The Contraband Schottische - Sheet Music
by Winner, Sep. [Septimus]
- Used
- very good
- first
Philadelphia: Lee & Walker, 1861. First Edition. Sheet Music. Very Good. Complete: 6 pages including the cover. The cover shows a white overseer, whip in hand, threatening four young male slaves. Slightly trimmed and with nice corners and old tape binding so probably from an old bound collection of sheet music. No rips, tears, writing, or other markings. Light marginal soiling. Dedicated to Major General Benjamin Butler, who at the time was the Commanding Officer of Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
In early 1861, three slaves, who had been working as laborers building defense-works in nearby Norfolk, snuck across the bay and presented themselves at Fort Monroe. Butler refused to return the slaves in accordance with the federal Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 maintaining that since Virginia had seceded from the Union there was no legal requirement to do so. With time, other escaped slaves began reporting to Union forces, and by August they were being officially identified as "contraband," an old naval term that referred to smuggled goods.

Description:
1862 1st ed Officers of Union Army Navy Generals American CIVIL WAR BattlesDuring the American Civil War, the public became quickly fascinated with the prominent figures in the Union and Confederate armies. So much so that authors quickly began publishing works describing the events and major figures of the war. Dean Dudley's 1862 'Officers of our Union Army' was one such work – a book that provided biographical sketches on Union generals such as Ambrose Burnside, Robert Anderson, George McClellan, and Nathaniel Banks.
This book also lists major victories for the Union from 1861 and includes portrait engravings of each general.

1884 1ed Confederate War Papers General Gustv Smith Battle Seven Pines Civil WarGustavus Woodward Smith was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, best remembered for his role in the Battle of Seven Pines. When General Joseph Johnson was injured, Smith took over the commanding role until his health deteriorated and Robert E. Lee ultimately took over.
Following the war, Smith published a memoir of his experience in the war. 'Confederate War Papers' covers topics including Jefferson Davis's presidential election, battle tactics and maneuvers, Confederate defenses and forts, and much emphasis on the Battle of Seven Pines. However, according to Nevins,
"Smith was a failure as a general; this work is largely his rationalization for shortcomings at Seven Pines."

1887 Civil War 1st ed George McClellan Own Story Union General Slavery Lincoln"The Union, which can alone insure internal peace, and external security to each State, Must and Shall be Preserved, cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood."
– George B. McClellan
A rare first edition of George B. McClellan's "Own Story" which wasn't published until 1887, after his death. McClellan used this work as a platform to defend his conduct, actions, and decisions during the Mexican-American War and Civil War. This book includes letters to his wife, in which McClellan reveals his pride as a general as well as his feelings toward war.
Some of the most important inclusions in this work are McClellan's views on the causes and reasons for the Civil War, noting slavery and the Lincoln-Douglas debates as primary causes, but he blamed the South as the culprit for causing the uprising, rather than putting any blame on the North.
Per Eicher,
"This is in large part a reworking of McClellan's 'Letter of the… Read More
