10 [REVOLUTIONARY WAR - CONTINENTAL CONGRESS]. [HOLTEN, Dr. Samuel (1738-1816)]. An archive of letters related to Danvers, Massachusetts, physician and statesman Dr. Samuel Holten, comprising: more than 200 letters spanning 1741-1815 (bulk 1780-1799). Majority are unsigned, draft copies of letters written by Holten and sent to family, friends, and fellow politicians, each meticulously cataloged in his hand with a note identifying the intended recipient and the date written. Most correspondence unfolds during later stages of the Revolutionary War, and during critical early years of the new nation as the Massachusetts state constitution was written, the US Constitution was drafted, and as states and politicians debated and approved these documents. A smaller selection of letters in the archive was written to Holten, from correspondents including: Revolutionary War hero and statesman, HUTCHINSON, Col. Israel (ca 1727-1811); educator and statesman, LOVELL, James (1737-1814); diplomat for the United States in Paris and to Spain, CARMICHAEL, William (ca 17391795); and Massachusetts minister, WADSWORTH, Benjamin (1750-1826). References to George Washington, John Adams, John Hancock, Joseph Warren, Elbridge Gerry, and More. [With:] Monthly account statements spanning 1807-1811 related to Holten’s service as Probate Judge for Essex County, each page approx. 6.75 x 8 in., approx. 120pp. Samuel Holten was a zealous Patriot who dedicated his life to public service. Born in Salem Village (now Danvers, MA), Holten studied medicine and was a practicing physician in his hometown as hostilities with the British reached a crisis point in the 1770s. He served as a major in the First Essex County Regiment militia. Alongside such notables as Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock, he began his political career serving as a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress from 1774 to 1775 and the Massachusetts Committee of Safety in 1775. Holten served as a Massachusetts delegate to the Continental Congress from 1778-1780, and the United States in Congress Assembled 1783-1785, and 1787. During his terms, he signed the Articles of Confederation and was elected to serve as the legislative body’s president pro tempore in August 1785. In 1792, Holten was elected to the US House of Representatives for the Third US Congress. At the state level, he was a member of the 1779 Massachusetts constitutional convention; served as a state senator from 1780-1782, and in 1784, 1786, 1789, and 1790; and served on the Governor’s Council. In 1796 he was appointed judge in Essex County Probate Court, a position he held until his resignation in 1815. Condition of documents varies, though most are generally good. Letters are typically legible with creasing at folds, many with tears along fold lines. A HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT ARCHIVE DEMONSTRATING THE TUMULTUOUS NATURE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD AND THE DEDICATION OF THOSE PATRIOTS ENDEAVORING TO CREATE A NEW NATION.

The Richard B. Cohen Civil War Collection Lots 79-98; 116; 138-153; and 266 Cowan’s is pleased to offer the third installment of Richard B. Cohen’s collection of Civil War Brown Water Navy photography. Richard was known to many in the field as a “disciplined collector who maintained a relatively narrow focus having built an important, perhaps unsurpassed collection in his area of specialization.” From cartes de visite to large format photographs, this portion of the collection features a noteworthy selection of images of Brown Water Navy warships, among them, the USS Benton, Choctaw, Lafayette, and Louisville. Many important identified naval officers are also represented, including an exquisite CDV of the promising young officer, Lieutenant Commander William Gwin, who died of wounds aboard the USS Benton following an artillery duel with Confederate forces at Snyder’s Bluff, and an exceptionally large war-date photograph of the controversial commander of the USS Pittsburgh, Egbert Thompson. This auction also features a premiere selection of autographs and manuscripts from Richard’s carefully curated collection. Highlights include a letter from Jefferson Davis to his distant cousin, John J. Pettus, Governor of Mississippi, dated a year before secession, conveying intricate plans for securing armaments in preparation for the war; an Abraham Lincoln signed endorsement; a letter from Admiral D.G. Farragut from New Orleans, offering excellent insight into his “political” thinking as well as his dedication to his work; correspondence from Gideon Welles, David Dixon Porter, U.S. Grant, and W.T. Sherman; and a pair of superb letters with highly descriptive accounts of the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimac.

The Pittsburgh and her consorts ran past the Rebel batteries on Island No. 10 aided by a blinding thunderstorm.

Written two days prior to Mississippi’s secession from the Union, and while Davis was still technically a sitting United States Senator, as he did not resign his seat and return to Mississippi until secession had been confirmed and he delivered a farewell address on 21 January 1861. He writes to John Jones Pettus, the Governor of Mississippi from 1859-1863 and a distant cousin to Davis, about preparations for the anticipated war: “The best chance I have found to get rifles manufactured is at the Mass. Arms Company of Chicopee...He says he can deliver arms of any model furnished to him in about six weeks after he receives the order and at the rate of two to three hundred a month. The cost of the rifle (Mississippi) with a sword bayonet would be say sixteen dollars a piece...I do not think we can get as good arms by private manufacture as those made at the U. S. armories, and I propose to introduce a bill to authorize the sale of the latter to the states at cost prices, that is to say for the amount which would enable the government to manufacture others at the existing establishments...We are still waiting for the organization of the house...The committee on the Harper’s Ferry raid are daily at work, we have not progressed enough to tell what we may discover.” Signed “As ever truly y’rs / Jefferson Davis,” and following the postscript, “J.D.” The Richard B.

