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.

1282914A small group of material relating to the October 1962 riots at the University of Mississippi following the enrollment of the school's first Black student James H. Meredith.<br /> The highlight of this collection is a copy of the book INTEGRATION AT OLE MISS by Russell Barrett which is annotated by Ole Miss professor William B. Keith. Included is a xerox copy of an unpublished two-page typed letter by Keith detailing his experiences during the riot.<br /> The letter is addressed to his close friend Don Davis a high school history teacher and principal in Ohio. In the letter Keith recalls the trepidation of not knowing how Gov. Barnett would respond the the Federal government forcing the issue of desegregation at Ole Miss; his recollection of the Sept. 30 Ole Miss football game; and the subsequent beginning of the riots the following day.<br /> Keith and a friend then graduate students at Ole Miss went over the Lyceum where students were gathering. He notes there are actually pictures of him in the crowd included in the Barrett book and that he has marked them. He was still in the crowd when the first volley of tear gas was fired into the crowd. A State Patrol officer next to him was struck in the head and Keith and a Miss. patrolman carried the officer to safety. It then occurred to Keith to go over to the biology building to lock up the dangerous acids kept there a smart move as rioters did break into the building to search for flammable acids. His account then ends as he watched the rest of the action on television.<br /> The letter is included in a copy of Russell Barrett's Integration at Ole Miss Chicago: 1965 1st ed which is inscribed from the author to Don Davis the recipient of Keith's letter. Also included is a two-page ALS from Keith to Davis discussing hopes they can visit soon. Keith became a long-time Professor of Biology at Ole Miss until his death in 2007. The whereabouts of the original of the letter if it still exists are unknown.<br /> Also included:<br /> James W. Silver. Mississippi: The Closed Society NY: Harcourt Brace 1964. Inscribed to Davis by Bill Keith along with an original one-page typed letter signed from Keith to Davis.<br /> <br /> James W. Silver. Running Scared: Silver in Mississippi. Inscribed from Keith to Davis.<br /> <br /> A four-page typed document which was distributed on the Ole Miss campus in late Sept. 1962 by the school's Board of Trustees. The first page is a statement from the Trustees that they are complying with the Federal Court order to enroll James Meredith. The remaining three pages are a copy of the official court order. The document is is signed by Wm. B. Keith on the first page. unknown
18656242Various locations 1865. About very good. Forty letters approximately 96pp. Many with original envelopes. Light wear and soiling old folds. In a legible hand. Together with twelve additional family letters and two military commissions. A wonderful archive of correspondence written home from the Confederate lines by William Henry Tabb of the 14th Mississippi Infantry. William Henry Tabb 1837-1864 was the son of a minister at the Choctaw Agency in Oktibbeha County Mississippi. In April 1861 he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Agency Guards which were soon absorbed as a company in the 14th Mississippi Infantry. He was captured at Fort Donelson exchanged reached the rank of captain and was with his regiment when he suffered a fatal wound in the defense of Atlanta on August 5 1864. <br /> <br /> Tabb begins his letters with optimism. On August 1861 after training in Corinth Mississippi the regiment met with a parade in Huntsville en route to eastern Tennessee: "The women men and children were down to see us and a regiment turned out to do us honor. Such cheering from beautiful young ladies all along our way is enough to make men brave." On October 22 1861 he recounts the recent death by disease of his brother Thomas Tabb in Marion Alabama also of the 14th Mississippi calling him "my dearest friend on earth."<br /> <br /> Tabb was captured at Fort Donelson in February of 1862. Two of these letters were written from the Union prison at Johnson's Island near Sandusky Ohio. In May 1862 he writes: "We are not allowed to write what nor as much as we please. I have no friends to work for me see no indications of a general exchange or parole and it is almost impossible to escape from this island. It is amusing to see men one day Confederate officers and the next day cooking or around the wash tub. We have no servants. I am well treated have a plenty not a variety of food and clothing that we need issued to us." By September 24th he was back with his regiment in Mississippi: "The Yankees stole my shoes and I am wearing an old pr of boots. It appears that my conduct at Donelson has been very highly spoken of. Well I.tried to do my duty but I am sure I did nothing extra. Indeed our regt in my opinion fell little short of disgracing itself." He adds a word on the troubled home front situation: "Am sorry to hear that the Negroes have commenced stealing. I would very much like to see all that have behaved themselves and wd thrash those who have been stealing."<br /> <br /> On April 11 1863 he describes the recent Battle of Ponchatoula which other companies in his regiment participated in: "Rollins was sent out with ten of the company on our right wing to try to flank them. As soon as he commenced firing on them we attacked their center and they broke to run. They were zouaves red pants we never could catch them." He lamented the loss of his enslaved servant on June 7th near Yazoo City: "I expected John to come to me. I have become attached to John and don't know how to get along without him. I look for him every day now." Tabb had some great stories about Grant's efforts to take Jackson the Mississippi capital from which Johnston's Confederates performed a stealth evacuation. On the 19th and 20th of July 1863 he wrote: "All of the boys wanted to stay and fight but Grant had 80000 men and we had only 30000. It is true we were behind breastworks but they were not good and the place could be easily flanked. Johnson prepared to evacuate the place from the time we got there. The Yankees knew it. Not a word was spoken not a command given. The Yankees knew nothing of our leaving. Some of our men did not know we had left and were left behind but overtook us. I hear that the Yankees commenced shelling the town the other morning after we left and kept it up til 9 o'clock when some of the citizens hoisted the white flag and surrendered the place. They were vexed to know that we had left them without their knowing anything about it."<br /> <br /> Tabb had been away from the regiment for the start of the Atlanta campaign and on July 9 1864 he wrote: "I reached the command the evening of the 5th and found my company.8 miles from Atlanta. I found the men dirty and many of them with worn out clothes and not very good rations but all in good spirits and glad to see me. The people of Atlanta are leaving rapidly. They think the place will be evacuated. Do not be surprised if you hear it. We will not be whipped if we do leave it." This is Tabb's final letter in the collection. He was shot a month later. The group concludes with nine condolence letters and memorials. An October 1864 memoriam copied in 1894 recounted his death: "At the time he received the fatal shot he was commanding the brigade skirmishers & was just forming the line to proceed to the front. Though terribly mangled & in great pain he was calm & collected." He survived long enough to send farewell thoughts to his family and to regret "that I was not spared to see my country through her troubles." Also included are two of Tabb's military commissions in the Agency Rifles from the State of Mississippi: as Second Lieutenant on 24 April 1861 and as First Lieutenant on 25 December 1861. Both are signed by Governor John J. Pettus. In all a wonderful archive from a Confederate soldier who saw significant action and imprisonment during the war. unknown

So help me God." The document is signed by Kerr as well as the Justice of the Peace James M. Amis and docketed on the verso "Thos. B. Kerr amnesty oath." Amnesty oaths from Mississippi are increasingly more rare in the market especially those directly referencing the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of slavery. November 3 unknown
