1940226451940.

Nisei soldiers serving in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the Military Intelligence Service played significant roles in combat operations in Europe and in intelligence translation work in the Pacific theater. At the same time their families and communities endured forced removal and incarceration under federal wartime policy. In the decades following the war Japanese American families rebuilt social networks reestablished businesses and professions and increasingly participated in civic life across the United States. Photographs documenting travel to symbolic national locations such as the United States Capitol reflect this period of renewed public presence and political engagement among Japanese Americans in the 1950s and 1960s. Minor edge wear and handling visible to several photographs with occasional annotations on the versos in Japanese and English; overall very good condition. This archive provides visual documentation of Japanese American wartime service and the reestablishment of civic identity during the postwar era. unknown

1932100747<p>New York November 14 1932. 1932. Very good. - Over 85 words typed on his 8-5/8 inch high by 6-1/2 inch wide "90 Broad Street" stationery. Addressing the young campaign volunteer Seymour J. Halpern William J. Donovan the future head of the Office of Strategic Services writes "We have been through a hard fight together. We did not win the title but we did a real job." He goes on to show his appreciation to the young autograph collector "I want you to know that I appreciate that the fight could not have been fought as it was if it had not been for your continued loyalty and support. Please accept this as my symbol of appreciation." Signed in full "William J. Donovan". Donovan ran for Governor of New York State to succeed FDR in 1932. A Republican he lost to Herbert Lehman. Folded in half for mailing the edges are soiled and there are tears to the edges of the fold. Very good.</p><p>To house his law firm in March of 1932 Colonel William J. Donovan leased a large suite of offices in the Stone & Webster Building at 90 Broad Street in New York City.</p><p>The American attorney diplomat soldier and intelligence officer William J. Donovan 1883-1959 is best known as the head of the OSS the Office of Strategic Services which was the war time precursor to the CIA. A veteran of World War I Donovan was awarded the Medal of Honor the Distinguished Service Cross the Distinguished Service Medal and the National Security Medal. In 1941 FDR established the Office of the Coordination of Information with Donovan as its director. Once the U.S. entered the war the COI became the OSS in June of 1942 with Donovan now a major general as its head. Donovan created the OSS as a military psychological warfare service to include both psychological and unconventional warfare. The service would soon include elements that would be called "special operations" the first phase of which would be intelligence penetration including research and analysis and propaganda followed by a second stage incorporating sabotage and subversion. This second stage would be followed by guerilla action commando raids and support of resistance movements.</p><p>An avid autograph collector in his youth the then 19-year old campaign volunteer the future Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.</p> [New York], November 14, 1932.

19430072801943. Hardcover. Cloth Box. Very Good. Inimitable and disarming tales that represent the pinnacle of outsider art and folk art with the naive drawings richly full of life as they speak of the daily routine at a British army camp during the Second World War from the point-of-view of a camp mascot cat who excels at mangling English in its creative attempts at phonetic spelling. Folios are oblong 41 by 30 cm each. The first folio contains "The Alterbyografy" a 56 pages long unpaginated with 54 illustrations including the folio cover 28 of which are full page 24 of which are half page. The second folio is entitled "Kamp Karacters" . This is 51 leaves with 92 illustrations including the cover 51 of which are full page 40 a third page generally with the area above entirely blank. Illustrations are rendered with colored pencil and crayon. The first manuscript is a continuous narrative of army life its humdrum rhythms and routines its various inanities its social life sports and other activities etc. while the second part is more character sketches. The second folio is even more visually driven than the autobiography. Another distinction between the two is that the autobiography is done with the leaves oblong while the character studies are applied with the leaves vertical. While one part isn't exactly a sequel to the other the two parts are truly complementary. The two folios are of a rough burlap material with a large title sheet mounted on their front cover. The folios have three flap folds to hold the loose sheets in plus ribbon ties on their right sides. hardcover

Blue cloth photograph album 124 silver gelatin photographs mostly 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" with 106 of them in corner mounts. A fascinating vernacular photograph album capturing scenes in American-occupied Japan just after the Second World War. Most of the photographs are captioned in white ink on the black album pages and organized in sections such as "Landmarks" "The People" "The Cities" “The Military” and “Personalities.” “Landmarks” include views of sites in Kokura Yakata Okayma Prefecture picturing shrines country homes water works the "International Military Tribunal Far East" and more. "The People" shows Japanese residents of all ages some in Western dress others in traditional Japanese garb standing in front of structures on the streets at a military checkpoint playing "yakkyu national game" baseball swimming and other activities. The section on the cities comprises street views in Okayama Kokura Fukuoka Hiroshima Yakata Tokyo Kyoto and Yokohama. Surprisingly the four shots of Hiroshima do not contain much evidence of destruction and provide a rare contemporary glimpse of areas of the city not leveled by Little Boy. Views of Tokyo include the Dai Ichi Building the Imperial Museum and an image of an American soldier "on the Ginza." The various views in the other cities show Japan's largest steel works a partially-demolished department store temples and the Yokohama wharf.

Depot" in Sobudai" and more. A handful of the captions and some of the loose photographs are captioned in Japanese. Some of the loose photographs are stamped on the verso "Jack Woytych" with his Wisconsin address though it is unclear whether this refers to the owner/photographer of the album or the printer of the photographs. Most of the loose photographs emanate from Okayama. A noteworthy collection of personal images from an American serving in Japan at the end of World War II. Moderate wear to the spine ends and spine panel light edge wear and rubbing to the extremities else a very good copy.
