OUTSTANDING 1864 WILDERS BRIGADE CIVIL WAR LETTER MUCH DETAIL! Lot #80 (Sale Order 83 of 128) LETTER LOOKS TO READ: Headquarters of Wilders Brigade 4 miles from Kingston on the Cassville road Saturday May21th/64 Dear cousin Lulie Here I am at last safe and sound, well and in a good humor, having reached this place with ease and found everything as pleasant and satisfactory here as it could possibly be. I sit in a delight- ful place, in a grove on a hill just inside an extensive breastworks thrown up by our men a few days ago, and overlooking a fine stream of water and an extensive tract of country, with a book for a desk, and with my hat and crat off, I have just been writing home and now your turn comes next. I believe I reported my progress to you as far as Chattanooga. I left there at 8 o clock yesterday morn- PAGE 2 ning, arrived at Resacca at Three In the afternoon, made some inqueries at headquarters there and they told me that Wilder was in advance on the extreme right wing near Kingston so I came on there, passing over a bridge 200 yards long that our men put up in three days, and spent the night in a empty store room sleeping on the counter in company with several other officers seeking their regiments. (The towns between Chat’ga and here are entirely deserted, the rebel citizens have gone and taken everything with them and the houses stand open.) Early in the morning I started for General McPhersons headq’s 1½ miles Noth West of R, Learned there that genrl Wilders men were here (in fact all of this division) started back to R, to catch one of their wagon trains there, met one soon after I started and so reached here, I have been PAGE 3 very fortunate in finding places, getting passes in- formation into, and think I have great reason to be thankful for it. To be sure I have had some trouble and vexation, pass officers were hard to get even from headquarters, and rations very scarce this side of C, but it was a good school for one to learn self-reliance in and I am glad I came alone.

REST OF CIVIL WAR LETTER LISTED ON LOT 80......DO NOT BID!!!!!! Lot #80a (Sale Order 84 of 128) but it was a
good school for one to learn self-reliance
in and I am glad I came alone.
The Col, seems very glad to see me
and is very kind. He is out this afternoon
on a scout with one of his regiments but
there will not be any general movement
until Monday when we will start on
a twenty days tour down further
in dixie, so as we will probably be out
of the range of post office facilities you
may not hear from me for some time
but I hope you will keep letters coming
this way so that when the way is open
I may get some. I have some
other music here beside that of the bugle
PAGE 4
a piano was going just now in at
headquarters to the tune of “The last
Rose of Summer”. General Thomas is
here today (I don’t think it was him
performing on the piano) he looks something
like Uncle Joseph Montfort.
Please give my compliments to my
friends there at Indipolis.
I hope, my sister, that you will
not forget that it is through the mercy
of a gracious heavenly father that I
am still enjoying health and comforts
and continue to seek for me his gracious
protection and blessing. We have a
chaplain here said to be a very earnest
christian I hope to make his acquaintance
tomorrow. Please give my love
to all the home folks, excuse all mis-
takes and believe me as ever
Very Sincerely Yours
Riggs
My address is
Wilders Brigade

AUTHENTIC AUTOGRAPH CIVIL WAR Lorenzo Thomas (October 26, 1804 – March 2, 1875) Lot #115 (Sale Order 119 of 128) CUT AUTOGRAPH OF Lorenzo Thomas (October 26, 1804 – March 2, 1875) was a career United States Army officer who was Adjutant General of the Army at the beginning of the American Civil War. After the war, he was appointed temporary Secretary of War by President Andrew Johnson, precipitating Johnson's impeachment.Thomas was born in New Castle, Delaware. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1823, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 4th U.S. Infantry. He fought in the Seminole War in Florida and, during the Mexican-American War, he was the chief of staff to General William O. Butler. He received a brevet promotion to lieutenant colonel for Monterrey. From 1853 to 1861, he served as chief of staff to the commanding general of the U.S. Army, Winfield Scott.Just before the start of the Civil War, Thomas was promoted to colonel and adjutant general of the U.S. Army on March 7, 1861. He was promoted to brigadier general on May 7. Camp Thomas, a Regular Army training base in Columbus, Ohio, was named in his honor in July 1861. He held the position of adjutant general until he retired in 1869, except for a special assignment to recruit African-American troops in the Military Division of the Mississippi from 1863 to 1865.Thomas did not get along well with Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton and this assignment outside of Washington, D.C., was considered a form of banishment. Many historians have claimed Thomas was banished in disgrace after conspiring to defame Union General William T. Sherman as insane.[1] Thomas was replaced by Maj. Gen. Edward D. Townsend as Adjutant General, who would serve until 1880.[2]From March 17 to July 23, 1862, he served as the chairman of the War Board, the organization that assisted President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary Stanton in the management of the War Department and the command of the Union armies during the period in which there was no general-in-chief. Just before the end of the war, he was given a brevet promo
