Image: 5.5"x3.875". Mount: 6.5"x4.25". Photograph shows Sitting Bull's log cabin with 6 men and three horses in front of or beside the cabin. All are dressed in coats with one man holding a rifle and another holding a pistol. All appear to be white men and likely soldiers or officers at Standing Rock Agency Fort Randall or Fort Yates. Printed across the blank top edge of the mount is the following: Sitting Bull's Log Cabin now on Exhibition at World's Fair Chicago 1893 owned by Sitting Bull Log Cabin Co. Mandan North Dakota." Across the bottom blank edge of mount is "Geo. E. Spencer U.S. Army Photo. Sitting Bull's Log Cabin Morning of the Fight. 7520 Ellis Ave. Chicago." Verso has scuffing to five 1" spots from past attachment and previous owner's name and address. Printed along top edge is "World's Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893. At bottom edge is printed "Agricultural Building." The Indian Agent for Standing Rock was James McLaughlin. With fears of Sitting Bull's intentions to join the rapidly growing Ghost Dance Craze McLaughlin ordered the Indian Police to go to Sitting Bull's cabin at dawn of December 15 1890 arrest him and return him to the agency. Following those orders 39 Indian Police surrounded Sitting Bull's cabin at dawn with the 3 officers knocking on the door before entering the cabin. They awoke Sitting Bull and informed him of their plans for his arrest and taking him to the agency. Eventually taking him outside in the interim many of Sitting Bull's supporters gathered to defend him. As the police attempted to force Sitting Bull to mount a horse a supporter shot the head officer Lt. Bull Head who in turn shot Sitting Bull in the side of the chest. As gunfire broke out 2nd Sgt. Red Tomahawk shot Sitting Bull in the back of the head. Within minutes Sitting Bull's supporters had killed or mortally wounded 6 of the police including 2 of the 3 officers. The Indian Police had killed Sitting Bull and 7 of his supporters. The police moved to the corral area for defense and awaited the arrival of the Army forces in order to safely return to the agency. As noted on the cabinet card Sitting Bull's cabin was disassembled and then moved to the World's Fair Exhibition in Chicago in 1893. Image is clean and clear in near fine condition.

1947196441947. 11th Airborne Division paratroopers photographed during the early American occupation of Japan document airborne training and daily military life within one of the most distinguished U.S. Army airborne units of the Second World War. More than two hundred photographs dating primarily from 1947 depict members of the 11th Airborne Division conducting parachute jump training weapons drills and daily base activities while stationed in Japan after the end of the Pacific War. The photographs appear to have been assembled by a soldier identified through accompanying material as Jeff C. Wall likely assigned to a military government team in Yamagata Prefecture. The images capture the division during the transitional period between wartime combat service in the Pacific and the emerging American military presence in East Asia that characterized the early Cold War.<br /> <br /> Archive contains 217 Silver Gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 2.25 x 2.5 inches to 4.75 x 6.5 inches depicting paratroopers of the 11th Airborne Division in Japan. The archive includes twelve photographs documenting parachute jump training sequences from aircraft exit through descent and landing as well as several images of fully equipped paratroopers lined up before boarding troop carrier aircraft. Numerous photographs show soldiers around transport planes and other aircraft on base airfields. Additional images depict artillery and machine gun training exercises paratroopers assembled outside a command building displaying the slogan "Shape Up or Ship Out" and informal scenes of soldiers gathered around barracks or posing in groups. The photographs also record elements of base life including an enlisted men's club ticket associated with the Yamagata Military Government Team women service personnel including a nurse playing cards with soldiers and views of the surrounding Japanese landscape. Approximately fifteen photographs show Mount Fuji and nearby terrain around the camp in northern Japan.<br /> <br /> The 11th Airborne Division earned distinction during World War II through its combat operations in the Pacific theater particularly during the campaign for Luzon in the Philippines in 1945 where the division conducted airborne assaults and participated in the liberation of Manila. Units of the division also carried out a well known raid that freed Allied prisoners from the Los Baños internment camp. Following Japan's surrender in 1945 the division became part of the U.S. occupation force tasked with maintaining security and administrative control across parts of Japan. The 1947 photographs document airborne training and routine service during this occupation period when American military forces remained stationed throughout the country while the geopolitical tensions of the emerging Cold War began reshaping U.S. global military deployments. In later years the division was reassigned to Alaska where its airborne operations in Arctic environments led to the nickname "Arctic Angels."

