Half a century later, the brilliance of Hart's achievement is undimmed. An outstanding record from one of the greatest commanders of the war. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.374.

1877Best.-Nr. 23994Dublin: The Central Tenants' Defense Committee 1877. First printing. Hardcover. Good overall. The trial of returned convict John Sarsfield Casey an activist defender of Irish tenant farmers who earlier in his career wrote letters to Fenian newspapers as 'The Galtee Boy' which were used in his 1865 trial to support a charge of treason and a sentence of transportation to Australia. Casey was one of the 62 Fenians transported to Western Australia. He was granted a free pardon in 1869 and returned to Dublin in 1870. The 1877 trial recorded here was brought against Casey in Ireland by the agent for a wealthy land owner Nathaniel Buckley named Patten Smith Bridge. Bridge had imposed enormous rent increases on the Galtee Mountain tenant farmers; he alleged that Casey's articles to the press about the excessive rent increases had libeled him. Huge rents increases and the inability of farmers to pay resulted in whole families being thrown out of their homes; Casey knew these facts from personal experience as some of these tenants were his relatives. The trial lasted 8 days; Bridge's claim for damages against Casey was repudiated. 8vo vii 98pp. Deaccessed by the NY Association of the Bar Library with their stamp on the title page.

Contemporary bibliographies confirm the 44-page collation and map. Very good with light soiling and minor wear to wrappers. The first published account of Giovanni Capellini's scientific journey through North America in 1863 with particularly good material on Nebraska and the Missouri River frontier during the Civil War. Capellini sailed from Liverpool in August stopped at Halifax and continued to Boston and Cambridge where Louis Agassiz and Jules Marcou assisted his preparations. He then traveled through Canada and the Midwest before reaching St. Joseph Missouri and moving north by steamboat into Nebraska. At St. Joseph he found the region troubled by guerrillas and the city under martial law; before leaving he had to obtain permission from the military command to purchase arms and ammunition. From there he traveled aboard the Denver to Omaha and explored from Council Bluffs northward through Florence De Soto Tekamah Decatur Blackbird and the country around Sioux City before returning through Omaha Bellevue and Nebraska City. Capellini spent time among the Omaha and Ponca at Blackbird recording village names population figures chiefs houses clothing schooling at the Presbyterian mission and objects he acquired. He met the Omaha leaders La Flèche and Ga-he-gu-zhi-ga and describes the pressure of white settlement on the tribes calling them people "for whom civilization means the same thing as death."

1979Best.-Nr. 27309Salt Lake City:: University of Utah Press 1979. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Hervey Johnson of Hillsboro Ohio was a private in the 11th Ohio Cavalry stationed in the mid-1860s at a string of small posts along the Sweetwater River from Independence Rock to South Pass 100 miles to the west. Their main duty was to protect the line of the transcontinental telegraph—“the line” he calls it here. Frequently the line was cut by American Indian tribesmen; often large portions of the line were carried away to make it more difficult to repair During his three years in the Army Johnson wrote about 100 letters home to his sisters and mother in Ohio. The family were Quakers so he often uses the pronouns “thee” and “thy” instead of “you” and “your.” From various sources at the time he heard about the July 25 1865 battle at Platte Bridge Station. At the time he wrote this letter Johnson was stationed at a post on the Sweetwater near Independence Rock about 55 miles west of Platte Bridge which he generally refers to here as “the Bridge.” University of Utah Press, unknown
