127th Regiment United States Colored Troops (USCT) Regimental Battle Flag

Lot #2161 (Sale Order 161 of 463)

Simply stated this U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) regimental battle flag is a vital and unique part of American history. Likely the last remaining Pennsylvania USCT battle flag, painted by the pioneering and influential artist David Bustill Bowser, it has significance and impact unlike any other. With meticulous attention to detail in restoration, the vibrant banner represents the epic struggle, valor, and patriotism of the African-American troops during the Civil War. The Regiment The 127th USCT Regiment was one of 11 African-American regiments raised in Pennsylvania through the Union League by the Supervisory Committee for the Enlistment of Colored Troops. This regiment was formed from enlisted and drafted African-American males from the State of Pennsylvania, to serve one, two, and three years. Recruited in the Delaware Valley Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and surrounding region, the regiment organized and trained at Camp William Penn in Chelten Hills or Camptown (now La Mott), Pennsylvania; today Cheltenham Township, just northwest of Philadelphia between August 23 and September 10, 1864. The Commanding Officer was Colonel Benjamin F. Tracy. This was Pennsylvania’s only training camp for African American soldiers, and was the largest of 18 such camps in operation during the Civil War. After the short training period the regiment was deployed. Upon arriving at the front In City Point, Virginia in September, 1864, the regiment was attached to 1st Brigade, 3rd Division, 10th Corps, Army of the James, in November, 1864. The regiment transferred to the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, 10th Corps, in December, 1864. Finally, it was sent to the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, 25th Corps and the Department of Texas, in October, 1865. The regiment was primarily used to construct fortifications and perform guard duty. The official Army register of Colored Troops shows that the only battle in which this regiment participated, was at Deep Bottom, Virginia on April 2nd, 1865; and saw one man killed in this battle. More apparently died due to disease. In addition, combat service records indicate that the regiment was involved in siege operations against Petersburg, VA and Richmond, VA from September 1864 to April, 1865. The regiment saw action in the Battle of Chaffin’s Farm, New Market Heights September 29-30, 1864; Fort Harrison September 29, 1864; Darbytown Road October 13, 1864; Battle of Fair Oaks October 27-28, 1864; and duty in trenches north of the James River before Richmond until March, 1865. The regiment moved to Hatcher's Run March 27-28, 1865; the Appomattox Campaign March 28-April 9, 1865; Hatcher's Run March 29-31, 1865; Fall of Petersburg April 2, 1865, and the Pursuit of Lee April 3-9, 1865. The regiment was present at the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. After the close of hostilities in the east, the regiment was sent to Brazos Santiago, Texas, June and July, 1865; and performed duties at various Mexican frontier points on the Rio Grande River until October, 1865. On September 11, 1865, the regiment was consolidated into a battalion of three companies, and the men and officers whose term of service had expired, were discharged. The battalion was mustered out of service on October 20, 1865. The Flag Artist The flag was painted by Famed Philadelphia African-American artist David Bustill Bowser, born in Philadelphia January 16, 1820 to fugitive slave Jeremiah Bowser. Jeremiah had married into the prominent Bustill family, whose patriarch was himself born a slave but purchased his own freedom. Quoting from the David Bustill Bowser Historical Marker site of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, During the Civil War, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and thousands more civilians who witnessed their parades, were familiar with the magnificent battle flags that David Bustill Bowser designed for eleven African-American regiments. When opposition to the choice of Bowser as the artist to paint the flags developed within the Supervisory Committee of the camp, Bowser persuaded John Forney, a powerful Republican Philadelphia politician and newspaper owner, to argue that "he is a poor man, and certainly professes very remarkable talent. He has been active in the cause and is himself a colored man, and it seems to me there would be peculiar hardship in taking away this little job from him and giving it to a wealthy house."

