• Corporal George F. Lewis 12th
  Corporal George F. Lewis 12th Massachusetts Infantry Civil War Archive 9 letters 1861-1864. Organized by Fletcher Webster a son of the great statesman Daniel Webster the 12th Massachusetts Infantry began recruiting in April 1861 and mustered into the Federal service in June.  They were not destined for the featherbed.  After service in the Shenandoah Valley they saw action at Second Bull Run where they lost their colonel and in the cornfield at Antietam where 63 percent of the effectives were killed or wounded the highest of any federal unit in the battle.  They went on to horrific losses at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg the Wilderness Spotsylvania North Anna River and Petersburg earning the distinction as one of the hardest fighting regiments in the Army of the Potomac. A typical volunteer George F. Lewis learned the rigors of a soldier??Ts life the hard way but even during the darkest days maintained a confidence in the success of northern arms.  On Feb 16 1862 for example he wrote that the war news he hears is encouraging The Rebels are getting all the Bull Run battles that they ask for.  I wonder if they think one Southerner is as good as five Yankees now.  They have got a foretaste of what is to come yet.  I don??Tt think Manassas will ever be attacked by our troops unless we surround them & starve them out... There is an excellent early letter regarding the occupation of Harpers Ferry and preparing to be attacked by Johnson??Ts forces as well as N.P. Banks??T efforts to retreat and draw Johnson out.  Though not content as a soldier Lewis kept his sense of humor.  After stating that they could be held in service only three months and that that was as much of a soldiers??T life as he would like to see he adds with a wry touch that he always carries with him the revolver he brought with him from Boston: when I am on guard or on any dangerous duty he [the Capt.] will let me have it the way he is going to do by all the rest of them who have got them.  I am rather a saucy looking fellow when I am armed and equipped: knife revolver and rifle... Accompanying Lewis??Ts letters are two from relatives: one in the 12th Massachusetts and one from Lt. George H. Ditson of the 4th US Colored Cavalry in New Orleans (formerly the 1st Corps d??TAfrique).  Written on May 19 1864 as the bloody spring campaigns were beginning Ditson writes: things look very dark in this department at present but iff what we hear from Grants Army is true or even one half of it we are all right.  In this department but I dred to here the official reports I have no doubts but what he has gained a victory but at what sacrifice we do not know or we never shall.  I have no doubt but what he would sacrifice one hundred thousand lives rather than be defeated.  It is an awful thing to think of but should be he defeated god help us... A small glimpse into New Englanders under arms during the Civil War: one an optimist attached to an illustrious but ill-fated regiment the other a pessimist leading newly liberated slaves fighting for their freedom.  Condition: The items display some wear and minor damage to the bindings of the volumes expected wear and soiling throughout.
• Robert E. Lee ALS 1835 Robert E.
  Robert E. Lee ALS 1835 Robert E. Lee (1807-1870). 3pp ALS with military content dated February 18 1835 at Washington addressed to My Glorious Jack (Jack Mackay Lee's West Point roommate and one of his closest friends).?Holding the rank of second lieutenant at the time of writing Lee was serving as an assistant in the chief engineer's office in Washington but was anticipating an appointment to some project for the summer.? He makes clear his preference for hard work on a necessary project as opposed to an easier assignment guarding some far-flung or unimportant outpost:My opinion upon the matter has been formed from the little experience I have had of a Garrison life in time of Peace where I have seen minds formed for use & ornament degenerate into sluggishness & inactivity requiring the stimulus of Brandy or Cards to rouse them to action and apparently a burden to the [?] and perhaps an injury to their companions.? I intend no compliment when I say I believe you are in no danger of the kind attended to or any other affecting the character of a Gentl' or officer and that your good sense & natural feeling will always prevent you from falling into such habits yet as in my own person[?] I shall not wish to be exposed to the temptation neither would I wish you.?Lee ended up being ordered to survey the Ohio/Michigan Territory border in anticipation of Michigan's admission to the Union which he indeed found challenging evidenced by a letter to his wife that summer in which he rebuked her for requesting his early return home by saying "I rather require to be strengthened & encouraged to the full performance of what I am called on to execute."? The task was certainly not a run-of-the-mill surveying job as the claims of both sides had resulted in the armed standoff known as the "Toledo War" and Lee's border became part of the final compromise.Lee uses the remainder of the letter to update Mackay with the latest news regarding their former classmates and mutual friends:.... Joe Johnston is here & from occasionally accompanying me over the [?] is in some danger of being caught by a pack of Blackeys.? Jim Z. is at Ft. Gibson Arkansas river.? Me & Mine are all well and after Congress rises[?] you will hear more of us.? My Brother Smith was married on the 5th inst. to Miss Hanie Mason we had a grand Frolick for the balance of the week. Condition: One third of the letter slightly faded but legibility is impeded more so by Lee's handwriting.
