Montgomery Alabama: John G. Stokes & Co. State Printers 1870. 7 1 blank pp. Stitched in original printed green wrappers. Light old folds wrappers lightly spotted Very Good. Contemporary inscription at head of front wrapper "Respects of G. Horton Mobile." A Bostonian who had moved to Mobile as a young man Horton was Mayor of Mobile at this time. Previously he had been an advocate of public education and had served on Mobile's school board. During the Civil War he was jailed for Unionist sympathies. During Reconstruction his advocacy of civil rights placed his life in constant danger.<br/><br/> The Report is a chapter in Alabama's bitter Reconstruction strife. It attacks Dr. N.B. Cloud State Superintendent of Public Instruction who was regarded by unreconstructed Alabamans as a Scalawag for his support of Reconstruction and the Republican Party. The Report also attacks G.L. Putnam whom Cloud had named Mobile's superintendent of education an appointment which other Mobile educators refused to recognize. Cloud brokered a compromise-- for which he lacked authority-- by making Putnam superintendent of Emerson College known as the 'Blue School' a Negro school run by the American Missionary Association. The Report accuses Cloud and Putnam of illegally diverting public funds to the support of the Blue School.<br/>Ellison 1597. OCLC locates five copies as of August 2014 under two accession numbers.

Fair. This copy has character! Sort of pale olive binding instead of the cream that is pictured. This was a high school text with the names of several girls inside the font cover pencil marks on cover many notations on fly leaf. Text itself is very clean and well cared for surprise surprise! there is a sketch of a "stylin'" lady/girl of the day on back fly leaf. Binding is cracked by title page and last page of index but no loosening of pages. Just a fun look at a schoolbook and styles/designs of the past. unknown
