack coat with cravat that is the off-to-war dress of a recent civilian. The anonymous private is accoutered with a US oval plate on a pristine just-issued leather belt holding a brass-hilted sword bayonet. Pinned vertically to the pillow of the case is an iconic post-war painted metal Forty Rounds badge suspended from a pressed eagle and stenciled American flag segment evidence that the young man survived the war and lived to associate with fellow veterans in the GAR. Sherman??Ts hard-scrabble bummers were busy ''marching to the sea'' in February 1865 when the iconic 15th Corps badge was formally adopted and there is no documented evidence that ?Forty Rounds? ever saw field service except as the contents of a fully loaded cartridge box. Condition: Varnished plate near EXC. with just average clarity. Glossy black cartridge box with slight bend on right flap and minor paint loss at edges; raised gold paint perfect. Fine cloth flag segment worn and frayed missing lower metal planchet. Tintype and badge housed in separated composition case missing front lower edge.
