KINGS GUARD 2ND REGIMENT NAPOLEON TROOP DISCHARGE

Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 931)      

Original Discharge of a soldier from the 2nd Regiment King's Guard. The discharge is dated 1818 and is named to Pierre Louis Tambour of the 2nd Regiment Infantry La Guarde Royale. The document gives a brief description of Tambour and also gives an account of the battles he was in including Battle to Gain Portugal 1807, Surrender of Portugal 1808 War with Spain 1813 finally to return home back to France in 1813. Document shows soiling but it's 200 years old and remarkably in good condition. Peninsular War and Erfurt (1807-1808) The settlements at Tilsit gave Napoleon time to organize his empire. One of his major objectives became enforcing the Continental System against the British. He decided to focus his attention on the Kingdom of Portugal, which consistently violated his trade prohibitions. After defeat in the War of the Oranges in 1801, Portugal adopted a double-sided policy. At first, John VI agreed to close his ports to British trade. The situation changed dramatically after the Franco-Spanish defeat at Trafalgar; John grew bolder and officially resumed diplomatic and trade relations with Britain. Unhappy with this change of policy by the Portuguese government, Napoleon negotiated a secret treaty with Charles IV of Spain and sent an army to invade Portugal. On 17 October 1807, 24,000 French troops under General Junot crossed the Pyrenees with Spanish cooperation and headed towards Portugal to enforce Napoleon's orders. This attack was the first step in what would eventually become the Peninsular War, a six-year struggle that significantly sapped French strength. Throughout the winter of 1808, French agents became increasingly involved in Spanish internal affairs, attempting to incite discord between members of the Spanish royal family. On 16 February 1808, secret French machinations finally materialized when Napoleon announced that he would intervene to mediate between the rival political factions in the country. Marshal Murat led 120,000 troops into Spain. The French arrived in Madrid on 24 March, where wild riots against the occupation erupted just a few weeks later. Napoleon appointed his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, as the new King of Spain in the summer of 1808. The appointment enraged a heavily religious and conservative Spanish population. Resistance to French aggression soon spread throughout Spain. The shocking French defeat at the Battle of Bailén in July gave hope to Napoleon's enemies and partly persuaded the French emperor to intervene in person. Before going to Iberia, Napoleon decided to address several lingering issues with the Russians. At the Congress of Erfurt in October 1808, Napoleon hoped to keep Russia on his side during the upcoming struggle in Spain and during any potential conflict against Austria. The two sides reached an agreement, the Erfurt Convention, that called upon Britain to cease its war against France, that recognized the Russian conquest of Finland from Sweden, and that affirmed Russian support for France in a possible war against Austria "to the best of its ability". Napoleon then returned to France and prepared for war. The Grande Armée, under the Emperor's personal command, rapidly crossed the Ebro River in November 1808 and inflicted a series of crushing defeats against the Spanish forces. After clearing the last Spanish force guarding the capital at Somosierra, Napoleon entered Madrid on 4 December with 80,000 troops. He then unleashed his soldiers against Moore and the British forces. The British were swiftly driven to the coast, and they withdrew from Spain entirely after a last stand at the Battle of Corunna in January 1809. Napoleon would end up leaving Iberia in order to deal with the Austrians in Central Europe, but the Peninsular War continued on long after his absence. He never returned to Spain after the 1808 campaign. Several months after Corunna, the British sent another army to the peninsula under the future Duke of Wellington.

CIVIL WAR UNIT HISTORY OF FULLER'S OHIO BRIGADE OV

Lot # 2 (Sale Order: 2 of 931)      

