SAVANNAH: THE SOCIETY, 1975 



A group c)t t'it'tyH)ne previously unrecorded ('oiilederate inipruits marks witli 
^^distinction the collection of Conlederate publications m ilie library ot the Ckorgia 
i.Historical Society. Thougli the collection at Hodgson Hall di)es not rank among the 
Miiost extensive groups of Confederate imprints, the presence of these unrecorded 
'pieces and other rare Confederate publications, many of them relating to (Georgia's 
' history during the Civil War. assures it the attention of historians of Georgia and of 
"^historians of the Confederacy. 

) It is not necessary to retell here the distinguished beginnings of the Georgia 
' Historical Society in 1839 or its leadership in collecting from repositories in 
England copies of materials relating to the state's colonial history. ^ As with many 
Georgia institutions, the bulk of its early endowment was rendered valueless by the 
Civil War. New endowment was slow in coming, and even now does not produce 
enough income to meet ongoing expenses. Nevertheless, a series of librarians has 
built and maintained an extensive library of books about the state and an equally 
extensive collection of Georgia manuscripts, the very materials from which even 
more books about the state will be compiled. 

With severely limited funds for the acquisition of books and with its primary 
interest the history of Georgia, there was little reason for the Society to place 
special emphasis in its library on Confederate materials. The Confederate Memorial 
and Literary Society had been founded to collect the wartime history of the whole 
South and early established its museum and library in Richmond. Who would 
preserve Georgia history if not the Georgia Historical Society? That function was 
the Society's natural specialization. 

Not that there was any lack of enthusiasm in Savannah for the Confederacy. 
Enthusiasm was there from the beginning, from the hoisting of the Liberty Flag in 
1860. And from the end of the Confederacy itself there was, and still is, enthusiasm 
for Confederate history. 

Long before Gone With the Wind sparked renewed interest in the Georgia of the 
Confederacy, even longer before the approach of the Civil War centennial made 
collecting everything and anything Confederate fashionable. Savannah was the 
home of four of the all-time leading collectors of Confederate imprints. Perhaps 
because these prominent Savannahians collected Confederate imprints for 
themselves, fewer than might otherwise have been the case found their way to 
Hodgson Hall. 

The first of these collectors was Charles Colcock Jones, Jr., ardent secessionist, 
first wartime mayor of Savannah, Confederate officer, and distinguished historian 
of Georgia. Jones collected Georgia and Confederate history, not imprints per sc: 
but he collected original materials whenever possible, and his library was rich in 
Confederate publications. The bulk of his Confederate collection, including its 
major pieces, now forms part of the George Washington Flowers Memorial 
Collection of the Duke University Library. Some items fiom his library are at the 
University of Georgia, and occasional single items have strayed into other libraries. 
Jones was an omnivorous collector. He collected manuscripts as well as books, 
putting together two fine sets of autograph letters of the Signers of the Declaration 
of Independence. (One set of these is now in the New York State Library at 
Albany.) He collected a similar set of manuscripts of the members of the 
Convention which established the Confederate States of America at Montgomery in 
1861 . It is now at Duke. 

Mr. and Mrs. George Wymberley Jones Do Renne were both collectors, he of 
everything Georgian, she of those things Confederate. Their interests obviously 
overlapped. His collection (recorded in a splendid three-volume catalog privately 



published)^ is now at the University of Georgia where its Confederate imprints are 
supplemented by those in the fine collection given the University a decade ago by 
Felix Hargrett, another Georgian and eminent book collector, increased by the 
assiduous purchasing of Confederate materials by W. Porter Kellam, former 
Librarian of the University, Georgia's collection vies with those of the Boston 
Athenaeum, Duke, and the Library of Congress for numerical leadership in this 
field of collecting. 

