Rare Chicago, James Conway, Glenview, Illinois $100-200 142 (CIVIL WAR) HARRISON, J. S. 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.

Dr. J. S. Harrison, of Liberty, DeKalb County, Tennessee, enlisted as a private in Company E of the First Battalion of Tennessee Cavalry, under Captain T. M. Allison, from the June 28, 1861 to May 14, 1862, when he was made third Lieutenant of Company C of the Second Battalion of Tennesee Cavalry. He surrendered with Forrest’s Cavalry and was paroled at Gainesville, Sumter County, Alabama, May 10, 1865.

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.”

151 (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.
