[Dakota Territory - Promotional Literature - Mitchell]
The City of Mitchell and the Country Tributary Thereto
Mitchell 1887. 8vo wraps 82 pp. Tears to wraps partially disbound contents very good good overall. Good. An unrecorded promotional book written about the city of Mitchell four years after its founding and near the end of the Dakota Boom. The introduction states “No apology is needed for the publication at this point of a pamphlet setting forth the advantages of this city and the country tributary thereto… The east is overcrowded with people… the west presents the opposite condition. Business opportunities are plenty. A little money goes a great ways…†The book is illustrated with woodcut illustrations of the scenes and businesses of Mitchell and a map on the rear wrap shows the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway for which Mitchell provides a junction of two of the branches. We find no record of this book which overall provides insight into the city’s early history and more broadly is an excellent example of promotional literature of the Dakotas in the period just before statehood. unknown

[Isadora Duncan]; Margaretta K Mitchell (Photographs, Introduction); Mitchell, Peter (Poem, "The Dancer")
Dance For Life; Isadora Duncan and Her California Dance Legacy At the Temple of Wings
Berkeley: Elysian Editions Wesley B. Tanner 1985. First and Limited Edition. Folio in a case. Fine. Mitchell Margaretta K. The printer's proof from an edition of fifty copies seven text pages and twelve photogravures all housed in a clamshell case. This an homage to Angela Isadora Duncan 1877-1927 and the incredible effect she had on modern dance which she initiated at the turn of the last century. <br /> <br /> She "emphasized the dynamics and rhythm of movement invoked the Greeks and refused to perform anywhere but in the sanctified halls of the opera house and concert stage. Duncan avoided all links with dance as it had been known in the nineteenth century - a 'leg business' that was titillating and low class. She remains a key figure in the history of American modern dance primarily because she established dance as a legitimate artistic practice" n.b. info and quote from the online Dictionary of American Biograpy. <br /> <br /> A native of San Francisco she spent much of her adult life in Europe and Russia. However her influence was deeply felt in the San Francisco Bay Area; an admirer and childhood friend of hers Florence Treadwell Boynton and her husband built a home in Berkeley designed by Bernard Maybeck which was named the "Temple of Wings". It was there that Florence created a dance school that adhered to her own beliefs regarding raising children with these beliefs integrated with the dance style of Duncan. Annual summer dance events were held at the Temple of Wings from 1914 through 1985 and it is this style of dance which is celebrated in this photographic portfolio. <br /> <br /> With photographs by Margaretta K. Mitchell b. 1935 whose "photographs belong to the Pictorialist tradition addressing formal concerns of line and shadow primarily in black and white" n.b. from Wiki. Her style shows in the twelve gravure plates in this work which bring to life the interpretation by Duncan and Boynton of the ancient Greek-style of dance. <br /> <br /> Issued in an edition of fifty copies plus nine copies reserved for the participants in the project this the printer's proof copy which we acquired directly from him. Somewhat uncommon in the marketplace as of this writing we see only a single other offering online; our search of OCLC locates four institutional holdings. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: The work consists of nineteen sheets in a portfolio box the title page in blue and black four pages of Introduction this followed by the poem "The Dancer" this by the twelve photgravures with the colophon at the end the first page of the Introduction has a small photoengraved illustration printed in black there are nine continous-tone offset illustrations printed in black throughout the Introduction the twelve photogravures are all titled numbered this copy noted as "Printer's Proof" and dated by Margarette Mitchell each photogravure interleaved with archival paper for protection; types Castellar Van Dijck and Garamond on Arches paper the pages measure 19" by 15"; the box is covered in blue cloth with a white paper label mounted onto the front with blue lettering and measures 20 3/4" by 16 1/8". <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: The text pages and photogravues all fine clean and without wear; the box near fine strong and sturdy but with a few spots of soil and a few areas of light wear including a small tear to the cloth at the bottom of the front of the box. <br /> <br /> ___CITATION: The Book Club of California Quarterly Newsletter Vol. LV Number 4 Autumn 1990 "A Bibliographical Checklist of Wesley B.

