196548531Lewiston Maine: Inter-Continental Inc 1965. First edition. Very good. Rare program for Muhammad Ali's legendary rematch against Sonny Liston signed as "Muhammad Ali" shortly before the bout only a year after he took the name - and additionally signed by three other heavyweight champs present at Ali's training camp: Joe Louis Jim Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott. Ali's swift and crushing defeat of Sonny Liston in the first round of their second title fight in May of 1965 remains not only one of the most iconic moments of Ali's storied career and of boxing history - but also in all of sports. An almost 2-1 underdog Ali's knockout after less than two minutes was famously captured in photographer Neil Leifer's legendary image of Ali towering over the fallen Liston. It remains one of the greatest sports photographs ever taken. <br /> <br /> The fight's status today however is belied in many ways by the humble circumstances of its original context. Postponed due to Ali's hernia surgery it was then rescheduled in the small industrial Maine town of Lewiston - partially because it was the one of the few arenas procurable on short notice but also because major venues were reluctant to be associated with Ali who was increasingly seen as a draft dodger. The fight was sparsely attended: by most accounts only about 2500 of the roughly 4500 seats in the Lewiston high school hockey rink were filled that night. Thus surviving examples of this program are scarce. <br /> <br /> Prior to the bout Ali had holed up at the Schine Inn in Chicopee MA to train talk to the media and receive well-wishers. On May 20 1965 five days before the fight he hosted three fellow champions: the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis Jim Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott who would also be the referee for the match where all four of these signatures were gathered the original owner noting as much above the signatures of Louis Braddock and Walcott. <br /> <br /> The program also reflects the confusion controversy and outright resistance surrounding Ali's recent name change. At the start of the fight itself the boxer was booed by the Lewiston crown when the ring announcer introduced him as "Muhammad Ali." Ali is referred to throughout the program as both Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali and sometimes both at once. Ali had taken the name only the previous years after an address by Elijah Muhammad conferred him with the honorific meaning "most high one worthy of praise". <br /> <br /> This signature therefore represents one of the verifiably earliest "Muhammad Ali" autographs - and on the program and at the training camp for one of his most famous matches. A rare document linking Ali not only to the great Black boxers who immediately preceded him but capturing him at the very cusp of his popular transformation from heavyweight champion to civil rights leader anti-war activist and ultimately legendary humanitarian. A totemic object from the career of one of the 20th century's most famous important and influential figures. 11'' x 8.5''. Original black-and-white pictorial wrappers with red and blue elements saddle-stapled. Illustrated in black and white. 8 leaves. Signed by Ali in blue ink to verso of first leaf over his image. Additionally signed by Joe Louis James Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott to blank verso of third leaf below the holograph caption likely original owner's: "The Schine Inn / May 20 1965." Wrapper with a bit of toning tiny area of discoloration to lower staple; careful narrow glue repair to upper spine very close inspection only. Leaves with a touch of toning. Else clean and sound.

Samuel Allison 1739-1791 was a Burlington attorney who had an interest in both politics and the law. In 1762 he was commissioned as one of the surrogates for West Jersey and was put to work compiling a new edition of provincial laws which is the current volume and covers the period from 1702 to 1776. Allison was a Quaker who opposed slavery and secession from the British Empire. He worked throughout his life to end slavery and became a spokesperson for a sizeable Quaker community in New Jersey. The present work includes coverage of relief of the poor raising money for public buildings preventing the waste of timber and the regulation of slaves.
