Downie, Jill
Storming the Castle: The World of Dora and the Duchess
"...tells the colourful, upstairs/downstairs saga of two remarkable, unsung women of the Edwardian era, whose lives would intersect in Canada at that era's precipitous end. While the ninth Duchess of Devonshire and her cook were born to as different destinies as can be imagined, those destinies were forged in a singular historical moment. These were the last, golden days of Empire, remembered as much for their splendour and pageantry as for utter obliteration in the First World War. In this, la belle epoque, Ritz and Escoffier would reinvent magnificently the trappings of leisure, while women would attempt to reinvent the sexual hierarchy. This was the social and political backdrop in which Evelyn Lansdowne and Dorothea Mary Lee would find themselves..."345p. plates. bibliography.index Book

Doyle O Crain
1952 Diary of an American Seaman Posted to the USS Marsh During the Korean War
Korea: Korean War USS Marsh. Good. 1952. Hardcover. On offer is a fascinating first-hand account of a young American sailor in the Korean War. This slim notebook measures 6 inches by 3.5 inches and contains 136 pages. It is 10% complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition. The handwriting is quite legible. The author of this notebook is Doyle O. Crain. Born in Tulsa OK Crain was 18 when he entered the United States Navy. Crain passed away in 2009 at the age of 75. Casual research had not turned up any additional biographical information. Crain's notebook begins on June 13th 1952 and ends on August 6 1952. He was posted to USS Marsh DE 699 a Destroyer Escort in February 1951. Marsh had been in Korean waters when Crain begins his entries. When Crain's journal begins Marsh has been ordered to return to Okinawa for hunter-killer exercises returning to Korea on 21 June. Taking up aircraft carrier screen duties she operated with Bataan CVL-29 and HMS Ocean in the Yellow Sea. In July she again headed south this time to serve with the Formosa Patrol then on 22 August returned to the battle line. She patrolled off the west Korean coast initially but was moved to the east coast in late September to blockade. She participated periodically in the shelling of troop and transportation centers in the Songin and Wonsan areas. On 22 October she sailed again to the Korean coast where she conducted patrols until steaming for Yokosuka and the United States on 14 November. In October Marsh was involved in an action shelling shore batteries. In the engagement she called for assistance and the Royal Canadian Navy destroyer HMCS Iroquois came to her assistance. In rendering that assistance Iroquois was hit. USS Marsh did not offer assistance and instead steamed away. According to some reports RCN ships in Korea from that moment on rarely made requests for support; and those requests whenever possible excluded the ships of the USN. Thunder in the Morning Calm Brown 2011. Crain was rated as a Seaman SN. Some examples of his entries include: "Nice weather today. Plane guard detail for carrier "Sicily" 118 CVE. 6 more days to Okinawa" June 14; "Got contact this morning with another sub at 0600. Not too good of weather this morning. Pay day today!" June 15; "Nice cool day. We are with the British carrier Ocean. The same ones we were with in Korea. We are supposed to be in Sasebo the 10 th of July" June 22; "The sea is very rough and it is raining hard - the wind is also blowing hard. We are going to refuel and then go on to the Worthington patrol tonight. It won't be no picnic" June 28; "The sea is very rough today and the wind is blowing very hard. We are with three other DE's - the Walton 361 McCoy Reynolds 440 and the Currier 700
" July 20; "Nice Day. Refuels from the tanker this morning. Met the Walton 440 this afternoon and their Capt. Came over and had a talk with Capt. Venne of the Marsh" July 30. This short notebook offers a fine view of the daily life of a US navy sailor during the Korean War. For a naval historian if offers additional cross referencing for the location and roles of other warships serving in that theatre of combat. ; Manuscripts; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 14 pages .

