Original full black publisher's cloth binding, rubbed and worn. Hardbound. Lewis Cass (1782-1866) was an American military officer and politician. During the War of 1812, he served as Brigadier General. As a reward for his service he was appointed Governor of the Michigan Territory by President James Madison. In 1831 he resigned as Governor of the Michigan Territory to take the post of Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson, serving until 1836. Cass was a central figure in formulating and implementing the Indian Removal policy of the Jackson administration. From 1836 to 1842, he was U.S. Ambassador to France. Cass represented the State of Michigan in the United States Senate from 1845 to 1848. In 1848 he resigned from the Senate to run for President. Cass was a leading supporter of the Doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, which held that the people who lived in a territory should decide whether or not to permit slavery there. His nomination caused a split in the Democratic party, leading many antislavery Democrats to join the Free Soil Party. After losing the election to Zachary Taylor, he returned to the Senate, serving from 1849 to 1857. Cass then served as Secretary of State under President James Buchanan (1857-1860). This book was apparently issued in hopes that Cass would again run for the Presidency in 1852. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! AMERICANA BOX 1

Original Wrappers. 8vo. Vi, 49 pages. 22 cm. First edition. Six color graphs describing survey data relating to public opinion and knowledge about the Holocaust. An essay by James Young concerning popular opinion and knowledge of the Holocaust based on the findings of a series of surveys by The American Jewish Committee starting in 1992 and continuing after the publication of this essay. The topics contained within the survey questions include Holocaust literature, specific Holocaust history and Holocaust Memorial sites. James E. Young is Professor of English and Judaic Studies, and Chair, Judaic Studies Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, ushmm.org) Young's scholarly work focuses on historical memory and memorialization, and in particular the aesthetics and politics of Holocaust memorials, on which he is a recognized authority. Young's insight that the motives of memory are never pure informs his examination of the ways in which contemporary political commitments and exigencies shape what is remembered and how it is memorialized, and how a memorial may become part of a reductive political mythology. He proposes that the countermonument a work of art that interrogates and undermines intended, official meaning is the best guarantor that viewers will experience a more genuine sense of historical memory not entirely mediated by a heroic or redemptive national narrative.

197938907Dayton: Morningside Bookshop 1979. Hardcover. New introduction by E.B. Long. Small 4to. Red paper over boards with white lettering. xxii 633pp 5pp ads. Illustrations maps. Fine. A tight and pristine facsimile reprint Facsimile 48 of the 1914 first edition reviewed by James I. Robertson Jr. as "A necessary source for any study of Confederate cavalry operations in Kentucky and Tennessee." This copy bears fine autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a Typed Letter Signed from E.B. "Pete" Long 1919-81 1p 8½" X 11" Laramie WY 1978 January 11. Addressed to noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar Arnold F. Gates 1914-93. Near fine. On "University of Wyoming" letterhead Long commiserates at length with his friend about the Lincoln book "The Lincoln Conspiracy" whose outrageous untruths and inaccuracies had the serious Lincoln scholarly community up in arms -- so much so that Gates long-time literary editor of the "Lincoln Herald" resigned his position there in protest since the publisher of the Herald Lincoln Memorial University gave the authors of this "expose" honorary degrees! Reads in part: "Just when we thought that The Lincoln Herald was under capable hands Gerald McMurtry is gone and you have been forced to resign. It is a sad day. How the people at LMU could have given honorary degrees to the so-called authors of this trash is more than I can fathom. I saw Ralph Newman in Chicago this November and I can only describe his attitude toward their actions as 'furious.' It is all inexplicable disheartening and discouraging. To try for historical accuracy to have principles to follow good historical methodology is quite beyond these charlatans who turn out such profitable junk." Signed simply "Pete" in blue ballpoint.
