‎Paris, Alcan, 1904. in 8°,toile moderne, couverture usée conservée. XVI-396 pp.-(2)ff.‎

‎ÉDITION ORIGINALE. Kate Brousseau (1862-1938) fit de brillantes études universitaires d’abord aux Etats-Unis son pays natal puis en Allemagne et en France où elle soutint sa thèse à la Sorbonne en 1904. 40 ans après la fin de la guerre de Sécession et l’adoption du XIIIe amendement de la Constitution des Etats-Unis qui abolissait définitivement l’esclavage, se posait «un problème d’une nature particulièrement complexe, et sans parallèle dans l’histoire moderne…Au milieu d’une nation civilisée, il y a neuf millions d’individus d’une race arriérée, d’une couleur méprisée, et ayant le fardeau d’un esclavage séculaire sur les épaules. Comment diriger cette race de manière à développer à leur plus haut point toutes ses facultés et à l’adapter en même temps au milieu blanc, afin qu’elle devienne un facteur utile pour la société, au lieu d’être une lèpre dans son sein?» Certes on ne s’exprimerait plus ainsi aujourd’hui et on ne poserait pas non plus le problème de la même manière, mais nous sommes en 1904 et la thèse de Brousseau fut considérée comme particulièrement brillante.‎

In later years he created ionic and semi-comical works with subjects including the multiple dangers of crossing the street children and grandparents fishermen policemen boy scouts and hunters.

‎Grierson's Raid‎

‎Urbana IL: University of Illinois Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1954. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Very Good condition and has a Very Good dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean bright condition. There is some beginning rubbing to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous owner's gift notation on the half title page. It appears this was a gift for a professor at the University of Illinois from his students who signed their names on the free page after the last page of text. The dust jacket has edge wear rubbing several small tears and nicks. "Hamilton the commander of the Corinth section of Grant's division suggested what would eventually become Grierson's Raid. Subsequently due to Hamilton's insistence on procuring a command that would garner him more glory Hamilton offered his resignation. Grant quickly accepted. In the Western Theater of the American Civil War Confederate cavalry raids under commanders such as Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan had harassed Union expeditions namely at the Battle of Parker's Crossroads where Forrest captured three hundred Union soldiers under Brig. Gen. Jeremiah C. Sullivan but lost all of the artillery pieces belonging to his own command. The task of drawing the attention of Confederate raiders away from the Siege of Vicksburg fell to Col. Benjamin Grierson a former music teacher who disliked horses after being kicked in the head by one as a child. Grierson's cavalry brigade consisted of the 6th and 7th Illinois and 2nd Iowa Cavalry regiments. " from Wikipedia . University of Illinois Press hardcover‎