Mrs. De Renne's Confederate collection was given to the Confederate Museum in 
Richmond. Its Confederate imprints form a substantial part of the Museum's 
extensive collection of Confederate publications. The revered Douglas Southall 
Freeman wrote of them in 1908 in his "Bibliography of Some Confederate 
Publications in the Confederate Museum": "The books and pamphlets gathered by 
Mrs. Mary De Renne of Savannah, and known as the De Renne Collection, are the 
most valuable of the Library. At a time when Confederate publications were much 
more numerous and more easily acquired than at present, Mrs. De Renne, with rare 
judgement, gathered a collection of Confederate publications second to none in the 
country ."3 

The fourth of the Confederate collections formed by Savannahians is that of 
Keith M. Read, neighbor and collecting rival of the De Rennes. The Read collection 
was purchased by the Emory University Library in 1939 and established in that 
library a major collection of Confederate imprints which has fortunately been 
systematically augmented. 

The collecting of Confederate publications was a major interest of the major 
book collectors of Savannah. Book collecting is not the quiet, friendly occupation 
it might seem to the uninitiated. It spawns rivalries and can sunder friendships. 
Bibliomania is, as an extensive literature attests, a virulent disease, and usually 
incurable. Major libraries of the South and the world of scholarship have benefited 
by the energies of Savannah's collectors, but the Georgia Historical Society is 
undoubtedly the poorer for these interests of the citizens of its home city though 
they were interests of the very kind the Society seeks to engender in all Georgians. 

In comparison with the major collections of Confederate imprints, those at the 
Boston Athenaeum, Yale, the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, 
the University of Virginia, the Confederate Museum, the Virginia Historical Society, 
the Virginia State Library, Duke, the University of North Carolina, Emory, the 
University of Georgia, Rice, the University of Texas, the University of Illinois, and 
the Henry E. Huntington Library, the collection of the Georgia Historical Society is 
not large. It is however, a worthwhile collection and merits interest for its group of 
otherwise uncollected items. 

A large proportion of the Confederate imprints at Hodgson Hall came to it in 
1952 when efforts of Mrs. Lilla Hawes secured for the Historical Society a set of 
the so-called "captured documents" then being distributed as duplicates by the 
Library of Congress. These official publications of the Confederate government had 
been removed from the Capitol in Richmond at the end of the Civil War and, 
stamped "Rebel Archives," had, until their transfer to the Library of Congress, 
remained in the Records Division of the War Department. The set received by the 
Historical Society was one of the last sent out of Washington and is less full in its 
holdings than sets earlier distributed. Even so, it includes approximately 345 
separate publications of various branches of the Confederate government. 

The rest of the collection is a miscellany of publications of the state of Georgia 
and of the unofficial books, pamphlets, sheet music, broadsides, and church 
publications that make up the publishing record of the Confederacy. It is 
distressingly weak where it should be strong - in the publications that originated in 

6 



Savannah; but tliere are items in the collection that deserve the envy of any private 
collector and many institutional collectors. 

The Historical Society's copy of Uniform and Dress of the Army of the 
Confederate States (Richmond: 1861), with its quaintly attractive black-and-white 
plates, is that which belonged to General A. R. Lawton, a Savannahian who was an 
outstanding Confederate administrator as Quartermaster General, later President of 
the Society 1907 - 1914. A rare naval item (the only other known copy being at the 
Library of Congress) is Horace M. Heiskell's Pay Table for the Use of Paymasters 
and Others of the United States Navy (Columbia; 1864). It and other naval pieces, 
including one presumed to be unique, came to the Society with a portion of the 
wartime papers of Charles Lucian Jones. Jones was an Assistant Paymaster in the 
Confederate Navy. He served as such with the Savannah Squadron in 1863 till he 
was transferred April 13, 1863, to serve aboard the honchd Savannah as secretary 
to the Commander in Chief of the Naval Forces Afloat in Savannah Waters. Two 
items concerning slavery and the Negro are of considerable rarity and importance, 
J.D.B. DeBow's Tlie Interest in Slavery of the Southern Non-Slaveholder 
(Charleston: 1860) and Joseph R. Wilson's Mutual Relations of Masters and Slaves 
As Taught in the Bible (Augusta; 1861). There is a copy of the Richmond 1863 
edition of South Carolinian Francis Peyre Porcher's Resources of the Southern 
Fields and forests. Medical, Economical, and Agricultural, a comprehensive study 
in the great tradition of Catesby, Bartram and Elliott. Porcher's work proved 
immediately useful in the wartime South by denominating substitutes for many 
items unobtainable because of the Federal blockade; quinine and coffee, for 
examples. 

