1952223h2087Saskatchewan: Self-Published. Good. 1952. First Edition. Paperback. "I am writing this story from records of an old diary and that of an old police book aided by a memory which is still very good. It is my desire to tell what actually happened without any attempt at fiction.

111j0383Hardcover. "Sefton Delmer 1904-1979 was a British journalist of Australian heritage and propagandist for the British government during the Second World War. Fluent in German he became friendly with Ernst Röhm who arranged for him to interview Adolf Hitler in 1931. During the war he led a black propaganda campaign against Hitler by radio from England. It was so successful that Delmer was named in the Nazis' Black Book for immediate arrest after their planned invasion of Britain." - Wikipedia. "Delmer's dispatches were probably read by more people than any other British foreign correspondent's in the years before and after World War II. He could speak and think as fluently in German as in his native tongue which gave him a unique insight into and to a large extent sympathy with the German character. This attribute allowed him in this book to give the most intimate revealing and enthralling picture of life in Germany between the two wars ever written and particularly of the Nazi leaders all of whom he knew personally. This first volume of his autobiography ends with his escape from France in June 1940." - dust jacket. 423 pages. Index. Unmarked with light foxing and wear to publisher's red brick cloth.

1979106j1786Hollywood California: Angriff Press. Good in Good dust jacket. 1979. Reprint. Hardcover. 0913022284 . Signed and inscribed by Eustace Mullins upon title page. "Ezra Pound is the most controversial literary figure of our time. The man who edited the work of Yeats and T.S. Eliot was also tried for treason and sent to an insane asylum. Here for the first time Mullins presents the case for Ezra Pound documenting the tremendous contribution he made to contemporary American culture in a witty and biting criticism of our society which gives lip service to poetry while imprisoning its major poet. Contains excerpts from the controversial broadcasts Pound made from Italy during WWII. The chief complaint against him seems to have been that he refused to take part in the slaughter of the war. While so many millions were dipping their hands in blood he asked only for peace." - dust jacket. Pound also educated Mullins about the Federal Reserve which ultimately led to Mullins becoming perhaps America's pre-eminent conspiracy author in later decades. Reprint of the 1961 first edition.

19280001129BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS MASS MA. Very Good. 1928. On offer is an absolutely super original 1928 diary handwritten by Amelia Maria Ely Howe who was the wife of noted Boston surgeon Dr. Walter C. Howe who would die in 1931. The diary offers up an amazing intimate look into the life of a prominent and wealthy family during the 1920s. This diary offers up some amazing historical reading including many high society events such as the theatre fancy dinners traveling and several social functions around Boston; most taking place at some of the prominent "hot spots" during the 1920s. She also talks about their annual trip to their summer cabin in Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Right before they leave for Canada their daughter Emily leaves on an ocean voyage to Europe before returning home for her "Debutante coming out party" which took place on November 16 1928. Emily eventually marries a surgeon by the name of George Aaron Marks. Frederick their son had Epilepsy because on several occasions Amelia mentions his "Attacks" or "Sickness" which sometimes last for an hour. There are also several newspaper clippings pasted inside an one photo of a man standing by a car with a long fur coat on. She also mentions on different occasions that her husband is working on writing a prescription book. Here are snippets: 1928 "January 13th To Ritz Carlton with Mary Guild and Mrs. Humphries to hear Louis Brownfield talk on "How Characters in Fiction are Born." Then to tea at Brittany Coffee Shop.

