John Reed Under the Kremlin

19221171601922. First Edition. Signed. DARROW Clarence STEFFENS Lincoln. John Reed Under the Kremlin. Chicago: Walden Book Shop 1922. Slim octavo cord-bound as issued original brown paper wrappers uncut; pp. 16. $2500.First edition of this eulogy to American Community Party co-founder and pro-Soviet journalist John Reed one of only 235 copies printed on Whatman handmade paper by Will Ransom at his private press signed on the title page by author Lincoln Steffens as well as by the author of the introduction famous attorney Clarence Darrow.""Just as the leaders of the first republic of letters starting with Leibniz had begun their idyll with the old new Russia by direct contact with its founder so their latter-day successors began their romance with the new new Russia at the dawn of Red October. Thus was born the category of what Trotsky soon baptized 'fellow travelers.' The journalist John Reed harvard class of 1910 alienated from the American democracy of J.P. Morgan arrived in Petrograd in October 1918 just in time to witness its 'ten days that shook the world' and to record them as seen through the eyes of Lenin and Trotsky"" Malia Russia Under Western Eyes 340. Expelled from the Socialist Party upon his return Reed co-founded the Communist Labor Party. Reed was swiftly indicted for sedition and fled back to Russia where he died a year later of typhus. His ashes hold a privileged place in a wall of the Kremlin beside the urn of Stalin. ""In 1919 a muck-raking journalist and enemy of corporate corruption and machine politics Lincoln Steffens visited Russia to report on the results of October. On his return to the West he declared in a remark soon heard round the world 'I have been to the future and it works.' To develop this point in 1920 he wrote John Reed Under the Kremlin published by the Walden Book Shop with an introduction by controversial American litigator Clarence Darrow. Thus Bolshevism was wedded to the tradition of American radicalism and the heritage of Alexander I's old admirer Thomas Jefferson"" Malia 340. Fine condition. unknown

Jefferson City Missouri Jan. 10 1868. To the Late Officers of the 62d Reg't U.S.C.I.

1868377927Jefferson City MO 1868. 2pp. printed recto and verso on a single quarto sheet. Old folds. 2pp. printed recto and verso on a single quarto sheet. Unrecorded handbill issued as a circular letter to the former Civil War officers of the 62nd U.S. Colored Infantry giving updates on each of their lives since the close of the war with some information on the founding of HBCU Lincoln University. Founded in 1866 the school had come about through the initiative of veterans of the 62nd and 65th United States Colored Infantries many of whom having learned to read and write while in the army recognized the importance of creating educational opportunities for newly emancipated African Americans after the war. Founding secretary of the Lincoln Institute Richard Baxter Foster 1826-1901 who has signed this circular in print was a White abolitionist and former first lieutenant in the 62nd Infantry who would go on to serve as the Institute's first principal as well as its only instructor for the first two years. Foster notes under his own update that he was teaching at the Lincoln Institute: "The school still flourishes as well as possible with its present poor accomodations. I think we chall build a school house next season. We have invested a part of our funds in 365 acres of land mostly timbered three miles south from Jefferson City . Sergeant Major Jefferys is still attending my school. He taught three months in the summer. Many other soldiers of different regiments are in the school." Formerly enslaved John O. Jefferys d. 1922 was the highest ranking non-commissioned African American in the 62nd U.S.C.I. One of approximately 35 copies printed assuming that copies were printed for the 35 named officers in the circular and not many more. unknown

HBCU Lincoln University & Segregated Swimming Pool Photo Album Partially Identified Pennsylvania 1950s