Lot #2248 (Sale Order 247 of 463)

This is a rare Model 1912 picket pin combination shovel, hammer, and claw. As part of the Cavalry Equipment Board review in 1911, these handy devices were produced and served as a multi functional tool that a soldier could use as a hammer or claw, and then modify into a hatchet, pick, or shovel by attaching the appropriate device. The hatchet attached to the head and was held on by the hammer head, while the shovel attached the base of the pin and attached via chain and pin. The whole ensemble could then be attached to a cavalryman's saddle and take up comparatively little room in relationship to the utility offered. CONDITION: Picket pin with a deep even age patination throughout, unmarked. Picket pin sheath good, with some usage marks and crazing. Straps are tender but complete, with the exception of the top strap, which is broken at base. Stitching tight. Shovel head with patination en suite blade stamped "1.1.36".

CUSTER'S CIVIL WAR FIELD GLASSES CAPTURED AT BATTLE OF TREVILIAN STATION BY CONFEDERATE FORCES.

Lot #2279 (Sale Order 278 of 463)

Brass field glasses purported to have been carried by G.A. Custer during his campaigns in the Civil War. They were captured by General Wade Hampton's brigade at the Battle of Trevilian Station (newspaper articles, confused, called it Brandywine). It is a well documented fact that Custer lost all his possessions except that which were on his immediate person. When Custer had time to count his losses after the engagement, his personal baggage was among them. The Confederates had captured a treasure that included everything from Custer's African-American cook, Eliza Brown, to love letters that Libbie Custer, his wife of four months, had sent him in the field. The general wrote to Libbie a few days later to report on the battle: "'Would you like to know what they have captured from me?' he asked. 'Everything except my toothbrush.'" Custer's other items from this baggage have surfaced over the years on the collector market, but not his field glasses. After the war, Gen. Hampton returned them to Mrs. Custer. Given to Mr. Melvin J. Nichols of New Jersey by Mrs. Custer along with one of Custer's iconic red cravat ties in the 1920's. After Mr. Nichols death in 1976, the glasses were purchased by R.N. Wathen Jr., a dealer in Custeriana and historic Americana from the Nichols estate. CONDITION: Very good. PROVENANCE: Included in this lot is the original newspaper clipping detailing the facts of the capture and return of the glasses to Mrs. Custer and a letter from the executrix of Mr. Nichols estate stating that Mrs. Custer gave them to Mr. Nichols. Also included is the original letter from R.N. Wathen dated March 10, 1979 attesting to the aforementioned story and a letter from Wathen to Dr. Frank Wagner further attesting to selling them to noted Custer author and historian John Carroll, as well as a 1975 catalog of the Melvin Nichols collection where Nichol's relationship with Libby Custer is detailed. They were subsequently purchased from Carroll by Dr. Frank Wagner for his cavalry museum collection. Paperwork: Book, letters Condition: (Very Good). Dimensions:

Historically Significant WWII Norden Bombsight.

Lot #2280 (Sale Order 279 of 463)

There has been more movies depicting the importance of this bomb sight that just about any other single subject. The men operating these sights swore a death oath to destroy them if downed in enemy territory. They were used through-out the war in both the European Theater as well as in the Pacific and were the sights used to drop the worlds first Atom Bomb. One of Germany's top priority was acquiring this sight and one of the largest German spy rings involved a spy who worked at the factory. It was the canonical tachometric design, a system that allowed it to directly measure the aircraft's ground speed and direction, which older bombsights could only estimate with lengthy in-flight procedures. The Norden further improved on older designs by using an analog computer that constantly calculated the bomb's impact point based on current flight conditions, and an autopilot that let it react quickly and accurately to changes in the wind or other effects. This sight comes with a custom wood stand for display and does not include the auto-pilot attachment but otherwise complete. Very few of these ever left the factory unless installed in a plane and were such a highly guarded secret that it was only after a better model was introduced well after the war that a civilian could own such an item. A very rare and historical icon. Condition: Dimensions: 16" x 14" x 8 - 1/2".

CUSTER’S PERSONAL 1867-1868 INDIAN WARS FIELD MAP AND SIGNED CUSTER CDV.

