1874012516London: Longmans Green Reader and Dyer 1874. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Poor. COPY OWNED BY REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER WITH ALS FROM AUTHOR PRESENTING THE BOOK. First edition large 4to purple cloth elaborately decorated in gilt aeg with numerous full page "illustrations of localities and scenes around Stratford Upon-Avon by the helioytype process". Disbound copy covers worn spine browned. With references in the text to Rev. Beecher's visit with his wife to Stratford on Avon in 1850 with a treatment of his observations thereof. Rev. Beecher's bookplate with his address of 82 Columbia St on the pastedown. The author James Walter a Liverpool shipowner is declared on the title page as Major of the Fourth Lancashire Artillery Volunteers an organization that he founded. The Volunteer Movement in England took hold after an invasion scare in 1859. The volunteer units were composed of part-time soldiers eager to supplement the regular British Army. The Lancashire Artillery that Walter founded was one of the first and the largest in the Volunteer Movement. Walter's ALS dated Chicago February 4 1883 is on letterhead of the Grand Pacific Hotel where both Walter and the famous Rev. Beecher 1813 - 1887 Congregational clergyman orator abolitionist and social reformer were hotel guests. The letter transcribed see below xxxx indicating unreadable reveals what an operator Walter was. Using both flattery of Beecher and feigned self-deprecation he tries to ingratiate himself to Beecher's favor apparently with the purpose of selling Beecher some portraits of George Washington by Shapler that were "owned by his family". He obsequiously points to the section of the book a rather pretentious grand state-of-the-art production for the time which describes Beecher's visit to Stratford on Avon "look to page 77 for your own beautiful paper". Walter also name-drops Rev. David Swing who as the most popular clergyman of Chicago of the time naturally would have been known to and by Beecher. An interesting curio of an artifact.

The United States Army Field Artillery School USAFAS trains Field Artillery Soldiers and Marines in tactics techniques and procedures for the employment of fire support systems in support of the maneuver commander. The school further develops leaders who are tactically and technically proficient develops and refines warfighting doctrine and designs units capable of winning on future battlefields. The mission of the Field Artillery is to destroy neutralize or suppress the enemy by cannon rocket or missile fire and to help integrate all fire support assets into combined arms operations. The U.S. Army Field Artillery School trains educates and develops agile adaptive and decisive Soldiers and leaders; engages collaborates and partners with other branches sister-services and other fires warfighting function proponents; and serves as the lead agent for the development of Field Artillery doctrine concepts and dissemination of that knowledge to the Field Artillery force in support of commanders operating across the full spectrum of conflict and in the joint inter-organizational and multinational JIM environment. The U.S. Army Field Artillery enables maneuver commanders to dominate in Unified Land Operations through effective targeting integration and delivery of fires. The origin of USAFAS can be traced back to the 1907 reorganization of the Artillery Corps and to the character of Fort Sill at that time. The 1907 reorganization created Coast and Field Artillery Branches. In the process of this reorganization the Field Artillery was deprived of its former home at Fort Monroe Virginia. Fort Sill was considered the best location for a Field Artillery school since its 15000-acre reservation allowed ample room for target practice and its great variety of terrain offered an excellent area for different types of tactical training. In addition the post had already assumed the character of the home of artillery with a large number of artillery units assigned. The first artillery school the US Army School of Fire was organized in 1911 by Captain Dan Tyler Moore. With the exception of a brief period in 1916 when school troops were used as frontier security guards during the Mexican Revolution the School has operated and expanded continuously. Hundreds of thousands of artillerymen have been trained at Fort Sill since the inception of the School. After the United States entered World War I the school reopened in 1917 with Col. William J. Snow as commandant. The Field Artillery School as it was now known added more courses. After the war school commandants began a long-range program to improve field artillery mobility gunnery and equipment. Budget cuts during the 1920s hampered their efforts but innovative directors of the Gunnery Department with support from school commandants helped modernize the field artillery in the 1930s. Maj. Carlos Brewer director of the Gunnery Department in the late 1920s and early 1930s introduced new fire direction techniques so fire support would be more responsive. Maj. Orlando Ward the next department director developed the fire direction center to centralize command and control and to facilitate massing fire. Brewer Ward and Lt. Col. H.L.C. Jones encouraged replacing horses with motor vehicles for moving field artillery guns. During World War II to best use new long-range guns and better response times the Field Artillery School championed the use of air observation to control artillery fires. The War Department approved organic field artillery air observation in 1942. The artillery air observers adjusted massed fire and performed liaison reconnaissance and other missions during the war. Following the war the school adapted to the atomic age and the Cold War. The War Department consolidated all artillery training and developments under the U.S. Army Artillery Center at Fort Sill in 1946. At that time the center included the Artillery School the Antiaircraft and Guided Missile School at Fort Bliss Texas and the Coast Artillery School at Fort Scott Calif.
