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.<p><br /> <br /> 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.

19902311843Tokyo: Kodansha International 1990. 5th Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. Fifth printing. Minor general wear. 1990 Mass Market Paperback. 339 pp. "Many books have been written about Japan's surrender in World War II but the definitive story can only be told by the Japanese themselves. This brilliant reconstruction of the bitter hours preceding the surrender announcement of Emperor Hirohito is based on material compiled by the Pacific War Research Society a panel of distinguished Japanese authors and journalists. In minute and vivid detail it relates the history-making events of the brief twenty-four-hour period before the Emperor's broadcast that changed the course of nations-and the lives of millions. During those hours-while hot-blooded young army officers were in violent conflict about whether to surrender or not-one man General Korechika Anami Minister of War with his indomitable will and loyalty stood firm in his conviction that the Emperor's word must be obeyed. That conviction led him to the supreme sacrifice sepukku and his country to peace. Japan's Longest Day is a penetrating document on the tragic personalities who played out their last great roles on the crumbling stage that was the Imperial Empire of Japan.

1862WRCAM45999Janesville Wi. 1862. Broadside 8 1/2 x 6 inches. Light wear and foxing. Very good. An unrecorded Civil War broadside publicizing a dispatch from Union Gen. George B. McClellan following The Seven Days' Battles which occurred between June 26 and July 2 1862. In the course of that week Union and Confederate forces fought a series of battles in five different locales. At the end of these engagements the Confederates withdrew to Richmond. This EXTRA provides information about losses and casualties and states: "Gen. McClellan and his big staff all agree that the position of our army is far more advantageous as a base of operations against Richmond than that hitherto occupied." Although most of the battles in the Seven Days can be considered Union victories the overall outcome of the campaign was still not particularly successful for the Union due to McClellan's weaknesses as a commander in the field. Afterwards the Union's Peninsular Campaign was abandoned and the majority of McClellan's men were transferred to John Pope's army in Northern Virginia. unknown books

186537368Philadelphia: P.S. Duval & Son LIth. 1865. Broadside lithograph oblong 10-1/8" x 6-3/4." Some foxing at the margins else Very Good.<br/><br/> This is an extremely rare lithograph by Duval depicting General Joe Johnston's surrender of his army to General Sherman on April 18. "Peter Stephen Duval the most prominent Philadelphia lithographer of the 19th-century was born ca. 1804/5 in France. He emigrated from France to Philadelphia in the fall of 1831 to accept a job as a lithographer with the printing firm of Childs & Inman. By 1837 he had established his own lithographic printing shop and remained in business until his retirement in 1869" online Library Company article on Duval. <br/> "Sherman studies the surrender terms as his vanquished opponent Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston waits with evident unease in this rare depiction of the meeting at the Bennett House in Durham North Carolina. The print erred in showing the principals with their staffs; Sherman remembered that 'we were alone together.' Unlike Appomattox the Bennett House surrender quickly had a shadow cast over it when the War Department disallowed Sherman's terms and this scene never rivalled the meeting of Lee and Grant in iconographic memory."
