013517Nicolas Oudinot (1791-1863), général, député du Maine et Loire, commandant de l'expédition italienne de 1849. L.A.S., Grenoble, 26 octobre 1848, 4p in-4. Très importante et intéressante lettre à un haut responsable piémontais à Turin, probablement un personnage de l'importance de Vittorio Colli de Felizzano (1787-1856), homme politique et militaire important du royaume de Sardaigne alors en poste à Turin. Dans cette très longue lettre, il regrette de ne pouvoir donner les renseignements demandés, mentionne le « moral des troupes autrichiennes [qui] doit être fortement ébranlé par les événements survenus dans la mère patrie » sans pour autant penser que les piémontais puissent en profiter. Il pense que « l'armée de Charles-Albert » a besoin d'alliés, « l'intervention française ne serait pas moins utile à mon Pays qu'au vôtre ; je la désire donc ; je souhaite ardemment que l'alliance de nos gouvernements se consolide de plus en plus ». Il précise aussi avoir envoyé un officier pour recueillir les renseignements de son correspondant. Très beau document autour de la formation de l'Italie. [304-2]
1923177341923. Clement Studio Ku Klux Klan march in Milo Maine 1923 documents the public visibility of the 1920s Klan revival in a rural Northeastern town. The image records the first daylight Ku Klux Klan parade and the first Klan parade in New England held during Milo's centennial celebration on September 3 1923. Its research value lies in its direct visual evidence of white supremacist performance anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant intimidation and the spread of Klan organizing beyond the South during the interwar period.<br /> <br /> Clement Studio. Ku Klux Klan march Milo Maine. Milo Maine: Clement Studio September 3 1923. Black-and-white silver gelatin real photo postcard. 5.25 x 3.5 inches. The photograph shows hooded Klansmen in white robes marching through Milo with several participants carrying American flags. The Metropolitan Museum of Art records a related Clement Studio image with the negative inscription: "First Parade in N.E. States of Ku Klux Klan. Milo. Maine Sept 3. 1923. Centennial Celebration."<br /> <br /> The photograph belongs to the period when the revived Klan used parades recruitment flags robes and public ceremony to normalize racial religious and nativist exclusion. In Maine Klan activity particularly targeted Catholic and immigrant communities including French Canadian and Irish populations while also drawing on national anti-Black anti-Jewish and anti-immigrant ideology. Minor small stain along upper margin not affecting image; very good. A stark local record of the Klan's Northeastern expansion and its use of daylight public spectacle as intimidation. unknown

19389734London: John Murray 1938. Sara Delano Roosevelt's copy of her son's biography with her initials "SDR" in pencil to the front free end paper from the collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams a relative of FDR and his mother. Sara Delano Roosevelt clearly read the book with close interest as indicated by the marginal pencil lines scattered throughout the text. As these annotations are fairly extensive albeit heavily concentrated in the latter two-thirds of the book which concentrate on F.D.R.'s political career 1910s-1930s it is difficult to identify Sara's precise points of interest although there is the odd occurrence. For example on p.96 a less-encountered double-line is pencilled next to a sentence regarding F.D.R.'s embarkation on a new destroyer the Dyer during the First World War on which occasion "since he was sailing under secret orders neither his wife nor his mother could see him off" perhaps a difficult memory that stuck in Sara's mind. More broadly sections concerning family friends and commentary regarding F.D.R.'s political achievements appear to have elicited the most interest. A touching relic indicative of Sara's famous devotion and steadfast support for her son whom she lived to see elected three times as President of the United States. An account of the life and character of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt by family friend writer and music critic Basil Maine 1894-1972. The present copy comes from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr 1910-2001 the son of Ellen Walters Delano who was a first cousin to President Roosevelt. Adams became a passionate bibliophile who served as director of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City for two decades and compiled a significant personal collection relating to F.D.R. In 1969 he married his third wife who was a Swedish princess and with whom he shared the final years of his life in France. Adams' move to France explains the presence of his books in the United Kingdom. First edition. Publisher's original pink cloth with titles in gilt to the spine. Illustrated with nine black and white photographs. Panels of the original dustwrapper loosely laid in along with a newspaper obituary of Sir Sayaji Rao Indian ruler of Baroda who was a guest at the White House in 1934. A very good copy the binding square and firm with a little fading to the spine. The contents with toning to two text pages resulting from the insertion of the newspaper cutting are otherwise excellent throughout.

That we do most solemnly in behalf of the people of this State protest against the existence of any laws in any of the States of Territories of this Union which subject our free colored citizens to the liability to be arrested and imprisoned and to be sold into slavery for the payment of the costs of such arrest and imprisonment; that we do protest against such laws as unconstitutional and as endangering the Union."

187911869Augusta ME: George E. Nason Printer 1879. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. Octavo 77pp. A clean sound very good copy in the publisher's printed wraps. Long tear and crease to the rear wrap with one small hole affecting the last leaf with no text. Two contemporary library labels internally not at all offensive. A vanishingly scarce volume recording the proceedings of some early reunions of the First Maine Cavalry regiment. Detailed reminiscences of the war make up much of the contents as well as some soldier-authored poetry and some administrative business. As with many cavalry regiments the First Maine saw significant action from the beginning to the end of the war at too many battles to list but including at Gettysburg and in Sheridan's final campaign through Virginia. OCLC notes a single holding at AAS. Ephemeral and considerably rarer than the two regularly published regimental histories of the regiment which both command strong prices in the rare book market.

196126558London: Hodder and Stoughton. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1961. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped nice tight clean copy just the teensiest bumping to the lower front corner; the jacket is virtually flawless downgraded from Fine only because of the price-clipping and a touch of soiling to the rear panel. "John Soames is thirty years old and physiologically speaking alive. But by some trick of fate he has never become conscious. He is awoken and brought to full consciousness by a surgeon's knife a newborn baby with the body of a healthy young man." Basis for the 1970 British-American film of the same name starring Terence Stamp and Robert Vaughn; a critical and box-office disappointment on its original release the film has gained a bit of a retrospective cult reputation with one online critic calling it "a dark gem and a worthy pretender to the British horror hall of fame." Uncommon in the first edition all the more so in such outstanding condition. . Hodder and Stoughton hardcover books
