David G. Farragut War-Dated Autograph Letter Signed One Week After the Battle of Mobile Bay, Affirming the Delivery of Over 200 "rebel prisoners" Civil War-dated ALS signed “D. G. Farragut, Rear Admiral,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, U.S. Flag Ship Hartford letterhead, August 12, 1864. Addressed from Farragut’s flagship, the USS Hartford, anchored off of Mobile Bay, Alabama, a handwritten letter to Lieutenant Henry L. Howison, commander of the USS Bienville, in full: “You will receive onboard the rebel prisoners who will be delivered to you by Lieut. Adams of this vessel, and proceed with them at once to New Orleans and on arrival report to Commodore Palmer who will deliver them to the Provost Marshall as prisoners of war.” A secretarial notation to the bottom area affirms the reception of “209 Rebel Prisoners.” Includes a carte-de-visite 2.25 x 3.5 portrait photo of Farragut in uniform, published by Brady’s National Photographic Portrait Galleries. In fine condition. A remarkable letter from Rear Admiral Farragut written one week after the historic Battle of Mobile Bay, which resulted in the United States Navy’s seizure of the last important port on the Gulf of Mexico east of the Mississippi River that remained in Confederate possession. It was from this fateful battle where Farragut's, perhaps apocryphal, order of ‘Damn the torpedoes! Four bells. Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!’ became famous in paraphrase, as ‘Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!’

Union Soldier's Letter, Written a Day Before the Battle of the Crater: "The rebel sharpshooters have been picking off our gunners" Civil War-dated ALS from Union soldier George A. Spencer of Co. I, 7th Rhode Island Infantry, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7.5, July 29, 1864. Addressed from “Comp 7th R. I. Vols., near Petersburg, Va.,” a handwritten letter to his parents, offering his thoughts and events leading up to the Battle of the Crater, which occurred the next day. In part: “They put the powder under the rebel fort last night 7 tons of it. there will be a mess here in a few days...The rebel sharpshooters have been picking off our gunners from a big yellow house. Yesterday we got a new battery into position and opened on the house with Greek fire. You ought to have seen the sharpshooters come out of that house some out the windows and some out the door...and then the pickets set up a yelling and crowing and that mad the Johnnys mad and they began to throw mortar shells by the cart load and then our 32 pound battery opened on the city and that soon stopped their mortars and all was quiet again and then the band played.” In fine condition. The Battle of the Crater took place as part of the Siege of Petersburg on Saturday, July 30, 1864, when Union forces exploded a mine under Confederate position that immediately killed 278 Confederate soldiers of the 18th and 22nd South Carolina and left an enormous crater that is still visible today. Instead of being a decisive advantage to the Union, the explosion precipitated a rapid deterioration in Union position as unit after unit charged into and around the crater. Once recovered from the blast, Confederate soldiers wrapped around the crater and began firing rifles and artillery down into it in what Brigadier General William Mahone later described as a ‘turkey shoot.’ U. S. Grant considered this failed assault as ‘the saddest affair I have witnessed in this war.’
