197524869Westlake Village CA: F & J Publishing Corp. Fine in Very Good dj. c.1975. First Edition. Hardcover. nice clean book with no discernible wear; jacket shows a touch of wear to a couple of upper corners light surface-rubbing. color and B&W reproductions An exploration of the life and work of Alfredo Ramos Martinez 1871-1946 who "fathered the great Mexican mural renaissance which made the names Orozco Rivera and Siqueiros world-famous." The author "has traced the artist from his early years in Mexico through the period of his European studies and his return to Mexico and finally to his climactic experience in the United States where he left a record of his finest work before he died." Laid in to this copy is a trifold brochure for an exhibition of Ramos Martinez's work presented at the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries in Los Angeles in October-November 1975; although not explicitly stated anywhere it seems likely that this also provided the occasion for the publication of this book. I believe this was the first and may still be the only full-length book about the artist published in English.

19962304905Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press 1996. Reissue. Reissue. Very Good. 1996 reissue of 1868 original. Two creases to wrappers. 894 pp. With new introduction and notes by John M. Taylor. "Published in 1869 Raphael Semmes's Memoirs of Service Afloat was the first major southern memoir issued after the Civil War written by the most important Confederate naval figure to emerge from the conflict. It appears here in its first indexed and professionally edited version with an introduction and notes by Semmes's biographer John M. Taylor. According to Taylor Semmes's impressive military performance would not be rivaled by any sea raider until the advent of the submarine. Commanding two cruisers first the Sumter and then the famous Alabama Semmes engineered a rout of the Federal merchant marine burning or bonding a total of sixty-four vessels with the Alabama alone before its dramatic defeat by the USS Kearsarge off Cherbourg in 1864 an event that nonetheless served to enhance his reputation - as a pirate in the North and a hero in the South. His memoir is a rollicking account of the voyages of the Sumter and the Alabama with digressions on his natural surroundings and sociopolitical topics. Written soon after the war Semmes's work conveys a zeal for the Lost Cause and an unrelenting bitterness toward the Yankees that ironically tend to obscure his own deeds of skill daring and humanitarianism.