Lot #2347 (Sale Order 346 of 463)

This historically important map was the one that Lt. Col. G.A. Custer used in July of 1867 on his march from Fort Hayes, Kansas on the summer Indian campaign which ended at Fort Wallace, Kansas. Our research has shown that it is one of the only Custer used maps from the Civil War or Indian Wars period extant. This map was purchased from his grand niece, Miss Margaret Custer, who lived across the road from the Custer farmhouse with her sister Miriam and her father James Calhoun Custer. She had taken it from the Custer farmhouse attic years earlier. Map is a linen tracing on cloth of General Custer’s line of march during his Indian hunting campaign in July of 1867. Rendered in a horizontal format 19.5” x 23”, with a scale of 4.5” = 50 miles. Drawn in black India ink overall, but showing Custer’s and Major Elliot’s lines of march in red ink. Custer’s campsites are annotated in black ink and each is dated. Elliot’s campsites are in red ink, and each is dated. The line of Custer’s march originated at Fort Hayes, headed north, then returned to Fort Wallace. They traveled as far north as the South Fork of the North Platte River, then south to the Smoky Hill River. Custer had taken 1100 of his troopers on a campaign to quell Indian uprisings that had threatened white settlers for three years. During this time a Lt. Lyman S. Kidder was carrying dispatches to Custer from Gen. William T. Sherman at Fort Sedgewick, Colorado, 90 miles Northwest of Custer’s camp in June 1867. Kidder and his 10 man patrol were subsequently wiped out and killed to a man by a large war party that was known to be roaming the area. Detailed to recover the bodies was Lt. Fred Beecher, Civil War veteran and nephew of famous abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of ‘UNCLE TOM’S CABIN.” He had been assigned to Fort Wallace to erect many of the buildings used for protection against the constant Sioux and Cheyenne Raids. In August of 1868, five months after his involvement with the Kidder affair, Beecher was second in command of the Forsyth scouts under Col. George Forsyth. This unit was ambushed by 1000 Cheyenne warriors on the Arickaree Fork of the Republican River in northeastern Colorado on Sept 17, 1868 and lLt. Beecher lost his life on what is now known as the Battle of Beecher’s Island. This map is from a very important period in the volatile history of the Indian Wars and is extremely detailed. It is a treasure trove of knowledge and a look into the Indian suppression campaigns of Custer and how he campaigned. Map is archivally framed and matted and also includes original albumen sepia toned CDV’s of Custer in his 7th Cavalry dress uniform along with wife Elizabeth. The Custer CDV is from the Mora studio and is signed in Custer’s hand to the reverse; “G. Custer Lieut Col 7th Cavalry U.S.A.” Also included are two original issues of Harper’s Weekly that detail incidents from the campaign. Map is signed by the cartographer, “Henry Jackson, 7th U.S. Cavalry.” Jackson was the Captain of C Troop, 7th Cavalry. He commanded this troop at Wounded Knee and White Clay. He had been with the regiment since 1866, but was on detached service in June 1876 during the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Jackson retired from the Army as a Colonel in 1901. He was promoted to Brigadier General from the retired list in 1904, and died in 1908. CONDITION: Excellent overall.

D.F. BARRY CABINET PHOTO OF CAPTAIN THOMAS MCDOUGALL, COMMANDER OF CUSTER'S PACK TRAIN AT THE LITTL

Lot #2358 (Sale Order 357 of 463)

Silver gelatin cabinet card of Capt. Thomas M. McDougall, 7th U.S. Cavalry, wearing full dress uniform with sword. Silver inked studio ID to bottom margin: 'BARRY, WEST SUPERIOR, WIS.' Thomas Mower McDougall (1845-1909) served 40 years as an officer in the U.S. Army, beginning with a volunteer enlistment in the Civil War and retiring as a major in 1904. His father, Charles McDougall (1804-1885) was a U.S. Army surgeon with service in the Blackhawk War, Seminole War, and Civil War, which likely helped his son gain a commission as a second lieutenant upon enlistment in the Union Army in 1864. Thomas was assigned to Co. B, 48th U.S. Colored Infantry, and served across the Department of the Gulf, most notably participating in the capture of Fort Blakely on April 9, 1865. He was promoted to captain in the 5th U.S. Volunteer Infantry in the immediate aftermath of the war, and upon the expiration of that regiment was offered a second lieutenant's commission in the regular army. Originally assigned to the 14th U.S. Infantry at Fort Laramie, McDougall was transferred to the 32nd Infantry, 21st Infantry, and ultimately the 7th Cavalry in 1870, and after helping suppress Klan activity in South Carolina, began an 18 year stint in the Dakotas, engaged in many of the notable Indian campaigns. He was in command of Co. B at Little Bighorn, leading the pack train escort, and was engaged in the hilltop fight alongside Major Reno's battalion. This photo was taken by famed western photographer D.F. Barry, known by the native tribes as "The Little Shadow Catcher." He was widely known as one of the pre-eminent photographers of his time and has also been referred to as "The Matthew Brady of the West." He captured images of many famous western personalities, Indians, and landscapes that were soon to vanish from the American Frontier.

