"A narrative in which is described many things relating to the early Southwest with an account of the fight between Indians and buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls and the desperate engagement at Buffalo Wallow for which Congress voted the Medal of Honor to the survivors." Born in West Virginia in 1850 Billy Dixon lived in Missouri from 1862 until 1865 when he took a job with a freight contractor as a bull-whacker and mule-skinner in Kansas. He freighted throughout western Kansas and Nebraska and eastern Colorado for 4 years. In 1869 Dixon joined a hunting and trapping venture in the Saline River Valley northwest of Fort Hays.

Billy Dixon was one of 28 men and 1 woman who fought off a large party of hostile Indians in the second Battle of Adobe Walls. He scouted for Gen.

Purple mourning lines frame the edges of the 4 pages of card stock which is bound at the top with red cotton ribbon.<p>The tradition behind the burial of the algebra was sort of a light hazing ritual performed by freshmen students. Thirty days after arriving at Bard the freshmen were to steal an algebra book which they were to then sign and bury with several bottles of wine. Then the night before commencement the students now seniors would dig it up and consume the wine raising a toast to their graduating class. The ritual is described as follows in a 1930 issue of the Lyre Tree a student newspaper: "There is a tradition of long standing at St. Stephen's that within 30 days after the close of the first semester the Freshman class shall with all the ritual and solemnity due to the occasion secretly inter an algebra autographed by each member of the class and with it a certain quantity of wine. To be legal every Freshman must be at the grave during the burial. At the end of the four years the algebra is exhumed and burned on a funeral pyre during the Class Day exercises. Toasts are drunk to the college and to the outgoing and incoming Senior class."<p>"St. Stephen's College was established as a Training College for the Ministry and as such it was requested to make an annual report to the Convention of the Diocese of New York. The object was the supervision of the young men who had devoted themselves to the ministry of the Church. It was afterwards opened to any who would not disturb the general purpose for which it was originally instituted." Quoted from "The Thirty-First Annual Catalogue of St. Stephen's College Annandale N.Y. 1892-93".<p>The land now owned by Bard College was once composed of several country estates Blithewood Bartlett Sands Cruger's Island and Ward Manor/Almont among them. John & Margaret Bard purchased a part of the Blithewood estate in 1853. Renaming the property as Annandale they established a parish school the following year. They then began building the Chapel of the Innocents next to Bard Hall in 1857 and the following year donated the unfinished Chapel and surrounding acreage to New York's Episcopal diocese which had promised financial support to grow the school into a theological college. St. Stephen's College was thus founded in 1860. In honor of its founder the school changed its name to Bard College in 1934. Ten years later in 1944 Bard became a co-educational school welcoming female students and faculty. Annandale, NY: 1890 through 1896. [1890's] paperback

Blue cloth titles stamped in gold gilt on the front cover and spine. 320 pages. Numerous b/w photographs.</p> <br /> <p>Dixon was born in Ohio County West Virginia on September 25 1850. He was orphaned when he was 12 years-old and sent to live with uncle in the fall of 1864. He worked as a woodcutter along the Missouri River and later worked as a government contractor in Kansas. He tried a couple other jobs but in the winter of 1868 he "joined a group who were hunting and trapping on the Saline River northwest of Fort Hays Kansas." For a short time Billy had a ranch supply store with a partner manager who sold the merchandise and departed with the money. Billy returned to hunting buffalo sometimes having 4-5 hunters/skinners working for him." In 1872 Billy had moved to Dodge City and in the fall and winter in 1872 and 1873 marked the beginning of the "high tide of buffalo hunting and they were killed by the thousands. "Early in the morning of June 27 1874 a combined force of some 700 Comache Cheyenne Koowa and Arapho warriors led by Comanch Chief Quanah Parker and Isa-tai attacked the buffalo camp at Adobe Walls the second battle of Adobe Walls. It was in this battle that Dixon and 26 addition men and one women were forced into two stores and a saloon to stand off the Indians. It was here that Dixon became a hero when he supposedly knocked an Indian off his horse from nearly a mile away. The battle for Adobe Walls came to an end. A few months later Dixon and a group of six other men were attacked by Indians. Dixon and his men took shelter in a buffalo wallow. For three days they managed to hold off the Indians. One man was killed and the remaining six were wounded before the Indians turned away because of freezing rain. Dixon and the other survivors of "The Buffalo Wallow Fight" were awarded the Medal of Honor. Dixon continued to work with the Army until 1883 when the returned to civilian life. He married Olive King Dixon and they had seven children. On March 9 1913 he died of pneumonia. His remains are now interred at the Adobe Walls site. Much of the above information was gained from Kathy Weiser/Legends of America updated June 2017 either quoted or paraphrased. She has done a wonderful job summarizing the life of Billy Dixon and deserves credit for it.</p> . unknown