In the bibliographies of Confederate imprints a great many items, some of 
exceptional interest, show in the record only as numbers of General Orders or titles 
too brief to indicate their importance. For example, Crandall* 685 is a broadside 
address by Gen. W. J. Hardee listed under Confederate States of America. Army of 
Tennessee and the title "To the soldiers of the Army of Tennessee!" Crandall lists 
only a copy of this at the Huntington Library. It is one of a pair of military 
publications which must be read together to realize their importance. Its 
companion piece, apparently held only by the Society '^cneral Orders No. 214 
of the Army of Tennessee, dated at Dalton, Decembci , i863. This broadside is 
the farewell to his troops of Gen. Braxton Bragg who had received orders to 
transfer command of the Army of Tennessee to jeneral Hardee. 

Bragg wrote in part: 

The announcement of this separation is made with unfeigned 
regret. The associations of more than two years which bind together a 
Commander and his trusted troops, cannot be severed without deep 
emotion. A common cause and dangers shared on the many hard-fought 
fields from Pensacola to Chickamauga have cemented bonds which time 
even can never impair. 

The circumstances which render this step proper will be appreciated, 
however, by every good soldier and true patriot, and the last appeal the 
General has to make to the gallant army which has so long and so nobly 
sustained him, is to give his successor that cordial and generous support 
so essential to the success of our arms. In that successor you have a 
veteran whose brilliant reputation you have aided to achieve. He cannot 
fail, if properly sustained, to fill the measure of our country's 
expectations. 5 



The new commander, wlio a year later would be defending Savannah, four 
hundred miles to the southeast, greeted his troops with the optimism expected on 
such an occasion. Hardee declared: 

I desire to say, in assuming command, that there is no cause for 
discouragement. The overwhelming numbers of the enemy forced us 
back from Missionary Ridge, but the army is still intact and in good 
heart. Our losses were small and will be rapidly replaced. The country is 
looking to you with painful interest. I feel that it can rely upon you. 
Only the weak and timid need to be cheered by constant success. The 
veterans of Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro and Chickamauga require 
no such stimulus to sustain their courage and resolution. Let the past 
take care of itself, we can and must secure the future. 6 

Another unique item from Tennessee is a broadside of 1862 issued by Col. M.A. 
Stovall at Greeneville. It warns against the ill treatment of East Tennesseeans 
formerly Unionists who have taken the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States. 

Except for three titles, one looks in vain for Confederate belles-lettres at 
Hodgson Hall; but the three titles there are of high quality. One is Nathaniel 
Beverley Tucker's 77/*? Partisan />ea<ier (Richmond: 1862), a novel prophetic of civil 
war which had first been published in Washington in 1836 (surreptitiously and with 
the fictitious imprint date of 1856). When the Civil War did come about Tucker's 
book was republished in New York as well as in Richmond. There is a copy (one of 
only two known) of Joseph Hodgson's The Confederate Vivandiere (Montgomery: 
1862). And of particular importance as a Georgia book, there is a fine, untrimmed 
copy of Richard Malcolm Johnston's Georgia Sketches ([Augusta:] 1864), an early 
rendition of his Dukesborough Tales. 

