DIY Cultures and Underground Music Scenes
Routledge Taylor & Francis. Hardcover. Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. This volume examines the global influence and impact of DIY cultural practice as this informs the production performance and consumption of underground music in different parts of the world. The book brings together a series of original studies of DIY musical activities in Europe North and South America Asia and Oceania. The chapters combine insights from established academic writers with the work of younger scholars some of whom are directly engaged in contemporary underground music scenes. The book begins by revisiting and re-evaluating key themes and issues that have been used in studying the cultural meaning of alternative and underground music scenes notably aspects of space place and identity and the political economy of DIY cultural practice. The book then explores how the DIY cultural practices that characterize alternative and underground music scenes have been impacted and influenced by technological change notably the emergence of digital media. Finally in acknowledging the over 40-year history of DIY cultural practice in punk and post-punk contexts the book considers how DIY cultures have become embedded in cultural memory and the emotional geographies of place.

Civil War Double EagleTraveling Inkwell
Civil War Soldier Writing Equipment Traveling Inkwell with Double Eagle Emblem from the Era of Wartime Correspondence circa 1860s
1960. Civil War Antique Traveling Inkwell. The Inkwell measures 2" in diameter by 1 ½" tall and is marked on the inside lid with a double Eagle Head. Civil War traveling inkwell circa 1860s documenting the portable writing tools used by soldiers officers and civilians during the period when written correspondence served as the principal means of communication between military camps and the home front. Letter writing played a central role in the daily life of Civil War participants providing a record of military experiences and maintaining family connections across long distances. Portable inkwells such as this example allowed writers to carry ink securely while traveling or serving in the field enabling soldiers and officers to prepare reports personal letters and official communications under campaign conditions.<br /> <br /> Portable traveling inkwell with screw top lid designed to prevent ink leakage during transport. The interior of the lid bears a double eagle device a symbol widely associated with the United States and commonly used in decorative and patriotic motifs during the nineteenth century. The compact cylindrical form allowed the container to be carried easily in a pocket or writing kit alongside dip pens and paper. Such inkwells were practical accessories for individuals who relied on handwritten correspondence during travel or military service.<br /> <br /> During the Civil War era portable writing equipment formed an essential part of everyday military life. Soldiers frequently wrote letters home describing camp conditions battles and personal experiences while officers relied on written communication to transmit orders and reports. Writing sets and traveling inkwells therefore became common items carried in personal kits throughout the war. Surviving examples provide material evidence of the communication practices that produced the vast body of Civil War letters preserved in historical archives. The inkwell measures approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1½ inches tall. Minor surface wear consistent with age and handling; overall condition very good. A compact artifact associated with the culture of Civil War correspondence and field writing. unknown

[Japanese American Internment]: [War Relocation Authority]: [Idaho]: Rawlings, WE W E
Memoranda Containing Instructions for Final Reports on the Minidoka Internment Camp Following Its Closure
Hunt ID: November 1 1945. 4pp. mimeographed text on tall folio sheets stapled at top left. Old folds light wear two holes punched in top margin. Very good. An informative document written by W.E. Rawlings the Project Director at the Minidoka Internment Camp in Idaho providing guidelines instructions pointers and so forth to staff members preparing final statistical functional and personal narrative reports. The camp closed a few days before this memo was written and final reports were prepared to provide "outside groups both public and private" about "the unique work of the WRA." Rawlings' advice here includes suggestions to refer back to monthly reports consult the "evacuee newspaper 'The Minidoka Irrigator'" confer with longtime employees at the camp and much more. He also suggests methods for addressing questions such as "If You Aren't Sure Washington Will Understand About Mistakes" "If You Are Unsure How Far to Go on Opinion in Personal Narratives" "If You Wonder How 'Personal' Your Personal Narrative Should Be" and so forth. Rawlings advises staff that reports need not be illustrated with photographs or they should be kept to a minimum given that the Denver Photo Unit was overworked at the present moment. In the end Rawlings stipulates that reports should be "clear reasonably complete and factually correct." A fairly sterile document considering the nature of the experiences on which the staff was reporting. November 1 unknown

