1865rif. 126391865. Photographer unknown Rodman cannon tintype photograph circa 1860s documents one of the most important classes of heavy artillery used by the United States during the Civil War and in nineteenth-century coastal defense. The image supports research into Union ordnance technology military engineering and the visual culture of large-scale artillery deployment. Rodman guns developed under the direction of ordnance officer Thomas J. Rodman marked a major expansion in American heavy weapons design and photographs of these guns preserve direct evidence of how such artillery was presented maintained and understood in relation to the men who worked around it. Half plate tintype photograph image approximately 4.5 x 7 inches showing three men posed on and beside a large Rodman cannon mounted on a wheeled rail-supported carriage. The gun's immense barrel dominates the composition with its pronounced rounded breech and upper vent area clearly visible. The carriage rests on a circular rail track designed to allow the piece to be traversed for aiming a system associated with fortified coastal positions and heavy defensive artillery. One man stands beside the carriage while two others are seated or leaning along its structure their bodies providing a clear sense of the cannon's scale. Their caps and work clothing suggest artillery personnel or laborers engaged with the weapon and its mounting rather than a purely studio portrait setting. Rodman guns were introduced in the 1850s and became central to American heavy ordnance during the Civil War especially in siege and harbor defense contexts where large-caliber smoothbore cannon were required to fire explosive shells against ships and fixed fortifications. This photograph is valuable not only for the weapon itself but for the relationship it establishes between industrial-scale artillery and the human figures tasked with operating it. The image records mid-nineteenth-century military technology in a direct and legible form with the rail carriage and posed attendants making the engineering purpose immediately visible. Minor surface wear and edge rounding consistent with nineteenth-century tintypes; overall good condition. A strong documentary image of Civil War era heavy artillery and the material scale of Union ordnance production. unknown books

2010rif. 11061Salt Lake City: Signature Books 2010. First Edition. 1/500. 794pp. Octavo 24 cm Gray cloth with a tan cloth wraparound. Near fine. This is the twelfth title published in the Signature Books 'Significant Mormon Diaries' series. This work was limited to 500 numbered copies this copy is number 366. Abraham Hoagland Cannon 1859-1896 lived his life in the shadow of his father the prominent politician businessman and LDS Church First Presidency member George Q. Cannon 1827-1901. Abraham died fairly young and spent his entire Apostolic tenure as the junior member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. For these and other reasons he is almost unknown in the LDS Church today. Perhaps the single most important thing he did in his life - after his Apostolic ministry - was to keep a marvelously complete and detailed journal. It is this journal that brings him out of historical obscurity and grants us the precious record of an Apostle who witnessed Church history in the making. Signature Books unknown books

1886rif. 10613Salt Lake City: Deseret News Company 1886. First Edition. 19pp. Octavo 21 cm About very good. Lacks wrappers. An open letter by the First Presidency that was sent out to be read at a General Conferences in Provo instead of in person at the Tabernacle due to the Polygamy raids than be conducted by federal marshals throughout the Territory to locate and arrest known bigamists. In this short work Taylor writes of the challenges the Church was facing due to anti-polygamy legislation and the importance of continuing the practice of plural marriage. "The cry of polygamy has made a good battle cry: this has called the fanatical element into line; but underneath and above this question of polygamy and completely enveloping it has been the design to destroy our rights as citizens to take away from us our liberties under the Constitution and the laws and to obtain the political control of our country so that being as voiceless in the affairs of government as the Indians or Chinese we could be taxed and plundered with impunity and be lorded over by a set of political harpies who would revel and fatten at our expense." John Taylor 1808 - 1887 was third president of the LDS Church from 1880 to 1887. He is the first and so far only president of the LDS Church to have been born outside the United States. He was with Joseph Smith when he was murdered at the Carthage Jail and led the Church during the Polygamy raid period. Flake/Draper 1662. [Deseret News Company unknown books
