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.

19272332New York: Sun Printing and Publishing Association 1927. Octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches; 215 x 140 mm 11 1 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />A short history of The Sun founded in New York by Benjamin H. Day in 1833. The Sun was a trendsetter in American journalism according to the media historian Edwin Emery. "Journalism began a new epoch on September 3 1833 with the appearance of a strange little newspaper The New York Sun It Shines for ALL" he writes in The Press and America: An Interpretive History of the Mass Media. "Most of the material was trivial flippant -- but highly readable. Most important it was cheap. Within six months the Sun had a circulation of around 8000 which was nearly twice that of its nearest rival." <br /><br />The Sun was sold in the street for only a penny and appealed especially to working-class readers with its mix of human-interest stories and emphasis on clear lively sometimes exaggerated storytelling. It was also notable for relying largely on advertising rather than subscriptions for its revenue. <br /><br />"An Outline of The Sun" features numerous photographs of key people at The Sun through the years including the great editor Charles A. Dana who led the paper and was its owner for 20 years. Its editorial cartoonist Rube Goldberg won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948. But perhaps its most famous moment came in 1897 with the publication of a letter from a young girl wanting to know if there is a Santa Claus. That led to one of the most renowned newspaper editorials ever commonly known as "Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus." Oddly though the pamphlet doesn't mention it. <br /><br />The Sun continued to publish until 1950 when it was folded into the New York World-Telegram. <br /><br />OCLC shows only 2 institutional holdings at Columbia and the New York Historical Society. None in commerce. RARE. <br /><br />A short but interesting look at a famous American newspaper known for its emphasis on human-interest storytelling. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some soiling to the wrappers upper corners bumped upper part of wrappers pulled away from staple small split at bottom of spine. Clean bright and unmarked on the inside pages. About Very Good. <br /><br /> Sun Printing and Publishing Association books
