Horrall was at the battles of Perryville and Murfreesboro, operated in Middle Tennessee during the first part of 1863, later in the Chattanooga- Chickamauga campaign, and in 1864 followed Sherman to the sea and up through the Carolinas, finally reaching Washington for the 'Grand Review.' The narrative is sketchy and choppy, with some atmosphere but journalistic in style." DORNBUSCH I, INDIANA 124 [only source listed for this unit].

Becoming sick on this march, he was sent to hospitals in Lynchburg, Richmond, and Danville, but recovered in time to fight at Chancellorsville in May, 1863, and to join the Gettysburg campaign. Thereafter he fought in Virginia, including Lee's holding operations against Grant in the summer and fall of 1864, returned to Georgia on furlough in January, 1865, and engaged in no further fighting.

Before the addresses, "The assembly arose and about thirty veterans of the Civil War filed in and were given seats of honor." Several spoke; mostly members of Company K, 34th Virginia Infantry. Thus, this work offers several first hand Confederate accounts of the explosion of the mine at Petersburg and its aftermath. Edward Bagby, who had enthusiastically joined the King & Queen Artillery Company in the spring of 1861 was an old veteran of 22 when the mine exploded on July 30, 1864. He was serving as aide-de-camp to Colonel Goode, then commanding Wise's Brigade in the Petersburg trenches. Many witnessed Bagby's heroic actions in the confusing hours following the explosion. Defying death numerous times, he was finally killed while voluntarily serving a gun of Davidson's Battery. The eye-witness accounts, including Col. Goode's, attest that his bravery under fire was extraordinary. The monument was erected because "it was felt that the career of Edward Bagby was one that should inspire the youth of Virginia."

Boston: Edward F. Rollins, Publisher, 1883. 382,[2] pp.

Text in double columns. First edition. Original cloth, wear to spine ends and corners, small split in cloth at bottom of the front outer joint. A very good copy. This is the first full year of a serial publication which lasted only three years, 1883-1885. It contains: Volume 1, Number 1, January, 1883 - Volume 1, Number 12, December, 1883. A table of contents is provided on the two unnumbered pages at the end. The editor, Edward Fay Rollins, was a printer and business manager who had served in the 17th Massachusetts Regiment. Much like the Confederate Veteran, this Union work is comprised in the main of individual soldiers' reminiscences of life in camp and in battle. It includes stories both humorous and poignant. THE BIVOUAC is quite scarce. WORLDCAT (OCLC: 41331543) records only six institutional holdings. Three of these libraries do not have a complete run; two of the six have only the first volume, as is offered here.

133. Russell, William Howard. SKEDADDLE.
London: George Vickers, 1865. 316 pp.

First edition. Later cloth with paper spine label. This privately printed anonymous work of fiction was based on Russell's time spent in America during the Civil War. "In March, 1861, he arrived in the United States as a special correspondent for the London TIMES. Landing in New York, he entered the South in April and traveled by train to the Alabama River and thence to Mobile, Pensacola, and Fort Pickens; back to Mobile, by steamboat to New Orleans and Columbus, Kentucky, and by boat to Cairo, Illinois. Leaving the South, he went to Chicago, Niagara Falls, Philadelphia, and Washington, with various trips thereafter. He stirred up hostility in the South by his phobia against slavery, which he denounced time and again as barbarism. Yet he found much to praise in the South, where he met all the principle officials, civil and military, thought highly of them, and felt that the South would probably never be conquered. Discounting his bias and highly critical attitude toward all things American, one may get a remarkably vivid picture of life in the South during three months in the early period of the Confederacy." - Coulter. This work purports to be printed by Lieut. Robert Warneford, R[oyal] N[avy], a known psuedonym of William Howard Russell. This little known work was printed in a tiny edition shortly after this reporter skedaddled back to England. WORLDCAT locates only two copies.

Sanborn's men bore the brunt of the fighting at Independence, Missouri. In the summer of 1865 Gen. Sanborn conducted a campaign against the southwestern Indian tribes which resulted in the signing of treaties (ultimately valuless) at the mouth of the Little Arkansas River in October. A rare work.

