LARGE CIVIL WAR ARCHIVE FROM CO. D 3RD MAINE VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

LARGE CIVIL WAR ARCHIVE FROM CO. D 3RD MAINE VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This archive contains material often signed by Lt. Woodbury Hall. Many documents list lots of the soldiers, especially in Company D of the 3rd Maine. Documents span the war from 1861-1865. There is one diary from 1863 that has scattered entries culminating in day by day accounts from June 11th through August 31st with the day by day account of the Battle of Gettysburg and the campaign before and after. On his July 2nd entry he originally states “we lost about 4 men killed”. It is later crossed out and changed to 5 and then to 6. There is also morning report from August that lists 6 men by name who were casualties at Gettysburg on July 2nd. Other various reports list local men who were discharged, died of disease, died at other battles or in Rebel prisons. In all there are about 100 miscellaneous war time letters, various bureaucratic reports such as those just described and several broadsides. One large broadside measuring 20″ x 10-1/2″, is titled “ENROLLMENT AND DRAFT!” over a 7-1/2″ x 3″ American eagle. This broadside and a few others of similar size and smaller detail enrollment and drafting of Maine citizens. The one described is for draftable age men of Vienna, Maine. Also included in this grouping are two small bound journals of limited content, one from 1861 does list about 100 men from Bath, Maine, including their officers, in May 1861. There is a copy of an 1864 published book on the Rebel invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania and the Battle of Gettysburg with a fold out map by M. Jacobs. This book is signed by Woodbury Hall, 1st Lt. Company D, 3rd Maine Volunteers. This book is complete and intact, the map has a tear, however, and covers are water damaged but contents are fine. There are also 12 military manuals, all in very good condition and complete with the exception of “Cavalry Tactics”, which is missing cover and end-papers, title page and introduction, but is complete from page 3 to end with plates and 119 pages. Other manuals include 1862 “Instructions for Making Muster-rolls” and “Mustering into Service…Discharging from Service of Volunteers or Militia”. This book is 46 pages of text and wraps. Next manual is the “Company Clerk” by Capt. August Kautz, has 142 pages, published 1864, bound in blue/green cloth with gilt decoration, solid with staining and soiling on front cover. There is a nice copy of Daniel Butterfield’s 1863 publication “Camp and Outpost Duties for Infantry”, 124 pages, bound in black cloth with gilt decoration. There is a copy of “instruction for Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers on Outpost and Patrol Duty and Troops in Campaign”. This copy was published by the government printing office in 1863 and is 88 pages in salmon colored wraps, water stained but sound. There is an 1856 edition of “Militia Laws of the State of Maine”, 106 pages bound in black cloth with gilt decoration. There is a 2 volume set of “Hardee’s Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics”. Both volumes are signed by Woodbury Hall, 1st Lt, Company D, 3rd Maine Vols. This set is bound in half leather with gilt spine titles, books appear complete with fold out plates. There is also an 1861 edition of 250 page, Volume 1, “US Infantry and Rifle Tactics”. There are also 2 1862 volumes 2 and 3 of “Casey’s Infantry Tactics”. All these manuals appears used in the field but are in relatively very good condition with good markings, as can be seen in pictures. There is also an appointment from the State of Maine that measures 14″ x 17-1/2″ for James Dale of Bangor, being commissioned 2nd Lt. 1st Artillery in 1864. CONDITION: Overall documents are average, as are books, as described above. 4-45023 JS104 (2,000-3,000)