Press of A.J. Watt, Cleveland, 1909, 623 pgs., 1909. Hardcover. Book Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Hinges are tight and interior is also excellent. Very bright decorative front cover with gilt lettering on spine. A dependable brigade history of service in the west by four Ohio regiments of volunteer infantry: 27th, 39th, 43rd, 63rd. A necessary source for any study of campaigning in the west and camp life. 1/600 copies, exceedingly scarce. This copy has a dedication to a member of the 43rd OVI. Along with the book is an original order form for the book. Early life and career John W. Fuller was born in the village of Harston, located in the English county of Cambridgeshire. His father was a minister of the Baptist faith and also a graduate of Bristol College in England, and was responsible for much of Fuller's primary education. In 1833 Fuller relocated with the family to Oneida County, New York. There the rest of his education came from reading in a bookstore in Utica, and starting in 1841 Fuller began working there. By 1852 Fuller owned and operated a publishing business in Utica, and later was the city's treasurer. He was also active in the New York State Militia, serving as an officer. In 1853 Fuller married Anna B. Rathbun, also a resident of Utica. The couple would have six children together; three sons named Edward, Rathbun, and Frederick, and three daughters named Florence (later married to Thomas A. Taylor), Jennie, and Irene. In 1858 Fuller's business was destroyed by a fire, and he moved to Toledo, Ohio, where he again began operating a book publishing firm. Civil War service When the American Civil War began in 1861, Fuller chose to follow his home state and the Union cause. He was ordered to train soldiers in Grafton, Virginia, which is in modern-day Taylor County, West Virginia. He also briefly served on the staff of Brig. Gen. Charles W. Hill. On August 18 Fuller was given command of the 27th Ohio Infantry with the rank of colonel. Fuller and the 27th first served in Missouri under Brig. Gens. John Pope and David Hunter. He and his command then participated in Pope's efforts at New Madrid on March 14, and then the Battle of Island Number Ten from February 28 to April 8, 1862. In the fall of 1862 Fuller was given brigade command in the Army of the Mississippi. He led it in Mississippi during the Battle of Iuka on September 19, and the Second Battle of Corinth on October 3–4. On December 31 his command fought at Battle of Parker's Cross Roads in Tennessee. During the battle, Fuller's brigade approached undetected and got behind Confederate Brig. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's position. Left with no choice but to attack the Federal forces in his front and rear, Forrest had his men charge and repel Fuller's command, and then quickly reverse and move past and through the rest of the Union soldiers. Fuller and the other Federal units managed to capture six pieces of artillery, about 300 prisoners, and 350 horses, but Forrest's scattered men were able to escape and re-crossed the Tennessee River four days later. Fuller spent most 1863 on garrison duty within the Army of the Tennessee, and was promoted to brigadier general on January 5, 1864. In March 1864 Fuller led his command across the Tennessee River and captured the city of Decatur, Alabama. He participated in the Atlanta Campaign that summer, and temporarily lead a division during the Battle of Atlanta on July 22. He again led his brigade during the March to the Sea in late 1864, and in the Carolinas Campaign of 1865. Fuller was brevetted to the rank of major general in the Union Army on March 13, and after the end of the war he resigned that fall. Fuller was one of the few generals in the Civil War who was not born in the United States. Postbellum John Wallace Fuller Fuller resigned from the Union Army on August 15, 1865, and returned to his civilian life in Ohio. He was the senior partner of the firm Fuller, Childs & Company in Toledo, a business dealing in the wholesale of boots and shoes. In 1874 Fuller was appointed the collector of customs for Toledo, a post he held until 1881. On October 3–4, 1878, the members of the "Ohio Brigade" held a reunion at Columbus, Ohio, in which Fuller attended and made a speech. During the event a permanent organization was created for future reunions, with Fuller as its first president. In 1888 he retired from his business concerns. Fuller was in Toledo when he died in 1891, and was buried in the city's Woodlawn Cemetery.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN MOLLUS MEDAL GROUPING W BOX NUMD

Lot # 2a (Sale Order: 3 of 931)      

