Oblong 4to. 120 pp unpaginated. with 200 silver gelatin photographs all mounted and numbered in lower corner w/in negative keyed to indices inserted after the title page occasional creasing to corners. Brick-red publisher’s cloth post-binder two hidden nickel-plated screwposts at gutter margin 40th Infantry Division sunburst emblem patch on front cover in gilt on blue field minor thumbing edgewear slightly shaken occasional fraying to a couple leaves at fore-edge still a VG copy. First edition thus of this 40th Infantry Division regimental souvenir album visually recording the Western National Guard “Sunshine Division’s” participation in the grueling and bloody island hopping campaign during World War II from Guadalcanal to The Philippines often involved in heavy fighting and credited with capturing or killing over 11000 Japanese troops while suffering 715 casualties. These photographs follow the 40th Division’s arrival and activities in Hawaii followed by their movement to Guadalcanal and arrival at Kukum Dock. Photos depict wrecked Japanese ships beached nearby the typical bare-breasted shots of New Britain Indigenous Peoples arrival of nurse units and training on New Britain. As depicted in these images the bloody Philippine Islands campaign opened with multiple regiments from the 40th Division landing at the Lingayen Gulf on Luzon in order to retake the main Philippine Island in January 1945 including views of Tarlac Bamban battle damage artillery pieces war dogs used by segregated African-American patrols on Luzon well-prepared Japanese positions built to repel the American forces machine gunners Japanese casualties and the results of Japanese troops using grenades to commit Hari Kari.The next phase of the campaign involved the 40th Division participating in the Panay & Guimaras Invasion landing at Tigbauan on Panay Island securing Iloilo City and nearby airfields coordinating with Philippine guerrilla forces with photos of the guerrillas views of the landing craft Philippine peoples and guerrillas wounded by Japanese snipers being treated by American forces and the Division artillery. The 40th Division later came together with other forces and moved onto Negros Island from the end of March through August 1945 pushing deep into Negros Island capturing Bacolod and its airfield before continuing on in the heavy surrounding jungle dislodging Japanese troops in the surrounding area. Their artillery and tank battalions proved particularly effective and many of these photographs depict not only the movements and equipment but the aftermath as well. This album does not include the National Guard Division’s participation in the enforcement of the orders to round up and illegally incarcerate Japanese-Americans throughout the West into War Relocation Centers and Internment Camps for the duration of the War.

With ca. 90 mounted original gelatin silver photographs and 2 postcards from ca. 14x85 cm 5 ½x3¼ in to ca. 109x65 cm 4 ¼ x 2½ in. Some photos with period caption in negative citing ‘Banzon photos’ likely a local studio the others without captions. Two Real Photo Color Postcards in The Collection Show the Subano Women and Nagasaki View. Both are mounted with a strong glue the previous owner tried to un-glue one to reveal the signature ‘P.J.’ possible date ‘1919’ and readdress ‘To U.S.N.Radio Station’. Other images might be captioned at the back this is subject to further research. The Tatoosh group of photos are loose one of them captioned ‘This is the most lonesome place in the world’. Binding worn several photos missing few images loose one of the postcards with tears but otherwise a very good album of strong interesting photos. Historically important collection of original photographs illustrating the life of American Navy Officer Serving at Navy Radio Station in Washington and Philippines. He likely received his training at Tatoosh before being sent to Philippines. Tatoosh station existed since late 1900s being one of the first Island Naval Radio Stations on West Coast following the first station on Mare Island that has been established in 1904. The album is divided into three group of photos the first one being from WA the second - from Philippines one of them dated in negative as of 1913 which suggests the arrival of the officer to Philippines around that time or in late 1910s. The same group of photos are taken in variety of places in the Philippines but already include a number of photos of Las Baños including the panorama of Los Baños Laguna with U.S. Ambulance & Signal Corp Camp Eldridge on it. The image of thecamp is a good verification for the dating of the photos of the first group: it has been photographed in a very early stage of its establishment while later photos from before Japanese invasion show more buildings and more developed territory. This group of photos which are larger include 17 images. The third group of photos is dedicated entirely to Las Baños its radio facilities and the life of the officer: his home his wife his friends the locals he has photographed. In this series the photographer is likely climbed one of the radio towers and took aerial shots in the process of his climb as well as from the top. As a result a series of photographed has survived showing the laguna and the operation in Los Baños in the early stage. US Naval Radio Control Station was built in 1917 including three 600' towers by 1930 it was operating at a significant capacity as the photos published by navy-radio website demonstrate. It is likely our group of photos is taken earlier as the territory shown on the photos from 1930 is developed more significantly and the pathway to operation building and the gate is not constructed yet. were built in 1917 - one destroyed in 1941 attack two demolished in 1945. 1920s was the early days for US Navy Communication Stations abroad the US: in 1924 there was a shore-based site at Shanghai as early as 1924 but its operations had been shifted to the USS General Alva in 1927; Guam in 1929 had one-person intercept site. Oahu had two stations established in 1924 and 1925. The precent station in Los Baños probably was playing a significant role in the region. Civilian radio in the Philippines started in June 1922 with the establishment of KZKZ AM in Manila Philippines by Henry Herman Sr. owner of the Electrical Supply Company in Manila. One radio tower destroyed in 1941 attack two demolished in 1945. During Japanese occupation Los Baños became known for an agricultural school campus turned Japanese internment camp. In famous ‘Raid on Los Baños’ United States Army Airborne and Filipino guerrilla task force have liberated 2147 Allied civilian and military internees from the camp. Likely the operation affected the Radio Control Station that was not re-started after 1945. Overall an important photographic evidence of the US Navy Radio operations in the Pacific. unknown

