Prior to World War I the American Red Cross was a small organization still in the process of developing its programs and identity. The War spurred a significant period of growth for the organization transforming it into a major national humanitarian organization by the end of 1918. This poster was published in 1918 by the War Council of the Red Cross a short-lived special unit created by President Wilson in 1917 for the specific purpose of directing the organization's war effort. It provided the American public with detailed information regarding the extent and cost of various Red Cross programs in France aimed at refugee relief rebuilding and hospital construction for the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.

Album World War One BEAUFORT JM. DE JACQUES ALBERT UILENBROEK. J. M.
EXTRAORDINARY WORLD WAR I ALBUM OF THE BELGIAN FRONT.
Album 60 pp recto and verso "Autographs and Sketches" stamped in gilt to front cover with approx. 35 gelatin silver prints laid in and letters maps diagrams postcards and foreign press clippings tipped in label "J.M. de Beaufort / Author Soldier War Correspondent late with the Belgian Army" attached to front cover de Beaufort's business card taped to inner front cover photographs laid in to front and back covers. Many pages loose or stained some loss to three leaves edgewear and toning throughout. Covers worn with tape remnants. Sold as is. <br/><br/>J.M. de Beaufort was a war correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph and New York American attached to the Belgian Army during World War I. De Beaufort described his wartime experiences in his 1917 book Behind the German Veil: A Record of a Journalistic War Pilgrimage. In this journal's inner front cover de Beaufort wrote: "Never to be forgotten of my days with the Belgian Army 1914-1915 J.M. de Beaufort". The journal is written and drawn in various hands and languages and mainly involves the areas around Furnes in Belgium circa October-December 1914. At that point the Belgian Army had only recently entered the war and was being routed by the German Army's superior numbers. Belgium's high command cleverly devised a plan to flood the vicinity of Furnes to keep the Germans at bay. There are several fairly detailed hand-drawn diagrams in pen colored pencil and pencil of the flooding plan. The photographs in the journal mainly depict Belgian and French soldiers; de Beaufort is visible in several. One image shows two unexploded bombs with "aeroplane bombs" written on its verso in pencil beside de Beaufort's note about how they landed close to his room in Furnes. Other photographs show bombed-out buildings. There are cartoonsmostly anti-Germandrawn at various points throughout. De Beaufort also known as Count de Beaufort was quite an elusive figure. His real name was Uilenbroek and he was a Dutchman thought to have been a deserter. He came to Chicago in 1909 married a steel magnate's daughter and entered show business. By 1912 he was divorced and took up newspaper work; he became known as the "Dude Reporter." See American Cinematographers in the Great War 1914-1918 2015. unknown books

WORLD WAR I EPHEMERA AIRCRAFT
Silhouettes dAvions. Illustrated manuscript on paper in French With: French World War I Colonels Ledger an autograph note c. 1899-1904 and transcribed letters of 1914 from a certain E. Henry while stationed in Lorraine
France early 20th century. WWI ephemera -- aircraft. Silhouettes d'Avions Illustrated manuscript on paper in French. France: c. 1915-1925. 16 leaves pocket-sized: 135 x100mm. 15 hand- colored illustrations depicting three views of planes; two in profile and one birds eye view all are labeled for early French English and German aircraft models. Original paper wrappers titled Silhouettes dAvions with later tape reinforcing hinge; somewhat brittle leaves loose but present. This skillful manuscript perhaps created by a younger person as an admirer of the craft represents sixteen popular models of biplane and monoplane patterns. This interesting piece of ephemera is inextricably linked to the three great European production centers of World War I-era aircraft: representing France England and Germany. World War I was the first walrus in which aircraft were deployed on a large scale. The sky had become another battlefield no less important than the battlefields of land and sea. Initially planes were used mostly for reconnaissance over the North Sea and strategic bombing raids. Then at the onset of war pilots and engineers learned from experience and developed many specialized models; including fighters bombers and ground-attack airplanes. These evolving flying machines were recognized to be not just toys but weapons. In addition fighter pilots were venerated as modern knights and many became popular heroes. All well represented are the French military aviation exercises of 1911 through 1913 that pioneered production of the Farman Caudron Voisin Breguet Nieuport fighter models. Listed for both French and English aircraft are the Bleriot and Morane models. England had started late and had initially relied largely on the French aircraft industry especially for engines. The English planes represented here are the Airco B.E. 2 and Vickers models. Notably the British Vickers was the first experimenting with mounting machine guns. Perhaps best represented by the whimsical drawings are the German planes of the variant Taube models including the Albatros Aviatik D.F.W. Jeannin Stahltaube and Rumpler Taube. The Rumpler Taube was a pre-World War I monoplane aircraft. It was the first mass-produced military plane in Germany and was the most common having two seats. Imperial Germanys first practical military aircraft the Taube dove was used for virtually all military aircraft applications as a fighter bomber surveillance aircraft and trainer from 1910 until the start of World War I in August 1914. At least five versions of the Taube models are named and illustrated in this contemporary manuscript model book. With: French World War I Colonels Ledger an autograph note c. 1899-1904 and transcribed letters of 1914 from a certain E. Henry while stationed in Lorraine. Manuscript booklet on graph paper written in pencil in French 165 x 110mm. France: Sept.