Confederate Ladies' Aid Society Archive, 1861-1864, Plus
Est: $800 - $1,200
Lot of 10 letters addressed to Alabama politicians, including Governors Andrew B. Moore (1807-1873), John Gill Shorter (1818-1872) and Thomas Hill Watts (1819-1892), concerning the wartime initiatives of various ladies' aid societies throughout the state. These groups quickly formed in both the North and South as women mobilized in support of the war effort. Their activities largely originated in the domestic sphere, including rolling bandages, sewing, and collecting funds and supplies. As the war progressed, however, many members assumed more vital functions, such as administering medical care and rehabilitating wounded veterans. Here, the authors express concerns over the organization of Confederate troops, the supply of clothing and other provisions available to soldiers, and the welfare of impoverished Southern families. Among the highlights is a remarkable letter, 2pp, approx. 5 x 6.5 in., dated March 30, 1861 and addressed to " His Excellency, A. B. Moore" from a Gainesville organization. In light of the " imminent peril" facing the country, the women of Gainesville, who call themselves the " Unconquerables," express their displeasure with the " rather backward [procedure of] raising companies to send to its rescue." Further, they write to informer Governor Moore that " a company of ladies was formed here the day the news was received of Lincoln's election, the company is at your command, whenever and wherever, you may deem it best to order it. We can leave the old women and children in charge of the gallant gentlemen." Writing with great urgency, given their belief that Gainesville is " so fast asleep that a Northern army could march in our midst, and hoist a Republican flag without the least resistance," the Unconquerables anticipate an equally swift response from the Governor. They question, however, the reliability of their post office, since it " is yet under Lincoln's control, and our Post Master openly avers his sentiments to be against secession." The majority of the content centers on obtaining fabric to make clothing for Confederate soldiers and supporting their loved ones. A group from Marengo County writes that they " can make clothes for a full company" provided that the cloth is " cut out before being sent" (March 18, 1862). The McKinley society explains to Governor Shorter that they " have a taylor [sic] in this place who has the measures of a number of soldiers, [so] if you can send the cloth, we can have him cut them according to those measures" (March 3, 1862). Another letter accompanies funds from a society in Marion sent to Governor Watts " for the purpose of purchasing cards for indigent soldiers' families in this County" (March 17, 1864). Finally, members of the Greensboro Ladies' Aid Society share with Shorter their dismay at State's failure to disseminate the clothing and other supplies its members had previously prepared for Confederate troops: " Since the Battle of Shiloh, the Ladies of this place have sent off quite a number of boxes designed for hospitals . . . judge our chagrin at learning that scores accumulating in the warehouses at Mobile, refused transportation because the press of business for the army is too great to allow for even a small part of such things as the sick & wounded are dying for the want of" (April 30, 1862). Also with a letter from Governor Shorter, 1p, 7.5 x 12 in., " Executive Department / Montgomery," dated November 18, 1863 and addressed to the "Gentlemen of the Senate / and House of Representatives." Letter addresses the efforts of the Mobile Ladies' Aid Society in ameliorating the conditions of " sick and wounded soldiers. . . and needy families." The State Treasury had previously appropriated $1400 to the organization, and Shorter recommends the appropriation of additional funds for the upcoming year, based on the impact of the group's benevolence.