Mollus medal grouping belonging to Thomas A Sayor of Saginaw Mi. The grouping consist of 1) His numbered 16955 Mollus Medal (Military Order Of The Loyal Legion Of The United States) that is partially cased with the lower portion of the box and part of the lid. Medal is in near mint state and is made of 10k Gold. 2) National League of Veterans and Sons lapel pin that is hallmarked to the reverse. 3) Three Sons of Union Veterans membership medals with original ribbons. The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), or simply as the Loyal Legion is a United States patriotic order, organized April 15, 1865, by officers of the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps of the United States who "had aided in maintaining the honor, integrity, and Supremacy Clause of the national movement" during the American Civil War. It was formed by loyal union military officers in response to rumors from Washington of a conspiracy to destroy the Federal government by assassination of its leaders, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. They stated their purpose as the cherishing of the memories and associations of the war waged in defense of the unity and indivisibility of the Republic; the strengthening of the ties of fraternal fellowship and sympathy formed by companionship in arms; the relief of the widows and children of dead companions of the order; and the advancement of the general welfare of the soldiers and sailors of the United States. As the original officers died off, the veterans organization became an all-male hereditary society. The modern organization is composed of male descendants of these officers (hereditary members), and others who share the ideals of the Order (associate members), who collectively are considered "Companions". A female auxiliary, Dames of the Loyal Legion of the United States (DOLLUS), was formed in 1899 and accepted as an affiliate in 1915.

LADIES OF THE GAR GOLD PRESIDENTS BADGE CIVIL WAR

Lot # 4a (Sale Order: 6 of 931)      

Beautiful three piece 10k marked named Ladies Of The Grand Army Of The Republic enameled badge weighing 6.34 grams with a value in smelt of $146.65 in today's market with fine enamels. Badge is named to the reverse Clara Fair Past Pres. Presented By Henry S. Weaver Circle 205 1936 10k. The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic is a national non-profit organization deeply rooted in history. When thousands of men answered President Lincoln’s call to save the union (1861-1865), their women on the home front worked tirelessly to give them support. After the Civil War in 1866, the Union Veterans organized the first Veteran’s organization, the Grand Army of the Republic. As these Veterans grew older, many women’s groups formed to aid comrades, widows and orphans. In 1881 an organization called The Loyal Ladies League was established as an auxiliary to the G.A.R. By 1886 these ladies nationalized changing their name to The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. 1910 found the LGAR having active membership in 29 states with over 60,000 members. The original objectives of the organization were many; including volunteer hours and dollars to community activities involving Veteran’s homes, hospitals, and the care of the elderly. The LGAR has erected numerous memorials and monuments over the years to preserve the memory of our brave boys in blue. Members were and continue to be fervent teachers of history and patriotism, along with work supporting the veterans and active duty military of the United States of America. One of the remaining five Allied Orders of the G.A.R., in 1959 the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic was Chartered by Congress of the United States under Public Law 86-47, and remain dedicated to their mission today. During the years 1861-1865 various societies of women formed to aid and support the “Boy’s in Blue” as they fought to save our Union. Upon the formation of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1866 many of these women continued their efforts to aid the Veterans and their dependant ones. Thus, in compliance with General Order No. 14 issued by Colonel C.H. Houghton Commander of the G.A.R. in the Department (state) of New Jersey, an executive committee of five ladies met at Trenton, New Jersey November 30, 1881 for the purpose of organizing a State Department of Aid Societies and to formulate such rules and regulations for work tending to benefit the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.). A second meeting was held December 15, 1881 at Trenton to adopt a charter and elect officers and begin work as the “Loyal Ladies’ League, Auxiliary to the G.A.R. Departmentof NewJersey.” At the first convention held in Camden, New Jersey on January 25, 1883, 16 Leagues were reported with a membership of 776. In order to consolidate the various societies which were now forming throughout the United States to assist the G.A.R., Commander-in-Chief Paul Van Dervoort issued a call for a meeting to be held in Denver, Colorado on July 25, 1883 for the purpose of organizing one national auxiliary to the G.A.R. Many interested women as well as those who were already delegates from organized Departments and independent aid societies answered the call. Although general agreement on the purposes and functions of this new organization existed, a strenuous debate ensued concerning eligibility for membership. The “Woman’s Relief Corps of Massachusetts contended that all loyal women should have the privilege of joining while the Loyal Ladies’League felt that the wives and blood kin of the Veterans should have the right to the eligibility. At the final vote a small majority decided that membership should be open to all loyal women thus making the“Woman’sRelief Corps” the recognized Auxiliary to the G.A.R. The “Loyal Ladies’ League” continued their work in New Jersey and established a monthly paper to publish news of their activities and promote the objects and principals of the order. The following year found Leagues in Pennsylvania joining those in New Jersey and in 1885 Departments were established in California and Kansas. At the invitation of theIllinois Department Ladies of the G.A.R., a convention was convened in Chicago during November, 1886 for the purpose of forming a national organization. By the end of the first day all agreed to strike the words“Auxiliary to theG.A.R.” and the name and ritual of the Ladies of the G.A.R. were adopted while the badge, charter forms, and general plan of operations of the Loyal Ladies’League was continued. The new National Order began with nothing in its treasury, but thanks to strong support of many G.A.R.comrades, the next meeting held in Columbus, Ohioin 1888 found the treasury with a full line of working material, all bills paid, a large increase in membership,and funds on hand to begin the next year’s work.

