1827 CIVIL WAR PROVENANCE General Wilson Geographical World View Superstition

“A Geographical View of the World” is a rather unknown mid-19th-century geography textbook. Written by author Sir Richard Phillips under the pseudonym of “Rev. J. Goldsmith”, this book gives broad details on various people groups from all over the world – providing details on superstitions, religious ceremonies, hunting practices, climates, and even notable animals in each region.

This book was owned by the topographic engineer, Major General James H. Wilson of the United States Union Army during the US Civil War. It was Wilson’s cavalry unit who captured Confederate president Jefferson Davis near the end of the Civil War.

Provenance:

Bookplate – A.R. Carothers

Pvt. A.R Carothers was a Confederate soldier in the US Civil war who served with the 3rd (Butler’s) Kentucky Cavalry.

Handwritten – J.H. Wilson

James Harrison Wilson (1837 – 1925) was a United States Army topographic engineer and a Union Army Major General in the American Civil War. He served as an aide to Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan during the Maryland Campaign before joining Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's army in the Western Theater, where he was promoted to brigadier general.

In 1864, he transferred from engineering to the cavalry, where he displayed notable leadership in many engagements of the Overland Campaign, though his attempt to destroy Lee’s supply lines failed when he was routed by a much smaller force of Confederate irregulars.

He was promoted to brevet major general in the regular army for his performance at Selma and received his full promotion to major general on May 6, 1865. In central Georgia, the cavalrymen under Wilson's command captured Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and Captain Henry Wirz, the commandant of Andersonville, as he fled through Georgia in May 1865. Wilson's administration of post-war Georgia was regarded, in some cases, as enlightened.
