Rebound in red cloth with gilt front board lettering with original stiff blue pictorial front wrapper bound in. 79pp. Frontispiece illustrations linoleum-block engravings small color foldout map at rear. Very good. Binding rather edgeworn and a bit rubbed mainly along spine; original front wrapper and text block quite nice and tight; foldout map at rear bears some discreet archival mends on verso; mild ex-library with very few markings. Tight and decent first edition of this Federal Writers' Project city guide long thought to have been written anonymously by the then-obscure young writer Nelson Algren 1909-81 who went on to far greater fame as the “Poet of the Chicago Slums†author of “The Man with the Golden Arm†1949 and other classic Chicago fiction. One of the most desirable of the WPA city guides. The Richard Delson plates are simple but striking and powerful; the often-absent color map at rear is bright and handsome. And while Jerre Mangione's "The Dream and the Deal: The Federal Writers' Project 1935-1943 1972 repeats Algren's exaggeration that he wrote the "Galena Guide" historian Richard F. Bales tackles this issue anew relying on primary source material and close textual analysis in his essay "Who Wrote the Galena Guide" pp. 180-194 in his 2024 "Nelson Algren: His Life Work and Colleagues" to persuasively settle the issue. He finds Algren's claim inaccurate and misleading concluding that "Algren edited the the Guide he even revised and rewrote the Guide." Deaccessioned from the library of the very city it celebrates.

193459455Portland OR: Public Works Administration; Six Companies Inc. May 1934 - Sept. 1937. Folio. 51 original negatives nearly all w/ captions w/in negative at lower fore-edge 50 panoramics sized 4 x 12 in. 1 sized 3.5 x 4.75 in. almost all w/ neat photographer’s initials & name in lower corner as well as dated. All preserved in archival sleeves and recent black 10-ring binder. This extraordinary archive of panoramic photo negatives documents the building of the Bonneville Dam the second of the large New Deal dam building projects on the Columbia River shot by a largely unknown Public Works Administration photographer for the Six Companies Inc. As one of the most successful New Deal agencies created by Roosevelt’s National Industrial Recovery Act this one was headed by Harold Ickes and emphasized large scale public works projects such as dam building bridge building and more to revive the economy. These negatives open by documenting the future dam site located 40 miles east of Portland OR & Vancouver WA with Bradford Island separating the Spillway Dam North of the Island from the Powerhouse and Navigation Lock South of the Island. The negatives depict the Power House Area as construction begins the Contractor’s Camp No. 1 and Engineer’s Camp Areas followed by several as railroad trestles for hauling gravel rock cement and supplies are constructed the coffer dam built and initial construction. Also depicted are the massive walking draglines used by the Columbia Construction Co. comprising Utah Construction Co. Morrison-Knudsen Henry J. Kaiser MacDonald & Kahn and Bechtel Corp. as they employed barge-mounted derricks dredges Bucyrus-Monighan 8-cubic-yard walking draglines LeTourneau “Buggy†Wagons and Cat Diesel 75 crawler tractors. These images offer a nearly time-lapse effect racing the monthly progress of the construction. By 1935 the Power House was udner accelerated construction the Spillway appears with railcars delivering construction materials and workers and by 1936 massive steel beams were being installed into the Power House. Another photo shows the Tanner Creek Railroad Viaduct curving through the image including the Construction Worker’s quarters hatchery complex and fish ladder. Still others show the Ship Locks & Power House under construction views of the massive project from a distance up on the bluffs of the Columbia River Gorge as well as closer shots. The nearly final images show not only the completed dam but dedication by President Franklin D. Roosevelt Sept. 28 1937 and the finished Spillway with the river filling behind the dam. The Bonneville Power Administration was created by Congress in 1937 to market and sell the power produced by the Bonneville Dam. The first completed power house lock and spillway dam began providing electricity for the Bonneville Power Administration in 1938 improved river navigation and gave rise to the Pacific Northwest aluminum industry which was critical for Boeing during World War II producing aircraft for the war effort. The Public Works Administration proved to be one of the most successful New Deal programs was much less controversial than the Works Progress Administration which focused on employing unskilled workers and generating a host of projects to employ many under utilized professionals and artists during the Depression. Although the photographer remains largely obscure with Library of Congress Univ. of Washington Univ. of Oregon & Oregon Historical Society listing some of his 8 x 10 images and three large panoramas it is apparent in this collection from the final negative he also took photos for the P.W.A. and Six Companies at the Grand Coulee Dam project. Oliver’s 1894-1975 was a carpenter and contractor originally from Montana who by 1920 was working in Portland OR. Although he does not appear in the 1930 census his World War II registration handwriting which lists him working for the Ross B. Hammond Contractors in Troutdale OR matches many of the lettering in the captions of the negatives. The Hammond Co. also worked as the general contractor for the Oregon State Capitol Building in Salem and the company contracted out many of their workers to Bechtel Corp. & Morrison-Knudsen during the Great Depression. Oliver appears to have used a Connley Panoramic Model A Camera which produced a 140 degree 3.5-3.75 x 12 in. negative on standard 103 roll film and was marketed through Sears Roebuck & Co. See: R.W.

Unbound as issued. 4 last blank p. <p><br /> Unrecorded 1613 circular from Salamanca enforcing the Armada-era servicio de millones Spain’s foundational fiscal levy.<br /> <p><p><br /> This printed circular addressed to the municipal authorities of the Villa de Granadilla district of Salamanca and dated 14 February 1613 was issued by the royal commission for the servicio de millones. It instructs the council to review the first two years of collection deposit surpluses and use them to cover future shortfalls thereby avoiding new sisas consumption levies. From 1 April 1613 only the necessary taxes were to remain with any excess applied to public benefit. The order mandates detailed accounting before a scrivener and imposes fines for neglect. Signed by royal and municipal officers including Bernardino de Zúñiga and Francisco de Medina y Paz.<br /> <p><p><br /> The servicio de millones was an indirect tax introduced by Felipe II approved by the Cortes de Castilla on 4 April 1590 originally conceived to raise eight million ducados over six years to finance the royal expenditure associated with the Armada Invasion of England and other military commitments. Rather than remaining temporary it evolved into a regular levy on six staple items—wine oil vinegar meat soap and tallow candles—becoming embedded in Castilian fiscal practice. Over time the burden of collection shifted to local authorities and consumption-based levies sisas increased exacerbating pressure on towns and rural communities. The document therefore captures a moment when the Habsburg fiscal state under Felipe III was consolidating central control over municipal finances demanding proper accounting and deposit of surpluses and trying to prevent over-taxation—reflecting broader patterns of state building fiscal strain and local reticence in early-seventeenth-century Spain.<br /> <p><p><br /> Reference: Yun Casalilla B. 1987.
