elala5919Charlottetown: 1812. A distinguished military engineer DesBarres served in the British Army in North America during the Seven Years' War and participated in the capture of Louisbourg in 1758 and of Quebec in 1759. General James Wolfe used a chart which he prepared of the St. Lawrence River and approaches to Quebec in his assault on the city. From 1763 to 1773 DesBarres surveyed and charted the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to New York which resulted in the publication in 1777 of the Atlantic Neptune a four-volume atlas “which stands as a landmark in Canadian cartographic achievement†R.J.Morgan DCB VI pp. 196 and is considered to be the most important atlas of North America published in the eighteenth century. He went on to become the first Lieutenant Governor of Cape Breton 1784-87 the founder of Sydney and the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island 1804-12. He faced considerable opposition to his administration in both colonies and with the home government and in each instance was recalled to England. The present document is dated just one month before his recall from Prince Edward Island in August of 1812. In it DesBarres reprimands the Grand Jury for overstepping the bounds of their authority although he says he is willing to attribute their statements to “good intentions in an infant colony language which under other circumstances might be very differently received.â€. one-page folio. horizontal folds several tears with no loss of text. matted & framed size of frame: 21.75 x 16 inches; 55.2 x 40.6 cm. elala5919 [Charlottetown]: 1812 unknown

The 371st and 372d Infantry Regiments were seconded to the 157th Infantry division of the French Army in 1918 during World War I and were involved in significant military action as part of the France's "Red Hand Division. The 372d was reconstituted in the National Guard in 1925 until World War II. The Regiment was not attached to a Division and served stateside and in the territory of Hawaii during World War II. Colonel Edward Orval Gourdin a double Harvard graduate undergraduate and law school and a silver medalist at the 1924 Olympics was the Regiment's commanding officer during World War II. He was later the first African American appointed as a Massachusetts Superior Court judge in 1951 and had achieved the rank of Brigadier General when he retired from the National Guard in 1959. The original owner of this book was a Staff Sergeant in the Regiment. Signed on first blank page by 14 individuals -- most seem to be fellow NCOs. paperback

194721653Middle Pacific / Hawaii-Region: Army Printing Plant 1947. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> Crossing the Ocean in the Age of Propellers<br /> An evocative artifact of the 'Golden Age' of military transport documenting the massive logistical pivot from total war to global peacekeeping in the Pacific Theater. <br /> <br /> This guide served as the essential orientation for personnel transitioning across the 'Middle Pacific' network covering destinations from the Hawaiian Islands to occupied Japan and China. While the primary text details flight decorum and survival-including the famous advice for women to wear slacks for parachute safety-the unique laid-in letter from the Fleet Logistic Support Wing Alameda CA adds a critical layer of naval aviation history. <br /> This supplementary document provides specific safety protocols for the JRM 'Mars' flying boats the largest Allied aircraft of the era which maintained the vital 'bridge' between California and Hawaii.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Provenance/Add-on: Includes a rare 2-sided typed letter from the Fleet Logistic Support Wing out of NAS Alameda California.<br /> Content: Detailed orientation for 11 Pacific destinations including Iwo Jima Okinawa Siam and Alaska.<br /> Aviation Specifics: Outlines flight decorum safety procedures and the post-war conversion of C-54/DC-4 aircraft for passenger service.<br /> Rarity: WorldCat/OCLC locates only 2 institutional copies Stanford and Claremont Libraries.<br /> Specs: 8.5 x 5.75 inches; v 54 pp. Illustrated with original mid-century drawings and sketches.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The pictorial stapled wrappers are tight and square with moderate shelf handling wear. The rear cover shows some wrinkling along the bottom edge and lower corner. Internally the text is clean with light even age-toning. The laid-in 8 x 15 inch letter is well-preserved with original folding creases. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> Produced by the Army Printing Plant in the 'Middle Pacific' this guide captures the U.S. military's rapid evolution into a global administrative force. It reflects the unique culture of post-1945 air travel where military transport ATC was the only reliable way to navigate the vast distances of the Pacific.<br /> <br /> The laid-in letter is particularly significant for its link to NAS Alameda and the Martin JRM Mars flying boats. By 1947 the Mars fleet named 'Hawaii' 'Philippine' 'Marianas' 'Marshall' and 'Caroline' was setting world records for passenger and cargo loads on the Alameda-to-Honolulu run. The letter's safety instructions represent the high-stakes reality of flying these 'Behemoths of the Bay'-vessels so large they were essentially flying ships.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: U.S. Army Air Forces Air Transport Command NAS Alameda Pacific Theater Logistics Martin JRM Mars Post-WWII Occupation Military Aviation Ephemera Travel Guides Military Manuals Ephemera Aviation History.<br /> <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: OCLC # Various only 2 institutional records found.