139 LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865). Autograph endorsement signed (“A. Lincoln”), as President. [Washington], 29 September 1862. 1 page, 4to, old creases. [With:] Two autographed endorsements signed recommending Ulric Dahlgren (1842-1864), son of Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren (1809-1870), for a captain commission: SMITH, Joseph (1780-1877). Autograph note signed (“Jos. Smith, Rr Admiral US Navy.”) N.p., 29 September 1862. FOOTE, Andrew Hull (1806-1863). Autograph note signed (“A. H. Foote”), Rr. Admiral U.S. Navy. N.p., 30 September 1862.) Lincoln writes his approval and endorsement after the recommendations: “If the within would not violate the rules let it be done, / A. Lincoln / Sep. 29. 1862.”. Commodore Smith had commanded John Dahlgren in 1843 in the Mediterranean Squadron. He recognized Dahlgren’s abilities and got him appointed to the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Foote, described by one historian as John Dahlgren’s closest friend in the Navy, headed the New York Navy Yard on the eve of war and moved on to command the Mississippi River Squadron. Lincoln, too, had established a personal relationship with John, who did not hesitate to lobby for his son. Ulric had enlisted in the Navy and by July 1861 had become his father’s assistant at the Washington Navy Yard. In the spring of 1862, the Union anticipated a Confederate attack at Harper’s Ferry. Unable to go himself to oversee artillery preparations, John sent Ulric and the guns. Back in Washington on May 24 to secure ordnance supplies, Ulric was taken by his father to the President to report on the situation at Harper’s Ferry. John took the occasion, in the presence of both Stanton and Fox, to suggest that his son would benefit from an “official position.” Fox offered Ulric the position of Acting Master’s Apprentice, but Stanton upped the ante by offering to make him a captain in the Army. This endorsement effectuates the appointment. Ulric fought in a number of important battles including the Second Battle of Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Brandy Station, and Gettysburg where he was wounded forcing a leg amputation. He was commissioned as a colonel on 24 July 1863 but was killed in action during “Kirkpatrick’s Raid” on Richmond on 2 March 1864. The Richard B. Cohen Civil War Collection $5,000-7,000

150 [BATTLE OF MOBILE BAY]. FARRAGUT, David Glasgow (1801-1870). Autograph letter signed (“D.G. Farragut”), as Rear Admiral, to James Shedden Palmer (1810-1867). Mobile, AL, 9 August 1864. 4 pages, 8vo, on Western Gulf Blockading Squadron letterhead, old creases. Written four days after this decisive Union victory at the Battle of Mobile Bay. In January 1864, Palmer was made Senior Officer of Naval forces on the Mississippi in the vicinity of New Orleans. In August he became Commanding Officer of the First Division of Ironclads, Western Gulf Blockading Squadron, with the USS Richmond as his flagship. He served under Farragut at the Battle of Mobile Bay. Farragut discusses the battle and its immediate aftermath in some detail. He laments the loss of the USS Tecumseh to torpedos commanded by Tunis Craven: “But oh: a sad fate was that of poor Craven & his officers & men—she disappeared in a moment—but we paid them for it in the end as well as we could. Our ship [the Hartford] suffered more from colliding with the Lackawanna than from the enemy’s shot. Two ports were breached into one but we are all right again and can fight those two guns just as well as before. The tin clad Stockdale [Tinclad No. 42] has paid for herself twice over if she never does any more for Uncle Sam. But for her we would not have disposed of the Rebel soldiers in a week or landed our own at Petit [Bois Island].” Having anchored at Petit Bois Island on August 2, the Stockdale steamed to Dauphin Island, where all of her boats were used to land troops from Army transports. “I demanded the surrender of Fort Morgan yesterday, but [General Richard L.] Page says he will die in the last ditch.” The fort did, in fact, surrender shortly thereafter on August 23rd after heavy bombardment. Farragut continues: “I will send you all of the officers and crews of the [CSS] Tennessee and Selma to be exchanged by [Maj.] General [Edward Richard Sprigg] Canby’s [Com. Military Division of Western Mississippi] Commission for the officers and men belonging to the Navy—except [Admiral Franklin] Buchanan [commander of CSN forces at Mobile Bay and the only Admiral in the Confederate Navy—aboard the CSS Tennessee during the battle], Johnson [sic, James D. Johnston, commanding the CSS Tennessee], Murphy [sic, John D. Murphey, commanding the CSS Selma], and Bradford. The last was the 1st Lt. of the Tennessee, the 1st lt. of Selma was killed. [George W.] Harrison [commanding the CSS Morgan] made his escape & got up to Mobile in the Morgan. The Gaines ran on shore sinking, & they burnt her yesterday.” Farragut has Palmer in charge of overseeing the preparation of the smokestack for the Tennessee. “I had her towed up under the Fort yesterday...I am told that Johnson [sic, Johnston], her former Captain, went into fits about it—so to save his feelings I will send him to Pensacola today along with the other tin clad & the smoke stack as quickly as possible.” The Richard B.

