"Mr. Davies's book gives a devastating account of the Justice Department's evasion and duplicity and draws upon new evidence that has come to light in the past two years. This book is an indictment not only of some of the Ohio National Guard but of the Nixon Administration for its failure to come to grips with the unanswered questions surrounding the tragic events of May 4 1970 and of the American public as well for its willingness to let these questions go unresolved."

He was born in the Netherlands in 1744 to Robert Stedman, a Scot and an officer in Holland's Scots Brigade, and his wife of Dutch noble lineage, Antoinetta Christina van Ceulen. He lived most of his childhood in Holland with his parents but spent time with his uncle in Scotland. His years in Surinam, on the northern coast of South America, were characterized by encounters with African slaves and colonial planters, as well as the exotic local flora and fauna. He recorded his experiences in this Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam (1796) which, with its firsthand depictions of slavery and other aspects of colonization, became an important tool in the early abolitionist cause. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

1956réf. 021414No Place: No publisher 1956. Unbound. Good. No publisher or place. All 1956. Approximately 30-40 pieces. Most are duplicate typed sheets as well as some blank fundraising forms and envelopes and a lengthy guest list including number of tickets needed. These papers relate to a campaign fundraising dinner Adlai Stevenson and his campaign held on April 25th 1956 at the Waldorf. This includes duplicates of letters of invitations addressed to a variety of people; confidential campaign memos; blank fundraising forms; and a lengthy guest list that includes Eleanor Roosevelt among others. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. GOOD condition. All housed in a manila folder. Some are stapled many bear creases and are toned with some pencil or pen notes scattered throughout. No publisher unknown
