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.

1900177661900. Early African American PHOTOGRAPHY -- RELIGION. silver gelatin photograph of a river baptism featuring a large group of African American subjects. Mississippi ca early 1900s. Photograph size is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Original silver gelatin photograph on cardstock mount .A young African American man wearing a hat and suit stands with his back to the camera we see in the foreground on the riverbank a group of African American subjects in light clothing close to the water's edge. A large ship is just visible beyond the dock in the background. Pencil inscription on verso reads "Miss- Colored Baptizing." 9Not: Historical records are evidence of the time in which they were created and often contain language are racist or derogatory and insensitive. This content does not reflect our values. These type of baptism on the banks of the Mississippi River were a public ceremony that attracted many converts in the South to the Delta region. Predominately African American Baptists performed their sacred ritual of outdoor baptisms on the Mississippi River until well into the 20th century in this Baptist-heavy state. Immersion baptisms typically took place in rivers or other natural bodies of water and summer and fall were the natural seasons for these congregational events. This rare photo captures a religious practice that has been integral to African-American Baptists for centuries. Photo has some toning surface soiling spotting and very small tear to right edge. But is still clear and in good to very good condition. 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

1870104901870. Photographer unknown. Steamboat Dictator photograph circa 1870s documenting Mississippi River transportation during the late nineteenth century a period when paddlewheel steamboats formed the central infrastructure of inland American commerce and travel. The image records the sidewheel steamboat Dictator at a river landing with passengers workers and horse drawn vehicles gathered nearby illustrating the role of river steam navigation in connecting towns and transporting goods throughout the Mississippi River system. Such vessels served as essential commercial and social conduits across the interior United States supporting regional trade networks passenger movement and communication between river communities during the decades following the Civil War.<br /> <br /> Silver gelatin photograph depicting the sidewheel steamboat Dictator moored at a river landing. The vessel's large paddlewheel housing prominently displays the name "Dictator" with the radial paddlewheel structure visible behind the decorative housing. The photograph shows numerous figures assembled along the dock area including groups of men standing near the landing and several horse drawn carriages positioned along the riverbank road. The steamboat's smokestack deck structures and railings are clearly visible while the surrounding landscape shows the wide river channel extending into the distance.

Paddlewheel steamers such as the Dictator carried passengers agricultural products and manufactured goods between river towns while serving as visible symbols of technological progress and regional connectivity. Photographs documenting individual vessels at work along river landings provide valuable visual evidence of how these transportation systems functioned within everyday commercial environments. Image measures approximately size not provided. Light edge wear and minor surface toning; overall condition good. An evocative visual document of Mississippi River transportation during the late nineteenth century. unknown

CONDITION: Very good one circular with tiny separations along old folds another circular with 1.5" and .5" tears along old fold. <p>A group of three scarce circulars issued to promote a St. Louis Sanitary Fair in 1864.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The Western Sanitary Commission's biggest fund-raising event was the Grand Mississippi Valley Sanitary Fair. The Commission was a private agency devoted to aiding the Union Army's sick and wounded soldiers. Led by abolitionists and also focused on the needs of Freedmen it provided clothing and places to stay for freedmen and refugees and set up schools for African American children. The Western Sanitary Commission handled all sanitary affairs west of the Mississippi. The Grand Mississippi Valley Sanitary Fair opened on 17 May 1864 and ran through 18 June. Women did most of the work. The fair raised some $550000.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The first circular concerns a fair to be held in St. Louis on 17 May 1864. The stated object of the fair was to raise a sufficient fund for the sanitary uses of the armies in the Mississippi Valley and for relief of their sick and wounded. It is noted that while its sphere of action is geographically limited to the states west of the mountains the Commission treats all soldiers alike and so far as in its power permits no one to suffer or be neglected. Pages two and three list the Commission's President Vice-President and staff. A note at the end of the circular requests that all goods and packages of whatever kind to be "distinctly marked with the name of the donor and place from which sent and directed to James E. Yeatman. Donations of money are specially solicited."</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The second circular reproducing two letters between Mrs. Chuncey I. Filley President of the Ladies's Executive Committee of the fair and Warne Cheever & Co. concerns the same fair to be held in St. Louis on 17 May 1864 which is described here as presenting an opportunity to every lady in the U.S. to show in one way or another her sympathy for the sick and wounded soldiers of our army. In view of encouraging a "pleasant spirit of rivalry" among the ladies that will ensure success of the fair the circular proposes two valuable prizes which will be sold to benefit the Sanitary Commission to be awarded to the lady who contributed to the fair the best and second best gentlemen's shirt. The first prize was an elegant silver plated tea set while second prize was a complete set of superior quality table cutlery. Provided are directions for making gentlemen's shirts.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The third circular published at the time of the 17 May 1864 fair notes that the Ladies's Grand Fancy Court accepted all donated articles including any of the following items: embroideries worsted work wardrobe furnishing goods for ladies perfumes books stationary jewelry trunks china and glass. The public is exhorted to contribute to the exhibition "all that a generous patriotic heart may suggest and willing hands prepare" and to contribute to the fair's Children's Department "whatever gives pleasure to your little ones or incites them to ennobling efforts." "All the children who visit or contribute to this department will feel that they are adding their mite to alleviate the suffering of the brave soldiers of the Union-that they are adding a ray of sunshine to the desolate homes of those tender orphans whom the war has left fatherless-and that these sacrifices are made only to preserve our national honor and make smooth the path of future generations."