Major Noah Johnston writes to Scates on 22 January 1863 asking for “a more comfortable position” for his son who was serving on the gunboat USS Mound City who had fought at “Belmont, Fort Donaldson [sic], Fort Henry, Pittsburg [Landing], and other less scrapes on the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers...and has had many narrow escapes.” He explains, “having spent the most of his time at school, his education and since he conducts himself properly, fits him for a less laborious and more comfortable position. he could have had such a place if he had desired and sought it but his notions of duty to his country induced him to do otherwise.” Scates forwards Johnston’s beseeching letter and asks if Grant can be of any service by “procuring the favor of the Admiral for a clerkship, or some position, in the service” on behalf of Major Johnston’s son. He states, “Major General [John Alexander] McClernand who permits me to add his solicitation to mine.” All three supplicants had strong Illinois political connections, Johnston being Clerk of the Illinois Supreme Court, Grand Division, at Mount Vernon; Scates having served as a justice of the Illinois Supreme Court; and McClernand, an Illinois politician, having been elected to the House of Representatives before the War and having leap-frogged over scores of qualified military men to be commissioned as a Brigadier General of Volunteers in 1861. McClernand served under Grant in the Western Theater and fought in the battles of Belmont, Fort Donelson, and Shiloh. Grant responds to the lengthy request in his endorsement: “Respectfully referred to Admiral Porter. I know nothing of the claims of the young man referred to but Col. Scates, Gen. McClernand’s Asst. Adj. Gen. who sends this is one of the best citizens of Ill. And his recommendation may be regarded as reliable. U. S. Grant / Maj. Gen.” The Richard B. Cohen Civil War Collection $1,500-2,500

The origins of Zouave units trace to the Zouaoua, a Berber tribe from northern Algeria renowned for their fighting prowess against the Ottoman Empire, inspiring Zouave units in the French army and throughout Europe. American Zouave regiments can be attributed almost entirely to Elmer E. Ellsworth (1837-1861), who became enamored with the flamboyant dress and drill style which employed acrobatics and dance. In 1859, he took over the National Guard Cadets of Chicago, renaming them the US Zouave Cadets, drilling them in the Algerian system and adopting uniforms consisting of “a bright red chasseur cap with gold braid; light blue shirt with moire antique facings; dark blue jacket with orange and red trimmings...and loose red trousers...” In 1860, the regiment toured the East Coast, gaining widespread fame and inspiring a “Zouave Craze,” even performing on the White House lawn for President Buchanan. At the outbreak of war, Ellsworth raised the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry, known as the Fire Zouaves. His tragic death while taking down a secessionist flag in Alexandria, VA the day after Virginia’s secession was the first conspicuous Union death and Ellsworth became a martyr for the cause. Lincoln described him as “the greatest little man I ever met.” Though already popular, his martyrdom likely inspired the creation of many more Zouave units, with the Union fielding over 70 Zouave regiments. One of the many Zouave units formed was the 9th New York Infantry Regiment, known as the Hawkins’ Zouaves after their commander Rush C. Hawkins (1831-1920). They saw heavy action in Burnside’s North Carolina Expedition at Roanoke Island in 1862. They later joined the Army of the Potomac and fought at Antietam, with 233 killed, wounded, or missing. They were mustered out of service on 20 May 1863 in New York City following the expiration of their term of service. Specific to that regiment, lots 162-181 come from the Civil War Collection of the late Dennis C. Schurr of Almond, North Carolina. Schurr developed a fascination with the Hawkins’ Zouaves when he and his wife Karen moved to North Carolina in 1999 given the regiment’s long service in the region. He was renowned for his expertise on the regiment and its commander, even identifying a stolen sword once belonging to Col. Rush Hawkins and serving as an expert witness to facilitate its return to Brown University. Schurr’s full collection features an array of fascinating war and post-war period photographs, manuscripts, and accoutrements. 22

While in Buffalo, NY as he accompanied Abraham Lincoln’s railway entourage from Springfield, IL to Washington D.C. for his first inauguration, Ellsworth writes passionately to his friend James Henry Coates regarding the apparent dissent among members of the US Zouave Cadets regiment, “I also saw the Tribune & Journal with call for meeting composed of those who were expelled. Who never amounted to anything, and were dropped from the vol. and those who did go east and are liable to expulsion for their conduct. And all who failed to get office in the regiment and strange to say, three good men.” In a particularly gripping and prescient statement regarding the situation, Ellsworth writes: “I for one will never consent to see those flags disgraced and I authorize you herewith to obtain & keep them.” He closes his letter contemplating his standing: “My friends will not lose by standing by me. My enemies may go their way, until they attempt to ruin my character, then I’ll try & punish them. I hold the power to do it. If a company does organize and assume that name & try to cast reflections upon me. I’ll organize another company & take that championship.

Colonel Rush C. Hawkins (1831-1920), 9th New York Infantry Regiment, “Hawkins’ Zouaves” Rush C. Hawkins enlisted in the 2nd United States Dragoons at just 15 during the Mexican-American War. Upon his return from the battlefield, Hawkins studied and practiced law in New York City before helping to raise the 9th New York Volunteer Infantry in 1861. He was appointed the regiment’s colonel in May of that year and blazed an impressive trail through North Carolina as part of General Butler’s expedition to capture Fort Hatteras in 1861 and General Burnside’s North Carolina Expedition including the Battles of Roanoke Island, New Bern, and South Mills in February, March, and April of 1862, respectively. On Roanoke Island, Hawkins also served as post commandant of the Freedmen’s Colony established there, enforcing labor wages and provisions for “contrabands” seeking refuge on the island while his regiment occupied it after the battle. A wound in the left arm at South Mills left Hawkins unable to return to the battlefield until just before the Battle of Fredericksburg where he commanded the 1st Brigade, 3rd Division, IX Corps. After mustering out with his old “Hawkins’ Zouaves” regiment on 20 May 1863, Hawkins continued his military service, eventually receiving a promotion to the rank of brevet brigadier general in the New York Militia shortly after the war ended.

