1899021941Little Brown and Company: 1899. 360 pages with 79 b&w photographs. "The Spanish-American War of 1898 was the justification of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. The history of the 6th Massachusetts in the Spanish-American War is unique in that its campaign was almost a bloodless one the absence of battles and the few months it was in the field rendering its experiences different in kind and degree from those regiments which were in the Civil War almost as many years and even for its sister regiments in Cuba in '98. And while the following account is written with a full appreciation of the seemingly insuramountable difficulties overcome by the War Department in an incredibly short space of time in addition to the necessary hardships of army life and it not intended in any sense as a "lament" there is that to record of interest not only to the regiment itself but to its friends." VERY GOOD HARDCOVER brown illustrated covers. This book as two photographs tipped into the book. On the front blank endpaper "this photograph of Hazel W. Newton nice of Corporal Frank A. Haines was carried by him throughout his service in the Spanish War in 1898." In the back of the book there is a photograph of Corp. Frank A. Haines in uniform. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket Present. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Little, Brown and Company: Hardcover

1956021525No Place: No publisher 1956. Unbound. Good. Various places and dates. Dates range from April 25 1956 to June 27 1956. 14 leaves printed on single sides only. It appears most are copies of originals but a few may be original as well. All these letters stem from a proposal letter written by Ambassador Whiting Willauer to his friend and insurance executive from whose estate these came. Willauer mentions his troubles with some Chinese refugees he sponsored which made him ponder the possibility for some sort of insurance for sponsors of refugees to cover financial losses in case the refugees are not able to fulfill their obligations stipulated in the Refugee Act of 1953. The letters are between other US insurance executives pondering options and feasibility with the eventual conclusion that the proposal was not practical. The act itself was meant to accommodate 200000 refugees affected by communism. The earliest letter is from US Ambassador Whiting Willauer on "The Foreign Service of the United States of America" letterhead and apparently written from Honduras where Willauer was serving at the time. Notably Willauer along with Claire Chennault established the Civilian Air Transport Company in China in 1946 selling it to the CIA in 1950 although not resigning from the company until 1954. At this time he became ambassador to Honduras and worked directly with the CIA in Guatemala in support of their operation to overthrow its government led by Jacobo Arbenz Guzman see Wikipedia for previous information-or misinformation. Willauer's letter does bear a signature but we have not authenticated it in any way. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. GOOD condition. Letters mounted by metal clip in a manila folder. Some wrinkling to the letters with a few handwritten notes to some of them. No publisher unknown
021800No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. World War I Collection of Correspondence. Approximately 15 letters. Some with original envelopes. All circa August 1918 to November 1919. All single sheets 2 to 4 pages long handwritten. With two small cabinet card photos of a young woman. These letters were written by Admiral E.K. Moore from the Hotel Connor in Nice France as well as the American Hospital in France. They were written to the wife of Major John Knowlton no first name for the wife given in the letters unfortunately and regarded the health of Major Knowlton. Major Knowlton served as a doctor in France in World War I and it appears he became ill in the Summer of 1918 eventually being diagnosed with spinal meningitis. This caused him to lose his memory and resulted in a lengthy hospital stay. Because of this his wife was not originally notified. These letters from Admiral Moore describe Knowlton's health and improvement as well as his transfer to another hospital. It appears Knowlton eventually recovered fully and returned home to the US with some of the later letters addressing the gratitude apparently expressed by the Knowltons. All in GOOD condition with fold creases some toning and other general wear. Envelopes very worn. No publisher unknown

1871020733New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1871. Wraps. Good. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Early issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way.