1950230141950. Social and athletic life of partially identified Black male college students at one of the oldest historically black universities Lincoln University Pennsylvania. Founded in 1854 in Pennsylvania Lincoln University became an important center for Black intellectual development producing generations of educators clergy political leaders and professionals during the era of segregation in American higher education. Album includes 48 black and white photographs bound in wooden covers titled "Snap Shots" in black script featuring a painted Western rider motif. Images mounted with paper photo corners. Photos measure between 2.5" x 2.5" to 4" x 5" and album measures 7" x 10". The photographs depict identified and partly identified African American students many labeled in ink with first names and some with last names such as "Negail Riley" and others along with a group of men repeatedly identified with the surname "City" possibly brothers. The most compelling images show some of these young men at an all Black swimming pool performing different jumps and dives as well as posing in front of the pool one image shows a muscular Black man playfully lifting up a Black woman to show off his strength. Other photos capture young Black men in a formative moment of collegiate life at Lincoln University one of the nation's oldest Historically Black Colleges and Universities founded in 1854 in Pennsylvania and long associated with the cultivation of Black intellectual political and athletic leadership. One inscription reads "Lincoln Campus -- in front of our pad" situating the images within the institutional landscape of the university. The men are shown in tailored double-breasted suits striped jackets graduation caps and gowns and football uniforms embodying the aspirational respectability and achievement culture central to mid-century Black collegiate identity. The prominence of the pool area is especially significant given the history of racial segregation at public pools in the United States through the mid-20th century when many municipal pools excluded Black swimmers or limited access to segregated hours. Whether campus-based or segregated public facilities these images of confident Black male bodies in aquatic space counter a long history of exclusion and danger surrounding water access for African Americans. They visually assert physical freedom camaraderie and athletic excellence in an era when Black bodily presence in such spaces was politically charged. The photographs are mounted cleanly with occasional minor corner wear to the prints and album pages. Some surface scuffing and light age toning are present and album covers remain in tact. Overall very good condition. As a cohesive visual record of Black collegiate masculinity athletic culture and social networks at an HBCU during the segregation era this album offers a rare and intimate perspective on student life achievement and leisure within one of the nation's foundational Black institutions. unknown

Small octavo 4-3/4 by 7-1/4 inches later 19th-Century three-quarter brown calf and marbled boards; pp. i-ii 1-5 6-158 2. $2200.First edition of the crucial record of the controversial 1838 trials of over 20 defendants documenting the deadly mob attack on Reverend Lovejoy and his press a work that swiftly provoked Northern fears that free speech required ""not only protection against governmental suppression but also protection against private violence aimed at silencing speakers.""The deadly 1837 mob riot that killed the abolitionist publisher and minister Elijah Lovejoy and destroyed his printing press had swift national impact. It proved to be ""a climactic event in the larger struggle for free speech"": one that raised fundamental questions on the ""private suppression of speech and the nature and future of republican government."" It also triggered ""an emerging view that free speech and press were rights or 'privileges' and 'immunities' to which all American citizens were entitled everywhere in the U.S."" The murderous riot demonstrated that free speech required ""not only protection against governmental suppression but also protection against private violence aimed at silencing speakers"" Curtis Free Speech 217-18.Prior to his death Reverend Lovejoy had seen mobs twice destroy his presses in Alton Illinois but despite no support from the state legislature or local officials he persisted. On November 7 1837 the warehouse where his new press was held was set on fire and he was murdered. In January 1838 eleven of Lovejoy's supporters and Gilman owner of the warehouse were indicted for attempting to protect Lovejoy and defend his pressa prosecution that outraged many in the North. At the same time eleven of the rioters ""only a small fraction of those who attacked the warehouse"" were also indicted Finkelman Slavery 148 The January trial of Gilman and his co-defendants is documented in the nearly 80 first pages of this very elusive first edition followed by coverage of the same month's trial of the eleven mob participants. Both trial records contain indictments arguments of counsel and witness testimony. While all in both trials were acquitted anger remained that defenders of Lovejoy and his press were indicted at all. The trials ""crystallized the fear that slavery would destroy free speech and civil liberty Lovejoy's death was part of a great transformation"" in a movement that recognized ""states and cities had acted against free speech simply by not acting by failing to provide protection free speech then required protection to be a meaningful right"" Curtis 227 239-400. To scholar Paul Finkelman ""the history of speech and anti-slavery is critical for our understanding of how opposition to free speech works"" Speech Press and Democracy 818.
