17953732This is the first general history of Maine written in the post-Revolutionary War time period that saw several state histories published including those by Belknap Jefferson and Ramsay.

The map measuring 20 5/16 x 16 3/8" includes an inset titled <i>A Map of those parts of the Country most famous for being harassed sic by the Indians</i>.

535894to. 10 pages rectos only though Gould has sketched a map with troop placements and annotations on the verso of one leaf approximately 1200 words. Folded corners of two leaves chipped some edgewear. Some browning but quite legible throughout. After a quarter century during which time he published a history of his regiment John M. Gould. History of the First-Tenth-Twenty Ninth Maine Regiment; Portland 1871 Gould is still searching for the identity of the Confederate regiment that faced his near the East Woods at Antietam. Reporting to Law the commander of the 4th Alabama Infantry in that bloody battle Gould relates his findings in excruciating detail quoting correspondents from a dozen regiments commanders junior officers and non-commissioned officers from both sides who have given him conflicting reports almost all of which stand at odds with official published reports as to the deployment of their units in the chaos of Hood's counter attack against Hooker's corps that blunted the initial Union assault early on the morning of 17 September 1862. _"It is quite clear that Hooker's fragments did not offer very serious resistance to Hood's advance. As far as the East Wood is concerned the 10th Maine was their first real obstacle . Judge Smith of the 5th Texas writes of the exceedingly severe fight the 1st was having with some Union forces & that both parties were showing their best 'staying qualities.' Then Gen. Hood noticing a force coming out of the East Wood said to Capt. Turner 'You may attend to those people!' I can't understand who this Union force was . this succession of events is extremely puzzling." Gould closes by asking Law not to refer to printed sources all of which he was familiar with but asked for any personal comments on his long commentary. "At present it appears to me that Gordon's Brigade did not follow up Hood sharply or at all & that Ripley & Colquitt replaced Hood but the latter line was considerably south of yours. How does that accord with your idea" In addition to his history of the regiments he served in during the Civil War Gould contributed a number of articles to the "National Tribune" relating to Antietam and corresponded with veterans from both sides as referred to often in this letter seeking information on various controversies surrounding the battle. He later donated hundreds of these letters to the Antietan Battlefield Board. Detailed letters on major Civil War battles by participants even those fueled by recollections shaded by decades of discussion and dispute are uncommon in trade. <br/><br/> unknown books

1862WRCAM55597Various locations mostly Louisiana 1862. 120pp. Contemporary sheep later leatherette backstrip title stamped in dark brown on front board reading "GUARD BOOK D. CO. 12TH. REG. MAINE." Some edge wear mild chipping and light scuffing to boards. Front hinge detached spine cracked. Occasional thumb-soiling to text. Still very good. A manuscript record book documenting an entire year of guard duty worked by various members of Company D 12th Maine Infantry Regiment Volunteers during the early part of the Civil War. The majority of time recorded in this book emanates from Louisiana while the 12th Maine Regiment was attached to Butler's Expeditionary Corps from January to March 1862. On their way to Louisiana the regiment travelled on the Steamship Constitution to Ship Island Mississippi serving there until May 4 1862. The Regiment then traveled to New Orleans for guard duty at the U.S. Mint until October 1862. While in New Orleans the Regiment took part in the expedition to Pass Manchaca from June 16 to 20 and the expedition to Ponchatoula from September 13 to 18. In October the Regiment moved slightly north to Camp Parapet in Shrewsbury Louisiana and served there until November 19 1862; the record book ends here. <br> <br> Each two-page opening of the ledger is pre- printed with a large column on the left for names and thirty-one numbered smaller columns for marking days served on guard duty. Most days have just one or two tick marks for any particular soldier indicating just one or two men were on active patrol mostly privates but also sergeants corporals musicians wagoners and others. The number of guard shifts worked by the regiment increased dramatically in May 1862 when they arrived at the U.S. Mint in New Orleans before falling off again the next month presumably after some relief arrived. In addition to guard duty service notations indicate reasons for absences such as "died at" "sick" "in confinement" "permanent detail" "enlisted for cook" "light duty" "in the woods" and "hospital." Notations from February 1862 indicate that James H. Andrews died onboard the Constitution on February 14 and two other soldiers caught sickness at Fortress Monroe. Another entry shows that S.G. Tracy "Died at Ship Island 12 of April 1862." Later in July Capt. H.W. Dunn is detailed for daily duty at the "Reding Press" in New Orleans. In August G.F. Drown is "Detailed as Nurse in General Hospital St. James Hotel N.O." <br> <br> Material from the Trans-Mississippi West is rare this early in the Civil War and also usually not as thorough as the present record book documents an entire year of service. A unique record of Civil War service for a peripatetic Maine volunteer infantry regiment serving in the Bayou State. hardcover books
