1885rif. 2007Philadelphia: S.n. 1885. Leather over boards. Oblong duodecimo. 54 leaves. Near fine. Leather over thin board with gilt-stamped upper board. Professionally restored with about half of the original gilt-ornamented spine retained. Wesson's name card laid down on front pastedown. A fantastic and eclectic trove of 19th century autographs collected by one Edward Wesson apparently associated with the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia. The autographs range from military figures to actors and actresses singers diplomats explorers and more. Some of the most notable figures whose autographs appear here include Ulysses S. Grant Edwin Booth William Tecumseh Sherman P. T. Barnum King David KalÄkaua of Hawaii Henry Ward Beecher David Ross Locke aka 'Petroleum V. Nasby' and Hannibal Hamlin Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln. There are also autographs from survivors of the tragic Jeanette Expedition to the Arctic including John W. Danenhower Louis P. Noros William F. C. Nindemann and George W. Melville. Among the other entertainment figures of the day to sign Mr. Wesson's album were actresses Maggie Mitchell and Emma Abbott and several others. Of the 54 leaves only 5 are blank on both sides with the remaining 49 having autographs on one or both sides and one autograph on the recto of rear free endpaper for a total of 57 autographs in all. The album originated at Philadelphia's Continental Hotel one of the grandest and most socially prominent establishments of the 19th century. Opened in 1860 and famed for hosting presidents generals and celebrities-including Abraham Lincoln who stayed there en route to his 1861 inauguration-the Continental stood as a national landmark until its 1924 demolition to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Apart from a single tipped‑in signature from a Mayor of Mt. Vernon NY every autograph in this volume is penned directly onto its original pages. This is of vital significance because unlike albums assembled from clipped signatures from various sources this is a continuous artifact: the very book that moved through the hands of each signer. To hold it now is to experience that unique connection with each of the historical figures who once inscribed it. A truly remarkable artifact. (S.n.) unknown

RARE FIRST EDITION IN A VERY PLEASING STATE OF PRESERVATION. VERY RARE IN THIS FORMAT CONDITION AND DELUXE BINDING STATE. ‘THE FINEST MEMOIRS OF WAR EVER PENNED’. An important historical memoir of the Civil War arguably the most important and the best thing that Grant ever wrote. General Norman Schwartzkopf has recently called this the finest memoir of war experiences that has ever been penned. Collectible copies of these books are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Copies in this binding especially so. The earliest days of the Civil War were a hard lesson in hubris for the Union Army. After the appointment of Grant to overall command of the Union forces the war would quickly turn to their favor. Probably the most important book on the American Civil War and in many respects a masterpiece of American literature. David Eicher"s useful summary includes this fine judgment: "Grant’s MEMOIRS comprise one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history . . . The work is genuinely that of the commander. As such it is valuable in its scope its plain and clear analysis and language and its broad conclusions about the conduct of the war. "In the years following the war Grant would move into the political arena even against his best judgment and would with great public acclaim be elected President of United States for two full terms.
