1912002650Cincinnati: By the Author 1912. First Edition. Good. Poster; 12 x 8; beige stock printed in black and illustrated with a photograph; paper fragile and age-toned; upper two corners clipped; old horizontal fold line with two thin closed cuts to edges; residue from a brown paper strip to upper margin of verso; in good to very good condition. A missing poster for two small children from Cincinnati it gave a detailed description of the two brothers the time they were last seen April 29 1912 and the speculation that "Hungarians" might have picked them up. Hungarian-Slovak gypsies emigrated to the US in the late-19th century primarily to Pennsylvania Ohio Michigan Illinois and New York. They would become well-known for making a living by playing music at cafes and restaurants and for being semi-permanently settled unlike the other nomadic Romani groups in the country including the Ludar the Romanichal the Black Dutch etc. Despite that the general perception of the gypsies' roaming lifestyle and strange and secretive culture gave way to widely-spreading antiziganism. An article in the Greenfield Republican from May 23 1912 stated that indeed Hungarian gypsies had been suspected of kidnapping the boys as the former had hurriedly left Cincinnati around the time of the disappearances but ultimately the children had been found by their father drowned in a feed-box in a stable.

Some rubbing to extremities with light wear to spine ends and corners heavier wear to fore-edges of boards. Text in neat hand to rectos and versos of all 500 pages. $650. This privately compiled record allows us to trace the daily work life of a police officer in Newark New Jersey in the years immediately preceding the riots of 1967. At this time Newark was coping with deindustrialization migration of the white middle class to the suburbs and an influx of poor African Americans who were confronted with housing and job discrimination. At the same time the composition of the city's government and police force was predominantly white. Compiled with great care it as both a log book and diary. Here is a list of typical entries: "Responded to Police Headquarters on a call from Lt. O'Leary of the night bureau. From there with Det. Thran to N.Y.C. to pick up prisoner" "Assigned to the New York Police Academy for school" "On duty with Det. Rolleri Lt. Pichel working desk in author's absence" "Assigned in uniform at 5:30am for detail at Newark Airport" "Attending seminar at Rutgers New Brunswick" "Returned to duty in the 1st squad from prosecutor's office" and "Home for working Saturday." He had a few interesting assignments. He was part of a "Special Detail guarding President Kennedy at Columbus Day Parade" and was part of a detail to "guard Sen. Humphrey" when he visited the city. However most of the entries chronicle crimes apprehensions arrests and responses to complaints. Many of these are cases of vandalism petty theft low-level violence and other "quality of life" issues that afflict cities in decline. unknown books
