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.

1944réf. List3749US Australia and New Guinea 1944. Diary measuring 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches containing 735 entries. With three letters two of which are facsimiles. Diary boards with debossed text reading "ARMY DAYS" and lock; worn especially at corners excellent. Contents Fine. Letters Fine. Overall Near Fine. A diary belonging to Dale F. Damitz 1920-1944 Company A of the 738th Military Police Battalion covering the time between his last day before leaving for service and about a month before his death in October of 1944. The 738th MPB stationed in the South West Pacific Area during the Second World War is best known during that time for its role in the Battle of Brisbane a two-day riot between US servicemen and Australian servicemen and civilians in which an Australian Gunner was killed and hundreds on both sides were injured. Australia was a critical station for housing troops on duty in the Pacific Theater. The arrival of US military personnel in Australia-80000 in Brisbane alone-overtaxed the capacities of its cities increased crime and strained relations between US troops and Australians. Americans had access to better rations including luxuries such as cigarettes and ice cream; received higher pay than their Australian counterparts; and were often criticized for consorting with Australian women. Though it does not figure in this diary race likely also contributed to animosity between the groups. Despite fairly strict Australian laws around the sale of alcohol drunkenness was rampant. Military police from both countries were tasked with keeping the peace in the major cities. Damitz arrived in Brisbane with the 738th in August 1942 where "Lt. Craddock" informed his company that "where we're going we'll have a chance to catch 200 lb bombs in our pockets" August 30 and "Cpt. Forbes" that he would "get some honor and glory if it costs him the whole company" August 31. Damitz's diary is fairly sparse at this time including during the Battle of Brisbane though he mentions an "air raid" that made "the ground shake" December 1. In Australia-"this land of forgotten men" February 15 1943 consisting of "Just heat and rain day after day. And insects" February 5 1943-Damitz's duties mainly consisted of being what he called "prisoner chaser" patrolling for and guarding "the drunks" who "make you so sick and disgusted you never want a drink again" March 29 1943. Damitz's duties took him across central and southeastern Australia from Adelaide River outside Darwin to Birdum and Alice Springs to Adelaide via Terowie-these along the Stuart Highway a critical military transport route-to Melbourne and then to Brisbane via Sydney. The central Australian route through the Northern Territory and South Australia is "just waste land" February 23 1943 and "flat desert country . Saw a lot of camels and a few abo camps" March 5. Damitz's then went from Brisbane to Adelaide River outside Darwin to Melbourne and back to Brisbane. In Melbourne and Brisbane he is on "prisoner chaser" duty: "Was prisoner chaser today. Got through at five. Went out on town patrol at six thirty. All troops were restricted as there was a big drive on to pick up all AWOL's. got one fellow over the hill." April 21 1943 And: "Was working with the Civilian Police tonight after sly-grog sellers. Caught one. Sure is a lot of excitement and dangerous" June 13 1943. Bootlegging was a persistent issue in Australia exacerbated by the presence of American GIs who were unused to Australia's strict liquor laws. Damitz's company left Brisbane for Milne Bay in New Guinea in November of 1943. The camp is "worse than a pig pen" November 11 and the "bastard of a Col. of the 801st" takes away his tent's floorboards for his own use leaving Damitz in the mud December 17. In a somewhat more upbeat letter to friends back home Damitz reports water "clear as crystal and cold as ice" with "plenty of banana trees and pineapples" and "natives here . called fuzzy-wuzzies. We give them a cigarette to climb the coconut trees and knock down coconuts for us" November 17. They arrived in Oro Bay in March of 1944 where Damitz "Just lays around" March 15 deals with the mud and casts his ballot-"the first time in my life I have voted. Voted straight Republican" July 23-on the controversial absentee ballot. By far Damitz's most persistent topic for the entirety of the diary is his overwhelming boredom the constant feeling of preparing for "something big" October 24 1943 that never materializes and the totalizing apathy that this produces. Damitz had been a reluctant enlistment in the first place-for instance mentioning an award as "another pipe dream of the old man's" June 5 1943-and had not expected to be sent overseas so quickly "it was said no untrained men would leave the states. Some joke!"; June 30 1942. He "Sure is sick of this shit!!!" March 15 1944 and writes throughout 1943: "February 4: Doesn't take long for a guy to get so you don't give a dam for anything. Almost get so you don't care what happens next. February 12: Saw a good movie here in camp last night. Rest of the day was just like any other day here. Often wonder if I'll ever have the happiness I once had April 14: This all seems like a bad dream. Sure wish it was over with. April 30: The months slowly go by. You feel like a condemned man who is waiting for the chair. August 19: Today makes fourteen months in the army. Seems more like years tho. Hate it more every day. November 13: Is raining again today the mud is about a foot deep right inside of the tents. Don't have any kitchen yet. Don't care. December 21: Just laid around all day. Don't have any life or pep anymore. Don't have any ambition to do a dam thing." After nearly two and a half years of "all this B.S." July 30 1943 Damitz's company was sent to the Philippines where he was killed in action a few days into the Battle of Leyte. The diary provides a humanizing look-in Damitz's distinctively hard-boiled writing voice-at US-Australian relations and law enforcement and at everyday life outside of combat for a US battalion infamous in Australian history.

