Estimate; $200 - 300.
The Battle of New Bern was fought on March 14, 1862, near the city of New Bern, North Carolina, as part of the Burnside Expedition of the American Civil War. The US Army's Coast Division, led by Brigadier General Ambrose Burnside and accompanied by armed vessels from the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, were opposed by an undermanned and badly trained Confederate force of North Carolina soldiers and militia led by Brigadier General Lawrence O'B. Branch. Although the defenders fought behind breastworks that had been set up before the battle, their line had a weak spot in its center that was exploited by the attacking Federal soldiers. When the center of the line was penetrated, many of the militia broke, forcing a general retreat of the entire Confederate force. General Branch was unable to regain control of his troops until they had retreated to Kinston, more than 30 miles (about 50 km) away. New Bern came under Federal control, and remained so for the rest of the war. US$200-300 (Image)

David McConaughy (1823-1902) was a noted attorney, state senator, cemetery president, and civic leader in Gettysburg Pa. and a part-time intelligence officer for the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was a driving force behind the creation of the Gettysburg National Cemetery following the Battle of Gettysburg.
On May 18, 1864, there appeared in two New York City newspapers what purported to be an official proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln; it called for a levy of 400,000 more men and appointed May 26th as a fay of fasting, humility and prayer. This article was a fraud apparently wired in on the lines of this company and caused great panic. All the officers and managers were placed under military arrest and the line was shut down for several days until the culprit was caught. US$100-150 (Image)
