‎[Vietnam War Photographica]‎

‎ANNOTATED VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM CAPTURING TEN MONTHS ON VARIOUS AMERICAN AIR FORCE BASES DURING THE VIETNAM WAR‎

‎Biên Hòa Nha Trang Long Binh and other locations in Vietnam plus Luzon Philippines and Osan South Korea October 1969 to August 1970. 469 black-and-white or color photographs measuring between 3½ x 3½ inches and 8 x 10 inches either mounted or laid-in to acetate sleeves almost all annotated in ink on the bottom margin or on the verso. Contemporary three-ring thick quarto-size binder black cloth over boards. Joints partially split some abrading and dust-soiling to covers. Slight fading to some of the color photos. Overall very good. An exceptional vernacular photograph album by a talented but unknown amateur photographer recording a wide variety of experiences on American Air Force bases in South Vietnam and Asia during peak years of the Vietnam War.</p> <p>The photographer was likely a member of the motor pool or a mechanic as the shots seem to center around truck airplane and helicopter maintenance. Most of the photographs capture scenes on or around the various bases with shots both inside and outside of barracks airplanes including several shots of a U2 spy plane bombed-out equipment and numerous photos of the people and structures in the "Vietnamese Area." A few images capture distant shots of the aftermath of a "rocket attack" on December 12 1969; shortly thereafter the photographer and his friends celebrate Christmas. Some of the more interesting photographs during the photographer's time in Vietnam include "VC Prisoners" "Group of Zips" "Papa-San Working His Rice Paddie" "Vietnamese Guard Tower" "Church on the West Side of Biên Hòa" "Refueling at Phan Rang Run" "Bring the Wounded Out" and several pictures labeled "Buddha Hill" likely the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang. Notably and for no obvious reason in two separate images the photographer snaps a picture in a magazine of the famous photograph of Thích Quang Duc the monk who burned himself alive at a busy intersection in Saigon in 1963. Several times the photographer takes a picture of another picture an interesting practice in the context of so many original photographs.</p> <p>A handful of images of the photographer himself can be seen in the album. In a couple of shots he is posed with his pet lizard. Later he and his fellow soldiers adopt a pet monkey who features in several photographs. There are also a healthy amount of aerial images featuring the South Vietnamese landscape notably rice fields villages rivers "bomb craters" and cities among other locations. Also the photographer identifies dozens of fellow soldiers by name throughout the album in both single portraits and in group photos.</p> <p>The album contains numerous shots both black-and-white and in color taken from the crowd and later on the runway during a December 28 1969 U.S.O. show at Long Binh with several images each of Bob Hope Neil Armstrong Connie Stevens Suzanne Charny Teresa Graves Les Brown the Golddiggers and others. One photograph of Neil Armstrong is captioned "Biggest Hit of the Show." This is understandable given the fact that Armstrong landed on the moon just five months before this U.S.O. show. There is also an 8 x 10 photograph of Connie Stevens inscribed to "Ron" either the photographer's first name or an autographed picture he received from a friend. After the U.S.O. show the photographer snaps several closer shots of Bob Hope Connie Stevens and others climbing into cars to leave.</p> <p>In April or May 1970 the photographer was shipped out to Osan Air Base in South Korea. Along the way he spends a couple of days at Clark Air Base in Luzon in the Philippines where he snaps a few shots of the base. By early May he has arrived at the Osan Air Base near Songtan Station in the city of Pyeongtaek South Korea just south of Seoul. He seems to be happy with his appointment at Osan; he captions one photograph "Home Sweet Home" and a few shots of the countryside as "Paradise." Here he also photographs Korean farmers their families villages a marketplace a church a school and other landmarks. The final two images dated in August 1970 show the photographer on an airboat on an unidentified Korean river.</p> <p>Personal photographic records by soldiers in Vietnam are growing ever more scarce in the market. This collection is one of the best we've encountered and most certainly informs the overall record of the war during perhaps its lowest point of public support. hardcover‎