DESIRABLE CONFEDERATE DISCHARGE PAPERS SIGNED BY ASSISTANT ADJUTANT GENERAL WITHER AND WILLIAM LORIN

Lot #2360 (Sale Order 359 of 463)

This is a desirable set of Confederate discharge papers signed by the Assistant Adjutant General Withers and countersigned by the famed Confederate soldier William Loring, accepting the resignation of First Lieutenant Geo W. Seaman from his position. While little information exists on Mr. Seaman, the 5th Kentucky and William Loring are well known amongst Civil War aficionados. They mustered in 1861 under General Marshall in the Army of Eastern Kentucky, where they fought at Ivy Mountain, Middle Creek, and Princeton before William Preston assumed command of the unit. It appears that just after the Battle of Princeton Court House was when Seaman resigned, as his discharge papers are dated May 27th, 1862, while the battle took place between May 15 and May 17th, 1862. Making this article even more enticing its its association with William "Old Blizzards" Loring, who fought for the United States and commanded areas such as the Oregon Territory, where he fought against Indians. During the Civil War, Loring sided with the South, resigning from the United States Army and being assigned a Brigadier General with the Confederacy and given command of the Army of the Northwest. Loring was wounded at the Battle of Peachtree Creek and surrendered after the Battle of Bentonville. Not yet done soldering, Loring was recommended by Sherman to serve in the army of Isma'il Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt, where he stayed for nine years, modernizing the army and being placed in charge of the coastal defenses. Loring attained the rank of Major General in Egypt before being dismissed in 1878, after which he returned to the United States, where he died after an unsuccessful bid for the United States Senate. The association with Loring and the Kentucky Fifth Volunteers makes this a particularly interesting piece, despite Seaman's departure in 1862. CONDITION: Fine for a document of this age. Paper has the expected fold creases that would have come when Seaman folded up his paperwork and stuck it in his pocket. There is a small pinkie nail sized loss at the top crease, left side of the page. Paper has a strong mark at the top left and is appropriately signed on the reverse. Paperwork: Information on Loring Condition: Dimensions:

CALLING CARD OF BRIGADIER GENERAL NELSON MILES.

Lot #2366 (Sale Order 365 of 463)

Very scarce Indian Wars period calling card of famous Civil War and Indian Wars officer Nelson Miles. These calling cards had a low survival rate as they were often discarded after they were read once at a social event, etc. Miles has a long and distinguished Civil War resume, this card dates to a specific period in his career. In December 1880, Miles was promoted to brigadier general in the Regular Army. He was then assigned to command the Department of the Columbia (1881–85) and the Department of Missouri (1885–86). In 1886, Miles replaced General George Crook as commander of forces fighting against Geronimo, a Chiricahua Apache leader, in the Department of Arizona. Crook had relied heavily on Apache scouts in his efforts to capture Geronimo. Instead, Miles relied on white troops, who eventually traveled 3,000 miles without success as they tracked Geronimo through the tortuous Sierra Madre Mountains. Finally, First Lieutenant Charles B. Gatewood, who had studied Apache ways, succeeded in negotiating a surrender, under the terms of which Geronimo and his followers agreed to spend two years on a Florida reservation. Geronimo agreed on these terms, being unaware of the real plot behind the negotiations (that there was no intent to let them go back to their native lands). The exile included even the Chiricahuas who had worked for the army, in violation of Miles' agreement with them. Miles denied Gatewood any credit for the negotiations and had him transferred to the Dakota Territory. Miles would later defend the Sioux for years after 1890 Wounded Knee massacre. In 1888, Miles became the commander of the Military Division of the Pacific and the Department of California. He was promoted to Major General in 1890, so we can positively date this card to the 1880-1890 timeframe. CONDITION: Excellent overall. PROVENANCE: Dr. Frank Wagner cavalry museum collection. Condition: (Excellent). Dimensions: (3" W x 1.75" H).

