‎New Haven: Thomas J. Stafford Printer 1864. 13 1 blank pp. Stitched Very Good with light dusting.<br /> <br /> Citing "the vast resources of our country and the unparalleled ratio of increase both of population and property" the author concludes that of course the United States has the ability to liquidate its war debt. Suggestions of bankruptcy or repudiation are "absurd."<br /> Copperheads are guilty of making "the poor believe that they are oppressed by the Government for the benefit of the rich. What a responsibility rests upon those men who for base party ends by means of financial falsehoods are doing their utmost to evoke the spirit of the demon mob!"<br /> OCLC 887121042 1- Yale as of July 2024 one of a number of imprints apparently bound together as "Economic Tracts.

‎XV Corps (The Great War)‎

‎A Christmas Dinner Menu - multi signed by the Sergeants‎

‎Privately printed. XV CORPS SERGEANTS - Sergeants mess Christmas dinner menu 1918 multi signed Mouvaux: Privately printed 1918 A Christmas day 1918 menu with a black and white staff photograph dated 1919 The Menu: A4 sized piece of woven paper that has been folded in 2 places to create a leaflet on the front has been illustrated by one of the staff a design by hand of the menu and this has been printed complete with the XV Corps emblem on each side of the front cover are illustrations initialled by the same artist also printed; in pencil one of the soldiers has signed his name at the top 'H Broadbridge' and I think it is more likely that he was an attendee at the dinner and the original owner of this menu; on the reverse in the centre is the menu that has been tipped in on either side are the hand signed signatures of attending Sergeants the waiters chef and senior officers there are 27 in total; overall this remarkable survivor is in good to very good condition there are browning marks along the folded lines and a few spotting marks; it is fragile as can be expected; it is nothing short of astonishing that this menu has survived. The photograph: A5 in size and in black and white; on the reverse there is a contemporary inscription that reads "XV Corps W.O Sergeants Mess Mouvaux Nr Tourcoing France January 1919" so this staff photo would have been taken only a week or two after their Christmas feast; it is likely that most if not all of the Sergeants pictured would have been at the dinner; overall in very good condition with some handling marks on the reverse of the photo. A scarce survivor that is somehow still with its accompanying photo of the band of Sergeants that would have attended the Christmas Dinner in 1918 in Mouvaux and signed this menu. On the front of the menu are two wonderful illustrations drawn to signify the end of the war with the ink still yet to dry on the armistice agreement. On one side the illustration shows a Sergeant crouched behind a rock with the caption "The observation post something!!! Xmas 1917" and then on the other is a Sergeant sweetly puffing on his cigarette dreaming of a turkey with the caption "Something good Xmas 1918". A reflection of the mood in the Sergeants mess at that time. XV Corps was formed in April 1916 and was an amalgamation of divisions and specialist companies such as a signals team and a mortar battery unit. Its aim was to support the army in critical battles across the western front where needed. The corps was large in numbers and so had these two dozen sergeants in charge of the men. They would see action in the battle of the Somme Lys Ypres and the final advance in Flanders with many shown in the photo and attending this dinner decorated heroes.   A truly remarkable menu and photo from the final moments of the great war signed by the sergeants of XV Corps. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1918. Privately printed paperback‎

The saloon was a volunteer relief agency supported by the citizens of Philadelphia which provided meals hospital care and washing sleeping and writing facilities to military personnel refugees and freedmen throughout the war. The print shows soldiers cheered by civilian onlookers marching out from the main building to embark on cars of the Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad for transport to the battlefields to the south.

