First edition 2nd printing of this famed posthumously published semi-autobiographical memoir prepared and edited by Stein from Garcia’s original writings famously kept secure in dynamite boxes. Garcia 1855-1943 famously was a Mountain Man who set up a trading company centered on the Musselshell River and spent nine years of that life living with the Pend d’Oreille Indigenous Peoples who married three different Native American women beginning with In-who-lise his Nez Perce wife who was surviving witness of the Battle of Big Hole. Later David Stein the son of Ben Stein had access to the tightly held original manuscript and Diane Smith also granted access both interpreted the treatment by Garcia of his Native American wives and his intent to preserve their memories. Controversy over the editing process just how much of the memoir actually took place and factual elements persist but the work is still a compelling read.

80030A series of photographs showing the treatment of a patient suffering from smallpox at a “pest house†in Livingston Montana. These isolation facilities often located near graveyards or at the edge of communities could be found in many towns at the turn of the last century to house people with communicable diseases.<br /> <br /> Over thousands of years smallpox killed hundreds of millions of people making it known as one of the deadliest diseases known to humans. It is also one of the only human diseases to have been eradicated declared so in 1980 a significant achievement realized through childhood immunization programs and targeted surveillance and containment strategies. Smallpox was deadly and gruesome. Symptoms included high fever vomiting and mouth sores followed by fluid-filled lesions on the whole body. Death would come suddenly often within two weeks and survivors could be left with permanent scars such as blindness and infertility.<br /> <br /> This series of four cabinet cards dating from the early 1900s show a patient covered in lesions. According to a caption written on the verso one image includes Dr. William F. Cogswell 1868-1956 who served with the Montana State Board of Health from 1912 to 1946 and was a strong advocate for mandatory smallpox vaccination. <br /> <br /> The images are in very good condition. unknown

A long gossipy letter packed with family news concluding: 'Ezra Pound is to be brot sic to U.S.A. to stand trial for treason for just why I cannot tell you. He is supposed to have talked over the Rome Radio against the U.S.A. I think that he made the same remarks that Hoover and other Republican leaders made against the new deal and after that country of Italy joined with Germany those remarks weren't free speech as we call it here. However I have yet to know just what the real charge is that is to bring him here for trial. Aunt Alice Robertson wrote the other day as if he had been in hiding and was just found said she saw his picture and a news item to that effect in a Montana paper but I did not see anything. His father died over there in 40 I think and she his mother wrote me that the American consulate wanted her to go to Lisbon and take passage for U.S.A. but she said if she came there was no home for her here.

Begins with news of a communication from Pound's wife the artist Dorothy Pound née Shakespear 1886-1973: 'Your letter was such a happy surprise. I had been wondering about you if you were vacationing or going to summer school and since Dorothy Pound's last note stated that Omar was in Hamilton College I had wondered if you two cousins might meet. You will have a lot of fun sort of catching up on family history. And Dorothy has said that it is possible that sometime she and Omar might come to see me so we will keep this trip that you and he may have in mind. If he gets out here he will love the country and later bring his mother. Right now I have been looking for a note from her telling me if Omar's grandmother has arrived from Italy or a note from Isabella herself telling me if her plans to come are shaping up. Since Mother has not been writing I have corresponded with the “Italy Pounds†myself …'. She continues on the topics of Homer's pension and a letter she has received 'from Ezra from Elizabeth's Hospital' which she has forwarded to 'Dorothy Omar's mother'. She discusses a photograph she has of Omar taken 'when he was a small tot': 'Aunt Isabelle has told me so much about him I feel as if he is one of my own circle of adopted sons'. She discusses his actual relationship to her and the recipient concluding: 'Anyway even if the cousin-ship is not close you can be real buddies at that.'
