2010réf. 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

réf. 10055Cortland New York: Lelover & Schutt 1889. Albumen print 5.375" x 3.875" on larger gilt mount inscribed by DeMond on verso: "A. L. DeMond. Trumansburg. N.Y. '89." CONDITION: Very good. A scarce and early signed cabinet card portrait of a pioneering African American activist and minister who looked to the history of Black excellence as a map for America's future and preached at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church fifty years before Martin Luther King Jr. Abraham Lincoln DeMond was born in Seneca New York in 1867 the youngest child of Quam DeMond and Phebe Cuffe Darrow grand-niece of the famous African American and Wampanoag sea captain Paul Cuffee. After becoming the first Black graduate of what is now SUNY Cortland DeMond studied theology at Howard University. His most famous speech-subsequently published in pamphlet form by the Emancipation Proclamation Association-was given on Jubilee Day of 1900 that is January 1st at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama. Half a century later the church welcomed Martin Luther King Jr. as its pastor and became the launching point for the Montgomery bus boycott and the Civil Rights movement. DeMond's address "The Negro Element in American Life" lauds antislavery activists including Frederick Douglass and Henry Highland Garnet and examples of Black excellence among them Phillis Wheatley and Benjamin Banneker and situates African Americans at the heart of the nation's progress. He frames the Emancipation Proclamation as "essential to the fulfilling" of the Declaration of Independence: "Both were born in days of doubt and darkness. Both were the outcome of injustice overleaping the bounds of right and reason.Without the Declaration of Independence the nation could not have been born; without the Emancipation Proclamation it could not have lived." DeMond served as pastor of the First Congregational Church in Montgomery Alabama; the Plymouth Congregational Church in Charleston South Carolina; the First Congregational Church of New Orleans; and the First Congregational Church in the extraordinary town of Buxton the "Black man's utopia in Iowa." He and his wife Selma University graduate and music teacher Lula Watkins Patterson had five children. DeMond died in 1936. The cabinet card offered here shows a young mustachioed DeMond in crisp white collar and dark suit his hair parted at the center. Taken by Lelover & Schutt of Cortland New York this portrait may have been made upon DeMond's graduation from the Cortland Normal School in June of 1899. A month later his mother died in Trumansburg New York a town in which they had briefly stayed following the death of his father in 1877 and where Phebe had returned in 1886. After his mother's passing DeMond preached to a packed Methodist Church there and probably signed this card during the same stay. A wonderful early portrait of this soon-to-be influential Black minister signed by him the year he became the first Black graduate of what is now SUNY Cortland.

Polonsky's biographers call the novel as "his major literary contribution to the war effort" and one contemporary reviewer noted that it had "all the sure-fire ingredients" for a movie scenario although his career as a screenwriter wouldn't really start up until after the war -- "action brawls intrigue and suspense" -- as the aforementioned pair uncovered a Nazi plot to scuttle the vessel midway through its voyage. .