A Paper Prepared and Read Before California Commandery Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, February 8, 1888. By Companion Chaplain Winfield Scott, U. S. Army, Late Captain 126th New York Vol. Infantry. First edition. War Paper No. 1 Commandery of the State of California. A rare pamphlet bound without rear wrapper into one-half leather with marbled paper sides. Some chipping to the front wrapper has been repaired. This item is bound together with: IN MEMORIAM WINFIELD SCOTT CHAPLAIN, MAJOR U. S. ARMY DIED AT SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1910 (San Francisco, 1910) 4 pp. This memorial record of Scott's life and service has a few manuscript corrections. Scott was first stationed at Harper's Ferry where he was wounded and captured. After being exchanged, he rejoined his regiment and was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg where he witnessed Pickett's Charge. Scott only describes what he saw "from the front line." The result is a much sought after primary source on this pivotal moment in American history. Scott later commanded two regiments, the 125th and 126th New York Infantry from May 6 to May 18, 1864. He was wounded in the left breast in Hancock's charge May 12th, and was severely wounded by a piece of shell, in the charge of May 18th at Spotsylvania. A manuscript note adds: "The contraction of orifice by the healing of this wound caused hernia & necessitated an operation from which he died."

First edition. Original stiff printed wrappers with cover title printed in gilt. A near fine copy with author's presentation slip. Major-General Gustavus W. Smith, C.S.A. carefully trods the ground of who was responsible for First Manassas not being a larger Confederate victory. Some say, tongue in cheek, that Beauregard simply cannot be blamed as large numbers of his troops were never engaged. Gen. Smith seems to agree, but for the most part he refrains from comment and simply reflects opinions offered to him in interviews. He states in the preface: "In the latter part of September, 1861, at the joint request of General Johnstons and Beauregard, I was appointed Major-General by President Davis, and ordered to report to General Johnston for duty, as commander of the Second Corps of his army, then at and in the vicinity of Fairfax Court-house, Va.

First edition. Original printed wrappers. The scarce separate printing of G. K. Warren's vindication. The Warren Court of Inquiry exonerated Gen. Warren completely of culpability at Five Forks while commanding the Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac. The court also criticized the manner of his relief by Gen. Sheridan. As chief engineer of the Army of the Potomac, Warren had won fame at Gettysburg, and is credited with seizing Little Round Top. A bronze statue of Warren, field glasses in hand, marks the spot today. After Gettysburg, Warren steadily rose through the ranks to permanent command of the Fifth Corps. His career was destroyed by being relieved days before the surrender at Appomattox. Warren spent his remaining years in the army in the Engineer Corps, only becoming a lieutenant colonel after the court of inquiry exonerated him. This work illustrates that even for the most competent soldier, a military career can be a fickle enterprise. NICHOLSON p.302.

First edition. Original printed wrappers, chipped along backstrip, rear wrap lacking. A good copy of a scarce and fragile item. A soldier's description of the "bummers," the drifters who preyed upon civilians in the wake of the Union army. Waters states, "He was all things to all women. Notwithstanding he had a family at home, he wooed the Southern maiden while a number of loving letters from his wife remained secure in his pocket. He asseverated to her that it was under a dire compulsion he dared not name that he took service in the Union Army; that, scorning proffers of high command in both the Army and Navy, he took the humblest position he could find; that although Grant was his uncle, he had not the heart to sanction the general's course; he prophesied a victory to the Southern cause and hinted at reclamation from the Northern purse for all the South had suffered or borne or lost; he declared that upon the conclusion of the vulgar and unconstitutional rapine and pillage of the Northern horde, he intended to return and invest his entire private fortune in that very vicinity." Though aware of their excessive behavior, Gen. Sherman refused to stop the bummers. As a result, many were summarily executed by Confederates. A special detachment of Terry's Texas Rangers hunted them on the flanks of Sherman's Army during his march to the sea.
