‎[Con Artists - Cartography - War Correspondence - California] De Beaufort, Jack or Jacques‎

‎Collection of Maps Diaries Manuscripts and Photographs Documenting the Life and Work of the Con Artist War Correspondent and Cartographer Jack or Jacques de Beaufort aka “The Dude Reporter†with a Focus on His Cartographic and Literary Activities in Mid-Century Los Angeles‎

‎Europe and California 1950. Includes two small diaries from 1901 and 1917 with sporadic entries a large photo album measuring 14 x 11 with appx. 400 small photographs from 1906-1909 attached to album pages most measuring 3 x 2 as well as a few larger format images laid in. With 100 plus pages of typed pages including retained correspondence story ideas and various other manuscripts. With eleven maps produced for his “Of Men and Maps†series including five copies of a large map entitled “Whither Russia†in varied states and in large sizes up to 30 by 36 inches and a handful of small ephemeral pieces. Generally near fine condition with the exception of the album which is missing its rear board and has some pages loose and torn. Very Good. J.M. de Beaufort a war correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph and New York American during World War I recounted his wartime adventures in the 1917 book "Behind the German Veil: A Record of a Journalistic War Pilgrimage." Originally arriving in Chicago in 1909 he married a steel magnate's daughter and pursued a career in show business. However by 1912 he had gone through a divorce and transitioned to newspaper work earning the moniker of the "Dude Reporter." Originally born in the Netherlands as Jacques Albert Uilenbroek he was thought to be a deserter. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States apparently jailed in San Francisco for a stint in the 1920s and eventually settled in Los Angeles. <br /> Offered here is an interesting smattering of material from the life of the mysterious De Beaufort which bookends his most unusual career and life with a large visual photographic record of his life in Europe as a young man and over a hundred pages of manuscript material from late in his life with a highlight being several maps in draft form for an apparently unpublished project called “Of Men and Maps.†As a group the material shows the work of an ex-con artist and war correspondent trying to regain his form while living in Los Angeles. He was still writing as a “Special Correspondent†at this point though the title seems to have been fully honorary. Also included are two small pocket journals with sporadic notations from his life in Europe in 1900 and in 1917. In its entirety the group gives an interesting visual and manuscript record of a literary fraudulent and imaginative transatlantic life and intellect. <br /> The cartographic highlight of the group is several iterations of a large map called “Whither Russia†in varied forms which show an interesting interpretation of the sphere of influence of the USSR and its growth from 1939 to 1946. Also included are two drafts of a map of Operation Market-Garden in the Netherlands in 1944 an unidentifed tactical map of a military battlefield a map called “Middle East Jackpot†showing the division of territory between the Allied and Axis powers a map called “Dawn’s Early Light some reproduced small format maps from the De Beaufort’s and a small map called “Gifts from Yalta.†De Beaufort was working on these maps for a column called “Of Men Maps and Memories†that was published in the East Los Angeles Tribune. He also sent the columns out in newsletter form from his address at 1635 N. Ogden Drive in Los Angeles. <br /> The collection of manuscripts drafts and retained correspondence tackle a range of subjects perhaps most interestingly those detailing De Beaufort’s creative process - drafts of stories lists of ideas for stories and letters. His over the top style is on display in a lot of the writings some of which are of unknown origin and purpose. The documents contain correspondence between De Beaufort and Edwin Pauley the oil man and presidential advisor. In one untitled essay he asks himself the question “What has been your most thrilling experience†and his reply is “ Silly questions. Who or at least what newspaperman of some 25 turbulent years standing - and falling - could answer such a question. A reporter’s life has a thousand thrills. There was that rainy day in Marcy 1915 in the fortress of Loetzen when I stood face to face with Hindenburg. Hm yes that was quite a thrill…†De Beaufort was entrenched in the Los Angeles journalistic scene at this point and the documents show the degree to which he relied on his former glories to attempt various career revitalizations endeavors. <br /> The album of photographs from 1906-1909 over 400 in total give a visual record of the young Uilenbroek’s life in Europe. The star of the collection is his bulldog Bob who travels throughout Europe with him and eventually comes to America by 1907. Mary who we presume to be his future wife is featured heavily in the images. It is unclear whether he was working at this point the images show affluent young people and their dog in varied cities and are purely of a personal nature. Other photographs laid in are relics from his war correspondent period. The loose photographs and ephemera are a mix of portraits from different periods from his life including two pictures of Sydney Turing Barlow Lawson one signed by his widow. The journals are sporadically filled and hard to decipher though one legible passage says “drinking all day.â€<br /> Overall the group gives evidence of this intriguing life and is the only extant group of material relating to Beaufort to our knowledge with the exception of a single journal from his time in Belgium during WWI that was sold at Bonhams and is still available in the trade as of this writing. unknown‎

