Tillson, Christiana Holmes; Milo Milton Quaife (ed)
A Woman's Story of Pioneer Illinois
Chicago: R. R. Donnelley & Sons / The Lakeside Press. Near Fine with No dust jacket as issued. 1919. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full dark green cloth with gilt lettering on spine embossed publisher's medallion on front cover in gilt t.e.g. fore-edge and bottom edge deckle. Illustrated with two portraits of the author. So many pioneer stories were written at the request of a child or grandchild. What makes Christiana Tillson's humorous memoir different was her background. Tillson's story records the reactions produced upon a refined New England woman by an environment at once predominantly southern and wholly frontier. Her youth in 1822 and her parting from all that she had known in the East were common of many later Western migrants. But when she and her husband went out to try their fortunes the "West" was what we today call the Midwest. It was still a wild dangerous and uncertain place to try to make a future. .

Sassoon, Siegfried
Memoirs of an Infantry Officer
NY: The Limited Editions Club. Near Fine with No dust jacket as issued. 1981. Limited Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Limited edition this is No. 995 of 2000 copies. Publisher's full beige linen cloth with and embossed black bugle on the front cover black lettering on the spine black endpapers. Illustrated with color drawings by Paul Hogarth and signed by him. Limited to 2000 copies signed by the artist. Introduction by David Daiches. Siegfried Loraine Sassoon CBE MC 1886-1967 was an English poet writer and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who in Sassoon's view were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war in his "Soldier's Declaration" of 1917 culminating in his admission to a military psychiatric hospital; this resulted in his forming a friendship with Wilfred Owen who was greatly influenced by him. Sassoon later won acclaim for his prose work notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography collectively known as the "Sherston trilogy". This volume Memoirs of an Infantry Officer is a novel by Sassoon first published in 1930. It is a fictionalized account of Sassoon's own life during and immediately after World War I. Soon after its release it was heralded as a classic and was even more successful than its predecessor Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man. .

From one corner of the world to the other the success of the Rothschilds has been the subject of universal wonder and envy." - from pages 1-2. Above-average wear. Front hinge open. Library binding.

Jesus of Nazareth - His Life Times and Teaching
New York: The Macmillan Company of Canada Limited. Fair. 1926. Second English Printing. Hardcover. Translated from the original Hebrew first published in Jerusalem in 1922. The first English edition appeared in 1925 so this 1926 copy is presumably a second printing. "Here probably for the first time there is set out a full range of what modern Jewish scholarship has to offer on the subject of the Jewish background of the Gospels." - from Translator's Preface. According to a fascinating 1926 review in the Dearborn Independent this work landed the author in considerable hot water with his coreligionists as it inadvertently lent considerable credence to the Christian view of Jesus Christ. 434 pages. 22cm x 16cm. General Index. Index of Biblical and Rabbinical Passages. Above-average external wear and soiling to maroon cloth-covered boards. Remnant of label removed from front free endpaper. Hinges open.
