[Black Hawk] [Military & War]

n.p.: n.p. n.d. Wraps. Good. Stapled wraps. Wraps. 87 pages 1 page blank. Plain dark gray paper covers. Paper spine perished. Front cover detached. Rear cover appears to have been glued to the text block. <br /> <br /> Dated 1832 on the title page this is a much later undated reprint. No printer information or author information provided. Very little information found regarding this obscure tract. "Libraything.nl" has a listing for the work and dates of 1914 1926 1945. This website states the copy was sourced from 'Evanston Illinois Masonic'. The text is full of questions and answers and mentions of the Grand Council. It does not appear to be a narrative history of the Black Hawk War. Although the printed material concerns the Black Hawk War it is different than a traditional history. Apparently this title is not found in OCLC n.p. unknown

[Boer War] ['The Mafeking Mail']. WHALES, GNH (editor) G N H
A substantial run of 111 issues of the Special Siege Edition and Special Siege Slips of 'The Mafeking Mail' from Number 1 1 November 1899 to Number 148 23 May 1900 the first issue after the end of the siege with impeccable provenance
Mafeking: Townshend & Son 1899. Mafeking Townshend & Son 1899 and 1900. 111 issues various sizes see below printed on paper of many different colours and of varying quality often poor with 43 printed as a broadsheet the balance printed recto and verso with three early numbers folded and issued as bifolia. Unbound as issued; some loss primarily owing to the poor quality of some of the paper; however these extraordinary artefacts produced under siege conditions are of the utmost rarity in any condition. All issues in this run are now housed in individual Mylar pockets sealed on two sides only for easy access. A detailed list including the number date colour of paper length and condition of each issue is included with the lot. Dr Robin Pelteret has published his impressive research notes on 'The Mafeking Mail Special Siege Slips' online. He sets the scene: 'Mafeking lies 1392 kilometres north of Cape Town and 298 kilometres west of Johannesburg. It was first settled in the early 1850s. From the early 1860s it became a centre of squabbling and outright fighting between the Transvaal Republic the Baralong the Goshen Republic the British South Africa Company and the British Empire. <p>By the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War it was a robust "dorp" with some 1500 European citizens a group of Indian and oriental background and 5000 Baralong. It was a major rail junction with a station and railway workshops; a significant commercial centre and boasted a number of substantial buildings including two schools two churches a Standard Bank a Masonic Lodge a newspaper building a public library the Victoria Hospital and St Joseph's Convent Irish Sisters of Mercy. <p>The Siege of Mafeking was conducted between 14 October 1899 and 17 May 1900 that is 217 days and began 3 days after the declaration of war by the Transvaal Republic. It involved British and Colonial Forces under the command of Brevet-Colonel Robert Stephenson Smythe Baden-Powell the besieged and Boer Forces ab initio under the command General Piet Arnoldus Cronje and later Kommandant Sarel Eloff the besiegers'. <p>The precursor to the siege issues of 'The Mafeking Mail' was the 'Mafeking Mail and Protectorate Guardian' in its infancy when the siege was imposed. Number 22 the last full edition was published on Saturday 14 October 1899 the first day of the siege; a Special Siege Edition Number 23 was dated Saturday 21 October 1899 but headed 'reprinted on 23 October 1899'. <p>On 1 November 1899 a fortnight after the beginning of the siege the first of the famous siege issues was published 'Issued Daily Shells Permitting. Only Terms One Shilling Per Week Payable in Advance'. <p>'They were to be numbered 1 to 152 of which 143 minus Numbers 45 and 56 appeared during the actual siege. The newspaper contained snippets of information - both parochial and national General Orders and advertisements. Actually we have found them to be far more dramatic and engaging than this bland description implies especially reading these issues that were purchased day by day during the siege and have survived to this day. However we digress . In Mafeking there was to exist a fragile peace between the publisher and editor of the "Mafeking Mail Special Siege Slip" G.H.N. Whales and the military authorities. Whales was somewhat acerbic of tongue. He once publicly thanked the press censor for saving his life a boer shell having destroyed his editorial chair whilst he was submitting his newspaper copy for military scrutiny elsewhere in the village. He was to be briefly imprisoned on one occasion for publishing querulous criticism on the conduct of the siege and the restrictions put on the availability of news. In protest he was known to publish empty columns No. 47 and indeed cancelled one whole edition No. 45 as visible disregard and mute testimony to the censor's liberal use of a blue pencil.' <p>Dr Pelteret has established 'there are three different printings which appeared as four "editions"'. He surmises that by the time Number 6 came to press 'the commercial value to the printers of "The Mafeking Mail Siege Slips" had been discerned . and a substantial "overrun" allowed and set aside for later sale'. Indeed in Number 151 dated 30 May 1900 'there was an offer to make up sets at 30/- each of the Nos. 1-147 for "delivery July next" . They were issued soon after the lifting of the siege . cardboard-bound into two books of differing sizes and held together with metal staples'. <p>The current run comprises Numbers 1 and 2 both second issue 'on sale soon after 22 November 1899' 6 with the word 'Only' in the masthead 7-8 10-60 but 45 and 56 were not published 62-68 70 77-79 83-84 97-98 100 102 104 106 107-109 111-127 129-141 and 144-148. Sizes vary considerably: the first 30 or so are approximately 380 × 255 mm; most of the last 40 or so are approximately 340 × 200 mm; for the rest they range from one issue at 255 × 155 mm to several at 375 × 500 mm. There are easily ten different colours of paper often acidic and now prone to brittleness; a handful have peen printed on recycled ledger paper pre-printed with columns in red or blue. <p>'Petticoat in Mafeking. The Letters of Ada Cock' edited and published by John F. Midgley Kommetjie 1974 contains 57 letters now extensively annotated written during the siege. The letters 'were addressed to her elder sister Emily Empy Fuller née Franklin. Emily's husband Harry James Fuller was the owner of the cattle ranch "Oaklands" which was situated a few miles outside of Mafeking and was managed by his brother-in-law Willie Cock Ada's husband. Under the threat of possibly hostilities Willie and his wife moved into Mafeking and its environs with all their stock at the beginning of October 1899. They also took with them four young children Eileen Tooky Liell Vaughan and Baby Ada' introduction page 1. In the earliest surviving letter dated 12 October Ada writes that 'Willie . will . join the B.R. Bechuanaland Rifles' page 23. The basic pencil drawings of several cannon one labelled a '9PR' on the partially blank verso of Number 21 Wednesday 29 November and the blank verso of Number 22 Thursday 30 November are possibly in his hand. <p>Provenance: William and Ada Cock; by descent through their son Alfred Vaughan Cock to their great-grandson the vendor. 111 items.

