1909ref. 76811Chicago: The North-Western Line 1909. Pamphlet. Very good. President William Howard Taft's August 19 1909 presidential proclamation directed that certain lands in the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Reservations be opened to the public for settlement between October 4 and 23 1909. This brochure outlines the opportunity for any United States citizen over the age of 21 who does not already own 160 acres of U.S. land to apply and secure a homestead. Married women were not eligible to apply "unless she has been deserted or abandoned by her husband or unless her husband is incapacitated by disease or otherwise earning support for his family and she is the head and main support of the family." The brochure also provides a description of the lands open to settlement and detailed instructions on the process for registering and selecting the allotted 160-acre tracts. The North-Western Line a subsidiary of the Chicago and North Western Railway was a major economic force in South Dakota beginning in 1878. Federal Indian policy during the period from 1870 to 1910 marked a departure from earlier policies that were dominated by removal treaties reservations and war. The new policy known as the General Allotment Act of 1887 or Dawes Act focused specifically on breaking up reservations and tribal lands by granting land allotments to individual Native Americans. Amendments to the General Allotment Act also made it easier for Indian land to pass into non-Indian hands. The Burke Act 1906 contributed to the ongoing fractionation of lands within reservation boundaries by requiring the government to assess whether individuals were "competent and capable" to manage their land. Printed on both sides of a 32" x 9" sheet that folds to 4" x 9 ¼" 16 panels including a map on one panel by Poole Bros. Chicago. Light soiling; otherwise very good. The North-Western Line unknown

Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) est un général prussien, écrivain et théoricien militaire dont les œuvres, notamment “De la guerre (en allemand : Vom Kriege)”, publiées posthumément, ont eu un impact durable sur la pensée militaire et ont été étudiées par de nombreux stratèges et leaders politiques à travers l'histoire, y compris Lénine, Mao Zedong, et des militaires contemporains. C’est en participant à plusieurs conflits majeurs, notamment les guerres de la Révolution française et les guerres napoléoniennes que Clausewitz s’est forgé son approche dialectique et sa compréhension de la guerre comme un phénomène social et politique. En 1799, Carl von Clausewitz, alors jeune officier prussien, assiste aux campagnes de la seconde coalition en Italie et en Suisse, “cette guerre de montagne”, contre la France révolutionnaire, marquant le début de sa carrière militaire et de son engagement dans les conflits européens dont il tire ici ses premiers enseignements, témoin alors, de l’échec de la coalition d’abord victorieuse puis désunie et défaite face à l’engagement politique des troupes révolutionnaires et la montée en puissance de Napoléon Bonaparte.