Brevet Brigadier General Edward Jardine (1828-1893) Co. G, 9th New York Infantry Regiment, “Hawkins’ Zouaves” Lots 164-166 Having already served as a member of the 7th New York National Guard prior to the outbreak of war, Edward Jardine enlisted as a captain, mustering into Company G of the 9th New York Infantry Regiment, “Hawkins’ Zouaves,” on 4 May 1861. Having helped recruit the company, Jardine jumped straight into the fray, engaging at the Battle of Big Bethel the following month and at Forts Hatteras and Clark that August. For his commendable service, Jardine was promoted to the rank of major on 14 February 1862 and was shortly thereafter wounded at the Battle of South Mills in Camden, NC. Upon recovering, Jardine joined the 89th New York and co-commanded that regiment in battles at South Mountain and Antietam before rejoining the “Hawkins’ Zouaves” for the engagement at Fredericksburg in December of 1862 and at Suffolk in April and May of the following year.

He led recruits to put down the Draft Riots afflicting the city of New York in July of 1863 and was severely wounded and nearly killed by the angry mob. Though he did escape death, the wounds he received affected the remainder of his military career and plagued him for the rest of his life. He was discharged from a brief stint of service as a lieutenant colonel of the 17th New York regiment and transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps in May of 1864, where he served as a captain for the remainder of the war, and in which capacity he was brevetted a brigadier general in November of 1865.

Thirteen double-appliqued, 8-pointed cotton stars. The flag is all hand sewn, which suggests a pre-Civil war date. Cotton or linen hoist with attached suspension rings. The construction of the flag, including the worsted wool stripes and rings for suspension, suggests that the flag was made to be flown. Top and bottom edges as well as the hoist edge have rope sewn into them. [With:] Typed paper written on the Begeal Pedigree by Kim Begeal. In it, he states: “The Custers came to America from Germany or Holland and settled in the rich farming region of New York State near the Hudson River. An argument within the family sent part of the Custers westward to seek their fortune. This was the part of the Custer family to which George Armstrong Custer was born on December 5, 1839, in [New Rumley] Ohio. The remainder of the Custers stayed in New York State as modest farmers. In the early 1900s Anson Higbee Custer moved his family to Endicott, New York.” This is the branch of the family to which Kim belongs. The ancestor who moved to Ohio was Emanuel Henry Custer (1806-1892). His second wife was Maria Ward Kirkpatrick (1807-1882), George Armstrong’s mother. Kim only traces his Custer ancestors to William (1854-1928). George had a nephew named William (through his brother Nevin), but he was born in 1874. Accompanied by trunk in which the flag was discovered. $10,000-15,000

226 [CIVIL WAR] -- [SHERIDAN, Philip Henry (1831-1888)]. Personal headquarters flag of Philip Henry Sheridan used when he led the 2nd Michigan Cavalry. Spring - Summer 1862. 34 3/4 x 44 in. merino wool flag, entirely hand-sewn in five lineal panels. The upper and lower panels create red bars, which flank white bars below and above, respectively. The center bar, while blue originally, has faded practically to grey. The star, numeral “2” and crossed sabers are made of merino wool and are double-appliqued (applied to both sides of the flag). These are white in color. The crossed sabers are the traditional emblem of the United States Cavalry. The “2” represents the 2nd Brigade and the single star represents Sheridan’s status as a “one star” general. There is a coarse linen binding along the hoist with four whip-stitched, button-hole grommets. A materials analysis report from Fonda Thomsen, Director, Textile Preservation Associates, Inc., is available upon request. Serving as Philip Henry Sheridan’s colors from the Spring - Summer of 1862, the flag was used when he led the 2nd Michigan Cavalry with great effect and rose from Captain to Major General in just six months. Although Sheridan began his service with no previous cavalry experience, his rapid success with the mounted regiment caused Ulysses S. Grant to transfer his leadership to the entire cavalry of the Army of the Potomac. Among his many accomplishments, Sheridan went on to defeat Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley and was instrumental in forcing Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. The flag was given to an Elks Lodge in Niagara Falls, NY in the late 19th or early 20th century by a brother named G. Edwin Sawyer as indicated by the engraved plate that was attached to the original frame in which the flag was displayed, which reads: “This flag was used by General Philip Sheridan as his headquarters flag during the Civil War / Presented to Niagara Falls Lodge #346 B.P.O.E. by Brother G. Edwin Sawyer.” During the mid-1960s, the flag was discarded by members of the club during a clean-up. The flag was salvaged from the trash by Al Bobst, the club’s manager, who donated it to a man by the name of Elmer Eperyes of Youngstown, NY, who afterwards displayed the flag in his home. When Eperyes died in 1989, his executor, Barbara McLaren, donated the flag to a man by the name of Gary Scott (residence unknown), who displayed it in his home until the sale of the residence ten years later, in 1999. At this point the flag was sold. While the year during which the flag was donated to the Elks Lodge is unknown, information about G. Edwin Sawyer has been uncovered. G. Edwin Sawyer was born in 1869, just following the Civil War. He was the son of a prominent Union Army officer by the name of Nathanial C. Sawyer, a paymaster who distributed $3 million dollars to Sheridan’s army. He was thus well-known to Sheridan, but more than that, Sawyer actually left Washington, where he was stationed, to accompany Sheridan’s army in 1865 when they went on their famous raiding expeditions through the Shenandoah Valley (the Valley Campaign). Mosby’s Raiders, the famous Confederate unit, was harassing Union forces at the same time, in the same region. Each was hanging their captives and the bloody game went back-and-forth. It was during this time that Mosby’s men stole Sheridan’s payroll in the amount of $250,000. Sawyer, who had presumably spent most of the war at a desk until this point, remarkably set out on a dangerous mission to recover the money. Even more remarkable is the fact that he was successful in doing so and was afterwards awarded a brevet promotion to Lieutenant Colonel for “conspicuous bravery”. No doubt Sheridan was grateful to Sawyer for his actions and it seems likely that the flag was presented to him at this time as a heartfelt trophy. It is likely that Sawyer afterward accompanied Sheridan until Union Cavalry forced Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. The fact that the flag is made entirely of merino wool is very unusual. Most Civil war infantry and cavalry flags were made of silk; some were wool bunting, but few are entirely merino wool. This was a common fabric in homemade flags, but is typically seen in the canton and is seldom the only fabric. Commercial flag-makers advertised merino wool flags, but surviving flags made entirely of it are scarce. A beautiful flag with a unique format, which isn’t unusual for a Civil War period flag identified to a high-ranking officer. $20,000-30,000