19410001593WOOSTER KIDRON ORRVILLE OHIO OH. Very Good. 1941. On offer is an original manuscript relic of another time and another era being a 1941 diary handwritten by we believe a woman detailing her life on the farm somewhere near Wooster Kidron and Orrville Ohio in and around the Amish and Mennonite communities. While unidentified in the book recent research suggests it is that she was Dale Schaffter who died in an Orrville Wayne Co. OH nursing home 23 Feb 1988 at age 98. In 1940 Ohio/Wayne County/Sugar Creek/Enumeration District 85-39 image 25 of 32 she was living in a household with her younger apparently not very kind! sister Blanche also not married age 46 her widowed perhaps divorced mother Elsie age 75 and "foster daughter" May Kiener age 16. They lived right next door to a Yoder family. Ohio death records indicate that Blanche also never married but Dale outlived her Blanche d. 07 Jul 1983 at age 89 in a hospital in Canton Stark Co. Ohio. The 1930 census shows the household headed by Augustus Schaffter a blacksmith age 67 and May Kiener is already with the family. The 1920 census includes a son Floyd b. ca1901--also mentioned in the excerpts. and her diary is typical of the time and the place mentioning cleaning baking and gardening with Mama often sewing and her chores and animals mostly pigs on the farm but there are some interesting anecdotal entries such as Blanche having some of her 'spells'. Her are some snippets: "I finished the dress that Wilma gave me except the belt. Dawn brought me a buckle for it cost .50. I sold her 3 dz. eggs at .18. I sent my sacks to be washed those Aunt Millie gave me. My pig feed was delivered from Nussbaum m's sic charges 3.20. I had Blanche get me a water fountain for chicks $1.60." She also mentions other women Blanche and May who I thought may be her sisters but her last entry for Dec. 31st would negate that. She also mentions a boy Floyd a few excerpts: "Mamma and I were canning beef all day. Blanche had another spell - ordered my and May's things out of the kitchen. I made the waist and sleeves for May's navy dress while I watched the processer sic. My 3rd peep died. Elva C. was here for Floyd taking him to spend weekend." Next day she wrote: "I canned more meat and worked at May's navy dress but didn't quite finish it. I sent with Blanche to Kidron for 200 lbs. chick starter at L.E. Sommers and 1 qt. cod liver oil. We have canned 41 qts. of beef an 6 pts." She also writes of when she and others went to church. Her everyday activities center around cleaning cooking baking and farming like most women's lives were like on a farm but this is distinctly different in the descriptions she provides of her clothes and other tangibles helping one to visualize what her day-to-day life was like. Oddly though hardly surprising given the nature of Amish life there is no mention of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. However in the last entries of December we note discord that may provide a better understanding of just what the relationship with Blanche was - and it was not an easy one. They may have been related somehow--Blanche Mama May and the writer of the diary or they lived together out of necessity or because it was the Amish way. Starting with a few lines on Dec. 29 1941 "Blanche took Mamma to Dalton to Uncle Als. I went along to Dalton Mill paid my bill and ordered mash and oats. ; Dec. 30 1941: "I went to Kidron with Blanche got grit for peeps 25 cts. and paid $20.00 on acc. at L.E.'s. I bought a gift for May to take to Banquet and gift exchange at the church 25 cts. May went to Akron with Ward and Elsie. My feed from Dalton Mill didn't come. May and I cleaned the brooder house." And finally but sadly Dec. 31 1941: "Feed delivered this evening. Uncle Al brought Mamma home Uncle Al dead funeral at Medina Jan 1 1942 2 P.M. I went to Paul Armst_____ P.M. for May. Lillie was here to tell me of a place May and I could go. Blanche ordered Mamma and I to sell our belongings and move."

19330001509SPRINGFIELD BARREN PLAINS TENNESSEE. Good. 1933. On offer is a very interesting manuscript diary handwritten by Florence E. Hughes who lived in or near Springfield Tennessee in 1933. We believe Florence was an African American woman though this is not stated categorically in the book there seems little doubt given the clues some activities etc. Florence was born on July 4th 1867. She married Walter S. Hughes in 1890 and had three children with rather interesting names; Golden R. Pearl M. and Jewel A. She talks of "traveling" to Springfield and living closer to Barren Plains which she writes about it as if it were home. Prolific but rather illiterate Florence details life and quite a few deaths from the area talks of barn dances tobacco growing shows coming into town a "Negro" trial that was held on their front lawn and much more for a full diary. Her husband was a blacksmith by trade and Florence designed several gravestones for her family and some local folks providing a very broad knowledge base of doings in the town. Here are some snippets: 1933 "January 1st Mary Olive Highsmith Jones will have her funeral at the Baptist Church here today.

Nothing doin with English IV & VII. Gee I'm mad. Little good it does tho! Are you practicing Wagner's March!! Oh! Yes!