1920WRCAM45906Maine and various places in Europe 1920. A total of 248 original photographic prints. Oblong octavo albums. Original black morocco spines gilt titles as transcribed below. Albums with some shelf wear; European album slightly cocked lower portion of front joint splitting. The photographs are clean and in excellent condition. An outstanding collection of photographic images of scenes in Maine coastal France and the Channel Islands. The photographs were taken by an MIT Professor who apparently vacationed in Maine on a regular basis and who also visited England and France in the year before the outbreak of World War I. The albums of Maine images ably show the natural beauty of far western Maine while the album of scenes in France and England captures life in small villages and towns in Normandy Brittany and the Channel Islands before the peace of the region was shattered by the Great War. Two of the albums feature silver gelatin prints that have been printed directly onto the album sheets with accompanying handwritten captions. The third album consists of photographic prints affixed to sheets of the album. <br> <br> Though without ownership signatures we attribute these albums to Ralph Restieaux Lawrence a Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT. These albums came with other photographic albums made by Lawrence on trips to the American West and Canada featuring photographs done in a similar style captioned and bound as these albums. Ralph Restieaux Lawrence b. 1873 was born in Cambridge Massachusetts and graduated from MIT in 1895. He taught electrical engineering at MIT from 1896 to 1941 and apparently enjoyed photography and traveling as the present albums would indicate. <br> <br> The three albums are: <br> <br> 1 HEALD POND MAINE 1907. Thirty-nine original photographic prints most approximately 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches each print affixed to a sheet in the album the sheets measuring 8 x 10 inches. Original oblong octavo album. This album contains a series of lovely photographs of the area around Heald Pond in west-central Maine not far from the Canadian border. Heald Pond is known for its natural beauty - ably captured in these photographs - and for its hiking trails. The photographs in this album are uncaptioned but show a number of images of the large pond and surrounding area as well as cabins and campsites. <br> <br> 2 PHOTOGRAPHS EUROPE 1913. 162 original silver gelatin prints approximately 3 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches each printed directly onto a sheet in the album the sheets measuring 6 3/4 x 9 1/4 inches. Each image is identified by a manuscript caption on the facing sheet. Original oblong octavo album. The pictures show scenes in France and England mostly in the regions of Brittany and Normandy the Channel Islands of Jersey Guernsey and Sark and the towns of Warwick and Stratford- upon-Avon. Many of the photographs show life in villages or larger towns such as Caen in Normandy. There are a number of photographs of scenes in and around the Brittany village of Concarneau including market scenes fetes and scenes along the port but other villages such as Pont-Aven and Vitre are included as well. Many of the photographs in the British islands show castles ruins towns and coastal scenes. In all a magnificent series of photographs of this region on the verge of World War I. <br> <br> 3 PHOTOGRAPHS ATTEAN MAINE 1920. Forty- seven original silver gelatin prints on average 3 x 5 inches one of them a panoramic photo 3 x 13 1/2 inches on a folded sheet each printed directly onto a sheet in the album the sheets 7 x 9 1/2 inches. Each image is identified by a manuscript caption on the facing sheet. Original oblong octavo album. Attean Lake is a resort area located in west- central Maine and this album of attractive silver gelatin prints shows scenes from a vacation taken there by Lawrence in 1920. The panoramic photograph is a lovely view of Attean Lake from a high perspective on nearby Mount Sally. There are several other pictures from Mount Sally as well as images of camps vistas from lake level nearby woods other ponds etc. unknown books

140940258Melbourne Australia: Fast Forward 1982. Complete run of 13 issues in 12 #008/009 is a double issue. Magazines often folded and sometimes staple bound with a variety of folded inserts with cassettes housed in silk-screened colored plastic wallets. Near Fine condition overall appearing to contain all inserts etc.; slightly rubbed and soiled occasional slight creasing to inserts or oxidation to staples. Small tear to rear wallet of #005. Issue 008/009 wallet gilt lettering well-rubbed. Offsetting to wallet of #011. Rare as a set.<br /> <br /> <p>One of the very first cassette magazines which was popular financially successful and proved to be influential in the burgeoning global "cassette culture" of '80s independent music directly spawning such other projects as Sub Pop editor/ label head Bruce Pavitt was a contributor to the double-issue and the UK's Mix. The audio portion was structured somewhat like an old-timey news broadcast featuring new music as well as interviews with musicians. In addition to featuring the sounds of Aussies The Birthday Party Primitive Calculators Dead Can Dance Scientists and the Go-Betweens et al many prominent cutting-edge British and American musicians such as Pere Ubu The Clash The Fall The Residents Adam and the Ants and Gang of Four were interviewed and sometimes provided songs. Being Australian the magazine was bound to have a sense of humor. Robert Smith of The Cure got in on the act and provided "A Few Stylish Tips" in #013 about how he obtained that perfect lift for his '80s hair: soap and water. Crossword puzzles became a feature early on. Also Michael Trudgeon's design of the magazine was inspired growing in sophistication throughout the run adding inserts steadily stylishly utilizing only one or two colors in the printing process. <p>A real acme of early '80s independent music print and design cultures. Its run lends credence to the idea that post-punk truly went beyond punk in many ways. Fast Forward unknown