Fantastic One of a Kind Union Patriotic Vingettes Cover Scrapbook Dated 1861.

Lot #2385 (Sale Order 384 of 463)

This hardcover scrapbook has a reattached binder. Cover is stamped "UNION SOUVENIRS 1861". The album contains approximately 430 original and different Civil War patriotic envelope covers and a complete set of the extremely scarce Champion prize envelope "Lincoln and Davis in five rounds" published by J.H. Tingley of New York, 1861. Note states book came from Akron, Ohio area, the estate of Mrs. Winslow who was 83 years of age in 1988. These vignettes were hand cut from a multitude of Civil War patriotic envelopes that were used by loved ones to send personal letters to far-away soldiers. Each was meticulously cut and glued to the pages of this album at the time. The very first page has six Union State Lady Liberty seals. You will find vignettes honoring nearly all of Northern Union states, many with Union slogans such as "DEATH TO ALL TRAITORS", "THE UNION AT ALL HAZARDS", "DISUNION BY ARMED FORCE IS TREASON", "MARYLAND ON THE FENCE", "SURPRISE UPON THE REBEL SAVAGES", "SECESSION: THE CAIN OF BALTIMORE", "UNION NOW AND FOREVER", "TRUE TO THE UNION". There are also numerous Thomas Mast style cartoons, most of which lambaste Jeff Davis and the Southern Secessionists. Others glorifying Honest Abe and various Union Generals such as Colonel Ellsworth, the first great martyr assassinated in Virginia May 24, 1861. Other generals highly touted include Winfield Scott, General Butler, the Lincoln Cabinet, General McClellan. Memorials to Fort Sumpter, and many more making fun of Jeff Davis, secessionists portrayed as the Devil and hydra, deadhead bounty. Most are in red, blue, and white but several are in full color. One particularly graphic one shows dozens of men hanging from the noose titled "Capital Punishment" with the names of Davis, Beauregard and other famous Confederate generals. But the most important aspect of this one of a kind scrapbook is the Champion in Five Round fight covers that show Lincoln and Davis in a boxing match, showing old Abe as the kindly protector of the right and Davis whining sympathy; includes rounds one through five, where Lincoln is awarded the Champion belt. One of a kind and very historic. One can envision the person at home delicately cutting out and affixing each and every image during the first full year of the war. Condition: Dimensions:

1876 FIRST EDITION OF "A LIFE OF MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE A. CUSTER" BY WHITTAKER.

Lot #2415 (Sale Order 414 of 463)

(CUSTER, George A) WHITTAKER, Frederick. A Complete Life of Gen. George A. Custer. New York: Sheldon, (1876). Thick octavo, original publisher’s gilt-embossed russet cloth. 648 pages. First edition of the first authoritative biography of Custer, “based on papers made available by Elizabeth Bacon Custer” and published within months of his death at the Battle of Little Big Horn, with steel-engraved frontispiece, 12 plates and four full-page maps. Born in London, Frederick Whittaker migrated to America in 1850 and fought for the Union in the Civil War. Though he did not serve with General Custer, the two met briefly in 1875. News of Custer’s death at the Battle of Little Big Horn soon after their meeting prompted a devastated Whittaker to contact Custer’s widow with a proposed biography. “The mystery and tragedy of Little Bighorn immediately captured the nation’s imagination… In the debate over who was to blame for the disaster… the groundwork was then laid for a historical debate unsettled to this day” (Hutton, Custer Reader, 398). Extensively “based on papers made available by Elizabeth Bacon Custer” (Lamar, 281), Whittaker produced this massive volume “with remarkable speed, publishing it in December 1876. The hero who emerged from the pages of his Complete Life of Gen. George A. Custer was a figure of epic proportions.” Here Whittaker sought to counter any criticism of Custer and elevate “a rash, ever-so-human young soldier into the pantheon of America’s greatest heroes” (Hutton, 389-99). While sometimes problematic in reportage, this volume stands as first authoritative account of Custer’s life and career, and its influence remains substantial. Steel-engraved front piece depicts a dashing Custer in gold gilt astride his horse with sword upraised above his head. 12 engraved plates and four full-page maps are present. As issued without dust jacket. Issued in green cloth, russet, and shiny black (this copy). Soliday IV:193. CONDITION: Text and plates fresh, inner paper hinges starting but sound, most wear is from shelf contact is primarily along edges and contact points. Overall a very solid copy. Condition: (Very Good). Dimensions: (9.5 L x 6.5 W x 2.75" H).

