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.

Matthew Butler discusses
Matthew Butler discusses Sheridan, two-page autograph letter in violet ink, "Edgefield, S.C. May 16th [18]95" to William B. Dupree, Brooklyn, New York, signed "M.C. Butler" (Confederate General Matthew C. Butler, 1836-1909), discussing his military service, "…I think the second days fight at Trevillian's Station, 12th of June 1864, when I commanded Hampton's (afterward's my own) Division of Cavalry against Sheridan's Cavalry was the most 'noteworthy achievement' of my military career. For upwards of five hours, from about two P.M. until after seven o'clock, that Division almost single handed and alone (three Brigades) resisted and repelled seven distinct and vigorous assaults of the greater part of Sheridan's command…He was thereby prevented from forming a junction with Hunter in the Valley, and as I have always insisted we saved Richmond", 8 x 9-3/4 in.

LOT NOTES
Clare Sheridan Sheridan was a prominent sculptor, journalist and writer, best known for creating busts for notable sitters and as a cousin of Sir Winston Churchill. In 1910 she married Wilfred (William) Frederick Sheridan, with whom she had two daughters. When her daughter Elizabeth died in 1914, Sheridan was moved to commemorate her grave with a small weeping angel sculpture, and so, history has it, begun her sculpting career. Sheridan then moved from London to France to study under John Tweed (1869-1933) and Professor Edouard Lanteri (1848-1917). She was commercially successful, earning commissions like a portrait bust of H.H. Asquith for the Oxford Union.
In the summer of 1920 Sheridan was invited by the first Soviet Russian trade delegation to travel to Russia to make busts of revolutionaries. Once in Russia, she stayed in the Kremlin for two months, sculpting Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky and Felix Dzerzhinsky and Lev Kamenev. (Her affairs with some sitters further amplified her notoriety).
Back in London, Churchill and the London Society shunned her, leading to her move to America in 1921 (where she again made headlines for her relationship with Charlie Chaplin). On her second trip to Russia in 1923, she was declared 'persona non grata'. She returned to London in 1924 by a cross-continental journey, recording her travels in her 1925 memoirs, Across Europe with Santaella .
Under suspicion by MI5 (whose file noted that she conducted herself in an anti-English and disloyal manner in various foreign countries), she moved to Algeria, where she lived for the next decade. She continued working and writing through the end of her life.

[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.
