Description

Six items: original hand-tinted 7 x 3.5 stereoview of the perspective from Little Round Top overlooking the Valley of Death, published by Excelsior Stereo Views; a vintage albumen 7.25 x 4.75 photo of the seamen of the Union’s ironclad warship USS Sangamon, most likely printed during the late 19th century; original program for “Grant Night” held at the Middlesex Club in Boston on April 27, 1915, two pages, 4.75 x 7.5, featuring an image of Grant in uniform on the cover, and listing Senator Warren G. Harding as a speaker on the inside; original oval albumen 2 x 2.5 photo of Confederate surgeon Simon Baruch affixed to a color 5.5 x 3.5 postcard honoring the Civil War, presented on an off-white 8 x 6 mount which bears contemporary ink notations describing his participation in the Civil War.

Lyon for commutation of quarters from July 30, 1864, to October 18, 1864, with an endorsement by J. W. Johns written along the left edge; and a manuscript poem in an unknown hand, one both sides page, 8 x 10, no date, entitled “A Letter from Jim Crow.” In very good condition. RR Auction COA.
