• CIVIL WAR ARCHIVE, INCL. GEN.
  CIVIL WAR ARCHIVE, INCL. GEN. BATE ON DEATH OF POLK, CA...Confederate Civil War archive of twenty-two (22) items, pertaining to the Fulton brothers of Fayetteville, Tennessee, specifically Colonel John S. Fulton, 44th Tennessee Infantry Regiment, Johnson's Division; Colonel Alfred S. Fulton, 8th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry; Robert Fulton, 41st Regiment, Tennessee Infantry, Company C; and James Fulton, Pay Director in the United States Navy. The documents include autographed signed letters (ALS) from General William Brimage Bate (1826-1905), CSA Congressman James McCallum (1806-1889), and others. Subjects include the death of Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk (1806-1864), the Battle of Fort Henry, the Battle of Fort Donelson, the capture of Nashville, the Overland Campaign, the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign, the Atlanta campaign, and more. 1st item: ALS. Double-sided one-page handwritten letter from General William Brimage Bate, front lines of the Atlanta Campaign, to Colonel John S. Fulton, undated, written circa June 14, 1864 in regards to the death of Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk. The brief letter states that "Lt Gen'l Polk was killed yesterday on my front line--", en verso, while the main body of the letter urges Fulton to "...have it filed in...[the] War's Office at once--& get some friend to take it to the President--I have an interview with him..." he also writes that "...Gen'l Johnson is the man...". He explains that the letter has been delayed due to his frequent movements along the front lines of the Atlanta Campaign. 2nd item: ALS. Three page bifolium handwritten letter from General Bate, from his headquarters to Colonel John S. Fulton, dated April 28, 1864. He begins his letter by stating that he has not heard from Fulton for some time, writing "...I do not know now whether you are in Va. or near Bristol East Tenn. We did hear that your Brigade was with Longstreet...". Bate also mentions that if Fulton was to receive a promotion that he would like to be kept informed and that he "...regrets very much that [Fulton] is not in [Bate's] command...". Bate also reflects upon the state of the Confederate army and the importance of taking back Tennessee from the Union army, writing, "...it is the 'promised land' now in sack cloth and ashes 'mourning for the loss of her children'...". He also mentions his interest in the career of Captain M.W. Cluskey of Preston Smith Brigade, who fought in the Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862; that his division has now absorbed the Kentucky Brigade and Finley's (Florida) Brigade; and that a soldier by the name of McWinchester, who was the author to the reply of Ed Erwin's Amnesty letter, is still in prison. 3rd item: ALS. Double-sided bifolium handwritten letter from John R. Bright, Fayetteville, TN, writing to his cousin Colonel Alfred S. Fulton, dated February 21, 1862. The letter describes the Battle of Fort Henry, fought February 6, 1862; the Battle of Fort Donelson, fought from February 11-16, 1862; and the capture of Nashville on February 25, 1862. Bright writes, "...the excitement here has been so great since the fight at Fort Donelson...you cannot realize the intense agony which pervades our community--Donelson has fallen--Nashville is doubtless in the hands of the enemy--Gen[eral John Buchanan] Floyd who was at Nashville after the surrender of has burnt the Rail Road & Wire bridges acro[s]s the Cumberland...". He mentions the Union gunboats, stating, "...the gunboats were at a considerable distance and done no damage..." while later stating, "...the Gun Boats came up to within 200 yds of the Fort and shelled the Fort with 50 rounds of cannister...". Bright also gives estimations of the number of casualties and the number of soldiers involved in the fighting, writing, "...the loss on our side was comparatively small--the best estimate of the enemy's loss in killed is from 4000 to 6000 whilst our loss in killed and wounded does not exceed 600--it seems the enemy was receiving reinforcements, and on Saturday night their reinforcements swelled their army up to about 80,000 whilst our army at no time exceeded 16,000...". Returning to his description of the Battle and ultimate surrender of Fort Donelson, Bright writes "...Saturday night the enemy's whole force moved up and surrounded the Fort--about 1 o'clock Sunday morning the fact became known that the Fort must surrender, and our Generals...[Gideon Johnson] Pillow & Floyd left on a Steamboat...[Simon Bolivar] Buckner was left in command and surrendered with about 8,000 men...". After describing the events of the surrender in additional detail, Bright then relays General Albert Sidney Johnston's part in the events, writing "...Johnson[sic] was at Nashville all the time of the fight but it seems that Pillow telegraphed him that they did not need re-enforcements--Johnson's[sic] army had left Bowlingreen[sic]...and was in the neighborhood of Nashville Saturday when the news reached Nashville on Sunday that Fort Donelson had fallen...Johnson[sic] marched his army through Nashville on Sunday evening falling back to Murfreesboro...". Bright then also describes the fear that overcame the citizens of Nashville, stating that the pandemonium was "...equal if not greater than the retreat from Manassas...". Bright ponders if the Generals or the citizens of Nashville are more to blame for the city's fall, stating that while Johnston did not have to troops to defend the city and that there were many Union sympathizers in Nashville, he finds that "...there are too many [men]...so panic-stricken that they have not the nerve to stand up or never were true Southern men...". He concludes his letter by stating that McDonald's Regiment was not in the fight, that Albert's brother Colonel John Fulton returned from a few day's visit home, and that "these are gloomy times for us...the army may fall back to Lookout Mountain, if so Tenne[s]see is overrun...". 4th item: ALS. Double-sided bifolium handwritten letter from one of the Fulton brothers, Drewrys Bluff, VA, writing to his brother, dated May 29, 1864. He writes of the Overland Campaign, a series of battles fought in Virginia during May and June 1864, stating, "...Lee and Grant are now confronting each other. They may be fighting at anytime Lee has already killed wounded and captured between 50 & 7500 men--The Yankees...about 35 or 45,000...". He also mentions Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler's army, writing, "...Butler...has made a signal failure--He came up the Penisula & sought to take Richmond on the south side--but they have been repulsed. He now has his army between the James and Appomattox rivers--". Unsigned. 5th item: Confederate States Secretary of War James Seddon signed military commission document conferring on John S.