‎[Mexican Border War - Cartography - Personal Narratives] Gaffney, Samuel; Rice, CA, et al C A‎

‎Scrapbook Documenting the Mexican Border Service Campaigns of 1916-1917 with an Unrecorded Map of the Campaign in Hidalgo County in 1916‎

‎VP 1917. Scrapbook measuring 15 ½ x 10 ½ inches. With forty leaves most with newspaper clippings and varied ephemera attached. Boards detached contents generally fine. Laid in is a blueprint map entitled Map of Part of Hidalgo County Texas Showing Line of March in my Mexican Border Service 1916. Made from Survey Notes taken on the march by Corp. C.A. Rice 74 Inf. N.G.U.S. Buffalo N.Y. Armory. Map measuring 33 ½ x 14 ¾ inches irregularly shaped and apparently complete. Very Good. A scrapbook documenting the military service of 1st Sergeant Samuel Gaffney of the 74th National Guard New York in the Mexican Border Service. Gaffney documents the campaign in great detail through printed matter - with each of the forty leaves containing material affixed including panoramic photographs advertisements from local businesses along the routes programs from entertainment offered to the troops military orders and official correspondence and many affixed newspaper articles and photographs. <br /> <br /> The scrapbook is most notable for the inclusion of an unrecorded map by Charles A. Rice the Buffalo native who would eventually map the campaign in larger fashion in a map entitled Map Showing Lines and March and Border Patrols in my Mexican Border Service 1916-1917. The map here just showing the route through Hidalgo County is unrecorded. The larger map - which was produced as souvenirs for the other members of the 74th - is quite scarce as well with five copies known to exist per OCLC with two different numbers. This blueprint map which appears to be complete cartographically and missing only the ornamental border on one portion shows the route taken early in the campaign in 1916. The Buffalo native Rice 1885-1931 who would eventually settle in Texas after the conflict also wrote a history of the 74th during the campaign. Rice published the maps and memoir himself. The map shows the route in great detail showing the location of wells farms roads and identifying landowners. Water quality and abundance is understandably a common theme in Rice’s notes. Some notes show the location of bandits smugglers and the like. We find no other examples of blueprint maps by Rice. <br /> <br /> Other highlights from the scrapbook include seven panoramic photographs of the 74th encamped at Pharr; a broadside advertisement for the shop of Agustin Acevedo in Pharr listing prices of goods; a handbill advertising the 74th’s Minstrels and Great Entertainment show on September 16 1916; an advertisement for a production entitled Glorious Liberty at the National Theatre in Pharr; two circulars instructing troop movement issued by Headquarters Brownsville District; several postcards with songs about the campaign; several snapshots; a mounted albumen photograph of troops at rest with the notation “Corp Frederick Paid†verso; a typed poem entitled “Home Again†and a notebook page describing his activities from January 1917 onward; and a thanksgiving menu for 1916 for the holiday spent at Pharr. The remainder of the scrapbook is composed of affixed newspaper clippings which provide extensive information on the 74th collected in a single volume. <br /> <br /> Overall a significant scrapbook with much information to glean for students of the 74th’s activities with the map providing a unique cartographic reference of the early days of the campaign. unknown‎

