1942218661942. African American MilitaryWWIIPearl Harbor Navy Department News Bulletin and Press Release documents a pivotal wartime record of shifting racial attitudes in the United States Navy distinguished by its formal acknowledgment of Doris "Dorie" Miller's heroism at Pearl Harbor. Issued between April 3 and April 7 1942 the documents announce that the Navy would begin accepting "Negro volunteers for general service" beyond the restrictive Messman Branch marking a significant institutional response to mounting public pressure for racial equality in the U.S. Armed Forces. The bulletin prominently recounts Dorie Miller's actions during the December 7 1941 attack when he manned a machine gun under fire despite not being formally trained for combat duty. Between this expansion of Black enlistment and official commendation of Miller's bravery the publications capture a moment when African American military service and sacrifice forced a public confrontation with the Navy's segregationist structure.<br /> <br /> Navy Department. Navy News Bulletin. Washington D.C.: Office of Public Relations Analysis Section April 3-7 1942. Together with: Navy Department. "Navy to Accept Negroes for General Service." Washington D.C. April 7 1942. Two mimeographed typescripts. Navy News Bulletin is nine pages approximately 14 x 8½ inches with contemporary handwritten annotations in ink and red marker; press briefing measures approximately 10½ x 8 inches. On page four of the buletin Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox is quoted commending the "22-year-old Texan" for "distinguished devotion to duty extraordinary courage and disregard of his own personal safety" noting that Miller "protected a machine gun until ordered to leave that bridge." The bulletin further acknowledges that more than three months elapsed before Miller's identity became public underscoring the Navy's initial reluctance to spotlight Black heroism. The press release states that "the same physical and mental entrance standards required of all Navy personnel is to be required of Negroes" assigning enlistees to District craft Navy Yards and construction units building bases beyond the continental United States while continuing recruitment for the Messman Branch.<br /> <br /> The significance of Miller's inclusion in this report cannot be overstated: his public recognition became a rallying point for African American newspapers and civil rights advocates demanding equitable treatment and expanded combat roles for Black servicemen. Issued only four months after Pearl Harbor and at the outset of expanded mobilization these documents illustrate the Navy's cautious but progressing racial policy under the pressures of domestic civil rights activism. Light creasing handling wear and minor corner dog-ears; annotations remain clear and text fully legible. Overall condition very good. Two consequential Navy records linking Black war hero Dorie Miller's celebrated act of valor to the early wartime transformation of Black naval service. unknown

Miller's appreciation of his friend Afred Perles one of the Villa Seurat gang who appears as the infamous Carl in Quiet Days in Clichy.<br /> <br /> Inscribed on the ffep: "For Isaac B. Singer my beloved author along with Knut Hamsun and Blaise Cendrars. Blessings on you! Henry Miller 12/10/79". Henry Miller and Isaac B. Singer were keen admirers of each other's work going back to the 1960s when Miller wrote to Singer: "I finished Family Moskat the other night feeling as if I had lived through 500 years of Jewish history myth legend torture and humiliation. It was a real feast." He regularly referred to Singer as his favorite American writer and kept up their correspondence throughout the seventies - going so far as to petition Singer among others to write a few lines to the Academy on his behalf - the very same year that Singer himself won the Nobel. Among Singer's papers is draft of a short piece entitled "Ten Reasons I Admire Henry Miller" and he wrote to Miller in response to receiving another of his Books of Friends "I'm an ardent reader of yours and admirer. Whatever you write is human rich in individuality and love. I often envy your really altruistic and giving nature. Please continue to write your memoirs. And continue to live a long and creative life" Sept. 9 1976. <br /> <br /> A great association from two giants of American letters. Capra unknown

18700008029Fort Edward New York. Fair. 1870. On offer is an absolutely fascinating scrapbook that belonged to Jahu DeWitt Miller. Dated 1876 it was put together when Miller was 19 and working as a lecturer and teacher at the Fort Edward Institute in upstate New York. The book measures 7 inches by 5 and 3/4 inches. The binding on the book is broken and the pages are loose. However they are intact and contain a veritable goldmine of notes jotting etc. There are an estimated 100 pages and of these and estimated 80% are complete. Miller began his studies at age 14 at the Fort Edward Institute - a collegiate or seminary as they were known in those days. After graduating he began to teach there. He also acted as Librarian for the Seminary and was on record as a voracious reader. At the same time he began to preach at various Methodist churches in the area. He was attracted to journalism and wrote extensively. He also began a book collection that grew to a very significant size. He lectured widely across the United States for many years. In 1901 he donated his extensive rare book collection to National Park Seminary located at the time on the edge of Washington DC. Over the years NPS has changed hands several times until 1942 when it was expropriated by the US Army as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers. Today it is part of the Walter Reed Medical Center complex. Miller died of a heart attack in Boise ID in 1911. The scrapbook is chock full of notes letter cards and jottings. On many the ink has faded. Notes are stuck in willy-nilly: "Artman looks as tho he were an old bummer See his nose" ". Miller - Butler has prepared an article which she intends to deliver this morning the same going very strongly against you." On May 6th 1873 he published a printed statement of defense challenging unnamed critics of statement and articles he has written. On Institute letterhead he has received a letter addressed to himself requesting a loan of $300 from a MF Chichester. On Dec 6th 1872 he received a letter from the Office of the College Courant: "Dear Doctor - I draw to you this line as a matter of friendship. Chatfield is just on the point of failure and will probably make an assignment next week. Concerning that you have a claim against him the sooner you get it into the lawyers hands the better. I send you the name of a good one EP Arvine Church Street opposite Post Office. The sheriff is dropping in every day making attachments which are being for. The future of the Courant is doubtful; but it will probably not die. Prof Barker of Yale talks of taking it in which case I shall probably retain my connection with it. Another though just occurred to me that perhaps you could get the account of your bill more readily by ordering some of Chatfields publications Sincerely Yours RW Keufshall. There are cards referring to The Senate Society possibly one of the many debating societies extant that to which he belonged. And so the scrapbook goes. It is a veritable goldmine for a historian or researcher exploring the life and experiences of this noted American literary figure. For a social historian it is a superb window into the life of someone who travelled extensively in the literary circles of his day.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1870S JAHU DEWITT MILLER FORT EDWARD INSTITUTE NATIONAL PARK SEMINARY NATIONAL PARK SERVICES UPSTATE NEW YORK JOHN CASSEDY VESTA CASSEDY DR.
