20072303961Lynchburg / Saline: Schroeder Publications / McNaughton & Gunn Inc 2007. First Edition. First Edition. Fine/Fine. First edition. 2007 Hard Cover. xxxii 544 pp. William Wells has the distinction of being one of the few men to rise from the rank of private to brevet major general. Through Wells letters the reader will become familiar with the inner workings of one of the most successful cavalry regiments in the Civil War capturing 39 cannon three flags and 1000 prisoners in the course of 73 engagements. This new primary source material is appealing to those with various interests in the Civil War outside Wells and the 1st Vermont Cavalry. Wells was captured by Confederate Colonel John Mosby on March 17 1863 near Herndon Virginia. Wells was a prisoner of war for seven weeks spending most of that time at Libby Prison. At Gettysburg Wells and General Elon Farnsworth rode side by side into the ill-fated July 3 1863 dash into the Confederate right flank for which Wells earned the Medal of Honor in that gallant and futile charge. Wells and the regiment also served valiantly in Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign and at Cedar Creek in the Shenandoah Valley on October 19 1864. By the last year of the war he was a brigade commander and Major General George Armstrong Custer's right hand man. This book not only gives new insight to Custer through Wells eyes but other Civil War figures such as Farnsworth Wilson Mosby and Kilpatrick. At first the letters are written to Wells parents and friends until mid-1863 when he commenced writing to Friend Anna Richardson. At the time Wells was 25 years old. Anna responded positively. The reader can see the relationship develop to the point of marriage in these letters. In one of Wells first letters he relates how he was almost captured for a second time but was able to escape only after the loss of his horse and wallet that contained $125. Anna writes of her memories of the short time they had together. The letters compel the reader to see what is written next in this budding relationship and their longing to be together. On a furlough home in January 1865 Wells and Anna became engaged during a sleigh ride the only time they were together since the commencement of their correspondence. In 1865 Wells commanded a brigade that consisted of the 8th New York 15th New York 3rd Indiana and 1st Vermont. In the engagement at Waynesboro Virginia on March 2 the brigade captured 15 battle flags while eliminating Confederate General Jubal Early's command. Two days later Anna received a ring and on March 8 she scrawled her vows in a letter to Wells. At the Battle of Five Forks Wells wrote Anna that his clothes had six holes made by bullets and that he was hit by a spent piece of shell. On April 3 Wells brigade routes the Confederate Brigade of General Rufus Barringer at Namozine Church. At Appomattox Station on April 8 Wells men were in the thick of the fight capturing a large number of Confederate soldiers and cannon. Then at Appomattox Court House on April 9th his men were engaged in some of the last fighting that fateful day when the truce flags are sent out by Lee s army. Following the Appomattox Campaign Wells was commissioned a full brigadier general and took command of the division and he mustered out of service on January 15 1866 and married Anna three days later. Hoffman leaves Wells letters the way they were originally written. Furthermore nothing has been omitted from the letters to make them politically correct for today's world. War and romance combine to make an intriguing and unique primary source account. Schroeder Publications / McNaughton & Gunn, Inc unknown books

1968147232Paris: Les Films Marceau 1968. Three Draft scripts for the 1969 film by three different screenwriters. <br/><br/>From the estate of film producer Elliott Kastner whose best known credits include "The Long Goodbye" Robert Altman 1973 "The Missouri Breaks" Arthur Penn 1976 and "Heat" Michael Mann 1996.<br/><br/>The first script is an undated draft script by screenwriter George Bluestone who previously adapted Winston Graham's 1967 novel "The Walking Stick" for the 1968 Eric Till film with copied annotations throughout striking adding and adjusting dialogue.<br/><br/>The second is a Second draft script dated 1st April 1968 by novelist playwright and screenwriter Derek Marlow with copied annotations striking scenes or pages on nearly every page. Marlow said in an interview that he was asked by director Tony Richardson which book he'd like to adapt for a screenplay and Marlow suggested Nabakov's "Laughter in the Dark." Two or three months afterward Marlow received a call from Richardson asking him to write the adaptation. <br/><br/>At the time Richard Burton was to star alongside Marianne Faithfull. Marlow then went to the U.S. to promote his 1968 novel "Memoirs of a Venus Lackey" and upon his return to the UK found out a new screenplay by Edward Bond had been written and Burton and Faithfull had been replaced.<br/><br/>The third is a draft script dated 24th June 1968 by Edward Bond. IMDB shows the filming date as starting June 1968 thus likely a draft used early in the production. The first half of the script to page 66 is on pink paper with the remainder on green paper with no revision date change.<br/><br/>Based on the 1932 novel by Vladimir Nabokov updating the original 1930s Berlin setting to 1960s swinging London about a wealthy art dealer who is seduced and swindled out of his fortune by a young woman and her lover.<br/><br/>Set in London and the Riviera shot on location in Spain France and the United Kingdom. <br/><br/>George Bluestone script:<br/><br/>Wrapper integral with title page with credits for screenwriter George Bluestone and author Vladimir Nabokov. 114 leaves with last page of text numbered 109.

18964969New York: Bartlett & Company The Orr Press 1896. Octavo 20.5 x 14 cm. 97 pages. Date derived from Water Street address on title page. An extensively illustrated trade catalogue of heating furnaces and cooking ranges. Before the 1830s gravity hot-air furnaces were produced according to the specifications of individual buildings. The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size - to say nothing of aesthetic appeal - at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of all other Richardson & Boynton cataloguesbut none of this issue; Romaine page 363 for other issues. Bartlett & Company, The Orr Press unknown books