1901219711901. MilitaryNursingWomen in Medicine Military directive establishing the Army Nurse Corps 1901. General Orders No. 113. Headquarters of the Army Adjutant General's Office. Washington August 22 1901. Washington: War Department 1901. First edition. 10 pages. Bound with cloth tape lacking wrappers as issued. A foundational federal directive outlining the regulatory framework for the newly established Army Nurse Corps as authorized by Section 19 of the Act of February 2 1901-legislation intended to increase the efficiency of the U.S. military's permanent establishment. This pamphlet marks a critical milestone in the formal integration of women into the military medical apparatus and reflects early 20th-century gendered labor structures within federal institutions. It defines duties pay appointment qualifications leave policies and uniform standards for female nurses employed by the U.S. Army. Of particular historical note is its stipulation that the superintendent must be a graduate of a hospital training school emphasizing the formal credentialing of women in a field long dominated by informal care roles. The directive further outlines pay rates for chief and reserve nurses entitlements to quarters and medical care and the procedural logistics of leave and illness rendering it an early articulation of professional military nursing policy.<br /> <br /> The text includes sixteen numbered provisions covering areas such as applications for appointment travel reimbursements illness treatment and efficiency reporting. Paragraph 15 specifies the required uniform including "a waist and skirt of suitable white material adjustable white cuffs shoulder collar white apron and cap according to patterns prescribed by the Surgeon General's Office." Such mandates reinforce both the militarization and gendered expectations placed upon early 20th-century women in uniform. A marginal annotation in red ink on the cover notes that this issue was "amended by G.O. 54 W.D. 1908" signaling its eventual revision which adds bibliographic and institutional value for those studying the evolution of military nursing. Light toning. Red pen annotation on page one noting the order's amendment in 1908. Overall very good to near fine condition. A comprehensive government document that institutionalized women's medical labor within the Army. unknown
17320WWII-era photographs measuring 11.5" x 7.25" Multiple locations undated Ca. 1940s. With 67 photographs ranging in size from 3.5" x 2.5" to 5" x 4" of a serviceman and multiple generations of his family. Photo Album. U.S. Army Training Camp and Domestic Life in the American South circa 1940s. Oblong photograph album containing approximately estimate based on images shown original black-and-white vernacular photographs most snapshot size corner-mounted to black paper leaves. Circa 1940-1945.<br /> This photo album documents the intertwined military and domestic life of a white American serviceman during the World War II era combining images of U.S. Army training facilities with scenes of rural Southern family life. The military photographs depict a cantonment landscape of low wooden barracks dirt roads telephone poles and regimented formations of soldiers assembled outdoors. One sequence shows uniformed men standing in formation across an open parade ground while others capture military transport vehicles-open troop carriers filled with soldiers-moving through base streets lined with identical wood-frame buildings. Individual portraits show a soldier in full uniform posed formally in front of barracks and beside mid-1940s automobiles suggesting pride in service and upward mobility through military affiliation. A small chapel with a steeple appears prominently underscoring the role of religion in wartime military culture. Another building features an exterior metal slide descending from a second-story opening-likely part of a training or emergency drill structure-emphasizing the regimented preparedness of wartime camps.<br /> Interwoven with these military scenes are intimate images of domestic life: a woman and uniformed soldier standing together on the steps of a clapboard house; a couple tending a vegetable garden beside a brick home; a man seated in a wooden rocking chair reading a newspaper on a brick porch; and several rural outdoor scenes including hunting practice cooking over an open fire and resting beside a parked automobile in a wooded clearing. One photograph shows a small brick utility structure with a cupola and central doorway possibly a pump house or guard building with a suited man posed formally in its doorway-an image that contrasts sharply with the utilitarian wooden barracks of the training camp. A sequence labeled "Camp" partially visible in the images depicts a married couple posing with a wooden sign in a wooded recreational setting indicating leisure travel or stateside furlough during wartime. The album thus captures the dual identity of the mid-century American serviceman: disciplined soldier within the expanding military-industrial system and family member rooted in agrarian and small-town America. Historically the photographs reflect the rapid expansion of U.S. Army training installations in the early 1940s following mobilization after 1940 and especially after the United States' entry into World War II in December 1941. Temporary wooden cantonments-often constructed quickly and economically-became defining features of Southern and Southwestern landscapes. The imagery of standardized housing blocks troop transports and parade formations corresponds with this wartime infrastructure boom. Simultaneously the domestic photographs illustrate gender roles and social norms of the era: women appear primarily in domestic or garden settings while men are shown in uniform hunting or performing outdoor labor. The album therefore offers institutional collectors insight into the lived experience of wartime mobilization rural domestic culture and the social fabric of white middle- and working-class America during the WWII home-front era. As a cohesive vernacular record rather than an official military archive the album provides valuable visual evidence of how national service reshaped everyday landscapes and identities. Condition: Photographs are corner-mounted to black paper leaves; overall clean with minor silvering and light surface wear typical of mid-century snapshots. Album binding shows expected handling wear along edges but remains intact. Very good overall condition. unknown
22637No date but circa 1715 and amended until the mid-1720s. No place War Office London. The present early eighteenth-century document lists the heads of British Army regiments from the period of the Glorious Revolution to the accession of George I. Internal evidence suggests that it was compiled around 1715 and that it was amended until the mid-1720s. The care with which it was compiled over a decade and in a number of hands would appear to suggest some sort of official standing. It is on nineteen 18 x 7.5 cm leaves of laid paper formed in ten bifoliums now loose but originally bound together and with traces of thread still present. Aged and worn with slight loss to bottom inner corners of first five bifoliums not affecting any text.
