One of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, the Battle of Stones River (also known as Murfreesboro) was almost a tied battle, but the pride of General Bragg forced one last rebel attack, and a superior Union Army routed the confederates on January 2, 1863, after three days of fighting. All of the Kentucky Confederate regiments were known as "Orphans," as both the United and Confederate States of America had a star on their flags, claiming allegiance of the state. In this battle, Major General Breckenridge, former vice president of the United States, led the "Orphan Brigade" of Kentucky volunteers. The March of the Orphans is an enlightening, entertaining book about a remarkable time in United States history. ; Kevin Horgan is a USMC veteran ('79-'84) and served as an infantry officer. He is committed to giving half his royalties to veteran allies . Signed by Author(s). Book.

no binding. Condition: very good. This 1854 hand-colored wood engraved historical print, titled "Scene After the Battle of New Orleans", is from An Illuminated History of North America, published by Bill, Witter & Co., New York. It visually dramatizes the aftermath of the Battle of New Orleans, which took place on January 8, 181…5, during the War of 1812. The image captures a chaotic yet solemn scene with American soldiers attending to the wounded and dead amid the debris of war, including overturned wagons, broken cannons, and scattered gear. Central figures, including officers likely representing General Andrew Jackson and his aides, are depicted giving orders or surveying the battlefield. In the background, a large American flag waves triumphantly over a makeshift barricade of cotton bales and earthworks, symbolizing American resilience and victory against British forces. This decisive American victory not only secured control of the Mississippi River but also elevated Jackson to national hero status, contributing to his eventual presidency. The engraving is signed "W. Croome" (artist) and "H. Britcher" (engraver), both known for their contributions to 19th-century American historical illustration, and it reflects the patriotic sentiment and historical romanticism common in mid-19th century American publications. Approximate Overall Size: 9 ins x 5 1/2 ins. Image: 6 1/2 x 3 3/4 ins. Blank on the back . There is typical period light ageing .Print is in excellent condition.

A fascinating letter in reference to his years spying for the British in Germany. He died a few months after writing the letter at the Battle of the Marne….

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 4th Edition. All four volumes (12mo) are signed in ink at the top of the title page by Admiral Lord Collingwood (Cuthbert Collingwood). With their small size in mind, these four volumes had been bought by Collingwood to be taken onboard ship during his campaigns. There is more than a d…istinct possibility they were present on HMS Sovereign during The Battle of Trafalgar. An unique set of books, linked to a pivotal event in British Naval history. On the death of Nelson, Collingwood assumed his position as Commander-in-Chief, transferring his flag to the frigate HMS Euryalus. Without Collingwood the outcome of the 21st October 1805 might have been very different, as would the future of Britain. Collingwood was in command of the very first ship to break through the French line. All four volumes are Very Good+, bindings are tight, pages clean, no signs of cracking. Apart from the signature of Cuthbert Collingwood in each volume, there are no other inscriptions or bookplates. A superb set. Books are exempt from US tariffs. Signed by Author(s).

Contact seller5-star sellerA significant manuscript from the aftermath of the celebrated victory of the United States Army under Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. Taking place on January 8, 1815, after the Treaty of Ghent was signed but prior to its ratification by Congress, the battle was the culmination of Britain's months-long campaign to ca…pture what was then the southwestern boundary of the United States. As impressive as the American victory over a force superior in both numbers and training may have been, the battle's most enduring legacy was the ascendancy of Andrew Jackson, whose success propelled him to national fame and ultimately the presidency. The present document is a manuscript true copy of the articles of agreement for a prisoner exchange between the American and British armies following the battle, likely in the hand of British Major Harry George Smith. These "Provisional Articles agreed on between Major Smith authorized by Major General Lambert and Edward Livingston aide-de-camp to Major General Jackson" were finalized nine days after the battle, on January 17. The ratio of soldiers captured at New Orleans, estimated at 484 British to only nineteen American, allowed Jackson to negotiate for the return of every American prisoner taken by Admiral Cochrane and the late General Pakenham's forces in the southwest. These articles decree that all American prisoners of both the army and navy held in the British camp or on prison ships by Cochrane will be returned, "and that on receipt of the said Prisoners a number of British Prisoners equal in rank and number.shall be sent to the mouth of the Mississippi to be received by ships appointed for that purpose by the Admiral." They further stipulate that, according to standard practice at the time, "Officers of equal rank shall be exchanged for equal rank and wounded for wounded as far as circumstances will permit." The document is designated a true copy and signed "H.G. Smith," with the signature of "Ed. Livingston" reproduced in the same hand. Also included here, on a separate folio sheet, is a brief "Extract of a letter from General Jackson, Commanding the Army of the United States of America at New Orleans, dated 9th January 1815." This excerpt, written in a different hand some years later, describes the sole success story of the British battle effort. In Jackson's own words: "Simultaneously with his advance upon my lines, he had thrown over in his Boats a considerable Force to the other side of the River. These having landed, were hardy enough to advance against the Works of General Morgan, and what is strange and difficult to account for, at the very moment when their entire discomfiture was looked for with a confidence approaching to certainty, the Kentucky Reinforcements, in whom so much reliance had been placed, ingloriously fled, and thus yielding to the Enemy that most fortunate Position. The Batteries which had rendered me for many days the most important service, tho' bravely defended, were of course now abandoned.The Enemy now occupied a Position from which they might survey us without hazard, and by means of which they might have been enabled to defeat in great measure the effects of our success on this side the River." The retreat of the Kentucky forces described by Jackson was less due to cowardice and more due to American General David Morgan's poor deployment of his command, which had left them with no realistic way to defend their position. Fortunately for the Americans, their routed forces managed to sabotage their artillery before retreating, and Thornton's gravely injured command was unable to provide support to their floundering allies on the other side of the river. Written on paper with an 1821 watermark, the purpose of this manuscript is not entirely clear, though it seems likely that an English contemporary was eager to prove that the battle had not been a complete failure for their forces. An interesting pair of British documents from the aftermath of one of the most famous military engagements in United States history. Light tanning, minimal edge wear. Both documents near fine.

Contact seller5-star sellerLetter. This 21 August 1704 autograph letter is signed by John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough and Captain-General of English and allied forces in the War of the Spanish Succession, eight days after the battle of Blenheim, from his field camp in Germany to Thomas Coningsby, later first Earl of Coningsby.The letter is writte…n entirely in Marlborough's hand on the first panel of a single sheet of watermarked laid paper measuring 13.1 x 8.6 inches folded once to form four 8.6 x 6.6 inch panels. The letter is dated at the upper left "Camp at Sefelingben Aug. 21 1704" and addressed "My Lord". The letter reads in full: "Your Lord will excuse me that I had not time to thank you for your kind congratulation on our success at Schellinberg, before we had gain'd a second, and much greater victory, which I hope will soon make an end of the War in the Country, it is a particular pleasure to me that my friends are satisfied in my endeavors to serve the Publick, and I shall be always glad of any opertunity to assure you that I am with truth." The letter closes with the valediction "My Lord. your Lordships most obedient humbler servant" and his signature, "Marlborough".Condition is very good, the letter complete, the paper substantially clean, the ink still distinct. Evidenced by faint creases, the letter was subsequently folded three times horizontally and twice vertically. Two notations, plausibly those of the recipient, appear at the upper left corner and just below the date and location, respectively "Duke of Marlborough to Ld. Coningsby" and "after the Battle of Blenheim". It is inked on the fourth and final panel in three lines "Duke of | Marlborough | Aug 1704" with an original ink stain partially extending down from the "u" in "Duke" to blot the "l" in "Marlborough".