A previously unknown portrait of the Texas pioneer Amasa Turner. The bust-length portrait features Turner with piercing eyes looking directly at the camera, his hair combed behind his ears. He wears a bowtie and string tie delicately enhanced with hand-gilding. With the outbreak of the Texas Revolution, Turner enlisted in the Texas Revolutionary Army defending Gonzales on 25 September 1835. He served as a lieutenant under Captain Robert M. Coleman in Mina (Bastrop) Volunteers during the Siege of Béxar. He then went on a recruiting mission for the revolutionary army, raising 99 volunteers in New Orleans by January 1836, most of whom were then organized into a company of regular infantry under his command. They joined General Sam Houston’s retreating army seeing action at the Battle of San Jacinto on 21 April 1836. After the battle, he was stationed at Galveston Island and by May 1837 he was promoted to colonel and given command of the Galveston post. After his retirement from the army in 1837, Turner found success in politics, serving in the Texas House of Representatives. During the Civil War, he served as the provost marshall of Lavaca County. $4,000-6,000

243 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY] -- [ALCOTT, Elizabeth Sewall (1835-1858)]. Ninth plate ruby ambrotype attributed to Elizabeth Sewall Alcott. N.p., [ca 1856-1857]. Inscription to tape on verso reads: “Alcott, Elizabeth.” Provenance: Elephant’s Trunk, New Milford, CT. The portrait, attributed to Elizabeth Alcott, depicts a young woman wearing a striped dress with wide sleeves and elaborate trim. She wears rings on her fingers and a cameo brooch. With hair parted down the middle and coiffed, her cheeks are delicately hand-tinted. The ambrotype was acquired in Connecticut, not far from Alcott’s hometown of Wolcott. There are no known photographs of Elizabeth Alcott, younger sister of Louisa May Alcott, but an undated extant drawing of her bears a strong resemblance to this photographic portrait. Elizabeth Alcott contracted scarlet fever in 1856, recovered from the initial infection, but with gradually worsening heart damage. If she had a photograph taken, it would likely have been in late 1856, by which time she would have recovered somewhat from the initial infection, or by the fall of 1857 before she began to be much sicker, consistent with this young woman’s clothing and the popularity and availability of ambrotypes. There are extant photos of the other Alcott sisters whom this young woman appears to resemble. Louisa May Alcott based the character of Beth March after her sister in the semi-autobiographical Little Women. $3,000-5,000 VIEW THE COMPLETE CATALOGUE AT COWANS.COM

245 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Half plate daguerreotype of firefighter Walter Van Erven Dorens. [San Francisco]: n.p., [ca 1854-1856]. Half plate daguerreotype housed in a full leather-clad, wooden case embossed with a geometric design. Sealed when consigned, cover glass replaced and resealed in May 2021. Scattered mold spiders on plate, line of moderate tarnish on the plate at the mat opening. This spectacular image was recently found in the Netherlands, and depicts Walter Van Erven Dorens posed in a red-tinted coat with a leather belt studded with letters spelling “Sansome.” His leather helmet ornamented with “Sansome,” crossed ladders and the number “3,” with the initials “WVED” below. His hand rests on a ladder, perhaps used to adjust a skylight in the photographer’s studio hidden under the mat; it is not of the type used by a fire company. The Sansome Hook and Ladder No. 3 of San Francisco, was organized on 14 June 1850, primarily by men residing on Sansome street and the surrounding neighborhood. The company’s house was located on Montgomery Street between Jackson and Pacific. By 1855, their ladder truck was the largest in the state and carried 50-foot ladders. Their motto: “Though Last Not Least.” The company was disbanded in 1860. Walter Van Erven Dorens is listed as a member of Sansome Hook and Ladder No. 3 between 1854-55. In spite of the fact that the maker of the image is not marked, circumstantial evidence suggests that Van Dorens might have been photographed by daguerrieans Robert H. Vance or James Ford, both of whom had studios within a few blocks of the Sansome Firehouse. Vance’s studio was at the corner of Montgomery and Sacramento streets three blocks west of the firehouse. James Ford’s studio was located two blocks north and west at the corner of Clay and Kearney. Little is known of Van Dorens. He apparently emigrated from the Netherlands to California during the Gold Rush. His name does not appear on the 1850 or 1860 Federal census, though he received his naturalization papers in January of 1857, and became a United States citizen. Van Dorens’ name first appears in a San Francisco City Directory in 1856, with his residence listed on the north side of Jackson Street between Montgomery and Sansome. Along with Samuel E. Paster, he operated a saloon located at 103 Washington Street. We could not locate an 1857 San Francisco directory, but Van Dorens does not appear in the 1858 directory. By the time this directory was published, we assume he had returned to the Netherlands taking this image with him as a memento of his years in California. Acknowledgments. Cowan’s is indebted to Mike Novak of San Clemente, California who first identified the Sansome Hook and Ladder Company and then deciphered the letters on Van Doren’s hat, which led to his positive identification. $15,000-25,000