18487350Standish Maine 1848. Quarto 8.25 x 13 inches 336 numbered pages. Marbled boards over half-calf; gilt-ruled spine. Pages hand-ruled in red. ~ An account book of a prosperous and well-stocked general store with manuscript entries in chronological order from the town of Standish Maine. The first journal entries in the accounts page 16 are headed "Standish September 11 1844" and the final headed "Standish May 13th 1848". The account book records daily sales and records customer names along with details of the purchases of foodstuffs sewing supplies building materials various types of alcohol spices and more. Specific items include: nails powder coffee cambric flannel silk velvet trimming for coat raisins ink eggs saleratus butter whiting panes of glass fish Borax tea sugar calico ticking tobacco pepper pork crackers oil olive oil ribbon pork meal antimony turpentine cayenne pimento wine brandy c. candy chalk lime beef stake and iron. A wide variety of measurements are present " Bushel Corn" "1 pt. N New England Rum" "6 yards sheeting" "25 #fish" " Bushel Oats" " oz. Nutmeg" "1 Pair Calf Boots" "1 qt Whiskey for Medicine" "1 Gallon Molasses" "1 Box Mustard" " 1 Qt. Gin" and there are barrels gills cords and so on. Some "finished" items such as an almanac boots a padlock matches and a broom are sold. The account names are mostly men and include Benjamin Morton Daniel Freeman Samuel Phinney Simeon Mansfield Philbrisk B. Abbot Seth Higgins Moses L. Sanborn Benjamin Meserve and dozens more. School District No. 5 purchases a padlock and a broom. A copy of Mitchell's Geography is sold on June 2nd 1847. It's notable that sometime in late 1846 or early 1847 sale of spirits now have the words "for medicine" appended. By 1848 the clarification has been dropped. Balances are kept and payments recorded although not all clients paid with cash; a "Richard Whiswell" paid his debt for items including Castile soap and cassis by sawing wood and working in the garden on more than one occasion. A "J.G. Robinson" purchases a gallon of oil by bartering "1 pair women's shoes to be sold for 6/ or returned." Payment of an employee's wages Daniel D. Lowell are included page 257 "By your services in my store one year from June 18 1846 to June 18 1847 $100.00". ~ While this account book bears no "title page" internal evidence supports the identity of the keeper of the records as Gardner Dennett 1822-1877 of Standish Maine. A number of times significant debits are made to pay a "balance of note". Each time these are debits in the name of G. Dennett. Also laid-in page 267 is a receipt for building materials purchase elsewhere naming Dennett as the buyer. Gardner is listed as "Trader" in a variety of contemporary lists and became postmaster of Standish on August 22nd of 1847 during the period of accounts recorded here. Just a month before this account books ends Gardner was one of the founding Trustees of the Standish Academy. "Mary Dennett" also appears regularly both as a client and as a participant in the business. She was not however Gardner's wife he married Eliza R. Howe October 19 1836 but his mother Mary Lowell Dennett. Standish in Cumberland County is about fifteen miles north of Portland. The town was settled by Massachusetts residents and named in honor of Captain Myles Standish. ~ The first sixteen pages of accounts have been pasted over with newspaper clippings circa late 1880's the clippings forming more of a commonplace book than a cookery compilation. The clippings include a near full-page lithograph of the operatic soprano Clara Louise Kellogg a lengthy depiction of the wedding of Daniel C. Thompson of Berwick to Dorcas Hayes of North Yarmouth many poems an engraving of the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey Ca. and a history of the Statue of Liberty which provides a rough dating of the addition of the clippings as the article states the "the Collosus to be unveiled to-day" - October 28 1886. The manuscript is in remarkably good condition for a daily working document such as an account book and is in a single neat hand throughout almost entirely legible. Some light stains or smudges but nothing that is not evidence of use in the positive sense. The free front endpaper is missing a two-inch piece of the lower right corner; some offsetting from leather corners. Rubbed and somewhat soiled the binding is blue marbled boards over half- plain calf gilt-ruled at the spine. Some scuffing and chipping to spine leather. Laid-in are a number of pressed ferns. Good or a bit better. Still overall an attractive piece of evidence of the workings of a general store in the early years of it Maine's statehood and a document of various aspects of the food system of the time including local and global distribution labor and shifting laws. hardcover books