• E.B.D. JULIO "THE LAST MEETING"
  E.B.D. JULIO "THE LAST MEETING" CIVIL WAR PRINTPrint of the Fred Halpin engraving based on the famous E.B.D. Julio painting originally titled "The Heroes of Chancellorsville" (1869) framed and matted under glass. Frame measures 41" in height by 35" in width with the sight image measuring 27" in height by 21-1/2" in width. All measurements are approximate. The painting and engraving depicts General R. E. Lee and Lt. General “Stonewall” Jackson meeting prior to Jackson’s stunning victory and tragic death at Chancellorsville in May 1863. The work portrays Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson on the evening of May 1, 1863, during the Battle of Chancellorsville. Julio’s painting has become an icon of the Lost Cause view of the Civil War. According to the historian Gary W. Gallagher, it reflects the Lost Cause’s preoccupation with military leaders and with Lee and Jackson in particular.

• General James Longstreet Group of
  General James Longstreet Group of Five CDVs Lot includes four different common Anthony/Brady views of General Longstreet in uniform with a scarce post-war view in civilian clothes taken soon after the war. Three of the military views are engravings and one is a copy shot. None are autographed. ''Old Pete'' became a Major General in October 1861 and gained accolades commanding a division in 1862. With the Army of Northern Virginia??Ts reorganization Longstreet assumed command of the vaunted First Corps and could claim a large share of the victory at Fredericksburg. He was detached at Suffolk early in 1863 and missed the fighting at Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg Longstreet led the right wing and vehemently protested Lee's decision to attack with Pickett??Ts Division on July 3. Post-war many blamed Longstreet for the defeat although Lee never publicly lost confidence in his old ''war horse.'' The later hollow victory at Chickamauga can largely be credited to Longstreet but Army of Tennessee politics and a burning desire for independent command found him cast-off in charge of the dismal Knoxville Campaign during the winter of 1863-4. Longstreet gratefully returned to Lee in time to engineer a bold counterattack at the Wilderness on May 6 1864 where he was severely wounded. Longstreet returned to corps command at the end of the war and surrendered at Appomattox. ?Old Pete? remained the most visible Confederate luminary in the highly charged post-war examination of the causes leading to defeat. Longstreet died in 1904 and cast a long shadow as the last of the Confederate high command. Condition: Cartes are uniformly G+. showing minor edge wear and soiling.
• 1863 CIVIL WAR RAPPAHANNOCK
  1863 CIVIL WAR RAPPAHANNOCK SOLDIER'S LETTER7th Indiana Infantry Private Theodore "Dory" Longwood, Nov 9, 1863. Pvt Longwood and his brother Sergeant Mortimer "Morty" served under General George Meade. Gen Meade was sharply criticized by Gen. Henry Halleck and President Lincoln for allowinGeneral Robert E. Lee to escape Gettysburg. Letter discusses pursuing Lee and the Rebel Confederates saying "..we captured 15 or 18 hundred of the Rebs...they are skedadling as fast as they can..." likely a reference to the 2nd Battle of Rappahannock Station two days earlier. The conditions suffered by the Union forces strike a personal note as Dory tells his mother and father "Excuse this very bad written letter for it is very unpleasant writing in the cold + in the woods + nothing to writeon but my knees." Dory survived the Civil War but was captured at the siege of Petersburg and put into a POW camp at Camp Chase. He suffered for the rest of his life and died at 34.
