Ajouter au panierDisbound. Etat : Very good. This two-page leaf, measuring 7.75" x 12.5", contains five morning, provisioning, and forage reports for Captain Andrew Stevensons Company of Artillery. It was maintained while the unit was stationed at Camp Holly Springs, as part of Colonel Barlowe's 2nd Virginia Regiment, in defense of Richmond, Vir…ginia. In nice shape. Two of the entries are from 1814, and three are from 1815. The morning reports include tables showing unit strength by officers, sergeants, corporals, privates, surgeons, drummers, and fifers. The provisioning report notes that the unit was "now in the service of the United States from the 6th [of January 1814] until the 10th day of January 1815 and was entitled to draw complete rations of 540 troops. The forage report also notes that the unit was entering United States service in January 1914 and was entitled to draw forage for 14 horses until January 1815. This amounted to 30 bushels and five gallons of corn plus 1,372 pounds of straw per week. . (For more information, see Butler's A Guide to Virginia Militia Units in the War of 1812.) War of 1812 artillery reports are especially scarce. Nothing similar is for sale in the trade or has appeared at auction per the Rare Book Hub. There may be some artillery-related entries in a partial example of a War of 1812 Virginia Milita orderly book that is held by the University of Michigan or a complete Virginia "minute and records" book held by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. .
