From the publisher: "TRUE TALES OF THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST by Howard Bryan offers a treasury of stories anecdotes and personal histories published here for the first time. Drawn from his personal archives Bryan's book is based on the recollections of pioneering 'oldtimers' who lived in the Southwest in the 1800s and early decades of this century as the frontier era was drawing to a close. In extended informal interviews during the 1950s Bryan gathered authentic accounts of the West that reflect the determination humor and courage of men and women surviving in dangerous and violent times. The stories yield a variety of adventures and anecdotes about frontier life. Bryan presents new information on famous characters such as Pancho Villa Geronimo Victorio Billy the Kid Pat Garrett and Black Jack Ketchum many of whom the oldtimers knew personally. A pioneer woman remembers almost being 'rescued' by Geronimo - who believed she was an Indian child held captive by whites.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition.

"In 1827 Judge John Sturgis came to the St. Joseph Valley area in southern Michigan territory and settled in what is now Sturgis. The original site of his home can be seen at Pioneer Park maintained by the City of Sturgis. Legend has it that Sturgis was chosen as the town's name because Mrs. John Sturgis baked a pan of biscuits and sent them to a surveying party near their cabin. Lewis Cass who later became governor was part of that surveying party. When the time came to name the town Governor Cass remembered the biscuits and was insistent that the town be named Sturgis. In 1896 Sturgis officially became a city. " from Wikipedia ; Signed by Author . The St. Joseph County Federation of Women's Clubs paperback

188232984Hartford CT: Press of the Case Lockwood & Brainard Company. Fair with no dust jacket; Boards worn first signature starting rear . hinge tender. 1882. Hardcover. Blindstamped green cloth binding stamped in black and gilt on front boards and spine. Within two decades after the close of the American Civil War the 600 members of the Connecticut National Guard and Governor Hobart B. Bigelow and his retinue traveled to Virginia and South Carolina to celebrate the Centennial of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown and help unveil a commemorative monument. Connecticut was one of the original thirteen American colonies sending a military and political presence to mark the occasion. Charleston was tacked onto the trip as "it became more and more apparent that the Yorktown ceremonies would be tiresome and the pleasure but little owing to its almost inaccessibility the obvious mismanagement of the managers in the matter of making visitors comfortable and the well-known quality of Virginia mud and sand." A lively account of this junket from ballads about sea-sickness the warmth of the reception accorded to Yankee soldiers in former "Rab" territories and how "the Connecticut boys took quite kindly to corn whiskey". Includes speeches news articles and sermons by various participants and local press. One speech by New Haven Postmaster Henry T. Sperry states that "the vote of the people should be directed by intelligence" and that "the south needs assistance to secure the enlightenment and education of her masses and the time is not far distant when she will get it" alluding to voting restriction laws. The Connecticut National Guard had traveled south by steamer but various problems led to a return trip by rail so the soldiers stopped off in various cities and towns including Columbia South Carolina where they hired some "darkies" to sing and dance. Many engravings of various Connecticut politicos and soldiers and one strange view of the back of the author's balding head. Rathbun refers to himself throughout the narrative as The Historian. There is a strange engraving on the errata page at the rear depicting Sperry's Buzzard in Charleston it's a chicken-like bird running after a flying grasshopper and a Sperry's Buzzard in Hartford a buzzard body with a stereotypical blackface human head. H. T. Sperry was the aforementioned New Haven postmaster who was also a poultry judge and fancier who was apparently enamored of the buzzards of Charleston. An illuminating look at how quickly white elites from North and South were able to reconnect as Americans after the Civil War but how African-Americans were excluded by both. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

194582036Washington DC: United States Government Printing Office 1945. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. 2 89 5 pages. Cover has wear soiling and edge chips. Department of State Publication 2420. This includes: Report of Robert H. Jackson to the President released by the White House on June 7 1945; Agreement for the Establishment of an International Military Tribunal; Charter of the International Military Tribunal; International Military Tribunal: Indictment Number 1; Appendix A. Statement of Individual Responsibility for Crimes Set Out in Counts One Two Three and Four; Appendix B: Statement of Criminality of Groups and Organizations; and Appendix C: Charges and Particulars of Violations of International Treaties Agreements and Assurances Caused by the Defendants in the Course of Planning preparing and Initiating the Wars. The Nuremberg trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II by the Allied forces under international law and the laws of war. The trials were most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political military judicial and economic leadership of Nazi Germany who planned carried out or otherwise participated in the Holocaust and other war crimes. The trials were held in Nuremberg Germany and their decisions marked a turning point between classical and contemporary international law. The first and best known of the trials was that of the major war criminals before the International Military Tribunal IMT. It was described as "the greatest trial in history" by Sir Norman Birkett one of the British judges present throughout. Held between 20 November 1945 and 1 October 1946 the Tribunal was given the task of trying 24 of the most important political and military leaders of the Third Reich. Further trials of lesser war criminals were conducted under Control Council Law No. 10 at the U.S. Nuremberg Military Tribunal NMT which included the Doctors' trial and the Judges' Trial. The categorization of the crimes and the constitution of the court represented a juridical advance that would be followed afterward by the United Nations for the development of an international jurisprudence in matters of war crimes crimes against humanity and wars of aggression and led to the creation of the International Criminal Court. For the first time in international law the Nuremberg indictments also mention genocide count three war crimes: "the extermination of racial and national groups against the civilian populations of certain occupied territories to destroy particular races and classes of people and national racial or religious groups particularly Jews Poles and Gypsies and others." Justice Robert H. Jackson played an important role in not only the trial itself but also in the creation of the International Military Tribunal as he led the American delegation to London that in the summer of 1945 argued in favor of prosecuting the Nazi leadership as a criminal conspiracy.
