(Mexican War) [Pillow, Gideon J]
Defence of Major Gen. Pillow before the Court of Inquiry at Frederick Maryland against the charges preferred against him by Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott
Np 1848. First and only edition. 64pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Publisher's brown wrappers stained and toned. Internally very good. First and only edition. 64pp. 1 vols. 8vo. General Winfield Scott charged Pillow with the authorship of a pseudonymously signed letter - the so-called Leonidas Letter - published in the NEW ORLEANS DAILY DELTA on Sept. 10 1847 in which Pillow's military activities at Contreras and Churubusco were applauded and those of Gen. Scott were belittled. The two quarreled violently and two successive courts of inquiry decided that no action should be taken against Pillow. The present pamphlet defends Pillow's position.

1885-1887 correspondence sent to the Philadelphia Weekly Press regarding publication of Pennsylvania Volunteers experiences during the Civil War
Philadelphia: n/p 1887. Letters. Good. Letters. Lot of 10 letters possibly disbound from a larger collection. These letters were written in response to requested articles by the Editor of the Philadelphia Weekly Press. Letters written on good paper are pasted down on brown paper that is fragile with small edge tears and chips. Later short abbreviated notes written in pencil on the letters. Content of the replies are varied and provide additional primary source information and insights for the Editor of the Weekly Press. Contents are mostly legible. A summary of the letters follows:<br /> <br /> First letter is dated December 12 1885 and signed by William E. Miller. The letter is one page and written on his hardware store letterhead in Carlisle Pennsylvania. Letter reads: . "After writing you this afternoon I called upon Col. Sharp and told him What I done - the Col. replied that he the article without a view to its publication but of it was desired he would not object he says the article covers 32 pages of legal of words to a line - 21 pages are descriptive of the battle and its incidents and the last 11 pages are made of reminiscences of officers in Command of Regiments the battery the squadron of Calvary and the Commanders of Brigade and Division Commanders all of whom are dead though the article is in two parts he would object to it being printed separately. Very truly signed Wm. E. Bell To Editor of Weekly Press."<br /> <br /> Second letter is one page and dated Dec. 28th 1885. The correspondence is written on "Humboldt Safe Deposit & Trust Co" letterhead and signed by John C. Hilton at the bottom. Hilton writes the editor "In the matter of writing a history of the 145th P.V. during the battle of Gettysburg I must inform you I hardly feel competent to undertake it. The Gen would be the proper person had he been in the action and as for myself I was severely wounded at the time and cannot give as good a discription as one who passed through the engagement unscathed."<br /> <br /> Third letter is one page and a back and correspondence written on the Philadelphia Weekly Press letterhead dated December 31 1885. The editor of the paper requests of W. Hayes Grier "Can you prepare for publication in the weekly press the war article as indicated in a invitation sent to you some months ago If so please indicate when we may expect the manuscript Yours Truly Editor "Weekly Press". W. Hayes Grier response ."I will prepare the article and forward it in February."<br /> <br /> Fourth letter is one page and dated Jan 2d 1886. Correspondence is signed by "Wm. H. Grovinger." Written neatly from "Port Royal Juanita Co.