Three page bifolium handwritten letter, from Colonel John S. Fulton, Bean Station, Tennessee, to Colonel Alfred S. Fulton, Bibb City, AL, dated December 17, 1986. He mentions the movements of his division near Knoxville, TN, writing "...We attempted to take Fort Loudon at the edge of Knoxville in the morning of the 29th--but failed--it is one of the strongest forts I ever saw--I think Gen Longstreet acted on this rashly in attacking the fort--We lost some 150 men killed & saw some several hundred wounded-it was a very fatal little fight...". 7th item: ALS. Double-sided one page handwritten letter from James R. Bright, Quartermaster's Office, Granbury's Brigade, to his cousin Mrs. E. L. Rogers, dated May 31, 1864. He begins by referencing a letter that he received, quoting, "...'Some think that [Lt. Colonel John L. McEwen, Jr.] will die, Col Fulton will soon be able to be with the command'...". He also mentions the state of the Army and Nathan Bedford Forrest's movements, writing, "...I am pleased to see that in every encounter our men have nobly sustained our cause and inflicted heavy injury upon the enemy--we are very anxious to hear from Forrest who is believed to be in the enemy's [territory]--if he succeeds in destrying the enemy's stores &c. it will make our success certain...". 8th item: ALS. One page bifolium handwritten letter from E.D. Baker, Captain and A.Q.M., Pulaski, TN, to an unidentified recipient, possibly one of the Fulton Brothers, dated January 17, 1864.

The letters serve as reports regarding the movements of Johnson's Brigade from June 15, and 17-18, 1864, during the Richmond-Petersburg campaign, a series of battles around Petersburg, Virginia, fought from June 9, 1864, to March 25, 1865. 12th item: ALS.

Rogers, a sister of the Fultons, written near Jacksonville, AL, and one (1) written by an unidentified source, written from a Camp near Chattanooga, TN, both written to one of the Fulton brothers to inform them of the injury and subsequent death of their brother Robert Fulton, dated October 9-12, 1863.

Bright, Quartermaster's Office, Smith's Brigade, Near Atlanta, GA, to his cousin Mrs. E. L. Rogers, dated July 20, 1864.

  LOUIS XVI ORMOLU-MOUNTED TORTOISESHELL, PARQUETRY AND E...Louis XVI Ormolu-mounted Tortoiseshell, Parquetry and Ebonized Wood Music Box, circa 1785, the mechanical musical instrument was created to support a clock or timepiece; mounted atop it, music was set in play by means of a trip linkage. The movement plays eight melodies on a 17-key organ that employs stopped pewter pipes; a tune change and repeat control manually activates the organ at will. A hand-wound double fuse spring drives the movement. The cabinet case is of black oak with parquetry top, tortoiseshell and ebonized veneer sides applied with faux alabaster colonnettes; front, sides and back feature hinged drop panels that provide access to controls as well as allowing spectators to watch the movement in action. The musical movement with pinned wooden cylinder is of French/Swiss type and though unmarked as to maker, is similar to those attributed to J. Robert et Fils of La Chanx de Fonds, Switzerland. Several inscriptions made by repairers include a "Batley" in 1804, and an "A. Kieser, fevrier" 1907, Paris. This clock organ was conserved by Jere Ryder in 2016. Height 16 in. Width 17 ¾ in.

