Adak, Alaska (U S Navy) (Ephemera)
Hammerhead Lodge Menu
Adak AK: Hammer Head Lodge. Very Good. 0. Hardcover. This is a cardcover folder / menu with a decorated and stamped front cover. The interior contains two typed pages of menu items with prices under plastic holders. This menu is from circa 1955 at the Hammerhead Lodge which was the Naval Officer's mess on Adak Island Alaska. "On 1 July 1950 the Air Force transferred Davis AFB to the United States Navy who established an anti-submarine warfare base there. Adak was most recently run by the U. S. Navy as a deployment base for P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft primarily to conduct antisubmarine warfare operations against submarines and surveillance of naval surface vessels of the former Soviet Union. The Naval Air Facility was also reported to be used as a refueling stop for U-2 Dragon Lady ultra-high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. By the 1980s there were over 6000 Navy personnel on the islands. With the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s NAS Adak's operational viability as a front-line military installation began to wane and in the mid-1990s a decision was made by the federal government to cease military flight operations there under the military's Base Realignment and Closure Program BRAC. On 31 March 1997 the Navy closed Adak Naval Air Facility. The lowering of the flag for the last time ended an era that began of 31 August 1942 when U. S. Forces landed on the Aleutian Island and established an advance base there for operations against the Japanese on Kiska and Attu Islands. The Navy left behind a contingent of 30 Navy personnel and 200 civilian contractors to maintain facilities keep the runway open and begin an environmental cleanup." . Hammer Head Lodge hardcover

Adams Robert; Adams Marina; Willens Alan; Willens Ann.
Dry Land: Man and Plants.
New York: St. Martin’s Press 1979. First Edition Review Copy. Quarto blue leatherette hardcover gilt letters vii 152 pp. Good with soiling to page edges neat former-owner stamps former-owners published review pasted to rear endpaper in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From jacket: Over a quarter of the world’s surface is arid or semi-arid and there are fears that this total may increase sharply as the result of climatic change and growing pressures from an expanding and hungry world population. Urgent needs have led man himself to contribute alarmingly to the continuous depletion of the stock of usable lands through unconsidered exploitation: fertile areas are degrading rapidly and marginal ones are turning into deserts. This timely book shows how the threats to such fragile territories can be arrested controlled and reversed through the careful management of dry-land ecosystems. It examines the characteristics of arid and semi-arid environments throughout the world and describes the kinds of vegetation they are able to support. Drawing thier lessons from nature the authors show how indiginous vegetation can be used to create developments which are self-sustaining in the long run based on an apporach that works with nature rather than against it. They set out in great detail the techniques that are involved from the preliminary survey of climate topography soils and water through the analysis of the existing ecosystem to the planning of developments with plants and regimes of irrigation plant propagation and management of soil water vegeation and human settlements.

Admiral David Robertson-Macdonald (1817-1910), Scottish Royal Navy officer who served under six sovereigns [his son David Macdon
Admiral David Robertson-Macdonald. Autograph transcripts of 3 documents relating to his defence of Kororarika NZ against an attack by 'natives' during the Flagstaff War. With 88 eighty-eight newspaper obituaries and other biographical matter.
Edinburgh Scotland; Kororarika Nelson and Auckland New Zealand. The transcripts made by the Admiral towards the end of his life from documents dating from 1845. The newspaper obituaries all dating from 1910. Other matter from 1918. At the outbreak of the Flagstaff War Robertson-Macdonald was serving as Commander of HMS Hazard. On 11 March 1845 he was severely wounded while leading the defence of the town of Kororarika now Russell from 'the attack of an overwhelming body of natives' resulting in the loss of six of his men. The three transcripts that form Item One below relate to this action and were presumably made out by the Admiral himself towards the end of his life in a shaky hand and with a number of errors. They are in a contemporary shaky old man's hand and in the residue of the family papers. Of particular interest is the first of the three transcripts which unlike the other two does not appear to have been published. The original has not been traced and it may be that only the present copy survives. This item together the rest of the collection described below derives from the papers of the Admiral's son David Macdonald Robertson-Macdonald. ONE: Autograph transcripts 4pp. folio of three documents relating to the defence of Kororarika. All three on a bifolium of ruled Britannia paper by Waterston & Sons of Edinburgh where the Admiral was resident at the end of his life. In good condition lightly-aged. The first of the three transcripts is a letter 2pp. addressed 'To David Robertson Esq Acting Command of H.M Ship Hazard' and dated from 'Auckland New Zealand 26 March 1845'. The Admiral notes in pencil that '213 signed' the document. The first paragraph reads: 'We the undersigned Inhabitants of Auckland and we the late Residents of Kororarika are desirous of expressing our gratitude to you for your gallant exertions in the late affair at the Bay of Island sic and our lively and sincere sympathy with you under your present sufferings from the many and severe wounds by which your life has been seriously endangered whilst defending the wives and children and the lives and property of British Subjects from the attack of an overwhelming body of well armed and determined Savages in open rebellion against the authority of British Law and the Majesty of the British Flag'. The second paragraph refers to 'the Hazards Officers and Crew who accompanied you in the Malava Pass when you so resolutely and completely repulsed a band of upwards of 400 natives'. In the third paragraph the authors state that they 'trust with confidence to the justice of the Rulers of our distant Mother Country'. In the second transcript - 'From The New Zealand Spectator April 5th. 1845' - 'the Settlers' conclude by stating 'That Mr Hector and other Civilians at the Bay of Islands set an example we hope all other Colonists will follow'. The third transcript is from an undated letter 1p. 'To Acting Commander David Robertson H.M.S. Hazard' from 'The settlers of Nelson who had signed the Memorial' praising 'the promptitude with which on a strange element you threw yourself almost single handed between your defenceless Fellow Countrymen and the hord sic of armed savages that was pouring down on them of the gallantry with which you acquitted yourself in the personal encounter and of the personal courage with which you continued to rally your small force till with a broken sword and many musket balls in yr. body you were carried from the field of battle'. The third transcript was published in the Wellington Independent where the original was said to be 'lying at the Examiner office for signature'. TWO: White card 13 x 8 cm with rounded corners carrying printed notice of the Admiral's death from The Times 18 May 1910. An unusual item presumably printed by The Times itself with the notices of six 'DEATHS' beginning with the Admiral's beneath the newspaper's banner and the date 'LONDON WEDNESDAY MAY 18 1910.' In very good condition lightly-aged. THREE: 88 press cuttings of obituaries of the Admiral 74 of them attached to printed slips of three London cuttings agencies 68 from the Temple Press Cutting Offices four from Woolgar & Roberts and one apiece from T. B. Browne Ltd and the General Press Cutting Association Ltd. the others loose.