-Oct. 1918. Original blue wrappers with paper label no. 10. 15 leaves. Text consists of dated entries with brief daily descriptions of regiment activities one poignant line translated beaucoup du cadavres sur le terrain many corpses on the ground. Laid-in is 1 page autograph note listing eight men their death dates and a brief biographical description stained at edges and 4 page autograph manuscript signed E. Henry to Ma cherie femme of three different letters transcribed and docketed by the wife of Henry. Letters all dated August 1914 with content updating his wife on his news while stationed in Lorraine. He writes on 27th August 1914 translated You cannot imagine the suffering I endured at my unfortunate wounds
and goes on about his Lieutenants death although Henry finally says Je suis en bonne posture Im in good shape. Madame Henry seemingly transcribed the letters on to one large folding bifolia to maintain their content. Interesting pieces of World War I era ephemera consisting of personal reflections and unofficial recordings of military operations in French regiments. <br/><br/> unknown books

Smallest 4" x 2-3/4"; largest 6-13/16" x 3-1/2". Most ~5" x 3-1/4" <br/><br/>An archive of ten Civil War and Reconstruction era manuscript diaries kept by Myron E. Rose a Democrat from Champion New York whose political views during the war coincided most strongly with those of the Peace Democrats or “Copperheads.” Although Rose never self-identifies as such only as a staunch Democrat he voted for Horatio Seymour in the 1862 election for NY governor makes no secret of his loathing for abolitionists lauds the possibility of Lincoln’s capture by Confederate troops and resents a war fought to “free the n----- — it takes more men than there were negroes what works” July 19 1864. His diaries offer a near-daily if often terse portrayal of the experience of a Northern Democrat during and after the Civil War including not only notes on the progress of the war drafts and draft riots local and national politics and the deaths of friends and fellow townsfolk but also his move to Iowa following the war and efforts to homestead there his life back in Champion after the death of his wife his attendance at Spiritualist meetings and disdain for Adventists readings and his many jobs social life successes and lack thereof with women book purchases accounting and more. The diaries begin in 1859 when Rose was a 25-year-old new schoolteacher still working toward getting his teaching certificate doing a variety of additional odd jobs and seemingly more interested in dating the local women than in national events: “Went home with Cor. Hormer and went in she gave me an introduction to ‘for the cool’ confound her” Oct. 21 1859. He notes the 1860 election the next year — “Election day . . . S. A. Douglas Dem A. Lincoln Rep Bell Union Breakenridge Administration seceders. Morgan Gov Rep Kelly Dem. Quite an exciting day. . . . Lincoln Elected” Nov. 6 - 7 1860 — and mentions that one Mr. Winslow a Democrat was elected School Commissioner suggesting that there was perhaps a small concentration of Democrats in the Champion area. By 1862 the war has started to impact him: “Have been roof-boarding. Some towns will have to draft it is expected. A good many have gone to Canada. The war begins to affect sic us here now” Aug 26 1862. That November Rose notes that there has not been “a great turn out at the polls. Will be a close rub voted for Seymour” Nov 4 1862. The next year he comments: “The war progresses about the same turning out the Generals and putting in new ones &c &c. The rebels will gain their independence I guess and that by d___d Republican mismanagement” Feb 9 1863. Shortly thereafter he learns that his brother Arthur “is proclaimed a deserter”: “Harnessed up my colt single and put him on my cutter drove him down to Tylersville. John went down with me saw quite a number there Arthur also. Willard is dead died in hospital of consumption so his Captain wrote . . . Snows P. M. Arthur feels very bad” March 11 1863. In July 1863 Rose reports on the New York City draft riots : “A great riot in N.Y. City on acct. of drafting no call for men but they are giving orders for drafting by number of men a mean miserable proceeding a good many killed and a good deal of property destroyed” July 18 1863 and the next day that “the draft is postponed for the present. I am most afraid that there will be hard times all over” July 19 1863. Nevertheless he places the cause entirely on the Republican party: “A good deal of excitement in Wtn Washington so Warren says. If there are riots & murder & robbing it is the teachings of the Abolition Republican party for they have trampled the Constitution underfoot in more ways than one” July 21 1863. Rose’s