Exceptionally rare and large Christopher Haun East Tennessee ring bottle, copper oxide and lead glazed earthenware with elaborate tread stamp designs and coggled band around outer circumference consisting of hexagonal and diamond star geometric designs and letters, “HAUN” (Christopher Alexander Haun, Greene Co., TN, 1821-1861). Christopher Haun was a Union sympathizer during the Civil War and participated in burning a Confederate railroad bridge (Lick Creek) in Greene County, TN. This important event in East Tennessee Civil War history was initiated with a campaign by Union loyalists to burn 9 bridges. It was led by William B. Carter and strongly supported and encouraged by President Abraham Lincoln. Several potters from the Pottertown, TN area were among the men who conspired and succeeded in burning the bridge. The potters decided not to capture or kill the Confederate bridge guards but allowed them to go free based upon their solemn promises to not reveal their identities. Union troops did not materialize as promised, and the Confederates were able to pursue and capture some of the perpetrators. The Confederate guards, who were allowed to live, were the very ones who served as witnesses to implicate the five men who were hung, four of them potters. Among those sentenced to death was the potter Christopher Alexander Haun. On December 11th, 1861, Haun was hung from the gallows in Knoxville, TN. Provenance – descended through the John Houston Cox family of Lenoir City, TN (b. 1863 – 1949). Diameter 10″, total length including spout, 10 3/4″. (Research courtesy of Carole Wahler).

Haun ring bottle example extant, and is the earliest Tennessee ring bottle example by a known maker. Condition: Overall excellent condition. Condition: Overall excellent condition.

Confederate 8th Tennessee Civil War letter archive relating to the 8th Tennessee Infantry, primarily Private Brown Grier Parkinson, Jr. (1831-1863). This archive includes 13 letters written from Brown Grier Parkinson during 1862-63, three (3) letters written by Sergeant Lucius Junius Eliphas Bearden during 1861-62, and two letters by Letitia Parkinson to her husband, Brown during 1863. Total of 18 War period letters. Also relating to Brown Parkinson are his Confederate discharge paper by reason of Surgeon's certificate of disability and by command of General Bragg. Signed by a Lieutenant Bright and approved and signed by John H. Anderson, Col. 8th Regt Tenn Vols. Also included is "The Christian Minister's Affectionate Advice to a Married Couple" book with a page certifying the marriage of Brown Parkinson and Culpurnia Bearden on May 3rd, 1855. The book includes pencil inscription inside cover: "Brown Parkinson departed this life July 10th 1863 – Oh now he is dead – And youth once so gay was cut down – Like a rose in full bloom and he silently sleeps – And I am thus left to me…oh his day they were numbered so soon." Brown Parkinson was born 1831 in Lincoln County and married Letitia Carolina Calpernia Bearden, daughter of Alfred M. Bearden Sr., on May 3, 1855; they had four sons. Parkinson joined the 8th Tennessee in the fall of 1862. Calpurnia's brothers, Lucius Junius Eliphas Bearden and Captain Nepoleon Monroe Bearden (called Monroe, b.1837-d.1863) also fought with the 8th; Lucius survived; Monroe died from wounds received at the Battle of Stones River in 1863. Captain Monroe Bearden's sword was recovered and is on display at the University of the South, Sewanee, TN. Monroe is mentioned by Parkinson in a few of his letters. One of the most poignant letters in the group is dated Jan. 6th, 1863 from Brown Parkinson – It opens discussing the improving health of his brother-in-law Monroe and the possibility of being moved to the hospital (Monroe dies on January 22nd). Brown continues, "John Saturfield I do not think will live till morning and William Simmons is mighty bad. Ili Simmons is dead, one Travise Griffin is dead and Milton Biers and Jef Grubs and Beck them has all dead since they come to the hospital and there was Alfred Walker and Grand Weilher and Henry Wirmaed and Doc Andrews and Will McClusky killed dead on the field. It is not worth trying to name all that was wounded because our Company was very near all wounded and killed we never have heard yet have many was left of our Company…I will try to tell all I know of the boys that was wounded and where – Monrre in the right thigh, Tim McFevar in the thigh but not bad.." Brown goes on to list injuries of the more serious kind, "Milton Breirs in the breast, Jef Grubs in the breast John Saturfield in the leg and has had it cut off James Henderson in the leg and has had it cut off William Dunn in the arm and has had it cut off", and continues listing several others and their injuries. (Note: the 8th Tennessee started with 425 soldiers and experienced 306 casualties. Their commander was Brig. Gen. Daniel S. Donelson). An earlier letter dated Jan. 3, 1863 from his wife to Brown, states how it was good that Brown "wait on our dear brother who is so badly wounded and to think you are not on the field with the company. I would rather you was in the hospital all the time…" She goes on, "Brown you made such a narrow escape Tim Downing told me you had two bullet holes in your pants he told me you had lost all your clothes.."†An earlier 1862 letter from Dec 27, 1862, Brown Parkinson writes his wife, ìthere was heavy cannoning ñ they fired about five a minute they fired sixteen for a while we could hear the musketry last night after the canon started..î He later states, ìheard this morning that we had tore one division of the Yankees all to pieces but we do not anything about the truth of itÖif we have to go and have fight and I get killed I thank I am prepared and if we never should meet in this world again, I hope we will meet in the one to comeÖî He speaks of contemplating the sale of his coat and other clothingÖHe also mentions a man was hung yesterday and one shot in sight of his tent. Another undated 1862 letter starts by stating he has not been well, having diarrhea for three days and speaks of taking medicine and expects to get well. He goes on to say they are "still at Murfreesboro and no more talk of a fight now". He continues, "this Cavalry has been fighting mainly every day since we come here – old Morgan took twenty one Yankees last week and brought them into Murfreesboro and parolled them and they went on back toward Nashville. He went out to the Pike to see the prisoners and stated, " there was some fine looking men as ever I saw.." He then goes on to say there supplies of food are fine now but they did have shortages earlier. One of his later dated letters in the archive – May 20th, 1863 – Reverse side of letter ñ Brown writes his wife and says he is doing better but ìmy breast hurts when I coughî. He goes on to say ìI have not done anything since I came up here. I never have even answered Roll Call..we had orders to move this morning nearer the division.î He goes on to write, ìThe Colonel told me this morning he would send me to guard a house and let me stay there a week or so.î A follow-up letter on May 25th, 1863 – Brown begins the letter stating he is not getting any better, ìmy breast hurts me all the time. The doctor talked like sending me off to a hospital.î He asked if his wife or her father can come to see him. Another letter in the archive from Sergeant L.J.E.

Charge of the 24th and 25th Colored Infantry and Rescue of Rough Riders at San Juan Hill, July 2nd, 1898, Kurz & Allison Chromolithograph, 1899. 19-1/2" x 28" sight. Depicts one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the Spanish American War. Then-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's actions during the battle earned him a recommendation for a Congressional Medal of Honor (denied but awarded posthumously in 2001) and helped to propel him to the governorship of New York. According to an article by Anthony Powell on the Spanish American War Centennial Website, 25 African American soldiers were awarded the Certificate of Merit for their actions on San Juan Hill, and one Rough Rider corporal stated "if it hadn't been for the black calvary, the Rough Riders would have been exterminated." Publishers Kurz and Allison were best known for their circa 1880s chromolithographs battle scenes (including retrospective Civil War battles), intended more to inspire emotion than provide historical accuracy. However, several Kurz and Allison prints broke new ground by prominently depicting the role of African American soldiers in American military operations.
