19363828<p>A wonderfully colorful map of a portion of the Philippines from the very early days of aviation in the country. PATCO the Philippine Aerial Taxi Company was organized in 1930 primarily to fly workers in the gold mining centers of Baguio and Paracale to and from Manila. With the fading of the mining boom in the late 1930s PATCO's fortunes waned; it ceased operations in 1940 and its franchise was assumed by the newly created Philippine Air Line in 1941.</p><p>The map was drawn by D.B. Santos. The cartoon-like illustrations portray a country rich in natural resources and agricultural hunting and fishing activities including a man spearing a shark from an outrigger canoe. The illustrations are very reminiscent of the style of Ruth Taylor White who coincidentally visited the Philippines in 1930 and produced <em>A Cartograph of the Major Philippine Islands. "The Riviera of the Orient."</em> in that year.</p><p>A delightful and uncommon pictorial map.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Printed color map. Folded as issued with a bit of extraneous creasing. Wear at some fold lines including short separations in the blank margins. Very small fold intersection breaks in two spots. Overall good.</p><p>ICN 7816.</p> PATCO Air Lines

19055045Manila: Sugar News Press 1905. Very good. 22pp. Photographically illustrated. Oblong quarto. Original pictorial wrappers stapled. Moderate dust-soiling and edge wear. Light even toning to text. An early and seemingly-unrecorded promotional touting the people and scenery in Mindanao and Sulu in the southern Philippines in the first decade of the 20th century. The work opens with a Foreword detailing the positive aspects of Mindanao particularly its principal city described here as the "Metropolis of Mindanao and Sulu" with "a population of more than thirty thousand a mixture of Moros or Mohammedan Filipinos Christian Filipinos Chinese Japanese and Europeans." Following the Foreword the remainder of the work is mostly comprised of thirty-four duotone photographs printed mostly two per page but occasionally with from one to five per page. The photographs feature numerous scenic and street views in and around Zamboanga including various "Moro houses" and about fifteen portraits of indigenous Filipinos such as a "Moro woman weaving materials for head-turbans and sarongs" a view inside a "weaving school" "Yakan Moros on the island of Basilan" "Muhammad Jamallul Sultan of Sulu" "Joloano Warriors" "Moro Kulintang" and their musical instruments Bogobo and Cotabato warriors "Bajaos - the sea gypsies of Sulu" and "Bogobo musicians."<br /> <br /> The final two pages of the work are taken up with two poems -- the first is a traditional Filipino poem entitled "No Te Vayas" noted as "Zamboanga's 'Auld Lang Syne" and one titled simply "Zamboanga" by Susan Hart Dyer. The front cover is decorated with a central photograph of an indigenous sailing vessel surrounded by an illustrated beach scene signed at bottom left "Jh. Mendoza." The inside front cover contains an illustration of the Philippine Islands from Batanes down to Sulu. We could locate no other copies of the work by title and imprint information in OCLC.

1902311327np 1902. 5-67 manuscript pages on the rectos of unbound sheets. 8 x 5 inches. Lacking the first 4 leaves and an indeterminate number at end several leaves quite worn each crudely taped or pasted to modern paper and then crudely cropped at the top edge without loss of text. 5-67 manuscript pages on the rectos of unbound sheets. 8 x 5 inches. This account consists of pages five to sixty-seven of what appears to be a diary or copied letters of an unnamed soldier in the 21st United States Infantry. The author who may have been a corporal remains unidentified by name. The account begins in August 1898 at Camp Hobson Lithia Springs GA; in September he is transferred to Plattsburgh NY rejoining the bulk of his regiment which had suffered heavy losses in Cuba. <br /> <br /> The Philippine-American war ran from February 1899 to July 1902 and was regarded as a continuation of a war for independence by the Philippines and as an insurrection by the United States of America. This account spans the duration of it providing rich detail on topics ranging from food to the war-ravaged environment and American-Philippino interactions both on and off the battlefield. <br /> <br /> An epic train ride across the country and then a boat from San Francisco brought the 21st US Infantry to Manila on 11 May 1899 in the fourth month of the conflict. The author mentions shipboard conditions an engine breaking down and comments "We caught 4 sharks in our trip. The largest was 12 feet long and took the whole crowd to land him aboard. the men used the bones for rings and pen holders and in fact every thing you could think."<br /> <br /> Their first combat was the capture of an insurgent outpost at Guadaloupa Ridge on 9 June 1899 where they "joined General Lauter's Flying Column . with eight chinamen to carry our rations."<br /> <br /> The description of this combat and its aftermath pages 33-41 is the most dramatic passage in the memoir. The writer was sent with another soldier to gather up some supplies that had been left behind but they were separated from the regiment with no food or water. They made a makeshift fort from some old haversacks and brush when they were unable to return to the trenches that night. The author describes scavenging after battle as follows: "About 10:00 oclock there was several chinamen came looking around and picking up what-ever they seen. They came to close to us to suit me and we shot 4 and the rest ran away."<br /> <br /> Going out in search of water at about four in the morning despite ongoing fire the author found several dead and mortally wounded soldiers from a black regiment including a graphic description of one man who had been shot at close range and had a hole the size of a fist in his belly and was covered in blood. Of the only survivor the author says: "Found one poor cuss shot through the hip. He could not move. I gave him some hard tack and he gave me water then I went back to our haversacks." Another disoriented soldier whom the author names as H. McBain was found wandering without most of his clothing brandishing a bottle of wine and an axe. <br /> <br /> After waiting until the 11th for a reclamation detail the author and his companion crawled through the brush for a mile to San Peter McCarty and eventually rejoined their regiment at Los Penes where their captain threatened to have them court-martialed for losing their haversacks. <br /> <br /> Later while hospitalized the author was befriended by Señora Edna Luna cousin of an insurgent general who took him out riding daily: "She was stuck on me and that is no lie. I think I ought to go back and hook up with her as she has all that is required. She is hansome & plenty of money" page 45. <br /> <br /> The author -- first too ill to be moved then put in a wheel chair and with trouble with his vision -- was transferred back to the States on 15 May 1900 page 48 by way of Nagasaki May 21 1900 and Yokohama arrived in San Francisco on June 9 1900 then was sent to recover at Hot Springs Arkansas concluding in Vancouver Barracks Washington circa July 1901. <br /> <br /> Some of the pages are torn and some text is lost at the bottom edges due to wear but the handwriting is clear and the voice of the author shines through. This narrative though it took place before World War One reads more akin to a Vietnam War narrative than a Civil War diary in tone and disregard for authority and the morality of war. unknown
