Japanese Internment Pointers on Final Reports to All Staff Members Helping to Prepare Minidoka's Overall History together with a Single-sheet Departure Checklist Used for Inmates Leaving the Camp

1945140941374Hunt Idaho: War Relocation Authority 1945. First Edition. Near Fine. A WRA memo to all staff members helping to prepare Minidoka's overall history. Two stapled long sheets folded in uneven thirds. Pointers and guide posts given by Project Director W. E. Rawlings and Acting Reports Officer Richard A. Niver in response to questions posed by various staff members regarding statistical-functional and personal narrative reports. The Minidoka War Relocation Center was formally closed on October 18 1945 and this memo dated November 1 1945. Together with a checklist for employees document detained families leaving Minidoka; one single sheet printed on recto only. The final days of Minidoka were "confusing and cumbersome" and some felt leaving was nearly as chaotic as arriving with camp officials hustling bewildered inmates onto trains. "Inmates also had to make their own travel arrangements. So-called "special" cars or coaches-essentially train cars that were reserved for Minidokans only-were sought after by both inmates and administration since they seemed to offer at least a degree of safety and comfort. But the scheduling of the "special" coaches was irregular and they sometimes were canceled at the last minute since troop movements always had first priority. Those leaving Minidoka took a bus to the Shoshone train station about twenty-seven miles away from which trains took them back to the West Coast or to destinations to the east. Especially in the last weeks of the camp various administrative staffers met inmates at Shoshone to help with last minute details and make sure everyone got on the train.

STRIKING PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPH OF A MILITARY ENCAMPMENT LIKELY DOUGLAS ARIZONA CIRCA 1915 AT THAT TIME THE TRAINING GROUND FOR AMERICAN TROOPS IN THE 1916 MEXICAN EXPEDITION AGAINST PANCHO VILLA AND LATER WORLD WAR I

1915WRCAM52514Camp Douglas Az 1915. Panoramic silver gelatin photograph 8 x 32 3/4 inches. Matted and framed. Minor dust-soiling some foxing at right a handful of tiny surface abrasions. Overall very good. An intriguing "yard-long" panoramic photograph showing a handful of men and supplies likely belonging to the Sixth Field Artillery at Douglas Arizona around 1915. A pencil notation in the bottom margin identifies the location as "Douglas Ariz." and the supplies are similar to those found in another Camp Douglas encampment photograph held by this firm. The foreground captures about a dozen large gauge artillery guns on wooden wagon wheels likely officer's quarters atop the hill and then hundreds of tents arranged in tight quarters in the valley below for as far as the eye can see. The photograph captures important details on the organization and supplies necessary for training troops in the American army during the early 20th-century. Military records indicate the regiment training at Douglas at this time was the Sixth Field Artillery shortly before they participated in the Mexican Expedition of 1916-17 designed to defeat Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution. The regiment would soon after fold into the First Expeditionary Division later the First Infantry Division - known to history as the Big Red One - during World War I. Soldiers who had come from the Sixth Field Artillery to the First Infantry Division would see action in France specifically Lorraine and Picardy in 1917 and 1918. An important view of military organization in the early decades of the last century before mechanized vehicles became the norm in war. unknown books

1945WRCAM55496Frankfurt am Main-Schwanheim: Printed by Franz Jos. Henrich 1945. 114pp. Profusely illustrated from photographs. Front board and titlepage printed in blue black and red. Quarto. Original printed paper boards tan cloth backstrip. Cloth chipped at foot of spine boards very lightly soiled. Very good. An extensive and profusely-illustrated regimental history of the 43rd Signal Heavy Construction Battalion an African-American unit that fought in Germany during the last two years of World War II. This history of the battalion was partially written and edited by African-American members of the unit serving as associate editors. It was printed in occupied Germany in November 1945 almost certainly in a small edition for distribution among members of the battalion - the concluding section of the volume has a section for "autographs." Included is a detailed timeline of the unit's activities from February 1944 to early October 1945 along with a technical history pictures of the all-white officer corps a detailed background of the 43rd and a short account of individual recognitions. The three most detailed sections of the work give in-depth accounts of the Headquarters section Company A and Company B respectively. These sections are also full of images of the soldiers in training and include roster lists. The 43rd Signal Heavy Construction Battalion was formed at Camp Crowder Missouri on February 7 1944. The battalion served in four separate campaigns in Europe: northern France the Rhineland Ardennes-Alsace and central Europe spending most of 1945 in Germany. The battalion was responsible for constructing communications support throughout Europe laying or hanging hundreds of miles of wire and cable during their time in the war. The battalion was inactivated on May 28 1946 while in Germany but was reactivated and redesignated for service in Vietnam in 1966.

Some marginal chiping and tears at the fold affecting the "J" in the signature of J.C. Calhoun. A good copy. Wikipedia: "John Caldwell Calhoun:March 18 1782 - March 31 1850 was an American statesman and political theorist from South Carolina who is best remembered for his strong defense of slavery and for advancing the concept of minority rights in politics which he did in the context of defending Southern values from perceived Northern threats. He began his political career as a nationalist modernizer and proponent of a strong national government and protective tariffs. By the late 1820s his views reversed and he became a leading proponent of states' rights limited government nullification and opposition to high tariffs-he saw Northern acceptance of these policies as the only way to keep the South in the Union. His beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South's secession from the Union in 1860-61. Calhoun began his political career with election to the House of Representatives. As a prominent leader of the war hawk faction Calhoun strongly supported the War of 1812 to defend American honor against Britain. He then served as Secretary of War under President James Monroe and in his position reorganized and modernized the War Department. In the 1824 presidential election he was the overwhelming choice of the electoral college for Vice President of the United States. He served under John Quincy Adams and continued under Andrew Jackson who defeated Adams in 1828. unknown books

Ohio Reformers Use Rhode Island's Dorr Rebellion to Justify Their Own Behavior

184922543DORR WAR.Pamphlet. The Dorr Movement in Ohio; Being an Examination into the Causes Progress and Probable Effects of the Revolutionary Course of Locofocoism in the Organization of the General Assembly of This State for the Session of 1848-49. Columbus Ohio: Legg & Murray Columbus 1849. Disbound. Inscribed in pencil on the title by H.A. Swift the author in presentation. Historical Background The Locofocos were a faction that split from the New York Democratic party in 1835 after local disagreements with machine politicians and Tammany Hall's support of Andrew Jackson's stance on the national bank. They opposed state banks monopolies exclusive privilege and other antidemocratic measures. They also advocated suspending paper money and legal protection of labor unions. In New York the machine politicians ultimately prevailed by co-opting their principal issues and nominating fusion candidates and reabsorbing the dissidents by 1838.The anti-bank anti-corporation and increased democracy movement gained steam in neighboring Ohio throughout the 1840s with many looking to the Dorr movement in Rhode Island as a template for their own acts.In 1841 Rhode Island's Thomas W. Dorr had led the effort to change Rhode Island's political system and expand voting rights. After trying to change the system internally he created the People's Party held an extralegal constitutional convention and set up a competing government. The Rhode Island General Assembly drafted a rival constitution and in 1842 both groups voted on their respective Constitutions. Both Dorr and sitting Governor Samuel Ward King were elected governor but King refused to accept the People's Constitution declared martial law and accused Dorr of treason. While he did not attempt to seize the State House or governmental institutions a few armed clashes did occur. Dorr fled the state but returned and was convicted in 1843 but released for health reasons two years later. Ultimately Rhode Island greatly liberalized voting rights in the aftermath of the rebellion.NAIP 358662. The American Antiquarian Society lists another edition with slightly different imprint with 1848 date. books
