195212938N.p. likely Braxton MS 1952. 24pp. Profusely illustrated. Quarto. Original pictorial wrappers printed in green brown and red. Minor edge wear and foxing to wrappers. Light toning to text. Very good condition. A scarce and wonderfully-informative history of the first forty years of the Piney Woods Country Life School Laurence C. Jones's school for African American youth in Braxton Mississippi. The work is amply illustrated with photographs documenting the life and people of the school since its inception in 1910 to the moment of the pamphlet's publication. There are pages devoted to celebrating notable graduates of the school the "blind and the lame orphans and half-orphans" who've attended "internationally known visitors" "present-day buildings" five pages displaying the "industry" of the school the dairy and farm the "human and material progress" of the school and more. OCLC reports just ten total copies of this vital midcentury history of a notable southern school devoted to African-American youth. unknown
19465498Atlanta; Cleveland MS 1946. Very good. Two typed letters totaling 3pp. plus printed form completed in manuscript. Previously folded. Minor edge wear. Light tanning. A pair of typed letters that comprise an inquiry from Guy B. Johnson President of the Southern Regional Council and a response from Mrs. E.H. Green a resident of Bolivar County Mississippi concerning Black voting there in the July 1946 primary election. In his letter Johnson asks Green if she can corroborate stories in the Jackson Advocate that "all Negro votes were challenged" in Bolivar despite the fact that "Large numbers of Negroes were qualified to vote." Green responds that the votes of 241 qualified Blacks in Mound Bayou "the all Negro town" were all challenged on the basis that eligible African Americans had previously voted only in November general elections not primary elections. She also adds several observations from other districts in the county including the second where the votes of registered Blacks who appeared were also challenged and set aside. As a matter of prudence Green asks that "You do not give my name any publicity in this matter." The Southern Regional Council was a multiracial group founded in 1944 that sought equality and an end to racial violence. Also included with the two letters is a printed invitation for Mrs. E.H. Green to join the council with some information on its founding and goals. unknown

192241198Washington D.C.: Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 1922. Large folding nautical chart printed on heavy paper stock. Colored. A rare original coastal survey of the border between Mississippi and Alabama including the Mississippi Sound Gulfport Biloxi Pascagoula and a series of barrier islands: Cat Island Ship Island Horn Island Petit Bois Island Dauphin Island and Island Aux Herbes.<br/> <br/> Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast. These nautical survey maps commonly referred to as "T-sheets" provide fascinating insights into the history of the United States coastline which has and will continue to shift. These maps are the most important data source for understanding the physical and ecological characteristics of the U.S. shoreline. The present map is notable for its inclusion of Gulfport Biloxi and Pascagoula as they were gridded in 1922 and Cat Island a barrier island used for an undercover WWII program Dogs for Defense. Cat Island was chosen as the training camp dedicated to a specialized training program based off the untrue belief that dogs could differentiate humans by smell based on their cultural heritage. The top secret program attempted to train dogs to track and attack Japanese soldiers in the Pacific Theater and was held at Cat Island because of its similar terrain to that of the Pacific Islands and its uninhabited status. This operation was unsuccessful due to the incorrect assumption and shut down in 1944. This map is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the coastal border between Mississippi and Alabama and an important historical view of the developing states.

19135027Keokuk Ia: Mississippi River Power Company 1913. Very good. Ten volumes complete. Profusely illustrated. Oblong folio. Each issue measuring 9 x 12 inches in original pictorial wrappers two holes punched along spines and bound together in a later gray cloth Tatum-style Y binder with leather corners. Minor edge wear and staining to boards. Light edge wear to contents. A couple of panoramic photographs detached but present. A complete run of bulletins tracking the progress of construction on the Keokuk Dam & Power Plant which was then the longest monolithic concrete dam in the world and a pioneering effort in large-scale low-head hydroelectric power. Still in operation today the dame served as a prototype for many future power plants harnessing the power of the Mississippi River between Keokuk Iowa and Hamilton Illinois generating clean low cost and reliable energy enough to power 75000 homes. The present bulletins are chock full of facts figures photographs renderings and progress reports intended to familiarize the public with the project by illustrating the methods employed in its construction from beginning to completion. The bulletins are about equal parts text and photographs providing an easy-to-follow format for learning about the Keokuk project. Some of the issues also have folding maps or larger-format photographs which provide further visual accompaniment to the explanatory text.<br /> <br /> Known as a "run-of-river" plant the Keokuk Dam uses the natural energy of falling water to generate electricity. The power of this part of the river was identified by none other than Robert E. Lee in 1836 when he was serving as a surveyor for the U.S. War Department. Lee called attention to the turbulent waters but found no way to control it. In 1899 a group of leaders from Keokuk and Hamilton teamed up raised the backing funds received governmental approval for the dam and hired Hugh L. Cooper to oversee the project. Cooper had previously engineered construction of a hydroelectric plant at Niagara Falls. Interestingly an observation tower was also built on both sides of the river to allow the public to watch the progress of the Keokuk project then the largest privately-funded construction effort in the world. In addition to the dam a powerhouse and a new lock and dry system to accommodate river traffic were also built. The final bulletin includes comments from the chief engineer who noted that in the first bulletin it was stated that the project would be completed by July 1 1913. He remarks: "It is naturally a source of great satisfaction to all concerned with construction to see this prediction fulfilled."<br /> <br /> An informative and substantial production relating to a major construction project on the Mississippi River in the early-20th century. OCLC records a smattering of institutional holdings but complete runs appear to be rather rare. Mississippi River Power Company unknown
