1987140647New York: Double Helix Films 1987. Draft script for an unproduced film. Copy belonging to Kimberly Ryan with her name and phone number on the title page in holograph pencil and ink. With a few annotations in holograph pencil. <br/><br/>An unproduced film adaptation of Joseph Conrad's 1911 novel "Under Western Eyes" which many consider to be Conrad's response to Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" whom Conrad detested. Conrad's father was a revolutionary imprisoned by the Russians which initially inspired both this book and Conrad's hatred of the authorities of the Russian empire. <br/><br/>The story generally deals with the failed attempts of a revolutionary told through a teacher of languages living in Geneva as the narrator. A young revolutionary Razumov feels isolated within the Czarist system and cynical about his station in life but falls into a trap of unfairness through simply associating with actual revolutionaries which land him in trouble and inspire others to take a stand against the government. Razumov betrayed a fellow revolutionary by ratting him out to the police and then working with the police as a double agent. When his conscience gets the better of him and he confesses his misdeeds to a revolutionary gathering in Switzerland they destroy his eardrums. A deaf Razumov is crushed by a tram and dies soon after. <br/><br/>Set in St. Petersburg Russia and Geneva Switzerland. <br/><br/>Blue titled wrappers with credits for screenwriters Adam Gillon and Scott Gordon and author Joseph Conrad.

20122304516New York: Oxford University Press 2012. First Edition. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Very minor general wear. 2012 Hard Cover. x 310 pp. "It began with an eclipse. In 1806 the Shawnee leader Tenskwatawa "The Open Door" declared himself to be in direct contact with the Master of Life and therefore the supreme religious authority for all Native Americans. Those who disbelieved him he warned "would see darkness come over the sun." William Henry Harrison governor of the Indiana Territory and future American president scoffed at Tenskwatawa. If he was truly a prophet Harrison taunted let him perform a miracle. And Tenskwatawa did just that making the sun go dark at midday. In The Gods of Prophetstown Adam Jortner provides a gripping account of the conflict between Tenskwatawa and Harrison who finally collided in 1811 at a place called Tippecanoe. Though largely forgotten today their rivalry determined the future of westward expansion and shaped the War of 1812. Jortner weaves together dual biographies of the opposing leaders. In the five years between the eclipse and the battle Tenskwatawa used his spiritual leadership to forge a political pseudo-state with his brother Tecumseh. Harrison meanwhile built a power base in Indiana rigging elections and maneuvering for higher position. Rejecting received wisdom Jortner sees nothing as preordained-Native Americans were not inexorably falling toward dispossession and destruction. Deeply rooting his account in a generation of scholarship that has revolutionized Indian history Jortner places the religious dimension of the struggle at the fore recreating the spiritual landscapes trod by each side. The climactic battle he writes was as much a clash of gods as of men. Written with profound insight and narrative verve The Gods of Prophetstown recaptures a forgotten turning point in American history in time for the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Tippecanoe.

1904025984Louisville KY: G.G. Fetter Co 1904. First Edition. Octavo. xii 476 pages 64 leaves of plates illustrations portraits. The memoirs of Brigadier-General Adam Rankin Johnson trace the progress of the leading Kentuckian Confederate leader in the Civil War. After cavalry service in the commands of Nathan Bedford Forest and John Hunt Morgan Johnson established his own reputation for innovation and audacity; for instance he captured an Indiana town with only 12 men making fake cannons with stovepipe sections giving him the nickname "Stovepipe" Johnson. Authorized by the Confederate government to perate behind Union lines Johnson's Tenth Kentucky Cavalry conducted numerous raids in western Kentucky and Tennessee. His Partisan Ranger Brigade used irregular but highly flexible operations to succeed with smaller forces. He was blinded from a wound in 1864 but moved to Texas where he founded the town of Marble Falls and became one of the states' most honored citizens. This volume has sketches photographs roster brigades and much more. This copy has the bookplate of Texas Senator A.J. Wirtz who gave LBJ a helpful push in politics. His daughter remained Lady Bird's best friend from days at the University of Texas. A fine copy bound in maroon cloth lettered and decorated in gilt spine lettering gilt.
