Anderson New York May, 1862; PLUS image of a West Point Cadet identified as Cadet Harrison Hall, Wa. with imprint of Charles D. Fredrick's & Co. N.Y.; PLUS image of Capt. William L. Patterson 1st Ohio Infantry which had a distinguished service record in the western theater of the war with imprint of Louis Seebohn, Dayton; PLUS image in civilian dress of Col. William Jones 40th Ohio Infantry which served with Rosencrans and Sherman with distinguished service record, with imprint of Hoag & Quick's Cincinnati; AND a rare image of Dr. Willis G. Edwards, inscribed on verso in period ink with name and San Antonio Texas. James Hall (1793-1868) was born in Philadelphia, moving west in 1820 to Shawneetown, IL. There he established a law practice and in 1824 was appointed as a judge in the 4th Circuit Court. Although he served only a short time, he was referred to as ?Judge Hall? for the remainder of his life. The ?Judge? was also a prolific writer, establishing two magazines and publishing numerous books and articles from fiction and poetry to education and history. Charles Anderson (1814-1895) was born in Louisville, KY. His father served in the Revolutionary War as a Colonel and ADC to Lafayette, moving to Kentucky as a surveyor. Charles attended Miami University in Ohio, then returned to Louisville to study law, gaining admission to the bar in 1835. He then returned to Ohio and established a law practice in Dayton. He served in the state Senate, and was a vocal advocate for equal rights for former slaves. He moved to Cincinnati for a short time, but health problems prompted him to return to Dayton and his farm just outside the city. In 1859, still seeking a more favorable climate for his continuing ill-health, he moved to Texas. Rumors about impending war prompted Anderson to become a vocal supporter of the Union. When war was declared, fearing for his family?s safety in a secessionist state, he tried to make his way to Mexico. He was arrested and imprisoned in San Antonio, but escaped and finally reached the southern nation. [His flight to Mexico apparently gained some attention at the time, and is referenced in a letter to his daughter, Lot 1592 this sale.] Dr. Willis was with Anderson when they met with R.E. Lee at Lee's request about a pamphlet that Anderson had forwarded to Lee from Gen. Winfield Scott. At this meeting Lee returned the pamphlet and asked Anderson: My friend I must make one request of you, and that is, that you will not suffer these views to get into the newspapers. (Freeman 1934:417-418) Scott's pamphlet would likely have inflamed the crisis in Texas even further. Shortly after his escape to Mexico, Anderson returned to Ohio, serving initially in fund-raising capacities for President Lincoln. He was commissioned as a Colonel in the 93rd OVI, but a serious wound incurred at Stones River prompted him to resign his commission and return home, with every expectation of dying of these wounds. Anderson recovered, and was elected Lieut. Governor in 1863 (term beginning 1864). He became Governor at the death of John Brough in August 1865. He did not run for re-election, serving only until Jan. 1866, a relatively short and uneventful term, since the war had ended by then. In 1870, he returned to Kuttawa, KY, where he lived the remainder of his life. Lot includes printed soldiers and Unit histories of those listed above. Condition: 1st image of Anderson has 3 horizontal creases, others VG.
