“Stonewalls” letter reporting that the Union Army is in position to attack the Confederate Capitol in 1862

    CW-006

General T. J. Stonewall Jackson’s battlefield letter to General Joseph Johnston reporting Union General George McClellan’s massive Union Armies are in position to attack the Confederate Capitol in Richmond and that he will draw Union General Banks into battle. Completely written in Stonewall Jackson’s hand as follows;

“Head Quarters April 1, 1862 – My Dear General - All is good on the Front, but it is believed that (Union General) Banks will Advance on me as soon as his supplies arrive. Very truly yours T J Jackson”.

This was one of Stonewalls greatest single contributions to the Southern cause when he drew General Banks away from reinforcing General McClellan in their attempt to capture the Confederate Capitol in 1862 otherwise, Richmond may have fallen and the war would have been over just a year after it started. Stonewall led this campaign against a Union Army more than twice his size, driving them back to the Potomac River which in turn threatened the US Capitol in Washington DC. This is regarded by many to be the most brilliant military strategy of the war. In this communication he advises that he has in fact drawn Union General Banks into battle thus preventing him from reinforcing McClellan, which saved the Confederate capitol.

Condition: well written in dark ink, with folds where courier delivered it Beautifully framed by Ken Laurence with hand tinted engraving of Stonewall, map of the battle, and Confederate Seal all on a Gray velvet background. Frame size 20 x 30 inches.

This letter was hand written by Gen’l Longstreet when his military fortunes were at an all time low, as just two weeks earlier his misunderstanding of orders contributed to the Confederate defeat at Seven Pines. Latter in 1863 his delay at Gettysburg was believed to have cost Lee the battle. A rare battlefield communication between these two high-ranking Confederate generals.

Union Mississippi River Gunboat Flag and Manuscript Archive from the USS Grammage in 1864

    CW-021

“Shooting of a Freed Slave from a Louisiana Plantation by the Ship’s Captain and his Trial for killing the Freed Slave on the banks of the Mississippi”

Flag and Documents from the USS Garmage, Captain William Neil assigned to seize Confederate property from Plantations along the Mississippi River to supply the Union Army. This would be a remarkable museum display of the flag and the documents written onboard while ransacking Southern Plantations all along the river. Over 100 documents pertaining to taking Confederate goods and a lengthy manuscript file including the actual Court Case signed by witnesses of why he shot and killed a Freed Slave from one of the Plantations.

A little known or studied facet of the American Civil War of Union soldiers/sailors ordered to take crops & supplies from Southern Plantations for the Union Army of Occupation. Even less known or understood is the interaction of the Freedmen to their Union Liberators. It seems this freedman tried to get onboard the USS Garmage and against warnings, he persisted and Captain Neil shot and killed him in the water while he was trying to climb onboard. The Military Court documents are very interesting in that the only witnesses to the shooting were the US Navy sailors onboard the USS Garmage and they were all new recruits and immigrants mostly from Ireland and could not read or write, the ship captain prevailed and charges were dismissed but it was a dramatic trial. The Union Navy flag is of wool bunting and 13 Stars as was common with Union Boat flags, well used, torn and repaired onboard it is 3 x 5 ft. in size. A Historical & Unique display when exhibited together with the documents.
