About this Item
Description:
123pp. Gathered signatures, stitched. Minor spotting and dust soiling. Very good. Unopened. A lengthy volume of correspondence between Gen. Mansfield Lovell and the War Office in Richmond regarding New Orleans' defenses. Upon his resignation as deputy street commissioner of New York City, Lovell was made a major general in the Confederate army charged with the defense of New Orleans. His constant want of arms and men is borne out in the present correspondence, as is his desire to keep the transmissions as secret as possible. His material insufficiencies compelled him to evacuate the city, nearly guaranteeing Union control of the Mississippi. A Confederate board of inquiry judged him responsible for the loss, and he was barred from any further major command. Important background to one of the most important Union victories of the war. Quite scarce. HOWES L523, "aa." PARRISH & WILLINGHAM 2316. GENERALS IN GRAY, p.194. Seller Inventory # WRCAM32357
