‎Lathrop C. Harper Inc. New York first edition 1962. Cloth 4to. 885 pp 52 plates. Approximately 2500 entries. From the preface : "Dr. Guerra's bibliography is so organized as to present its materials in three distinct groups of American-printed publications - in books and pamphlets; in almanacs; and in newspapers and periodicals. .Each of the two groups of the bibliography listed in chronological order - books and almanacs - has been provided with an alphabetical index of authors and titles ; the newspaper section understandably arranged by the alphabet is followed by a chronological conspectus. The titles in every case are studied not merely listed. Under each of them the results are thus recorded: concise collation by signatures and pages; references to the entry in other bibliographies or historical studies; locations of copies; and copious extracts from the book in hand or editorial comment upon it demonstrating the appropriateness of its inclusion in a bibliography of American medicine." Smit History of the Life Sciences noted that the range is not liite dto medicine: "It includes a valuable Bibliography of bibliographies indexes of names and subjects. It also contains much that is of interest to the historian of biology e.g. medical botany ethnobiology". Near Very Good. Lathrop C. Harper Inc., New York, first edition, 1962 hardcover‎

"It often happens that my American friend say: 'Of course it is terrible to see French children starving. We long to do something about it. But do you really think we can without danger send them Vitamins and milk Can we be sure they will get it' The answer to this question has been given time after time by the American organizations that supervise the distribution; they know that the children and they alone receive the food; and they have many touching letters of thanks from the children themselves. Here is one of them" from the preface. Original wrappers lithographed in blue red and black. Light blue comb binding. . 8 in. x 5 in. . With seven full-page color lithographs.

We had not more than time to form before the enemy were discovered advancing rapidly upon us on our right & a full Brigade obliquely towards our left.

Wilson French is the </i>6 <i>only officer known to have been taken prisoner he was wounded in the engagement of the first inst & we are not aware of his being paroled</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background </b></p><p>The Battle of Gettysburg fought July 1-3 1863 was a major turning point in the Civil War. Over the course of three grueling days Union Major General George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac beat back desperate attacks by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia including the ill-fated "Pickett's Charge" on July 3. The Union victory ended Lee's short-lived invasion of the North.</p><p>Many soldiers of the 17th Connecticut had been stung by criticisms leveled at their unit after the Battle of Chancellorsville where the corps was surprised and driven from the field with a flank attack by Stonewall Jackson. As Brady reports here events on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg were eerily similar to Chancellorsville. On July 1 their regiment was again divided outnumbered and outflanked by the same Confederate unit as it had been at Chancellorsville although this time under command of Richard Ewell. As he drove the Connecticut soldiers from the field and through the streets of Gettysburg on the first day of fighting Union Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Fowler was killed. In a disciplined retreat that evening the 17th Connecticut fell back and was posted near the center of the Union line on Cemetery Hill near a stone wall. Their position where the Union lines' "fishhook" curved southeastward toward Culp's Hill exposed them to murderous crossfire from Confederate artillery on three sides. The unit sustained high casualties for the next two days; of the unit's 386 men at Gettysburg 20 were killed 81 wounded and 96 reported missing. Brady himself was wounded by a shell fragment on July 2.</p><p>The regiment performed heroic service on the second day of the battle protecting Cemetery Hill from the attacks of Jubal Early's division specifically Harry Hays's brigade of "Louisiana Tigers." The 17th Connecticut then withstood the Confederate bombardment of July 3 spending much of the day trading shots with sharpshooters in town. Brady's report in slightly revised and expanded form is reprinted in <i>Official Records</i> Series 1 Vol. 27 Chap. 39 Part 1 pp. 716-719. In closing there Brady said "The regiment behaved gallantly. No troops in the world behaved better. Both officers and men are deserving of great credit for their coolness and bravery throughout the entire three days' battle."</p><p><b>Allen G. Brady </b>1822-1905 was from Torrington Connecticut. He enlisted in May 1861 as part of the 3rd Connecticut Infantry Regiment. In August 1862 he was commissioned into the 17thConnecticut Volunteers. Brady was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel for his valor at the Battle of Chancellorsville just two months before Gettysburg. There Brady assumed command after the colonel and lieutenant colonel of his regiment each fell. Brigadier General Charles Devens commended Brady in his official report stating "The Seventeenth Connecticut under command of Major Brady – its colonel having been wounded and lieutenant-colonel killed – was in fact rallied and reformed in their positions." In October 1863 Brady was discharged for disability presumably from his wound suffered at Gettysburg three months previous. He was mustered into the Veteran Reserve Corps and served as Provost-General at the Point Lookout Union Prison Camp in 1864. He was brevetted Colonel in August 1865.</p>‎

