192952116Los Angeles: Press of Schwabacher-Frey Company 1929. 1929. First edition. 11 1/4" x 8 1/2" in simulated leather and embossed pictorial boards with color vignette of Big Bear Valley stamped on front cover and with gilt lettering and woodcraft borders. Sewn with gold silk braid at spine. Decorative endpapers with slot on front pastedown for ownership certificate not present but tipped-in design for Cambria Pines cabin design with floor plans. Color illustrated vignette title. Color text illustrations. Photo illustrations. Decorative borders. Pictorial map by Graysons of Los Angeles. Color illustrated calendar dial with borders on final leaf preserving the original glassine flyleaves. A beautifully produced brochure detailing the amenities for both members and investors in the Peter Pan Woodland Club. Harry Kiener formed the Big Bear Land & Water Company to develop mountain properties in the east valley area of Big Bear City in 1925. In 1927 he contracted with Los Angles truck-body builder Guy Maltby to build a wooden power boat to be used on Big Bear Lake. While delivering the boat Maltby became fascinated with the project and formed the Bear Valley Milling and Lumber Company to build the Peter Pan Lodge along with over 600 surrounding homes in Big Bear City. This lodge was massive with five stories and included a golf course landscaping tennis courts swimming pool movie theater and for nearly two decades was used for parties dances and even Hollywood films. Sadly it burned to the ground on June 18 1948 and even though the smaller Peter Pan Lodge building was moved to the site it never recaptured the spirit and elegance of the original resort. Light soiling to bottom corners of pages along with faint tears to upper fore-edge of free front end paper and with slight creasing and with faint pencil annotations on front pastedown. Very good.

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

1932177173Alaska: 1932-3. The first Hollywood film to be shot in a Native American language A collection of behind-the-scenes photographs documenting the production of Eskimo 1933. With a mostly Native American cast it was the first feature film shot entirely on location in Alaska and the first to incorporate the Iñupiat language. Produced over a 17-month period it captured scenes of hunting and daily life with documentary realism. The photographs include images of the cast and crew among them the Iñupiaq lead Ray Mala Lotus Long Peter Freuchen and director W. S. Van Dyke as well as indigenous actors in traditional parkas and mukluks. Also shown are scenes of walrus and moose hunts extras posed in igloos animal processing and film equipment in use. Mala accompanied the Danish Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen on an expedition from 1921 to 1924 collecting and describing Inuit songs and legends. The following year Mala commenced his career in Hollywood where he worked for almost 30 years. Eskimo later re-released as Mala the Magnificent was directed by Van Dyke and adapted from Freuchen's writings. Depicting encounters between Inuit communities and Western traders the film was not a commercial success. Still it was praised for its realism and awarded the inaugural Academy Award for Best Film Editing. Van Dyke known as "One Take Woody" for his efficient work made several other early sound films including Tarzan the Ape Man 1932 The Thin Man 1934 and San Francisco 1936. 48 silver gelatin prints from 64 x 88 to 87 x 105 mm. portrait and landscape format some stamped "Velox" on the verso others with pencilled numbers. A small number are copy prints. Some a little yellowed or with silver mirroring a few minor surface abrasions: a very good collection.

In an effort to protect Russian interests Tsar Alexander II 1818-1881 determined to sell Alaska. After offering it in 1859 to the United Kingdom Russia negotiated a sale to the United States finalized in 1867. At the time the territory primarily offered fur trading and some natural resources. Americans generally supported the purchase and believed it enhanced American interests in the Pacific though some critics labeled it "Seward's Folly" after Secretary of State William H. Seward who had negotiated the purchase for the United States. Most newspaper editors especially those in California were enthusiastic about the purchase. Notable among the critics was Horace Greeley the editor of this newspaper and a long-time opponent of Seward. The value of the new territory increased dramatically with the discovery of gold fields in 1896.</p><p>The Senate ratified the Treaty with Russia on April 9 1867 by a vote of 37 to 2. On July 14 1868 the House of Representatives passed a resolution appropriating the $7.2 million necessary to purchase Alaska less than two cents per acre and the Senate approved the resolution with amendments. The House refused the amendments and the resolution went to a committee. The House passed the resolution as revised by the conference committee on July 23 and the Senate passed it the following day.</p><p>Meanwhile on July 15 Senator Zachariah Chandler of Michigan introduced "An Act to extend the Laws of the United States relating to the Customs Commerce and Navigation over the Territory ceded to the United States by Russia to establish a Collection District therein and for other Purposes" and the Senate passed it on July 16. In the House Representative Elihu B. Washburne of Illinois proposed amendments on July 25 and the House agreed to them. The Senate disagreed with the amendments and this bill went also to a conference committee where the Senate receded from its opposition and the bill passed. President Johnson approved and signed both the joint resolution and the act on July 27 1868.</p><p>In 1870 Congress followed up its concerns about preserving fur-bearing animals expressed in this law with "An Act to prevent the Extermination of Fur-bearing Animals in Alaska" aimed directly at regulating the killing of fur-bearing seals on Saint Paul and Saint George Islands off the western coast of Alaska north of the Aleutian Islands.</p><p><b>Additional Content</b></p><p>This issue also includes the Senate confirmation of William M. Evarts 1818-1901 as Attorney General p1/c2 p5/c4; proceedings of Congress including Senate discussion of this bill p1/c3-4; a letter from a special correspondent describing Sitka Alaska p2/c2-3; an editorial nomination of Thomas A. R. Nelson of Tennessee as Secretary of State to succeed William H. Seward "<i>now that Mr. Seward has succeeded in buying Aliaska</i>" p4/c5-6; "base ball" and cricket scores p5/c5; and a report on dozens of deaths from sunstroke during two-week heat wave especially among children p8/c1-3.</p><p><b><i>New-York Tribune</i></b> 1841-1924 was established as a daily newspaper in 1841 by Horace Greeley 1811-1872. By the 1850s it reached a circulation of 200000 copies making it the largest daily newspaper in New York City at the time. Greeley also published weekly and semi-weekly issues of the <i>Tribune</i> through much of his tenure. The <i>New-York Tribune</i>became the dominant Whig and then Republican newspaper in the United States helping to shape public opinion especially as other newspapers often copied its articles and editorials. It was one of the first newspapers in the Union to send reporters and correspondents to cover the military campaigns of the Civil War. Greeley used his newspaper to support many reforms including abolitionism pacifism socialism for a time and feminism. After Greeley's failed campaign as the Liberal Republican candidate for President Whitelaw Reid 1837-1912 assumed control of the <i>Tribune</i> until his death. His son Ogden Mills Reid 1882-1947 acquired the <i>New York Herald</i> and merged the newspapers in 1924.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Typical folds and light foxing few slight tears at some of the outer margins and appears to have been bound in a book at one point or someone reinforced the outer fold.</p>