1826 OHIO MILITIA COMMISSION TO AID DE CAMP

Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 7 of 931)      

Early Ohio militia commission dated 1826 signed by the 9th Governor of the State of Ohio Jeremiah Morrow. This commission is named to John Kensinger to be appointed Aide De Camp to Major General R, Young of the 10th Division Ohio Militia. Document was framed was looks to be in the 1960's and still retains the Ohio State Seal. Jeremiah Morrow was a legislator, political leader and the ninth Governor of Ohio. Jeremiah Morrow was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania, on October 6, 1771. The oldest of nine children of a Scotch-Irish family, he grew up on a farm only a few miles from Gettysburg. Morrow moved to the Northwest Territory in 1795 and settled first in the small community of Columbia. In 1799, he moved with his bride, Mary Parkhill, to a log home in Warren County. Morrow became a well-respected member of his community. His neighbors elected him to the territorial legislature in 1801 as Ohio was preparing for statehood. Morrow allied himself with Thomas Worthington and his supporters, who opposed Governor Arthur St. Clair's plans to delay Ohio's statehood. He served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1802 as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party. After Ohio became a state, he was elected to the Ohio Senate. He did not serve in this position long as the state soon selected him to serve as Ohio's only Congressman in the United States House of Representatives. Morrow served in the House from 1803 to 1813, when the state legislature appointed him to the United States Senate. He continued to serve in Congress until 1819, when he decided to return home to Ohio. While in Congress, Morrow gained a reputation for his knowledge about public land policies and he helped reduce both the cost and required acreage for public land sales. Morrow voted in favor of the United States entering the War of 1812. Once back in Ohio, Morrow served on the Ohio Board of Canal Commissioners with Benjamin Tappan, Alfred Kelley, Thomas Worthington, Ethan Allen Brown, Isaac Minor, and Ebenezer Buckingham, Jr. This group studied the possibility of linking the Ohio River with Lake Erie through the construction of a series of canals. As a result of their work, the Ohio and Erie Canal and the Miami and Erie Canal were begun in 1825 Morrow ran for governor in 1822 against Allen Trimble and William W. Irwin and won. He was re-elected in 1824. During Morrow's two terms as governor, the economy of the state grew significantly. Ohio finally emerged from the Banking Crisis of 1819 and dramatically increased its transportation infrastructure. In addition to canals, the National Road reached Ohio at this time and greatly improved Ohio's connections with the East. The state legislature also passed a law providing state support for public education during Morrow's tenure as governor. After leaving the governorship, Morrow returned to state politics in 1827. He served in the state senate for one term and then in Ohio's House of Representatives in 1829-1830 and 1835-1836. He also returned to Washington, D.C., as a representative in December 1840, completing Thomas Corwin's term and then running for one final time in 1841. Morrow refused to run for reelection in 1843 because he felt that a new generation of leadership was emerging in the country. During the late 1820s and 1830s, Morrow became one of the founding members of the Whig Party in Ohio. He was a member of the Electoral College three times as a representative of the state. Morrow was the first president of the Little Miami Railroad from 1837 to 1845. He spent his final years at his home near Lebanon, Ohio, running a saw and gristmill and participating in local politics as a township trustee, school director, and superintendent of roads. He died at his home on March 22, 1852, at the age of eighty.

