No. 2 1st Battalion 55th Coastal Artillery of the U.S. Army serving the batteries at Fort Kamehameha Fort Kam. The 55th CA was equipped with 155 mm. Grande Puissance Filloux guns typically mounted atop concrete Panama Mounts which enabled the pieces to traverse 360 degrees as well as 75 mm. field pieces. These remarkable images show the artillery gun crews test firing the 155 mm. guns loading shells night firing camp drills inspections athletics expanding the tracks for the 41st Coast Artillery Locomotive at Fort Kamehameha and more. Of special interest are three photos documenting the first Navy Pacific Flight by Commander John Rodgers in the PN-9 Seaplane from San Pablo CA non-stop to Honolulu HI which ran out of gas and landed in the Pacific Ocean. The crew fashioned sails from wing fabric and later leeboards to steer the flying boat and finally came within 15 miles of Kauai where it was discovered by the USS R-4 submarine. The second & third albums chronicle Boyd Yaden’s life with his wife Myrtle Yaden 1901-1988 moving from Klamath Falls OR to Alaskan Resident Engineer and Inspector for the Public Works Administration overseeing the installation of the sewer system in Petersburg Alaska with several photos showing street scenes digging up of streets to lay pipe earthmoving equipment steam shovels and finally the finished streets with bustling economic activity. In addition there are photos of building railroad trestles bridges and logging operations on Wrangell Island Alaska with photos showing the construction logging sites totem poles and then his work as supervising engineer for the Public Works Administration during the Depression building a power plant near Anchorage AK followed by the project of rebuilding the power plant in Seward AK with photos showing the phases of construction. The third album includes photos of the couple on the steamship SS Hazel B No. 2 hunting & fishing in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest the Pioneers Home in Sitka as well as documenting trips to visit relatives in Seattle North Dakota and New York. Two very large photo albums are devoted to Colonel Yaden’s activities as Division Engineer for United States Army Corps of Engineers and later for the Air Transport Command in Alaska and Western Canada. The albums open with an extensive group of photos of Hammer Field near Fresno California now Fresno Yosemite International Airport with images showing the laying of foundations training crash of a B-24 Bomber June 27 1942 the theaters bowling alley Sub Exchange NCO Club tennis courts recreational facilities swimming pool sandstorms and more. In addition Yaden oversaw the mineral and strategic materials facilities in Trona CA with images of the nearby Ruth Mine loading operations onto trucks and railcars. In 1943 Yaden began an engineering and photographic survey of the Western Canadian air bases for the ATC and has included large photos of Calgary Air Base aerial views of Edmonton Air Base and the Edmonton Air Base Edmonton Airport Wing Hangars under construction the Edmonton Satellite Airport aerial views and detailed photos of the Namao Airbase Alberta along with others such as the Grand Prairie Airbase Dawson Creek Fort Neslon Airbase Watson Lake Y.T. Whitehorse Y.T. and the ATC engineering post including the sawmill lumber racks and construction equipment in Canada. The last half of the fifth album is devoted to airfields and airbases in Alaska including the Northway Airfield showing aircraft landing hangars under construction engineering and structural detail photos Tanacross Airport AK Ladd Field and a whole series of large aerial views of the Galena Flood. Yaden also oversaw Airfield site surveys in Port Clarence Nome Point Spencer Imuruk Basin even including a dog sled team and Native American guide in the depths of winter. In addition The final two albums are devoted to the life and activities of Myrtle A. “Madison†Yaden 1901-1988 who taught school in Whitefish Montana then moved to Mullan Idaho the Puget Sound region during the 1920s and later Klamath Falls where she would meet Boyd Yaden. This album includes photos of the gold dredges in Mullan Idaho near Wallace North Dakota Agricultural College band members Montana High School basketball champions football teams hijinks with fellow students and teachers the YWCA Camp on Bainbridge Island treks to Seattle Poulsbo and other areas around the Sound.

