1843rif. BK0115Jackson Michigan 1843. Broadside 7 ¾ x 10 ½ inches. Single sheet printed in black. Old folds with short separations and small losses at several fold intersections and along the edges with general handling wear good overall. An early Jackson Michigan broadside issued by S. T. Carr offering ten dollars for the return of a wallet lost two days earlier on the road between the tavern of W. H. Monroe in Jackson and the Parma House. Carr describes the missing property in some detail: "A CALF-SKIN WALLET containing about sixty dollars in cash mostly in small bills one thirty dollar note and some papers of no value to any one except the owner. The inside of the wallet was marked S. T. Carr." Carr directed that the wallet be returned to him at Monroe's Exchange promising the reward "and no questions asked." Carr and W. H. Munroe appear together again two years later in the early history of Michigan's iron industry. In July 1845 they were among the Jackson men who organized an association to explore the mineral country south of Lake Superior. That fall Carr Munroe Philo M. Everett and E. S. Rockwell traveled north as an exploring party. Michigan mining histories record that Carr and Rockwell working with an Indigenous guide located the iron outcrop that became the Jackson mine; Carr continued the final search for the outcrop alone. The Jackson association subsequently became the Jackson Mining Company one of the earliest enterprises to develop the Marquette Iron Range.1 1 T. B. Brooks "Geological Survey of Michigan.

1940rif. 234851940. A substantial archive documenting the trucks drivers terminals accidents repairs freight operations and working life of the Michigan Tri-State Motor Express trucking company of Benton Harbor Michigan dating primarily from the late 1930s through the 1950s. The company grew from the Mammina Brothers transport business established by Joseph and Benjamin Mammina after their experience with heavy transport vehicles during American military service in World War I. By 1938 Joseph Mammina's independent Michigan Tri-State Motor Express operated sixty-four trucks across four Midwestern states part of the enormous transformation of American freight hauling that accelerated during the interwar and postwar years as trucks increasingly challenged railroads for regional cargo traffic. Photo archive of 122 loose silver gelatin photographs each measuring between 2.5" x 3.25" to 3" x 4". The photographs show fleets of branded Michigan Tri-State trucks and trailers lined in depots and freight yards; drivers posing beside International GMC and other commercial tractors; loading docks; warehouse operations; trailers marked "Michigan Tri-State Motor Express"; long-haul rigs parked along highways; winter driving conditions; damaged trailers; overturned freight trucks; accident recovery scenes; and mechanics standing beside wrecked equipment. Several photographs bear handwritten dates including 1940 1941 and 1950. Drivers appear repeatedly across the archive often photographed informally beside assigned vehicles emphasizing the labor force that sustained Midwestern freight circulation before interstate highways transformed American trucking after 1956. This collection showcases an intimate documentation of a regional trucking company during the period when motor freight became essential to American industrial and commercial distribution. During the Depression and World War II years trucking firms carried factory goods agricultural products machine parts and retail freight between Midwestern industrial cities and rural markets operating within a rapidly expanding road network shaped by New Deal infrastructure projects and wartime logistics demands. The accident scenes and roadside breakdowns visible throughout the archive also preserve the hazards of early commercial trucking before modern highway engineering federal safety regulation and standardized freight systems reshaped long-distance transport. Minor curling and edgewear some edges clipped and some toning throughout. Overall good condition. Collectively the photographs document the human and mechanical infrastructure of regional freight hauling during one of the decisive transitional periods in twentieth-century American commerce. unknown

1805rif. 38811Washington: A. & G. Way 1805. The appeal of Michigan Territory governor William Hull and territorial judge August Woodward to Congress requesting action from them on the deplorable conditions of the proposed capital in Detroit and the status of several peoples found to be inhabiting the territory. The official government of Michigan was set to begin on June 30 1805 but when the Governor arrived he found Detroit nearly entirely destroyed by fire and numerous people both squatting on the ruins and dispersed throughout the nearby area including into the British territory. Hull and Woodward claim that the various treaties signed with the British do not clarify who has proper claim to the land and they add that the continuance of an indulgence for the Wiandot Indians to stay in Maguaga and Brown's town remains in question. They tentatively propose that Congress might make citizens of the Wiandot to settle the matter permanently. An excellent and concise history of the situation in Michigan at the time.

19271st edition. Original paper wrappers, 16mo (small), 7 pages ; 25 cm (folded to 14 cm in wrappers). "Correspondence between Henry Ford, Louis Marshall and Herman Bernstein. Settlement of Aaron Sapiro's and Herman Bernstein's libel suits" (From the front cover). During the 1920s, Henry Ford gained as much fame for his antisemitic views as for his cars. His newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, published dozens of articles between 1920 and 1925 naming prominent Jewish Americans as conspirators in a plot to overthrow governments all over the world. Though hardly the first of their kind, the accusations in the Dearborn Independent represented the broadest, most sustained published attack on individual Jews and Jews as a group in the nations history. The articles created clear grounds for defamation and libel actions against Ford and the newspaper, and several were filed. In 1927 one lawsuit, Sapiro v. Ford, made it into court, generating international headlines, only to end in mistrial. Ford then disposed of the distasteful affair by signing a statement in which he apologized for the wrongs he had 'unintentionally' done to Jews. Ford's campaign against the Jews, as historians have recognized, reflected the renewed racial tribalism that characterized post-World War I American society (Woeste, Insecure Equality: Louis Marshall, Henry Ford, and the Problem of Defamatory Antisemitism, 1920-1929 in Journal of American History, Dec. 2004). The importance of the end result, here spelled out in this rare period publication, was summarized by Robert Rifkind in his 2008 examination Confronting Antisemitism in America: Louis Marshall and Henry Ford: Putting aside historical revisionism, it becomes clear that the Ford apology achieved a number of things no libel suit could have achieved. First, in broad and unambiguous strokes, Ford repudiated the defamation of Jews in general and not merely the particular claims asserted in the lawsuits. Second, the apology did so with dispatch rather than after further protracted delay. Third, Ford undertook to withdraw The International Jew from circulation both in the United States and abroad, and at least while Marshall remained alive, he seems to have done so. A jury sitting in an action for monetary damages could not have compelled such a result. And finally, a confession, retraction, and apology appearing in Fords name and over Fords signature carried the impressive force of a world-famous mana force that twelve anonymous jurors, easily dismissed as misled by lawyers wiles, could never have had (American Jewish History, Vol. 94, No. 1/2, March/June 2008, pp. 71-90). SUBJECT(S): Antisemitism -- Michigan -- Dearborn. Jews -- Trials (Libel) -- Antise´mitisme -- Juifs -- Proce`s (Diffamation) -- Dearborn independent. OCLC: 264355930. OCLC lists only 3 copies worldwide (Harvard, YIVO, Yale Law), none outside the Northeast.