Cockerill, Frederick Schultz, Wilbur F. Goodspeed. This regiment was organized at Ravenna, Cincinnati, Camp Dennison, Cleveland, Columbus and Camp Chase from Aug. 6, 1861, to June 4, 1862, to serve for three years. Battery A left in Sept., 1861, for Louisville, Ky., receiving its equipment at Cincinnati while on the march. It made several laborious marches during its first year of service, but it did not participate in actual hostilities until the fall of 1862, when at Dog Walk, Ky., a portion of the battery was engaged. It performed effective service throughout the entire battle at Stone's river until the last gun was disabled by a shot from the enemy, and then the officers and men aided in working other batteries on the field. It participated in the movement on Tullahoma, fought at Hoover's and Liberty gaps, and accompanied Gen. McCook over Sand mountain. It took part in the battle of Chickamauga and did some of its best fighting on those eventful days, but not without the loss of 17 men killed and wounded. It entered Chattanooga with the army and aided in the defense of that place. It reenlisted, and after the 30-days' veteran furlough returned and participated in the whole of the Atlanta campaign. From Atlanta it went back to Chattanooga and thence to Columbia, at which point it was engaged with the Confederates under Gen. Hood.

Thomas, then in command at Camp Dick Robinson, Ky. The first experience it had in the field was a brisk little affair at Camp Wild Cat, in which it fired 12 rounds and silenced one of the enemy's guns. It took part in the battle of Mill Springs and performed very effective service. At the battle of Perryville it had a position on the right wing of the army, but was not engaged. On Dec. 26 it moved with its brigade and division toward Murfreesboro, skirmishing heavily with the enemy in and around La Vergne. It bore its part throughout the battle of Stone's river, losing 17 men, killed, wounded and missing, and 21 horses killed. It remained near Murfreesboro up to June 24 and then joined in the advance of the Federal forces on Tullahoma, marching with the left in Gen. Crittenden's corps. On the second day of the battle of Chickamauga the battery was charged by a large body of the enemy, but succeeded at first in beating them off; but a second charge overwhelmed the battery and it was compelled to leave 2 of its guns in the hands of the foe. In this charge several members of the battery were wounded and captured. The battery was cooped up with the rest of the army in Chattanooga, suffering all the privations of that siege, and participated in the battle at that place. Battery C was organized and mustered into the U. S. service on Oct. 8, 1861, and left camp under orders to report to Gen. George H. Thomas at Camp Dick Robinson Ky. It joined the expedition which resulted in the battle of Mill Springs and the defeat of the Confederate Gen. Zollicoffer, there doing some effective firing. In the advance of the army on Corinth the battery was almost incessantly engaged, performing some of the most arduous duty of the campaign. At Chickamauga it fought under the immediate eye of Gen. Thomas and received a verbal compliment from that officer on the field of battle, its loss there being 13 men, 30 horses, and 1 gun dismounted. It fell back with the army into Chattanooga and was thereafter engaged in the battle of Missionary ridge. At the close of this campaign it reenlisted, was furloughed home, and in March, 1864, again reported for duty.

CIVIL WAR CDV OF KNOCKED OUT CONFEDERATE GUN

Lot # 7 (Sale Order: 9 of 931)      