The letter is signed at the bottom of page 2 by "A M Judson late Capt Co. E. 83 PV". Judson writes I answered the first letter Dec 10 85 stating in substance that in 1865 I wrote & published the "History of the 83d Regt P.V." when all the events therein detailed were fresh in my memory & when I was much more in the humor for description then than & that if the description of the Gettysburg fight there given would suit your purpose you are at liberty to use it." Judson points the editor to getting a copy of his book for the purpose of placing an article in the paper. <br /> <br /> Sixth letter is one page and dated February 11 1886. Letter has a blue ink stamp upper left corner from "J. Merrill Linn Attorney-At-Law Lewisburg Penna" and signed by Linn at the bottom. Linn writes of another regimental officer "Gobins Regiment saved Bancks Army on the Red River - is Pa Reg't took Stone Bridge at Roanoke - A Pa. Reg't captured by assault the first at New Berne.". He also writes "If it won't interfere with Gen Hartranft I would like to write the Battle of New Berne. We planted the old Fourth Pa. Flag first in the earth works."<br /> <br /> Seventh letter is two separate pages written on "D. R. P. Hibbs. Attorney At Law." letterhead in Albert Lea Minn. and dated February 20 1886. Hibbs writes "to the prep of an article for "The Press of the 104" P Vols. in the war I would say that Gen. Davis as an a war hero published a history of the 104" Hibbs is asking to the editor to give some advice on how Hibbs can add more to the unit history. <br /> <br /> Eighth letter is 2 pages long and dated May 17 1886. Written on "J. H. Longnecker Attorney at Law" letterhead and signed by Longnecker at the end. He writes "I rec'd yours of April 29 in regard to writing a sketch of the 101 Pa. Regt. I delayed writing in reply hoping to see you personally in Phila. last week while attending the Supreme Court." Longnecker states that he has other commitments including a Congressional nomination that keeps him from "gathering up facts and writing such a paper."<br /> <br /> Ninth letter is a second letter signed by W. Hayes Grier on "Office of Superintendent of Public Printing. Harrisburg Pa." letterhead and dated January 10 1887. Hayes updates the editor on his delayed article is a result "that I had lost the most important one issued by Gen. Cameron on Dranesville. I wrote to the Sec. of War and asked him to send me a copy giving him the date. Today I received it and I will at once prepare the orders and send them to you with remarks explanatory of each."<br /> <br /> The tenth and final letter in this group is dated May 23 1887. Letter written from Brookline Mass and signed by Theodore Lyman at bottom. The correspondence is very short and written in a shaky hand - "Dear Sir As I joined Gen Meade's staff after Gettysburg it would not be possible for me to write the paper you ask for." Officers that replied the editor's request include Captain William E. Miller. <br /> <br /> From wikipedia: Miller received his country's highest award for bravery during combat the Medal of Honor for actions taken on July 3 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg. While ordered to keep his company stationed on a hill he disobeyed these orders to lead a surprise attack against a Confederate charge. On July 3 Miller was given orders to hold his company "at all hazards"9 in the woods north of the Lott house and assist the 1st New Jersey Cavalry Regiment in repelling Brigadier General Wade Hampton's advance.5 When the enemy brigade advanced Miller noticed a large contingent led by Confederate Brigadier General Fitzhugh Lee threatening to break through a main section of the Union line.8 From his flank position he decided to disobey his orders and attack the Confederate from the side and stated to his adjutants "I have been ordered to hold this position but if you will back me up in case I am court-martialed for disobedience I will order a charge."810 With full company agreement Miller led his men into the flank of the Confederate advance causing confusion among the rebels who believed their retreat path was about to be cut off.9 Because of Miller's surprise attack the Confederate rear line was dispersed511 and the Union line saved.310<br /> <br /> John C. Hilton writes in his letter that he was severely injured in his correspondence. From find a grave dot com - "Case 454. — Captain John C. Hilton Co. K 145th Pennsylvania aged 22 years was wounded at Gettysburg July 2 1863 by a conoidal ball which fractured the right femur in its upper third.

