49 pages. Oblong 8.5 x 11". Printed upon glossy stock. Map. Generously illustrated with reproductions of archival black and white photos of locomotives and the trains they pulled, accompanied by very informative text. "The selection of photos which follows is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of steam in Cuba as this would be impossible in this size of book. However, it is intended to be representative, with record shots and shed shots mixed with action photos and scenic views, all illustrating locomitives at work or at rest on the four different gauges still in use. With one exception, no mill is featured on more than two pages." - Introduction. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear. A sound copy of this excellent reference. Book

1900542Havana 1900. Good. Three typescript letters 4pp. total. Previously folded light chipping at edges. Evenly tanned. An interesting series of three letters from the Adjutant General W.V. Richards at U.S. Army Headquarters in Havana after the end of the Spanish-American War during the period of American military government. On February 28 1900 the military governor herein authorized the purchase of a book collection owned by heirs of a Don José Maria de Cardenas y Rodriguez from the town of Guanabacoa for the formation of a library at the university in Havana "at a price not to exceed $4000." In the second letter dated April 17 the collection seems to have been sold out from under them at a much lower price which has left the governor wondering why the university could not acquire the books with the allotted funds. In the third letter dated May 23 the collection seems to be for sale again by a third party and the governor again states that he is willing to purchase the collection for the previously stated sum "However to warn you that there has been so much said about the purchase of this Library for the Institute that there is danger that some of the books may have been extracted or that the property is not as valuable as when it was inspected." A neat record of a book deal gone sideways in 1900 Havana. unknown books