DR and MRS HG KRIBS H G
1920s ORIGINAL SCRAPBOOK OF EDUCATIONAL AND CHRISTIAN OUTREACH BY THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN MISSION AS A PENNSYLVANIA DOCTOR OF BIOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY SPENDS 7 YEARS IN INDIA TEACHING
ALLAHABAD INDIA BOMBAY JAMUNA RIVER SANGAM. Good. 1920. On offer is a sensational original scrapbook compiled and owned by Dr. H.G. and Mrs. Kribs of Pennsylvania. The book details their journey to India and their social life and meetings with the upper strata of East Indian society and many many government leaders with the background of their educational missionary work. That said much of the content shows that they were attempting to bridge the cultural gap between societies as many of the invites reveal 'mixed race' parties and functions. The diary is packed - to the point of the covers bursting and off though present - with invitations letters to and from photos newspaper clippings and much much more dated through the 1920's. There are a few photos at the very back in later years. The Kribs were based in Allahabad and were very highly connected as evidenced by the invitations. Invites include: Rai Bahadur Jagmal. Raja The Vice-Chancellor of Allahabad University Members of the Indian Science Congress The Chancellor and Members of University of Bombay His Excellency The Governor and Lady Hailey The Senate House 8th December 1926 The Staff and Students of Oxford & Cambridge Hostel 1924 etc. Online references flesh out the details of the Kribs' trip and experience in India: 1 Narberth Presbyterian SPEAKER: Dr. H. G. Kribs University of Pennsylvania. SUBJECT: Some World Problems of Religion." This service will be under the auspices of the H. C. Gara Men's Bible Class. Dr. Kribs is a man of wide experience and will bring a worthwhile message. EVERY MAN is cordially invited to be present. 2 Dr. H. G. Kribs of the Department of Zoology of the University of Pennsylvania will speak on "Some Problems of Religion. He has had world experience as a teacher traveler and social worker only recently returned to this country after seven years residence at Allahabad India where he taught Biology in the Christian College. 3 Ewing Christian College ECC was established in 1902 as Allahabad Christian College by the American Presbyterian Mission ECC is one of the oldest colleges established in India. However this claim is doubtful because the British East India Company was long gone at the time of the college's founding as the British had taken over the control of India after the first war of Independence in 1857. At the beginning the college was named Vernacular school. Later its governance was shifted to the Presbyterian Church. In 1910 it was called Allahabad Christian College. The campus is located on the northern bank of Jamuna River near Sangam on the southern part of Allahabad City. Spread on a sprawling green campus of 42 acres 170000 m2 the college opened its Agriculture Economics Extension Department on the other side of the river which soon developed into Allahabad Agriculture Institute now a deemed university. The college took giant strides in the field of higher education with Dr. Dudgeon opening a first laboratory course in botany laying a very strong base for research in the college. In 1903 many undergraduate offerings were initiated. However in 1922 on the account of a new university act the school lost its college status. In 1935 it started offering classes in a coeducational setup. In 1950 after the permission of Allahabad University classes for degree students began and once again it acquired college status. More recently in 1995 it achieved its autonomous status as institution in India which could offer its own examinations under the affiliation with Allahabad University.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: JAMUNA RIVER SANGAM ALLAHABAD UNIVERSITY ALLAHABAD CHRISTIAN COLLEGE EWING CHRISTIAN COLLEGE SOCIAL STUDIES RACE RELATIONS CASTE SYSTEM DR.

Dr Bhoopendra Kumar Singh & Sapna Pathania
An Intellectual in Khaki
ABOUT THE BOOK:- We are fortunate to have a growing generation which has a vision, is ambitions, hard working and have taken their role in right earnest to make India really shining. It shall be a great injustice to them if we fail to project their ambitions, perseverance and single mindedness to achieve their goals against in surmountable obstacles. By presenting the mini-biography of an young police officer, although confining themselves only to the ambitions, inclinations and temperament of the officer, the authors have made genuine efforts to inspire and motivate the young generation to accomplish their goals. The authors are planning to bring out a Hindi Edition as well for the benefit of the vast readership in the Hindi belt.
