4314WORLD WAR I. ALS. 3pgs. November 13 1914. Vienna. An autograph letter signed “Libbie Tappan†by an American living in Vienna at the start of World War One. Tappan writes home to her sister in America concerning wartime conditions in Vienna. She mentions lies of the media and the fear that her letter will be censored: “My Dear Sister: I wrote you a letter sent 21 by a lady who was going home to America. She would amil it in New York. Irene sent one to her Mother she has received an answer to hers. SO I am wondering why I don’t hear from you At that time every thing was excitement. All mails from here was stopped and now we have to leave our letters open. Irene’s Mother wrote her to come home at once but we thought it was to big a risk to run. We had no idea that they were writing all lies until we got hold of an American paper. War was first declared here on account of the to be next king and his wife were killed by the Serbians. There is such a lot to tell but for fear it will never reach you I will only say the German Kaiser is not to blame. The Germans and Austrian Hungarians have never lost a battle we are not starving and there is no…here. All places of amusement were closed trotting was stopped the first of August. Things are beginning to brighten a bit now but there will be no racing until next year. Every available place is filled with wounded soldiers and we don’t see much else but soldiers although there has never been a battle here in Vienna. I am so sorry about Marvin. It seems too bad he had to be taken. I hope you let Eugene and the rest of the folks know about us. We are still in no danger as long as we stay here. I am so sorry I cannot send you some money but it is impossible now. But just as soon as it can be sent will send. Remember me to all the ladies There was a call for linen for the wounded. Irene did two pounds out of my old linen. I thought of you all how busy you would be if you was here there was a ship load of red cross nurses and doctors come over some of them are here in Vienna. There were many Americans went home when your letter went. They were nearly a month on the way. I suppose it cost them a small fortune to go I don’t think of any thing else just now. Will write soon again. Trust you are well and all the ladies also. Berdette & Irene sends love Ever your loving sister Libbie Tappanâ€. An interesting first-hand account. It is in very good condition and the original envelope is enclosed. unknown books
1944152575Perhaps Versailles: Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force December 1944. The Allies prepare to take over Germany First edition initially classified "restricted" but subsequently stamped as "secret" on the front cover. Chapter VI concerns the control disarmament and disbandment of "para-military and police organizations" including the SS and other forces of the Nazi Party. It outlines Allied plans to ban the wearing of Nazi insignia detain implicated personnel and co-opt commanders of military districts Wehrkreis to take over the administration of liberated concentration camps and preserve vital evidence. Other chapters address the disarmament of Wehrmacht forces the seizure of communications infrastructure and relations with civilians as well as intelligence work the broader preservation of German state and army documents and the repatriation of Allied POWs. The two maps record the proposed division of Berlin into three international zones and the boundaries of the Wehrkreis. Chapter XIII correctly anticipates that the Nazi leadership will fight on even amid a hopeless situation and stresses the importance of capitalizing on any brief window between the final collapse of Hitler's regime and the emergence of an organized resistance to occupation. Distribution was ultimately intended to be as follows: "Army down to lieutenant-colonel's commands; Navy down to Commanders in Command on shore and all Commanding Officers of Men of War under the orders of the Supreme Commander; Air Forces down to Unit Commanders of the occupying Air Forces and of the air disarmament organization" p. 1.

Title: Jan Mayen Island. Author: J. M. Wordie Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1922. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: Featuring a mountaineering adventure up the Beerenberg volcano, Wordie provides a firsthand account of the 1921 expedition led by botanist James Laurence Chaworth-Muster, which had set forth to the Arctic island most reputed for being difficult to locate and therefore infrequently visited, owing to its incessant cloud and mist cover - Jan Mayen. Objectives for the expedition included the ascent of Beerenberg, which was then reported as an active volcano and discovered to be extinct, collecting natural history specimens and performing glaciological studies, the latter to be undertaken by Professor Mercanton of Lausanne. He also includes a historical overview of the island, centering around volcanic activity and its history in the whaling era, from the 1600's when first documented by Danish and British whalers, to the eighteenth century when at least one whaler claims to have seen volcanic eruptions, and visits by Scoresby and Lord Dufferin in the nineteenth century. Photographic plates show Egg Bluff, Jameson Bay, the Norwegian Ekerold Wireless Station which was receiving messages daily, Bombelles Mountain, the lava crater near English Bay. A folding map highlightds Beerenberg and other peaks. 8vo. 16 pages, plus a fold-out sketch map and photographic plates, including a panoramic view. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Excerpt from the text: "Jan Mayen is small in size... the extinct volcano of Beerenberg, with the exception of certain nunataks in Greenland, is the highest mountain within the arctic circle..." "... it was essential to undertake the ascent of Beerenberg at once.... The climbing part - Mercanton, Lethbridge, and myself - went up to spend the night at the tent on August 10... surprise to find a small cairn... No real difficulty was experienced, therefore, until at 7200 feet a broad crevasse had to be jumped - one of those awkward uphill jumps... We made a stay of nearly two hours at the highest point" "Glaciers, it may be stated, are confined to Beerenberg." End Excerpt. James Lawrence (Jim) Chaworth-Musters (1901-1948) studied geography at Cambridge University, though his career led him into biology and zoology. From 1920 until the outbreak of the Second World War, he partook in various scientific expeditions, with a particular interest in mammals and birds. He joined the Royal Geographical Society in 1921. A collection of his drawings of whales and plants, executed mainly in Norway between 1921-1928, is part of the Chaworth-Musters collection held at the University of Nottingham. A new species of mouse, 'Musterii', was discovered by and named after him in Afghanistan. In the 1930s and 1940s he undertook voluntary work at the British Museum (now the Natural History Museum). In 1946 he was appointed as Assistant Keeper in the Department of Zoology. In 1939 he was working as British vice-consul in Norway. He was fluent in Norwegian, as his parents had owned a house at Aarnes in Norway and the family took regular holidays there. James lived at Surnadal in Norway in the 1920s. He was recruited to the Special Operations Executive when the Germans invaded Norway in 1940, and was employed by the Norwegian Government in exile to interrogate escapees from Norway. Beerenberg is a 2,277 m (7,470 ft) stratovolcano, the world's northernmost subaerial active volcano, which forms the northeastern end of the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen. It is topped by a mostly ice-filled crater about 1 km (0.6 mi) wide, with numerous peaks along its rim including the highest summit, Haakon VII Toppen, on its western side. Recorded eruptions occurred in 1732, 1818, 1851, 1970, and in 1985.
