ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

19441769Amchitka & Anchorage Ak 1944. Overall very good. 111 original photographs measuring from 2.5 x 3.5 to 3.5 x 5 inches. Oblong folio album string-tied; leatherette boards front embossed and color stamped. Manuscript captions on album leaves; photos in corner mounts. A bit of soiling and wear to album leaves fading to some captions and a few images. An album of over 100 striking vernacular photographs taken and compiled by Corporal Herbert Farris of Lexington Kentucky that document his World War II service with the 39th Air Depot in Alaska. The men were involved in the maintenance and repair of Army Air Force aircraft and it appears that Farris operated a refueling truck. The unit was stationed in both Anchorage and in the Aleutian Islands and the album appears to include images from both of these areas. One image depicts the "wind indicator at Amchitka" an island in the far western Aleutians home to an Army Air Force Base constructed during the war. The album also includes many other images showing a remote base with bare bones conditions likely Amchitka or a nearby island. There are photos of the "first mess hall" a tent the "second mess hall" a series of huts a "barber shop" contained in a tent a shower tent a theater quonset hut barracks control tower and wooden walkways. The album also includes many images of aircraft including P-40s B-25 bombers and C-67 transports as well as photos of the refueling truck its operation and its crew. Finally there are images of "training planes" used for practice likely in Anchorage as well as some other images that appear to have been taken in Anchorage such as river gold dredgers and more permanent-looking buildings. A fascinating visual record of this far-flung American military outpost during World War II. unknown books
18861242Unalaska 1886. Very good. 4pp. on a small bifolium. Previously folded. In a relatively neat legible script. A manuscript letter by one S.L. Beckwith describing his 1886 travels through the Aleutian Islands and the town of Unalaska addressed to a woman named Ida perhaps his sister. It reads in part: <br/><br/>"This is a poor miserable place. The AC Co. has one comfortable house outside of storehouses coal house salt house oil house and the like. The houses are all small. There is one small church denomination the Russian Greek Catholick. There is about 40 buildings in all here and about a Doz. of Berakies that is underground houses. Everything is built on the sand beach. There is plenty of codfish here also salmon salmon trout brook trout some striped fish and plenty of clams. There is no wood growing on this land."<br/><br/>He goes on to describe the steamer and trading activity in the port and also discusses his prior travels and onward journey through the Aleutian Islands. The "AC Co." mentioned is the Alaska Commercial Company which supported the seal and fur trades in Alaska during the 19th century after it was purchased by the United States. It was headquartered in San Francisco and ran operations in Unga and St. Michael as well as in Unalaska. A brief but interesting account of this Alaskan trading outpost during the 1880s. unknown books

Streeter terms her account "excellent" and specifically notes her passage over the Chilkoot Pass on March 2nd & her trip down the river from Linderman to Dawson.