274 [AFRICAN AMERICANA]. Album containing 152 photographs of sharecroppers, cotton plantations, and families at Elgin Plantation. Natchez, Mississippi, 1915-1917. 10 1/2 x 7 1/8 in. leatherette album, with 152 images, 3-4 sizes, most 2 7/16 x 4 3/8 in. Provenance: Thornton A. Green, Elgin, Natchez, Mississippi (gift inscription, affixed to inner rear board). An album depicting life in Natchez, Mississippi in the early 20th century, from ca 1915-1917. Thornton A. Green, his wife Anna, and son Thornton, Jr. moved to Natchez in 1914 to follow the burgeoning lumber trade. The Greens would become regulars in the society pages, often receiving guests from the upper midwest and visiting themselves. The album itself was a gift from visitors Harry T. Mercer and William K. West who wrote in their gift inscription: “to commemorate a most delightful visit at ‘Elgin’ in March 1916. The images include many of Elgin Plantation House, originally built in 1791 it features pillars, a porch, and a second-story balcony surrounded by tall trees with Spanish moss. In addition to family snapshots, the album includes images of the surrounding landscape, livestock and horses, a view of the Mississippi River, as well as architectural remnants from other plantations in the area including Laurel Hill, Monte Bello, and Sligo. Of particular note are 15 images showing African Americans in Elgin, many showing the humble tenant houses and outbuildings, possible remnants from the era of enslavement. In the 1920 census, several Black families are listed living in Elgin, several of which may be depicted here. Most have their parents’ places of birth listed as Mississippi, indicating that most were almost certainly the children of enslaved persons. One image captioned “Tenant’s House, Elgin” shows four white adults with a young Black boy standing in front of the meager log structure. Another labeled “Elgin Negross [sic]” shows an African American family of 6 with 2 dogs standing in front of a worn timber house with a raised foundation and small porch. An unlabelled snapshot depicts 9 African American sharecroppers with farming implements in a field. Two snapshots are labeled “Cook & Tuck” with fulllength portraits of two Black men in work attire, apparently on the porch and in front of Elgin Plantation, possibly laborers or hired help. An interesting image shows five men, 4 white men with a Black man at center, posing with their kills after a successful bird hunt. A companion image shows a white boy and a Black boy holding their own success from a frog hunt, the white boy holding a gun. A fascinating depiction of life in the Deep South during the era of World War I. $2,000-3,000

288 [WASHINGTON, George (1732-1799)]. Replica stained glass “marital alliance” panels featuring the Washington family coat-of-arms, early 20th century. Two stained glass panels, each measuring approximately 12 x 18 in. including suspension loop (soil, “Wasshington and Light” panel with several cracks). Both panels feature the Washington family coat-of-arms, two horizontal bars below three mullets (five-pointed stars) alongside the coat-of-arms of family allies through marriage. The “Wasshington and Light” marital shield celebrates the alliance through marriage of Robert Washington and Elizabeth Light in 1565 while the “Wasshington and Kytson” shield celebrates the alliance of John Washington and Margaret Kytson in 1498. The spelling of the family name “Wasshington” reflects the centuries-long evolution of the name from Wessyngton (ca 1100s) to Washington. In the 1500s-1600s a series of 7 marital alliance panels was made for Sulgrave Manor, England, the ancestral home of George Washington. According to the Corning Museum of Glass, after the Washington ancestral home changed hands in the nineteenth century, the original stained glass panels were removed. Five of the original stained glass panels remain in England at St. Mary’s Church in Fawsley while the Corning Museum is home to the remaining two panels. Replicas were made for the original house and installed after World War I. It is believed several other series of copies were made around this time which found their way onto the market in the early 20th century. The examples offered here are likely copies from this period. RARE. Auction records indicate just one sale of similar panels, in February 2021. Documented replicas are found at Sulgrave Manor; at the “Virginia House” (collections of the Virginia Museum of History and Culture); the White House (presented to Calvin Coolidge); and in two private collections. $5,000-7,000

289 JEFFERSON, Thomas (1743-1826). Autograph letter signed (“Th. Jefferson”), as United States President, to Robert Patterson. Washington DC, 2 July 1805. 1 page, 4to, evenly toned, small tear from seal. Jefferson writes to Patterson with an apology and rectification: “The failure to send your commission has been an act of forgetfulness of my own, as it should have been with you in time. I have directed it to be made out to-day I sent by this evening post, under date of the 1st inst. so that you will receive it by the mail which carries this letter. Accept friendly salutations and assurances of great esteem & regret.” The letter is addressed to Robert Patterson of Philadelphia, free franked and with a Washington postal mark. This could be Robert Patterson (1743-1824) who was the fourth director of the US Mint and the fifth president of the American Philosophical Society, an organization that Jefferson was deeply involved with since 1780 and president of the Society from 1797-1814. It is also possibly Patterson’s son, Robert Maskell Patterson (17871854), a professor and the 6th Director of the US Mint (1835-1851). He was also a member and President of the American Philosophical Society and one of five Society members chosen by Thomas Jefferson to instruct Lewis and Clark before their expedition. The younger Patterson became close friends with Jefferson, with the two men even occasionally writing to each other in code.

