Alfred Beckley May 26 1802 – May 26 1888 was a public official who founded Beckley West Virginia and a brigadier general in the Virginia militia during the American Civil War. He named the city of Beckley in honor of his father John James Beckleyab who was the first librarian of the United States Congress. Beckley was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point nominated for West Point by William Henry Harrison and President James Monroe; he entered on September 25 1819 and graduated on July 1 1823 ninth in a graduating class of 35. This class started with 86 cadets in 1819. He was in the army for 13 years serving the entire time as an artillery officer in Pennsylvania Florida Virginia and New York. In 1834–1835 after legal disputes Beckley received the title to 56679 acres his father had owned in western Virginia. In order to manage his inherited estates Beckley resigned his officer's commission on October 24 1836. He then settled in Fayette County now Raleigh County West Virginia which was then part of Virginia finding it a "perfect wilderness". His home named Wildwood was built in 1835–1836 expanded in 1874 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Beckley returned to military service as a brigadier general in the Virginia Militia from 1849 to 1861; serving out of loyalty to his state even though he strongly opposed its secession from the Union. By summer 1861 Beckley was in charge of the 12th Brigade of Virginia militia against Union troops at Cotton Hill West Virginia in the Kanawha Valley. This region was largely pro-Union and his militia was not highly motivated so Wise condemned Beckley's unit in August 1861. Thus it only served until October 1861 contributing little to the Confederate cause. He officially resigned his commission on February 8 1862. Returning to Union-occupied Beckley he surrendered to the Union officer in charge Rutherford B. Hayes on March 16–17 1862. He was then arrested by the Union army on April 3 1862 and sent first to the Atheneum prison camp near Wheeling West Virginia and then to Camp Chase near Columbus Ohio as a prisoner of war. He claimed that he was really pro-Union but had simply been loyal to Virginia and had severed all ties with the Confederacy. He was released on June 18 1862 and arrived back in Raleigh County on June 26 1862. Cecil DeGrotte Eby Jr. was a retired professor of English He was born in Charles Town West Virginia.

1908469579Oregon Hawaii 1908. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio. Measuring 8½" x 15". Quarter leather and black cloth with gilt decorations. Contains 250 sepia-toned albumen photographs measuring between ½†x ½†and 7½" x 9½" with captions. Very good album with worn edges rubbing and some removed pages with very good or better photographs with some fading.<br /> <br /> A photo album compiled by Eugenia Atkinson of Ashland Oregon beginning in 1889. The photographs featured here are views of Oregon California Missouri and Hawaii and do not appear to be in chronological order. Atkinson annotates the photos and includes handwritten captions throughout the album. She begins with images of her hometown with views of Ashland Creek Falls Crater Lakes and a local mill. Atkinson captured daily life in Oregon with images of picnics by the creek interior home scenes and fashionably dressed women posed for a group photo. Atkinson and her friends and family visit Honolulu Hawaii and she includes large format photos of the hotel where they stayed landscapes and local people. Another section of images depicts a trip to Missouri with images of a farm and friends' homes. Atkinson visits the coasts of California and Oregon photographing lifeguards practicing drills the Cliff House in San Francisco Newport Beach and Victorian beachgoers lying in the sand. Other photos show interiors of well-to-do homes portraits of friends family pets and a trip to Stanford. Towards the end of the album a train crash near Ashland is seen; another photo shows an arch constructed for a visit by President Roosevelt.<br /> <br /> Eugenia was the wife of English-born businessman W.H. Atkinson. According to the National Park Service after arriving in Oregon in 1874 Atkinson became “active in the town's principal industrial and banking enterprises†owning shares in the Ashland Flour Mill and the Ashland Woolen Manufacturing Company. He was one of the founders of the Bank of Ashland and helped organize the Ashland Library. Mr. Atkinson died relatively young at the age of 50 in 1894 and Eugenia spent the next 24 years in the house they had built in Ashland now on the National Registry of Historic Places. A photo dated 1889 shows Eugenia standing in front of her house. This album follows Eugenia during her widowhood during her travels and her activities within the community.<br /> <br /> A nice collection of photographs compiled by an important Oregon woman at the turn of the century. hardcover

