In den WarenkorbPaperback. Handbill. Small 8vo. 4pp. Foldout chart. Near fine. Four-punched at left edge (not affecting text). A bright and handsome General Order, issued 1 July 1864, whose cover page briefly notes that it concerns "the cost of clothing and camp and garrison equipage for the Army of the United States. with the allowance of clot…hing to each soldier during his enlistment, and his proportion for each year." The remaining numbered pages consist of a detailed chart itemizing every last item of clothing and camp equipment and their cost for every type of soldier. The wide foldout chart is titled "TABLE specifying the money value of Clothing allowed to the Army of the United States" and continues this fascinating elaboration of items and their cost to the soldier. Scarce and unusual.

In den Warenkorb16mo. Self-cover. 8pp. Near fine. Binding traces at gutter (not affecting text). This lengthy and fascinating General Order chronicles the Fort Snelling court martial trial of Captain James Starkey of the 1st Minnesota Mounted Rangers, charged with "Making false muster," "Willingly signing muster rolls containing false musters,"… "Making false return to his superior officer of the state of his Company" and "Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." Each charge is elaborated in great detail. Starkey was found guilty of most of the charges and sentenced "To be cashiered, and to be forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit under the Government of the United States" -- this latter sentence commuted by President Lincoln, who always believed in giving someone a second chance. Signed in type at the conclusion by Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands, where the company clerks would collect them (hence the occasional file holes). A great many were destroyed during the course of the war, and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies.

In den Warenkorb12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Four-punched at left edge, not affecting text. Titled "Exchange of Prisoners of War," this General Order consists of Townsend's report of a prisoner exchange arranged between Generals William T. Sherman and John Bell Hood that took place in Rough and Ready, Georgia, on September 19, 22, 28 and 30, 1864…. "United States prisoners received -- 146 commissioned officers. 212 non-commissioned officers. 770 privates. In all equivalent to 2,047 privates. Confederate prisoners received -- 128 commissioned officers. 225 non-commissioned officers. 979 privates. In all equivalent to 2,045 privates." How these numbers add up to 2,047 and 2,045 privates is beyond us -- must be the Old Math. Accompanied by a fine modern (circa 1960) glossy 8" X 10" photograph, a superbly done reprint of the well-known head-and-shoulders portrait of John Bell Hood in Confederate uniform. Verso bears red inkstamped "From the / Abraham Lincoln Book Shop / Collection." A superb pair.

In den WarenkorbWashington, DC: War Department, 1864 November 14. 16mo. Handbill. Very good. Four-punched at left edge, not affecting text. Townsend announces the resignation of Major General George B. McClellan on November 8 -- though not stated, just after losing the presidential race to Lincoln -- and the appointment of Philip H. Sheridan as… Major General: "That for the personal gallantry, military skill, and just confidence in the courage and patriotism of his troops. on the 19th day of October, at Cedar Run, whereby. his routed army was reorganized, a great national disaster averted, and a brilliant victory achieved over the rebels for the third time in pitched battle within thirty days." The acceptance of McClellan's resignation without comment or praise over a job well done speaks volumes about the much-disliked commander's lackluster performance.

In den WarenkorbHandbills. 12mo. Very good to near fine. One is 4-punched at left edge (not affecting text). Unusual gathering of three Wisconsin-related "General Orders" issued in 1862, 1863 and 1864, all issued from the Adjutant General's Office at the War Department in Washington, DC, as follows: General Orders, No. 217 (30 December 1862), 1…p, Notes three miscellaneous actions for three individual servicemen, the last of which involves 2d Lieutenant Samuel B. Morse of the 7th Wisconsin Volunteers, who resigned before the order dismissing him. General Orders, No. 11 (10 January 1863), 1p, dismissing Colonel R.C. Murphy of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers from the Army "for allowing his command to be surprised at Holly Springs, Mississippi, without having taken proper steps to protect his post, or repulse the enemy, and his troops having been found in bed at the time of attack." General Orders, No. 211 (15 June 1864), 1p, text of a Congressional resolution "tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Bailey, of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red River, by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands, where the company clerks would collect them (hence the occasional file holes). A great many were destroyed during the course of the war, and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies.

"Regulations in respect to the distribution of election tickets and proxies in the Army," which spells out the rules and regulations for soldiers to vote in absentia -- including the warning: "Any officer or privat…e who may wantonly destroy tickets, or prevent their proper distribution among legal voters, interfere with the freedom of election, or make any false or fraudulent return, will be deemed guilty of an offense against good order and military discipline." Obviously issued on the eve of the presidential election. Signed in type by E.D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant General.

In den WarenkorbWashington, DC: War Department, 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn, with two file holes at left, not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34," being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey, of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunt…eers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river, by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey (1825-67) was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer, who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10,000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise, and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event.
