American Civil War - a report of private Edward Tindall of the Keystone Battery of Philadelphia Report about the misdoing of Lt. Walsh and Sergeant Brown during the Civil War, five pages written in ink. Tindall recollects that he, like other sons of wealthy families of Philadelphia, was a soldier of the Keystone Battery "during the war of rebellion". The Battery was subordinated to the 196th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers and was not, as had been promised, equipped with "Field Pieces (called cannons)" but with muskets and detached to infantry service. After guarding "Rebel Prisoners at Camp Chase" near Chicago, the regiment was chosen to guard the city of Springfield, hometown of President Abraham Lincoln, as security guard. At that time the highly esteemed "Boys in our company" were made part of the social life by the "upper class of the community of Springfield". Lieutenant Robert Walsh and Sergeant Amos Brown betrayed this confidence of the Springfield community, forgot their good breeding far from home and seduced and impregnated two virgin girls from wealthy families. With it the diary of his later wife Martha R. Bannan from October 1856 to August 1858. More than 180 pages written in ink, dark blue leather binding (binding somewhat loose, back with imperfections). With the verve of a probably 16- or 17-year-old school girl, she describes meticulously accurate and piously her daily life, social and familial events, first romances and much more. Furthermore two studio photographs (Broadbent & Co., Philadelphia, and Edward Morgan, Philadelphia, partly colored) of Martha R. Bannan, one inscribed on the reverse side "Grandmother Tindall...", as well as two photographs of Edward Tindall in Civil War uniform of the Union (one colored, Broadbent & Co., Philadelphia, and Rehn & Hurn, Philadelphia), one inscribed on the reverse side "Edward Tindall in Civil War Uniform (Grandfather Tindall)". She is probably Martha Ridgway Bannan who translated "Die Laune des Verliebten" ("The Lover's Caprice") and "Die Fischerin" ("The Fisher Maiden") by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe into English, published in 1899 by John C. Yorston in Philadelphia ("Translated for the First Time and in Original Meters"). Condition: II -
