1943111721New York: Random House 1943. First edition of Dahl's rare first book with 14 vibrant full-page illustrations by Walt Disney Productions. Quarto original half cloth pictorial endpapers. Presentation copy inscribed by Disney animator Bill Justice on the half-title page with a large drawing of a Gremlin "Sorry Ray That's a lousy Gremlin Bill Justice." Justice joined Walt Disney Studios as an animator in 1937 and worked on such features as Fantasia The Three Caballeros Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. He is arguably best known as the animator of the rabbit Thumper from Bambi and chipmunks Chip 'n Dale. He was the director of The Truth About Mother Goose Noah's Ark and A Symposium On Popular Songs all of which were nominated for Academy Awards as Best Short Subject Cartoon. In total Justice worked on 57 shorts and 19 features. Good in the rare original dust jacket with some chips and wear. Dahl was sent to Washington in 1942 as an assistant air attache for the British Embassy. After having a story published anonymously in the Saturday Evening Post he was encouraged by C. S. Forester. He produced The Gremlins a children's story expanding on a mythical creature enshrined for years in RAF lore notwithstanding Dahl's claims to have invented the word and sent it to Sidney Bernstein the head of the British Information Service who sent it on to Walt Disney. Disney decided to make it into a movie at one point bringing Dahl to Hollywood to work on the screenplay. The story was published in Cosmopolitan in December of 1942 and as a book by Random House six months later. The film project however was sidelined and has never been produced. The story was received positively: Eleanor Roosevelt read it to her grandchildren and invited Dahl to the White House. Random House hardcover books

Won't you be there & see what in you to receive a full attention of our class. Cardially yours Sa Chase Rev G W Punchard " Wikipedia: "Salmon Portland Chase January 13 1808 - May 7 1873 was an American politician and jurist who served as the sixth Chief Justice of the United States from 1864 to 1873. Earlier in his career Chase was the 23rd Governor of Ohio and a U.S. Senator from Ohio prior to service under Abraham Lincoln as the 25th Secretary of the Treasury. As Secretary of the Treasury Chase strengthened the federal government introducing its first paper currency as well as a national bank both during wartime. Chase articulated the "slave power conspiracy" thesis devoting his energies to the destruction of what he considered the Slave Power-the conspiracy of Southern slave owners to seize control of the federal government and block the progress of liberty. He coined the slogan of the Free Soil Party "Free Soil Free Labor Free Men". Chief Justice Chase presided over the Senate trial of Andrew Johnson during the President's impeachment proceedings in 1868. unknown books

1831008897Thibodeauxville 1831. Unbound. Good. This two-page folded letter measures 16" x 9.75" unfolded. The cover has no postmark nor rate mark so it is likely it was carried outside of official post office channels. The letter's paper is supple but it has developed splits along several folds so quite fragile. <br /><br />In this letter the Thibodeauxville Justice of the Peace seeks information about two men James Stewart and Joseph R. King he has arrested for horse theft and the probable murder of a watchmaker: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"There was a complaint . . . there were two men James Stewart and Joseph R King . . .of Suspicious Character that there were strong circumstances . . . they were guilty of Murder or horse stealing and probably both. . . . They started from Iberville with an old Dutchman a clock or watch repairer. . . . About two miles below Plaquemine the horse threw the Old man . . . and they took his horse . . . and Saddlebags and threw the old mans tools into the Mississippi. . . . The horse was found . . . and King and Stewart were arrested and are now in jail. I shall feel under obligations to any man that will give me information of the Old man whether he is dead or living or any other information that will serve to an expose the crimes which Stewart and King may have committed." <p>I could find no record that King and Stewart were ever brought to trial. Also neither name appears on the historical list of Louisiana executions. This does not mean that the pair were not convicted of murder. In the 1830s <br /><br />Louisiana was one of three states Alabama and Tennessee being the other two that changed their laws to give juries the complete discretion to sentence convicted murderers to punishments short of death. Some see Banner <i>The Death Penalty: an American History</i> have suggested that this was so that juries which at the time were composed only of white men could take race into account when they handed down sentences. Perhaps . . . but only two men were executed in Louisiana in 1831 one white and one black. <br /><br /> books
