‎[Mexican-American War - Correspondence - Food] Clutter, George‎

‎Lengthy Letter Describing the Food and Scenery of Vera Cruz Written by Captain George Clutter of Wheeling West Virginia Captain of the the ‘Mountain Boys of Monongolia.’‎

‎Vera Cruz 1847. Folded letter to Wheeling Virginia with learly struck two-line datestamp with "Paid 10" manuscript rate and blue "Steam" handstamp of New Orleans on 1847 with an unusual “Steam†marking applied in New Orleans. Fine condition. Fine. A descriptive and interesting letter from Captain George W. Clutter of Wheeling Virginia describing the scenes and food in Vera Cruz in detail. Clutter had enlisted a detachment of thirty-two men in early 1847 in Monongalia County for service in the war who would eventually become known as the “Mountain Boys of Monongalia.†Clutter was promoted to the captaincy upon the resignation of John Tyler. The company sailed in June of 1847 on the Brig “Tuckahoe†from Old Point Comfort to Point Isabel where they marched to join General Taylor’s forces. <br /> <br /> This interesting letter written by Clutter from Vera Cruz describes the city and cuisine of Vera Cruz in detail. He writes “I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. <br /> <br /> As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American or rather United States cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family even the provost understands making the article from the Cocoa.†Clutter offers additional details on troop movements and logistics of the campaign. Other letters by Clutter during the period are held at the West Virginia Regional History Center at WVU. <br /> <br /> Full contents follow:<br /> <br /> Vera Cruz Mexico<br /> Thursday Sept. 30th 1847<br /> <br /> When I wrote to you from the Brazos I felt in rather a bad humor and as I have arrived at this splendid city the first splendid place I have found in Mexico I will endeavor to write to you more at length than I did from the above named place. We left the Brazos at 5 o'clock P.M. on Monday on board the Steamship Ohio and without ever seeing the sun once during the voyage arrived here today Thursday about 11 o'clock A.M. - truly a quick trip. None of our Regiment except those who were favored with a passage on the Ohio in Company with Brig. Genl. Cushing are here yet. Those of our Regiment here are as follows: Lieut. Col. Withers Capt. Clay & his Company and Capt. Campbell & your humble servant who came upon the sick list. I am much improved since the commencement of the voyage and will with a day or two's rest be able to take up the line of march by the time the Regiment gets ready to move forward to join Genl. Scott. I must explain here the balance of the Regiment is coming in ships which may detain them two or three days in which event I will have become rested. I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. <br /> <br /> As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American or rather United States cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family even the provost understands making the article from the Cocoa.<br /> <br /> In this City may be seen all the fashionable fine buildings and streets to be found in any city of the United States. Also all the various fancy and other goods now in the cities of the North & East can be found here. <br /> <br /> I have not yet found another horse since my arrival but must try and get one tomorrow. I hope my friend Pollock will receive the Mexican roan 'J.B.' which I sent him from Brazos. From hard usage he is not in very good order at present but with little care will be a very useful horse. Don't you ever ask the privilege of riding him however. Mind I know him well. <br /> <br /> As you have heard before this Genl. Scott is in the City of Mexico having sustained a very heavy loss in getting there. We expect to have considerable fighting between here and the City of Mexico ourselves. Time however will reveal all things. <br /> <br /> The soreness in my legs which I complained of is better but I fear exercise will cause it to return. What it will terminate in I am unable to say at present. <br /> <br /> I received a letter from you at this place today which was read with the usual interest notwithstanding it was written on the 13th August 17 days previous to the last one received at Sabinito which was dated 30th August.<br /> <br /> I have just bought five Vera Cruz papers which I will send you. They are half Mexican which half you can dispose of as you see proper. By the bye Mr. Fleeson promised to send you the Matamoros Flag regular. Tell me if you get it. <br /> <br /> Oct. 1st 1847<br /> <br /> This morning I have been all over the city. It would take me a month to describe all the curiosities I have beheld. I will save that for a private chat some long evening after my return. <br /> <br /> I would like to have you Dear little Ada to examine and see the curiosities to be seen. When papa comes home he will bring you some of them. <br /> <br /> My love to Sarah Ann. I would write longer to her had I time. My love to all my friends & acquaintances. <br /> <br /> I am Dearest Sarah<br /> your loving husband<br /> Geo. W. Clutter<br /> <br /> to<br /> Sarah M. Clutter. unknown‎

‎[Cuban History - World War I – Red Cross Society] Unknown Photographer‎

‎Photograph of Cuban Red Cross Volunteers at a Benefit Performance for Cuba’s War Effort‎

‎Havana Cuba 1917. Excellent. The Cuban Red Cross Society was formed in 1909 by Dr. Diego Tamayo y Figueredo. In 1917 when this photograph was taken it was headed by Madame Mariana Seva de Menocal wife of then-President Mario García Menocal who was in office 1913–1921. Cuba had joined the Allies when President Menocal and the Cuban congress declared war on Germany in April of 1917; under Madame de Menocal the Cuban Red Cross raised $1000000 in cash to open and staff a hospital in France. This photograph shows ten women in Red Cross dresses holding what appear to be donation jars. Description verso reads in part<br /> <br /> “This group of Havana society girls acted as ushers at a recent special Red Cross benefit performance at the National Theatre in Havana of the Cuban Opera for the benefit of the Cuban Red Cross. Their success was so great that they volunteered for similar additional service at various other benefits held for this organization in the Cuban capital.â€. unknown‎

‎[Civil War - Zouave Regiments]][Vernacular Photography]‎

‎An Unusual Outdoor Sixth Plate Tintype of a Zouave Soldier Possibly from New York‎

‎New York 1860. An unusual image of a Zouave soldier in an outdoor setting holding a horse. During the Civil War roughly 95 Zouave regiments formed adopting the names uni-forms and sometimes fighting styles of the North African Zouave brigades. The bulk - about 70 of the regiments - fought for the Union cause. We were unable to determine anything else about this soldier though the image was found in a New York estate. New York was home to two of the most famous Zouave brigades the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry and the 11th New York Volunteer In-fantry.