I tell them I have no objections to throwing out the votes in the Hancock Plantation & thereby elect or in any way assist Mr. Milliken but to throw them all out & by so doing disfranchise some thousand & declare Mr. Morrill elected by the people. I tell them such a course will be suicidal to the great American party which Mr. Reed & myself are one."<br /> <br /> He goes on to report who is opposed to these moves and who might be witnesses: "When I see you I will inform you who are the men who are so conscientious about this matter. I am perfectly quiet & cool but I have been at work. most of the time for the last 24 hours. They the Committee propose to spend the night in the committee room so as to have it said that we are doing up business in shape but they are more anxious to declare Mr. Morill Gov by the dear people. I have heard nothing from you but I think my course is patriotic or an honest one & I shall pursue it unless you suggest otherwise. Don't show my letters to anyone. I shall be glad when this session shall close."<br /> <br /> Anson Morrill 1803-1887 was elected Maine's Governor in 1855 and served until 1856. He had been a candidate under the Know Nothing and then Republican parties.<br /> <br /> John F. Milliken however was not among the list of Representatives in 1855 but seems to have gotten himself appointed Postmaster in his hometown.<br /> <br /> Isaac Reed 1809-1887 was a merchant and shipbuilder. He served in the Maine Senate 1839-1840; 1850 1863; the Maine House of Representatives 1842-1843; 1846; 1870-1871; as State Treasurer 1856; and in the U.S. House of Representatives 1852-1853.<br /> <br /> Maubec Mitchell Rawson b. 1825 was from Waldoboro Maine. unknown

Case of George Dedlow in The Atlantic Monthly July 1866
1866. MITCHELL S. Weir. The Case of George Dedlow in The Atlantic Monthly July 1866. Original printed wrappers. Boston: Ticknor and Fields 1866. First edition. S. Weir Mitchell's literary work for adults. Printed anonymously in the Atlantic Monthly this is the fictional account of a Civil War assistant surgeon who had lost all of his limbs in battle. The realistic descriptions of the narrator's injuries and amputations led many readers to believe the story to be true. The story was later collected in The Autobiography of a Quack and the Case of George Dedlow New York: The Century Co. 1900. In the introduction Mitchell says the story wasn't written for publication. He had lent the manuscript to a friend who sent it to another friend who then sent it to the Atlantic Monthly. Mitchell was a physician who specialized in disorders of the nervous system and is considered the father of modern neurology. During the Civil War he was placed in charge of Turner's Lane Military Hospital in Philadelphia which became a specialty hospital for soldiers with neurological diseases. This allowed Mitchell to study and treat soldiers with a condition he called "sensory hallucinations" of stumps commonly known as "phantom limb syndrome." Although first described as early as the 16th century by French surgeon Ambroise Pare Mitchell was the first to study and describe the phenomena in detail describing it in his 1872 textbook Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences. The term "phantom limb syndrome" became popular from an earlier article Mitchell wrote "Phantom Limbs" in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine Dec. 1871 in which he described the condition at length for a more general audience. Small closed tear to front wrapper early owner's name "BC. Vaughan" in pencil at head of front wrapper else very good. unknown

Follow the North Star. Sub-titled: The story of an American Negro leader who believes in self responsibility as a means to end juvenile delinquency
<p>New Orleans: Conservative Society of America 1968. Single sheet printed in red black and blue folded to make a multi-paneled brochure described here as a “pamphlet.†Condition is very good. hajhlcb374330</p> <p>A striking survival of conservative counter–civil rights literature centered on Reverend Henry Mitchell a Chicago pastor promoted as a patriotic Black leader by right-wing activist Kent Courtney and the Conservative Society of America.</p> <p>The pamphlet portrays Mitchell as an alternative to Martin Luther King Jr. and Stokely Carmichael emphasizing self-responsibility anti-communism and opposition to civil disobedience busing and welfare dependency. In Courtney’s framing Mitchell offered “constructive alternativesâ€â€”education employment and juvenile reform—while rejecting protest and direct action.</p> <p>Mitchell openly challenged Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967 over strategy and tactics and denounced Carmichael as “seditious.†His North Star United Missionary Workers of America consisting of some 65 ministers and tens of thousands of members is depicted here as an organization devoted to training employment and self-reliance for African Americans.</p> <p>Follow the North Star exemplifies a deliberate effort to elevate certain Black leaders who rejected mainstream civil rights approaches while simultaneously attacking the press liberal clergy and federal programs as communist-inspired. The closing text urges readers to buy copies in bulk and distribute them to politicians editors and pastors reinforcing its role as a propaganda piece.</p> <p>Scarce. Copies of CSA “pamphlets†as this is described were cheaply produced for mass circulation and seldom survive. This example illustrates the intersection of race conservatism and Cold War anticommunist politics at a pivotal moment in 1968 when King’s assassination urban uprisings and Black Power radicalism reshaped the political landscape.</p> unknown
