• Gilman Marston Civil War General
  Gilman Marston Civil War General and Politician Manuscript Archive 233 letters 82 essays and speeches ca.80 deeds receipts and miscellaneous business records. Ca 1830-1900 (bulk 1834-1859). A son of Orford New Hampshire a graduate of Dartmouth and Harvard a Republican U.S. Congressman and Senator and Brigadier General during the Civil War Gilman Marston was among the most influential men in northern New England. This extensive collection of Marston??Ts pre-Civil War correspondence documents his rise to fame and prominence and his entry into the progressive politics of the early Republican Party. These superb letters often witty and always friendly come mostly from college friends Orfordians political compatriots and others with whom he had built connections in early life including several women among them. Together they tell the story of the antebellum years from the religious enthusiasm of the Second Great Awakening to the great questions of slavery and sectionalism. Marston??Ts friends are full of good-natured news of home and old friends and lots of local color mixed with a fixation on political affairs. John Dean writes in March 1834 You will perhaps be anxious to know how we get along at Meriden. We don??Tt have many scrapes of late but had one or two since you left. Got comfortable drunk mistook the floor for a chair a number of times and could not fund the door at all... Must close on politicks you know and what do you think of Jackson that old devil who tramples on all law and precept and talks about ''my government'' and ?I never will recharter the bank.? Hope he will put his threat into execution and go to ?desarts of Arabia.? In my opinion it would be a blessing to our country if he had gone years ago... Similarly a college friend G. F. Shepley wrote from Portland May 30 1838: What do you think of Levi Woodbury for chief justice of New Hampshire? Rather a powerful competition for Mr. Wilcox of Orford. The Feds here say he let Washington as rats leave a falling house. If that was the reason he must be a weak rat surely. And if Martin??Ts administration fall I sincerely think that with it fall the best interests of the people of this country but there we join issue I know. But in one point I know we agree that the western candidate for the presidential chair Madam Harrison will be permitted to wait till the reign of woman commences before she succeeds. One year later Shepley wrote an important letter regarding the border dispute with Canada/England that almost boiled over into warfare: The opinion of the governor as well as that of the legislature and the people of Maine seems to be that the troops in the service of the state should not be withdrawn until Sir John Harvey agrees not to attempt to carry his threats into execution. The question of war or no war rests entirely with Sir John Maine is only acting on the defensive. If Sir John attempts to invade our territory to drive off our troops and take ''military possession'' of that part of Maine sometimes called the disputed territory as he has avowed his intention of doing... then he will find a force ready and able to resist him... The movement west affected Marston??Ts generation profoundly. Marston himself moved to Indiana in 1838 -- about which a friend wrote The Yankees have been called a migratory people and in this point you seem to be the greatest Yankee of us all -- but others in his circle made the trek west too. N.W. Dewey newly arrived in Canton Ill. Feb. 1838 describes the journey from Terre Haute in poetical terms: A few miles east of Terre Haute we came upon the Prairie & it is not too much to quote here the well known lines altering one word: Then then a broad bright Eden land / Burst on my raptured view. I will not attempt to describe the scene or my thoughts & feelings as it opened upon me. Indeed I could not do it without more attention to my spiritual operations than I am inclined at present to bestow. And even if I could by one snap of my pen I would not thus forestall those feelings which will rush upon you in original freshness & power when mounted upon some gentle nag you come to visit me & see the wonders of this ocean-land. Some of Marston??Ts friends scattered in