[Civil War] [Confederacy] [3rd Tennessee Cavalry] [Sam Elder] [Thomas Cavender]
1863 hand written contract by which Sam Elder hired Thomas Cavender as a Substitute Soldier to serve in the Confederate Army in his stead
Hamilton County Tennessee: n/a 1863. Document. Good. Document. Folded sheet of paper. 9" x 5". Paper has blue lines and multiple folds. 4 pages with 2 pages of content. Some fading to the ink and light toning to the paper. Chattanooga Tennessee is the seat of Hamilton County. Hand written document transcribed here: "State of Tennessee Hamilton County I Sam Elder of said County and State have this day hired Thomas Cavender as a substitute to serve as a Private in Capt J B Kings company or Capt Lyness for which I agree to pay the said Cavender one thousand dollars in hand & the other thousand dollars to be paid in three months from this date and to be loned at interest for twelve months two years is the time of service I have hired the said Thos Cavender now if the said Cavendar serves faithful as a substitute for the time of two years and at the expiration of that time the said Elder to take his place the one thousand dollars that is to be loned if the said Cavender should desert is to come to me the said Elder given under our hands this 30th day of April 1863 attest Wm Caruthers and Bob Caruthers signed seal S. H. Elder signed seal Thos Cavender." A Confederate soldier who paid another person to take his place is often referred to as a "substitute" soldier. During the American Civil War individuals who were drafted or conscripted into military service had the option to hire a substitute to serve in their place if they could afford it. These substitutes were typically individuals who were either unemployed or seeking financial gain. The practice of hiring substitutes was more prevalent among wealthier individuals who could afford to pay for someone else to take their place in the military.<br /> <br /> The Elder family were pioneers in Tennessee. Some of the family settled in Hamilton County. This excerpt is copied from Chattanoogan dot com: "The children of Robert S. Elder included Samuel Houston Sarah Jane Minerva Jane Robert and James B. Sarah married Thomas Monger a Unionist who was on the County Court. Minerva married James Clifford Allen who fought for the Union and was in the Legislature from Bradley County. Samuel H. was on the Confederate side joining 2nd Co. K of the First CSA Cavalry on Sept. 23 1862. He married Sarah J. White. Their daughter Mary A. married Aaron E. Smith. Samuel H. and his brother Robert had a "store boat'' that made calls at the various river landings and they also had a general store at Snow Hill. Samuel H. was postmaster at Long Savannah. He died in 1910 of a heart attack while walking from Avondale to Snow Hill."<br /> <br /> A record for Benjamin Franklin Cavendar from Hamilton County was found. However no mention of Confederates in Hamilton County for Thomas. Although a "Reader's Comment" from the Chattanoogan dot com states this: CAVENDER Benjamin Franklin Co. B 1TN Cav. Carter's Born 1839 in TN son of Henry Cavender. Farmer in Ooltewah. 1860 HC Census Reader Comment; Henry Cavender by his first wife did have a son named Benjamin S. Cavender b. ca. 1806 in NC living in Hamilton in 1850 but d. March 14 1858 in Dade Co. MO. By his 2nd wife Henry Cavender had a son named Franklin b. ca. 1839 in Hamilton Co. TN. However Henry Cavender relocated with several of his married and unmarried children after the 1860 census but prior to the War to Pitman Randolph Co. AR. In service with nephews in Company A of the 12th Missouri Infantry is Henry's son Francis Marion Cavender and an F.N.C. Cavender who I assume may be Henry's son Franklin. I cannot say for certain since there are no enlistment dates on this post but this Benjamin Cavender may be the son of Henry's son Thomas Cavender who remained in Hamilton Co. Thomas' son Benjamin J. Cavender was b. ca. 1844 in Hamilton Co. relocating after the War to Jeffersonville IN. I would be interested in hearing how the authors pegged this solder as Benjamin Franklin Cavender as Civil War soldiers database only lists him as Benjamin. I regret I cannot say anything more definitive than to cast some doubts. Kendall Sparkman.<br /> <br /> According to a record found in familysearch dot org: Captain J. B. King mentioned in the document was an officer for for Company B of the 1st Regiment Tennessee Cavalry Carter's. This regiment was organized in November 1862 using the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. This company was active in the Vicksburg Campaign and was captured July 1863. By exchanged it was attached to Waul's Texas Legion then returned to the regiment. It surrendered with the Army of Tennessee.1<br /> <br /> The Caruthers individuals who attested this document were not found in a brief internet search. However there are other possible spellings of the name such as CARRUTHERS CARETHERS CAROTHERS. Some of the individuals named in the site Chattanoogan dot com were near the Chattanooga area during the Civil War. n/a unknown

The History of an Expedition Against Fort Du Quesne in 1755; under Major-General Edward Braddock . Edited from the Original Manuscripts by Winthrop Sargent
Philadelphia: Lippincott Grambo & Co 1855. First Edition. Engraved frontispiece 9 maps 8 folding and one vignette. 1 vols. 8vo. Original cloth. Beautiful copy. First Edition. Engraved frontispiece 9 maps 8 folding and one vignette. 1 vols. 8vo. Best account of the Braddock disaster in which half of his 1400 British troops and 63 of 89 officers were killed under the devastating fire from some 900 French Canadians and Indians hidden on either side of a heavily wooded ravine. With no experience of open fighting Braddock refused to heed the advice of the provincials to take the shelter of the trees and for over three hours the columns of redcoats presented easy targets for the enemy. Braddock himself was mortally wounded and tradition has it that on his deathbed he murmured "We shall better know how to deal with them another time." This account also issued as the first publication of the Pennyslvania Historical Society contains several journals of the expedition and other papers. Sargent's long introductory memoir "goes over the whole ground of the rival territorial claims of France and England and the whole narrative including that of the battle itself is given with care and judgment" Justin Winsor Narrative and Critical History of America V: 575.

