1967réf. WRCAM56249Harar Ethiopia 1967. Three postcards one customs tag one piece of currency and forty-one photographs one in color most tab-mounted ranging in size from 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 to 5 x 8 inches. Most of the photographs with accompanying manuscript descriptions in pencil on paper tab-mounted beside the photos. Folio. Scrapbook album with stiff paper- covered boards string-tied binding. Light wear and soiling to boards light tanning to index cards and album leaves. Very good. Extensively-annotated photograph album covering Kenneth Fields' life and adventures in and around Harar Ethiopia during his military service there in the late 1960s. Almost all of the photos in the album are accompanied by substantial captions from Fields on mounted index cards. Fields put this together as a travelogue starting with three postcards home to his wife Irma from each of his layovers on the way to Addis Ababa Rome Athens and Cairo. He arrived in Harar on July 23 1967 and the first photo is an image of the house he and MSgt. Seery share "rented for us by the American Embassy." Then follow photos of their pet baboons Cheesy and Ishy who is "a mess.loves beer & cigarettes better than anything." They also have a donkey Thelma and a watch dog Spot. He then provides a photo tour of the house and a summary of his expenses: for a guard "sabanya" a cook Tinish and maid Tinish's daughter Alllimus his share is $17 a month. Fields spent a significant time hunting - there are several images of him with other soldiers on expeditions posing with gazelles and kudus. One photo includes "our helper Tashoma.a little 15 or 16 year old kid the group has kinda adopted. He helps out around the house & goes to the field with us.the boys are trying to get him into Haille Sallaisie sic University." There are also images of a small zoo nearby a "typical Ethiopian house" the local cemetery and the central market in Harar. The last few photos depict a more formal dinner party with Ethiopian officials but Fields does not provide any captions. Fields never describes his duties or mission in any detail but in 1953 a U.S.-Ethiopian Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement was signed and U.S. military advisors established several semi-permanent installations in Ethiopia to help reorganize the Imperial Ministry of National Defense. American "advisors" were also active in helping Ethiopia fight against the Somali Republic and Eritrean Liberation Front rebels. The Ministry's Third Division was headquartered at Harar which is also where the Imperial Military Academy was located. Kenneth Q. Fields 1937-2012 of Sanford Florida spent his career in the Army serving in Korea and Vietnam and retiring with the rank of master sergeant. hardcover books

réf. 403957-3/4 x 5-3/4 inches. 1 vols. Fine. 7-3/4 x 5-3/4 inches. 1 vols. The Last Coptic Metropolitan of Ethiopia. Until the mid-twentieth century the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was a Copt appointed by the Coptic Patriarchate in Egypt. In 1929 four native Ethiopian bishops were ordained to assist the Coptic Metropolitan. Subsequently with the support of Emperor Haile Selassie reigned 1930-1974 an agreement was reached with the Copts in 1948 providing for the election of an ethnic Ethiopian Metropolitan to succeed the Metropolitan Kyrillos. Thus when he died in 1951 an assembly of clergy and laity elected an Ethiopian Basilios as Metropolitan and the autonomy of the Ethiopian Church was established; eight years later he was confirmed by the Coptic Patriarchate as the first Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. unknown books

The colonial Mining Service in Italian Ethiopia commenced gold exploration in 1936 initially focusing on placer mining near Tulu Kapi in the south-west of the country. “The valorization of Western regions of Ethiopia was entrusted to S.A.P.I.E.-PRASSO and to the Societa Mineraria Italo-Tedesca S.M.I.T. <…> The operational infrastructure of S.A.P.I.E. had a clear military setting: the prospecting groups called “Colonne” corps reported to the General Directorate of Research with offices in Yubdo and were coordinated by a specialist engineer. In Yubdo there was also a laboratory for the analysis of samples collected during the various prospecting stages. Each corps was formed by 35/40 Italian and indigenous men often escorted by Ascari Eritrean soldiers embedded in the Italian colonial army and was dedicated to the exploration of a specific district <…>” Granitzio F. & others.

1863réf. 162461Ethiopia: c. 1863. A duplicitous envoy at the heart of the Abyssinian court Two sketches attributed to M. Bardel a French diplomat who befriended Emperor Tewodros II in the build-up to the Abyssinia Expedition. They show an Ethiopian's head in profile as a mock-up for a cannon engraving and Bardel dressed in the emperor's armour. When Charles Cameron British consul to Abyssinia arrived in the country in 1862 he was accompanied by one Bardel a Frenchman who was assumed to be his secretary. A dispute led the the two to part ways after which Bardel entered the service of the emperor. Keen to deepen his European connections Tewodros entrusted Bardel to carry a letter to Napoleon III. However the Frenchman never received an audience and returned with a likely forged reply telling Tewodros that Napoleon did not approve of his erratic and often violent actions. He also informed Tewodros of uncomplimentary journal entries written by the Anglican missionary Henry Aaron Stern. This combined with the emperor's growing mistrust of Europeans and anger at being snubbed by their royal houses led him to order the arrest and torture of Cameron Stern and all other Europeans in 1864. The treatment of the prisoners resulted in the 1868 British expedition to Abyssinia led by Charles Napier. The captions on the first sketch read "Abyssian sic Head & the way they part their hair" and "This was done by Mr. Bardel for King Theodore & was a design of a warrior to be engraved on the celebrated big gun as per instructions in French he was rewarded by a present of 10 cows but the design was never carried out - June 1868". There are reports that Tewodros had the words "Theodore the Scourge of the Peverse" inscribed on his cannon. The captions on the second sketch read "Abyssian sic native prisoner being led to execution" and "Mr Bardel dressed in King Theodore's armour". Two ink sketches with brown watercolour on paper 89 x 65 mm and 133 x 70 mm each mounted on larger sheet 145 x 255 mm and 172 x 253 mm. Contemporary ink and pencil captions paper slip with contemporary manuscript ink caption affixed onto one sheet. Foxing and toning larger sheets chipped along one edge: very good. unknown