• GEORGE FREETH ROPER (1843-1892)
  GEORGE FREETH ROPER (1843-1892) OR E.W. GODWIN (1833-1886) ATTRIBUTED DESIGNER) AESTHETIC MOVEMENT CABINET, CIRCA 1880 walnut, with leaded and glazed panels, brass fittings and mirrored glass83.7cm wide, 223.5cm high, 35cm deepLiterature: Soros, Susan, Aesthetic Movement Architect and Designer, New Haven, 1999, p. 209, no. 333; pp. 226-7, pls 369 and 369.1; p. 199 pl. 319; p. 188 pl. 309.II.Note: Having worked as an assistant to E. W. Godwin, Freeth Roper then worked for Collinson & Lock, Gillow & Co. and Kendal Milne & Co. designing furniture in an Anglo-Japanese style. His work appeared in The British Architect vols 10 (1878) and 15 (1881), and Building News in 1873 and 1878. This current work owes much to Godwin as can be seen from the curved and extending tapered uprights on the upper section, the ring handles with square backplates and the brass strap hinges and moulded timber elements. The pierced circular openings can be seen in a sketch by Godwin for a drawing room cabinet of circa 1874 (V&A PD E. 235-1963, fol. 32), and are not noted in any of Freeth Roper's other designs. This is one of two known examples of this form, the other is held in a private collection in the UK. Significantly, the other cabinet is ebonised and has the same pierced detail, again a characteristic finish and design feature used by Godwin and not known in any designs recorded by Freeth Roper.

• A THREE PIECE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT
  A THREE PIECE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT BELGE NOIR AND VERDE A...A THREE PIECE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT BELGE NOIR AND VERDE ANTICO METAL MOUNTED MARBLE CLOCK GARNITURE, PARIS, 1880-1890, the flaming chalice patinated metal finial on a circular base over a stepped frieze with applied Verde Antico green marble frieze, above an enameled Arabic numeral dial with two escapements, the clockworks marked with a pastille, "Medaille d'Argent, Vincenti, 1855," and with numbers 6586 and 5-2; the clock face flanked by string inlaid and incised gilt stylized flowers, raised on a stepped plinth with restrained starbursts and inlaid motif, raised on splayed acanthine feet, with two matching compotes on like gilt incised and inlaid stepped bases. Height: 20 1/2" Width: 12" Depth: 6 1/2" Note: The manufacture of this clock, though marked Vincenti, was most likely made under the supervision of Amédée Roux. Vincenti & Cie.'s origin dates back to 1823, when watchmaker/mechanic Jean Vincenti founded the company in Montbeliard. The company fell into financial bankruptcy and dissolved in 1828, giving way to another business in October 1829, still called Vincenti et Cie, with which Albert Roux, father of Amédée Roux, officially joined as leading shareholder. Quite quickly, annual production reached 8,000 watch movements. In addition to large volumes, in 1830 the factory mounted mechanisms for music boxes, carcel oil lamps, metronomes, spinning counters, and lark mirrors. In November 1833, Albert Roux established a large-scale watch and clock factory. Besides a house located opposite the original factory, Albert Roux had new workshops and offices built, and moved in early 1834. The factory in 1840 had a water wheel. The prefectural decree of February 26, 1846 authorized the maintenance of a 6 hp steam engine to operate the metal lathes of the watchmaking factory, replaced by a more powerful machine in 1858 (10 hp). A workers' housing and a house are built, respectively in 1850 and 1856. Amédée Roux succeeded his father in 1858, year of creation of the new company Amédée Roux et Cie, which continued to manufacture pendulum and chime movements, travel alarm clocks, Morse receivers, railway regulators, cogs for water and gas meters, etc. The factory was enlarged in 1864. At the end of this year, the factory produced 5,500 pendulum movements per month. Around 1890, she launched into the production of phonograph movements, prepayment counters, then automobile counters, taximeters, speed indicators, recording cylinders, igniter-extinguishers, pigeon-passenger arrival constators. They were awarded medals at the Paris exhibitions of 1834, 1839, 1844, 1849, 1855 and 1867, the pastille marks apparently still used well into the late 19th century, as seen here. A foundry and a brass rolling workshop were built around 1895. In 1902, the factory was again enlarged and equipped with a room for the steam engine. The factory closed in 1929. Aesthetic Movement was a short-lived decorative, architectural, and literature style popular from 1880-1890. Elements of modernism can be seen herein by way of the functionality and simplicity of line and form, while retaining some old world embellishments. A predecessor in some ways of modernism, this is a lovely example of Aestheticism in this garniture. Provenance: Lifelong Collection of Clocks and Antiques, Navasota, Texas.
