A COMPLETE HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL AMERICAN ATLAS BEING A GUIDE TO THE HISTORY OF NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA AND THE WEST INDIES: EXHIBITING AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF THE DISCOVERY SETTLEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THEIR VARIOUS KINGDOMS STATES PROVINCES &c. TOGETHER WITH THE WARS CELEBRATED BATTLES AND REMARKABLE EVENTS TO THE YEAR 1822.

1823réf. 58505Philadelphia: H.C. Carey & I. Lea 1823. One of the Most Important Early Atlases Printed in the United States A handsome atlas of the Americas with individual color maps of each state in the Union including a seminal map of the West by Stephen H. Long. At the time of publication this was the best and most detailed atlas to be produced in the United States with substantial historical background text accompanying each map. Fielding Lucas the major Baltimore printer was the principal engraver. Among the most noted maps in the atlas is Major Stephen H. Long's "Map of Arkansa and other Territories of the United States." That map which depicts the Missouri basin between Nashville in the east the Mandan villages in the north and the Rocky Mountains in the west was based on the surveys conducted by Long on his expeditions of 1819 and 1820. The map published in Carey & Lea's atlas preceded the official account of that expedition by expedition botanist Edwin James which includes a smaller map with similar detail titled "Country drained by the Mississippi Western Section." Carey & Lea's 1823 publication of James' Account perhaps explains the prior inclusion of this map with Long expedition information in their atlas. On this famous map is the printed legend which would perpetuate a myth for many years to come identifying the high plains as the "Great American Desert." Carey & Lea's atlas was first issued in 1822; this is the second issue with revised states of three maps Maine North Carolina and Louisiana with the same printing of the remaining maps and a cancel title.

THE SOUTH-WESTERN MONTHLY A JOURNAL DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND SCIENCE EDUCATION THE MECHANIC ARTS AND AGRICULTURE. VOLUME I - II.

1852réf. 16070Nashville. 1852. Extremely Rare: A Remarkable Collection of Narratives A very rare complete set of this interesting and important Tennessee periodical containing all twelve articles entitled "Early History of the Southwest" which constitute the main interest of the magazine for modern readers. After the magazine ceased publication with the December 1852 issue the editors followed their intention stated in their last editorial and gathered all of the narratives into a book issued in January 1853 entitled INDIAN BATTLES MURDERS SEIGES sic AND FORAYS IN THE SOUTH-WEST. ".This was a collection of narratives by various authors. These had appeared separately as articles in the SOUTH WESTERN MONTHLY MAGAZINE printed in Nashville during the years 1851-52. The magazines are considered frontier periodicals of extreme rarity - the 1853 book.is all but unobtainable. Apparently few copies of the book were printed judging from the very few times one finds records of its sale." - Allen. The actual first appearances in print of all of the items in the book are the periodical versions. Articles include "Sketch of the Captivity of Col. Joseph Brown" "The Indian Massacres in the Vicinity of Bosley's Spring." "Indian Murders around Nashville - Narrative of John Davis Esq." "Scalping of Thomas Everett and his two sisters near Buchanan's Fort." "Indian Battles and Murders - Narrative of General Hall" "Perils attending emigration from Virginia to the West.burning of Sigler's Fort. Narrative of John Carr" "The levy of men sent out from North Carolina.narrative of Mr. Samuel Blair" "Narrative of John Rains" "Massacre at Cavet's Station." Virtually all of the narratives describe Indian fights in Tennessee between the 1780s and the War of 1812. An important rarity of warfare on the Old Southwest frontier. This set has a remarkably large number of plates; other sets we know of have far fewer. All seem to be remainders from New York publications used as illustrations without regard to text. Later three-quarter black morocco and cloth spines gilt with raised bands. Light rubbing and wear especially to edges and corners head of spine on second volume chipping slightly. Ownership inscription on verso of each frontispiece bookplate on rear pastedowns. First volume with ink stamp on pastedown and titlepage. Lightly foxed. Some light wear and soiling. Very good.

Publications of the Associated Publishers Inc

1926réf. 12838Washington DC: The Associated Publishers Inc 1926. 8pp. Illustrated. Original self wrappers stapled. Light toning and thumb-soiling. Very good. with: Pictures of Distinguished Negroes. Washington DC: The Associated Publishers Inc. 1927. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Folded with short separations to upper fold lines. Light toning. Very good. An informative pair of promotional pamphlets issued by the Associated Publishers a notable African-American publishing house during the early-20th century. Both works provide a valuable peek into the marketing of books and images to the African-American community in the early-20th century. The first work Publications of the Associated Publishers Inc. is a catalogue of currently available publications listed by title author and other specific details with descriptions of each book at varying lengths. The authors represented here include Carter Woodson numerous titles here Kelly Miller Robert Kerlin Booker T. Washington Paul Laurence Dunbar and others. Three works including the Washington and Dunbar are given full-page illustrated treatment here. The penultimate page includes a listing of all the "Works Produced by the Association since its Organization September 9 1915." Our proposed date for the work comes from the fact that the first two books listed -- the only two books listed on the first page -- were published in 1926. OCLC lists different versions of Associated Publishers catalogues issued between 1924 and the 1960s but we do not locate the present version. The second work present here advertises collections of portraits of notable African-American leaders authors musicians artists and more touted as "The history of the Negro race told with the pictures of its great men and women." The front cover of the brochure is illustrated with portraits of Frederick Douglass Booker T. Washington Paul Laurence Dunbar and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The main thrust of the work includes a dozen themed groups of pictures offered under titles such as "Negroes Internationally Known" "Negro Women of Distinction" "Negroes of Genius" and so forth. In total the brochure offers portraits of over 150 prominent African American figures. Also available are larger-format photographs measuring 11 x 14 inches featuring "Eleven Distinguished Negroes." The brochure ends with an order form. Dating this brochure is challenging because of the rarity of both the brochure and the photographs it advertises. OCLC lists just one record under this title comprising a hundred pictures dated 1927. Harlem bookseller Lewis Michaux repurposed the present brochure in the 1950s perhaps to advertise the remainder of photographs not originally sold by Associated. Associated Publishers was a publishing company founded in 1921 by Carter G. Woodson 1875-1950 a "Father of Black History." Woodson was an African American historian and journalist and a founder of both the Association for the Study of African American Life and History ASALH and The Journal of Negro History. The son of formerly enslaved parents Woodson earned a Ph.D. in history at Harvard only the second African American to do so after W.E.B. DuBois. Confronted with the realization that major publishing companies showed no interest in producing works related to African American life and history Woodson organized The Associated Publishers as an outlet for publishing papers books translations and other materials related to African American culture.