‎[PACIFISM] [MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR] WRIGHT, Henry C[larke]‎

‎Dick Crowninshield the Assassin and Zachary Taylor the Soldier. The Difference Between Them‎

‎N.p. n.d. Hopedale: 1848. 16mo 15cm. Sewn self-wrappers; 12pp. A worn copy stain on first leaf bleeds with diminishing effect through entire text; marginal loss to final leaf not costing text; still complete and Good. Issued without imprint but likely printed at Adin Ballou's Hopedale Community where Wright was a resident but see note below. Date of composition is given as Jan. 24 1848 at close of text; this pamphlet was likely printed soon after that date as Wright's sequel titled The Employers of Dick Crowninshield was composed in March of the same year and makes reference to the current work in its foreword. <br /> <br /> In typical Wright fashion a contrarian point of view - here radical non-resistance - is stretched to its logical limits by unflattering analogy. Wright the idiosyncratic radical abolitionist feminist pacifist freethinker and proto-anarchist compares Zachary Taylor's actions at the Battle of Monterey to nothing more than murder for hire building his analogy around the notorious 1830 murder of a Salem ship's-captain Joseph White by a paid assassin the Dick Crowninshield of the title. After laying out the details of each man's purported deeds including a quite lurid account of the Battle of Monterey Wright follows with a long list of "The Differences" between them concluding in the end that there is no difference in kind: ".The assassin killed a man whom he knew to be innocent; the soldier did the same.The assassin killed the innocent at the instigation of his employers; so did the soldier.The assasin entered into a contract with his employers voluntarily; so did the soldier." etc. In the end the only noteworthy difference is that "Zachary's deeds are said by the priests and churches to be God-approved and Christ-like; the assassin's are denounced by them as evil and only evil." <br /> <br /> At least three separate editions of the pamphlet were issued with priority likely as follows: 1 a Hopedale imprint issued with a full title page dated 1848 in which the title subject's name is misspelled "Crowningshield;" 2 the current edition undated issued with drop-title the subject's name corrected to "Crowninshield"; no imprint clearly from a different setting of type from the first - but based on close comparison with digital sources likely from the same font of type as the first hence our suggestion of Hopedale as the likely place of printing for this edition; 3 a stated Second Edition undated published in Edinburgh probably the same year. All editions are uncommon; 4 locations noted in OCLC for this edition. No copies traced in commerce. unknown‎

‎Pont-à-Mousson France 1863. Size of the whole when folded and closed: 22.5 x 18 cm. Élie Haguenthal colophon: Paul Toussaint Half red cloth and hand coloured lithographed paper sides. Lithographed folding panorama showing 8 different lithographed scenes captioned in and beneath the illustrations of the Italian War of 1859 from the French-Italian perspective.The 8 scenes 5 3-leaf scenes and 3 single leaf scenes are assembled to make a single long foldout as assembled with the text: 21.5 x 395 cm; image size 19 x ca. 310 cm coloured by a contemporary hand. 5 ll. of letterpress text and the lithographed folding panorama. Second known copy of a lithographic panorama of the Italian War of 1859 also known as the Second Italian War of Independence. This war was fought in the northwest Piedmont region of Italy pitting the Second French Empire and Savoy-Piedmont-Sardinia against the Austrian Empire and it proved crucial in the process of Italian unification. The text and following hand-coloured lithographs describe and depict eight stages of the war from the departure of French troops for Italy to their return some months later and highlighting several important battles including those at Magenta and Solferino. As a result the influence of the Austrian Empire in Italy was greatly reduced.The present work is extremely rare: we have located only one other copy at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and it moreover differs slightly from the present one.The title-page functions as the front paste-down the text and illustration of the panorama fold out from there. The text and illustration have been printed on one side of the paper. With a French inscription in pencil at the head of the first page. The binding is somewhat foxed and browned the front board is slightly cracked the red cloth around the spine is slightly faded the back hinge is weakened some occasional staining and very slight foxing throughout.

