19396040Atlanta: Commission on Interracial Cooperation 1939. Near fine. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Minimal wear. A small leaflet printing an address by John Wesley Dobbs on the "Wings Over Jordan" radio program on the Columbia Broadcasting System on New Year's Day 1939. John Wesley Dobbs an African American activist based in Atlanta worked for thirty-two years as a railway mail clerk and served for almost as long Grand Master of the Prince Hall Masons of Georgia. He was a founder in the 1930s and 1940s of organizations promoting Black voter registration in Atlanta. Maynard Jackson the first African-American mayor of Atlanta was his grandson. According to his entry in the New Georgia Encyclopedia Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at his funeral and Thurgood Marshall was a pallbearer. <br /> <br /> In the present address Dobbs celebrates January 1 as Emancipation Day mentioning the same day in 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was officially issued by President Lincoln. He details the long history of African Americans in the New World beginning with Alonzo Pietro of the Columbus expedition. He thereafter expounds upon the importance of African Americans in the history of the country with paragraphs focused on assertions such as "We have helped to build America" "We have bled and died for American Democracy" "We have made progress in education" and more. He also speaks about African-American service in the Civil War mentions educators such as Booker T. Washington J.B. Watson and Fletcher Henderson. Ultimately he answers the question "What does the Negro want and deserve" by referencing the four words carved over the Supreme Court: "Equal Justice Under Law." <br /> <br /> OCLC reports just two copies of this rare radio speech at the Bancroft and the University of Georgia.

189064215Fairhaven WA: Webster & Pierce the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast ca. 1890. One oblong 4to. original albumen photograph sized 9.25 x 7.5 in. mounted on 11 x 9.5 beige studio board date in ink below image on recto photographer’s imprint on verso 2 different ink manuscript notes offsetting from removed black paper backing very minor tidemark at fore-edges still a VG sharp image with excellent contrast. An exceedingly scarce original albumen photographic birdseye photo of Fairhaven WA just a year after statehood. During the 1870s up through the mid-1880s Fairhaven actively competed with Seattle Bellingham and Sehome as the potential terminal of the Great Northern Railroad even after it was decided Seattle would take precedence. Fairhaven exploded within just a couple years from the competitive real estate railroad building boom in the Pacific Northwest prior to the 1893 bust which caused tremendous economic dislocation and real estate empires to dissolve. This image captures the fast developing hillsides soon after they were stripped of timber and scraggly treeline topping the ridge in the background. The smoke blowing across downtown appears to have drifted from the far right of the photograph obscuring the Fairhave Hotel designed by Longstaff & Black and completed by 1890 for Nelson Bennett and C.X. Larrabee. In 1903 the cities of Whatcom Sehome & Whatcom Fairhaven and Bellingham which shared a street grid and electric streetcar system merged through a general election to become the present day city. Webster & Pierce established their photographic partnership about 1889 and by 1892 had dissolved with very few records detailing their subsequent careers except for Wesley Pierce becoming owner and operator of Waldrip Oyster Co. in Seattle by 1899. No similar examples in institutional holdings. Webster & Pierce, the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast, unknown

John Wesley Powell 1834-1902 was an American explorer Civil War veteran scientist and public intellectual best known for leading the first successful expeditions through the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon in 1869 and 1871-72. Having lost his right arm at the Battle of Shiloh Powell became a symbol of postwar scientific exploration combining firsthand fieldwork with rigorous analysis of the American West. As second director of the U.S. Geological Survey and longtime head of the Bureau of American Ethnology he argued that western settlement should be planned around watersheds and water availability rather than arbitrary political boundaries.

18551677Washington: A.O.P. Nicholson Printer 1855. First edition. Hardcover. Good. John Wesley Powell's copy of Volume II of these 1853-54 reports with his stamp faintly in purple ink on the title page. A good only copy with dampstaining throughout but collectible in light of its owner who famously would go on to survey and provide his own report on the Grand Canyon. These 1853-54 reports were issued somewhat haphazardly in 12 volumes apparently as they were received rather than by region. Volume II contains the following: 1 "Report by Lieutenant E.G. Beckwith Third Artillery upon the Route near the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth Parallels Explored by Captain J.W. Gunnison Corps of Topographical Engineers" Gunnison was killed on the journey; 2 "Report of Lieutenant E.G. Beckwith . . . upon the Route near the Forty-First Parallel"; 3 Report of a Reconnaissance from Puget Sound via South Pass to the Mississippi River by F.W. Lander Civil Engineer"; 4 "Report of Brevet Captain John Pope Corps Topographical Engineers upon the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel Lying between the Red River the Colorado and the Rio Grande"; 5 "Report of Lieutenant John G. Park Corps Topographical Engineers upon the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel Lying between the Rio Grande and Pimas Village on the Gila"; and 6 "Extract from Report of a Military Reconnaissance Made by Lieutenant Colonel W.H. Emory U.S. Army of the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel Lying between the Mouths of the San Pedro and Gila Rivers." Among several of the later reports are botanical sections by Asa Gray and John Torrey. These are replete with nice line-drawing botanical plates. In the first Beckwith report J.M. Stanley provides a series of beautiful vista illustrations in color of the Gunnison route. Near the rear are a fold out map and a fold out geological section depicting the stretch between the Colorado River "Red River and the Rio Grande. A contemporary binding of red cloth and quarter/corner leather with five raised bands and gilt lettering on spine. Red marbled endpapers. Again good only with dampstaining to all corners of the pages top and bottom see photos. The pages have some light waviness to them but turn fine and are readable the text itself mostly free of staining. Mottling on front board wrinkle on rear. Rubbing to board edges and nicks to spine corners as one might expect for a heavy book of this age. Despite its condition still a special copy--Powell's. The inclusion of the Colorado River in the fourth report in the volume would have ultimately been of special interest to him and one imagines the example of these reports would have influenced his own.

194945468Salt Lake City Utah: Utah State Historical Society 1949. First edition thus. Hardcover. 270; 540 1 pp. Octavo 23 cm Pebbled burgundy cloth over boards with gilt lettering on the spines and front covers. Very good condition. The front pastedowns have a previous owner's bookplate. From the introduction- "More than three-quarters of a century has passed since Major John Wesley Powell's parties began their exploration of the Colorado River country yet the records of the Powell exploration have a freshness an immediately contemporary interest that few records in the annals of American exploration still possess. Roads even superhighways have been built into the most parched of the West's deserts and over or through its most formidable mountain barriers but one who would know the Colorado country must still penetrate it as Powell and his men did in 1869 and 1871-72 by taking to boats or resorting to pack trains.
