Rare--very few of these training problem sheets have survived. Single 8 inch by 10.5 inch mimeographed sheet with text on one side only. This has been folded in half and half again resulting in an approximately 5.25 by 4 inch object when fully folded. This sheet has been fully opened and placed in a clear plastic protective sleeve. On 24 June 1921 the unit was reconstituted as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade and was assigned to the Organized Reserve Corps and the 87th Division. It was reorganized in December 1921 redesignated on 23 March 1925 as the HHC 173rd Brigade and redesignated as HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade on 24 August 1936. During World War II the HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade was designated as the 87th Reconnaissance Troop in February 1942 and activated on 15 December 1942. Though the brigade in name did not exist during the war the redesignation meant that it carried the lineage of the 87th Reconnaissance Troop and when the brigade was reactivated it would include the troop's lineage and campaign streamers. The troop entered combat in 1944 and fought in three European campaigns; central Europe the Rhineland and Ardennes-Alsace operations. After the war the troop reverted to reserve status and was posted at Birmingham Alabama from 1947 until 1951. On 1 December 1951 the troop was inactivated and released from its assignment to the 87th Infantry Division. This is dated April 14 1949. It references FIELD ORDER No. 11.

189540853Chicago: S. Ettlinger Printing Co 1895. 1st edition. Original green paper wrappers 12mo 56 pages. <br> <br> The author Isaac S. Moses is prominently listed on the title page as Rabbi of Kehilath Anshe Mayriv KAM Chicago's first Synagogue; these were sermons he delivered there.<br> <br> In addition the title page lists S. Ettlinger Printing Co. in Chicago as the publisher though the wrappers list Bloch in New York. This probably means that Bloch bought the printed run or the remains of it or the plates and put their own outer label on and then continued the distribution under their own name. Singerman 4882 simply listing Ettlinger in Chicago as publisher with no mention of Bloch.<br> <br> In his early days in the United States Isaac Moses "was considered a radical Reformer but later he took a more moderate position. In 1884 he introduced his own prayer book Tefillat Yisrael. <br> <br> Moses was a founding member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and a member of the Reform committee charged with compiling an official prayer book. The appearance of the Union Prayer Book in 1894 has been credited to his personal initiative in preparing and circulating a manuscript when the committee's work seemed to be leading nowhere. Moses also published a number of sermons and textbooks for children. His Sabbath School Hymnal first issued in 1894 ran into 14 editions. While in Milwaukee he edited the weekly Der Zeitgeist 1880-82" encyclopedia.com. <br> <br> In one of these sermons Rabbi Moses discusses the evils that occurred in Egypt and then goes on to say "Does not our civilization show the most alarming symptoms of the evils and the diseases of Egypt We have fought for the emancipation of the negro but the enslavement of the masses by our modern indutrial system threatens to become a plague worse than ever befell the birth-place of Moses." <br> <br> Subjects: Jewish sermons American.

1819373739Ordered by The House of Commons to be Printed 24 November London 1819. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. The Papers Relative to the Internal State of the Country presented to Parliament in November 1819 stands as a chilling artefact of post-Peterloo statecraft. Compiled in the wake of the massacre at St Peter's Field the report gathers magistrates' letters intelligence summaries and official correspondence into a narrative of national emergency. Its tone is one of alarm deliberately so. By framing reformist gatherings as seditious and casting radical publications as incendiary the report sought not only to inform Parliament but to justify a sweeping crackdown on civil liberties. It was the rhetorical scaffolding for the Six Acts passed weeks later which curtailed public assembly expanded search powers and tightened control over the press. Beyond its immediate political function the report marks a turning point in the evolution of state surveillance. It reveals an early architecture of information-gathering: local informants intercepted letters and the monitoring of public meetings. Reformers were not just opposed they were watched catalogued and rhetorically transformed into threats. This bureaucratic gaze once reserved for foreign enemies was now turned inward. The document thus offers a glimpse into the birth of domestic intelligence as a tool of governance where the line between public order and political control began to blur. For modern audiences the report resonates not only as a historical record but as a cautionary tale. Its language urgent moralistic and often theatrical reminds us how easily surveillance can be framed as necessity and how dissent can be rebranded as danger. In the shadow of Peterloo it is less a neutral ledger than a curated performance of state anxiety one that continues to echo in debates about liberty protest and the politics of observation.

010655Envelope or Cover. Very good. This one-page stampless folded letter was sent by C. B. Young of Detroit to the Michigan Auditor General in Lansing. It is datelined “Nov 25 1849.†It bears a circular Detroit postmark “Paid†handstamp and “5†rate mark all in red.<br /> <br /> The letter forwarded $3.00 to purchase public land in Ionia County from the sale of 1847. From the time of the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Michigan was a public land territory and state. This meant that the federal government was responsible for disposing of all the state’s land except for a small number of private claims. Various American Indian groups could also claim sovereignty of the land as well.<br /> <br /> Although privatization was a success it was also deeply flawed. The state government took a special interest in the process for a number of reasons including quieting Native American unrest over claims surveying and platting state-claimed land reviewing the federal and state administrators responsible for processing the claims analyzing the privatization policies controlling speculation and determining privatization’s effect on settlements. <br /> <br /> This letter is likely related to the general privatization process and not the resale of military bounty land or land sold to recoup delinquent taxes.<br /> For more information see Mitchell’s “Towards a History of Privatizing Public Lands in Michigan 1785 1860†in Fall 2008 edition of the Michigan Academician. unknown
1854373729The Times London 1854. Newspaper. Good Condition. The two Times Special Reports dated 13 November 1854 The Attack on Balaclava and 23 November 1854 The Battle of Inkermann provide detailed contemporary accounts of two of the most significant engagements of the Crimean War. The Balaclava issue contains the earliest extended reports of the battle of 25 October including the now-legendary Charge of the Light Brigade official despatches from Lord Raglan and narrative descriptions that shaped public perception of both the disaster and the heroism involved. The Inkermann issue presents Lord Raglan's despatches and extensive coverage of the desperate fighting on 5 November 1854 when outnumbered British and French forces repelled a much larger Russian army. Together these issues stand as immediate first-hand printed records of events that soon became iconic in British military history. These copies are original 1854 issues of The Times not later reprints or bound compilations. Issued as separate folio supplements printed on rag-based paper and headed with the distinctive Times masthead and royal crest they were sold individually to provide the public with full stand-alone accounts of major battles. Survival of such ephemeral publications is uncommon making these examples both scarce and historically significant. Their value lies not only in their rarity but also in their role as primary sources that convey how the war was reported understood and remembered at the time. Two issues each four pages in length. Some minor marginal tears probably inevitable with newspapers of this sort. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 29 x 44.5 cms.