[Boer War]. COOKE, Harry Ernest
An interesting eight-page letter from 96 Trooper Henry Ernest Cooke Victorian Mounted Rifles Maitland Camp Cape Town 22 June 1900 complete with the original OAS cover
Very Good. Octavo 8 pages two bifolia. The letter is creased where folded for posting; in excellent condition. The cover has a Cape of Good Hope 1d stamp with a partial and indistinct postmark; the verso is postmarked Melbourne 30 July 1900 and Hawthorn on the same day. The cover is chipped and torn with minor loss to the rear flap. The letter comes 'From No. 96 VMR on active Service South Africa' and is addressed to his cousin Miss E. Kirwood Eva in Glenferrie Victoria. After he deals at length with the squabbles over the fate of some stamps he had sent he explains in even greater detail what occurred to him after he 'got the Fever' at Kroonstad. He was in hospital for a fortnight in Bloemfontein where he 'lived on five pints of condensed milk & water & 5 ozs of brandy a day & I got pretty thin & weak on that'. He was then sent to a convalescent hospital at Wynberg. 'I was glad to leave Bloemfontein for men were dying fast every day & the hospital I was in was overlooking the cemetary & one could never look at the place but what he could see a lot of niggers digging graves as fast as ever they could . Eva I was not affraid to die by a bullet from a rifle but to lay there & die from that miserable fever I dreaded the thought of it'. Wynburg was 'a grand place only 22 of us to a ward & on spring beds & everything kept quiet & clean as a new pin'. He is then sent to Maitland Camp and 'what a difference . it was 120 of us laying on the floor as thick as it was possible for us to lay All Australians & New Zealanders in one room & there was no one in charge & it was nothing but one constant din . I couldn't stand it at all'. Conditions improved then worsened; he was told he was going home then not; he was put on what the doctor 'calls "Light Duties" . he won't send us back to the Regiment but we have to go fooling round this camp'. A dozen of them had to put stones around the paths at the camp then they had to paint them white 'Oh by jove "Talk about a fancy Ball" . I am beginning to think I am a poor fighting cock now'. The last two pages contain a lot of these sorts of ruminations. Murray page 315 687 Private Harry Ernest Cooke in 'The Second Battalion Australian Commonwealth Horse Victorian Units'. unknown