‎[Civil War – Politics – Americans Abroad] Peck, Tracy‎

‎Letters from Friends to Tracy Peck Connecticuter Living Abroad‎

‎United States Germany and others 1869. Seven letters approximately twenty-six total pages most about 8 x 5 inches. One letter dated 1862; one dated 1863; two dated 1864; one dated 1869; two without date. Two of the letters are written in French untranslated. Generally very good or better with one showing water damage though legible. Tracy Peck 1838–1921 was born in Bristol Connecticut to a family who had been in the Hartford area since the 17th century. According to his obituary in The Classical Journal Vol. 17 No. 6 Peck studied at Yale and then abroad in Germany returned to the United States to teach Latin at Cornell and Yale and then went back to Europe again where he served as the Director of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome until his death.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a group of letters from friends and family to Peck mainly written during the American Civil War when Peck was studying in Germany. The letters update Peck on the war politics and the activities and fortunes of various friends.<br /> <br /> Many of Peck’s friends were academics and avoided involvement in the Civil War nearly as well as Peck himself did. Not all were so lucky though. A friend probably a Yale classmate writes from Massachusetts “with a notice of the death of F.S. Davisâ€:<br /> <br /> “He died poor fellow in the hospital at Chattanooga about the middle of April. After leaving college he spent the first winter at home joined the ‘Memphis Southrons’ in March ‘62 He was at many battles and suffered untold hardships for one year when he died the first martyr of our class.†August 17 1863<br /> <br /> Another friend Sheldon had just completed his service:<br /> <br /> “He had been in several severe battles had been captured and taken to Richmond. While in service he met Bob Stiles who wouldn’t shake hands with him but tried to prove that unionism was oppressionâ€.<br /> <br /> Though the war would continue for several more years the friend writes that zeal for it is already waning:<br /> <br /> “The war goes on languidly. The enthusiasm has died out. Everyone expects the war to close by the south yielding to reasonable conditions. There is no apprehension felt as to the final issue. It has about ceased to be talked of.â€<br /> <br /> That same friend would later travel abroad as well though his aspirations would be less intellectual than were Peck’s. He writes from Egypt where it is so hot that “Except for some luscious oranges which we got of a lightly-clad nymph we should have perished of thirst†about a comical scene:<br /> <br /> “A tall muselman at one of the intermediate train stations had lain down his silk mantle and turning to the east gave through the prostrations prayers of his religion with great fervor and to the intense satisfaction of the ladies. Suddenly he touched his forehead to the ground leaped up. Their interest redoubled their attention with it when to my great amusement he squatted down unbuttoned his trousers began to pump ship in full view. The abrupt descent from prayer to pissing was too much for the females while I stifled a laugh in a cough my jacket handkerchief.†No Date<br /> <br /> A later comment in the same letter where he describes being escorted up one of the pyramids and then “shouting ‘be quiet’ to the clamoring Egyptiansâ€â€”whom he also describes as a “rapacious broodâ€â€”is likewise revealing of his attitude towards the locals.<br /> <br /> The latest letter in the group from Richard Harck is more high-minded. Harck inquires whether as Peck’s “foot . again walks on hallowed native soil†he has “acquired such a situation among the lumina of your country as your knowledge and learning deserve†July 30 1869. Harck is in Germany where there “is an utter stagnation in politics†as they approach the unification:<br /> <br /> “The particularities and sectional ideas of the southern population and their sovereigns the antagony of the there powerfull clergy and the partly illiberal constitution and laws of the North German Union. Bismarck may be a great statesman and minster for foreign affairs but not a fit man to rule the interior of a constitutional state. . But he cannot stop the progress of the ever advancing ideas of liberalism and freedom; the powerful public opinion overwhelms him .â€.<br /> <br /> Overall a look at the effects on ordinary lives of several important political upheavals of the mid-19th century. unknown‎