1943215491943. Photo archive documents the experiences of African American and white soldiers during and after World War II with a particular focus on the postwar occupation of Japan and the Philippines. African American and white United States Army soldiers in occupied Japan and the Philippines appear throughout this World War II and immediate postwar photograph archive of 16 original photographs documenting the military presence established in Asia following Japan's surrender in 1945. United States occupation forces entered Japan under the authority of the Allied command led by Douglas MacArthur overseeing demilitarization economic stabilization and reconstruction of Japanese infrastructure. The photographs document American servicemen returning from deployment in the Pacific and participating in the early occupation environment including logistical operations military transport and everyday life among U.S. troops stationed abroad. Several images specifically depict African American soldiers providing visual evidence of Black military service during a transitional moment when the U.S. armed forces remained segregated yet were increasingly dependent on specialized technical personnel and logistical units supporting large occupation forces across Asia.<br /> <br /> Archive of 16 items consisting of 15 black and white silver gelatin photographs and one language manual documenting American military personnel in Japan the Philippines and the United States during and immediately after World War II. Photographs range in size from approximately 3.5 x 2 inches to 10 x 8 inches and include formal portraits group images of soldiers disembarking from a military transport ship in San Francisco after returning from Asia scenes of military activity in Japan and documentation of damaged wartime infrastructure. One portrait shows an African American soldier in full uniform wearing a shoulder patch for the Japan Logistical Command a unit responsible for supply distribution transportation networks and infrastructure support for American occupation forces in Japan. Another photograph depicts an African American soldier with technician rank insignia on his sleeve chevron indicating a specialized technical role within the Army's wartime ranking system. Informal photographs provide glimpses of daily life including a soldier seated in a rickshaw with an inscription on the reverse reading "This is what is used for a taxi over here it's called a RICKSHAW. The guy in the seat is sometimes called a sgt. when they can think of nothing worse Ha Ha." Another image captures soldiers gathered outside a military barracks while a photograph captioned "Shadow of C-54 falls upon Sons of the Rising Sun on arrival at Ie Shima 20 August 1945 enroute to Manila" records the arrival of a U.S. transport aircraft shortly after the end of the Pacific war.<br /> <br /> Japanese: A Guide to the Spoken Language. Washington: War Department 1943. Issued to American military personnel preparing for operations in the Pacific the manual reflects the practical linguistic training provided to soldiers expected to interact with Japanese civilians and local labor forces during military operations and the occupation period. The guide includes phonetic instruction and dialogues designed for rapid language acquisition. One instructional passage advises soldiers: "To learn to imitate the sounds of Japanese you should listen to the records at least six or seven times. The English will be given first followed by the Japanese. Then repeat the Japanese out loud and say it good and loud. Remember! Repeat every Japanese phrase right after you hear it." Illustrated dialogue exercises show soldiers asking for directions in Japanese while another voice interjects "Hey! Anybody here speak any English" The photographs and language manual together illustrate everyday realities of U.S. military life in Asia during the transition from wartime operations to occupation governance following Japan's surrender. Photographs exhibit minor edge wear and light creasing consistent with period handling. The language guide shows moderate handling wear with slight staining and creased pages but remains fully legible. Overall condition very good. unknown
1918232501918. World War I Fort Bliss soldier training and camp life photo album from El Paso ca. 1918 recording the rapid wartime expansion of a border post into a large World War I training environment through tent rows drill formations truck convoys gas-mask instruction and group portraits of enlisted men in uniform. The album grounds that setting in specific internal evidence including the handwritten caption "Thanksgiving Ft. Bliss Texas 1918" beneath a group portrait the tent sign "Ambulance Company No. 10 / Men Wanted" and a large camp scene captioned "Ready for Business / W.H. Horse Co / El Paso Tex." Additional photographs follow soldiers through inspection lines recreational and theatrical moments camp interiors and exteriors and transport scenes giving the album a broad documentary range centered on military routine rather than formal ceremony alone.