‎ABERNATHY JOHN R; ROOSEVELT KERMIT INTRODUCTION; COLEMAN JON T. FOREWORD‎

‎Catch 'em Alive Jack ": The Life And Adventures Of An American Pioneer‎

‎University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2006. Softcover. Brand new book. Best known for catching wolves alive with his bare hands John R. Abernathy 1876-1941 was born to Scottish ancestors in Texas. Raised in the burgeoning railroad town of Sweetwater Abernathy considered himself a true son of the Wild West. In his amazing life he worked as a U.S. marshal sheriff Secret Service agent and wildcat oil driller. But it was the accidental discovery of a bold means of catching wolves alive that made Abernathy famous and drew the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt. By forcing his hand deep enough into a wolf's mouth he could stun the creature long enough to capture it a service for which he was paid fifty dollars by eager ranchers. This Bison Books edition brings Abernathy's vivid account of his life into print for the first time since its original publication in 1936. Kermit Roosevelt 1889-1943 hunted big game with his father President Theodore Roosevelt and served in World War I and World War II. Jon T. Coleman is an assistant professor of history at Notre Dame and the author of Vicious: Wolves and Men in America. "An excellent Foreword by Jon Coleman summarizes Abernathy's life and places it in the context of his time." �Stanley D. Casto East Texas Historical Journal "Abernathy is very good at creating and telling stories about his exploits and at times you get the feeling that he might be exaggerating a bit as when he talks about crawling into a cave after a bear. However his style keeps the stories short and makes the book a quick light read. . . . Abernathy embodies the myth of heroic American male conquering the West."�Doug Werden Southwestern American Literature University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2006 paperback‎

‎ABERNETHY GRAEME‎

‎The Iconography Of Malcolm X‎

‎University Press of Kansas Lawrence: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. From Detroit Red to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz the man best known as Malcolm X restlessly redefined himself throughout a controversial life. His transforations have appeared repeatedly in books photographs paintings and films while his murder set in motion a series of tugs-of-war among journalists biographers artists and his ideological champions over the interpretation of his cultural meaning. This book marks the first systematic examination of the images generated by this iconic figure - images readily found on everything from T-shirts to hip-hop album covers to coffee mugs. Graeme Abernethy captures both the multiplicity and global import of a person who has been framed as both villain and hero cast by the mainstream media during his lifetime as "the most feared man in American history" and elevated at his death as a heroic emblem of African American identity. As Abernethy shows the resulting iconography of Malcolm X has shifted as profoundly as the American racial landscape itself. Abernethy explores Malcolm's visual presence in the eras of civil rights Black Power and hip-hop. He analyzes this enigmatic figure's representation across a variety of media from the 1960s magazines to urban murals tracking the evolution of Malcolm's iconography from his autobiography and his radical milieu through the appearance of Spike Lee's 1962 biopic and beyond. Its remarkable gallery of illustrations includes reproductions of iconic photographs by Richard Avedon Eve Arnold Gordon Parks Henri Cartier-Bresson and John Launois. Abernethy reveals that Malcolm X himself was keenly aware of the power of imagery to redefine identity and worked tirelessly to shape how he was represented to the public. His theoretical grasp of what he termed "the science of imagery" enabled him both to analyze the role of representation in ideological control as well as to exploit his own image in the interests of black empowerment. This provocative work marks a startling shift from the biographical focus that has dominated Malcolm X studies providing an up-to-date - and comprehensively illustrated - account of Malcolm's cultural afterlife and addressing his iconography in relation to images of other major African American figures including Martin Luther King Jr. Angela Davis Kanye West and Barak Obama. Analyzing the competing interpretations behind so many images Abernethy reveals what our lasting obsession with Malcom X says about American culture over the last five decades. Graeme is a writer researcher and educator based in Vancouver British Columbia. University Press of Kansas, Lawrence: 2013 hardcover‎

‎1862 - 1871 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY OF A NEAR EPIC JOURNEY TO FIND WORK FROM MAINE TO MINNESOTA BY STEAMSHIP STAGECOACH TRAIN AND HIS OWN TWO FEET‎

‎COLUMBIA FALLS MAINE ME ST. PAUL ST. ANTHONY FALLS. Fair. 1862. On offer is a super original 1862 - 1871 manuscript diary handwritten by Abijah W. Talbut sometimes Talbot of Columbia Falls Maine who was a minor inventor and likely cranberry farmer as we note from one online reference: "� it was the rake developed by Abijah Talbot of Columbia Falls Maine that became the standard for the industry. This rake was similar to those used for harvesting cranberries but had metal teeth and a flat bottom like a dustpan. With only minor modifications it is still in use by many growers." The diary has 110 pages of which most are financial and expense entries with some miscellaneous notes however historians researchers and collectors of early East to West intra America travel will find a significant 34 page narrative section of a near epic 1867 trip from Columbia Falls Maine all the way to St. Paul Minnesota and somewhat beyond involving stage coaches steamships and trains. He makes note that this is his first trip on a train. His also details his time on a Mississippi River steamboat the Addie Johnson which had been built just three years prior. He takes a packet up the Mississippi all the way to St. Paul and then walked to St. Anthony's Falls. He then takes a stage to Princeton Minnesota where the joins a crew who is working on building a dam outside of town. They are camping in tents and this camp is called the Barrows Camp. He's only in camp a few months very brief entries of life in camp and then decides to head back home. There are a several more sporadic diary entries of life in Maine dotted through the expense pages and while Abijah writes in a na�ve format his diary makes for a fascinating read. Here are some snippets: 1867 "New Wharf. Left Mill Milbridge Maine Oct. 14th 9 A.M. Clear with smart breeze. Touched at lower wharf. 11 A.M. sick. 11:30 touched at L.
