1885réf. 125381New York: Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co. c. 1885. Attractive bronze bust of of Ulysses S. Grant as General of the Army by famed American sculptor Henry Kirke Bush-Brown. The adopted nephew of sculptor Henry Kirke Brown Henry Kirke Bush-Brown was revered for his accurate realist sculptures illustrating American history. He produced three equestrian bronze sculptures erected at the Gettysburg battlefield depicting General George Mead the victor at Gettysburg General John F. Reynolds killed in action July 1 1863 and General John Sedgwick the senior most Union casualty of the American Civil War. In addition Bush-Brown made a bust of Abraham Lincoln dedicated in 1912 as part of the Lincoln Speech Memorial commemorating Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Mounted on a bronze base the entire piece measures 7.75 inches in height. In fine condition. Following the close of the American Civil War Congress revisited the idea of a superior General rank initially intended for bestowal upon George Washington who held the rank of “General and Commander-in-Chief” which was a grade senior to all American major generals and brigadier generals from the American Revolutionary War but only entitled him to the three-star insignia of an Army lieutenant general. On July 25 1866 Congress enacted legislation authorizing the grade of General of the Army and on that same date the new grade was conferred on Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant as a reward for saving the Union in the American Civil War. The grade was recognized and continued in various acts until the Act of July 15 1870 which contained the requirement that “the offices of general and lieutenant general shall continue until a vacancy shall exist in the same and no longer and when such vacancy shall occur in either of said offices shall become inoperative and shall by virtue of this act from thence forward be held to be repealed.” Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co. unknown

1941réf. 49161New York: The Dryden Press 1941. Very good plus. First printing of this anthology of works by Black Americans from the 18th-century poetry of Phillis Wheatley to the 20th-century essays of Alain Locke and much in between. Charles Blockson notes that on its publication in 1941 THE NEGRO CARAVAN was "the most important single volume of Afro-American writing ever published" 58. Its three editors assembled some of the most influential pieces by Black Americans through the 1940s including songs plays narratives of enslaved people poetry essays folk literature and more. Each section is accompanied by a critical introduction contextualizing the pieces in their wider genres and in Black history. THE NEGRO CARAVAN represents a major early effort at defining a canon of Black literature; this is an unusually nice copy. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue cloth boards with gilt and black lettering. No dust jacket. xviii 1082 pages including index. Owner name in pencil to front flyleaf "Tyler Long." Binding with mild wear a touch of dampstaining to lower spine. Leaves with a hint of toning and occasional edgewear. Firm. The Dryden Press unknown books
réf. 10479New York: The Dryden Press 1941. 8vo 8.25" x 5.75" blue cloth gilt spine and title. xvii 1082 pp. Ownership inscription in ink at front paste-down: "From the Library of T. Earl Pardoe." CONDITION: Very good front cover lightly scratched in two places minimal wear. First edition of this "one-thousand-eighty-two-page anthology that not only defined the field of African American literature as a legitimate academic discipline for the first time but by soberly assessing black authors 'without sentimental allowances' on an equal rather than separate basis 'served notice that the Negro author has come of age" Weinstein. Collects African American writers working across short stories novels poetry folk literature drama speeches biography and essays including works by Frederick Douglass Langston Hughes Chester Himes Charles W. Chesnutt Zora Neale Hurston Phillis Wheatley W. E. B. Du Bois Booker T. Washington Katherine Dunham and many others. The breadth of selection not only represents the range of Black writing but allows readers to "appreciate the evolution of black writing in style subject matter and theme in each genre not to mention having the sheer pleasure of reading works of which one had only heard or had never known existed" Lester. Most importantly this anthology presents a counternarrative to the dominant mode of Black representation-characterization by White persons and authors who "believed that "they knew blacks better than blacks knew themselves." As the editors state in their introduction this anthology claimed for African Americans "the responsibility of being the ultimate portrayers of their own."
