Cameron Simon
FROM DOCUMENT NO. 229 OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 3D SESSION 25TH CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES CONTAINING ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD "IN RELATION TO THE SETTLEMENT OF THE CLAIMS OF THE HALF-BREED RELATIVES OF THE WINNEBAGOE INDIANS" IN WHICH CASE THE COMMISSION OF GENERAL SIMON CAMERON WAS SET ASIDE. Caption-title: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. EXECUTION OF TREATY WITH THE WINNEBAGOES.
Harrisburg 1855. 48pp. Stitched in original printed blue title wrappers spine-chipped. Two stab holes in blank left margin. Light scattered foxing old vertical fold Very Good. This document says Howes was reprinted "to discredit" Cameron a Pennsylvania kingmaking politician who avidly stuffed his pockets with the spoils of a panoply of public offices. In 1838 President Van Buren made him an Indian Commissioner in charge of settling the Winnebago Indian land claims. The appointment ended in scandal when he used his own bank's notes as part of the adjustment. He became derisively known as "The Great Winnebago Chief." The front wrapper quoting from the St. Louis Reporter calls Cameron's activities "infamous speculation." Bibliographers-- generally recording only a 38-page pamphlet under this title-- conclude that this pamphlet was printed in 1839. That seems unlikely. Original House Document 229 was printed during the 25th Congress in 1839. This reprint was published to thwart Cameron's designs on a U.S. Senate seat and was probably printed in 1855: he was running for the Senate that year and a related pamphlet entitled a Rejoinder to the Defence Published by Simon Cameron also issued in 1855. Each of them exposes Cameron's shady business dealings during his term as Indian Commissioner. "Plot of Simon Cameron and fellow rascals to defraud these Indians of half a million dollars frustrated by a young army officer E.A. Hitchcock" Howes. OCLC 38259958 2- PA State Boston Athen. as of May 2019. Field 1686 and Howes W569 38pp. unknown

ORTIZ SIMON J
Out There Somewhere
University of Arizona Press Tucson: . He has been out there somewhere for a while now a poet at large in America. Simon Ortiz one of our finest living poets has been a witness participant and observer of interactions Ortiz expresses anger and despair in poems that nonetheless are permeated by gentleness and in which silence is every bit as eloquent as words. His meticulous use of repetition and rhythm ensures that the reader feels the pulse of his words and therefore understands them with more than mere intellect. �Booklist Combining Native American history personal confession and social critique in a clear conversational style . . . insightful no-nonsense political analysis and poetry rooted in Acoma culture . . . asks crucial questions as much as it argues for beauty. �Publishers Weekly Although his words often seem innocent the observations he makes could only come from one who has known the harshness of the experience. . . . This work ultimately shows us those moments of heightened awareness in which we finally know why we say yes to the private journeys we take through our various geographies and landscapes. �Southwest Book Views An accomplished veteran poet at the height of his powers. . . . Ortiz's extraordinary command of his material and authority of voice makes Out There Somewhere a major work. His personal engagement with a state of exile in the larger culture of being Acoma is compelling and energetic. �Multicultural Review As always Ortiz's work is beautiful profound in its simplicity and sincerity. �North American Review between the Euro-American cultural world and that of his Native American people for many years. In this collection of haunting new work he confronts moments and instances of his personal past�and finds redemption in the wellspring of his culture. A writer known for deeply personal poetry Ortiz has produced perhaps his most personal work to date. In a collage of journal entries free-verse poems and renderings of poems in the Acoma language he draws on life experiences over the past ten years�recalling time spent in academic conferences and writers' colonies jails and detox centers�to convey something of the personal and cultural history of dislocation. As an American Indian artist living at times on the margins of mainstream culture Ortiz has much to tell about the trials of alcoholism poverty displacement. But in the telling he affirms the strength of Native culture even under the most adverse conditions and confirms the sustaining power of Native beliefs and connections: "With our hands we know the sacred earth. / With our spirits we know the sacred sky." Like many of his fellow Native Americans Ortiz has been "out there somewhere"�Portland and San Francisco Freiburg Germany and Martinique�away from his original homeland culture and community. Yet as these works show he continues to be absolutely connected socially and culturally to Native identity: "We insist that we as human cultural beings must always have this connection" he writes "because it is the way we maintain a Native sense of existence." Drawing on this storehouse of places times and events Out There Somewhere is a rich fusion taking readers into the heart and soul of one of today's most exciting and original American poets.

GOLDHILL SIMON
Freud's Couch Scott's Buttocks Bront�'s Grave
University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2011. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The Victorian era was the high point of literary tourism. Writers such as Charles Dickens George Eliot and Sir Walter Scott became celebrities and readers trekked far and wide for a glimpse of the places where their heroes wrote and thought walked and talked. Even Shakespeare was roped in as Victorian entrepreneurs transformed quiet Stratford-upon-Avon into a combination shrine and tourist trap. Stratford continues to lure the tourists today as do many other sites of literary pilgrimage throughout Britain. And our modern age could have no better guide to such places than Simon Goldhill. In Freud's Couch Scott's Buttocks Bront�'s Grave Goldhill makes a pilgrimage to Sir Walter Scott's baronial mansion Wordsworth's cottage in the Lake District the Bront � parsonage Shakespeare's birthplace and Freud's office in Hampstead. Traveling as much as possible by methods available to Victorians�and gamely negotiating distractions ranging from broken bicycles to a flock of giggling Japanese schoolgirls�he tries to discern what our forebears were looking for at these sites as well as what they have to say to the modern mind. What does it matter that Emily Bront�'s hidden passions burned in this specific room What does it mean especially now that his fame has faded that Scott self-consciously built an extravagant castle suitable for Ivanhoe�and star-struck tourists visited it while he was still living there Or that Freud's meticulous recreation of his Vienna office is now a meticulously preserved museum of itself Or that Shakespeare's birthplace features student actors declaiming snippets of his plays . . . in the garden of a house where he almost certainly never wrote a single line Goldhill brings to these inquiries his trademark wry humor and a lifetime's engagement with literature. The result is a travel book like no other a reminder that even today the writing life still has the power to inspire. Simon Goldhill is professor in Greek literature and culture at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of many books including Love Sex & Tragedy also published by the University of Chicago Press. "Unfailingly enjoyable. . . . Goldhill's book is an evocative excursion a joy to read and full of interest." - The Tablet: The International Cattholic Weekly "Wryly funny deeply thoughtful musings on literary pilgrimage--why readers visit writers' houses and what if anything we gain by it. . . . Part travel memoir part literary inquiry with a large dose of history and frequent dashes of dry humor this book will appeal to bookworms Anglophiles and anyone who loves to visit historical sites but rolls their eyes at the overpriced rubbish in the gift shop." - Shelf Awareness for Readers University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 2011 hardcover