‎Amsterdam 1665. 4to. Jacob Venckel Modern marbled boards. 2 69 pp. Rare pamphlet written by an anonymous author discussing the fascinating Battle of Vågen the main port area of neutral Bergen in Norway in August 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War 1665-1667 including its background and aftermath. The Second Anglo-Dutch war was a war at sea caused by conflicts in colonial territories of the Dutch Republic and England. This naval war consisted mainly of protecting their own merchant ships capturing enemy ships and trying to sink mutual warships. The Battle of Vågen was an important naval battle between a rich treasure fleet of the Dutch East India Company VOC and an English flotilla of warships. Twice a year the Dutch VOC sent a treasure fleet from the East Indies to the Dutch Republic with money and goods. On 24 December 1664 one of the richest-laden fleets in Dutch history departed from Batavia for the homeland with a cargo estimated to be worth millions. This fleet was intended to support the Dutch Republic financially and therefore should not fall into enemy hands. Since the tensions with England were already high in 1664 an experienced officer the rear admiral Pieter de Bitter ca. 1620-1666 was appointed to command this fleet.The present pamphlet gives an account of the events before and after the Battle of Vågen and also in broad lines of the battle itself including all kinds of correspondence and notes from high-ranking figures. The dating in the title is incorrect as the story took place from August 1 to August 20 which is why the title has been corrected by hand in the present copy. The present edition is one of two both printed in 1665 but with a different imprint the present one with the publisher and place of publication and the other with only the year and the alignment of the text. However they were both likely printed by the same printer. The present edition is very rare. We've not been able to find other copies in sales records and only a few in institutions. A highly interesting pamphlet on one of the most important and fascinating 17th-century sea battles in Dutch naval history and in the history of the Dutch VOC.The date "13. Juny" has been crossed out on the title page and replaced by "1. Augusti" in manuscript. The work is slightly browned throughout a small hole in the lower margin of the title-page and an ink drop in the lower margin of page 65.

Albert Hunter; endorsed on verso "Deduct $2 85/100 from fare to Balto - Discharged D.S. Miles Col. 2d Inf." Very Good. <br /> <br /> Dixon Stansbury Miles 1804-1862 was a veteran or the Indian Wars and the Mexican War. Promoted to Captain in 1836 he fought in the Seminole Wars in Florida from 1839-1852. He was promoted to Major in the Mexican War for "gallant and distinguished conduct" in the defense of Fort Brown Texas. He fought at Monterrey and the Siege of Veracruz after which he was appointed Brevet Lieut. Col. for "gallant and meritorious conduct in the several conflicts at Monterrey Mexico." During the Civil War he was given command of the U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry where his garrison held Confederate General Lee's supply line through the Shenandoah Valley. Despite a gallant war record he ended his life in infamy. He was killed in battle in September 1862 after having foolishly positioned his troops. Wikipedia writes "Some historians have concluded that Miles was struck by artillery deliberately fired by his own men but there is no conclusive proof. The resulting surrender of 12419 men was the largest number of U.S. soldiers surrendered until the Battle of Bataan in World War II. The court of inquiry into the surrender denounced Miles for "incapacity amounting to almost imbecility."<br /> Albert Maxwell Hunter 1833-1911 of Adams County Pennsylvania enlisted with Co.

‎[Native Americans]: [World War II]‎

‎Propaganda Poster Encouraging Native American Support for the War Effort Through the Purchase of War Bonds Produced by Three Native American Artists Attending the U.S. Indian School in Santa Fe‎

‎Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1942. Very good. Color lithographed poster 24 x 38 inches. Old folds light wear minor soiling. Three patriotic propaganda posters on a single sheet produced to encourage the purchase of war bonds during the Second World War featuring Native American themes and created by Native American students. Dotted trim lines are printed and labeled around each of the three posters which were designed to be cut out separately. The top left poster shows a Native American warrior sending up a smoke signal which reads out "BUY WAR BONDS!" The upper right shows a native warrior with a tomahawk juxtaposed against two P-40 "Warhawk" or "Tomahawk" fighter planes under a title reading "MORE TOMAHAWKS for OUR UNITED WARRIORS" and encouraging the purchase of war bonds. The poster at bottom shows three Native American children and their pinto-patterned horse bringing their savings to an adobe-style post office which is decorated with a poster encouraging patrons to buy war bonds. <br /> <br /> The illustrated posters are supplemented with patriotic text at top which reads in part: "The three posters on this page were made by boys who see America as the home their people have had always. They share it with us now and they see the war as their fight - to be fought with their ancient courage and cunning but by modern methods.Ben Quintana Ha-aTee and Eva Mirabal Eah-Ha-Wa who painted the smoke-signal poster and Charles Presbetonesqua who painted the 'Tomahawk' poster are all students at the United States Indian School in Santa Fe New Mexico." <br /> <br /> Harder to find than most other propaganda posters related to the Second World War with only a dozen institutional holdings.

