ELEUTERIO SANCHEZ
CAMINA O REVIENTA
525 PAGINASMEMORIAS DE EL LUTEFue llevada al cine.Va mucho más allá que el trepidante relato de las increíbles aventuras de El Lute: en sus líneas de pasión y verdad se retrata magistralmente tanto la sociedad de finales del franquismo como la psicología de un hombre que impulsado por su amor a la libertad logró llegar más allá de su propia resistencia física.Escapó dos veces de la prisión mediante espectaculares e imposibles fugas y pudo superar una y otra vez cercos férreos y búsquedas exhaustivas de la guardia civil sin más apoyo que su inteligencia instinto y resistencia física. En su fuga sabía que sólo tenía dos opciones: caminar o reventar.

ELIAS D SMITH
1858 HANDWRITTEN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL AND DIARY OF A WELL KNOWN PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY MAN WHO WILL SOON BE A SERGEANT IN THE CIVIL WAR
PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY NJ. Good. 1858. On offer is an interesting pre Civil War handwritten relic of New Jersey Americana being the original 1858 manuscript journal and diary of Elias D. Smith of Phillipsburg New Jersey who would go on to serve as a Quarter Master Sergeant in the 14th New Jersey Volunteers during the Civil War. In a sporadic manner many days he wrote a full page about what he did and how he felt and about the people places and events of the day. He would also expound on some point of politics or a moment in history and its affect on America or the State. Historians and researchers concerned with the politics of religion American sentiment about their old Colonial masters the British and commerce and trade the social scene the arts and the era in general will find a wealth of opinion and observation by Mr. Smith who begins with a flourish: "Sacred To The Memory of By-gone Days" he writes then dating the commencement at 1858. This is a large 10½ x 8¼ inch page-a-day journal and while Elias is sporadic in entries - he writes almost daily from January 3rd the first page has been excised through March 15th but none until September 22nd and then off and on until the 1st of December - he writes densely filling most pages entirely. Here's a snippet: "Mrs. Harris and Phebe on Tract Society business & I do wonder how she ever made up her mind to come out in such a rain as she did to come here. While she and Mother and Mat were busy with their tracts Phebe Martha Hill Walter and I played Monkey cards and Masqueraders and such like. We also had some singing - tip-top of course - and so we fooled around the evening. I say fooled because it certainly seemed a waste of time and yet I could think of nothing else to entertain the company." The cover is coming loose but the interior is otherwise VG. ; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; WARREN COUNTY P'BURG PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY POLITICS OF RELIGION GENEALOGY PRE CIVIL WAR 14TH NEW JERSEY VOLUNTEERS ABOLITIONIST ANTI SLAVERY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA Archive Lot antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . unknown

Elijah Barwell Impey
Memoirs of Sir Elijah Impey, Knt
About The Book : The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed, than upon their own intrinsic merits or defects. This is an axiom, approaching indeed to a truism, applicable to all times and countries, but more especially to our own; where, for so many generations, government has avowedly been carried on upon the principle of balancing party against party; and where, until quite recently, no public man seems to have thought that we could be governed in any other manner. It was the lot of my father to enter the service of his country, at a period when party heat and violence had attained to their greatest height; and it was his misfortune to excite the personal enmity of a man, who became, in a manner, the oracle and prompter of a faction, the most intemperate, and, at the same time, the most able, persevering, and influential, that ever sate upon the Opposition benches: I allude to Sir Philip Francis. This is not the place to descant upon the character of that gentlemen; it will be fully developed hereafter. But I think it highly important, thus early in this work, to premise, in a summary way, what manner of man he was, who originated these proceedings. About The Author : Elijah Barwell Impey (1780-1849); Parents: Elijah Impey, Educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, he served briefly in the dragoons and published poetry. In the course of my work, The author have repeatedly announced my intention of depositing the Family MSS. and other papers (upon which this volume is mainly founded), in the Library of the British Museum. The author have now only to announce that those hooks and papers have been so deposited, and that they are now accessible to every man of letters, that may wish to study an important chapter in Indian history, or to test the correctness of my numerous quotations and references. The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed.