GENERAL SHERIDAN'S PERSONAL COPY OF "LIFE ON THE PLAINS" BOOK BY GENERAL CUSTER.

Lot #2416 (Sale Order 415 of 463)

Exceedingly rare copy from the personal library of General Phil Sheridan, famed cavalry leader and close friend of G.A. Custer. This example has a wonderful chain of custody and has not never been offered on the collector market before. It was purchased from the U.S. Cavalry Association in March of 1950 by the consignor and has been in his research library ever since. It is signed to the inside "P.H. Sheridan - Lieut General" in period iron ink script. Titled: 'George Armstrong Custer My Life on the Plains - Or, Personal Experiences With Indians.' (New York: Sheldon & Co., 1874), first edition, 256 pages with 8 plates, original brown cloth with tooled gold gilt writing and bison to cover and spine. This memoir is a must-have work for historians of the Custer era that require an understanding of events through the eyes of Custer himself. He recounts his early campaigns against the Cheyenne and finishes with his dealings with the Sioux. CONDITION: Binding is tight, with some shelf wear mostly confined to the edges, corners, and either end of the spine. This early volume is hard to find in it's own right let alone the significance of belonging to one of the most famous US cavalry commanders of all time. Includes a copy of the letter from the director of the U.S. Cavalry Journal book department to the consignor. PROVENANCE: Dr. Frank Wagner cavalry museum collection. Paperwork: Letter from the U.S. Armored Cavalry Association Condition: (Very Good). Dimensions: (6" x 9.25"). CORRECTION: Photo added

GENERAL GODFREY'S PERSONAL COPY OF "GENERAL GEORGE A. CUSTER AND THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIG HORN."

Lot #2417 (Sale Order 416 of 463)

Published by the Century Co., New York, this is the first edition of one of the most accurate articles written about Custer's last stand by a witness to the battle. This example is special in that it was the personal copy of the General Godrfrey himself, and he made numerous handwritten notations in the margin that would be a wealth of knowledge to the Custer researcher. The Godfrey article has been frequently reprinted, but not always in it's entirety. This is the scarce original version as published in 'The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine', November 1891 to April 1892. Book includes a heartfelt introduction by Custer's widow where she describes it as the most accurate rendition of the battle up until that point in time. According to bibliographer Michael O'Keefe, "This is Godfrey's documentation of the Battle of Little Big Horn, originally prepared as a speech before West Point in 1879, then supplemented by Godfrey's hearing Indian versions of the fight in 1886." O'Keefe calls it, "one of the best accounts because it was written by an educated participant who corresponded frequently with other battle participants." This was published 15-1/2 years after the battle, by which time Godfrey himself had lost much respect for Major Reno's behaviors at Little Big Horn. CONDITION: This copy is in very good condition as it was stored in a custom made leather folder commissioned by the late noted Custer historian and author John Carroll. Condition: (Very Good). Dimensions: (10" H x 7" W).

CUSTER ERA 1872 U.S. "CAVALRY TACTICS" MANUAL BY COOKE.

Lot #2418 (Sale Order 417 of 463)

Published in New York in 1872 this is the same manual used throughout the Civil War written by Philip St. Geo. Cooke. This is a historic manual that would be a proper display piece with Custer and Little Big Horn artifacts. CONDITION: Some chipping to bottom and top of spine. PROVENANCE: Dr. Frank Wagner cavalry museum collection. Condition: (Good). Dimensions: (7.5" H x 5" W).