(Civil War) Taney, Roger B
Decision of Chief Justice Taney in the case of Ex Parte John Merryman Applying for a Writ of Habeas Corpus
Philadelphia: John Campbell 1862. First Philadelphia edition. 16pp. 8vo. Disbound a bit brittle chip at fore-edge. First Philadelphia edition. 16pp. 8vo. In April 1861 with the Civil War erupting northern troops were rushed to Washington D.C. to protect the capital passing through Baltimore by rail. Although Maryland voted against secession at the end of April pro Southern sentiment abounded in the planter society and the state militia was used to try and prevent northern troops from passing through the state. The following month planter and militia Lieutenant John Merryman was arrested for treason and for advocating "armed hostility against the Government" for his role in destroying railroad bridges in the state being used to transport Union troops. Merryman's lawyers appealed to Justice Roger B. Taney the Supreme Court Justice who infamously decided the Dred Scott case by ruling that those of African ancestry could not claim citizenship in the United States who immediately issued a writ of habeas corpus. Guaranteed by the Suspension Clause of the Constitution habeas corpus protected citizens against unlawful arrests by allowing the court to bring prisoner's before the bench to determine whether their detention was indeed lawful.<br /> <br /> General George Cadwalader the commander of the military district including Fort McHenry where Merryman was being held prisoner refused to abide with Taney's decision citing Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus. On May 28 in the present decision Taney stated from the bench in ex parte John Merryman that the President can neither suspend habeas corpus nor authorize a military officer to do it and that military officers cannot arrest a person not subject to the rules and articles of war except as ordered by the court. President Lincoln would refuse to comply with Taney's ruling continuing the suspension and the military arrests without congressional approval. The passage of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act in March 1863 finally ended the controversy at least temporarily by authorizing presidential suspension of the writ during the Civil War.<br /> <br /> Taney's decision widely seen as pro-Southern although based in sound legal precedent was first published separately in Baltimore in 1861 followed by a New Orleans printing and another in Jackson Mississippi. This Philadelphia edition would appear the following year. Sabin 48029 John Campbell unknown

(Civil War) Sherman, William T
Military Map Showing the Marches of the United States Forces Under the Command of Maj. Genl. William T. Sherman During the Years 1863 1864 1865
St. Louis: Printed by Joseph Gedney 1865. Inscribed by Sherman at the lower right "With compliments of W. T. Sherman Lt. Genl. Saint Louis MO September 21 1868. Large map drawn by Capt. William Kossak and John B. Muller under the direction of Maj. W. L. B. Jenney engraved by Evans and Courtenay. 33x51 inches sheet size. Military movements hand colored. Old folds repairs on verso along folds minor staining. Inscribed by Sherman at the lower right "With compliments of W. T. Sherman Lt. Genl. Saint Louis MO September 21 1868" Large map drawn by Capt. William Kossak and John B. Muller under the direction of Maj. W. L. B. Jenney engraved by Evans and Courtenay. 33x51 inches sheet size. Military movements hand colored. An impressively large map covering most of the southern theater of the Civil War extending from Washington D.C. in the northeast to Brunswick GA in the south and westward as far as Natchez Little Rock and St. Louis. The map is filled with remarkable detail including roads towns and villages rivers creeks and railroads. Compiled under the direction of Bvt. Maj. W.L.B. Jenney by order of General Sherman 13 different authorities are credited in its preparation.<br /> <br /> A key to the hand coloring at the bottom reveals the true reason for the map i.e. to chart Sherman's taking of Atlanta and his infamous march to the sea: black lines show the route of the infantry yellow the pursuit of Hood red the 4th Army Corps green the 14th Army Corps and so on; Union fortifications are colored blue and Confederate in red; the routes of Wilson and Stoneman's cavalry corps are also separately delineated.<br /> <br /> There are various versions of this map similarly titled but produced for different publishers and reasons. The most common includes the imprint of Ferd. Mayer Genl. Lith. of New York who printed the map for inclusion in Sherman's Memoirs New York 1875. Another version was produced at a reduced scale for inclusion in the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies with the imprint of Julius Bien plate CXVII. Yet another includes the The American Photo-Lithographic Company of New York imprint at the lower right. The present version however with the St. Louis imprint of Joseph Gedney at the lower left would appear to have been separately published. Given the present version inscribed by Sherman it was perhaps produced on his behalf.<br /> <br /> We have never encountered another of these maps inscribed and signed by Sherman. Stephenson 72; Rumsey 3876 Printed by Joseph Gedney unknown

(Civil War) Davis, Jefferson
Inaugural Address of President Davis Delivered at the Capitol Monday February 18 1861 at 1 o'clock P.M.
