[HAMILTON, Alexander (1755-1804)]. [HOLTEN, Dr. Samuel (1738-1816)]. Dr. Samuel Holten’s personal copy of the Report of a Committee to the Continental Congress on a Military Peace Establishment, [1783]. 7pp, 8 x 12 ¾ in., on laid paper, 2 in. string binding at top center. A contemporary copy in an unknown hand of Alexander Hamilton’s draft committee report on the military peace establishment which is ascribed the date 18 June 1783. Verso of the document is marked “Massachusetts” in the same hand as the report, with identification then below in Holten’s hand “Report of the comme / on the peace army.” With the drafting of the Treaty of Paris in November 1782, plans for adapting the Continental Army for peacetime were expedited. By April 1783 Alexander Hamilton was appointed chairman of a Continental Congress committee “to consider what arrangements it will be proper to adopt in the different departments with reference to peace.” Additional committee members included James Madison, Samuel Osgood, James Wilson, and Oliver Ellsworth. Dr. Samuel Holten of Danvers, Massachusetts, replaced Osgood on 6 May 1783, and reported to Congress with his fellow committee members on plans for the future defense of the United States and for demobilization of the existing Continental Army. At the request of Hamilton, George Washington submitted his “Sentiments on a Peace Establishment” to the Continental Congress in early May 1783 arguing for the establishment of a “Peacetime Standing Army.” Hamilton and Holten’s committee echoed this sentiment, stating in their report that, “The Committee, are of opinion, if there is a Constitutional power in the US for that purpose, that there are conclusive reasons in favour of a foederal [sic] in preference to state establishments.” The report goes on to recommend “The Military peace establishment of the US to consist of 4 Regiments of Infantry, and one of Artillery incorporated in a Corps of Engineers, with the denomination of the Corps of Engineers. / Each Regiment of Infantry to consist of two Battalions each Battalion of 4 Companies, each Company of 64 Rank and File, with the following commisd & non commisd officers, pay, rations & cloathing [sic] to be however recruited to 128 rank & file in time of war, preserving the proportion of Corporals to Privates.” RARE. Hindman locates only one other copy of this report at auction, Elias Boudinot’s personal copy auctioned by Henkel’s in 1915. $2,000 - 4,000

Civil War full plate ambrotype of the interior of Fort Marion, showing artillery pieces and stacked round shot. Saint Augustine, Florida: ca 1860s. An important scene, and possibly one of the only hard images of Fort Marion (Castillo de San Marcos). The oldest masonry fort in the continental United States with construction beginning in 1672, the fort was renamed Fort St. Mark when the British gained control of Florida in 1763. When Florida was ceded to the United States in 1821, it was renamed again to Fort Marion. Florida seceded in January 1861 and Federal troops withdrew from the fort, leaving a caretaker, Ordinance Sergeant Henry Douglas. When Confederate troops marched on Fort Marion, Douglas handed over the keys once he received a signed receipt. During the early war, St. Augustine was an important base of operations for blockade runners and a high priority for the Union Navy. On 11 March 1862, St. Augustine and the fort were reoccupied by Federal forces when acting mayor Cristobal Bravo surrendered to US Navy fleet commander Christopher Raymond Perry Rodgers. After the War, the fort was used as a military prison, primarily for Native Americans. $4,000 - 6,000

Corporal John P. Casler (ca 1832-1922), Company G, 23rd Michigan Infantry Regiment. Archive of items related to Casler’s war service and post-war career, including a homemade silk flag, regimental ribbon, and journal featuring Battle of Resaca content. John P. Casler enlisted as a private on 13 August 1862 at Lebanon, Michigan. The following month he mustered into Company G of the 23rd Michigan Infantry Regiment. He was promoted to the rank of corporal on 1 May 1864, and it was that summer, when Casler’s diary entries begin, that the 23rd joined in Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign. After unsuccessfully charging Confederate forces at the Battle of Resaca, and suffering around 60 casualties, the regiment pursued the evacuating rebels and was engaged multiple times on the way to Atlanta, including at Lost Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain, and Chattahoochee River. The 23rd would go on to pursue Hood’s Army of the Tennessee until its ultimate defeat at Nashville in December. Casler was finally mustered out with his regiment on 28 June 1865 at Salisbury, North Carolina. $10,000 - 15,000

SHERMAN, William Tecumseh (1820 - 1891). Autograph letter signed (“W.T. Sherman”), as Commanding General of the US Army, to General Henry M. Cist (1839-1902). Washington, DC. 2 November 1879. 8pp, 5 x 8 in., on “Headquarters Army of the United States” letterhead. A compelling letter written to General Cist prior to the 19 November 1879 dedication of a monument in Washington, DC to honor Major General George Henry Thomas (1816-1870), a Union officer known as the “Rock of Chickamauga.” Sherman writes, in part: “...I wrote him [Grant] a letter giving him substantial reasons why he should participate in the last chance to manifest what I know are his feelings about Thomas...Grant and I knew Thomas, better than you or the thousands of his more modern admirers...Grant

AMERICAN HISTORICAL EPHEMERA & PHOTOGRAPHY

was also younger and of less experience in the Old Army than Thomas, and always respected his courage and systemic habits of discipline and preparation; yet every man has his peculiarities and Thomas had his. On the Defensive he was Grand. Mighty, and subject to all praise, but in 1864 the interest of this government demanded aggression. The offensive in the most vehement form, and here Thomas was slow and methodic. No one ever loved him more than I did. No man ever trusted him more than I did. Yet war is a monster that devours everything, and I must not be construed as questioning Grants motives even if his actions towards Thomas seemed unjust, for in December 1864, he Grant [sic] would have been justified in sacrificing father, brother, friend, anybody who stood in the way of success....” $3,000 - 5,000