‎[Judaica - World War Two - Immigration - Ellis Island] Rosendor, Bitia‎

‎Portfolio of Drawings and Memoir Documenting a Forty-Day Internment at Ellis Island While Fleeing Nazi Persecution in 1941‎

‎New York City 1941. Thirty-three sketches mainly measuring 6 x 8 or 8 x 10 inches affixed to black construction paper. Sketches are pen and ink or pencil some with captions. With seventeen typed pages mainly measuring 6 ½ x 7 inches. In an 11 x 14 ½ inch portfolio. Spine of portfolio missing all pages separated; sketches excellent construction paper with much marginal chipping; typed pages with adhesive verso else excellent. Overall very good to excellent. Bitia Rosendor 1920–2011 was a Jewish artist born in Jerusalem and raised in Antwerp Belgium. Rosendor studied painting and sculpture at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp but her studies were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. The Rosendor family fled Europe via Portugal in 1941 and were detained at Ellis Island where these sketches were produced.<br /> <br /> The sketches include portraits of other detainees and immigration employees and views from the island. Most have captions including brief notes about the subjects such as “She became hysterical and was taken to the hospital†“A little orphan going all alone to the Dominican Republic†and “‘Liberty’ through barsâ€â€”the latter on an illustration of the Statue of Liberty seen through the bars on the internment center’s windows.<br /> <br /> The typed text describes Rosendor’s experience waiting for the family’s Visa to be approved. The ordeal is mostly one of boredom; she writes:<br /> <br /> “Everyone had the same endless day to pass but everyone passed it differently. There was no possible way to be original but each of us retained her or his personality. The emptiness of the hours was heavy to bear.â€<br /> <br /> The boredom though is punctuated by “incidentsâ€; some negative as when “Once a Chinese girl wept for three days uninterrupted refused to eat refused everything†and some positive as when “A friend seen last time at the Antipodes†disembarks “from a newly entered ship . and suddenly: ‘YOU’! -’YOU’â€.<br /> <br /> Rosendor would live with her family in Brooklyn until the 1950s when she returned to Europe with her husband Jewish-American painter Martin Reisberg a fellow immigrant whom she met in the city. The pair returned to Belgium where they ran a gallery and created exhibitions together until Rosendor’s death in 2011.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the Holocaust American immigration and the Jewish immigrant experience in the 1940s. unknown‎

‎Eighth Illinois Regiment Now In France‎

‎United States: N.p. 1917. Lithographic poster measuring 15 ½ x 11 ¼ inches. Some damage to edges including small section torn off upper right side good condition. A poster celebrating the Eighth Infantry Regiment Illinois National Guard during World War I. Text on the poster reads:<br /> <br /> “Eighth Illinois Regiment Now In France / The Regiment was mustered in the U.S. Volunteer Service as the Eighth Infantry 370th U. S. National Guard Illinois U. S. Volunteers. / On June 28th officers were commissioned by Governor John R. Tanner then Governor of the State of Illinois. The first commander was JOHN R. MARSHALL who commanded the Regiment and saw service during the Spanish American War in Cuba. He was placed on the retired list January 1st 1914 and was succeeded by the present Commander COLONEL FRANKLIN A. DENNISON January 12th 1914 who is at present Commanding Officer in France. The Eighth Regiment is now about 3000 strong and is now in France on active duty. There are over 157000 negro troops either in France or on their way.â€<br /> <br /> The Eighth Illinois was the only African American combat regiment at that time that also had Black officers. Brig. General Franklin A. Denison pictured at the top left and mislabeled as “Franklin H. Denison†was Colonel of the regiment in France and was the first Black American to be promoted above Colonel when he became a Brigadier General in 1918; when Denison was replaced with a white officer Lieutenant Colonel Otis Beverly Duncan of the Eighth became the highest-ranking African American officer in the US Army.<br /> <br /> The Eighth fighting under the French Army saw significant combat earning the nickname “Black Devils†from the Germans and receiving more honors than any other American regiment on the Western Front. We find records of holdings at Yale and the Chicago Public Library but no examples on the market or at auction. N.p. unknown‎