[Boer War]. METHUEN, Lieutenant General Lord
Klipdrift. Capture of Lord Methuen drop title
Klerksdorp: Printed and Published by H.M. Guest 1902. Very Good. Klerksdorp Printed and Published by H.M. Guest 1902. Octavo 225 × 137 mm 8 pages; the last five pages reprint 'Lord Methuen's Official Despatch . Klerksdorp 13th March 1902'. One large sheet issued folded and uncut now opened a little inexpertly with minor marginal loss to one top edge; outer hinge split for most of its length; small puncture in the top left-hand corner; trifling signs of use and age; a very good copy. 'In the Battle of Tweebosch or De Klipdrift on 7 March 1902 a Boer commando led by Koos de la Rey defeated a British column under the command of Lieutenant General Lord Methuen during the final months of the Second Boer War. De la Rey ambushed Methuen's column at Tweebosch on the Little Harts River. The British force numbered 1250 including nearly 1000 mounted men and four guns. Methuen's force was largely made up of green troops; these panicked and fled or surrendered. Only the British regulars in the column fought stubbornly in the combat which lasted from dawn until 9:30 am. The British lost 200 killed and wounded plus 600 men and all four guns captured. After being wounded twice and suffering a broken leg when his horse fell on him Methuen was captured. De la Rey sent the wounded Methuen to a British hospital in his own carriage under a flag of truce' Wikipedia. The hospital was in Klerksdorp where Herbert Guest the enterprising local 'Printer and Publisher Bookseller Stationer etc.' was based; we presume the publication and the initial three-page account of the battle and its aftermath are his work. The last paragraph of that section was written after 'the declaration of peace' 31 May 1902. In 1939 Herman Guest the publisher's son had some of these original Klerksdorp printings bound up and issued with a new foreword telling the story of the production of his father's 'records of the campaign in the Western Transvaal and elsewhere. It will be realized that the accounts were written during times of stress and consequently some of the statements have an "ex parte" complexion. Their value . lies in the fact that they were written and produced when Klerksdorp was practically in a state of siege. The inhabitants were unable to proceed a mile in any direction from the market square and the one railway line although closely guarded was frequently disturbed by Boers'.

The position of prime minister in New Zealand was known as premier until 1907. Robert Seddon 1845-1906 was premier from 1893; he died in office. He 'attracted much publicity for his outspokenness about the South African war: he visited South Africa in 1902 at General Kitchener's invitation. He was increasingly ready to arouse and exploit popular nationalism' 'Dictionary of New Zealand Biography'. The speech was 'Delivered at a Dinner given in his honour by the Public Bodies of Johannesburg during his recent visit' en route to the 1902 Colonial Conference in London held on the occasion of the coronation of Edward VII. The conference opened on 30 June 1902. In 1939 Herman Guest the publisher's son had some of these original Klerksdorp printings bound up and issued with a new foreword telling the story of the production of his father's 'records of the campaign in the Western Transvaal and elsewhere. It will be realized that the accounts were written during times of stress and consequently some of the statements have an "ex parte" complexion. Their value . lies in the fact that they were written and produced when Klerksdorp was practically in a state of siege.
