On February 4th 1889 Governor Moonlight signed a pardon for twenty year old Harry Longabaugh who later became known as the "Sundance Kid".

18730399131873. Original manuscript. Hardcover. 48pp of handwritten sentiments from friends and family; four engraved plates tissue guards title-page vignette. Bound in red morocco blind-stamped decorations chrome-litho floral pieces on both covers gilt cover lettering and spine decorations all edges gilt. 8.25" x 6.5". Pieces of spine covering chipped from both ends; internally in very good condition. Many of the entires in this album were written at Tiskilwa Mt. Carroll and Rochelle all in Illinois and a few others are from Boston Orange NJ and St. Louis. Most are in ink a few in fading but readable pencil. Several contain richly calligraphed phrases or titles within their text while one woman offers three animal sketches 2 dogs and a buck. Some of the non-calligraphic hands are nevertheless beautiful and flowing illustrating the importance of penmanship in the school curricula of the day. Many entries contain short poems and some of these appear to be original since they mention “Mary†or “my sister†etc. ~~ Mary's album documents the prevailing sentiments of the era with inspirational messages on the importance of living a Christian life trusting in God/Jesus etc. Only a few are of the “remember me†variety. Some writings take up a full page including those of her father William R. Webb and her mother both religious. There are also entries by her father-in-law B. Lichty who signs with “Bless you is the prayer of your unworthy father†and by her sister Ada. One signer Will P. Hallett of Mt. Carroll writes that he’s signing the book “although I have not as yet formed your acquaintance†and goes on to hope that if they don’t meet “in this sinful world may God help us to meet around his throne….†An entry from Mrs. C.B. Boyer notes that “One year ago you came to us as a stranger and today you leave for your new home.†and concludes with sending her good wishes. The only signer of historical note seems to be Joseph Morris Ray who signed as “your friend†in June 1873 and later became an Iowa attorney and State Senator 1893-95 after residing in Mt. Carroll for many years. hardcover

Color endpaper maps. Other illustrations in color. This was printed by Pizzi and Pizio in 1945 in Milan Italy. The Allies invaded mainland Italy in early September 1943 expecting a quick drive north through the Italian peninsula into the "soft underbelly" of Europe and on to the German heartland. Nineteen months later in March 1945 after hard fighting against the Gustav Line in the rugged mountainous spine of Southern Italy the landing at Anzio their advance up the Liri valley to capture Rome and more mountain fighting in the North Apennines the Allies were still south of the Po Valley and the Alps. On 14 April 1945 Truscott's Fifth Army ground attack began. They seized the Pra del Bianco basin and Reno River valley after intense fighting and pushed northward from ridgeline to ridgeline and from valley town to valley town with steady progress. American firepower superiority and aggressive infantry attacks slowly pushed back the Germans. Intense bombing was renewed on 17 April. By nightfall only a rapidly disintegrating Axis force and about thirty miles of relatively flat terrain stood between the IV Corps and the Po River. In the face of superior forces the Germans had little chance of containing the emerging American breakthrough. By 18-19 April the American advance accelerated. As Axis defenses cracked the bulk of the Fifth Army passed west of Bologna and units were repositioned for the final push out of the Apennines. What is now called U.S. Army-North started life as the Fifth Army on 1 December 1942 in Oujda French Morocco. Originally constituted of Army units that participated in Operation TORCH the invasion of North Africa it was the first of the seven field armies the United States organized during World War II. On 12 December 1942 the new Fifth Army was assigned to the the multi-national Allied Force North Africa and Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark wad designated its commanding general. At General Clark's direction at one minute after midnight Zulu Time 5 January 1943 the Fifth Army became an active unit. The Fifth Army's primary mission was to prepare itself for the amphibious invasion of Italy. On 9 September 1943 Fifth Army landed an invasion force on a 20-mile stretch of beach south of Salerno Italy becoming the first American force to invade mainland Europe. At the time of the invasion Fifth Army included the British X Corps and the U.S. 36th 45th and 82nd Divisions. With the objective of capturing Rome Fifth Army pushed northward from Salerno through Naples to the German line anchored on the town of Cassino. The French Expeditionary Corps including Moroccan and Algerian divisions joined Fifth Army doubling its strength. After four costly assaults known as the Battles of Monte Cassino the Fifth Army continued onward toward Rome linking up on the way with other Fifth Army units that had fought their way out of the coastal town of Anzio. Fifth Army entered Rome on 4 June 1944 becoming the first allied force to liberate a European capitol from Fascist control. Germans and Fascist Italians retreated north turning and holding their ground at the Arno River. The pursuing Fifth Army reached the Arno on 18 July and finally crossed it on 2 September. Now into their second winter in Italy the Fifth army got a new commander. Lieutenant General Lucian K. Truscott Jr. became Fifth Army's commanding general on 16 December 1944 and served in that position to the end of the war. By this time Fifth Army had become a truly multi-ethnic command. Besides the Brazilians there were British and French units whose members including New Zealanders Canadians Indians Gurkhas Jews and Arabs from the British Mandate in Palestine South Africans Rhodesians Moroccans Algerians and Sub-Saharan Africans. In smaller units were exiled forces from Poland Greece Czechoslovakia and anti-fascist Italians. From the United States itself came the segregated 92d "Buffalo" Division and the Japanese-American 442d Regimental Combat Team. General Truscott led this multi-national Fifth Army out's of its winter deadlock across the Italian Apennines and across the Po River valley. By the end of April Fifth Army had reached the foothills of the Alps and had captured the cities of Bologna Vicenza and Verona. On 29 April American and British units entered Venice and German representatives started negotiations for surrender. The battle for Italy came to an end on 2 May 1945 with the unconditional surrender of the German forces in Italy and the linkup between the Fifth Army and Seventh Army in the Brenner Pass. From 9 September 1943 to 2 May 1945 Fifth Army endured 602 days of steady battlefield combat. This fighting resulted in 188546 casualties among the 27 divisions and 7 corps that composed the Fifth Army. Fifth Army tied down at least 16 of Hitler's divisions and took 212112 of his men prisoner. The Fifth Army's units were assigned away and the Headquarters became non-operational on 9 September - two years to the day after the landing at Salerno. United States Fifth Army paperback
