MEMBER OF

This is a Joshua Chamberlain letter concerning a volume of the Roster of Brigade Commanders...He mentions several Generals  including Vincent and Bartlett....The writing and signature are in bold ink and very legible.....written on The Florida West Coast Improvement Co. letterhead with caption "Constructing the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf Railroad". 

The letter is not dated but Chamberlain served as Vice President of The Florida West Coast Improvement Company in the 1880's so it can be assumed to be from that period....there is a a discoloration at the top with little or no affect on this very rare Chamberlain Post War piece...The text is unquestionably entirely in Chamberlain's hand and written all at once.  It appears however, that his signature (although authentic) was added later..$1,750.00....REDUCED....$1,250.00

  This great partly printed document on vellum is in Latin and is an 1842 diploma from the University of Nashville granting a Bachelor of Arts to  John Wharton Williams. The diploma is boldly signed by Andrew Jackson who is at the top of a list of several other trustees....among the other trustees are John Bell who was Secretary of War under Harrison and Tyler and a candidate for President in the 1860 election....other signers include university president Philip Lindsley and Nashville founder, Francis Fogg.

The silk and paper seal remains intact at the center....The document measures 18" X 17" is in fine condition and  perfect for framing. It's clearly dated October 5, 1842...interestingly Vanderbilt University later acquired the medical school and other departments of the University of Nashville.....Truly a rare document from early Nashville and signed by "Old Hickory".......$2,500.00

This original DS from a prestigious collection is signed by N. B. Forrest as President of Selma, Marion & Memphis Railroad Company.

Forrest for subscriptions sold in the Railroad's stock. It is also signed by W. R. Hunt,  former comrade and  Confederate Lt. Colonel.

The historic piece is beautifully framed with burl walnut and under museum UV glass......SOLD

Johnny Clem.........."Drummer Boy Of Chickamauga" ..."Johnny Shiloh" and a half dozen other names have been given this Civil War Boy Hero.  John Joseph Klem ran away from home in the spring of 1861 at age 9 years to join the Union Army.   He was turned down for enlistment by regiments of his home state of Ohio.  He eventually tagged along with them and was adopted as a mascot and drummer boy by the 22nd Massachusetts.   Regimental Officers chipped in to pay Johnny his 13.00 monthly salary and the enlisted men provided the young boy with a musket cut to size and a full uniform.

Johnny's drum was smashed by a cannon ball during fierce fighting at Shiloh.........soon afterwards he changed his name and spelling to:  Johnny Lincoln Clem  and the legend continued.  In September of 1863, during fighting at Chickamauga many members of the 22nd were captured by Confederates......Johnny escaped after shooting a Confederate Officer.  In October of 1863, Johnny was captured by Confederate Cavalry while detailed as a train guard.....He was exchanged a short time later.