<br /> World War I era training album at Fort Bliss El Paso Texas. Circa 1917-1918. Photograph album containing 49 original black-and-white photographs mounted on black cardstock photographs ranging approximately from 2 x 3 inches to 3.5 x 5 inches. Images include extensive camp views including long rows of tents men standing in formation a soldier posed before camp quarters and a large gathering identified in manuscript as "Ready for Business." One image shows a woman in military-style uniform saluting the camera possibly a YWCA servicewoman. A substantial section documents motor transport and field organization through ambulance and truck lines crowded vehicle scenes and the recruiting sign for Ambulance Company No. 10 but these sit within a wider record of ordinary post life that includes mess and tent arrangements wooded camp settings dogs and mascots informal portraits a gas-mask training portrait stage performance views beneath an American flag rail lines and trestles mountain roads canyon routes and several personal portraits among them a woman in military dress and another street portrait with a uniformed soldier. The sequence suggests a soldier-assembled working album built from service experience at Fort Bliss and nearby western travel rather than a commercially produced souvenir.<br /> The album places Fort Bliss within the wartime transformation of the U.S. Army on the Mexican border and in the Southwest when posts such as El Paso functioned as training transport and staging environments for newly mobilized troops. Its strongest documentary value lies in the accumulation of ordinary but specific military details: tent architecture vehicle organization gas defense drill troop formations mess arrangements rail infrastructure and the handwritten Thanksgiving 1918 notation that fixes part of the sequence to the closing months of the war. Black paper album with spiral binding; photographs corner-mounted throughout; several prints with creases abrasions or edge losses but images in overall very good condition; album itself sound and complete. Overall very good condition. A photographic record of Fort Bliss that preserves how soldiers organized camp life training movement and leisure in El Paso during the World War I years. unknown
1941193561941. Partially identified Black Airmen photographs and Tuskegee Airmen signatures. African American airmen associated with the United States Army Air Forces during the World War II era document the struggle the struggle of entry into military aviation during a period when the armed forces remained racially segregated. This archive contains sixteen items including photographs of Black airmen in uniform and autographs of Tuskegee Airmen the pioneering African American pilots and support personnel trained beginning in 1941 after federal pressure forced the Army Air Corps to open limited aviation training opportunities to Black candidates.<br /> <br /> Five original photographs of African American airmen in Army Air Forces or early U.S. Air Force uniforms and nine signed note cards bearing the signatures of Tuskegee Airmen veterans. The archive also includes a contemporary pamphlet and photograph of a monument commemorating the Tuskegee Airmen. Signatures appear on white unlined cards measuring approximately 5 x 3 inches and include Claude Platt of the 301st Fighter Squadron and an Army primary flight instructor Charles A. Lane Jr. of the 99th Fighter Squadron Charles McGee of the 302nd Fighter Squadron Luther E. McIlwain Eldridge Williams of the 332nd Fighter Wing Leroy Bowman of the 301st Fighter Squadron Edward E. Tillman of the 477th Bombardment Group Utota Knox of the 302nd Fighter Squadron and Curtis C. Robinson of the 99th Fighter Squadron. The five photographs include two panoramic images measuring approximately 8 x 15 inches and 8 x 17.5 inches and three smaller photographs measuring roughly 3 x 5 inches. <br /> <br /> One panorama shows a large formation of troops assembled in ranks with a band and flag bearers present with African American personnel grouped separately from white soldiers and women within the formation. A second panorama shows approximately four dozen Black airmen marching in formation near a military installation. The smaller photographs depict African American airmen wearing service uniforms with airman caps and winged shoulder insignia; one image bears the inscription "To Mother - From Son in the service" while another real photo postcard shows a Black airman posing with a Black woman seated in a prop carriage behind a decorative mule annotated with "me" above the woman and the initials "T.B." above the man. <br /> <br /> The Tuskegee Airmen program began in 1941 when the U.S. Army Air Corps initiated training for African American pilots at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama following federal directives requiring the military to allow limited Black participation in aviation roles. Units such as the 99th Fighter Squadron and the 332nd Fighter Group became the most visible African American flying units during World War II flying escort and combat missions in the European theater while operating within a segregated military structure. Their service challenged long standing claims that African Americans were unsuited for combat aviation and became a major milestone in the broader campaign for racial equality in the armed forces. The experience of these aviators and the public recognition of their accomplishments contributed to growing pressure for the desegregation of the military culminating in President Harry S. Truman's 1948 order ending official racial segregation in the armed forces. Five photographs ranging from approximately 3 x 5 inches to panoramic formats up to about 8 x 17.5 inches accompany nine signed note cards. One panoramic photograph shows slight water staining and a fold at the left corner; the remaining photographs and signatures remain well preserved. Overall condition very good. The material preserves visual documentation of African American participation in military aviation alongside signatures of several Tuskegee Airmen who served in fighter and bomber units during the war. unknown
