1793ref. 003579Original letter. NELSON Horatio; HOOD Admiral Samuel Autograph letter signed to an unidentified correspondent written from HMS Victory off Toulon Road 20 November 1793. One leaf written on both sides folio 340 × 190 mm written in a secretarial hand and signed by Hood on the reverse side. Paper browned and water-stained multiple edge losses several fold splits and small holes fragile but just about legible throughout. A fair condition letter. Despite its distressed condition this is an exceptional field-worn survivor of one of the pivotal naval operations of the French Revolutionary War directly connecting Hood Nelson and the rise of Napoleon. Writing from his flagship Victory Hood laments the failure of his correspondent to send adequate reinforcements to the besieged allied garrison in Toulon: "It is extremely painful to me to observe that your Excellency's backwardness in sending succours to the full extent of the powers of the Garrison. is most truly dispiriting I wish it may not prove disastrous in the extreme." He warns that "five or six hundred more men by the Terrible or Egmont would have been of far greater service than as many thousands can possibly be a month hence" and closes in frustration that "at this moment I only received from Gibraltar about 103 of British" signing off "Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servant Hood." The letter dates from the critical final weeks of the Toulon campaign when Hood and his subordinate officers-including the young Captain Horatio Nelson then commanding HMS Agamemnon-attempted to hold the port against Republican forces commanded in part by a little-known artillery officer Napoleon Bonaparte. Within a month of this letter the allied defence collapsed and Hood was forced to evacuate his fleet marking both Nelson's first combat distinction and the opening act of Napoleon's rise to power. .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 96 pp. ; 69 col. Illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Between May 1804 and September 1806 Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery explored a new expanse of America known as the Louisiana Purchase. They encountered lands rivers and peoples previously unknown Americans east of the Mississippi. During the next sixty-five years Lewis and Clark's journey was followed by other explorations of the West from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean and from Canada to Mexico. Artists often accompanied explorers as they encountered the unexpected and unique subjects of the American West. Inspired by the thrill of adventure and the majesty of high mountains great chasms and wide-open spaces artists became eyewitnesses and visual commentators of the changing shape of the frontier-- and the tragic displacement of American Indian tribes. As these artists sought to capture on paper and canvas what they saw during their explorations and travels they gave birth to American western art. After Lewis and Clark highlights more than sixty paintings drawings and prints in the collection of one of America's finest museums of American art the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa Oklahoma. This richly illustrated book presents and places in aesthetic and historical context many of the priceless portraits striking scenes and grand landscapes inspired during the sixty-five years after the Corps of Discovery completed its epic journey. It features the works of notable artists of the nineteenth-century American West including George Catlin Karl Bodmer Alfred Jacob Miller Charles Bird King Paul Kane Seth Eastman Carl Wimar John Mix Stanley Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran. . 2006. 0806199598 .
