18592312111Syracuse: J.G.K. Truair & Co 1859. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Sabin 41824. 1860 edition with additional content. Boards lightly soiled a few pages faintly foxed. 1859 Hard Cover. x 454 pp. 8vo. This edition adds an appendix by Rev. E.P. Rogers a poem entitled Loguen's Position also by Rogers and two letters between J.W. and Sarah Logue the wife of his former master written in 1860: upon hearing of his book's publication Sarah demands financial compensation in exchange for "giving up all claim I have on you." His reply is quite a dignified one rebuking her for her outrageous demand and describing his new life "among a free people who I thank God sympathize with my rights and the rights of mankind." Loguen was an abolitionist and bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. He escaped slavery pursued higher education and opened several schools in central New York State. His Syracuse home was a stop on the Underground Railroad and the assistance he gave to other fugitive slaves is well-documented including a letter published in one of Frederick Douglass's papers.

1959134256Los Angeles: Pad-Ram Enterprises 1959. A collection of 8 vintage still photographs from the 1959 film. Included are 4 stills from the US release and 4 stills from the UK release under the title "Mr. Teas and His Playthings." From a cursory glance one can immediately see the differences with regard to nudity paid by both US and UK publicists the UK stills decidedly more liberal with regard to the "forbidden flesh."<br/><br/>The US stills were taken directly from scenes of the film and the UK stills appear to be from either a deleted scene or a mock setup designed for foreign publicity with Mr. Teas seen in a bathhouse with the "Buxom Bath House Beauties" Baby Dahl Chicky Fricase Frenchie Tost Teri Clawthe that were not seen in the final cut. The UK stills purport "Monstrous Murder!" and "Sizzling Suspense!" taglines however the final cut features neither murder nor suspense. <br/><br/>The story finds the shy Mr. Teas played by William Ellis Teas a door-to-door dental appliance salesman who has a chemical reaction with an anesthetic that allows him to have X-ray vision as in "seeing through women's clothes." He also overcomes all of his inhibitions leading to ribald encounters with his dental nurse his therapist his secretary a girl in a bar etc. <br/><br/>Russ Meyer's first feature produced by Pad-Ram Enterprises a monogram using the initials of director Russell Albion Meyer and producer Peter A. DeCenzie and the film that basically launched the lighthearted "nudie" pictures of the early 1960s. The film was immediately touted as "ribald" and "Frenchy" with regard to the "genuinely sexy sequences with generous expanses of attractive flesh" that used to be seen strictly in foreign films. At a time when Hollywood moguls were losing audiences to the comfort of in-home cinema through television Meyer and DeCenzie who spent years on the burlesque and night club circuits released an independent naturally sexy endeavor in the tradition of the great Chaplin films. The bigger productions companies would never have made a film as far overboard on sex. <br/><br/>For his debut Russ Meyer did even more of the crew work than usual shooting in four days during the spring of 1958 with a budget of $24000 ultimately making over $1.5 million worldwide. The film was marketed as a "nudist" film with a "French" sensibility but exhibited all the distinctive traits for which Meyer would soon become known including large bosoms insane plots a somewhat feminist perspective campy dialogue and guerilla cinematography. <br/><br/>Shot on location in various California destinations including Malibu Lagoon State Beach. Meyer even shot various scenes at his beach-front home in Los Angeles. <br/><br/>All stills 8 x 10 inches some differ slightly in size. Two US stills Very Good plus others Near Fine. UK stills Near Fine. Pad-Ram Enterprises unknown books

Autobiography of one of the most famous Texas outlaws. In the first issue a woodcut of Hardin's brother Joe appears on page three misidentified as John Wesley Hardin; in later issues a full-page portrait of Hardin has been inserted in its place. While some question the authenticity of this narrative as autobiography Adams notes that Hardin was not an illiterate gun slinger: "Hardin was not as illiterate as many believed; he taught frontier school as a young man and his study of the law while he was in prison no doubt improved his education."
