Cowboy Poetry / Western Americana. Crawford John "Captain Jack" Wallace 1847 1917
JUST An IMPROMPTU THOUGHT Or TWO. For William & Mrs. I. Schaffer. Midnight July 24th. or 25th. 1916
Napanoch NY 1916. Pale blue laid linen paper with watermark. Printed blue Yama Farms letterhead typed poem. Fold lines few pin holes to upper corner. VG. Broadside. Printing/type to recto only. 10-15/16" x 8-7-16" <br/><br/>Typed poem with "Copy" noted in manuscript beneath the letterhead though nevertheless presumed original to the occasion. The poem is addressed to William and Mrs. I. Schaffer from "Your Broncho Friend of the Camp and the Trail J.W. Crawford 'Capt. Jack.'" Crawford and the Schaffers apparently met and spent time together at Yama Farms. The poem consists of two octaves and begins "To a pair of Happy Lovers / Whom I met at Yama Farms / Who are dead in love with Lovers / Of Old Mother Nature's charms . . . " We presume that the author is "Poet Scout" John Wallace "Captain Jack" Crawford. Crawford was a soldier and ranger in the West during the Civil War a failed miner a showman in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show until 1877 when he accidentally shot himself in the groin and an eventual lecturer and cowboy poet at events around the country; he died in New York in 1917. Yama Farms was a popular Japanese-inspired resort in Ulster County New York from 1903 to 1938. It hosted among others Henry Ford Thomas Edison John Burroughs Harvey Firestone Rabindranath Tagore and many other industrialists financiers influential members of New York society literati etc. unknown books

Cowper, William (1731-1800); Biddle, Chapman.
THE TASK, A POEM. The Sixth Edition.
pp. (8), (1)-221, (2) [Publisher's catalogue]. May lack one page of Publisher's catalogue. Ownership clipped from top edge of title page. Lightly foxed. **Early manuscript ownership of Chapman Biddle on first fly leaf. Chapman Biddle (1822-1880) was a member of the prominent Biddle family of Philadelphia. He served as an officer in the Union Army in the Civil War. He was Colonel of the 121st PA Regiment. The unit served at the Battle of Fredericksburg alongside the PA Reserves, losing 149 casualties in an attack on the Confederate right flank. Biddle participated in the Battle of Chancellorsville in the Third Division of I Corps. Biddle assumed command of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Division before the Battle of Gettysburg began on July 1, 1863. The assignment of Maj. Gen. John F. Reynolds as commander of the army's left wing led to acting promotion of brigade commander Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Rowley to command of the division while Maj. Gen. Abner Doubleday led the corps. Colonel Biddle led the four regiments of the brigade in the first day's fighting on McPherson's Ridge and the subsequent withdrawal to Cemetery Ridge. His report on the first day's fighting describes the brigade's fighting as taking place under heavy artillery fire. When the brigade was flanked by Confederate infantry, Biddle led an unsuccessful counterattack. Later he received a head wound from a spent Minie ball when Col. Abner Perrin's brigade attacked the brigade's fall-back position on Seminary Ridge. Biddle had his head bandaged, and then returned to his troops. Returning to his regiment on July 2, after Rowley resumed brigade command, Biddle participated in the repulse of Pickett's Charge. By the end of the battle, only 84 of 263 soldiers were left in the ranks. Biddle played no role in the court-martial of General Rowley for being drunk on the field at Gettysburg. In fact, he never referred to Rowley's role in the battle in anything he wrote during or after the war. Biddle led the 121st Pennsylvania though most of the summer and autumn of 1863, including most of the Bristoe Campaign and the Mine Run Campaign, before being discharged on December 10, 1863. His head wound, received at Gettysburg, eventually led to Biddle's departure from active service. His old regiment remained in service to the end of the war, being mustered out on June 2, 1865. 12mo. 185 mm. Original full leather binding. Original leather spine label. Front board fragile.

COYAUD Maurice
Anthologie bilingue de la poésie chinoise classique
Paris, Les Belles Lettres, "Architecture du verbe", 1997, 15 x 21,5, 335 pages cousues sous couverture souple imprimée. "Les vers classiques réguliers chinois, choisis depuis le VIIe siècle avant J.-C. jusqu'au XIIe siècle après, pour cette anthologie, ont quatre, cinq, six ou sept pieds. On a ainsi le principe d'organisation de quatre chapitres. Un cinquième chapitre concerne les mètres irréguliers. La principale originalité de ce recueil est, d'abord, qu'il fournit la transcription des textes choisis. Un lecteur, qui voudrait faire un petit effort, serait donc en mesure de " lire " à haute voix l'original, ou du moins, de mieux pouvoir s'y référer, et de consulter un dictionnaire sans trop y perdre de temps. Deuxième originalité : l'auteur du recueil a jugé amusant de confronter la poésie chinoise à la française, et parfois à la poésie latine. Les références qu'il propose sont tout à fait subjectives, faites pour provoquer, émoustiller le lecteur, et l'inviter à trouver de lui-même les points de ressemblance ou de différence avec la poésie qui lui est plus familière. Une dernière annexe a pour but de dérider le lecteur sourcilleux et austère, que certains poètes Tang, assez sévères, auraient renfrogné."
