(Sherman, Major-General William T.; Harriet Beecher Stowe)

Harper's Weekly (March 12, 1864)

New York, 1864. First Edition. 0 pp. Disbound. COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL ISSUE, NOT A REPRINT. A RARE HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. In remarkable condition--still bright and clean with no tears except to spine where disbound. Two pages do show fading and there is scattered, light foxing. Excellent cover illustration of Major-General William T. Sherman sitting on a camp chair in a field with a messenger at his side taking notes with his horse waiting in the background. Spectacular center-fold collage, "Story of the Sea, Incidents in the Life of a Sailor" which shows in exacting details 8 stirring scenes in the story of a wreck of a ship and the rescue of its sailors. Literary review (in one paragraph) of the "Life of Lynman Beecher," the father of Harriet Beecher Stowe. "The work though edited by Charles Beecher is really the joint production of serferal members of the family." Remarkable full-page illustration of "Escaping Union Officers Succored by Slavfes" with story. This page is one of two showing fading but the picture is still very clear and stark. The fading is uniform, and with all the ink in the drawing, is hardly noticeable. Also of note is a full-page "Map of the Campaign in East Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida." Chps. 3 and 4 of "Quite Alone" by George Augustus Sala. Also, seven illustrations: portraits of Major-General Palmer and Brigadier-General W.S. Smith, "Bridge Across The Holston, at Knoxville, Tennesee" by C.H. Perring, "Sanderson Florida, Occupied by Our Advance Before the Battle of Olustee," "Scene of the Fight at the Plank Bridge over Big Creek, at Barber's, February 19, 1864," "Barber's House at the Ford on Big Creek, Colonel Barton's Headquarters," and "Wreck of the 'Bohemian' as Seen the Morning after She Sunk.". Very Good.

Wood, born on October 9, 1860 in Winchester, New Hampshire, graduated Harvard Medical School in 1884. After working in private practice in Boston for two years, he secured a job as army assistant surgeon with the rank of first lieutenant in January 1886. Routine successes and close relationships with political giants (Wood formed a close friendship with Theodore Roosevelt and helped Roosevelt organize the 1st Volunteer Calvary Regiment for service in the Spanish-American War in May 1898) allowed for a quick advancement in his military service, which eventually aroused some controversy. "Promoted to brigadier general, and in December of that year he was promoted again to major general of volunteers and named military governor of Cuba. During his term in that post great strides were taken in improving internal conditions, notably through the sanitation work of Maj. William C. Gorgas. Modern school, police, transportation, and communications systems were established, and a new constitution and body of laws were drawn up." (Webster's American Military Biographies, p. 488). In May of 1902 Wood stepped down from his executive position in order for the popularly elected President Tomas Estrada Palma to take over. "Aggressive, ambitious, and self-righteous, Wood was not an easy man to work with; his change from medical doctor to fighting soldier, and his rise from captain to brigadier general in the space of five years (1898-1903), aroused considerable distrust and hostility in and out of the army.. his single-inded advocacy of the Plattsburgh Idea, later to resurface as the ROTC, contributed greatly to US readiness in World War I; unquestionably one of the greatest U.S. soldiers." -The Harper Encyclopedia of Military Biography, p.807.
