‎BEECHER Henry Ward 1813 87‎

‎Autograph Note Signed / Unsigned Portrait‎

‎Few 19th century clergymen achieved the level of household-name fame and influence as this renowned Congregationalist minister the most fiery of the fire and brimstone preachers; the brother of writer Harriet Beecher Stowe of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame Beecher too was an outspoken social reformer abolitionist and lecturer whose oratory made him wildly popular; pastor of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn New York from 1847 on his meteoric popularity waned later in life only with a scandalous adultery charge brought against him. ANS 1p 4�" X 6" n.p. n.y. likely ca. 1880. Very good. Inoffensive mounting traces on verso. Arranges a meeting. In part: "I have put down in my book tuesday Decr 2d. for you. I shall leave N.Y. in the 8 o'clock a.m. train & stop at the Girard House. Unless sick I do not expect to miss a second time in one Season." Nicely penned. "Girard House" was a large and famous Philadelphia hotel. Accompanied by an outstanding 1860s vintage steel-engraved portrait heavy stock 5 3/4" X 9" engraved by J.C. Buttre of New York and titled "Eminent Opponents of the Slave Power" in ornate flowing type along the lower margin. Near fine. Fine head-and-shoulders portraits of 12 noted abolitionists each within a small oval border: John Quincy Adams at the top and beneath him the triumvirate of John Greenleaf Whittier Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner; surrounding this quartette are clockwise from top William Lloyd Garrison Joshua R. Giddings Cassius M. Clay Benjamin Lundy Owen Lovejoy Gerrit Smith William Cullen Bryant and Henry Ward Beecher. A great pair. unknown‎

‎BEECHER John‎

‎A Humble Petition to the President of Harvard‎

‎Phoenix AZ: Rampart Press 1963. Broadside. Folio 12�" X 16". Titled in red. Limited to 250 copies printed on German mouldmade paper. Fine. First separate printing -- and although this broadside was never issued signed Beecher's wife and printing partner artist Barbara Beecher 1925-2016 handsomely signed a very small number in pencil at lower right and this is one such example. Although Beecher didn't graduate from Harvard he did attend Harvard Graduate School for language and literature in 1926 -- hence his opening declaration here "I am sir so to speak 'a Harvard man.'" Possibly occasioned by a much later visit by Beecher to his almost-alma he refers to "Nostalgic reminiscences brought on / by your most recent bulletin" this delightful piece begins as a tribute to the legendary Harvard literature professor G.L. Kittredge 1860-1941 Shakespeare and Chaucer authority prim and proper "in forked snowy beard and pearl-grey spats" whose teachings were equally fastidious: "Prince Hamlet / made no unseemly quips anent the thighs / Ophelia spread for him." -- thus "Nice young men were we / in Kitty's class." Personal recollections follow before a Lionel Trilling essay "Commitment to the Modern" found in the "recent bulletin" shows the poet that "you do not change / at Harvard like castrati whose voices / retain their boyish purity." Harvard's status quo conservative establishment he suddenly realizes rub this radical poet the wrong way: "Fend from me I beg you sir / offers of chairs magnates endow. Waylay / me with no teaching sinecure. Summon me never to recite my verse / before a convocation in my honor / nor to appear in doctoral costume / as orator at Commencement." A wonderfully dark provocative humorous poem. One of the great American protest and radical poets Beecher left his steel mill background to teach English and sociology at various universities; he worked various positions under the New Deal; his first published poem "And I Will Be Heard" 1940 placed him on the literary map and the book-length narrative poem "Here I Stand" came the following year; during World War Two he sailed aboard the first racially integrated ship the S.S. Booker T. Washington and wrote about those experiences in "All Brave Sailors"; blacklisted from teaching by refusing to sign a state loyalty oath in California in 1950 he became a rancher and farmer in Sonoma County; there he continued writing founding the award-winning Morning Star Press in 1956 to publish his poetry and other socially-oriented pieces becoming a gifted and accomplished practitioner in the process; this press then operated from San Francisco Berkeley and Jerome Arizona; renamed it relocated to Scottsdale Arizona and other locales; "Report to the Stockholders & Other Poems" appeared in 1962 to critical acclaim and "To Live and Die in Dixie" in 1966; these later years were filled with guest teaching positions from Massachusetts to California and Beecher was in great demand as a lecturer and poetry reader nationwide; descended from famed Abolitionists Henry Ward Beecher Harriet Beecher Stowe and Lyman Beecher much of John Beecher's poetry concerns itself with race relations labor reform and other social injustices.

‎Bestride the Narrow World‎

‎Phoenix AZ: Rampart Press 1963. Broadside. 4to 9" X 12�". Titled in red. Edition limited to 200 copies. Fine. First separate printing. Presumably inspired by the Ap Bac hamlet encounter in Vietnam in which the Vietcong for the first time took on the American military and the South Vietnamese Army Beecher ruminates upon war. A fine critique in true Beecher form reading in part: "Proud / as pterodactyls in their prime are we / mighty as mammoths." His title comes from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" : "He doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus and we petty men walk under his luge legs and peep about." One of the great American protest and radical poets Beecher left his steel mill background to teach English and sociology at various universities; he worked various positions under the New Deal; his first published poem "And I Will Be Heard" 1940 placed him on the literary map and the book-length narrative poem "Here I Stand" came the following year; during World War Two he sailed aboard the first racially integrated ship the S.S.