Civil War-date letters of Corporal Edwin J. Barden, 7th Regiment Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, combat soldier and later clerk at Headquarters Department of the South, Headquarters X Corps, and Headquarters US Army, Office of Chief Commissary. Archive of 237 letters written by Corporal Edwin Janes Barden (1835-1902), 7th Regiment Connecticut Volunteer Infantry and later a civilian clerk. A prolific and descriptive writer, Barden’s letters range from 1-22pp, most approx. 4-10pp, with regular entries throughout his 4 years’ service. He was an eyewitness to significant events as they unfolded in the Department of the South and later in the Army of the James. References to Battle of Port Royal, capture of Fort Pulaski, Battle of Secessionville, Battle of Pocotaligo, Assault on Fort Wagner, Siege of Fort Wagner, operations against Charleston, Battle of Olustee, Fort Darling/Battle of Drewry’s Bluff, Siege of Petersburg, Deep Bottom, Battle of Fair Oaks, capture of Fort Fisher, and more. References to dozens of regiments and discussion of commanders most notably Quincy A. Gillmore, Alfred H. Terry, Benjamin F. Butler, and Ulysses S. Grant. Various places, 1861-1865.

HDS indicates that Edwin J. Barden of Canaan, CT, enlisted on 9/3/1861 as a corporal with the 7th Connecticut, Co. G., organized at New Haven under Colonel Alfred H. Terry. Upon departure with the regiment, Barden commenced this correspondence with his new fiancée, Sarah Maria Jones (1837-1917). “Sara” remained home near Salisbury, CT, carefully numbering and dating each letter as she received it from “Ned.” Though some letters are missing, the collection constitutes nearly the entirety of Barden’s correspondence to Sara. Well-written and immensely detailed, Barden’s correspondence provides a twotiered view of the hardships of war - first through his own experience as a soldier on the front lines and later as a clerk operating near the powerful generals who commanded the Union’s war effort. A LETTER ARCHIVE OF THIS SIZE FROM A SINGLE SOLDIER IS RARELY SEEN AT AUCTION. For a complete lot description, visit hindmanauctions.com. $15,000 - 25,000

JACOBS, E, photographer. Stereodaguerreotype of Millard Filmore housed in Mascher Case. New Orleans, Louisiana: n.d., ca 1854. Stereodaguerreotype comprised of two ninth plate daguerreotypes presenting a formal, and apparently unique portrait of Millard Filmore. The image was taken in New Orleans by renowned photographer Jacobs, possibly when Fillmore visited the Crescent City in April 1854 after he left the presidential office. His Southern tour was covered in the New Orleans Picayune and Frederick Douglass’ Paper, the latter covering the “warm and cordial welcome to New Orleans” the president received in a 12 April 1854 article. Fillmore continued to be involved in politics at the highest level after his presidency. He lost the 1852 Whig nomination to Winfield Scott but returned to the stage in 1856 as the presidential nominee for the nativist Know Nothing Party. SCARCE, APPARENTLY UNIQUE. Not documented in Seizing the Light. $7,000 - 10,000

[GERONIMO]. DALY, Henry W. (1850 - 1931). Diary of Campaign against Hostile Apaches in 1885-6 with Capt. Emmet Crawford, by Henry W. Daly Pack Master. [Cheyenne, WY], 29 May 1885 to 28 March 1886. First-hand account of the pursuit and surrender of Chiricahua Apache leader Geronimo written by Henry W. Daly, a civilian pack master employed by the US Army. 88pp, ink, 5 x 8 in. Includes references to Capt. Emmet Crawford, Tom Horn, Frank Leslie, General George Crook, and many more. Manuscript diary presumed to be a fair copy of field notes taken by Daly during the campaign. Housed in embossed brown leather cover with eagle motif, possibly of the period, but added by consignor at a later date. Daly was an Irish immigrant who learned the trade of mule train packing while in New Mexico Territory in the 1870s. In May 1885 he was employed by the US Army serving Captain Emmet Crawford (1844-1886), a cavalry officer whose detachment was tasked with locating and apprehending Geronimo following a “breakout” from the reservation. Daly’s diary entries detail the army’s pursuit, Crawford’s death at the hands of Mexicans in January 1886, and the March 1886 arrival of Geronimo into camp to meet General Crook. Daly notes on the 20th that “Geronimo [was] anxious for the Genl. to come and wants to know when he will be here. Tells Maus for no one to come to his camp this evening as his men are going to have a little Drunk states there will be no trouble but its best for every body to keep away.” On 25 March 1886, Crook and Geronimo began their negotiations. Daly notes in his diary entry for that day: “The Genl. said he listened to what he [Geronimo] had to say, and asked him, what had the troubles he complained of had to do with his killing innocent white men, women, and children…. He told Geronimo that he has lied to him that he was lying to him now. That he wanted better evidence of his good intentions than his word, and that they should surrender unconditionally or if they did not, he would hunt and kill the last one of them if it took him 50 years to do it…Told them they were like a pack of Coyotes running through the country &c. altogether the worst tongue lashing I ever listened to, I never saw the Genl. so worked up before.” Daly’s final diary entry then follows: “Geronimo and all his people surrender today to Genl. Crook unconditionally and we start for Fort Bowie in the morning.” AN IMPORTANT EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE RELENTLESS PURSUIT AND EVENTUAL CAPTURE OF GERONIMO.
