186076891Camp Seco Calaveras County: N.p. 1860. Gold Rush era broadside 4 3/4 x 10 inches.

As anticipated we could locate no other copy of this broadside.A scarce California Gold Rush broadside announcing the Grand Anniversary Celebration of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Campo Seco on April 26 1860. The broadside details the entire schedule including a morning assembly at Odd Fellows’ Hall music by the band prayer by the Grand Chaplain ode oration procession dinner and evening festivities.Apparently the I.O.O.F. were the organizers but as the population was small they also included The Sons of Temperance Daughters of Temperance Firemen Masons and Citizens in the processional a formal parade. The sheet also gives the route of procession from Lancha Plana through local streets to Campo Seco near the Catholic Church. Campo Seco was a small but active Gold Rush town in Calaveras County whose population probably peaked at roughly 1000 residents in the early 1850s. N.p. unknown

Original printed gray wrappers 8vo xiv 1 16-53 pages. 23 cm. <br> English translation of the Jewish Response to the First Anti-Shechitah Campaign in America responding with an explanation of the necessity for Jews to maintain the laws of ritual slaughter.<br> Aaron Zebi Friedman 1822-76 served as shochet or ritual slaughterer in his native Poland before immigrating to New York in 1848 where he found employment in one of the city’s largest kosher slaughterhouses.<br> In 1866 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals launched the first anti-Shehitah campaign in America. The president of the Society Henry Bergh dispatched a letter to the proprietor of a kosher abattoir in New York accusing him of engaging in "barbarous revolting and wicked" practices–the letter is reproduced in full in this work. Bergh further called on him to desist from violating the laws of New York and of God by "mangling and torturing his creatures."<br> Interestingly among the members listed in the letterhead of Bergh’s letter were August Belmont the Rothschilds' representative in America and Charles P. Daly a chief justice of New York.<br> In 1875 Aaron Zebi Friedman renowned for his piety composed a sharp rejoinder entitled Tub Taam to refute Bergh's accusations. He not only succeeded in silencing Bergh but even in convincing him: In 1885 Bergh defended shechitah against charges of cruelty leveled by the Philadelphia branch of his Society. Goldman 1092; JE Vol. V p. 518.<br> Among those who supported the Jewish position on Shechitah in the struggle against the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was President Ulysses S. Grant. According to Joakim Isaacs Grant "was moved by this English translation.to eat only ritually slaughtered meat in the latter part of his life" See J. Isaacs "Candidate Grant and the Jews" American Jewish Archives 17. 1 1965 p. 15 n. 31; I. H. Sharfman The First Rabbi 1988 pp. 591-92. <br> Apropos of the current culture wars animal rights organizations and activists within and outside of the Jewish world continue to criticize kosher slaughtering practices on the grounds of animal cruelty.

Sm. 4to., on laid paper; original printed wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, upper wrapper with divisional crest in yellow and black, lower wrapper with small unobtrusive stain in one corner, a remarkably clean, bright copy. A key component of Second Army, the famous West Country Division captured Mount Picon, forced the crossing of the Seine, were the first British troops to fight in Germany, and turned the tide in the Reichswald enabling the Allies to close with the Rhine. As part of Horrocks' 30 Corps, the division also took part in the headlong rush to Nijmegen in GARDEN. Locally printed, probably on a commissioned press, this humble pamphlet is nevertheless a moving tribute to one of the most famous British fighting units of WWII. A RARE SURVIVAL AND CONSIDERABLY MORE ELUSIVE THAN ITS SECOND ARMY COUNTERPART.
