Confederate manuscript archive of Lieutenant J. S. Harrison, comprising 17 autographed letters signed, 13 of which are war-time and from Harrison to his wife for the Summer of 1861 to the Summer of 1864.

The early letters of the Harrison archive give insight into the first campaigns of the Confederate army in Kentucky, where Harrison participated in the campaigns of General Zollicoffer and the Battle of Mill Springs (January 19, 1862). Five of the seven letters dated Fall 1861 to Spring 1862 are written from the Camp at Mill Spring. Preceding the battle, in a 4 page letter dated December 12, 1861, Harrison’s tone is quite optimistic as he writes: “I can’t say what will be the next move as the Lincoln army is only twelve miles from our army, we are strongly entrenched and fortified ready for an attack and some are hourly expecting it, but as for myself I do not think they will attack us at all at this point as they have already shown cowardice on several occasions.” Harrison goes on to report the capture of fifteen prisoners the Sunday prior, including a Major and Captain, and that he, as a practiced surgeon, is charged with the task of tending their wounds. Similarly, in a letter dated January 1, 1862, he reports of a skirmish with “The Lincolnites,” as he often refers to the Union army, where his Battalion was victorious, escaping unharmed. The tenor of Harrison’s letters changes after the Battle of Mill Spring, perhaps transformed by military defeat, as he suggests a desire to leave battle. In a letter dated March 15, 1862, from Decater, Alabama, Harrison writes: “I am not satisfied with the way things have been conducted in the Southern Confederacy in a good many instances, and we can never gain anything with such men at the head of affairs as we have at this time. Therefore I for one will quit when my time is out if the Federals will let me and if they won’t I’ll do the best I can.” Creases from folds on each letter; tears at the folds to many, some detached; some soiling and spotting; various sizes. $1,000-2,000 Reference: Hancock, Richard R.

(MISSOURI) BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH

Highly important manuscript minute book from the first Permanent Church Organization in Missouri and the first non-Catholic Church West of the Mississippi. 91pp, many both sides, housed in plain cloth-backed album with each sheet housed in old protective sleeves, entirely in manuscript in several hands. Bethel Baptist Church was founded on July 7, 1806 outside Jackson, Missouri in Cape Girardeau County by David Green and met in a small log structure on the land of Thomas Bull, one of the first Baptists in the area. A sizeable meeting house was built in 1812 and the congregation began establishing relationships, or “arms,” with other area churches. This historic archive contains the original constitution, membership list, minutes of monthly church meetings from August 1806 to September 11, 1852, birth, death and baptism records, and rules of decorum. The register of founding members includes 15 names. Slaves are listed either by first names only, such as “Dick as man of Robert Green, Judge of the Court,” baptized June 18, 1813, or just as “two Ethiopians the property of [Al]bert Buckner,” in minutes to follow. Under Spanish rule, the territories west of the Mississippi in the eighteenth-century were officially Catholic and, although a number of Protestants had settled in the districts of St. Louis, St. Charles, and Cape Girardeau, Protestant services and baptisms were illegal. The Louisiana Purchase brought religious freedom to non-Catholics and roused Protestants to a missionary enthusiasm. The constitution of Bethel Baptist Church, which is held under tape and only partially legible, states: “We the members of the Baptist [Ch]urch having been a long time destitute … being in any Church order … [o]ur duty to embody our[selves] … [fe]ar of God as a church, hoping that God will bless us in so good an undertaking with the teaching of his holy spirit and enable us through grace to live to the declarative glory of Him, and the praise of his Gospel.” At its peak in 1813, the Bethel Church had 143 members, 43 members of nine daughter churches and had established the Bethel Association. However, between 1830 and 1850, a schism occurred between the Bethel Association, which was anti-missionary, and the other pro-missionary churches in and around Cape Girardeau County, and the church withdrew fellowship from a number of members and cut ties with smaller “arms” churches, such as Hebron Church. The minutes reflect this growing isolation with very abrupt entries. According to the Missouri Baptist Historical Commission, the building was dismantled during the Civil War and the records of the church cease completely in 1867. In Summer 2009, the Missouri Baptist Historical Commission completed a $200,000 restoration project on the site of the Old Bethel Baptist Church using logs from the original structure. Various partial copies of the minutes exist in institutional collections. Fragile condition; all pages with significant wear and many illegible; large portions of pages missing; many portions of text have been preserved on the protective sheets; should be seen. $6,000-8,000

Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
