Signed on the facsimile of the D-Day orders letter addressed to the "Soldiers Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!" / Includes a typewritten letter signed by Eisenhower on his personal letterhead: "Dear Mr. Bond: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the recent campaign I wish to add my own. "Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our fellow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help. "That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you and to ask for your continued support. "Sincerely Dwight D Eisenhower" / This edition includes the powerful letter Eisenhower drafted for D-Day and representing thus a key turning point in World War II. The letter opens with these lines: "You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. . ." He ends elegantly "Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Al-mighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." / "This stands head and shoulders above the other records of fighting men in its simplicity clarity and the illumination it throws on the basic human relations of the men at top. In his Normandy to the Baltic Montgomery wrote: - ‘We are still too close to attempt a critical analysis of the campaign.’ The same could be said of this book but in spite of that General Eisenhower manages to convey a sense of objective surveying of the forging of victory over the Germans. This is the real inside story of the war in Europe not in terms of jealousy and backbiting and gossip mongering but in terms of its planning its diplomacy its action and its victorious ending. More than that it is revealing of the greatness the modesty the statesmanship of one of America’s truly great men. This is more than a soldier’s story. It is the story of America’s contribution to victory of the splendid cooperation of the allies of campaigns in Africa Sicily Italy France and Germany." - Kirkus Reviews.

194659833451946. First Edition. good. Bank note signed by Dwight Eisenhower and Tom Davis a member of Eisenhower's staff for Alfred E. Patch a pilot in Alaska on August 6th 1946 in Nome. These signatures appear on the reverse of a 1936 $1 Silver Certificate. On the obverse are an additional 7 signatures dated Dec 1946. It is accompanied by Patch's pilot's log which has entries starting in April 1946 and ending in September 1973 with a laid-in note in rear. <br /><br />Eisenhower toured Alaska after the war to review the troops as the Cold War was ramping up. Alaska was an important bulwark against possible Soviet aggression at the time. Photographs from this trip can be found in the Cecil H. Kornegay Photography Collection held in Alaska's Digital Archive. A short snorter is a bank note signed by members of a group traveling or meeting together and used to memorialize the occasion. When departing each person would sign the bill. When you next met them you were to produce the note. If you could not show them you owed them a drink or "snort." The tradition was started by bush pilots in Alaska in the 1920s and spread with the growth of aviation culminating with the extensive use during WWII. books
4778As President Eisenhower drew our pencil sketch which was part of a group of four pencil sketches three on White House "Agenda" stationery. The President dated this sketch "Mar 11 57." Since the three other sketches in the original group of four were drawn during scheduled White House meetings is it possible that this sketch was also drawn at the White House but not during a scheduled meeting as suggested by the informal paper Ike uses The President had a busy morning of meetings and an evening reception at the Senate Office Building but according to his daily schedule he had an open afternoon. Like two of the other drawings in the group of four this sketch may also be golf related. The sketch is rendered in pencil on a 5 1/2 x 5 3/4 inch page perforated at center. unknown books