Very clear Civil War Confederate Field Piece that has been knocked out of commission. Reverse of the Carte de visite has a photographer's name McPherson & Oliver Baton Rouge La. The image it's self is crystal clear of the damage as a result in a direct hit on the piece. Excellent. The American Civil War (also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States from 1861 to 1865, fought between the northern United States (loyal to the Union) and the southern United States (that had seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy).[e] The civil war began primarily as a result of the long-standing controversy over the enslavement of black people. War broke out in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina shortly after Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated as the President of the United States. The loyalists of the Union in the North, which also included some geographically western and southern states, proclaimed support for the Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, who advocated for states' rights to uphold slavery. Of the 34 U.S. states in February 1861, seven Southern slave-holding states were declared by their state governments to have seceded from the country, and the Confederate States of America was organized in rebellion against the U.S. constitutional government. The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional states of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from native secessionists fleeing Union authority. These states were given full representation in the Confederate Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining "slave states", Delaware and Maryland, were invited to join the Confederacy, but nothing substantial developed due to intervention by federal troops. The Confederate states were never diplomatically recognized as a joint entity by the government of the United States, nor by that of any foreign country. The states that remained loyal to the U.S. were known as the Union. The Union and the Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South for four years. Intense combat left between 620,000 and 750,000 people dead. The Civil War remains the deadliest military conflict in American history, and accounted for more American military deaths than all other wars combined until around the Vietnam War. The war effectively ended April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. Confederate generals throughout the southern states followed suit, the last surrender on land occurring June 23. Much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially the transportation systems. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million black slaves were freed. The war is one of the most studied and written about episodes in U.S. history.
Very clear Civil War Confederate Field Piece that has been knocked out of commission. Reverse of the Carte de visite has a photographer's name McPherson & Oliver Baton Ro...moreuge La. The image it's self is crystal clear of the damage as a result in a direct hit on the piece. Excellent. The American Civil War (also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States from 1861 to 1865, fought between the northern United States (loyal to the Union) and the southern United States (that had seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy).[e] The civil war began primarily as a result of the long-standing controversy over the enslavement of black people. War broke out in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina shortly after Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated as the President of the United States. The loyalists of the Union in the North, which also included some geographically western and southern states, proclaimed support for the Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, who advocated for states' rights to uphold slavery. Of the 34 U.S. states in February 1861, seven Southern slave-holding states were declared by their state governments to have seceded from the country, and the Confederate States of America was organized in rebellion against the U.S. constitutional government. The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional states of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from native secessionists fleeing Union authority. These states were given full representation in the Confederate Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining "slave states", Delaware and Maryland, were invited to join the Confederacy, but nothing substantial developed due to intervention by federal troops. The Confederate states were never diplomatically recognized as a joint entity by the government of the United States, nor by that of any foreign country.

CIVIL WAR 123RD OHIO IDENTIFIED DOUMENT GROUPING

Paper archive of Captain Josephus F. Schuyler of CO. "I" 123rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The grouping consist of 1) Second Lieutenant Commission dated August 2nd 1862 and is signed by Secretary Of The State Of Ohio Wilson S. Kennon for Governor David Tod. 2) First Lieutenant Commission dated February 12th 1863 and is signed by Secretary Of The State Of Ohio William W. Armstrong for Governor David Tod. 3) Captain Commission dated April 20th 1865 and is signed by Secretary Of The State Of Ohio William Henry Smith for Governor John Brouch. 4) The Ohio Discharge Document for Capt. Josephus F. Schuyler Dated August 22nd 1865. One Hundred and Twenty-third Infantry. - William T. Wilson; Lieut.-Cols., Henry B. Hunter, Horace Kellogg; Maj., A. Baldwin Norton. This regiment was organized at Monroeville from Aug. to Oct., 1862 to serve for three years. It was assigned to western Virginia and spent the winter in that section, nothing of interest occurring in the way of actual conflict until the spring of 1863. It then participated in the engagement with Gen. Early at Winchester, in which it lost in killed and wounded nearly 100 men, and the following day the entire regiment, with the exception of Co. D, became prisoners of war as a result of the surrender of the whole brigade. The following September the men were exchanged, but it did nothing but provost and picket duty until the spring of 1864. In May it participated in the sharp fight at New Market, with a loss of 79, and in the affair at Piedmont in June. The regiment lost a number of men, killed, wounded and missing, in the fight at Lynchburg, and then shared in the disastrous retreat to the Kanawha valley. It started on this expedition of Gen. Hunter's with 700 men, and returned to the leaving point with 250. In July, Early's Confederate corps was met at Snicker's gap and in the brisk fight which ensued the regiment lost a number of men. It was also engaged in another affair with Early at Winchester. At Berryville in September the regiment had a sharp fight with the enemy and lost 25 men, killed wounded and captured, and at the Opequan it formed part of the grand flanking column which changed the fortunes of the day. The loss of the regiment in this battle was 5 officers and about 50 men. The infantry extended the pursuit of the enemy to Fisher's hill, at which place the devoted Confederates were charged and scattered like chaff. In this action the regiment lost 6 men. It was again engaged at Cedar creek and soon thereafter joined Gen. Butler near Bermuda Hundred and remained there during the winter. In the long skirmish which ended in the fall of Petersburg the regiment captured 2 battle flags and a number of prisoners, but its loss was quite severe. Then began the pursuit of Lee's army, the regiment being included in a force sent out on an expedition to burn High bridge near Farmville, but just as the regiment was opening a fight with a brigade of home-guards the Confederate cavalry in advance of Lee's army came in the rear, and after a desperate fight with heavy loss on both sides the Federal forces, including the regiment, were captured. The members of the regiment remained prisoners of war until Appomattox Court House was reached, at which place the Confederate army surrendered, and the prisoners were of course released. The regiment left immediately for home, and was mustered out on June 12, 1865.

