Hardcover autograph album, 5.75 x 9, signed in fountain pen by Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, four vice presidents, and over 200 members of the 37th Congress during the first two years of the Civil War. The first seven pages are signed: “Washington, D.C.,January 28, 1862, Yours truly, A. Lincoln” [most probably at a reception that evening at the White House hosted by the President and First Lady], “June 10. 1862, H. Hamlin, Bangor, Maine” [as Vice President], “William H. Seward / Auburn” [as Secretary of State], “S P Chase, Dec. 4, 1861” [as Secretary of the Treasury] and on the reverse “Edw. Bates of St. Louis Mo” [as Attorney General], “Simon Cameron, Dec 11, 1861” [as Secretary of War], “Gideon Welles, 11 Decr, 1861” [as Secretary of the Navy], and “Caleb B Smith, Dec 12, 1861” [as Secretary of the Interior]. The remaining pages are signed, three to five per page, blank on the reverse, by 210 members of Congress including future President “Andrew Johnson of Tennessee,” future Vice Presidents Schuyler Colfax, Henry Wilson, and William A. Wheeler, and many statesmen and cabinet members including Charles Sumner, John Sherman, David Wilmot, Galusha Grow, William P. Fessenden, John P. Hale, B. F. Wade, George H. Pendleton, John J. Crittenden, Lot Morrill, L.F.S. Foster, James Harlan, Lyman Trumbull, Zachariah Chandler, James A. Bayard, Timothy Howe, Thaddeus Stevens, and Clement L. Vallandigham. Front cover is detached from binding, half of torn spine is missing, but the pages sound and in otherwise fine condition. Signed while the flames of the Civil War were being fanned by the Confederacy, an epic battle that ended with perseverance of the Union and the end of slavery.