Montgomery: Shorter & Reid 1861. First edition. 8pp. 8vo. Unbound. Minor staining. Early 20th century price annotations on upper corner of the title in ink and pencil. First edition. 8pp. 8vo. Once secession became a reality in late 1860 the rebellious states had to decide what form of government they would take. As in 1787 when the original thirteen states wove themselves into the United States through a constitution the South wove itself into a Confederacy by creating their own constitution. In early February 1861 representatives of the six seceded states Alabama Georgia Louisiana Mississippi South Carolina and Florida met in Montgomery to draft a provisional constitution and officially establish the Confederate States of America. The document would be unanimously ratified on February 8th and the following day Jefferson Davis would be unanimously elected to the provisional presidency of the Confederacy. Davis was not among the members of the convention however having returned to Mississippi from Washington after resigning his Senate seat. He immediately traveled to Montgomery delivering his inauguration address on February 18 the same day that the delegates signed the provisional constitution.<br /> <br /> Delivered on the steps of the Capitol building Davis invoked the principles of the 1776 Declaration of Independence to justify the secession and independence of the southern states: "It illustrates the American idea that governments rest on the consent of the governed and that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish them at will whenever they become destructive of the ends for which they were established. The declared purpose of the compact of the Union from which we have withdrawn was to "establish justice insure domestic tranquillity provide for the common defense promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity;" and when in the judgment of the sovereign States composing this Confederacy it has been perverted from the purposes for which it was ordained and ceased to answer the ends for which it was established a peaceful appeal to the ballot box declared that so far as they are concerned the Government created by that compact should cease to exist."<br /> <br /> His address continued by further linking the actions of the seceding states to the Founding Fathers noting that the provisional constitution they have drafted was in the spirit of the original: "We have changed the constituent parts but not the system of government. The Constitution framed by our fathers is that of these Confederate States. In their exposition of it and in the judicial construction it has received we have a light which reveals its true meaning."<br /> <br /> He defended secession by arguing that their sole purpose is the protection of their social and economic system though does not mention the word slavery and "actuated solely by the desire to preserve our own rights and promote our own welfare the separation by the Confederate States has been marked by no aggression upon others and followed by no domestic convulsion."<br /> <br /> Just a few weeks later on the steps of the Capitol in Washington Abraham Lincoln would deliver his own first inaugural address: "In your hands my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen and not in mine is the momentous issue of civil war . We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." <br /> <br /> While Lincoln's inaugural is quite common published as a government document the first separate printing of Davis's inaugural address although well represented institutionally is quite scarce on the market.