‎[Pennsylvania – Presbyterian Church – Civil War – World War II] Hill, George; Hill, Harriett; Weeks, WC; et al W C‎

‎Multigenerational Archive of a Pennsylvania Family Spanning More Than a Century‎

‎United States Norway and Germany 1960. 320 items: 276 letters thirty-eight modern photographs five CDVs and one cabinet card; with a large amount of unsorted ephemera. Of the letters 198 are from the nineteenth century with most from the 1840s through 1870s; and seventy-eight are from the twentieth century with most from the 1940s and 1950s. Excellent. A broad archive mainly of letters spanning over 130 years. The letters were mostly sent between members of the Hill family of Pennsylvania and other families Lewis Hosack and Weeks that married in. In the nineteenth century George Hill 1815–1895 his wife Harriet Lewis 1820–1852 and their two oldest daughters Jane Hosack 1842–1878 and Harriet Hill 1844–1928 are the main correspondents; in the twentieth letters are mainly from Cornelia 1863–1948 and Charlotte 1874–deceased Lewis Harriet Lewis’ nieces and the family of Nancy Weeks 1909–1992 her great-granddaughter-in-law. Weeks also had several correspondents in Europe immediately after World War II.<br /> <br /> Earlier letters discuss family affairs temperance societies and church business—George Hill was a Presbyterian minister and writes to his family from trips to the General Assembly. For instance he describes the 1843 Assembly:<br /> <br /> “We have dispatched a good deal of business this week in the Assembly. The question which detained us longest was with regard to the right of Elders to impose hands in the Ordination of Ministers this was discussed for the greater part of two days and finally decided against the right to impose. But of all the questions which have yet come before us none has excited so much interest or called forth half the feeling which the question on the approval of the records of the Synod of Pittsburgh did. The committee on the records took exception to the mention of the Synod on the subject of Temperance . On this I let them know my mind at considerable length and in the course of the proceedings voted down the very same proposition which was adopted by the last Gen. Ass. on the subject of Temperance.†May 27 1843<br /> <br /> At the same time Hill was preaching around Pennsylvania and Ohio to raise funds to start the Blairsville Female Seminary which was open from 1851 to 1913. Among his travel correspondence is an interesting description of antebellum Athens Ohio:<br /> <br /> “On Tuesday morning I rode 6 or 7 miles to Athens . which is wholly given over to abolition. This subject is to that people ‘The one thing needful’. It is the law and the gospel; it is philanthropy patriotism morality and religion. It swallows up everything else and enlists the sympathies & energies of the people to the exclusion of almost everything besides.†January 29 1844<br /> By the outbreak of the Civil War Jane and Harriet are young adults and Harriet gets involved with the war effort. She writes to her stepmother Abigail Hawes:<br /> <br /> “I was in sewing for the Soldiers yesterday. I made a Havelock. I guess there were over thirty ladies there sewing. The Bardstown ladies are making clothing for Capt. S’s company. They leave on next Monday. . I went in early last Monday morning to see our company off. The flag was presented by Mr Beaumin to Capt. Nesbit. Then Mrs Thompson & Luther Martin presented Testaments & ‘Prayer Books’ some of Mrs. McAfee’s work they then marched up to the depot followed by men women & children. Such a sight I never witnessed. Some of the soldiers large men cried like children – bade goodbye to every body – men that I never saw before came up & bade me goodbye & then turned their heads away to hide the tears. . But to go back to our Sewing Society you ask ‘will they really do anything’ I tell you they really have done something. Made seventy five shirts & intend making so many more of blue & red flannel & forty five or fifty Havelocks about thirty five towels eighty pin cushions or needle books. Then when the company went away the ladies supplied them with either a blanket or a comfort apiece . The ladies also intend making bandages or something to fasten tight round their stomachs to keep them from taking dysentery so readily.†June 4 1861<br /> <br /> Harriet notes that Abigail doesn’t “seem to be much disturbed about the war†May 20 though she requests that although “We all admire your patriotism . be sure & dont send us an envelope with ‘Death to Traitors’ on it†June 4.