‎[Border War]: Fuson, Merritt H‎

‎Souvenir. A Rabid Rookie's Rhymes. The Experiences Opinions and Imaginations of a Nebraska Rookie on the Mexican Border wrapper title‎

‎N.p. possibly Brownsville Tx 1916. Very good. 111pp. Original tan printed wrappers stapled. Wrappers soiled partially split along spine penciled ownership signature on front cover. Light creasing occasional minor foxing to text. An unrecorded collection of poetry by First Sergeant Merritt H. Fuson of the 5th Nebraska Infantry capturing military life during the U.S.-Mexico Border War in 1916-1917. Sergeant Fuson's poems begin with "A Rookie's Prayer" and generally describe the incessant drilling and preparations for battle in southern Texas. One of the poems was given to Fuson before he left home and one other poem is credited to a "Minnesota artilleryman name unknown" but the remainder of the poems appear to be authored by Fuson himself. Fuson's poem "War Is Hell" particularly encapsulates the difficulties of military camp life during his service but does not capture the horrors of war which Fuson apparently never experienced. Fuson does express his desire to return home to Nebraska in at least two poems and his homesickness comes through in others in passages such as "Sing a song of Texas Drill and sweat and dig One Nebraska soldier Dirty as a pig." The 5th Nebraska Infantry had a short and uneventful stay in Llano Grande outside Mercedes in the McAllen-Brownsville region of south Texas. They arrived in July 1916 and drilled and camped until returning to Nebraska in February 1917. An interesting collection of wartime poetry by a young Nebraska man serving in the Texas-Mexico borderlands. No copies in OCLC auction records or any other sources we consulted. unknown‎

‎[THE GREAT TURKISH WAR].‎

‎Traduction d'un exemplaire en langue Turque contenant le detail & la description des processions des jeunes & des penitences que le grand seigneur dit Mahomet Soliman Empereur Turk du soleil levant & du couchant souverain seigneur des seigneurs & veritable successeur de la race du grand prophete Mahomet a commandé de faire en tout son empire.‎

‎Bordeaux: Pierre Abegou 1687. Marbled wrappers. 4to. With an inserted latter engraved frontispiece portrait of the Polish King Jan III Sobieski engraved by F. Jollain. Very rare pamphlet published during the European wars against Turkey with a frontispiece portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Léopold I 1640-1705 Archduke of Austria and King of Bohemia and Hungary. He succeeded his father Ferdinand III in 1657 and immediately had to fight against the Turks in the Great Turkish War also known as the War of the Holy League 1683-1699. This war finally led to the Peace of Karlowitz in 1699.This work gives directions and arrangements for ritual processions that the Turkish Sultan Suleiman III ordered after his victories during the so-called Holy Wars against the Christians. It is of great importance for our understanding of the problematic Turkish-European relations during the 17th century especially as an interesting example of counter-propaganda. One of Suleiman III’s directions presented in the book for example ordered that one Christian slave or one Jew was to be killed every fifteen minutes as part of the procession. One can imagine the reaction of a Christian reading this text: although the crusades were over this could provoke war and violence between the parties.Wrappers worn and somewhat frayed a few worm holes but still in good condition.l Bibliotheca bibliographica Aureliana CX XVIIe siècle XIV Bordeaux 2176 not mentioning the portrait; cf. Desgraves Bordeaux 1580. Pierre Abegou, unknown‎