‎[Mexico] [Pastry War] Hersant, M‎

‎Signed manuscript report and chart from Hersant Consul de France a San Luis Potosí and Tampico to Comte de Rigny Minister of the Navy‎

‎Mexico 1833. First Edition. Mexico: May 23 1833. Letter and chart on watermarked single folio sheets approx. 13 x 16-½ inches letter: 3 pp.; chart: 2 pp.;. Near Fine. Rare first-hand documentation of the growing trade tensions that eventually led to the French-Mexican “Pastry War†of 1838. Consul Hersant’s gossipy report surveys the “commercial movement of the port of Tampico since it’s opening in 1824 until the end of 1832.†Hersant complains to his superiors that Mexican trade with the US and England far outpaces France; even the Hanseatic League has become a problem. The Consul includes a hand-drawn table tallying foreign ships and the weight of goods by country a visual aid supporting his claim that French trade lags considerably behind other partners. <br /> <br /> Ultimately it is civil disorder that most disturbs the Consul; that is smuggling assisted by the Mexican customs officers themselves: "se fait impunément et avec l'aide des douaniers eux-mêmes et peut porter au double la quantité de marchandises qui entrent du dehors." Indeed the early years of the Mexican Republic were marked by a notable lack of governmental accountability toward foreign governments or private property owners as various internal parties struggled for power. This disregard eventually led King Louis-Philippe’s government to sue for damages against Mexico on behalf of French citizens doing business there. The most famous claimant was a pastry chef who claimed his shop had been looted. In 1838 when the amount went unpaid the French invaded Veracruz and blockaded Mexico’s Atlantic ports beginning the so-called Pastry War.<br /> <br /> References to Hersant can be found in other histories of the French attempt to gain ground in Mexico e.g. establishing alternative shipping passages inland to compete with North American traders. Overall a scarce pair of documents in excellent condition with minimal normal wear. unknown‎

‎[Spanish-American War] [Massachusetts] Second Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry‎

‎Forty-Nine Photographs of the 2nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Most Identified‎

‎Massachusetts 1898. The 2nd Massachusetts Volunteers mustered into service in May 1898 and within a month saw significant action in Cuba at the Battle of El Caney. They were one of three volunteer units from Massachusetts to see action on the Santiago Campaign. The regiment was inexperienced - 55% were untrained recruits. The lack of experience combined with their rifles giving off a very visible black smoke led to a heavy casualties in the Battle of El Caney. After an encampment near Santiago de Cuba in which a large number of the soldiers became ill with disease - estimates are as high as 65% - the regiment returned home in August. Historians have noted that soldier demographics changed considerably from the Civil War to the Spanish American war as the smaller number of troops and the lack of a draft led to a more enthusiastic army with higher morale. <br /> <br /> The photographs in this group are interesting as a typological grouping of images of untrained soldiers and also for their historical value as most contain identifications to versos. The highlight of the group is forty-four uniformly mounted portraits of soldiers nearly all identified measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ½ inches each. Other photographs include a large portrait of Captain Frederick E. Pierce with the blindstamp of Goldsmith Studio Springfield Massachusetts and a 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ inch square card of Capt. Pierce in Camp Turner. Also included are two slightly larger photographs on similar mounts. <br /> <br /> Overall an interesting group. Good condition overall with assorted chips and wear. unknown‎

‎Orlowski, Joseph L [Compiler]; Joseph L Madison [Nom de guerre]‎

‎Large archive of materials related to CIA front companies Air America Air Asia and Civil Air Transport‎

‎Southeast Asia: Various 1975. A substantial fascinating archive relating to Civil Air Transport and its subsidiaries and spin-offs such as Air America and Air Asia. The airlines were front companies for the American Central Intelligence Agency infamously involved in covert ops all over Southeast Asia especially Laos during the Vietnam War including drug smuggling. <p>Archive includes rare internal company memos reports budgets manuals some remarkable vernacular photographs ephemera and other items such as meticulous designs for uniforms of CAT employees to make it seem like a "real" airline. Spans over 30" of shelf space. Very Good condition overall. <p>The archive's compiler Joseph Louis Orlowski was an engineer by trade who worked in China before the country's 1949 revolution leaving for Taiwan and then rising through the ranks of CAT as it became Air America to become Vice President in the 1960s. He began using his wife's maiden name Madison as an alias eventually legally changing his name to it. His journey through the ranks of these airlines-- with their ever-present need to pretend to be regular airlines while paradoxically carrying out espionage drug dealing and acts of outright war-- is chronicled in these stacks of documents mostly minutiae. His black and white photos many of which are labeled or housed in envelopes with locations and context are particularly fascinating offering a vivid glimpse of wild dangerous lives belied by all the technical specs and dull documents: landing strips on plateaus in remote jungles parachuters in mid jump sacks of what may very well be heroin being loaded into a plane soldiers in jeeps Asian peasants and acrid plumes of black smoke rising above French colonial mansions and palm trees. <p>CONTENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: <p> BOUND MATERIALS <br> 1.
