‎Hotel Florida: Truth Love and Death in the Spanish Civil War.‎

‎<p>New York:: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2014. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine tight copy with discreet remainder dot in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Madrid 1936. In a city blasted by a civil war six people meet and find their lives changed forever. Ernest Hemingway his career stalled his marriage sour hopes that this war will give him fresh material and new romance; Martha Gellhorn an ambitious novice journalist hungry for love and experience thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain. Robert Capa and Gerda Taro idealistic young photographers based in Paris want to capture history in the making and are inventing modern photojournalism in the process. And Arturo Barea chief of the Spanish government's foreign press office and Ilsa Kulcsar his Austrian deputy are struggling to balance truth-telling with loyalty to their sometimes compromised cause a struggle that places both of them in peril. Beginning with the cloak-and-dagger plot that precipitated the first gunshots of the war and moving forward month by month to the end of the conflict. Hotel Florida traces the tangled and disparate wartime destinies of these three couples against the backdrop of a critical moment in history: a moment that called forth both the best and the worst of those caught up in it. In this noir landscape of spies soldiers revolutionaries and artists the shadow line between truth and falsehood sometimes became faint indeed your friend could be your enemy and honesty could get you or someone else killed.Years later Hemingway would say "It is very dangerous to write the truth in war and the truth is very dangerous to come by." In Hotel Florida from the raw material of unpublished letters and diaries official documents and recovered reels of film the celebrated biographer Amanda Vaill has created a narrative of love and reinvention that is finally a story about truth: finding it telling it and living itwhatever the cost.</p> Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, hardcover‎

‎[Spanish-American War]. [McCook Family]‎

‎Archive Containing Original Photographs Letters and Documents Pertaining to the Military and Post-Military Careers of Major General Alexander McDowell McCook and His Son-in-Law Brigadier General Chauncey Brooke Baker‎

‎Various locations in Cuba 1902. Very good. Seventeen loose folio scrapbook leaves each with mounted correspondence or other documents; one vernacular photograph album; two scrapbooks; and a small number of loose documents and newspaper clippings as detailed below. An informative archive comprised of material from two generations of the McCook family of Ohio specifically two different military officers -- Major General Alexander McDowell McCook and his son-in-law Brigadier General Chauncey Brooke Baker 1860-1936. Baker was married to McCook's eldest daughter Lucianna "Lucy" McCook Baker who seems to have compiled the various components of the present archive which mostly documents the career of her husband Chauncey Baker. The collection includes seventeen loose folio scrapbook leaves each with mounted correspondence or other documents one photograph album two scrapbooks and a small number of loose documents and newspaper clippings.<br /> <br /> Union Army General Alexander McDowell McCook one of the "Fighting McCooks" continued his army career after the war in the regular Army. He commanded Fort Leavenworth Kansas from 1886-1890 the Department of Arizona from 1890-1893 and the Department of Colorado from 1893-1895. He was joined in each location by his daughter and son-in-law. Chauncey Brooke Baker married Lucy McCook while at Leavenworth and later served as McCook's aide-de-camp and acting engineering officer at Los Angeles and Denver Headquarters Department of Arizona and Colorado. Later promotions and the start of the Spanish-American War led Baker to Cuba in a quartermaster role. It seems his wife accompanied him there and began acquiring the images now housed in the photograph album offered here. Lucy Baker died in 1923 placing the scrapbooks completion date before that time. The material is detailed as follows:<br /> <br /> 1 Seventeen loose scrapbook leaves containing twenty-five pieces of correspondence typed documents and printed documents primarily associated with the later business dealings of Alexander M. McCook while he was stationed in Utah Colorado Kansas. This material dates mostly between 1882 and 1898. Letters are from a variety of correspondents and reflect McCook's post-war military career at frontier installations his involvement in the railroads investments and other personal matters. One of the more informative documents details the history of McCook's military service from his entry to West Point in 1847 through his appointment to the Department of Arizona in 1894. The collection also includes a handful of loose documents and letters as well as an envelope of newspaper clippings documenting McCook's later affairs. One notable item is a four-page offprint of a memorial of McCook written by Col. Horace N. Fisher and first published in the Boston Transcript on Sunday June 13 1903. General McCook had just passed away the previous day at Lucy's house in Dayton Ohio.<br /> <br /> 2 Vernacular Photograph Album Documenting Cuba Under Spanish Occupation and the United States Military Government's Occupation. Various locations in Cuba: ca. 1898-1902. 24 leaves illustrated with 303 silver gelatin photographs from 3.25 x 2.25 to 7.5 x 9 inches. Quarto. Contemporary three-quarter calf and black cloth boards. Spine perished most leaves separated from spine but held to each other by cloth gutter in a few groupings. Leaves worn silvering to some images. Inscribed on front free endpaper "Lucy McCook. Fort Leavenworth Kansas Nov 21st 1888." Lucy likely dated the album in 1888 then never used it as all of the images in the album emanate from Cuba. The photographs depict a mixture of rural and urban scenes featuring native Cubans as well as Americans Cuban and American military personnel landmarks military installations ships recreation building interiors with some images depicting the remnants of war. Notable are three large format photographs at the end of the album: a photograph of armed soldiers and a religious figure exiting a fortress-like structure with handwritten caption below "On the way to the Garote Castillo del Principe - during the Spanish occupation;" a photograph showing a large group of men assembled at tables and chairs in a gallery-style room with a handwritten caption reading "Opening of the Cuban Constitutional Convention - Havana - Nov. 5th 1900 General Leonard Wood Military Governor reading address in full uniform Temporary President on his left;" and a photograph of Havana's large cathedral with a crowd gathered captioned "Governor General Weyler entering Cathedral Havana Spanish Occupation." Captions were likely added by Lucy McCook whose husband was serving at the time as quartermaster chief quartermaster and depot quartermaster in the U.S. Army's Division and Department of Cuba. This album is the most historically-important and useful item in the present archive.<br /> <br /> 3 Scrapbook of Newspaper Clippings and an Original Drawing of an American Military Officer in Indian Territory. N.p.: early 1900s. 11 leaves illustrated with newspaper clippings and one drawing. Quarto. Contemporary brown cloth elaborately tooled in black title in gilt on front cover and spine. Moderate wear rubbing and dust-soiling. Inscribed on front free endpaper "Lucy McCook Baker / Los Angeles - California / April 1892." An interesting collection of mostly newspaper clippings associated with Native American rituals related to the Moqui Indians the Army and articles on General McCook or Lieutenant Chauncey Baker. The album also includes an original pen drawing titled in manuscript "Tent of The Macauley in Camp at Guthrie I.T. 20th June 1889." The drawing features a military figure standing in a road holding a small shovel in the air in front of a sign pointing one way to Oklahoma and the other way to Ft. Leavenworth. The drawing is signed at bottom "Glück."<br /> <br /> 4 Scrapbook of Ephemeral Items Relating to the Military Careers of Alexander McDowell McCook and Chauncey Baker Plus Later Items Related to Another Member of the McCook Family. N.p.: early 1900s. 9 leaves illustrated with telegrams pamphlets invitations and other ephemeral items. Quarto. Contemporary aqua cloth with gilt titles on front cover string tied. The items primarily concern McCook's and Baker's military service including an "In Memoriam" for Alexander McDowell McCook as well as some items relating to the later military career of Alexander McCook Craigshead.<br /> <br /> A diverse collection of materials relating to the careers of two notable military men serving in the American West and in Cuba during the Spanish-American War with a wonderful vernacular photograph album documenting the latter and the whole likely retained and organized by the daughter and wife respectively of the men involved. unknown‎

