A Strong Man Needed

193220336New York: Horace Liveright Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1932. First American Edition. Hardcover. spine just a bit turned small dent in top edge of front cover minor fraying at spine ends; jacket bright and attractive in spite of a bit of irregular fading along the spine and a touch of creasing at top of spine. The first novel by this English journalist and short-story writer a rather self-consciously "madcap" satire: the jacket blurb promises "amazing swoops of cuckoo fun and general insanities and at the same time grand satire and a healthy if absurd romance." The wackiness centers around the Cadwallows who in addition to being "one of the noblest and nuttiest families in England" also happen to be teetering on the brink of impoverishment. Potential salvation from their financial plight arrives in the person of Miss Wilhelmina Harkaway known as "Bill" a nine-foot-tall giantess who has been brought from Australia by the family's youngest son. She is readily adopted by the Cadwallow clan and with the patronage of a wealthy and even more eccentric friend a scheme is hatched to launch her on a prizefighting career and thereby reap a fortune. This isn't due to any discernible skill on her part in that regard or even to any inherent combativeness in her nature -- she's really quite a nice young lady of nineteen -- but simply because well it's that kind of book. Not surprisingly her enormous size and commensurate strength permits her to defeat all challengers and in no time at all she becomes a somewhat freakish celebrity even at one point going on an American tour. The human-freak-boxing angle is of interest as the author did a little amateur boxing himself as a young man and later garnered praise for a series of short fantasy stories about a "dwarf surrealist boxer" named Engelbrecht.

Wells William; Richardson Anna; Hoffman Elliott WABAA

A Vermont Cavalryman in War & Love: The Civil War Letters of Brevet Major General William Wells and Anna Richardson

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
