1900 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Negro Slavery 1ST EDITION Civil War Antique vtg Book RARE
1900 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN === ARRANGED FOR YOUNG READERS === This auction is for an original 1900 1ST EDITION, THUS of" UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. As published into a special abridged edition just 4 years after Stowe's passing on July 1. 1896. Y OU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK! I t is dominated by a single theme: the evil and immorality of slavery. Stowe emphasizes the horrors of slavery on almost every page of the novel while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as the enslavement of fellow human beings. U nlike the 1852 1st edition. Published by John P. Jewett& Company in two separate volumes, this special First ALTEMUS' YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIBRARY EDITION! contains VOL. 1& 2 combined into one book. I t is beautifully illustrated with over 90 ILLUSTRATIONS! by ... morecelebrated artist of the time. U pon publication. Uncle Tom's Cabin ignited a firestorm of protest from defenders of slavery(who created a number of books in response to the novel) while the book elicited praise from abolitionists. Southern reactions ranged from forcing a bookseller in Mobile. Alabama to leave town for selling the novel to sending threatening letters to Stowe herself(including a package containing a slave's severed ear) The novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the United States, so much so in the latter case that the novel intensified the sectional conflict leading to the American Civil War. The book also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have. To an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a"vital antislavery tool. In the first year of publication, 300,000 copies of Uncle Tom'

1852 SOUTHERN UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Civil War 1ST EDITION Slave Trade NEGRO SLAVERY
LIFE AT THE SOUTH OR"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" AS IT IS BEING NARRATIVES SCENES. AND INCIDENTS IN THE REAL"LIFE OF THE LOWLY. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T his auction is for an original 1852 FIRST EDITION! of" LIFE AT THE SOUTH: OR"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" AS IT IS" by W. L. G. Smith. YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK! I t is the story of a Negro slave who escapes and flees north to the"Promised Land. He freezes. Starves, can't find work and thus ceases to admire the privileges of freedom. A local merchant says to him"can't see why you want to leave your home where its nice and warm, you have a full belly and work to keep you busy. Eventually the slave is happy to return. T his pro-slavery book is a direct rebuttal to"Uncle Tom's Cabin. and is called by the author the real"life ... moreof the lowly. The author presents his view of the relations between"master and slave" and defends the stand of the South towards the matter of slavery. A nti-Tom literature refers to the 19th century pro-slavery novels and other literary works written between 1852 and the Civil War in response to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Also called plantation literature. These writings were generally written by authors from the Southern United States. B ooks in the genre attempted to show that slavery was either beneficial to African-Americans or that the evils of slavery as depicted in Stowe's book were overblown and incorrect. T hey adopt a variety of polemical strategies. From defending the plantation as a good place, to attacking the North for its treatment of"white slaves" the working class) to depicting blacks as either happy in slavery or racially unfit for freedom. None of these novels reached the success of Stowe's book, but some went through a number of printings and were widely read in the North. As a group they're interesting for several reasons- for what they say about race and about sectionalism, and for what they

1897 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Negro Slavery 1ST EDITION Civil War Antique vtg Book RARE
1897 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN === MEMORIAL EDITION === This auction is for an original 1897 1ST EDITION! of" UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. As published into a special memorial edition just after Stowe's passing on July 1. 1896. Y OU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK! I t is dominated by a single theme: the evil and immorality of slavery. Stowe emphasizes the horrors of slavery on almost every page of the novel while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as the enslavement of fellow human beings. U nlike the 1852 1st edition. Published by John P. Jewett& Company in two separate volumes, this special First MEMORIAL EDITION! contains VOL. 1& 2 combined into one book. I t is beautifully illustrated with over 100 ILLUSTRATIONS! by celebrated artist of the time. U pon publication. Uncle ... moreTom's Cabin ignited a firestorm of protest from defenders of slavery(who created a number of books in response to the novel) while the book elicited praise from abolitionists. Southern reactions ranged from forcing a bookseller in Mobile. Alabama to leave town for selling the novel to sending threatening letters to Stowe herself(including a package containing a slave's severed ear) The novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the United States, so much so in the latter case that the novel intensified the sectional conflict leading to the American Civil War. The book also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress.

6 Handwritten Diaries Jennings Farmington ME Civil War Vet. Battle of Gettysburg
I want to start off by saying that on a weekly basis I get questions from bidders asking if I split up family lots of diaries and sell them separately. So I thought I’d post something to ease everyone’s mind before they buy. I am very passionate about diary collecting and history and I can’t even imagine buying a diary lot from one particular family(such as this wonderful lot) and then splitting them up and selling each separately. Its heart wrenching when I see this happening and you have my promise that if I have more then one diary. No matter how many I have, I will always sell family lots together in one auction. But I think it’s a good question you should always ask your sellers just in case you want to try and keep a lot together. And with that said… Up for auction are 6 handwritten diaries and all of them belonged to Civil War Veteran ... moreAsa Jennings of Farmington Maine. They represent the years. 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890 and 1891. Asa was part of Co. G. 17 th Regiment Maine Volunteers. In a book called“A History of Farmington Franklin County Maine. From the Earliest Explorations to the Present Time” I found the following information… Asa Jennings was a native of New Portland and a farmer by occupation. After a residence of several years in Wilton. He removed to Farmington. Which has since been his home. Like his father and grandfather was a patriot and soldier, entering the United States Service in 1862(August 18 th to be exact) as a private. Co. G 17th Regiment, Maine Vol. Having a special faculty for hospital work. He was transferred to that branch of service. At Gettysburg he was attached to the First Division, Third Corps Hospital, having a surgeons charge of several hundred disabled soldiers for some days, his duties until the end of the war when he received an honorable discharge after nearly three years of service on March 16 th. 1865. He applied for a pension in 1872. On December 5 th. 1848 Asa married Betsey Billings, daughter of Toppan Eaton of Wilton. She was born June 16 th. 1

