19121808Cantonment Ok.: Printed in the interest of the Mennonite Mission Among the Cheyennes 1912. About very good. 2299pp. Original brown cloth stamped in black. Light wear to binding spine ends slightly frayed. Inner hinges cracked but holding. Contents clean and fresh. Rare edition of this translation of two gospels into the Cheyenne language printed for use by the Mennonite Mission near Canton Oklahoma where they also operated an Indian School. The author Rodolphe Charles Petter was a Swiss Mennonite who immigrated to the United States in 1890 when in his mid-thirties for the express purpose of proselytizing the Native Americans. He spent a year at Oberlin College to learn English before arriving at the Cantonment Mennonite Indian School in 1891 where he spent the next twenty-five years as a teacher and missionary for the Cheyenne. In 1916 he left Oklahoma for Lame Deer Montana where he continued his activities among the Northern Cheyenne until his death in 1947. Petter published numerous works of Cheyenne grammar and language during his lengthy career including a massive English-Cheyenne dictionary; the present translation of the gospels of Luke and John is one of his earliest efforts. <br /><br />Petter's introduction to this work is written from the mission at Cantonment and is dated August 1902 but the book was first printed in Indiana on the press of the Berne Witness a tri-weekly bilingual newspaper for the Swiss and German immigrants who populated the town and also the official printing house for the Mennonite Church in the United States in late-19th and early-20th centuries. This second edition was published in Cantonment in 1912 and was produced on an eccentric early 20th-century printing device called the Gammeter Multigraph. The machine invented by H.C. Gammeter was an unwieldy combination of typewriter and office printing press and was typically used to reproduce typewritten letters and forms for distribution in large numbers. The production of an entire book such as the present volume would have been a complex and time-consuming personal undertaking.<br /><br />Very unusual and quite scarce -- we locate only a smattering of institutional copies in OCLC; none in Oklahoma and lacking from many major Indian language and western history collections.<br /><br />Ayer Cheyenne 4.

1949008338New York: Rand McNally & Co. 1949. RARE lithograph wall chart for the device called the "Structural Differential" which Alfred Korzybski patented in 1925 as a means to aid in visualizing the process he called "abstracting". This was to be used as a training device in general semantics a field of study Korzybski is credited with founding. The chart is Near Fine rubbed lower right mounted on two stained wooden dowels with ribbon hanger 18" wide by 38" high. Korzybski's work in semantics heavily influenced science fiction authors such as A.E. Van Vogt Robert A. Heinlein Poul Anderson and H. Beam Piper as well as L. Ron Hubbard and Joseph W. Campbell. His most famous quote "The map is not the territory" comes from this longer quote "A map is not the territory it represents but if correct it has a similar structure to the territory which accounts for its usefulness."