IMPERIAL GERMAN NOTGELD CURRENCY 320 COUNT LOT

Lot # 14 (Sale Order: 16 of 931)      

320 Imperial German Notgeld currency. Notgeld (German for "emergency money" or "necessity money") refers to money issued by an institution in a time of economic or political crisis. The issuing institution is usually one without official sanction from the central government. This occurs usually when sufficient state-produced money is not available from the central bank. Most notably, notgeld generally refers to money produced in Germany and Austria during World War I and the Interbellum. Issuing institutions could be a town's savings banks, municipality and private or state-owned firms. Nearly all issues contained an expiry date, after which time they were invalid. Issues without dates ordinarily had an expiry announced in a newspaper or at the place of issuance. Notgeld was mainly issued in the form of (paper) banknotes. Sometimes other forms were used, as well: coins, leather, silk, linen, wood, postage stamps, aluminium foil, coal, and porcelain; there are also reports of elemental sulfur being used, as well as all sorts of re-used paper and carton material (e.g. playing cards). These pieces made from playing cards are extremely rare and are known as Spielkarten, the German word for "playing card". Notgeld was a mutually-accepted means of payment in a particular region or locality, but notes could travel widely. Some cases of Notgeld could better be defined as scrip, which were essentially coupons redeemable only at specific businesses. However, the immense volume of issues produced by innumerable municipalities, firms, businesses, and individuals across Germany blurred the definition. Collectors tend to categorize by region or era rather than issuing authority (see below). Notgeld is different from occupation money that is issued by an occupying army during a war. All notes are in excellent condition

WW1 CHIEF OF CHAPLAINS SELF PORTRAIT JULIAN YATES

Lot # 18 (Sale Order: 20 of 931)

The portrait measures 23 X 27 inches and is an Oil on canvas that is signed Julian E. Yates. The officer clearly is wearing Crosses of the Christian Chaplain Corps.

A military Chaplain who saw action in France duty during WWI, he eventually became Chief of Chaplains for the US Army. He retired in 1935. During most of the following 18 years, Col. Yates and his wife divided their time between Washington, DC and 27 India Street, Nantucket, where Colonel Yates spent much of his time painting. Apparently self-taught, he produced a body of art significant to Nantucket’s the post-war summer colony genre. Soon enough, Yates became active in the newly founded Artists’ Association of Nantucket, exhibiting at the Kenneth Taylor Galleries and during AAN’s annual sidewalk sales to favorable review by the press. Col. Yates served as the organization’s first secretary and treasurer.

The portrait measures 23 X 27 inches and is an Oil on canvas that is signed Julian E. Yates. The officer clearly is wearing Crosses of the Christian Chaplain Corps. Minor crazing but still a beautiful portrait by a master painter. Born in Williams Mills, NC, Colonel Julian E. Yates received a Divinity degree from the University of Chicago. A military Chaplain who saw action in France duty during WWI, he eventually became Chief of Chaplains for the US Army. He retired in 1935. During most of the following 18 years, Col. Yates and his wife divided their time between Washington, DC and 27 India Street, Nantucket, where Colonel Yates spent much of his time painting. Apparently self-taught, he produced a body of art significant to Nantucket’s the post-war summer colony genre. Soon enough, Yates became active in the newly founded Artists’ Association of Nantucket, exhibiting at the Kenneth Taylor Galleries and during AAN’s annual sidewalk sales to favorable review by the press. Col. Yates served as the organization’s first secretary and treasurer.