The representation of the popular works reprinted from English and European 
publications is comparatively strong: copies oi Aurora Floyd (Richmond: 1863), 
Darrell Markham; or, The Captain of the Vulture (Richmond: 1863), and Lady 
Audley 's Secret! (Mobile: 1864) by the prolific and enormously popular Mrs. Mary 
Elizabeth Braddon Maxwell; Wilkie Collins' M; A^ame (Richmond: 1863), Charles 
Dickens' Great Expectations (Mobile: 1863), The Romance of a Poor Young Man 
(Richmond: 1863) by Octave Feuillet, four of the five parts of Victor Hugo's Les 
Miserables (Richmond: 1863-64), one of two volumes of Louisa Muhlbach's (i.e. 
Klara Mundt's) Henr}' VIII and His Court; or, Catharine Parr f Mobile: 1865) and a 
complete set of her four-volume Joseph II and His Court (Mobile: 1864), Wilham 
Makepeace Thackeray's The Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World 
(Columbia: 1864), and Mrs. Ellen Price Wood's East Lynne. (Richmond: 1864). 

There are more than sixty examples of Confederate sheet music, many of them 
in editions by John C. Schreiner & Son, publishers with offices in Macon and 
Savannah. The A. E. Blackmar company of New Orleans (later of Augusta and New 
Orleans) is also well represented. There are copies of "Lorena," the song that named 
a generation of Southern girls, of "When This Cruel War Is Over," Hermann L. 
Schreiner's "Do They Think of Me at Home?" dedicated to Mrs. Norah C. Sneed of 
Savannah, and of the familiar tribute to the mulatto "Yellow Rose of Texas." But 
there is no copy in this collection of the most Georgian of all songs, "Somebody's 
Darling," words by Miss Marie La Coste of Savannah, music by John Hill Hewitt 
(then living in Augusta), dedicated to Miss Mary Davis of Augusta, printed by J.F. 
Weeks in Macon on paper manufactured at Athens, and published jointly by John 
C. Schreiner & Son of Macon and Savannah and Schreiner & Hewitt of 

8 



Augusta.^ Nor is there a copy of "My Wife and Child" (Richmond and Columbia: 
1863). Falsely attributed to "Stonewall" Jackson, the words of this song were 
written by Henry Rootes Jackson, President of the Society 1874-1899. Quondam 
Savannahian John Hill Hewitt is represented by his "Freedom's Muster-Drum", "I 
Will Meet Thee", "Oh! Come to Me, Love, in a Beautiful Dream", "Rock Me to 
Sleep, Mother" (three editions), "The Stonewall Quickstep", "When Upon the 
Field of Glory", and "You Are Going to the Wars, Willie Boy!" But Hewitt was the 
most prolific of Confederate composers. Even this representation is smaller than 
should be available in Savannah. (Hewitt's papers, along with a broader selection of 
his published sheet music, are in the Emory University Library.) At Hodgson Hall 
are copies of songs honoring Generals Beauregard, Jackson, and Lee, but no"Genl 
Longstreet's Grand March" nor - honoring Savannah's own Gen. Hugh W. Mercer 
- "Gen. Mercer's Grand March!" 

So is it down the line, through the long list of Confederate publications. The 
Historical Society can be justly proud of the collection of Confederate imprints it 
has, but is must eternally regret those that got away. Fortunately, two major 
collections of these materials are in the state, at Emory and at the University of 
Georgia. 