‎[French & Indian War Map] [Southeastern US] U S‎

‎An Accurate Map of Louisiana and the Territory in Dispute between the English & French.‎

‎A great small map of a good portion of the now southeastern United States reaching to the Gulf coast at the south and Texas to the west. The area to the east of the Mississippi is marked "Territory in Dispute." The colonies of Virginia North and South Carolina and Georgia all extend to the Mississippi. <br /><br />English claims to the disputed area are bolstered by a notation along the border between the Carolinas noting: "A large country subject to the English since 1729." Numerous Indian tribes are noted as well as "Wandering Indians" at the western portion of the Gulf coast. <br /><br />Maps from <i>The British Magazine</i> are cited by Jolly as "practically unobtainable." A fascinating portrayal of the area that was the subject of the French and Indian War in a very uncommon source. <br /><br />Reference: Jolly Maps of America in Periodicals before 1800: 157. Not in Cumming; <i>The Southeast in Early Maps</i>. ICN 7568. From The British Magazine, February, 1760 issue.‎

‎[CIVIL WAR]‎

‎Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon‎

‎<p>Showing Union troops arriving in Philadelphia from New Jersey via ferry and marching in formation towards the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon cheered on by Philadelphians. Text at the bottom lists members of the committee and men willing to accept donations for the saloon. This image became a choice souvenir for soldiers passing through Philadelphia.</p> <b>CIVIL WAR.</b>Print. <i>Union Volunteers Refreshment Saloon of Philadelphia</i>. James Queen delineator and lithographer. Philadelphia: Thomas Sinclair 1861. In period frame 35 x 29 in. <p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon was organized in South Philadelphia in 1861 by grocer Barzilla S. Brown. He began informally distributing food to Union troops traveling through Philadelphia an important rail and steamer hub. The relief effort became official on May 27 1861. The saloon provided soldiers with food drink stamps and paper and offered traveling troops a place to rest. This initial effort differed in some ways from the later Sanitary Fairs that contributed to the care of sick and wounded soldiers. At this point the civilian members were catering to the needs of healthy new recruits.</p><p>In September the Refreshment Saloon added a hospital to aid sick and wounded troops. The saloon supported itself through donations of food clothing cash and later through admission cost to view the Confederate navy vessel <i>Ram</i> which was captured in 1863. After providing social and medical services for four years the saloon closed in late 1865.</p><p><b>James Fuller Queen</b> 1820-1886 apprenticed to learn lithographic draftsmanship. He drew a large variety of lithographs for large printing houses of Wagner & McGuigan Thomas Sinclair and P. S. Duval. He drew views of buildings cities scenic attractions newsworthy events portraits sheet music covers diplomas illustrations for magazines and other images. He also became an outstanding chromolithographer. His view of the "Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon" is one of Queen's most complex works and perhaps the one for which he is best known. He later drew the United States Sanitary Commission Fair in Philadelphia.</p><p><b>Thomas S. Sinclair</b> c. 1805-1881 was born in the Orkney Islands of Scotland and studied lithography in Edinburgh and other cities. He started his own printing firm in Philadelphia in 1838. He was among the first in Philadelphia to experiment with color lithography. From 1854 to 1859 his brother joined him in the firm of Thomas Sinclair & Co. Later his son worked with him in Thomas Sinclair & Son. He published three different hand-colored lithographs by Queen of Brown's Refreshment Saloon and its friendly rival William M. Cooper's Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon in 1861.</p> Thomas Sinclair‎
