Map Of The United States Mexico Oregon Texas The Californias 1846

18461809120058N.P 1846. First Edition. Map. Good. Mexican-American War Era Map Broadside proclaiming Manifest Destiny published at the outset of the Mexican American War. Woodcut map with hand-colored outline. 46 x 56.5 cm. 18 x 22-1/4 inches. Closed tear on left side along fold. Bottom left corner slightly chipped affecting seal of Ohio. Margins trimmed close to state seals. From the map: "The Texians claim as their Boundary the Rio del Norte from its mouth to its source Mexico recognizes their claims only as far as the Nueces." The coloring draws the border to the Rio Grande. Other interesting points: Comanches and Kioways territory; Nauvoo Illinois Mormon refuge; and a Northern "Boundary as Claimed by the United States" and a "Boundary as offered by compromise by the United States" showing claim to Oregon territory. John Haven attribution according to David Rumsey: "Wheat says Haven 1846. This copy was published late in 1846. Streeter 3871 attributes this to Ensign and Thayer due to its similarity to their 1848 Ornamental Map of the U.S. and Mexico Streeter 3872. Wheat says that this map is the source of Haven's broadside map of 1846 Wheat 26 and the Journal of Commerce map of 1848 Wheat 47 which use the top 2/3 and bottom 2/3 respectively of this map and therefore Wheat attributes this to Haven. The 1846 date is the latest date in the statistics on the states that flank the map. Wheat mentions that he found a copy in Farnham's Life and Travels in California and our copy has written on the back in ms "Life and Travels in California" so this may be another place it was used or what it was originally made for. Includes "panoramic view of Oregon and California and state seals. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C." - David Rumsey Historical Map Collection 2575. Wheat Maps of the California Gold Region 38 slightly different issue: "A flamboyant affair. Haven 'Suter's Colony' is given prominence in 'New California' but no hint of the gold discoveries on either the map or the broadside that surrounds it." Refs: Wheat 513; cf Wheat Gold 26; High Ridge 15; Streeter 3871. "A crude and most interesting piece with curious boundaries: 'New California' extends east to the 109th degree and Oregon north to Alaska!" - Eberstadt 136:122 N.P unknown

Modern Journalism and General Literature.; Haven's Practical Course

189688318Philadelphia: Published By The Author 1896. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Fair. 88 2 pages. Illustrations. RARE surviving copy. Ex-library from the New York World newspaper's library with some of the usual library markings. Author inscription inside the front cover reads "With the compliments of the author Curtis Haven Phila. Pa. Mar. 12 1900". The book has a significant amount of wear and tear and some moisture stains. Curtis Haven was a journalist author and teacher with over twenty years' experience. He authored an impressive number of 'how-to' books and yet is largely forgotten and unknown today. The contents include Duties of the Writers on a Great Newspaper; City Editor's or Local Department; Night Editor's Department; Telegraph Editor; Editorial Department; Exchange Editor; Literary Editor; Proof Reading; and Writing Advertisements. This is a fascinating snapshot of the "Great City" newspaper business at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events facts ideas and people that are the "news of the day" and that informs society to at least some degree of accuracy. The word a noun applies to the occupation professional or not the methods of gathering information and the organizing literary styles. The appropriate role for journalism varies from country to country as do perceptions of the profession and the resulting status. In some nations the news media are controlled by government and are not independent. In others news media are independent of the government and operate as private industry. In addition countries may have differing implementations of laws handling the freedom of speech freedom of the press as well as slander and libel cases. The late 19th and early 20th century in the United States saw the advent of media empires controlled by the likes of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Realizing that they could expand their audience by abandoning politically polarized content thus making more money off of advertising American newspapers began to abandon their partisan politics in favor of less political reporting starting around 1900. Newspapers of this era embraced sensationalized reporting and larger headline typefaces and layouts a style that would become dubbed "yellow journalism". Newspaper publishing became much more heavily professionalized in this era and issues of writing quality and workroom discipline saw vast improvement. This era saw the establishment of freedom of the press as a legal norm as President Theodore Roosevelt tried and failed to sue newspapers for reporting corruption in his handling of the purchase of the Panama Canal. Still critics note that although government's ability to suppress journalistic speech is heavily limited the concentration of newspaper and general media ownership in the hands of a small number of private business owners leads to other biases in reporting and media self-censorship that benefits the interests of corporations and the government. In the 1920s in the United States as newspapers dropped their blatant partisanship in search of new subscribers political analyst Walter Lippmann and philosopher John Dewey debated the role of journalism in a democracy. Their differing philosophies still characterize an ongoing debate about the role of journalism in society. Lippmann's views prevailed for decades helping to bolster the Progressives' confidence in decision-making by experts with the general public standing by. Lippmann argued that high-powered journalism was wasted on ordinary citizens but was of genuine value to an elite class of administrators and experts. Dewey on the other hand believed not only that the public was capable of understanding the issues created or responded to by the elite but also that it was in the public forum that decisions should be made after discussion and debate. When issues were thoroughly vetted then the best ideas would bubble to the surface. The danger of demagoguery and false news did not trouble Dewey. His faith in popular democracy has been implemented in various degrees and is now known as "community journalism". The 1920s debate has been endlessly repeated across the globe as journalists wrestle with their roles. Published By The Author hardcover

