   Folks, this is simply a "Must Have" reference work if you
have even a passing interest in collecting Confederate Knives. We have a rather extensive Civil War reference library
that includes several books by various authors and historians dedicated solely to 19th century knives. Lee Hadaway's
great work is a no nonsense and very instructive approach to identifying and collecting genuine Confederate Blades
and I use it more than any other knife reference....the book gives clear and concise information on how to spot the
reproductions and foreign imports. So whether you're an advanced and long term collector or a relatively new comer to
hobby, you can profit greatly and save yourself a lot grief from Lee's 208 pages of text and photographs.

Complete and Rare
Genuine Historic Newspaper
THE CRISIS,
Columbus, Ohio
July 8, 1863.
Described as "The
Hottest Rebel Sheet to be found in the North or
the South", it opposed the war and attracted the
hatred of the Republicans and the Lincoln
administration. It insisted that slavery could not
be prohibited by law. So obnoxious was this paper
to Unionists that it was denied circulation in
some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a
hateful mob. This 8 page newspaper contains news
of the day and interesting advertisements
throughout. Very rare
Pro
Confederate newspaper from the
North with news. Great condition.....
* Eve of the Battle of Gettysburg
Pennsylvania PA
*Anti Yankee Periodical From North
*Hatred Towards Lincoln Administration
*Original Civil War Reporting
Background information:While
many Democrats during this time period,
especially those living in the South, believed
that slavery should be legal everywhere, Medary
and many of his fellow Democrats in the North
believed that slavery should only expand if
people residing in an area wanted the
institution. It is unclear whether or not Medary
believed that slavery was a moral institution.
He did strongly oppose the Civil War. He firmly
believed that the North could not defeat the
South militarily and utilized his newspaper, now
known as The Crisis, to criticize President
Abraham Lincoln and the war effort. During the
war, Medary was a Peace Democrat, someone who
believed that the conflict should be ended
immediately. He strongly supported Clement
Vallandigham as the Democratic candidate in the
race for governor in 1863. Vallandigham was
living in exile in the South and then in Canada.
The Union military had forcibly removed him from
Ohio for denouncing the war. Despite Medary's
efforts, Vallandigham lost the election of 1863.
Medary continued to criticize the Union war
effort and to call for immediate end to the
conflict. Many people disagreed with his views,
including a mob of soldiers from Camp Chase who
torched his newspaper office in 1863. Medary
died on November 7, 1864.....$329.00

This is one of the finest and most unusual pieces of soldier art carving
that we've ever seen. The piece is carved from horn and consists
of a spoon, knife, fork and tooth pick. All of the components are
secured with iron pins and fold into the body similar to a folding
pocket knife. The artifact is completely functional and could have
been used as the soldier's mess utensils. It's also possible that
it was carved by a prisoner with a lot of time to fill.....
It is in excellent condition and is of
museum quality...a conversation piece like no other and will make your
relic room shine.......$495.00