1870réf. 188793Koloa Kavai Hawai'i: 29 February 1870. Manuscript sermon by Daniel Dole missionary and educator in the Hawaiian Islands. He was the founder of Punahou School and was active during the period of expanding American Protestant influence in the kingdom. In the sermon Dole cites Matthew 12:30 "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad" contrasting true discipleship with mere moral respectability and urging active allegiance to Christ through self-denial and the renunciation of worldly attachments. He sharpens his argument through literary contrasts opposing Paine Voltaire and Byron to writers he commends including Bunyan Cecil Edwards Dwight and the Wesleys all prominent Protestant writers and divines. He also includes an anecdote of a young man of literary promise known to him who squandered his gifts in pursuit of sensual pleasure. Dole 1808-1878 was a Congregationalist missionary who settled in Hawai'i in 1841 and founded Punahou School originally Oahu College in Honolulu for the education of missionaries' children an institution that later educated members of the Hawaiian royal family and became one of the most influential schools in the islands. His family remained prominent in Hawaiian public life most notably his son Sanford B. Dole who played a leading role in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and subsequently became president of the Republic of Hawai'i. Provenance: Martin Schøyen. Manuscript on lined paper 210 x 167 mm cursive script in brown ink 12 leaves unnumbered. Old cataloguing annotation in blue ink to head of fist page; journal clipping with gospel hymn "Come this way my father" loosely inserted.

Founded originally in 1910 in the City of Portland by David Shope 1862-1948 having developed his specialized brick-making machinery for clay & concrete bricks as featured in the final photograph the company’s products quickly proved popular with Arts & Crafts architects in the Pacific Northwest. Shope used a patented process to achieve what he termed the “Red Wire Cut” and “Old Gold Rough Texture” for commercial facades and also used concrete cast stone to achieve special effects and sold his licensed machinery to contractors as well. By 1922 he heavily marketed the fact that the Shope facades were the only ones to mostly survive the 1922 Astoria fire. He also aggressively protected his patents suing competitors on a regular basis. After 1923 he sold out to the Eugene Concrete Pipe Company and returned to Lake City MN where he lived with his daughter Birdie. Gensler 1873-1968 was a German-American photographer in San Francisco CA who operated Columbia Commercial Studio from about 1915 through World War II before moving back to Alameda CA and in two of the photos he has proudly displayed his 1915 Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle in the foreground.

A souvenir anthology of writings including sixty recipes from two landmark New Orleans restaurants offered for sale to customers traveling the Sunset Route San Francisco–New Orleans by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. A sampling: Mutton Feet à la Créole Liver à la Bégué Jambalaya of Chicken Codish with White Beans Bisque of Crayfish Creamed Cauliflower Onion Salad Eggplant with Rice and Ham Mayonaise of Celery and Shrimps Pineapple with White Wine. ~ The title displayed on the wrappers is misleading: the atmospheric essays and testimonials – arranged by a literary journalist who contributed to Southern Pacific's promotional magazine Sunset Henry Monroe Mayo 1868-1950 – reveal little regarding the eponymous originator of the recipes or the history of the cuisine that brought her fame. Only pages 47-68 contain recipes by Elizabeth née Elisabetha Kettenring Dutreuil Bégué 1831-1906 the proprietary chef of the beloved restaurant in the Vieux Carré – the second oldest such establishment in New Orleans – located on the Rue de la Levée Decatur Street after 1870 downriver from Jackson Square and across from the French Market. An immigrant from southern Germany she had opened a coffee shop with her husband Louis Dutreuil in 1863. After his death in 1875 she married again and with her second husband Hippolyte Bégué 1842-1917 reopened in the same location with the aim of serving one meal per day – a “second breakfast” beginning at 11:00 a.m. – to accommodate laborers in the meat markets and on the docks who started work at dawn. A fuller history by David Shields is available in his The Culinarians Chicago: University or Chicago Press 2017 pages 270-273. By the mid-1880s trade fairs held in the city were bringing tourists as well and Bégué’s became a destination on its own. Madame Bégué died in 1906. The restaurant continued under management of her daughter but was sold in 1914 to relatives of the family Tujague competitors since 1856 on Decatur Street a few doors away. ~ A shorter tribute with recipes pages 69-74 is accorded another restaurateur presumably Victor Béro d. 1904 an immigrant from Belgium who had presided over Victor's Restaurant since 1873. Mayo appears to confuse the "Monsieur Victor" of his time with the founder and namesake of the establishment Victor Martin 1812-1865; cf. Shields page 136 445. ~ The Sunset Route of the Southern Pacific Company was the southernmost of the transport lines to the West Coast originally contemplated by the series of Pacific Railroad Acts between 1862 and 1866. Of the resulting publicly subsidized corporate consortia that would transform western North America – known collectively as the transcontinental railroads – Southern Pacific was already a mammoth system in 1900 including smaller subsidiaries such as the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and extending across territories that would later become New Mexico and Arizona as well as northwards through Nevada Utah and much of California. The in-house Sunset magazine appears to have been printed close to headquarters in San Francisco but like many publications issued by the transportation industry Mme. Bégué and Her Recipes was printed by Poole Brothers of Chicago who advertised as "railway printers" and also produced tickets brochures and mileage tables. ~ Internally clean and sound; in publisher's red wrappers decorated in black and white with an image of Madame Chef in kitchen apron.