This report was brought in by a negro from Danville, and I rather think this report needs confirmation, though I think there ... moreis no doubt that there is quite a force at Danville and that the Rebs have driven our men from that place. Hurrah, there comes Ace with a letter for me. Must stop& read it. signed] O. F. Wait. Direct to Lexington KY. Orin L. Wait. 19 years of age, enlisted on Aug 6 1862 as a private.

Antique Handwritten Diary of Civil War Colonel - Coded Masonic Memory Jogger
I'm going to start out by saying this is a lengthy item to describe and do it justice so please bear with me. I believe this handwritten diary to be a very rare find. It was originally owned by a Civil War Colonel named Colonel John B Yates. It is written in a coded language and I have done a lot of research to determine what exactly this is. With the help of several professors we have determined it is a Masonic Memory Jogger. The Masons used many rituals and were expected to memorize them without having them written down where just anyone could see. By using the book"Illustrations of Masonry" by William Morgan 1827 I have been able to decipher bits and pieces of what this says. There is still a lot to be deciphered which I will leave to the curious mind who owns this gem after me. Colonel Yates served in Company A. Michigan ... moreEngineers and Mechanics. That regiment worked repairing bridges and railroads, building blockhouses and fortifications, having skirmishes with the enemy and taking part in the engagements of Bowling Green, Perryville, Stones River and on the march with Sherman's army, 1861-1865. Colonel Yates was from Albion, Michigan. One of his business cards was tucked in a pocket of the diary and there is a photo of this. Also tucked in a pocket was an invitation to a"Washington Ball" at the Union House, in Delhi Friday evening, Feb. 20, 1863 at 4 o'clock. I have a copy of Col. Yates death notice stating his birth date of Oct. 18, 1833, and his record of service during the Civil War. This was written by William T Sherman himself. A quote reads"Its journal of operation during the campaign in Georgia and the Carolinas would illustrate the absolute limit of man for physical labor. I have sometimes reproached myself for cruelty in imposing or allowing to be imposed, on it such hard and constant labor, and now desire to indorse the paper with an emphasis that will show that I was conscious of the fact.

Gettysburg Miniature Real Photos Culp's Hill Wood Souvenir Book Civil War Sites
REALLY WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF MINIATURE PHOTOS! Vintage Gettysburg Wood Book with miniature real photos. Early 1900s. I count 24. But photo paper is thick so could be more or less. Souvenir book commemorating the famous and deadly battle of July 1.2,3, 1863 at Gettysburg, Pa. There is a round color photo of Union General George Meade. Who was appointed to command the Army of the Potomac whose troops subsequently defeated those of General Robert E. Lee on the wood cover. I was told the wood used to make this wooden souvenir book came from Culp's Hill in the early 1900's. This was purchased a number of years ago at the Nashville. Tenn. Civil War Show. These great little photographs are of many sites in and around the battlefield. Monuments, memorials, and historical buildings and views of battle areas such as Little Round Top, Cemetery ... moreHill, Devil's Den and others. This neat book is all wood. With a wood spine that has all the little black& white photos attached by string. It appears one of the original strings that held this book together was replaced with a piece of white thread. The photos inside are in nice condition for the most part, but some show some age, soil, and a few have partially come loose from their binding. Stamped on the front: Souvenir July 1-2-3 Gettysburg, Pa. The outer wood also has some staining on the top. 2 3/4 by 2 1/4 inches and about 1/2inch thick. Good condition for age.

1967 1st Edition THE CONFESSIONS OF NAT TURNER by William Styron Civil War
You are bidding on the 1967 1st Edition copy of the classic novel THE CONFESSIONS OF NAT TURNER by William Styron. Book is missing the dust jacket other than that it is in perfect condition. The front and rear covers along with the spine look brand new. The gold lettering on the front cover and spine look perfect. All four book corners are sharp. Spine is extremely tight as well as all the pages in the book. There is no writing or tears found anywhere in this book. An exceptional 1st edition copy of a classic novel. Shipping will be $3.50 in the United States. Here is a brief synopsis of the Novel: The novel is based on an extant document. The"confession" of Turner to the white lawyer Thomas Gray. In the historical confessions, Turner claims to have been divinely inspired, charged with a mission from God to lead a slave uprising ... moreand destroy the white race. Styron's ambitious novel attempts to imagine the character of Nat Turner; it does not purport to describe accurately or authoritatively the events as they occurred. Some historians consider Gray's account of Turner's"confessions" to be told with prejudice. And recently one writer has alleged that Gray's account is itself a fabrication. Styron takes liberties with the historical Nat Turner. Whose life is otherwise undocumented. The"Confessions" is largely sympathetic to Turner, if not to his thoughts. Thank you and Good Luck.
