1989140940817No Place: No Publisher 1989. Near Fine. Comb-bound printed on sheets of various colors. Unpaginated. Near Fine with light wear. A thick collection of Grateful Dead lyrics plus lyrics to songs the Dead often covered. A memento of rabid Deadhead culture at the close of the '80s transcribed by the anonymous Deadeditor by hand from listening to various tapes; tape-trading being one of the most popular pursuits in the subculture. According to said editor in the intro "This book was not xeroxed out of another lyric book nor was it copied out of Dead songbooks. Anything that was taken from another source was looked over and corrected to the best of my ability." Also notable for the time was that it was written on a Macintosh SE computer writing on a computer was a strange new thing for many people then believe it or not and "the final copy was printed on a NEC Silent Writer laser printer." The title is taken from the band's classic song "Ripple" off the 1970 studio LP American Beauty. Rare with a single institutional copy located in a recent OCLC WorldCat search.

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
