THE AUTHOR'S RETAINED COPY OF THE MANUSCRIPT FINAL REPORT OF PROVOST MARSHAL JAMES ROWAN O'BEIRNE TO EDWIN STANTON, REGARDING THE HUNT FOR ASSASSIN JOHN WILKES BOOTH AND THE CONSPIRATORS]. Washington, D.C. May 1, 1865. - [10]pp. Lined legal paper (six sides of four sheets), plus three appendices written on four sheets, 8" x 13" and one albumen photograph. Typical mailing folds, tiny repairs to a couple corners, some staple holes at top, one short fold separation. The albumen mount is trimmed close at top, with some stains and minor loss to the lower left corner of the albumen, staining to the edges of the mount. Overall very good. From the Philip D. Sang Collection Provost Marshal James O’Beirne’s final report to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton on the search for the conspirators who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. On April 16, the day after Lincoln's death, Stanton ordered O'Beirne to track down John Wilkes Booth and his associates. The conspirators still in Washington D.C. were quickly rounded up by O'Bierne, who became a key player in the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth and David Herold. He was hot on the trail of the conspirators when ordered to remain in Maryland while agents of Lafayette C. Baker and the Secret Service were dispatched to Virginia. That military contingent caught up with Booth and Herold at Garrett's Farm on April 26, where Booth died and Herold was captured, effectively ending the hunt. The report is hand-written in a secretarial hand, dated May 1 and summarizes O'Beirne's activities "in the pursuit of the assassins of our late beloved and merciful President as also of the Secretary of State and family." His list of accomplishments points to the "seizure of the murderous weapons.owned by G. A. Atzerodt," leading the "first prompt pursuit into Maryland after Booth and Herold," then "bringing up the clues to the murderers to within twenty four hours later," the "arrest of [John] Lloyd and Dr. Mudd," the "first discovery of Booth's and Herold's flight into Virginia," the "information which led to the arrest of G.A. Atzerodt in Montgomery County, Maryland," and after going to the Peterson House he "secured the presence of the President's physician and other Medical Gentlemen," bringing Andrew Johnson to the Peterson House and escorting him back to the Kirkwood House. He refers to various reports and documentation, as well as listing colleagues who he thanks. The front of the first page has a pencil inscription in O'Beirne's hand, reading, "awaiting[?] appendices D. report of Dec 27/65 wanted from AGO," suggesting (with the other elements of the archive) this is his personal copy. "Appendix A" lists "Articles Found in the room of G.A. Atzerodt at the Kirkwood House," including a coat "belonging to Booth or Herold," a revolver, a Bowie knife, a "Blank book of J Wilkes Booth, and more. "Appendix F" is a notarized deposition from Robert Murray, Marshal for the Southern District of New York, affirming a statement by Stanton to O'Beirne "that if you did not succeed in capturing Booth, it was the telegram which you sent to the War Department which led to it." "Appendix G" is a notarized statement by Patrick Brennan recalling a conversation between Marshals Murray and O'Beirne in which Murray affirmed hearing Stanton say that O'Beirne's telegram led directly to the capture of Booth and Herold and "that all the officers who were in pursuit did their duty nobly." Accompanying the report is a graphic albumen photograph from Gardner's INCIDENTS OF THE WAR. It is 6 3/4 x 9 inches on the original 9 1/4 x 11 inch title mount, and is hand- captioned "Office of the Provost Marshall General's Office Washington, D.C. 1865 Draped in Mourning for Abraham Lincoln President of the United States. Cross (x) Gen'l Jas. Rowan O'Beirne Provost Marshall District of Columbia." O'Beirne stands in the front row with his hands in his pockets, and someone has marked an "X" in ink beneath him. Captain Edward P. Doherty, who led the troops that captured and killed Booth, stands in the doorway. Because he was kept out of Virginia, and so denied the chance to capture his prey, O'Beirne was initially denied any part of the reward money and, enbitte [Bookseller: William Reese Company - Americana]

THE ASSASSINATION AND DEATH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AT WASHINGTON, ON THE 14th OF APRIL, 1865. New York: American News Company, [1865]. - 12pp. Self-wrappers, sewn, as issued. Bottom corner of title leaf with a tiny repair, faint marginal dampstain. Very good. According to the fourth volume of MIDLAND NOTES, this is the "first separately published account of the assassination." Each leaf is edged in black to represent mourning. The text covers events of the evening of the 14th of April and through the morning of the 15th, including the events at Ford's Theatre and the attack on Secretary Seward. It was probably printed within a few days of Lincoln's death, certainly prior to the capture of any of those connected with the plot.

Atalanta in Calydon. A Tragedy London: Edward Moxon, 1865. First edition. 111 pp. 1 vols. 4to. Original cream-colored buckram. Covers stamped in gold designs. Very nice copy With the Buxton Forman bookplate. Buxton Forman's Copy Wise states that only 100 copies of this, the true first edition; were printed. This number was greeted with skepticism by later collectors, and no fewer than 101 copies of the first were assembled by a single private collector, and are now in the Syracuse University library. This copy is signed the front free-endpaper, "H. Buxton Forman/13 May, 1865." A very nice association. Buxton Forman was Wise's partner in many of the fake Victorian pamphlets. He like Wise was a bibliographer and avid book collector. [Bookseller: James Cummins Bookseller]
