Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Dispensing 52-caliber death at long distance was their specialty and it made them a favorite target. With their Colts, Sharps, and Whitworth globe rifles, led by one of the world's premier marksmen, Berdan's sharpshooters played an important role at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wildern…ess, Brandy Station, and many other battles.Here is the complete history of this unique cadre of men and how they prosecuted their unique brand of warfare from 1861 to 1865.Engineer, inventor, military officer, world-renowned marksman, and commanding colonel of the United States Volunteer Sharpshooter Regiments during the American Civil War, Hiram Berdan's story and that of his men are little-known today. Yet it is one of the most compelling, exciting, and important stories of the war.Berdan's regiments played a pivotal role in delaying Confederate attacks at Devil's Den and the Peach Orchard at the Battle of Gettysburg.Charles N. Race, of Company K, was one of the youngest soldiers in the Union service, having mustered in 1862 at the age of 14, and was the only Berdan Sharpshooter of the original members remaining as a sharpshooter until the end of the war, July 17, 1865After the war, Hiram Berdan invented the Berdan rifle, Berdan primer, and other weapons.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. BOOK DESCRIPTION: 8vo, xxiii, 555 pgs, 48 illustrations. Decorative green cloth with gilt decoration and titled cover and spine. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Original cloth rubbed, dulled and soiled. Corners rubbed, upper spine cloth creased and rubbed, spine ends rubbed. Gilt is present b…ut dulled on spine, with cover gilt brighter. Inked and dated presentation from Charles J. Buchanan (see pages 454-55, 531) of Albany to Frederic B. Stevens, Dec. 28, 1901. Blank preliminary page and reverse of frontis with old clear tape repair. Small tear on fore-edge of frontis, else pages are clean. Sturdy, but hinge weak towards rear of the book. With clear mylar wrapper. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: One of the famous Union Regiments, the U.S. Sharpshooters consisted of individual companies from the various states, organized by Hiram Berdan, a noted marksman of the day. Armed with Sharps breechloaders, the two regiments distinguished themselves in combat while serving with the Army of the Potomac. Dressed in green cloth and leather leggings, they claimed participation in sixty-five actions and battles, especially distinguishing themselves at South Mountain, Chancellorsville and at Gettysburg. In his book Regimental Losses in the Civil War, Colonel Fox states this about the Sharpshooters, "They were of a high grade in physical qualifications and intelligence. They were continually in demand as skirmishers on account of their wonderful proficiency as such, and they undoubtedly killed more men than any other regiment in the army. In skirmishing they had no equal". The presentation is from Charles J. Buchanan, whose soldering story, with portrait, is told on pgs 454-455, and separate biography appears on pg. 531 of the book. Buchanan enlisted as a volunteer in the 1st Regiment of U. S. (Berdan's) Sharpshooters and in which he served with distinguished gallantry for three years, rising to the rank of first lieutenant and acting adjutant. At the close of the war in 1865 he accepted an appointment as clerk in the Quartermaster-General's office at Washington and for a time was stationed at Fort Snelling, Minn. After about a year he resigned this position to complete his academic studies, which his enlistment had interrupted. In 1867 General Hancock offered him a lieutenancy in the regular army, which he declined, and this same year he was appointed by President Johnson a cadet to the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, where he made valuable use of his time. In October, 1870, he resigned his cadetship to study law. He becomes one of the most respected attorneys in Albany, NY having a long and distinguished career. On July 3, 1889, Buchanan delivered the oration at Gettysburg on the dedication of the monument to the 1st Regiment of U. S. Sharpshooters, which is appended to this book on pgs 543-546. Very good copy of a quite scarce publication; here with a nice unit association. REFERENCE: DORNBUSCH II #1817; EICHER #1092: "This lengthly unit history is seen partly through the eyes of a regimental member and partly through the eyes of others of the unit. Stevens served as 1st lieutenant in the innovative regiment which consisted of members from Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The unusual nature of the sharpshooters' mission and the regiment's storied performance on several fields - notably Gettysburg, where they worked well into the Confederate lines along Seminary Ridge - makes for absorbing reading. But for the most part the narrative offers a relatively straightforward and detailed account of a most unusual fighting unit. The author's literate and thoughtful reflections on personalities and battles add greatly to this history's lasting value."; NEVINS I pg 162: "A superb regimental history of one of the Norths most famous commands; a professional journalist, Stevens captured drama, color, and excitement." FOX regimental Losses pg 418-419.

Añadir al carritoOne coloured lithograph, sized 11.25 x 8.5 in. extracted from the original Explorations and Surveys volumes, a fine crisp copy. First edition of this view of Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory while future General Ulysses Grant was stationed there as a quartermaster Captain. The original survey was one of the most important an…d massive compilations of exploration reports and scientific data ever published about the Trans-Mississippi West. Published by the Federal Government at the urging of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, and the result of numerous reconnaissance surveys of exploring four major routes surveyed for the Pacific Railroad -- these reports represent the first attempt at a comprehensive, systematic geographical exploration of the Western regions of America, and made possible the first reasonably accurate topographical maps of the West. Vols I & XII (parts 1 & 2) are still considered some of the best early sources of information on the Pacific Northwest, the Puget Sound, and the tribes of Washington Territory. Of the eleven official expedition artists, the most prominent is the renowned John M. Stanley (1814-1872) most widely known for his portraits of Native Americans and their way of life. Warren's Map of the Territory of the United States from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean (Vol. XI) was considered by Howe as the best cartographical work on the West up to its time, and was used for 25 years following as the definitive reference.