other directions with A.S. Wheeler removing to Orange County Virginia. Through him Marston received a taste of how far the south had diverged from the north. On March 6 1841 Wheeler wrote that he wished to learn more about southerners and that subject which has created so much excitement in the country slavery. Till I came here I had no idea how great a moral & political evil this is to the country. As to the slaves themselves they are much happier than if free but the effect of the system is ruinous to the whites & to the general interests of the South... Southerners shared some concerns Wheeler believed but the similarities masked deeper divides: (May 18 1841) If a bank is chartered Virginia will remain in the opposition. The people of this state are strongly opposed to any institution of the kind. I suppose three fourths of the farmers are democrats but a Virginia Democrat & N[ew] E[ngland] democrat are by no means similar. In N.E. I always regarded a democrat as a leveler but here it is totally different. For instance the gentleman I am with voted for Van Buren but in principle he is a monarchist... As an early and ardent convert to the Republican Party Marston was deeply interested in the slavery question and the collection includes some marvelous antislavery content. A.G. Johnson writes from Troy NY Feb. 17 1839: I have just read Henry Clay??Ts speech and I think the abolition question is just as far from being settled as it was before.... He takes it for granted that should the blacks be liberated there would at some future time be a struggle for supremacy between the races. How he has taken it upon him to prophecy and assuming that his prophetic visions will be fulfilled he draws out a long train of consequences to frighten us from abolition. Now is there any danger of such a result? Is it not a fact that in the few states the blacks increase in a much less rate than the whites while the contrary is true in the slave states? Then which race has the most to fear from abolition. And will not abolition be the quickest way to bring about an extermination of the blacks? But is it true that a bloody and exterminating war will be the necessary result of emancipation? The peaceful results in the West Indies affords no ground for forebodings like these. In my opinion a war or extermination will be much more likely to result from an obstinate continuance of the system than from its abandonment... Much more. Similarly there is much on early Republican politicals including seven fascinating printed forms and fliers from the Republican State Committee of New Hampshire 1857 through Jan. 26 1859 preparing for the election and for routing the sham Democracy that the pathway will be clear for the most decided and brilliant victories in 1859 an 1860. Also undated speech delivered by Marston to the Citizens of Orford. By December 1860 with the drive to secession beginning Marston learned from a friend in Iowa that the place was aflame: ?The Union ? ?The Whole Union.? God preserve it he wrote. Mr. Lincoln has my confidence as a man and I doubt not what his will and ability ro do justice to all portions of our loved country... The collection includes only a small amount documenting Marston??Ts distinguished war service through one document stands out for length and interest. Consisting of a series of documents pasted together into a scroll this item regards the case of James Richardson of Baltimore seeking compensation for timber cut from his land for use at the infamous (and nearby) Point Lookout Prison Camp. Among the documents comprising the scroll is a copy of Richardson??Ts oath of allegiance character references and testimony. Finally among the essays and speeches are several political speeches dating from the 1850s a handful of legal opinions and pleadings and at least 20 compositions done while a student at Dartmouth including a fascinating Influence of the imagination on the nervous system. At once personal and political this is an extraordinary collection from an extraordinary man offering a window onto the culture of mobile educated young men in the antebellum period each of whom harbored an intense interest in politics. Expected wear some tearing at folds but sound and relatively clean.