A second referendum was introduced in 1915 in New Jersey as well as New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts with active “Passing of the Torch of Liberty” campaigns, though this too was defeated. New Jersey became the 29th state to ratify the 19th Amendment on 9 February 1920. This sash and pinbacks date from this period of suffrage activism and features the symbolic colors purple, white, and gold.

Church Revival Banners of the Early 20th Century The late 19th and early 20th centuries continued the Third Great Awakening and saw the emergence of new Christian movements, such as Pentecostalism, Holiness denominations, and Fundamentalism, alongside a renewed vigor for tent revivals, evangelism, and global missionary work. Traditional denominations experienced challenges, and in some cases schisms, in part due to the response of traditional and fundamental beliefs to theological liberalism and cultural modernism. The hand-painted banners offered as Lots 317-338 reflect the religious fervor and passionate beliefs fomenting in this period of change.

Though the project was geologic in scope, the researchers had frequent interactions with the local Native Americans captured in these images. Most were taken by John Karl Hillers who was originally hired as a boathand for Powell’s second expedition in 1871. He began to assist survey photographers E.O. Beaman (#39-40, 75) and later James Fennemore. By the next season in 1872, Hillers had become the expedition’s chief photographer.

Graff.” Provenance: Mary J. Graff, a relative of James Harvey Simpson, chief topographic engineer for General Johnston’s Army of Utah (contemporaneous note). A complete list of titles is available at cowans.com. In the mid-19th century, a transcontinental railroad was conceived to open up the vast American West to easier settlement, economic development, and military advancement. The route was decided upon after the onset of the Civil War with the northern route being the most southernly one possible within the free states following the Platte River Valley. The 1862 Pacific Railroad Act allowed the construction to be possible with two companies building simultaneously: Central Pacific Railroad of California building eastward from Sacramento, and a newly formed company, Union Pacific, building westerly from Omaha, Nebraska. Construction was laborious from both directions, but the Union Pacific faced supply issues, especially for lumber in the treeless plains. They also face frequent attacks from Native Americans protecting their homeland. In October 1866, the Union Pacific reached a milestone by reaching the 100th Meridian near Cozad, Nebraska. Thomas Durant, the vice president and general manager of Union Pacific, hosted the “100th Meridian Excursion” with a group of politicians, reporters, and other notable figures which was captured by photography pioneer and Union Pacific’s official photographer John Carbutt. Views include the arrival at Omaha, Pawnee Indians, laborers laying railway ties, and many group pictures of the excursionists, dignitaries, press, and Union Pacific directors including Thomas Durant (image #224). A contemporary note included with the stereoviews: “Photos of Cousin Mary’s wonderful ‘trip’ in 1866, with Uncle Harvey Simpson. Who was government commissioner for the Union Pacific R.R.” A later hand records the planned event and how it was disrupted: “The purpose of this trip was the celebrating of the reaching of the 100th Meridian where it was intended to drive a golden spike! But word came that the Indians were on the war path. The party was hustled back out of danger and Cousin Mary never did see this ceremony (if it ever did take place).” James Harvey Simpson was the chief topographic engineer for General Johnston’s Army of Utah and published a Department of the Interior report ...On the Union Pacific Railroad and Branches...to Hon. James Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, November 23, 1865. The transcontinental railroad was completed when the two railways were joined at Promontory, Utah on 10 May 1869, with the driving of a golden spike. $10,000-15,000

392 [ALASKAN GOLD RUSH]. William Steele West (1872-1941) and family, extensive archive of photographs, diaries, correspondence, and personal items. [Ca 19th - 20th century]. Extensive archive of over 750 items documenting the lives of William Steele West and his family members, highlighted by approx. 275 items related to the family’s time in Alaska between 1900-1909, including: 2 folio albums containing approx. 86 large format silver gelatin photographs, most 8 x 10 in. or 4 1/4 x 12 1/2 in., as well as 28 personal snapshots, 3 x 5 in. or smaller, many mounted on 10 3/4 x 13 1/4 in. pages. The majority of the large-format photographs are titled and credited in the negative to A.B. Kinne, Nome, Alaska, and many are dated 1904. Some images also include penciled notations written by West or a member of his family. The photographs provide a study of Alaskan life at the turn of the century and include lumber, railroad, and mining operations, many involving the Wild Goose Company, striking landscape and city views, native inhabitants, and wildlife. Personal photographs of the Wests and their home are also included. -- Small album containing approx. 125 silver gelatin photographs, 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 in., mounted recto/verso on 5 1/2 x 7 in. pages, many with inked notations. A personal album documenting the Wests’ time in Alaska, providing several views of the West family, friends and associates, native inhabitants, pets, wildlife, and mining scenes. -- Composition book, 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 in., containing 54pp of highly detailed manuscript entries from William West describing the winter of 1900-1902 at Ophir Creek in the Council City (formerly Eldorado) Mining District of Alaska. -- 3 typed journals from William West, the first, a transcribed version of West’s manuscript journal from Ophir Creek referenced above (26pp), the second covers his journey from [Nome] Alaska to San Francisco 30 October to 21 November 1901 (10pp), and the third, his journey from Seattle to Nome, 10 May to 28 May 1909 (6pp). --13 walrus tusk objects, almost certainly souvenirs from Alaska, incl. fossilized walrus tusks (3), one with 14K gold accent. William Steele “Bill” West was born in Austin, Texas 21 May 1872. After graduating from the University of Texas and Cumberland University in Tennessee he became associated with the American National Exchange Bank at Austin. After three years as manager for the Water and Light Department, he became manager of the Wild Goose Placer Mining Company in Alaska, a Guggenheim gold property. While working in Alaska, he married Josephine “Joe” Johnson, daughter of a distinguished Austin family. They had one daughter, Margaret Anna West Goodrich. After spending nearly a decade in the placer mining business, West settled in Brownsville, Texas and began his law practice. He also was active in politics, becoming a member of the Republican State Executive Committee. A friend to many US Presidents, West was entertained at the White House under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. West was also nominated for Attorney-General of Texas by his party.

