Brick red cloth with silver spine stamping mylar protected dust-jacket. Fine. Francis Parkman Jr. 1823-1893 was an American historian best known as author of "The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie" "Rocky-Mountain Life" and "France and England in North America." These works are still valued as historical sources and as literature. Jacobs' biography assesses the influence of Parkman's development and personality on Parkman's histories but also explores Parkman's relationship to basic social and cultural issues of the nineteenth century United States including the slavery question Native American issues expansion of the suffrage and anti-Catholicism.

190138770Winnipeg 1901. 4to. 10pp. and 43pp. respectively plus 31pp. of additional tables of customs schedules and weight of merchandise through Vladivostock. Early grey cloth upper cover lettered in gilt.<br/> <br/>An interesting contemporary account of the Trans-Siberian Railroad by an important Canadian railroad executive.<br/> <br/>"After a short career with a Scottish railway William Whyte emigrated to the Canadas in 1863 and accepted a job as a brakeman on the Grand Trunk Railway. Rising through the ranks he served as freight and station agent at various locations culminating his career with the company as the assistant superintendent of its central division. In October 1883 he moved to the Ontario and Quebec Railway as its general superintendent and a year later when this company was leased in perpetuity to the Canadian Pacific Railway he became the superintendent of the Ontario division. In 1886 he was transferred to Winnipeg as the superintendent of the CPR's western division . In 1901 Shaughnessy who had succeeded Sir William Cornelius Van Horne as president of the CPR in 1899 appointed Whyte his assistant to advise him on 'all matters connected with colonization proposed extensions of the Companys railway system the development of industries along the Companys lines the establishment of new business connections and the administration of the Companys lands town-sites and other properties of that description.' In 1903 Whyte was elected second vice-president in charge of the western lines. He was promoted vice-president in 1910. Whyte's most pressing problem from 1901 was to solve the recurrent blockages hampering the export of grain from the prairies. Under his direction the company constructed nearly 4000 miles of branch lines within a decade multiplied its rolling stock and experimented with ever-larger locomotives" Dictionary of Canadian Biography. The primary reason for this trip would appear to be to ascertain whether the Trans-Siberian railway would make Siberia a significant competitor to Canada's grain exports. Focusing on Siberia Whyte's epistolary reports goes into great detail on the route from Cheliabinsk to Vladivostock the agricultural prospects and natural resources along the way with a particular emphasis on Irkutsk and the articles imported. Much of his information came from first-hand examination as well as conversations with government officials and local merchants. He also comments on the construction of the railroad itself. unknown books

1975187831975. Mixed media on paper. Signed dated and numbered "#02" Alexander Sarantos Tremulis 1914-1991 was the designer of the production version of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo and was America's most original design theorist of the post-war era. He was born in Chicago and without any training in drawing or engineering joined the design team of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg in 1933. He was chief stylist when the company failed in 1937. He worked for GM Chrysler and Custom Motors in Beverly Hills which designed unique cars for movie stars. During World War II he worked for the Air Force designing aircraft and in the process drew what may have been the first visualizations of extra-terrestrial transport: flying saucers. After the war Tremulis worked with Preston Tucker and later for Ford. He formed his own consulting firm in the 1960's. This quite beautiful design and other similar ones were made for the ill-fated Bricklin car company which existed from 1974 to 1976 and whose demise had nothing to do with Tremulis's designs. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1982. unknown books