In the current work Blanchard writing in the voice of a woman librarian looking back from 22nd century America envisions a future world made perfect through collectivization land reform the emancipation of women and - sigh - as in so many technological utopias of the period Eugenics: ".Can you imagine a greater folly than asylums and prisons.making more and more criminals more unfits and misfits being born each year then burdening society with their care and support When Altruism gained power we blotted out those hopelessly unfit to live.we removed the cause of crime and purged the nation of its defective taint." Such "blotting out" was a common dream among a certain class of pre-war scientists and physicians turned into a horrifying reality by the Third Reich. An uncommon work especially so in the dust jacket which is rarely seen. HANNA 362. NEGLEY 116. SARGENT p.98. Medical Success Press unknown

191385169Chicago: O. M. Heath & Co 1913. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19cm. Purple ribbed cloth spine and cover titles in gilt; 3031pp; portrait frontispiece and five unnumbered leaves of photographic plates halftones. A tight clean copy free of markings with just a hint of sunning to spine cloth; very Near Fine. <br /> <br /> A collection of six short tales each intended to illustrate a different aspect of "the prevalence of degeneracy in the modern era" jacket. Composts of Tradition was self-published and marketed aggressively in contemporary periodicals including The Masses and Pearson's; one such advertisement in the January 1915 issue of Pearson's outlines the book's intention: "It is not a book for prudes either male or female. It is a book for aggressive and advanced thinkers. Among other doctrines it advocates: 1 Sterilization of physical social and mental defectives; 2 Annihilation of the stigma attached to the bar-sinister; 3 Encouragement of reproduction upon the part of the fit; 4 Maintenance of all children by society; 5 Monogamy but marriage ceremonies to be optional not obligatory; 6 Divorce by collusion." At least one of the stories "Maid of the Neptunian Strand" has fantasy elements. <br /> <br /> Oscar Morrill Heath c.1872-1952 was a Chicago secondary school teacher and lecturer-for-hire on social subjects; beginning about 1905 through at least the 1920s we lose sight of him around 1930 he was the proprietor of a Chicago correspondence school for schoolteachers The Cultural Review School through whose auspices he issued a few ephemeral publications as well as a monthly magazine Teaching As A Profession. Additionally thanks to the trade card mounted in the front we know that Heath was the proprietor of at least two Chicago beauty parlors. From contemporary newspaper acccounts it appears that the current work landed Heath at least temporarily in hot water; the Chicago Tribune for November 6 1913 includes an article stating that Heath's status as an instructor at Englewood High School was "under review" pending publication of a book that was "critical of the nuptial bond" and seemed to condone childbirth out of wedlock. It is quite possible that Heath lost his position over the book as in subsequent years we find him advertising his services as a freelance instructor in a variety of topics including a review course in math for candidates to Army Officers' Candidate School during WW1. <br /> <br /> Despite its fetching title the current work is somewhat uncommon with fewer than 20 locations in OCLC most apparently in circulating collections.

TLS on letterhead “Copy†and Osborn’s initials in ink crease folds wear & minor tears at folds some age toning still VG- set. These two scarce original promotional brochure and TLS reflect the ongoing efforts by prominent eugenicist Paul Popenoe dubbed “the father of marriage counseling†to spread and inculcate followers into his racist eugenics policies. The letter to the YMCA at Brown University to drum up speaking tour dates from the Institute’s Educational Director Loran Osborn writes that “his Popenoe’s fee is $100 per day . . . and he is perfectly willing to speak two of three times in a day. . . .†His speaking subjects included “A Biological View of the Jewish Problem†“The Progress of Eugenics†“Should Women Compete with Men†and others in the same vein. Popenoe advocated sterilization for those who were deemed unfit to reproduce and marriage counseling for healthy “White†couples and whose lectures often stated that “continued limitation of offspring in the White race simily inites the Black Brown and other races to finish the work already begun by Birth Control and reduce the “Whites†to a subject race. Most of Popenoe’s beliefs became institutionalized into conservative Christian movements and evangelical churches in Southern California and his Institute of Family Relations influenced generations of marriage counselors.

From the California Academy of Sciences Jordan "was a widely revered ichthyologist founding president of Stanford University and intermittent president and curator of fish at the California Academy of Sciences. Perhaps less well-known however fairly well-documented was his leadership role in the American eugenics movement. Jordan believed that people with traits he deemed desirable deserve to have children. He thought that people he deemed "unfit" should not reproduce and in many cases should undergo compulsory sterilization—or be surgically prevented from having children even against their will. In addition to his beliefs and practices rooted in eugenics Jordan held other racist sexist ableist and colonialist ideas. Our research into the archives at the Academy and at Stanford revealed a fuller picture of the life of Jordan and his influence that affects the Academy and science as a whole to this day American Unitarian Association hardcover