views about the Republicans and “shrieking Abolitionists” never waver though he seems to relish debating politics and feels he’s a good ideological counterbalance. Nevertheless as the following passages indicate he remained strictly antiwar/ anti-Republican: - “News to night Greely & old Lincoln’s sec. have been to see Geo. Sanders & others in Canada all rebels and should go over the falls together.” July 21 1864 - “News that Atlanta is taken. I don’t care how soon they wind up the rebels and then return to something else.” Sept 3 1864 - “Staid to Mr. Knowls’s talked politics. He says that we have a king now and that it is all right — is for it until peace is obtained. He is not fit for a republic.” November 17 1864 In a curious precursor to modern politics Rose even notes that “Ohio Penn & Indiana hold their election today. As they go so goes the election next month” Oct. 11 1864. Rose makes little mention of politics after the war and in 1866 moved with his wife and his brother Arthur and his wife to Iowa where they bought 160 acres of land possibly utilizing provisions of the Homestead Act of 1862 cleared it built a house and farmed for approximately 6 years. Research indicates that Rose’s wife and newborn child died in 1872 and that he moved back to Champion shortly thereafter; aside from 1866 the diaries from these years are absent. Rose seems to have continued teaching school both in Iowa and upon his return to New York and also remarried started a cheesemaking business and attended Spiritualist meetings back in Champion as well. All in all a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a Northern Democrat during the Civil War. hardcover books

Civil War / Confederacy / Education. Hinton Presley Lewellyn Jr. Student
CIVIL WAR - ERA MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOK1858 - 1892. Containing Unrelated Writings by Several Members of the Hinton Family of Mecklenburg Virginia
Mecklenburg VA 1892. Sewn gatherings disbound with remanants of perished leather spine. Wear and soiling throughout; some chips occasionally causing minimal textual loss; last leaf quite ragged to inner margin significantly affecting final third of text. Writing in general legible and neat. Good condition withal. 29 leaves of lined wove paper including 4 half-leaves. Lacking first leaf pp 1 - 2 of lecture notes; 4 stubs. Inconsistently hand-numbered throughout.Manuscript notes in ink and/or pencil to recto and verso of leaves with varying amounts of writing per pg. ~1500 words. Some intratextual hand-drawn illustrations and graphs to lecture notes. 11-1/2" x 7-1/2" <br/><br/>A notebook that appears to have been intended for lecture notes kept by Presley Llewellyn Hinton Jr. during a science class at Randolph-Macon College from 1858 - 59 but that was employed for several different purposes by other members of his family during the same period and throughout the Civil War. The Hintons were slaveholders owning at least 13 slaves according to the 1860 slave schedule and longtime prominent members of the community. The lecture notes which comprise hand-numbered pp 3 - 30 and 51 - 55 are from lectures taught by B. Puryear Professor of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy; subjects covered include fairly introductory material regarding dew evaporation electricity elements of chemistry hydrogen and nitrogen gas carbon etc. and the like. Following the first section of lecture notes three pages by one of the Hinton parents we speculate Mrs. Hinton detail Presley’s service in the Confederate Army Company A 3rd Virginia Cavalry as well as that of his brother William from 1861 - 63 largely their leave-taking and visits home: “My Son William Emmet Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 14th day May 1861 to join his company Mecklinburg Cavalry at Lockets Store near Lombardy Grove. Many relatives and friends met . . . to take leave of their dear sons relations & friends who consented with cheerfulness to leave their quiet and happy homes to battle against our enemy the Yankee who are worse than Indian savages Yea to go through all the hardships privations difficulties and attending a camp life. . . . My Son Presley Lewellyn Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 26th day May 1861 . . . He would have gone on with his brother William but he was not prepared as he had just returned from the University of Virginia . . .” Approximately 15 remaining pages interrupted by the last section of Presley’s lecture notes are filled with a detailed account record of tuition charged for teaching the daughters and some sons of local families which we speculate was kept by the boys’ sister primarily because of the type of lessons taught. These included piano lessons worsted work and samplers grammar arithmetic geography the history of England and philosophy; fees for ink copy books and other supplies are also included. Another account record follows for bonds of some sort in the same hand as other and a love letter from Presley to a Miss Annie fills both recto and verso of the final leaf. Interspersed with these and sometimes written over top in pencil are the youthful scribblings and pencilled math work of James H. Palmer also of Mecklinberg dated 1892; he appears to have used the manuscript for scrap paper. All in all a uniquely faceted manuscript illustrating many aspects of the life of one Virginia family during the Civil War as well as the paper shortages that likely occasioned such thrift. hardcover books
