Description
Lot of Nine Civil War Era Documents. Includes: Arad Wilbur ALS. Eight pages, 4.75" x 8", Warrenton [Virginia], July 28, 1863. Wilbur mentions that Lee has forces around Front Royal and Culpepper, "... we had a severe march from the Rappahannock to Penna. chasing those rascals and our boys gave them more than they bargained for at Gettysburgh. I tell you that we slayed them terribly there." He was in the vicinity of that battle, guarding supplies, and laments the fact that an opportunity was squandered to capture the rebel forces as they were retreating near Williamsport. "But we delayed the attack and consequently those notorious Rebs made their escape. They abandoned their positions in the night time and made their way safely across the Potomac..." He refers to war casualties, significant victories that occurred in July, "I think in future we had better celebrate the whole of the month of July instead of the 4th," and his support of the Conscription Act. [and:] Arad Wilbur ALS. Four pages, 6.25" x 8", Brandy Station [Virginia], December 10, 1863. "... Frankly, our Army is now building Winter Quarters about this vicinity. I have just got mine finished and it is a splendid Shanty... Our Corps was reviewed this afternoon by Maj Genl Meade and a number of Russian Officers who belong to that Russian Fleet... My enlistment is drawing to a close fast but the Lord only knows what may take place before it is ended..." [and:] Ferrier Nazer ALS. One page, 7.75" x 9.75", "Hd Qts N. Y.