1909553425Washington D.C.: Ordnance Department U.S. Army 1909. Hardcover. Very Good. First editions. Small octavo. 18 volumes totaling approximately 230pp. 10 volumes contain a chart one fold-out and three contain fold-out graphs. Bound with wrappers into black clothcovered boards with spine gilt and page edges sprinkled red. Several volumes with ownership stamps or signatures or inked or stamped notes on the cover. A clean sammelband save for a large dampstain on the front endpapers causing light rippling on the first 30 pages or so and unobtrusive occasional staining at the very top of the gutter one fold-out graph with about ¼ missing and occasional small chips or tears on the wrappers; altogether very good.<br /> <br /> A bound series of Army-issued instructional pamphlets dating from 1898 to 1909 which were distributed to manufacturers of smokeless powders guncotton Ballistite Cordite etc. to instruct them on the specifications required by the U.S. Army. The pamphlets range in length anywhere from six to 30 pages. The earliest pamphlet stands out as it is comprised primarily of mimeographed pages from specifications written for three earlier contracts one from 1895 and two from 1897 and is the only volume in the collection constructed in this manner. We suspect that before these specifications were made more generalized in these frequently updated pamphlets they were written out contract by contract. Three of the pamphlets contain the owner signature of Odus Creamer Horney on the front wrapper. Horney was in charge of the building and launching of the Army's first smokeless powder factory starting in 1907 while in command of the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.<br /> <br /> The collection contains two titles that eventually combine into one. Specifications for Smokeless Powders for Cannon later titled Specifications Governing the Manufacture of Smokeless Powder for Cannon and Standard Methods of Chemical Tests of Nitrocellulose and of Smokeless Powder for Cannon eventually combine into Official Methods for Examination of Nitrocellulose and of Smokeless Powder for Cannon and Specifications Governing Manufacture of the Same for about a year before the title was changed to No. 405 Instructions to Bidders and Specifications Governing the Manufacture Test and Inspection of Nitrocellulose and of Smokeless Powder for Cannon. A complete list of each title and a brief description is available upon request.<br /> <br /> As a collection this chronicles the evolution of the criteria required by the US Army for the manufacture of smokeless powders when that technology was still quite new in terms of use. OCLC locates four individual pamphlets but we could not find a similar example of this expansive collection. Ordnance Department, U.S. Army hardcover

1951186401951. Dawson William L. African American congressman from Chicago and World War I veteran of the segregated 366th Infantry Regiment House of Representatives speech delivered April 13 1951 addressing segregation in the United States armed forces during the early years of the Cold War. Dawson served in Congress for nearly three decades and became the first African American to chair a congressional committee. His speech was delivered during a critical period in the history of American civil rights and military policy following President Harry Truman's 1948 Executive Order 9981 directing the desegregation of the armed forces. Debates in Congress during the early 1950s addressed the pace and implementation of integration and Dawson used the floor of the House to argue that racial segregation contradicted the principles for which American soldiers fought.<br /> <br /> Dawson William L. "Segregation in the Armed Forces." Speech of Hon. William L. Dawson of Illinois in the House of Representatives April 13 1951. Congressional Record 82nd Congress First Session. Single printed sheet measuring approximately 6 x 9 inches preserved with original mailing envelope. The printed text reproduces Dawson's remarks opposing segregation within the military establishment. In the speech Dawson declared: "If there is one place in America where there should not be segregation that place is in the armed services among those who fight for this country." He continued with a broader appeal to constitutional ideals and national unity: "I would give up this life of mine to preserve this country and every American in it white or black. Deny to me today if you will all that American citizenship stands for I will still fight to preserve our Nation knowing that someday under the Constitution of the United States all of these restrictions will be removed and that we will move forward before the world as one people American people joined in a democracy which shall set the pattern for all the world."<br /> <br /> Dawson's remarks formed part of the ongoing political struggle over civil rights and military policy during the early Cold War. The Korean War had begun the previous year and questions about equality within the armed forces remained under active debate as the military implemented Truman's desegregation order. Dawson's own wartime service in a segregated unit during World War I informed his critique of racial discrimination within the military establishment. As a senior African American political leader in Congress his advocacy contributed to broader legislative and political pressure supporting the continued dismantling of segregation in the armed forces.