• Lieutenant George W. Weston 26th
  Lieutenant George W. Weston 26th Iowa Infantry Civil War Archive Lot includes 15 letters and documents (12 war-date); Weston's bayonet & scabbard; scrapbook and relics; wallet including receipts; Bible; 6 photographs. 1861-1865. Older than usual with a wife and two sons and a staunch opponent of slavery George Weston enlisted as a sergeant in the 26th Iowa Infantry and enjoyed a stellar military career. This small collection includes three particularly fine wide-eyed letters describing Weston??Ts transit through the Vicksburg Campaign where he died in the service. On a boat 30 miles above the Yazoo Jan. 21 1863 en route to Vicksburg Weston wrote: I hope we shall get off the boat soon for it is getting very sickly. Men are dying every day. We have not lost any of our company except those that were killed. We have been crowded together on this boast most of the time since Dec. 21st and we have suffered more than I shall try to tell you... I sometimes think there will be a Southern Confederacy because we are so corrupt and they are honest with themselves and in earnest. I hope for the best but things look dark to me. We are passing large plantations all the time and have stoped near some and I have seen the damn monster in all its glory. I went over one place where there was over 200 slaves. I went into the pen where they put the babes to be nursed by the old women and little girls while the mothers are in the field at work. I will not try to describe it to you but there was about 50 put together like pigs. All this I saw and many other things. I will say if I hated it before I saw I hate it worse now but it is not (I am sorry to say) so with most of the soldiers they look at the black in his condition and curse him for being so. They are all friendly to us and many have asked me when we was coming to take them all away. I could not give them much hope but talked about their children and told them to look ahead... In other letters he demurs from offering financial advice to his wife (I can trust you better than I can myself because I am not there to see...) and draws a rough map of his camp at Vicksburg Feb. 22 1863: Our mortars throw a big shell into Vicksburg occasionally just to let them know we are here. I am a little more hopefull now than when I last wrote but the Nation is very very wicked... Weston??Ts hope counted for little: he died not long after this letter leaving Emelia Jane a widow. After Weston??Ts death she had to use all the confidence he had once placed in her judgment to make her own way forward: About the disposal of my funds I have not thought much but am in hopes I can before a great while... I shall follow it as near as circumstances will allow about a home. I have not even given it a thought circumstances will decide for me. I find I have enough for me to think of without thinking much of the future. Among the documents in the collection is Weston??Ts handsome partially printed appointment as 2nd Sergeant 26th Iowa (issued by Col. Milo Smith in the field at Helena Ark.) Nov. 1 1862; two passes written for Weston in Mississippi; his manuscript mustering-in roll after promotion to Lieutenant April 1863 (signed by Miles Smith Col. of 26th Iowa); also a copy of his wife??Ts will; three documents relating to Weston??Ts wife??Ts efforts after her husband??Ts death: Weston??Ts death certificate in Clinton Co. Iowa (Aug. 18 1863); a certificate of return of ordnance (Jan. 1864) and allowance of a pension of $17 per month dated while the war still raged Feb. 1865. Of special note is Weston??Ts will made out in October 19 1862 as he was lying sick specifying that he wished a sermon preached at his funeral but if any of my friends & neighbors choose to meet at the burial of my dead body & are moved to make brief appropriate remarks I am willing they should do so but I desire all the exercises connected with my burial shall be brief peaceful & quiet; but I direct expecially that my body be not buried till all the circumstances of my decease with a sufficient lapse of time therefrom prove beyond the possibility of a doubt that I am really dead. Finally the collection includes some regalia including Weston??Ts bayonet and scabbard and a scrapbook made of a women??Ts magazine and snippets drawn from poetry books and other publications bound into a homemade cover. Tipped in variously are artifacts collected by Weston: a boll of cotton picked at Helena Ark. Oct. 1862; pencil sketch of a log hut used by soldiers; beautiful pencil-sketch map (folded) of positions along the Yazoo and Mississippi Rivers from Helena Ark. to Granada Miss. showing Grants??Ts forces Prices forces and the camp; A piece of the Rebel flag take at Arkansas Post; pressed flowers picked on the banks of the Mississippi in Arkansas and Mississippi; exceptional two-color ink map of positions along the Mississippi opposite Vicksburg in late December 1862. Gorgeous sixth-plate ambrotype of soldier in uniform paired with sixth plate daguerreotype of a Emelia Jane Weston??Ts wife (half case and some oxidation of the image); also three cartes-de-visite of Weston one in a sergeant??Ts uniform another in Lieutenant??Ts. Among the miscellaneous items are a handsome school-boys manuscript newspaper (labeled vol. 2 no. 2) edited by Weston and with handsome calligraphic title and illustration of an American flag on the cover and a small travel Bible presented to Weston by George to his brother Documenting the short but memorable military career of an Iowan the Weston papers are a reminder that death mowed down many and left a bumper crop of widows. One letter (Feb. 20 1863) with section town away obscuring some text else expected wear and signs of age.
