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

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

Gray wraps with color illustration. x 123 pages: diagrams maps. Operation Overlord was the codename for the Battle of Normandy the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. The operation was launched on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings. A 1200-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving more than 5000 vessels. Nearly 160000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June and more than two million Allied troops were in France by the end of August. The Falaise Pocket or Battle of the Falaise Pocket German: Kessel von Falaise; 1221 August 1944 was the decisive engagement of the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War. A pocket was formed around Falaise Calvados in which the German Army Group B with the 7th Army and the Fifth Panzer Army formerly Panzergruppe West were encircled by the Western Allies. The battle is also referred to as the Battle of the Falaise Gap after the corridor which the Germans sought to maintain to allow their escape. The battle resulted in the destruction of most of Army Group B west of the Seine which opened the way to Paris and the Franco-German border for the Allied armies on the Western Front. The Battle of the Bulge also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. It was launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in eastern Belgium northeast France and Luxembourg towards the end of the war in Europe. The offensive was intended to stop Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines allowing the Germans to encircle and destroy four Allied armies and force the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis powers' favor.

1946190508Washington DC: US Government Printing Office 1946. Presented to his "oldest and best friend" a key commander at D-Day First edition presentation copy specially bound for Leonard T. Gerow and inscribed by Eisenhower on the initial blank "To 'Gee' one of the outstanding battle leaders of World War II with the admiration and gratitude of his old friend Ike". Gerow 1888-1972 was in command of the V Corps at Omaha Beach on D-Day and became the first American general to enter Paris after its liberation in 1944. "Gerow was his oldest and best friend in the theater and V Corps headquarters would provide a haven in moments of anxiety more than once" Eisenhower p. 176. The careers of the two men were closely intertwined. "Eisenhower and Gerow were opposites. Gerow trim and meticulous was a chronic worrier. Eisenhower hale and robust had a gregarious and confident manner. But the two men shared similar thinking and tastes and had similar prewar professional reputations as staff officers. In the summer of 1916 Eisenhower and Gerow had first served together in the 19th Regiment based at San Antonio. In 1926 they had been classmates at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff School. They had formed a two-man study group in Eisenhower's tiny attic" Eisenhower pp. 176-7. It was Gerow that introduced Eisenhower to his future wife Mamie. Gerow originally headed the War Plans Division until the role was reassigned to Eisenhower due to Gerow's failure to foresee Pearl Harbour. Eisenhower was gracious to Gerow acknowledging it was only fortune that led to his taking the position; afterwards Eisenhower's career was to inevitably eclipse that of his old friend but Gerow still rose to a highly respected position eventually leading the Fifteenth and Second Armies. The book prints Eisenhower's official report of his role leading the Allied liberation of western Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Eisenhower had copies bound for presentation to close family and military leaders the Eisenhower library have his brother's copy in the same binding; we could trace no other example on the market. Folio. Original black morocco front cover lettered in gilt silk endpapers. Housed in a custom black cloth solander box. With 11 colour maps of European battle theatres. Spine and front inner hinge neatly repaired light rubbing and wear at extremities. A very good copy. David Eisenhower Eisenhower at War 1986. hardcover
