185545251Augusta House Augusta ME 1855. Very good folded small tear to one edge minor soiling and ink bleed through. 3 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 10 inches. Letter dated January 4th 1855 one day after the Maine elections from Maubec Mitchell Rawson newly elected Whig member of the Maine House of Representatives to fellow Whig party member and candidate for Governor Isaac Reed reporting on the efforts to fix the vote in favor of Reed's opponent Anson Morrill. Rawson had been appointed as a member of a gubernatorial committee that morning so was privy to the shenanigans: "Much talk is made about the course which some members of the Senate & House wish to pursue. I tell them I have no objections to throwing out the votes in the Hancock Plantation & thereby elect or in any way assist Mr. Milliken but to throw them all out & by so doing disfranchise some thousand & declare Mr. Morrill elected by the people. I tell them such a course will be suicidal to the great American party which Mr. Reed & myself are one."<br /> <br /> He goes on to report who is opposed to these moves and who might be witnesses: "When I see you I will inform you who are the men who are so conscientious about this matter. I am perfectly quiet & cool but I have been at work. most of the time for the last 24 hours. They the Committee propose to spend the night in the committee room so as to have it said that we are doing up business in shape but they are more anxious to declare Mr. Morill Gov by the dear people. I have heard nothing from you but I think my course is patriotic or an honest one & I shall pursue it unless you suggest otherwise. Don't show my letters to anyone. I shall be glad when this session shall close."<br /> <br /> Anson Morrill 1803-1887 was elected Maine's Governor in 1855 and served until 1856. He had been a candidate under the Know Nothing and then Republican parties.<br /> <br /> John F. Milliken however was not among the list of Representatives in 1855 but seems to have gotten himself appointed Postmaster in his hometown.<br /> <br /> Isaac Reed 1809-1887 was a merchant and shipbuilder. He served in the Maine Senate 1839-1840; 1850 1863; the Maine House of Representatives 1842-1843; 1846; 1870-1871; as State Treasurer 1856; and in the U.S. House of Representatives 1852-1853.<br /> <br /> Maubec Mitchell Rawson b. 1825 was from Waldoboro Maine. unknown

1866784871866. MITCHELL S. Weir. The Case of George Dedlow in The Atlantic Monthly July 1866. Original printed wrappers. Boston: Ticknor and Fields 1866. First edition. S. Weir Mitchell's literary work for adults. Printed anonymously in the Atlantic Monthly this is the fictional account of a Civil War assistant surgeon who had lost all of his limbs in battle. The realistic descriptions of the narrator's injuries and amputations led many readers to believe the story to be true. The story was later collected in The Autobiography of a Quack and the Case of George Dedlow New York: The Century Co. 1900. In the introduction Mitchell says the story wasn't written for publication. He had lent the manuscript to a friend who sent it to another friend who then sent it to the Atlantic Monthly. Mitchell was a physician who specialized in disorders of the nervous system and is considered the father of modern neurology. During the Civil War he was placed in charge of Turner's Lane Military Hospital in Philadelphia which became a specialty hospital for soldiers with neurological diseases. This allowed Mitchell to study and treat soldiers with a condition he called "sensory hallucinations" of stumps commonly known as "phantom limb syndrome." Although first described as early as the 16th century by French surgeon Ambroise Pare Mitchell was the first to study and describe the phenomena in detail describing it in his 1872 textbook Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences. The term "phantom limb syndrome" became popular from an earlier article Mitchell wrote "Phantom Limbs" in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine Dec. 1871 in which he described the condition at length for a more general audience.

Single sheet printed in red black and blue folded to make a multi-paneled brochure described here as a “pamphlet.†Condition is very good. hajhlcb374330</p> <p>A striking survival of conservative counter–civil rights literature centered on Reverend Henry Mitchell a Chicago pastor promoted as a patriotic Black leader by right-wing activist Kent Courtney and the Conservative Society of America.</p> <p>The pamphlet portrays Mitchell as an alternative to Martin Luther King Jr. and Stokely Carmichael emphasizing self-responsibility anti-communism and opposition to civil disobedience busing and welfare dependency. In Courtney’s framing Mitchell offered “constructive alternativesâ€â€”education employment and juvenile reform—while rejecting protest and direct action.</p> <p>Mitchell openly challenged Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967 over strategy and tactics and denounced Carmichael as “seditious.†His North Star United Missionary Workers of America consisting of some 65 ministers and tens of thousands of members is depicted here as an organization devoted to training employment and self-reliance for African Americans.</p> <p>Follow the North Star exemplifies a deliberate effort to elevate certain Black leaders who rejected mainstream civil rights approaches while simultaneously attacking the press liberal clergy and federal programs as communist-inspired. The closing text urges readers to buy copies in bulk and distribute them to politicians editors and pastors reinforcing its role as a propaganda piece.</p> <p>Scarce. Copies of CSA “pamphlets†as this is described were cheaply produced for mass circulation and seldom survive. This example illustrates the intersection of race conservatism and Cold War anticommunist politics at a pivotal moment in 1968 when King’s assassination urban uprisings and Black Power radicalism reshaped the political landscape.</p> unknown