[Boer War]. COOKE, Harry Ernest
An interesting eight-page letter from 96 Trooper Henry Ernest Cooke Victorian Mounted Rifles Maitland Camp Cape Town 22 June 1900 complete with the original OAS cover
Very Good. Octavo 8 pages two bifolia. The letter is creased where folded for posting; in excellent condition. The cover has a Cape of Good Hope 1d stamp with a partial and indistinct postmark; the verso is postmarked Melbourne 30 July 1900 and Hawthorn on the same day. The cover is chipped and torn with minor loss to the rear flap. The letter comes 'From No. 96 VMR on active Service South Africa' and is addressed to his cousin Miss E. Kirwood Eva in Glenferrie Victoria. After he deals at length with the squabbles over the fate of some stamps he had sent he explains in even greater detail what occurred to him after he 'got the Fever' at Kroonstad. He was in hospital for a fortnight in Bloemfontein where he 'lived on five pints of condensed milk & water & 5 ozs of brandy a day & I got pretty thin & weak on that'. He was then sent to a convalescent hospital at Wynberg. 'I was glad to leave Bloemfontein for men were dying fast every day & the hospital I was in was overlooking the cemetary & one could never look at the place but what he could see a lot of niggers digging graves as fast as ever they could . Eva I was not affraid to die by a bullet from a rifle but to lay there & die from that miserable fever I dreaded the thought of it'. Wynburg was 'a grand place only 22 of us to a ward & on spring beds & everything kept quiet & clean as a new pin'. He is then sent to Maitland Camp and 'what a difference . it was 120 of us laying on the floor as thick as it was possible for us to lay All Australians & New Zealanders in one room & there was no one in charge & it was nothing but one constant din . I couldn't stand it at all'. Conditions improved then worsened; he was told he was going home then not; he was put on what the doctor 'calls "Light Duties" . he won't send us back to the Regiment but we have to go fooling round this camp'. A dozen of them had to put stones around the paths at the camp then they had to paint them white 'Oh by jove "Talk about a fancy Ball" . I am beginning to think I am a poor fighting cock now'. The last two pages contain a lot of these sorts of ruminations. Murray page 315 687 Private Harry Ernest Cooke in 'The Second Battalion Australian Commonwealth Horse Victorian Units'. unknown

One large sheet issued folded and uncut now opened a little inexpertly with minor marginal loss to one top edge; outer hinge split for most of its length; small puncture in the top left-hand corner; trifling signs of use and age; a very good copy. 'In the Battle of Tweebosch or De Klipdrift on 7 March 1902 a Boer commando led by Koos de la Rey defeated a British column under the command of Lieutenant General Lord Methuen during the final months of the Second Boer War. De la Rey ambushed Methuen's column at Tweebosch on the Little Harts River. The British force numbered 1250 including nearly 1000 mounted men and four guns. Methuen's force was largely made up of green troops; these panicked and fled or surrendered. Only the British regulars in the column fought stubbornly in the combat which lasted from dawn until 9:30 am. The British lost 200 killed and wounded plus 600 men and all four guns captured. After being wounded twice and suffering a broken leg when his horse fell on him Methuen was captured. De la Rey sent the wounded Methuen to a British hospital in his own carriage under a flag of truce' Wikipedia. The hospital was in Klerksdorp where Herbert Guest the enterprising local 'Printer and Publisher Bookseller Stationer etc.' was based; we presume the publication and the initial three-page account of the battle and its aftermath are his work. The last paragraph of that section was written after 'the declaration of peace' 31 May 1902. In 1939 Herman Guest the publisher's son had some of these original Klerksdorp printings bound up and issued with a new foreword telling the story of the production of his father's 'records of the campaign in the Western Transvaal and elsewhere. It will be realized that the accounts were written during times of stress and consequently some of the statements have an "ex parte" complexion. Their value . lies in the fact that they were written and produced when Klerksdorp was practically in a state of siege. The inhabitants were unable to proceed a mile in any direction from the market square and the one railway line although closely guarded was frequently disturbed by Boers'. Provenance: a Western Australian member of the 4th Battalion Australian Commonwealth Horse. Printed and Published by H.M. Guest unknown

[SPANISH CIVIL WAR] COMINTERN
International Press Correspondence aka INPRECOR; aka World News and Views. Collection of 249 Issues 1934-1939
