Alfred A. Knopf / The Plimpton Press 1925. Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Limited edition #158 of 750 copies. All volumes include slipcases. All books are near fine slipcases are good to very good. A piece of the Volume X slipcase spine has come loose but is included and a couple other slipcases have minor splits along seams. For reasons that are unclear the first two slipcases though numbered the same as the rest are of a different design it is possible the labels were removed from the original slipcases and replacements were made but there is no evidence of this that we can see. With a small bit of restoration this could be a beautiful set. 1925 Hard Cover. Twelve hardcover volumes in publisher's slipcases with limitation numbers handwritten on spine of each slipcase. Black cloth spines over cream cloth boards gilt titles and decorations. Set printed and bound by The Plimpton Press of Norwood Mass. on all rag water marked paper made by the Worthy Paper Co. Association. Best known for his American Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage 1895 Stephen Crane was a major figure in the fields of Realism Naturalism and Impressionism most notably his first novel Maggie: A Girl of the Streets which many consider the first American Naturalist novel. This set includes introductions by various authors written expressly for this edition some quite prominent e.g. Willa Cather; H.L. Mencken Sherwood Anderson. Alfred A. Knopf / The Plimpton Press hardcover books

The Tentacles
New York: Harper & Brothers. Good in Good dj. c.1950. 1st Edition M-Y. Hardcover. NOISBN . ex-rental library book Guild Libraries Hollywood with attendant markings rubber-stamped terms on ffep a bunch of check-out dates on rear fep shelfworn with a bit of fraying at spine ends; the jacket is still attractive despite a few deprecations including tape-staining from internal repairs to rear panel an orange label remnant covering the bottom 2 inches of the spine a small chunk torn out of the bottom corner of the rear flap and a surface-scrape to the front panel that's somewhat obscured by the jacket design. Suspense novel set mostly in Monterey California about a newly-married woman coping with the in-laws from hell. Even before her baby was born "Hilda had already realized there was something wrong in the senior Trentons' household. And she slowly grew to understand what it was first in amazement then in anger finally in terror as the Trenton family closed in on her on her marriage on her child!" Yikes. The author's previous novel "The Frightened Child" was filmed by 20th Century-Fox as THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL 1951; this one I guess was deemed a little too creepy for screen treatment. The "M-Y" printing code by the way translates to December 1949. . Harper & Brothers hardcover books

LYON. RUSSELL Alex A. 1845 ca1930; Missouri soldier in the Civil War a. 19
Describing the Battle of Wilson's Creek and his participation there including an eye-witness account of the death of General Nathaniel Lyon in an autograph letter signed 5 March 1925 from the Kansas National Military Home to Jeannette Trowbridge of Eastford Connecticut
1925. Folio. Eight pages approximately 2750 words; accompanied by another autograph letter from Russell to Trowbridge 14 March 1925; 4to four pages approximately 750 words with more information on the political situation in Missouri on the eve of war and an autograph transcription by Russell of the long poem "The Battle of Wilson's Creek August 10 1861" folio two pages with his own commentary on the poem. Folded. Insect damage to the poem and first leaf of the longer letter resulting in the loss of a number of letters but quite legible throughout. 813. Russell a native of St. Louis enlisted under Lincoln's first call for troops and served in a Missouri regiment through the summer of 1864. Following an outline of sectional struggle from 1820 and early events of the war given in the first half of the longer letter Russell describes the events of the Wilson's Creek Campaign and then his own eyewitness to history: "The Kansas boys like ourselves were resting when all at once the rebels crept up the hill to the top of the crest opened a tremendous fire right into the Iowa boys and our regiment but we went at them anyway and a hand to hand struggle began . My Captain Cary Gratz was killed . I was wounded four times and the Kansas boys were holding their own. Capt. Lyon had been hit twice once a scratch along the forehead and a light superficial wound in the knee. I was carried down the hill and placed on the hill side opposite the line of battle the valley being merely a hollow. I had a good view of the fight as it went on. My first attention was attracted to my right as I lay there and watched Capt. Lyon trying to rally the Iowa boys who were in a panic their Colonel had been killed and although the Kansas boys had saved them Capt. Lyon was rallying them into formation to use as they were then near the front. All at once I saw him rear off that dople sic gray horse and fall to the ground. Maj. Schofield also ran to his side a messenger sent for our surgeon Dr. Comyns . Capt. Lyon was carried down the hill he was shot nearly half way up from the hollow to the battle lines. The bullet had struck him squarely in the breast and had gone through his hear and he had lost the pleasure of seeing the victory his indomitable courage had won."_The Confederates commanded by Gen. Sterling Price made another assault following the death of Lyon but Samuel Sturgis rallied the Union troops and the Federal lines held. Sturgis then left the field toward Springfield and the Confederates did not pursue him. "The campaign marked the beginning of the war in Missouri and the trans-Mississippi. Afterward the Federal army withdrew to rolla Missouri leaving the Southerners in possession of most of the southwestern region of the state" "Encyclopedia of the Confederacy"._Lyon 1818-1861 a Connecticut native graduated from West Point in 1841 served in the Mexican War and on the western frontier most of the time to the eve of Civil War in "Bleeding Kansas" becoming involved in the political issue of slavery in the territories. Appointed brigadier general in May 1861 to command the Union forces in St. Louis he also led discussions with Confederate sympathizers on Missouri's position in the union; when compromise failed he launched his first military campaign which culminated in his death at Wilson's Creek. "The entire north mourned his death and he immediately became a national hero and martyr . his brilliant work had done much to hold Missouri for the Union" DAB. <br/><br/> unknown books