<br /> <br /> Other letters from Harriet and Jane discuss school family and especially health; a number of deadly diseases were rampant throughout the century and many letters read as litanies of dead and dying friends and family. The CDVs from this era mainly taken in studios in Blairsville seem to be mostly family friends or employees at the Female Seminary; many of the subjects are identified verso.<br /> <br /> The family’s letters in the twentieth century are similar though with less sickness and death and from more dispersed locations in the US—seemingly few family members remained in Pennsylvania.<br /> <br /> One particularly interesting thread is Nancy Weeks’ correspondence with several Europeans immediately after World War II. One is Benjamin Molnar a Hungarian living in Munich and in the process of emigrating to the US. Molnar describes himself and continental Europeans generally as “prejudiced and very nationalistic†and explains that he would prefer to live in the American midwest or west as the “types of people†on the east coast “are rather unamerican looking†July 14 1949. He ends up in California and complains to Weeks that:<br /> <br /> “Everybody here seems to be violently pro-negro and pro-Jewish. Jews and negroes are all right I suppose and I have nothing against them but is it a sin for a white man to prefer to live among his own kind†December 27 1949<br /> <br /> On the other end of the spectrum are the Bjelkes a Norwegian family who write a number of times to Nancy. They describe the Nazi invasion:<br /> <br /> “Reidar drove me and the children 7 & 2 years up in the country the first day thinking we would be safe there he had to leave right away to do his duty of course and we were left alone. Not many days later we were in the middle of the whole war shooting and bombing all around then the middle of the nite we had to flee out in the snow two children and no place to go at last I could no more and together with some others we broke the window of a little mountain home and crawled thru finding the house empty. . But the peace was short not long after some soldiers came and said we must off as the germans would soon be there. Well out in the deep snow again and we struggle thru and at last came to a little mountain farm where we were allowed to stay. But they had little food and for four weeks we starved . At last Reidar found us and we wandered our way towards home . to Bygdo. Mother had been there all the time and everything had been fine there.†October 10 1945<br /> <br /> They also tell Weeks about Oslo during the war and their experience of the occupation:<br /> <br /> “We demonstrated our hate as far as we dared to – by not sitting beside any Germans for example on the car it went so far that they put up a ticket saying ‘no seat must stay vacant or we would be arrested.’ The result was that we just stood all the time then a new ticket came up we were not aloud to stand. Well I had to jump off the car several times in order not to seat myself beside a uniform. Then they started taking our red caps & scarfs – we used them as a demonstration you see & they not only took them off us but kept them. They even took our red jackets from us if we dared wear them on the street & so many dared! On our Kings last birthday during the war several hundred were arrested because they wore flowers in their buttonholes– Oh the Germans & Naszi were so childish.†May 11 1945<br /> <br /> They also describe the difficulties of postwar life including the dangers of unexploded ordnance left around the area which stop the ferries from running to Oslo and injure the family’s young son Per.<br /> <br /> Overall the archive is notable for its breadth spanning at least four generations of a family and many historical eras and events. unknown‎

‎Lima 1824. Good plus. 271pp. Modern paper boards printed spine label. Moderate tanning. Light worming to final leaves repaired slightly affecting text. Scarce printing of correspondence relating to the royalist military campaigns in Peru under Viceroy José de la Serna from the beginning of 1821 to early 1824. La Serna was installed as Viceroy in January 1821 following a petition of top royalist officers. He evacuated Lima and moved the colonial capital inland to Cuzco where he set about rebuilding his army and campaigning to recapture the territory lost by his predecessors. In this he was quite successful and by the beginning of 1824 he had recaptured almost all of Peru and penned in Bolivar at Trujillo. The correspondence included here follows this successful portion of his generalship and provides an important first hand accounting of events. Following this period however La Serna suffered his own military rebellion and was sufficiently weakened until he lost the Battle of Ayacucho and thereby all of Peru in December 1824.
