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

1869020893New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1869. 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. This issue with editorial correspondence written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton as well as a letter by Susan B. Anthony addressing concerns from readers regarding George Train's contributions to the journal etc. GOOD condition. Several fold creases present with other general wrinkling.

1898112787Philadelphia: Globe Bible Publishing 1898. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7 in to 9 in Tall. Two great boks in one volume. Decorated hardcover no dust jacket. 569 pages. Illustrated. THE HISTORY of the world is largely a history of wars. Whether or not it is true that civilization gets forward upon a powder-cart it is undeniable that the powder-cart keeps well up with the procession. The present work is a record of two wars closely associated together and both making especially direct appeal to the sympathies of the American people. It was in a war that our own freedom and in- dependence were won. We cannot then regard with indifference the much longer and not less heroic struggles of Cuba for the same great bless- ings. They have been conducted almost within sight of our own shores and have materially affected our own interests. They cannot be forgotten while liberty is loved or valor appre- ciated. Neither can the story of them told as it is in this volume in hot blood directly from the field of suffering and strife and triumph be other than fascinating to the student or to the patriot. It had been the lot of this country to wage three great wars before the present. The first was for independence. The second was for sovereign rights in equality with all other nations. The third was for the preservation of the Union. All three were gloriously successful both in the triumph of our arms and in the establishment of the principles for which they were waged. <br/> <br/> Globe Bible Publishing hardcover
