21323Very good. Three-page manuscript letter approximately 800 words from Dr. G.A. Hinnen of Cincinnati Ohio to his parents. Dated March 22 1937 and written on letterhead of the National Association for the Elimination of Home Work of which the Hinnen was on the Advisory Committee. Writing more than a month after the devastating flood that stretched from Pittsburgh to Cairo Illinois and left 385 people dead Hinnen expresses gratitude that Cincinnati where 100000 lost their homes suffered less than many other cities. "Considering the horrors of it and its enormous extent not a case of typhoid.and but two deaths by drowning -- a truly remarkable record when you figure the river at a depth of 80 feet when 12 is the norm. Here at Cinti the river was 1 1/2 miles in width. At Louisville I understand it was 15 miles." After describing the utter devastation of most of the small towns around Louisville he returns to conditions in Cincinnati writing that that the city's "greatest hardship was lack of water. When the pumping plant finally submerged at 75 feet we were in a quandry. For two weeks not a trickle out of any faucet. So we hauled water. You have heard and read about bread lines but little did we expect to participate in a water line. Norwood St. Bernard Wyoming Ohio Columbus Chicago Indianapolis Dayton Hamilton all came to our rescue most valiantly. The Penn RR brought in 40000 gal. from Chicago. Water was paddled in the streets from concrete mixers tanks and whatnot. They would ring bells and people dashed out madly with any available receptacle.All business was suspended. Drug stores and food shops were the only stores allowed to be open. Where electricity was available you were allowed but a single small light to a house and on the radio fire police and emergency orders were constantly being transmitted. No autos allowed below Court St. While not actually martial law it practically amounts to it. No street lights at night. I never saw such desolation." A well-written and compelling account of life in Cincinnati in the aftermath of disaster. unknown books

An excerpt: Boys: See young woman just look here; / Your home is your true place; / You never ought from out your sphere / To show your pretty face. / Don't you see you ought to knit and sew / And meek and humble be / If from your sphere you wander so / You'll get no help from me. Girls: Joseph! You cant help yourself / Our cause is speeding on; / And you'll be laid upon the shelf / When woman's rights are won. When our President is Katy fair / And Mary's eyes of blue / Beam sweetly from the Mayor's chair / They'll see no place for you!

191821374Concord NH 1918. Two items -- a handbill or small broadside 11.25" x 6" titled "What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander! Do in 1918 What You Were Urged to do in 1898. Stand by the Administration that is Waging the War!" and a circular 11.25" x 8.5" dated October 31 1918 -- both urging the reader to vote for John B. Jameson for Senate. Neither piece makes explicit mention of suffrage instead offering arguments based on Jameson's history and positions on other matters primarily relating to the war. But Jameson was known as a sincere supporter of women's suffrage and--as the circular notes-- Moses had been noncommittal saying "I decline to make any statement for or against any named measure prior to my election to the Senate." The handbill is signed in print by Mary I. Wood and Mrs. Winston Churchill Mabel Harlakenden Hall both prominent suffragists and the circular is signed by about 65 women from across the state. Both items have a little toning at the edges and some small chips and tears; overall very good. unknown books

It describes the land of silver and shows that the Southwest is producing each year two-thirds of the silver of the whole world; but it does not attempt to discuss the merits of a double-standard of gold and silver. It treats of railways generally and gives facts and figures showing how these great civilizers have neglected the Southwest."

006371No Place: Green Feather Movement RARE No Place No Date but Bloomington Indiana March 1954. The first call to action of the "Order of Robin Hood" which became known as the Green Feather Movement an early college activist movement rising from the campus of Indiana University against censorship and McCarthyism. On Nov. 13 1953 Mrs. Thomas J. White of the Indiana Textbook Commission called for a ban of Robin Hood in all school books for promoting communism because he stole from the rich to give to the poor. In response a group of 5 Indiana University students -Bernard Bray Mary Dawson Edwin Napier Blas Davila and Jeanine Carter- came together after gathering a bag of chicken feathers and dyeing them green to represent Robin Hood. They then spread them throughout campus in response to this censorship and the Red Scare of McCarthyism. The Green Feather Movement inspired student activism across the country with groups forming at Harvard Michigan Illinois Wisconsin Purdue and UCLA heralding the much broader and potent student protests of the 60s and 70s.
