1868WRCAM33573Washington 1868. 39pp. plus large color folding map. Modern maroon cloth gilt maroon morocco label. Minor dust soiling in text. Map bright and clean. Overall very good. An application to Congress by the Northern Pacific Railroad headed by Minnesota railroad magnate James J. Hill for federal aid to support the Railroad's expansion to the West Coast. The petition reviews the railroad's original charter and includes an impressive color folding map "Map of the Country from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean" which illustrates the railroad's route from Duluth to Seattle and Portland. This map was originally produced to accompany Edwin Johnson's report on the feasibility of the railroad. This is one of the finest maps of the region traversed to be issued up to this time and was produced by Colton in New York not by the government. Wheat devotes several pages to discussing it noting that "the detail of such a map defies cataloging." Above the map appears an elevation chart for the same distance. <br> <br> A fine account of railroad expansion in the Northwest. Rare. Not on OCLC. MIDLAND NOTES 68-164.

19902311843Tokyo: Kodansha International 1990. 5th Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. Fifth printing. Minor general wear. 1990 Mass Market Paperback. 339 pp. "Many books have been written about Japan's surrender in World War II but the definitive story can only be told by the Japanese themselves. This brilliant reconstruction of the bitter hours preceding the surrender announcement of Emperor Hirohito is based on material compiled by the Pacific War Research Society a panel of distinguished Japanese authors and journalists. In minute and vivid detail it relates the history-making events of the brief twenty-four-hour period before the Emperor's broadcast that changed the course of nations-and the lives of millions. During those hours-while hot-blooded young army officers were in violent conflict about whether to surrender or not-one man General Korechika Anami Minister of War with his indomitable will and loyalty stood firm in his conviction that the Emperor's word must be obeyed. That conviction led him to the supreme sacrifice sepukku and his country to peace. Japan's Longest Day is a penetrating document on the tragic personalities who played out their last great roles on the crumbling stage that was the Imperial Empire of Japan.

It must well have been one of the most remarkable scientific meetings ever held. The main objects of the Congress like those of the first held in Honolulu in 1920 and of the second held in Australia in 1923 were 1 to initiate and promote co-operation in the study of scientific problems relating to the Pacific region more especially those affecting the prosperity and well-being of the Pacific peoples and 2 to promote a feeling of brotherhood and to strengthen the bonds of peace among Pacific peoples. It was laid down that all branches of physical and biological science formed proper subjects for discussion provided that they bore upon some Pacific problem."<br/><br/>OCLC Worldcat notes two copies of this pamphlet and two other variations.