‎Three 1865 Documents Certifying the Death of Private William Cottman of the 9th U.S. Colored Troops‎

‎Annapolis Baltimore and Somerset County Maryland 1865. Three documents. Two folded with normal wear else Near Fine; one very delicate torn into two pieces formerly mended with archival tape with some damage intersecting with text good. Overall very good. Three documents certifying the death of William Cottman a private with the 9th Regiment of the US Colored Troops USCT during the Civil War. The 9th was organized at Camp Stanton in Benedict Maryland in November of 1863 shortly following the establishment of USCT divisions; Cottman’s documents state that he enlisted on November 22. Coming from Maryland William Cottman was likely formerly enslaved; the Cottmans were a prominent Maryland family holding many enslaved people.<br /> <br /> According to the National Parks Service record during the 9th’s service forty-seven men one an officer were killed in combat and 266 enlisted men died from disease; the latter includes Cottman whose paperwork states that he “Died at Base Hospital Jones Landing of feverâ€. In fact not only did the USCT mortality rate exceed other that of other troops by thirty-five per cent the majority of the deaths were from disease.1 Living and sanitary conditions for these troops were subpar and there was significant difficulty in convincing qualified surgeons to work in African American regiments. <br /> <br /> These forms are possibly related to a pension claim by Cottman’s widow Susan Cottman; one of the documents certifies with two witnesses that the couple were married for fourteen years. Pension applications for Black Civil War veterans and their dependents were complicated—many were formerly enslaved and thus might be illiterate without documents such as a birth certificate or with marriages that were not legally recognized.<br /> <br /> Of interest to researchers of the USCT and the postbellum lives of their families.<br /> <br /> 1 Herbert Aptheker “Negro Casualties in the Civil War†The Journal of Negro History 32 no. 1 Jan. 1947: 10–80. unknown‎

‎Two Press Photographs Relating to the 15th Infantry‎

‎New York: Underwood and Underwood 1919. First Edition. Gelatin silver prints 7 ¾ x 5 ½ inches each on 11 ½ x 7 inch black paper mounts captioned with affixed text. Very Good. Two WWI-era press photographs related to the Negro 15th Infantry Division of the New York National Guard a.k.a. the 369th US Infantry Regiment and their white commander Colonel William Hayward. One photograph shows the division on parade in New York following their return from combat duty in France in 1919 the other is a well-known image of Hayward who organized the all-black unit and served as its leader. Fighting for a record-breaking 191 consecutive days alongside French troops in the trenches the regiment became known as the “Harlem Hellfighters.†<br /> <br /> The opportunity for African-Americans to serve in WWI arose from the Selective Service Act of 1917 which drafted all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Special segregated training camps were established and units were formed. The US National Archives states that 200000 African-Americans served in Europe during WWI but only 42000 saw combat. When the 15th Infantry arrived in France in 1918 Hayward was committed to the idea that his unit would fight on the front lines. After General Pershing refused to integrate them with the full US army Hayward pushed for another assignment under French command. Unlike many other segregated divisions in WWI the 15th aka 369th was eventually sent to the trenches. Its members' distinguished service brought honor and fame. Before leaving the US in 1917 the regiment had not been allowed to participate in the New York National Guard’s farewell parade. When they returned victorious Hayward ensured they were publicly honored. <br /> <br /> Both with various press stamps to versos. Small closed tear of about a half inch to upper edge of parade picture good overall. Hayward portrait with some rippling at edges very good overall. Underwood and Underwood unknown‎