Two 13th NH Infantry Diaries 1864-65
Est: -
Two Civil War diaries by Martin L. Moore, a musician with the 13th New Hampshire Infantry, Company K. The 13th NH Infantry was almost wholly a regiment of native Americans and of New Hampshire's young men, many of them lineal descendants of the patriots of 1776 who fought in the Revolution. Diaries span from 1864 through the end of the war and include battle content from the Siege of Petersburg, Cold Harbor, Fair Oaks and the Occupation of Richmond. Born in England, Moore enlisted in August 1862 and mustered out on 21 June 1865. First diary begins on 1 January 1864 and continues through 29 January 1865. Daily entries talk of camp life before the regiment fights in two momentous battles -- Cold Harbor and the Siege of Petersburg: ''â€¦We are still on our journey to Fortress Monroe. There was a fight aboard our gallant ship today. The sea is beginning to get very roughâ€¦Started from Bermuda Hundred and marched to General Gillmore's headquarters, from there to General Terry's headquarters and now we are guarding the breastworks on the extreme left of the armyâ€¦The troops on our right and centre opened a ball with the Johnnys. The gunboats fired a few shots and retired. Some troops have gone to cut the railroadâ€¦The troops what went to cut the railroad are having a battle on the left and the gunboats are helping them. They reduced one Fort to the groundâ€¦The Rebs are shelling us again todayâ€¦Today went out on picket with some of the 100 days men. Today the Rebs opened their batteries on us today and killed 3 men and wounded 5 moreâ€¦'' After Cold Harbor, the regiment begins daily fighting in the Siege of Petersburg, ''â€¦Today we started and marched miles and laid down in an open field. The shells began to come over here and came uncomfortably close to our headsâ€¦Today the Rebels wounded a lot of our men. They are shelling very hard. Sergt. J.R. Morrison was wounded in the head. We were relieved and marched 5 miles, under fire all the timeâ€¦Last night we halted in an open field and laid down for the night. We were under fire of shell and shot all night. No one was hurt todayâ€¦We struck out and marched to the front. When we got up there we went out on the front line of rifleâ€¦and under fire all nightâ€¦We have begun to shell the city of Petersburg. Under fire all dayâ€¦Today we were in the pits in front of the Appomattox. This afternoon we made a charge on the Rebs and took a line and 150 prisoners and at night our batteries opened on the city and lit it on fire. It was a splendid lightâ€¦Today we were surprised when we woke up to see the Rebs building a battery right in front of our campground and they are practicing with their big guns on our batteriesâ€¦Today we were in the pits in front of the Rebs. Flag of truce went out. We saw a great many Rebs standing and their pits there was a horrible sight. 200 men lay dead and wounded in front of our pits and the Rebs won't let the wounded men come inâ€¦Tonight the Rebs made an attempt to blow up our fort, but did not succeed. We knew all about it and so we were prepared. We fell in and marched up to the frontâ€¦'' Daily entries leading up to the occupation of Richmond in April 1865 read, ''â€¦I went to see the execution of two deserters today, belonging to the 8th Connecticut Regiment. They had to shoot them twice before they diedâ€¦Today we hurried to man the breastworks. The Rebels began to shell Fort Burnham and Fort Gilmer, then some at us, but nobody hurtâ€¦September came in clear and cold, but with a very pleasant day. It begins to look more peaceful than when we were around Petersburg. He we can go round without fear of the Rebs shooting at usâ€¦Glorious news, we hear the Sherman has taken Atlantaâ€¦We miss the booming of cannon and the rattle of musketry that was so incessant at Petersburgâ€¦We are to have a grand revisit tomorrow by Gen. Foster. Gen. Grant passed todayâ€¦We are still laying idle. The talk is now that we will go right on to Richmond, which I hope we will, and destroy the Rebel Capitol. There is great excitement in Richmondâ€¦'' Entries from battle at Fair Oaks read, ''â€¦Deserters are increasingâ€¦Thursday morning we started and went up the Richmond Road as far as Malvern Hill where McClellan fought his great battleâ€¦Friday we started from Fair Oaks and left a picket line and some cavalry to protect the rear of the army. We were up to Seven Pines and fought there. We saw McClellan's old breastworks. We had an awful time marching through the mudâ€¦'' The Occupation of Richmond entry on 3 April 1865 reads, ''Monday morning we were ordered out and marched on the New Market Road and walked right into Richmond. The city was all on fire when we arrivedâ€¦We heard the surrender of General Lee and his army. There was a salute fired in the squareâ€¦'' Diary measures 3'' x 6''. Second diary covers events throughout 1865 with an emphasis on the war's end. Wear to leather covers; binding loose, though still intact. Overall, good condition. Diaries accompanied by tintype, likely of Moore, measuring 2.75'' x 3''. Accompanied by full transcriptions of both diaries.