[Tariffs] [Home League] Haven, C CBiblio.com

cover title Reciprocal Protection in Union with True Free Trade as Illustrated by the Report of the Central Committee of the Home League

18439907New York: Published in Hunt's Magazine 1843. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 11 1 pp. Off-print; first separated edition. As issued sewn in printed wrappers. Minor chipping to the rear wrappers; contents clean; a fairly fresh copy. The report read at the second anniversary of the Home League opens: "a few individuals of various professions without dictation or reward from any quarter except the satisfaction of acting with honest and patriotic motives resolved to devote themselves to the task of devising some remedy for the existing evils; and for this purpose invited a convention of their fellow-citizens from every section of the country without distinction of party which organized this association for the Protection of American Labor and the promotion of Reciprocal Free Trade. This was the starting point of the Home League and under this banner we have triumphed" p. 2. The Home League was established in 1841 and sought a more protectionist policy in the wake of the Compromise Tariff of 1833. In this report from the early years of the League we can see the growing pains of international commerce from the early stages of the industrial revolution. Of peripheral interest the Home League was eviscerated by Walt Whitman in an April 8 1842 article for the New York Aurora "The Latest and Grandest Humbug." While the article is unsigned Whitman scholars generally attribute it to him as the general editor of the paper at the time. He writes apropos of a Home League meeting at the Broadway Tabernacle Church: "Sensible men have of late years been flattering themselves that the old rusty antiquated doctrine of a Protective Tariff had been given the go by. It seems that it is not so. A few cliques of selfish manufacturers joined with a few sap head simpletons are raising a great hue and cry to get up the old system with a new name. We hope the American nation will not allow these hypocrites to deceive them. The whole pith and essence of their movements is self. Under loud mouthed demonstrations of patriotism they would push ahead measures for their own interest. They worship the Almighty Dollar—and to aid themselves therein they take the name of national prosperity in vain." It speaks to perennially passionate competing opinions of protectionist trade policies. Not in Kress or Sabin. Published in Hunt's Magazine unknown

"At the outbreak of the Civil War the Grays enlisted for a 90 day period of service as part of the 2nd Connecticut Infantry. They took part in the first major engagement of the Civil War the Battle of Bull Run. It was this battle which was a victory for the Confederate Forces which the Grays saved the day for the union. Union Forces broke and ran throwing down their weapons and fleeing in panic while being attacked by the Confederates leaving the road to Washington DC open to the enemy. However the Grays led by CPT Alfred H. Terry held and withdrew in an orderly fashion using covered fire to 'Leap Frog' back which caused the Confederate Leader to think he was facing a superior well-trained force to call off his attack.