London: H.R.G. Jefferson et al 1934-1939. NOTE: Other identified publishers all London include: Unthanks Bookshop; R. Bishop; William Massey. Beginning in July 1938 title changes to "World News and Views." <br /> <br /> Collection of two hundred forty-nine quarto issues in original staple-bound self-wrappers. Each issue 27cm x 21cm; most issues ca 20pp numbered sequentially. General wear occasional creasing or small losses; some copies marked as "File Copies;" some with red pencil annotations presumably for publication; a few issues with ink pressure stamp of the Los Angeles Workers Library. With the exception of a few issues in 1934 the journal was printed on high-quality newsprint; the run is well-preserved Very Good overall and fully readable.<br /> <br /> The periodical was issued irregularly from one to as many as three issues per week; our run collates as follows: <br /> <br /> Vol. 14 1934: 28-14161719-232629-3234-3638-4043-455760-63 32 issues<br /> Vol. 15 1935: 1-58-3136383944474850555658596163646668-72 49 issues<br /> Vol. 16 1936: 1246-3032-384042-58 53 issues<br /> Vol. 17 1937: 248-242642444547-5355-57 47 issues<br /> Vol. 18 1938: 1-35-81012-2325273031333436-4044-47525456-60 38 issues <br /> Vol. 19 1939: 2-91415181920-2628-3235-4155 30 issues. Beginning in 1918 immediately following the Russian Revolution International Press Correspondence usually called by its acronym INPRECOR became the Communist International's principal international organ for distributing "official" news of the global spread of Marxist ideology. The paper was issued in four languages English French Spanish and German and at its height no fewer than one and as many as three issues per week appeared. The chief audience was the editorial staffs of COMINTERN-aligned newspapers where many of INPRECOR's articles would be republished verbatim. Thus INPRECOR served as a de facto press service for the left-wing media in Europe North and Latin America.<br /> <br /> In our experience cohesive runs of INPRECOR in any size are unusual; this collection represents a veritable treasure-trove of official COMINTERN policy during the Popular Front period especially valuable for its day-by-day coverage and interpretation of events in Spain before during and after the Civil War and for documenting the rise of fascism across the European continent. Our run ends in August 1939 on the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the Second World War. Between that date and 1934 despite occasional lacunae the issues offered here provide a clear and compelling narrative of the sweep of world events leading to the World War and an intimate view of the communist left's response to those events. <br /> <br /> Even individual issues are somewhat scarce in commerce. Earlier issues of INPRECOR have been digitized by the Marxist Internet Archive ending in 1934. Much of the run is available in microfiche produced by the Communist Party of Great Britain but the imaging is of legendarily poor quality basically illegible in many places. Holdings for physical issues are spotty per WorldCat with many institutions holding small samples or partial runs. H.R.G. Jefferson [et al] unknown

[Prisoner of War]. DALTON, VX37705 Warrant Officer Class 2 Royce John
Six snapshots sent by Beryl Dalton his wife to VX37705 WO2 Royce John Dalton 2/24th Infantry Battalion in 1943 and 1944 while he was a prisoner of war in Italy and Germany
Six gelatin silver photographs five approximately 90 × 60 mm one 65 × 45 mm with the recipient's name prison address and a lengthy message from Mrs Beryl Dalton in ink on the verso of each one; in excellent condition with a 'Stalag VIIIA . Geprüft checked' inkstamp on each verso. Four photographs were sent to Italy and two to Germany. Judging by the dates on the messages between 23 January 1943 and 25 May 1944 and the addresses of the prisons only one snapshot was sent at a time possibly no more were permitted. In Italy 'Australians who were not officers were held in Campo 57 at Gruppignano near Udine in north-east Italy. The camp was commanded by Colonel Vittorio Calcaterra described by one prisoner as "a sadist and a beast and an accessory to murder"' Australian War Memorial. This is where WO2 Dalton was held. After Italy surrendered in September 1943 he was taken to Stalag VIIIA in Görlitz Germany. His capture probably occurred during the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942. Each snapshot features Royce John Dalton's young son John Royce Dalton who appears to have been born after his father left for the Middle East in November 1940. One poignant message reads 'Dear Royce This is our son John Royce isn't he grand .'. Others contain similar sentiments such as 'This is our son taken on his big engine on 20.12.43 which we gave him for Xmas'; and 'Mother & Pop idolize John but I don't let them spoil him. John's a happy child .'. 6 items. unknown