19586139071958. Unbound. Very Good. A small collection of correspondence between Yale professor and Ezra Pound scholar Donald Gallup and writer editor and friend of Pound Joseph Bard including an excerpt of a talk Bard gave involving personal anecdotes of Pound.<br /> <br /> At the center of the collection is a mimeographed excerpt of an address given by Bard at the Institute of Hispanic Studies in Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife on the 28th of February 1957 titled "The Dynamism of a New Poetry"; the excerpt includes the "central section containing reminiscences of Pound from total of 15 numb. leaves" Gallup's typed note. The excerpt contains pages five to nine five leaves each printed on the recto with about a paragraph of text on the versos with the addition of a cover sheet and a page of typed notes only partially related to the address some of the notes here appear in Gallop's bibliography on Pound. This was sent along with a short typed letter dated October 3 1958 "Dear Mr. Gallup at the request of Mr. Charles Hamilton I am sending you a copy of my lecture in Spain on 'New Poetry.' It was discussed on Madrid Radio and . Ezra said in a letter which you probably possess that it was the best introduction to m.p. yet. Sorry about this torn copy but it is the only one I have." The letter is signed by Bard and in his hand is written "N.B. Hurrah! I have found a clean copy!" though this copy is not present here.<br /> <br /> The excerpt speaks of Bard's time spent with Pound and their correspondence. Bard writes "I had an introduction to him from a literary friend but this was never used because on seeing me on the sea-shore he greeted me at once as a long-lost brother.†He goes on to describe how Pound wore a black corduroy suit gifted to him by W.B. Yeats. He briefly describes walks he Pound and Yeats would take in Rapallo and describes Pound's bluntness and passion for intellect "But above all things he Pound was interested in living and dedicated minds and had but contempt for the average commercial man and said with Machiavelli: li uomini vivono in pochi gli altri son pecorelli" which roughly translates to "A few men live the rest are sheep."<br /> <br /> Bard goes on to discuss his correspondence with Pound which began in 1927 shortly after Bard's marriage fell apart Bard describes his mood as "greatly perturbed" and that Pound's advice at the time was simply "Joseph practice polygamy." In another letter Pound writes "‘Oh if only you had translated Frobenius when it was offered to you in 1932 you would have saved the lives of two million human beings†this refers to the work of ethnologist Leo Frobenius who Pound would eventually meet and become "great friends" with. The most colorful anecdote in the talk does not involve Pound but rather someone Pound introduced Bard to the writer Natalie Barney:<br /> <br /> "Such was the introduction to Natalie Barney's salon in the Rue Jacob Paris this Lady being the well-known 'Amazon' the friend of Remy de Gourment's a salon where our Junoesque hostess ruled supreme over the lions and lionesses of art letters and drama—and where we were ceremoniously taken to the 'Temple d’Amour' and where the very sacharin sic was taken out from a book-shaped little etui by chubby Salomon Reinach" Reinach was an influential French archaeologist and religious historian. It's likely that Bard made a mistake here though and was actually referring to Barney's "Temple d’Amitie" which translates to "Temple of Friendship."<br /> <br /> The address continues to quote Bard's correspondence with Pound before getting into Pound's actual work at which point the excerpt cuts off. Included is a copy of Gallup's reply to Bard dated October 14 1958 expressing his delight at receiving a copy and commenting on Pound's recent hospital release "What a relief it is to have Pound out of St. Elizabeth's and at Brunnenburg! The change will of course have a tremendous influence on his work." Also included is a Spanish newspaper clipping discussing Bard's talk and a second letter from Bard dated October 27 1958 asking Gallup if he "could put me in touch with somebody in the U.S.A. who would be interested in the broadcasting of short-stories already produced by the B.B.C. Third." Enclosed is a clipping from Radio Times with the title "A Boyhood by the Danube" discussing the broadcast presentation of Bard's story "The Tale of a Child" which tells of Bard's childhood growing up in Hungary.<br /> <br /> Altogether the collection consists of two short typed letters a one page letter 5¼" x 6¾" and a two-page letter on a single leaf 5¼" x 7" when folded from Joseph Bard both Signed both include newspaper clippings; the mimeographed excerpt 8½" x 11"; a short one-page typed letter from Donald Gallup 5½" x 8½"; two envelopes addressed to Gallup and a typed receipt of the lecture "Gift of Dr. Joseph Bard . for the Ezra Pound Collection in the Y.C.A.L."<br /> <br /> OCLC locates two holdings of this talk under its Spanish title "El Dinamismo de Una Nueva Poesia" at Yale and UT-Austin but they date the conference as being held on March 8 1957. The publication of this talk is listed at B59 in Donald Gallup's bibliography of Pound which states "Published March 1957; number of copies unknown." The entry goes onto describe a reproduction of a letter from Pound to Bard dated December 17 1932 that apparently goes with the published talk; part of that entry is found in the additional page of notes included here in the mimeographed excerpt.<br /> <br /> All of the material has some toning and light wear a paperclip mark and tearing at the top of the mimeograph excerpt overall very good; though it should be noted that towards the bottom of each page is an additional layer of text printed in blue ink upside down and mirrored reproducing a portion of the text found elsewhere on the page.<br /> <br /> An interesting bit of writing concerning Ezra Pound along with the brief correspondence of two men of letters both connected to Pound in different ways. unknown
1764838641764. BARD Samuel. ALS to John Bard 5 May 1764 Edinburgh. Folded sheet 4pp. Mild foxing old tape repairs to pp. 3/4 hole in paper where seal was broken with minor loss of text. Accompanied by three prints with some minor dampstaining. Overall very good. Bard 1742-1821 son of New York physician John Bard took his medical degree in Edinburgh and studied there between 1761 and 1765 before returning home and joining his father's practice. He went on to found the first medical hospital in New York and to briefly serve as George Washington's private physician. This letter however is a chatty missive of a young student to his parents thanking his mother for a box of sweetmeats updating his father on a deal to purchase land in Montpellier France and asking for money to pay his food bills from the previous winter. The final page turns to explaining that the final week of the semester has been so busy he cannot possibly write any more news. This letter is accompanied by three prints: two views of Columbia College c. 1831 where Bard had established a medical school founded on the Edinburgh model and one portrait of Samuel Bard. unknown