Historically significant original content-rich logbook with a detailed record of the first trade voyage of a New York East Indiaman “America” from New York to Canton Guangzhou and back in June 1809 – June 1810. A namesake of the famous Salem merchant ship and privateer during the War of 1812 ship “America” built in 1803-1804 made five privateer cruises in 1812-1815 broken up in 1831 this “America” was built on the New York shipyard of Adam and Noah Brown for the noted local merchant company “Minturn & Champlin” and launched in May 1809 shortly before her first voyage The United States Gazette May 15 1809 p. 3. The ship’s tonnage was 493 tons Morrison J.H. History of New York Ship Yards. N.Y. 1909 p. 47. On June 21 1809 New York authorities cleared “America” for a voyage to Canton under the command of Captain Mather Evening Post Marine List// The Evening Post. New York June 21 1809 p. 3. The logbook opens with “America’s” 158-day outbound voyage starting on June 24 1809 when the ship discharged the pilot after the passing of the Sandy Hook spit at the south entrance to New York Bay. She passed the Cape of Good Hope on September 12-13 1809 without calling at port and crossed the Indian Ocean choosing the route to China via the Alas Strait between Lombok and Sumbawa Islands Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. On October 21-22 “America” anchored near the “Bally Town” also marked “Laboagee” on some old maps; it is a settlement south of the modern-day town of Selong on the east coast of Lombok to get fresh water and trade for fresh supplies. A part of the crew went on shore where they were received by a local “king” who also visited the ship. “America” then crossed the “Java” Bali Sea proceeded north through the Makassar Strait between Borneo and Sulawesi crossed on October 26 – November 4 and went across the “Celebean” Celebes Sea towards the Pacific Ocean passing “Sarangaran” Sarangani and “Meangis” Miangas Islands. On November 11 1809 while in the “Celebean Sea” east of “Meangis” Island the compiler saw an island which “I did not find laid down in any chart Capt. Mather “America’s” Captain during the voyage in ship Aeolus from the Cape of Good Hope bound to China first discovered it on Sunday the 30th of November 1806…” The ship then sailed north in the Western Pacific Ocean along the east coast of the Philippines November 13-24 crossed the South China Sea passing “Bashee” Babyan “Lemma” Lamma and “Ladrones” Wanshan Islands arriving to Macao Macau on November 29. The goal of the voyage was to trade in Canton and quickly return to New York but “America” stayed there longer than expected. Captain Mather later reported that “all the English & American ships were embargoed at Canton from Jan. 27 to Feb. 22 in consequence of a new difficuly between the English and Chinese occasioned by a Chinese having been killed by a British seaman; and the English refused to deliver up any one unless the criminal could be pointed out which could not be done. It was expected the difficulty would be amicably settled” National Intelligencer. Washington City D.C. 18 June 1810 p. 3. The logbook omits the ship’s almost three-month stay in China and resumes with her departure from Macao on February 24 1810. On her 104-days return voyage “America” crossed the South China Sea sailed through the Gaspar Strait between Bangka and Belitung Islands east of Sumatra Java Sea and Sunda Strait went across the Indian Ocean and passed Cape of Good Hope April 25 and St. Helena Island May 6. The logbook ends at sea south-east of New York Bay close to the point recorded on the first day of the outbound voyage. New York “Evening Post” newspaper reported that “Arrived at this port on Saturday last the following vessels with valuable cargoes: Ship America Mather 105 days from Canton and 44 from the Cape of Good Hope with teas nankeens china silk and cassia to Minturn and Champlin owners” Evening Post Marine List// The Evening Post. New York June 11 1810 p. 3. The logbook follows the “America’s” voyage day by day thoroughly recording the ship’s geographical position and course weather winds currents operations with sails sundry works on board and ship’s repairs geographical objects passed vessels encountered termometer readings in the Strait of Alas and Western Pacific Ocean/ Philippine Sea the number of the day of the voyage and various events comets caught sharks fights on board an incident with a crew member falling overboard &c. Very interesting is a lengthy description of interactions with the inhabitants of the “Bally town” on Lombok Island where an “American ensign” was flying on shore notes about the sighting of an unknown island in the Western Pacific Ocean “two large comets” in the Indian Ocean endured storms various events on board names of encountered ships &c. Overall an important content-rich source on the history of early American trade voyages to China at the beginning of the 19th century. One of the latest mentions of the ship “America’s voyage to Canton still commanded by “Captain Mather” and owned by “Messrs. Minturn & Champlin” dates back to 1815 Alexandria Gazette.
