19998966New York: W.W. Norton & Company 1999. First edition. 8vo. 240pp. Very good jacket shows some wear and has sticker residue to front cover with another sticker on spine. This copy from the library of author Anne Rice inscribed and dated 2013 on the ffep with some photographs tabbed throughout the text. A note on the front cover says "Jan 11 2012 - KEEP. This is very important. Mysterious. Excellent pix. Tall people. <br /> <br /> Egyptian culture albeit often a watered-down "egyptomaniacal" view of its culture was undoubtedly a large influence on Rice's writings. The "Ramses the Damned" trilogy the latter two of which were co-authored with her son Christopher Rice regale the adventures of Ramses an Eqyptian Pharoah who was resurrected in Edwardian England after drinking an elixir of life. However her vampire novels also draw on Eqyptian mythological ideas like divine power and immortality and many characters parallel Egyptian gods and goddesses. This fascination seems to carry over to the Tarim mummies from the Ürümchi region as well. W.W. Norton & Company unknown

This revealing set of original photographs provide essential details of the stages of construction for the extraordinary Westchester-Biltmore Country Club. Bowman sought to create the quintessential 1920’s sportsman’s oasis easily reached by automobile or train from Manhattan which along with mechanics maids servers and gardeners eventually featured 45 holes of golf three polo fields bridle path horse racing track tennis courts and a casino. The images open with finishing the footings and foundation in Dec. 1920 with structural steel quickly arising by Dec. 30 1920. The photos show the massive winged structure taking shape steel i-beams set in place and stone and masonry facade installed in stages through August 1921. As shown in many of these photos the project moved quickly enough that the roof had been mostly completed and the facade finished by Jan. 1922 with a series showing snow-covered parking lot and scaffolds still carrying material up the side as the wings were finished staircases enclosed so that by April 1922 the main construction has been completed except for some work in the portico front entrance and finishing touches of masonry and architectural details. Fitzgerald’s Gatsby would have felt more than at home with the finished Club amidst the saltwater pool man-made lagoon 800 bathhouses and dance floor with the total build cost for the project exceedingly $ 6 million in 1922 or $ 100 million currently.

1863List308N.p. 1863. Dark carved wood 11 ½ x 11 ½ x 1 inches with bone border and star inlays in corners an inlaid tree with carved names of Civil War battles as leaves. During the Civil War wounded or captured soldiers would often pass their time waiting to return to duty carving relics. The practice was fairly common with pipes being the most commonly carved object and the quality of the relics varied wildly depending on the talent of the soldier. A.H. Barber from Wisconsin was wounded at Antietam and most likely carved this memorial piece while recovering from his wounds. Each leaf notes a different battle during the 1861-1862 campaigns. Barber enlisted in Company C of the 2nd Wisconsin in 1861 and was discharged in 1863 following wounds suffered at Antietam. The trunk reads Battles for the Union and the four branches read Dept. of the South Army of Virginia & of the Potomac and Dept. of the West with twenty-nine leaves naming battles. <br /> <br /> The resultant plaque is exceptional in timeliness craftsmanship and overall aesthetic beauty. Barber’s metaphorically growing tree is particularly timely for the Union cause as the 1863 failure of the Maryland Campaign would serve as inspiration to Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Wonderfully preserved in excellent condition with no notable flaws. From the collection of Norm Flaydernman the noted Americana dealer who personally collected carved Civil War pipes and had been planning to write a book on the subject at the time of his death. unknown

1836List2949Clarke Cobb and Harris Counties Georgia 1836. Three documents. One four-page document measuring 5 x 8 ¾ inches likely previously a single sheet; water stained with some tearing at folds very good. One double-sided document measuring 8 x 10 inches; water stained and folded with large tears at folds possibly with part missing good. One single-sided document measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches. Water stained and folded with large tears at folds much damage to margins good. Overall good. Three legal documents in which William Barber buys and sells plots of land shortly following the establishment of Cobb County. In 1834 and 1835 Barber buys plots from John Gann and Elizabeth Kennon for $100 each and in 1836 sells land to Gilbert Rake for $500. Gann is possibly the plantation owner Cobb County pioneer and State Senator. <br /> <br /> These land contracts date to a time at which a small number of Cherokee—whose territory included present-day Cobb County—had voluntarily left the area following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 while a majority had not done so. The Indian Removal Act required Indigenous people east of the Mississippi River to cede their land to Euro-Americans and move west of it to so-called Indian Territory now Oklahoma. In 1835 the US government met with a group of Cherokee claiming to represent the tribe in New Echota Georgia and signed a removal treaty. When the majority of the tribe viewing the treaty as illegitimate refused to move voluntarily the US government sent the military to intervene.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Cobb County and land dealings between its early Euro-American residents during the removal of its Indigenous population. unknown
