1862 CIVIL WAR ENGRAVING SOLDIER'S RECORD Currier & Ives 151 regiment NYSV

In the pictures there are Dark Shades and Reflections. This is not how it is in person. This is a great soldiers record printed by Currier and Ives. Most hurting too United States Service August 18th 1862, attached to 151st regiment NYSV. Colonel William Emerson, Lieutenant Colonel Irwin a Bowen, Major GI Fay.

Lieutenant Chas Bogardus, Captain H Bowen, Lieutenant Benj B Janner (died of fever in Washington September 1863). As you can see each person on top was in charge of the troops down below.

It was their job to write in what happened to each person as they died, got wounded or disappeared. Some died of lockjaw, somewhere shot in Baltimore or in Pennsylvania. A lot lost limbs and some died of the fever.

On the bottom right and left I cannot make out what is written but I haven't tried too hard. There is a 2" rip on the top and a 2" rip on the bottom but they don't seem to affect it. The back of the frame was a mess so I took it out and clean the glass. When I put it back in I see I put the rip on the bottom over the date. That can be fixed just by opening it and setting it across the other side.

There is some newspaper under it that has car ads from about 1919. This is a very complete document without frayed edges.

This is a true Civil War document. It's not a fake or a reproduction. It's the real deal. It's a lot brighter in person.

The colors are bright and clean in person. Just the bottom 2 Corners are faded where they wrote in the boxes. A restoration service could fix that. This is one rare document. I will pack it very well myself and I will insure it. No offers and I can't end auctions early. Please see my other auctions. I see a lot of troops were lost at cold Harbor. HERE'S A LITTLE INFO ABOUT COLD HARBOR. On May 31st, 1864, Maj. Phil Sheridans cavalry seized the vital crossroads of Old Cold Harbor. The following morning, Sheridan was able to repulse an attempted repossession by Confederate infantry. Confederate reinforcements soon arrived and clashed with the Union Sixth and Eighteenth Corps when they reached Cold Harbor that evening.

By June 2nd, the armies had formed a seven-mile front that extended from Bethesda Church to the Chickahominy River. Grant was poised for a major assault on General Robert E. Lees right flank to cut off the Confederates off from Richmond, but when Maj. Winfield Hancock's Second Corps arrived after a midnight march too fatigued to support the Union left flank, the operation was postponed until the following day.

This fatal delay gave Lee's troops time to build an impressive line of trenches. At dawn June 3rd, the Union Second, Sixth and Eighteenth Corps, followed later by the Fifth and Ninth Corps, assaulted along the Bethesda Church-Cold Harbor line and were slaughtered at all points.

Grant pulled out of Cold Harbor after nine days of trench warfare and undertook a new campaign to flank Lee's army across the James River at Petersburg. Grant later expressed remorse for the egregious Union casualties at Cold Harbor, stating, I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor was ever made... No advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained.