[Texas]. [World War II]
Manuscript Friendship Album of a German Prisoner of War in Texas During World War II
<p>Huntsville Tx 1945. Very good. 84pp. Primarily in German. Quarto. Brown cloth album with leather corners and snap closure. Manuscript initials on front cover. Corners lightly worn. Contents evenly toned. A rare friendship album kept by Franz Kozian a German prisoner of war at the POW camp in Huntsville Texas. The album contains over seventy-five entries from fellow incarcerated soldiers all of them lengthier than just an autograph. Many of them include lengthy expressions of friendship or quotations from famous German-language authors such as one that copies out the text of Rilke's poem "Herbst" "Autumn" with the illustration of a tree with falling red leaves. Most of the entries also include details of the internees' home towns and other camps they've been in. At the end of the album is a detailed list of fellow prisoners with their home addresses. By the end of World War II there were over 425000 enemy prisoners on U.S. soil and Texas had twice as many POW camps as any other state due to space and climate. The Geneva Convention specifies that prisoners must be kept in a climate similar to that of where they were captured and Texas was considered similar to northern Africa resulting in a serious influx. The present item seems to be a relatively unusual survival from the POW camps and is quite detailed in its contents. A valuable research tool for this unusual chapter of American military history.</p>

Jones, Isabel [or, less likely, Grace], apparently a Nurse in the Union Army during the Civil War
Autograph Letter Signed. dated September 28 1862
1862. Poor. 20 cm x 25 cm single sheet folded to make 4 handwritten pages. Large patriotic color Illustration of a bald eagle with 2 U.S. flags occupies top third of first page of stationery. Two horizontal fold mark. Split halfway across on a fold on the last two pages. Pinkish color to much of the letter suggesting old damping. Ink quite faded and generally difficult to read. Many words are so indistinct that it was impossible for us to read them and some other words or phrases are just gone. Her letter is addressed to an otherwise unidentified cousin. Jones does not seem to show on standard lists of Civil War Nurses but the information in this letter suggests that she should. Here is our effort to transcribe this difficult-to-decipher letter: "Your letter of the 21st came to hand in due time but I had about made my mind that you was not going to write to me. I was glad to hear from you and hope that you will not fail to write again. I am well. Hoping you enjoy the same good blessing. We are situated on the same ground we occupied a part of last Fall and Winter. We have been here about four weeks. After spending the summer on the peninsula we are very glad to obtain old ground which seems almost like home. You want to know why I am in the hospital. It is not because I am sick but because others are sick and need care. I am what is termed nurse. My wages are $26.50 per month. The business is by no means delightful but I get along very well. We have got one fellow who is very sick I fear he will not recover. On the Peninsula my health became very poor but now I am well. I wish that I could hear that Grandmother is on the gain but fear I never shall. Tell hear I think of her nearly all of the time and and want to see but if I fail to see her I expect to see her in Heaven. I have wrote to your father. I presume he has received my last letter before now. I do not know that I can tell you anything about the war that would amount to anything more than you already know. As we are at present we are retired from the active field I am not as well posted as when we were aamid the turmoils of battle. I have not heard a battle sound since we came across the river. Apparently all seems quiet which seems good. top two lines at top of 4th page too indistinct to decipher My hospital service is every other day. Every other day and night. I have to work taking care of the sick of our regiment then I am idle twenty-four hours. . several lines gone or indistinct here and the I will have a chance to eat army rations wear army cloths and a few moremostly indistinct lines ." She ends the letter by requesting that her cousin write to her at Hospital 50th NY Engineer Regiment Washington D.C. Online information reports that the regiment composed mostly of men from New York and a small number from Pennsylvania lost by death 10 killed in action 7 from wounds received and 214 from disease and other causes. unknown

US War Department Adjutant General's Office U S
General Orders No. 187
Washington: Adjutant General's Office 1863. Very Good. Small broadsheet. 13 x 19 cm. Dated June 24 1863. Court Martial of First Lieutenant Thomas C. Baldwin 7th Iowa Volunteers for two counts of drunkenness and a third count of "taking "a negro wench into his tent took her in bed with him and lay with her until nearly midnight with his tent doors open." Baldwin plead guilty to all three counts and was sentenced to be dismissed from the service. The proceedings were then forwarded to President Lincoln for review. The record was found defective in not showing that the court was properly organized but since Baldwin admitted his guilt of "a most gross and debasing offence" the President directed that Baldwin be dismissed from the service.

United States War Department Military Intelligence Division
Photo Interpreter's Guide to Japanese Installations
Washington: Military Intelligence Division 1945. Hardcover. Very Good. photos around 140 pages but no overall numbering of pages other than within each of the fifteen sections Original flexible notebook with openable metal comb binding. 27 cm. Modest tear at bottom of front cover. Restricted classification crossed out on title-page which also has a 1946 "Classification canceled" stamp. This was created as a looseleaf item so that sections could be added to or revised as needed. The publication date of this item was the day before the Japanese signed the formal surrender documents abord the USS Missouri so we doubt that it was ever revised.
