195242627Tokyo: Akane Shobo 1952. Hardcover. 12mo. Color pictorial paper over boards. 113pp. Illustrations one full color map/pictorial endpapers. Very good. Faint edgewear and touch of rubbing. Tight attractive copy of this charming Japanese biography of Abraham Lincoln for juveniles authored by this group that called itself Jidou Bungakusha Kyokai Youth Literary Scholar Association which jointly authored many such titles for children. Since our knowledge of Japanese is minimal -- O.K. nonexistent -- we are unable to determine edition. Most unusual. Interesting that in the U.S. Benjamin Thomas's "Lincoln: A Biography" was published this same year and that interest in Lincoln seems to have been at an all-time high -- even apparently in the Orient. It's also fascinating that despite the illustrator's best efforts to depict in line drawings many scenes from Lincoln's life not only the faces but even some of the settings and landscapes appear vaguely oriental.

" Ships running aground in heavy seas could be lost within sight of safety with the wild surf making rescue by small craft impossible. Soon after Congress authorized a Federal agency to operate coastal facilities in 1871 attention turned to making improvements in lifesaving apparatus. Assigned to this task ordnance officer David A. Lyle developed a small cannon that shot a projectile to which a light line was attached to a stranded vessel. The ships crew pulled progressively heavier lines from shore or another ship; then a breeches buoy suspended from a rope carried one person at a time from the ship to safety.- Springfield Armory NHS US NPS" Extensively illustrated.
