1945WRCAM55611N.p. 1945. Thirteen silver gelatin real photo postcards each 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Moderate surface wear and silvering to some photos minor edge wear. Overall very good. A collection of thirteen real photo postcards featuring young African American Navy midshipmen serving or training during World War II twelve of which have been signed by the subjects in the margin below their photograph. Seven of the men have also added their address below their names while one serviceman inscribed his to "Mr. Strong." The sailors hail from a variety of locations namely Tennessee New Jersey Oklahoma Illinois Maryland and New York two from Brooklyn. The men are all posed likely against a studio backdrop and each is dressed in a blue uniform and white hat. <br> <br> The United States Navy was much slower to welcome African-American servicemen and integrate than the Army. In 1942 the Navy expanded service opportunities for African Americans beyond mess service and Camp Robert Smalls was created within Naval Station Great Lakes to host the first full albeit segregated training programs. The Navy began desegregating training in 1944 with the first thirteen African Americans becoming commissioned and warrant officers that same year the "Golden Thirteen". By 1945 all training was fully integrated. <br> <br> A useful group of photographs signed by African-American midshipmen of the Greatest Generation braving the American Navy during a transformative time in its history. unknown books

1867009296Bristol County Massachusetts: Barstow Stove Company 1867. Unbound. Very good. This partially printed two-year indenture measures 8.5" by 14". It is dated and signed twice: first on the "sixteenth day of November A.D. eighteen hundred and Sixty-Six" and again in January of 1867. A 25-cent revenue "Insurance" stamp Scott #46 has been affixed and cancelled with multiple strikes of a circular Bartow Stove Company handstamps. The document is in nice shape with splits starting along its storage folds. In this document the stove company agrees to pay Roach "Four Shilling & sixpence" per day for his first year of service and "Five Shillings and sixpence" per day during his second. In return Roach guarantees that if he leaves his job before two years have expired he will pay the company "the full and just sum of One Hundred Dollars."<br /><br />It seems odd that 74 years after Congress declared the dollar to be the official currency of the United States a company would pay employee wages calculated in shillings and pence. Yet the Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics pages 18-19 No. 604 October 1929 reported that "In the payrolls of some New England companies time and piece rates were given in shillings . . . up to 1845 and probably longer although the actual money payment in all cases would have been in American dollars." A very late and uncommon use of British currency by an American manufacturer to calculate the wages of an Iron Founder. <br /><br /> Barstow Stove Company books

37118Folio sheet folded to 7-1/2" x 9-3/4." Written in neat ink manuscript on first two pages. Third page blank docketed on page 4. Very Good.<br/><br/> Francis Strother Lyon 1800-1882 an Alabama lawyer and Democratic politician wrote this letter to Governor Moore. Lyon had been a Whig Congressman in the 1830s and having chaired the State Delegation to the 1860 Democratic Presidential Convention remained a power in Alabama public affairs. Dr. William Cincinnatus Ashe 1815-1867 a Demopolis physician received his appointment as Surgeon to the 11th Alabama Infantry on July 4 1861 and acted in that capacity until he was relieved on June 21 1862. On August 1 1862 he became Surgeon-- and then Surgeon-in-Charge-- of the 1st Alabama Hospital in Richmond; and then Surgeon in Charge of Fort Morgan Hospital in Mobile Bay.<br/> Lyon reminds Moore that "The Act of Congress for the establishment and organization of a general staff for the Army of the Confederate state authorizes the appointment of four surgeons with the rank of Major. You will remember that the friends of Dr. William C. Ashe of this place recommended him to you for the appointment of Surgeon to the Regiment to be raised under the Ordinance of this State. Now I am not informed as to your final determination. His friends feel a good deal of anxiety for his appointment as surgeon in the regular army either by the President or yourself."<br/> "In this part of the State we have not been clamorous for office- but we have been ardent and active in support of the cause of the South and you will concur with me in opinion that no portion of the State has been more unanimous in sustaining the measures which now promise so well to protect us against further inroads upon our rights on the part of the North. I think therefore we are not asking too much in requesting the appointment of Dr. Ashe. unknown books
186136827Demopolis 1861. 4 pp folded folio sheet. Ink manuscript written on the first two pages docketed on last page. Old folds Very Good.<br/><br/> Each of the six petitioners-- James Taylor Jones Jno. T. Liman Nathan B. Whitfield R.M. Campbell O.H. Prince and -- Torbert-- signs in his own hand on the day Lincoln was inaugurated as President. The petition was probably written by O.H. Prince. They attest to Strudwick's "good family" fine education "irreproachable moral character." Moreover at six feet tall and 170 pounds he is "the best horseman in Alabama." Alabama seceded on January 11 1861.<br/> Strudwick was mustered into the 11th Alabama regiment on June 11 1861. He was breveted 2d Lieutenant during his service. unknown books