‎REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR‎

‎U.S. Printing Office. 38th Congress. 1st Session. Rpt. No. 65 1864 Description: Two reports in one volume. pp. 128; 38 8 p. of illustrations showing emaciated white soldiers with identifications and details. 8vo. 230 mm. Original full cloth binding. XLib. "On April 12 1864 some 3000 rebels under the command of Nathan Bedford Forrest overran Fort Pillow a former Confederate stronghold situated on a bluff on the Tennessee bank of the Mississippi some 40 miles north of Memphis. The garrison consisted of about 600 Union soldiers roughly evenly divided between runaway slaves-turned-artillerists from nearby Tennessee communities and white Southern Unionist cavalry mostly from East Tennessee. Under a flag of truce which his men violated by creeping up on the fort Forrest demanded the garrison's surrender threatening that if it refused he would not be responsible for the actions of his men. Believing Forrest was bluffing Bradford refused whereupon the Confederates swarmed over the parapet. The overwhelmed garrison fled down the bluff to the river where they were caught in a deadly crossfire. Forrest's men continued to shoot well after the Federals had thrown down their weapons and many men were killed in hospital tents or as they begged for mercy. By the next morning only about 65 blacks had survived a massacre that had continued intermittently through the night. More than seventy percent of the white survivors would perish in rebel prisons. The Confederates lost about 18 killed. Northern Radicals seized on the massacre to inflame a wavering Northern public. Though Forrest initially described the river as "dyed with the blood of the slaughtered for 200 yards" and his field commander bragged that his men had taught "the mongrel garrison" a memorable lesson Forrest and his staff later either denied there was a massacre or blamed it on the garrison itself." - From Black Past W21 / YORK HS Language: eng.

Edited by the great 'Republican' Thomas Hollis with additions and corrections by Joseph Robertson this edition includes: Memoirs of the Life of Algernon Sydney; Discourses Concerning Government; Letters of Algernon Sydney taken from Thurloe's State Papers; The Protector's Advice to Algernon Sydney; Letters of Algernon Sydney taken from the Sydney papers; Letters of A. Sydney to Henry Savile Ambassador in France; The Trial of A. Sydney; The Apology of A. Sydney in the Day of his Death; and A General view of Government in Europe. This is an important book in the history of the ideas that founded the American republic but what is perhaps most interesting about this copy are the manuscript notes and annotations written in a careful small hand in America during the Civil War 1863. A few of these struck our eye and we're glad to reproduce a few selections here: "I have lately undertaking to read Algernon Sydney on government. There is great difference in reading a book at four and twenty and at eighty eight. As often as I have read it and fumbled it over it now excites fresh admiration that this work has excited so little interest in the literary world. As splendid an edition of it as the art of printing can produce as well as for the intrinsic merits of the work as for the proof it brings of the bitter sufferings of the advocates of liberty from that time to this and to show the slow progress of moral philosophical political illumination in the world ought to now be published in America" - John Adams to Thomas Jefferson 17 September 1823. ".the danger in America. arises from 1 the indifference of the people to the character of their deputies; 2 the disinclination of good men to go as deputies; 3 and the inclination of bad men to go as such. The rottenness of our law making bodies has reached such a point that if it shall not soon be cured it can not longer endure." - 1863. "Among the causes which have brought the USA to their present unhappy condition may be reckoned as a leading one the predominance in their councils of mere municipal lawyers. The low morals and the crass ignorance of these are not equal to the work of government filched by them from a blindly confiding people. A profession proverbially selfish and dishonest can not produce statesmen however fecund it may be of politicians. The conduct of government is the work of statesmen - of unselfish honest high-hearted great-minded men = that class has disappeared and has given way to small country lawyers whose minds exercise only upon petty squabbles of the neighborhood incapable of grasping the vast concerns of a nation. Bad as this is there is something worse. and that is that the profession of the law is every year sinking lower in ignorance and in contempt while at the same time it is rising in power." - 1863. These manuscript annotations make this copy UNIQUE and very worthy of further study. W150. PRICE JUST REDUCED! Language: eng. Hardcover. Very Good. Printed by W. Strahan Jun. for T.