397 [TEXAS]. Exceptionally rare “Alamo” folk art carved limestone soldier’s pipe. [Texas], ca 1847. 1 3/8 x 3 x 3 in. carved limestone pipe (losses at mortise and bowl face, dark patina, light scratches). Front of the pipe bowl carved with “ALAMO” above a star and a shield with a now obscured design that appears to have included a keg, a corked bottle, and playing cards and inscribed “1847.” Side of bowl with contemporary, mostly illegible ink inscription. Likely carved during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), when the Alamo served as an Army barracks and way station for groups of soldiers. A similar example was gifted from Texas diplomat George Whitfield Terrell (18031846) to Andrew Jackson on 19 March 1842 (in the collections of The Hermitage Museum): “Gen. Jackson, Sir, I send you herewith a pipe as a memento of the friendship I entertain for you personally and the respect I hear your character. It is of no value itself, and derives its only consideration from the material of which it was composed, it being associated, being carved out of the stone of the Alamo, that memorable spot consecrated by the blood of Travis and of Bowie- of Crockett, of Bonham and many other noble hearts who yielded their lives a willing sacrifice in the cause of human liberty. Such an offering, although valueless in itself, I know will not fail to be prised [sic] by one who has ever shown a willingness to pledge his fortune - peril his life, and stake his reputation, in the same great cause in which these gallant spirits fell.” (quoted in Deeds of Glory: Biography of George Whitfield Terrell). The pipe is also listed (as #43 on Shelf No. 3) in Dorris, Mary C. The Hermitage: Home of General Andrew Jackson, 1963. [With:] Correspondence with Clinton M. McKenzie, Project Archaeologist at the University of Texas at San Antonio Center for Archaeological Research: “I spoke with a few other subject experts who know this period and material and we all think what you have is legitimate. There are apparently other mentions of people, soldiers and otherwise, making pipes out of Alamo stone as early as the 1840s - this fits with both the Andrew Jackson presentation piece with the date 1842 and your piece with the date of 1847.” $2,000-3,000

399 [TEXAS RANGERS]. Cabinet card of Captain Junius “June” Peak and his Frontier Battalion, Company B, Texas Rangers. N.p.: n.p., [ca 1878-1880]. 5 9/16 x 4 in. cabinet card on cardstock mount. Inscription on verso: “Capt. June Peak and two of his Rangers in a gag picture made about 1880 probably at Ft. Concho, Texas. (Capt. Peak on right end).” Provenance: George Jackson. An outdoor image that shows a rare glimpse of fully-armed Texas Rangers in field gear, near contemporaneous to the search, capture, and killing of notorious outlaw Sam Bass. Their horses, saddled with rifle scabbard can be seen tied to a brush pile behind them. Captain Junius “June” Peak, who led the hunt for Bass, is pictured on the right and reads a small document, perhaps a list of charges, and has a small Green River-style knife in a sheath behind his holster. Both Peak and the man on the left have early, wood-gripped 7 1/2 inch barrel Colt Single Action Army revolvers and Model 1873 Winchester rifles. The central man is armed with a large Bowie knife and a Colt 1860 Army cartridge conversion with the loading gate open. An engraving of Peak taken from this image is reproduced in Walter Prescott Webb’s The Texas Rangers p. 378. In April 1878, June Peak was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant of Company B of the Frontier Battalion and charged with raising a special ranger detachment to hunt down train robber and outlaw Sam Bass (1851-1878) whose gang intercepted the Union Pacific Railroad gold train on 18 September 1877 in Big Springs, NE. Peak organized an ambush was set up at Round Rock, Texas where Bass planned to rob the Williamson County Bank. After a frenzied gunfight, the wounded Bass was taken into custody and died the next day. For a biography of June Peak and more details of the Sam Bass affair, please visit cowans.com. $800-1,200

404 [WESTERN AMERICANA - LAW ENFORCEMENT]. Exceptional tintype of three armed Kansas lawmen, including sheriff and deputies. N.p. [Wichita, KS]: n.p., [ca 1880s]. 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 in. tintype of three men wearing matching hats, shirts and vests, each armed with Colt single action Army pistols tucked in gun belts. The man at far right wears a large, five-point star badge. A nearly identical tintype sold at Cowan’s Auctions, June 6-7, 2007, Lot 1151, listed as “found by the consignor at a local farm auction near Wichita, Kansas.” However, this example is differently framed to the center and is in better focus, possibly indicating that a duplicate was made, rather than an identical image at the time of creation. These men almost certainly carried some importance considering a duplicate image was made. [With:] Original correspondence from previous owner confirming Newton, Kansas provenance; copy of original purchase information; and photocopies of known photos of Kansas lawmen. $800-1,200