Very Good.<br/><br/> Alabama seceded on January 11 1861. Our first letter is dated January 28 from several Demopolis citizens Nathan B. Whitefield Howard Henderson David Taliaferro and A.J. Byard urging the appointment of Colonel George B. Haydon "for Commander of the 3d Division of Alabama Troops." A February 12 letter from Judge Brooks seeks for Jno. Loomis of Coosa "the Post of Captain in the Regular Army. He was a gallant soldier in the Mexican War." The Judge adds a "P.S. It's delightful to have patronage. You enjoy it I know."<br/> Similar letters seek appointment as officers and physicians attached to particular units. One applicant writes "I have been looking very anxiously for a reply but as I supposed you were other-wise engaged; and as I am quite anxious to know the result of such Application I now trouble you for yours. unknown books

19525333Anchorage: Alaska Crippled Children's Association 1952. Duodecimo-size stapled booklet 13.25 x 10.5 cm. ii 1-36 ii pages. Illustrated. Table of contents. Title from cover. Publisher from page i and date of publication from page ii. ~ Second printing. Now with changes in pagination; the "Consent to Print" is on the verso of the title page and the rear contains an order form and advertisements for additional items for sale. The artwork also drawn by "R. Seetomona" depicts the same image of a young woman sitting near a stove but the stylized lettering with title letters formed from images of fish or seal drying on a line is clearer and a bit more complex the young woman's haircut is longer and parted in the middle and the pot on the stove has five heat lines instead of six. All other issues of this work we have examined have had this artwork and have been printed in black on colored wrappers. And all other issues contain an order form in various configurations as well as lists of other items for sale. ~ Eighty attributed recipes gathered from Inupiaq students participating in a school project and electing "to share the profits with the Alaska Crippled Children's Association" page ii. In some cases latitude is required to explain the lack of detail in recipes contributed by children for example: "Owl. Take feathers off from owl. Clean owl and put in cooking pot. Have lots of water in pot. Add salt to taste." But in other cases details are generously given as in the caution provided for Willow Meats with seal oil: "Never eat green stuff on willows" and in another when preparing mouseleaves Pick'Nick: "Maybe the white men don't like them." Other delicacies: Mazue Root Eskimo potato Eskimo Ice cream with reindeer tallow Baked Seal Liver Walrus Stew Oogruk i.e. bearded seal Intestine Soup and Seal Flippers. A cooperative venture between the public Day School in Shishmaref in the far north-on Sarichef Island north of the Bering Strait-and the Alaska Crippled Children's Association founded by a women's organization in Anchorage to fund orthopedic care for some twelve hundred children in Alaska then in dire need. Isabelle B. Bingham b. 1900 and her husband Herbert C. Bingham 1893-1965 were Alaska Native Service schoolteachers who taught in Shishmaref between 1948 and 1956. In 2002 fearing that life would no longer be possible on Sarichef owing to the effects of global climate change the inhabitants of Shishmaref voted in referendum to relocate. But moving a village of five hundred has proved daunting and most residents as well as the school remain on the island as of this writing. In stapled black-decorated terra cotta wrappers; upper stained at back corners chip to lower right corner; rear panel with closed tear. Good. OCLC locates numerous copies some miscredited to the teacher who penned the introductory note; a presumed second edition 1960 and third 1972 are documented; Brown 11 undated; not in Cagle.