However as sick and wounded troops began to return and the conditions of the war came to light the weekly news magazine's tone shows a marked shift. Within a couple of weeks the magazine's pro-expansionist articles had shifted entirely in the opposite direction and by September 8th the opening segment begins: "The sad condition of our returning troops has raised this inquiry to the minds of those whom Mr. Lincoln called 'the plain people': If we cannot administer affairs in our own territory better than Camp Algers Thomas Wikoff and Black have been administered how are we likely to administer the Philippine Islands ten thousand miles away" Indeed the coverage of the Treaty of Paris on December 10th speaks to the disillusionment wrought by the war. The opening segment on December 15th begins: "The treaty has been signed at last and we are in possession of Cuba Porto Rico and as much of the Philippines as the Spaniards possessed which is not much.

Wrappers soiled creased and chipped with contemporary ownership inscription on front wrapper. First and last leaves detached from text block text block itself detached from wrappers. Good only. A scarce historical photobook that doubles as a catalogue for a Chattanooga photography studio at the outset of the Spanish-American War. Named after Union General George H. Thomas Camp Thomas was a massive temporary military training facility established at the Chickamauga Battlefield in Georgia during the Spanish-American War. The camp hosted up to 70000 troops but became a national scandal after deadly disease outbreaks. The work features seventy total monotone photographs from third-page to full-page with brief printed captions and plate sizes memorializing various scenes at Camp Thomas in 1898. The subjects of the photographs include military structures scenes on the training ground soldiers from various state units in small and large groups soldiers hosting local visitors the large corral of horses at the camp monuments inside the camp / national park views of the natural scenery and more. According to explanatory text on the inside front wrapper "the main idea is to show by photograph such scenes of every day occurrence; routine work both on and off duty as will give nearest a correct idea of what the life of a soldier in camp is made of or as you would see him were you on the grounds in person."<br /> <br /> The rear wrapper reveals an additional motivation for the publication of the work in the form of instructions for ordering any of the photographs featured within. Such is the reasoning behind the plate sizes listed by each example. The Chattanooga studio Sidebottom & Kerr states that "Every Plate in this Book was made expressly for it and having the negative can furnish upon short notice photograph of any plate." The company offers to send the catalogue free of charge to anyone east of the Rocky Mountains. A scarce and unusual photobook that does double duty as a Tennessee photographic studio's order book.

‎New York: Muller Luchsinger & Co 1898. Color chromolithograph 16 x 20 inches printed on thick glossy paper. Corners a bit chipped several short closed edge tears minor surface wear. Image area still vibrant and clean. Very good overall. A striking and very rare lithograph capturing an important moment during the Spanish-American War specifically the American Navy's assault on Manila Bay in the Philippines in 1898. In the present scene three U.S. warships from the Asiatic Squadron in the left and middle including Admiral Dewey's flagship the U.S.S. Olympia fire their guns toward a few retreating ships flying the Spanish flag. A Spanish ship at middle right is almost completely sunken with just a portion of the flag peaking above the water. The scene depicts the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War a decisive victory for the American Navy that stands as one of the most lop-sided naval battles in history. During the course of the encounter the Spanish Pacific Squadron was destroyed and effectively ended Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The bombardment was commanded by Rear Admiral George Dewey 1837-1917 whose head-and-shoulders portrait appears in the bottom left corner.<br /> <br /> The work was accomplished by the New York firm of Muller Luchsinger & Company a prolific but still somewhat obscure producer of prints lithographs and chromolithographs in the latter-19th and early-20th centuries.
