6720JOHN GIBBON 1827-1896. John Gibbon was a Major General who fought in the Indian Wars the American Civil War and the Great Sioux War. He fought in the Battle of Gettysburg and Second Battle of Bull Run. During his life he published his famous Artillerists Manual and posthumously Personal Recollections of the Civil War and Adventures on the Western Frontier along with many articles in magazines and journals. His writings typically center around his time in the West and his opinions on Native American government policies.Typescript. 5pgs. No date circa mid 1870s. No place. A typed outline of Rambles In The Rocky Mountains that was typed by either John Gibbon himself or his secretary. This series of articles was published in the American Catholic Quarterly Review in 1876 and included in a posthumously published book Adventures on the Western Front that depicts Gibbons time serving in the West during the 1870s. In this work Gibbons short and concise writing style gives the reader glimpses into his life and shows how time in the West was spent. Gibbon discusses the Pikes Peak emigrants in the second chapter of this work an event in the late 1850s where thousands of people left their homes to go to Pike Peak Colorado for the gold rush they were experiencing. Later he writes First news of the battle of Bull Run the first major battle of the Civil War. In chapter VII he references the Great Sioux War of 1876 a war between the U. S. and Native Americans as the government wanted ownership over the Black Hills a mountain range in South Dakota and Wyoming that is now home to Mount Rushmore. His depictions of these important events are dispersed throughout the script broken up with his day-to-day activities as a soldier and descriptions of the West. The typescript is in very good condition with light stains on the first page. unknown

Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is the most celebrated historical work in the English language. First published in three instalments between 1776 and 1788 it covers a period of thirteen centuries. The first installment traces the Empire from the Age of the Antonines to the growth and establishment of Christianity and the persecution its followers received in the reigns preceding Constantine; the second begins with the reign of Julian the Apostate and continues up to the conquest of the Roman territories in the West by the Goths Huns and Vandals; the last installment follows the Empire from Justinian to the taking of Constantinople by the Turks.<br /> <br /> Throughout its length The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is never routine always alert with humanity and intelligence and often surprising in its sympathies. Gibbon's genius as a prose stylist his breadth of knowledge his wit and energy combine to make the Decline and Fall one of the greatest narratives in European literature.<br /> <br /> This new edition provides the reader with the most accurate text of the Decline and Fall complete and unmodernized and illuminates it with an unrivalled wealth of related material. David Womersley's Introduction describes the development of the Decline and Fall as it moved from instalment to instalment and locates it in relation both to the events of Gibbon's life and to the Enlightenment culture within which it was written. The most substantial variants and the comments and notes Gibbon made in his own copies of the work are given in appendices. Also reprinted as an appendix is the famous Vindication<br /> 1779 in which Gibbon replied to the attacks on his treatment of Christianity. For the first time since Gibbon's death two hundred years ago a critical edition has been established.<br /> <br /> This third volume reprints the fifth and sixth volumes of Gibbon's work. The former is particularly concerned with the encounters between the dwindling and enfeebled Byzantine Empire and the vigorous new religion of Islam.<br /> The latter - perhaps the most varied and colourful of all - includes the Crusades the fall of Constantinople to the Turks and an overview of the medieval papacy.
