WHITMAN Walt 1819 1892
Calamus. A series of letters written during the years 1868-1880 by Walt Whitman to a young friend Peter Doyle
Boston: Laurens Maynard 1897. First Edition. Cloth. Fine-. First American Issue of the only edition with spine imprint Maynard and title page "Published by Laurens Maynard" later Small Maynard. Edited with an introduction by Richard Maurice Bucke M.D. one of Whitman's literary executors. Small 8vo: viii173pp with two inserted leaves of Japan paper one frontispiece with drawing by H. D. Young of Whitman and Peter Doyle on verso before title page the other a photograph of a letter on recto after p. 112. Publisher's lime T-like cloth bold ribbed cover blind stamped with single rule frame spine lettered in gilt. Pages marginally toned frontispiece and facsimile letter browned else an excellent example. BAL 21446. Meyerson A14.I.b1. In the third edition of Leaves of Grass published in 1860 Whitman's "Calamus" poems a cluster devoted to male-male affection make their first appearance the edition on offer here is the first 37 years later in which the poems stand alone. The Calamus poems offer a vision of men loving men to counter the Civil War horror of fratricide that threatened the nation at a pivotal moment in its history. Their genesis is found in an unpublished manuscript sequence of twelve poems entitled "Live Oak With Moss" written in or before the spring of 1859. The poems seem to recount the story of a relationship between the speaker and a male lover. In the third edition of Leaves Whitman included the twelve "Live Oak" poems along with others to form a sequence of 45 untitled poems that celebrate many aspects of "comradeship" or "adhesive love" Whitman's term borrowed from phrenology to describe male same-sex attraction in its political spiritual metaphysical and personal phases-in Whitman's view the backbone of future nations the root of religious sentiments the solution to the big questions of life and a source of personal anguish and joy. N. B. With few exceptions always identified we only stock books in exceptional condition with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed. Laurens Maynard unknown

Wickenden Dorothy.
NOTHING DAUNTED: THE UNEXPECTED EDUCATION OF TWO SOCIETY GIRLS IN THE WEST.
New York: Scribner 2011. 286 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "In the summer of 1916 Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood close friends from childhood and graduates of Smith College left home in Auburn New York for the wilds of northwestern Colorado. Bored by their society luncheons charity work and the effete young men who courted them they learned that two teaching jobs were available in a remote mountaintop schoolhouse and applied - shocking their families and friends. They took the new railroad over the Continental Divide and made their way by spring wagon to the tiny settlement of Elkhead where they lived with a family of homesteaders. They rode several miles to school each day on horseback sometimes in blinding blizzards. Their students walked or skied on barrel staves in tattered clothes and shoes tied together with string. The man who had lured them out west was Ferry Carpenter a witty idealistic and occasionally outrageous young lawyer and cattle rancher. He had promised them the adventure of a lifetime and the most modern schoolhouse in Routt County; he hadn't let on that the teachers would be considered dazzling prospective brides for the locals. In their buoyant letters home the two women captured the voices and stories of the pioneer women the children and the other memorable people they got to know. Nearly a hundred years later the granddaughter of Dorothy Woodruff found the letters and began to reconstruct the women's journey. Enhancing the story with interviews with descendants research about these vanished communities and trips to the region she creates an exhilarating saga about two intrepid young women and the 'settling up' of the West." Browning to bottom of text block - mainly near spine. Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling and minor rubbing. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Scribner Hardcover

Willrich Michael.
POX: AN AMERICAN HISTORY.
New York: Penguin Press 2011. 422 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs. "At the turn of the last century a powerful smallpox epidemic swept the United States from coast to coast. The age-old disease spread swiftly through an increasingly interconnected American landscape: from southern tobacco plantations to the dense immigrant neighborhoods of northern cities to far-flung villages on the edges of the nascent American empire. This book offers a gripping chronicle of how the nation's continent-wide fight against smallpox launched one of the most important civil liberties struggles of the twentieth-century. At the dawn of the activist progressive era and during a moment of great optimism about modern medicine the government responded to the deadly epidemic by calling for universal compulsory vaccination. To enforce the law public health authorities relied on quarantines pesthouses and 'virus squads' - corps of doctors and club-wielding police. Though these measures eventually contained the disease they also sparked a wave of popular resistance among Americans who perceived them as a threat to their health and to their rights. At the time antivaccinationists were often dismissed as misguided cranks but Willrich argues that they belonged to a wider legacy of American dissent that attended the rise of an increasingly powerful movement. While a well-organized antivaccination movement sprang up during these years many American resisted in subtler ways - by concealing sick family members or forging immunization certificates. 'Pox' introduces us to memorable characters on both sides of the debate from Henning Jacobson a Swedish Lutheran minister whose battle against vaccination went all the way to the Supreme Court to C.P. Wertenbaker a federal surgeon who saw himself as a medical missionary combating a deadly - and preventable - disease. As Willrich suggests many of the questions first raised by the turn-of-the-century antivaccination movement are still with us: How far should the government go to protect us from peril What happens when the interest of public health collide with religious beliefs and personal conscience" Light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has some light edge creasing - mainly at top/bottom of spine. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Penguin Press Hardcover
