Crimean War Interest, Letter Written by Light Brigade Charger and Author of “Recollections of a Young Soldier during the Crimean War” Harry Powell – About the Battle of Chobotar, being hand written letter asking for permission from Captain Thomas to include the incident at the battle of Chobotar during the Crimean War, he was asking for consent to publish, “About 2 days march from Eupatoria on the Road to Baghleh-Enserai we saw General d’Allonville who commanded the whole force, drawn up with his staff on the brow of a small hill in front of us. Captain Thomas trotted his Troop at the foot of the hill alluded to. He found the General wished him to come into action against a battery of Russian guns, about half a mile off. Captain Thomas saw they were three heavy Russian 18 pounders while his own were only 9’s, on looking over the ground he saw a little square peg and others at regular distances, he said nothing, but instead of bringing his troops into action as he had been told he galloped down till within 400 yards of the enemy, fired two rounds from all his guns, limbered up and galloped back over the crest of the hill without loss, having dismounted one Russian gun damaged another killed several men & horses”.Accompanying the letter is Captain Thomas corrections, “the troop was not halted till it came into action. Col T has no glasses & remained in action till ordered to retire when the Russian battery had moved to the right, away from their position”. The final item in the group is a extract from the manuscript written by Reverend H Hulleat “C” Troop in Crimea, “I am ashamed to confess it, could not help jumping with delight in my saddle. And now the enemy who had been pounding away with considerable effect against the French and Turkish Artillery angrily turns on us with his terrible 18prs. But we are at the bottom of the hollow and those big guns can’t depress sufficiently & the huge shot fly harmlessly over our heads whilst our drives sit quietly erect in their saddles, on the order to retire, we who dare break into canter. It is a point of honour with our Horse Artillery never to gallop away from the enemy. The French and Turkish artillery on either side of us suffered terribly from the long bowls of 32prs that caught them on the skyline. I never felt prouder of my charge than on the occasion of this brilliant little affair at Chobotar, and recalling General Von Wrangel’s praise for the troop at the balle and sending his compliments to its gallant commander”. All remain in good condition with the ink still remaining clear and readable. Three pieces in total.
American Civil War Period Family Photograph Album with Signed Picture of Abraham Lincoln and Other Notable Americans of this Period, interesting album compiled by Caroline May Davies. The album consists of various CDV photographs, most of which are identified. Album starts with images of members of her family including an image of Admiral Edward May in Union Naval uniform, Samuel J May (Cousin of John S May) under his name is inked “great abolitionist”. Album then moves onto various CDV images of various Union officers including Major Joseph Kirkland (went onto be an American novelist), Major William White 44th Massachusetts Regiment, Captain John R Howard, Colonel Franklin Haven, Colonel Ned Haven, Colonel Van Brunt, Commodore Watkins Pacific Fleet and Major Baldwin, most are photographed in Military uniform. Other people of note identified in the album are of a Political nature or members of American (Boston) High Society, these include an image described as Clarence Serrard Secretary for State (the Secretary of State at this period was William Henry Seward), American Banker and Writer Edward N Westcott, American Poet and Diplomat James Russell Lowell, American Poet and Unitarian Minister Rev John Pierpoint, plus others. Towards the back of the album is a signed CDV of Salmon P Chase Secretary of Treasury under President Lincoln later Chief Justice of Supreme Court. During his role as Secretary Treasury during the American Civil War, he was responsible for the setting up of the American National Banking System and the issue of Paper currency. It was Chase who managed to secure the funding for the Union Army to fight the Civil War and he was instrumental in placing the phrase “In God We Trust” on American currency. On the same page as the Chase CDV is the one of the then president Abraham Lincoln, being the famous image published by E Anthony 501 Broadway, New York, from photographic negative, from Brady’s National Portrait Gallery. The image is signed in pencil on the reverse “A Lincoln”, from research undertook it appears that Abraham Lincoln only like to sign on the front of photographs which had large borders able to fit his signature without affecting the photograph, this is why this one has been signed on the reverse. The image taken originally by Mathew Brady shows the president sitting at a table in reflective mood, to the left hand side you can just make out part of his famous top hat. All images are housed in a period album, some leaves are left empty which would indicate that the album was never completed by Mrs Davies, the sleeves that have been left empty do not have any description underneath so we do not believe that any images have been removed. All images remain clear and any which are signed including the one of Lincoln, the signatures remain clear. Front album cover detached. (72 images) This item was purchased by a scrap gold dealer in the East End of London in the early 1990’s and has never been offered on the open market before. It is possible that a member of the Davies family left the USA at some point and settled here in the UK. Interesting research potential.
