1888Best.-Nr. 177281888. Jones Charles C. Negro Myths from the Georgia Coast 1888 presenting a late nineteenth-century compilation of African American folklore recorded in the Gullah dialect of the Georgia and South Carolina coastal region with direct relevance to the study of Black oral traditions linguistic history and post-emancipation cultural expression. The volume gathers fable-like narratives often centered on anthropomorphic animals that reflect storytelling traditions rooted in African diasporic heritage and adapted within enslaved and freed communities of the coastal South. Its use of Gullah a Creole language shaped by West African linguistic structures and English situates the work within ongoing efforts of the period to document vernacular speech and preserve forms of cultural expression that had developed under slavery and persisted into Reconstruction and beyond.

A rare original coastal survey of the border between Georgia and South Carolina including Savannah Ossabaw Island Wassaw Island Skidway Island Tybee Island. Bluffton Beaufort Hilton Head Island Port Royal Island Phillips Island Fripp Island Hunting Island and Parris Island. Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast.

1898Best.-Nr. 13100Chattanooga TN: Sidebottom & Kerr 1898. 48pp. Slim oblong octavo. Original orange-tan wrappers printed in black stapled. Wrappers soiled creased and chipped with contemporary ownership inscription on front wrapper. First and last leaves detached from text block text block itself detached from wrappers. Good only. A scarce historical photobook that doubles as a catalogue for a Chattanooga photography studio at the outset of the Spanish-American War. Named after Union General George H. Thomas Camp Thomas was a massive temporary military training facility established at the Chickamauga Battlefield in Georgia during the Spanish-American War. The camp hosted up to 70000 troops but became a national scandal after deadly disease outbreaks. The work features seventy total monotone photographs from third-page to full-page with brief printed captions and plate sizes memorializing various scenes at Camp Thomas in 1898. The subjects of the photographs include military structures scenes on the training ground soldiers from various state units in small and large groups soldiers hosting local visitors the large corral of horses at the camp monuments inside the camp / national park views of the natural scenery and more. According to explanatory text on the inside front wrapper "the main idea is to show by photograph such scenes of every day occurrence; routine work both on and off duty as will give nearest a correct idea of what the life of a soldier in camp is made of or as you would see him were you on the grounds in person." The rear wrapper reveals an additional motivation for the publication of the work in the form of instructions for ordering any of the photographs featured within. Such is the reasoning behind the plate sizes listed by each example. The Chattanooga studio Sidebottom & Kerr states that "Every Plate in this Book was made expressly for it and having the negative can furnish upon short notice photograph of any plate." The company offers to send the catalogue free of charge to anyone east of the Rocky Mountains. A scarce and unusual photobook that does double duty as a Tennessee photographic studio's order book.

1860Best.-Nr. BK0162Cass County Georgia 1860. Autograph letter signed "John Felton" on lined paper. Possibly written to an S. Slocum with that name verso. 12 x 8 inches. Old folds staining and soiling with chips and short tears at edges; good. An excellent Georgia letter from the first weeks of the secession crisis written twenty days after Abraham Lincoln's election. The writer was almost certainly Captain John Felton 1790-1870 a War of 1812 veteran farmer and longtime Whig who moved to Cass County now Bartow County in 1847. He was the father of future Georgia Congressman William H. Felton and father-in-law of Rebecca Latimer Felton who later became the first woman to serve in the United States Senate. Felton begins with news of poor health drought and the crops before turning to politics: "The whole Country is in an uproar politically we have many Speeches for & Against union & Disunion Tracts & pamphlets in circulation in Order To widen the Breach Between the North & South by those that would be Office Holders. O how we lack a Leader A Washington or a Clay to step in with a Compromise & Calm the Troubled waters but they are gone & left us like a swarm of Bees without a Leader Except Old Beech like a dodo or like an Old Gander that knows nothing but to pick up Trash & throw it Behind Him - from the Signs of the Times I think South Carolina & Ala will secede. What Ga will do is to be Seen." South Carolina seceded less than a month later followed by Alabama and Georgia. Felton's uncertainty about his own state was well placed in Cass County which narrowly elected a delegation opposed to immediate secession; all three of its delegates initially voted against it at the state convention. Felton notes that "This Excitement has caused property to decline" before giving current prices for corn wheat and cotton. He also tells his correspondent that if "the times get Squally in N. York" he hopes he will "Set Sail for what I hope you consider your Southern Home and light awhile at least with us" adding that they would be delighted to receive him. The verso is docketed "S. Slocum"; a Slocum connection to the Feltons is documented as early as 1855-56 when Joseph Slocum was prospecting for copper on what was later recorded as the Felton property.1 1 Joseph P. D.