The Society can indeed treasure the Confederate publications it owns, especially 
that small bank of items not recorded elsewhere. It is a paradox that Confederate 
imprints seem to be less rare as the record of them grows. Dr. Freeman's 1908 
selective list was the first general bibliography of Confederate imprints. Nearly a 
decade later it was foDowed by the much more extensive Confederate Literature 
(Boston: 1917), a record of the collection of the Boston Athenaeum by Charles N. 
Baxter and James M. Dearborn. ^ This volume was supplemented in a 1929 article 
in The Papers of the BibUographical Society of America by Willard O. Waters of the 
staff of the Henry E. Huntington Library. ^ Waters listed 412 items at the 
Huntington which had not been recorded in "Baxter and Dearborn," to use the 
book dealers' reference. Shortly after World War II the Athenaeum's collection of 
Confederate imprints was virtually doubled by the addition to it of those collected 
by Judge Raymond S. Wilkins. Walter Muir Whitehill, the amiable literary and 
historiographical impresario who then presided over the Athenaeum as its Director 
and Librarian, decided that Confederate Literature neeH  I updating, and in away 
that would reflect the total output of Confederate j acations, not just the 
holdings, however extensive, of the Athenaeum itself. Ihe late Marjorie Lyle 
Crandall, with the editorial collaboration of Richard Harwell, and the participatory 
collaboration of scores of libraries put together for pubhcation in 1955 Confederate 
Imprints. Exclusive of listings for newspapers and periodicals, its two volumes 
record 5121 items. 

Bibliographies beget bibliographies. Recording the rare calls out more rare to be 
recorded. Confederate Imprints was followed a scart two years later with Harwell's 
More Confederate Imprints}^ this supplement, itself in two volumes, adding 1773 
items to the list of Confederate publications. The record had grown from the few 
score described by Freeman to nearly seven thousand. 

New discoveries of Confederate imprints since 1957 only emphasize that the 
bibliographer's is an imperfect art. In 1964 Harwell listed 102 new items that had 
come to the University of Georgia Libraries (chiefly in the gift of Felix 
Hargrett).^^ Winston Broadfoot added a record of 317 previously unrecorded 
items at the Duke University Library in 1966.^2 The collections in other libraries 
were described and newly discovered publications noted. All the while the 
established collections continued to grow  and continue to grow. Harwell and 



Peter Haack, Assistant Librarian of the Boston Athenaeum, are once more engaged 
in revising and amphfying the record. The paradox is that there is so much to 
record that Confederate imprints miglit seem to have lost their rarity. Confederate 
imprints as a group are less rare; but, as a group, the hst of Confederate imprints is a 
list of many, many more rarities. 

Such rarest of the rare - items known in only one copy each - are items at 
Hodgson Hall which can now be added to the record. Many of these are 
comparatively trivial military pieces, but it is sometimes a seemingly trivial item 
that is the missing link of a historian's search. The slight Table of Hospital 
Knapsack and Haversack for Field Services (n.p., n.d.j lists information not found 
elsewhere. General Magruder's unnumbered general order of 4 July 1862 adds to 
knowledge of him and of the battles before Richmond and also records his farewell 
to his troops in Virginia. Three general orders, one special order, and three circulars 
add to the detailed record of the defense of Georgia. Four of these items were 
promulgated for Gen. Hugh W. Mercer by Capt. and A. A. G. George A. Mercer, 
President of the Society 1900-1907. 

Among unofficial publications are several times of particular interest: a long 
poem "Greek Fire; or. The Siege of Charleston" by Eustanzia, the primitive verse of 
James Hellier noted as "Songs Dedicated to the 26th La., Regiment," and Carrie Bell 
Sinclair's "The Soldier's Suit of Grey." Miss Sinclair's poem was also published with 
music by E. Clark Ilsley by Blackmar & Bro. in Augusta (copies at Emory and 
Georgia but not at the Historical Society). The Society does hold James Pierpont's 
musical setting of her Strike for the South (Macon: John C. Schreiner & Son, c. 
1863). 

Notable among the general broadsides is an elaborately reasoned proposal 
Annexation of the North West ([Savannah, 186-?]) calling for the admission the 
the Confederacy of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. There are two previously 
unrecorded pieces of sheet music, a different edition of "Some One To Love." And 
tucked away in this conglomeration is a previously unrecorded publication by the 
Rev. Francis R. Goulding, author of The Young Marooners. It is not another boys' 
book, however, but a Hospital Tract published in Macon by the Georgia Baptist 
Bible and Colportage Society.
