1933réf. 236831933. Colorado River development publications from 1933 to 1970 documenting the federal transformation of the river at a scale that continues to shape water rights regional growth and the ecology of the American West. The group traces the movement from basinwide stream measurement to large-scale storage hydroelectric generation irrigation municipal supply and industrial planning culminating in the construction of Glen Canyon Dam and the creation of Lake Powell. Together the publications record the governmental and technical systems that made extensive control of the Colorado River possible while noting the environmental consequences and increasingly contested allocation of a finite water supply. Group of six reports and illustrated brochures. 1 Grover Nathan C. et al. Surface Water Supply of the United States 1933. Part 9 Colorado River Basin. Washington: Government Printing Office 1935.

Extensively illustrated technical record with pencil annotations and page references concerning surveys diversion tunnels spillways dam elevations archaeology temperature records and construction chronology. The two Geological Survey volumes preserve the hydrological data used to quantify and divide the river before the era of major Upper Basin dams. The Glen Canyon record documents the engineering of one of the most consequential and controversial water projects in the American West whose reservoir inundated Glen Canyon and permanently altered downstream flow sediment movement temperature habitat and access to the river. The Texas mineral survey and Reclamation brochures place this development within a broader program of industrial expansion irrigated agriculture municipal growth and federally financed electrical infrastructure. Light to moderate wrapper wear toning rubbing and occasional staining; pronounced discoloration to the mineral report; extensive pencil annotation in the Glen Canyon volume. Overall good condition.

1949réf. 231021949. Environmental Policy Glen Canyon Archive of federal and regional Colorado River Basin materials documenting how the river was successively treated as scenic terrain engineered water infrastructure and regulated recreation landscape across the mid twentieth century. The group centers on Glen Canyon and the broader basin as federal agencies development planners and conservation advocates advanced competing uses for the river. Engineering maps government surveys construction photographs ecological advocacy newsletters and environmental planning documents establish the process by which canyon landscapes were converted into measurable storage systems dam sites recreation zones and administratively managed federal space. Colorado River Basin with material tied to Arizona Utah and the broader American West. 1946-1979 Archive of 26 items including 3 engineering maps 4 press silver gelatin photographs 15 issues of Peak and Prairie Sierra Club Rocky Mountain Chapter newsletter 1 Colorado River Storage Project pamphlet 2 government publications and 1 National Park Service NEPA circulation letter. Visible material includes contour maps and storage-capacity graphs reducing canyon topography to projected reservoir form; black-and-white press photographs showing Glen Canyon Dam under construction diversion tunnels excavation and early recreation on Lake Powell; and printed federal planning documents focused on road systems zoning wilderness recommendations and recreational use after inundation. 1 A Survey of the Recreational Resources of the Colorado River Basin. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service 1950; compiled from 1946 fieldwork. Government publication establishing a pre-dam baseline for the basin's scenic and recreational assessment. The volume includes 13 folded maps in the rear pocket charting river corridors proposed reservoirs and basin-wide topography preserving a record of landscapes later submerged or reclassified under postwar development plans. 2 Engineering maps for Boulder Canyon and Dewey Dam sites. Circa mid twentieth century. Three technical maps converting river terrain into contour lines section views and storage curves for projected impoundment and control. Their emphasis on capacity grade and reservoir profile shows the bureaucratic and engineering language through which the basin entered federal planning systems. 3 Press silver gelatin photographs of Glen Canyon Dam construction and early Lake Powell use. Circa 1960-1966. Four press photographs showing dam works within the canyon including diversion tunnels excavation concrete placement and recreational boating on the new reservoir. Verso captions from the Bureau of Reclamation and Associated Press cite "more than one million cubic yards of concrete" and the "pouring of first concrete for the dam proper" linking the images to federal publicity and construction chronology. 4 Colorado River Storage Project. Bureau of Reclamation pamphlet. Mid twentieth century. Public-facing promotional publication presenting the storage project as a large-scale federal development program for water control and regional growth. Its language praises Glen Canyon Dam as "one of the great dams of the world" making clear the official rhetoric used to justify transformation of the river through reclamation policy. 5 Peak and Prairie. Sierra Club Rocky Mountain Chapter newsletter. Fifteen issues early 1970s. Regional environmental newsletters reporting on conservation campaigns and debates over western energy water and land use. Within this group the newsletters supply contemporaneous advocacy evidence that federal river development was being contested in organized print networks rather than treated as a settled engineering program. 6 Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Proposed General Management Plan / Road Study Alternatives / Final Environmental Statement. National Park Service July 1979. Federal planning document setting out zoning road alternatives and wilderness recommendations for the recreation area created after completion of the dam. In contrast to the earlier survey and engineering material this document shows Glen Canyon as a managed recreational and environmental jurisdiction governed through formal planning categories. 7 National Park Service circulation letter citing Section 1022c of the National Environmental Policy Act. 1979. Official letter announcing distribution of the final environmental statement and inviting public comment. The document provides direct evidence of the procedural side of late twentieth century environmental governance in which major federal land-use decisions required circulation review and recorded administrative response. Across the group the 1950 survey preserves the basin before inundation the engineering maps and construction photographs record its conversion into infrastructure and the 1970s Sierra Club and National Park Service material shows subsequent conflict and regulation after Glen Canyon Dam's completion in 1964. The archive therefore documents a shift in federal treatment of the Colorado River Basin from scenic and recreational appraisal to industrial water control and then to environmental review under NEPA-era law. Handling wear across materials; photographs retain strong contrast with legible captions; maps with expected fold lines; bindings intact. Overall very good condition. A concentrated documentary group on the administrative visual and environmental remaking of the Colorado River Basin in the postwar American West. unknown books
1936réf. 233041936. Springfield Massachusetts flood photographs documenting the March 1936 Connecticut River disaster in western Massachusetts with direct evidence of how floodwater moved through streets bridges utility plants churches and commercial blocks in one of the worst flood events in regional history. Images record the city at the point where river flooding became an urban systems failure not only inundating homes and business districts but also interrupting power transport and street circulation in a manufacturing center already under Depression era strain. The 1936 flood in Springfield formed part of the larger New England catastrophe that left 15000 city residents homeless and pushed federal and local authorities toward new flood control measures including the broader post 1936 buildout of levees dikes and river management works under the Flood Control Act of 1936. Photo archive of 16 sepia photographs with printed captions on lower margin 3.25" x 4.75" Springfield Massachusetts 1936. The photographs are captioned beneath the image area with specific locations including "North Main St. Flood Scene" "Plainfield Street" "Flood Barricade Telephone Bldg." "St. James M.E. Church" "U. E. Light Power Plant" and "Railroad Bridge Conn. to name a few. Several views show entire streets turned into waterways with tree trunks porches and first floors standing in still floodwater. One Plainfield Street view shows two men navigating a rowboat between commercial buildings. The Telephone Building appears protected by sandbags stacked across low window openings showcasing emergency defense. The St. James M.E. Church photograph shows water standing nearly to the base of the windows around the church grounds. Memorial Bridge and the railroad bridge are both shown against a swollen Connecticut River while the riverfront and power plant views place industrial and utility structures at the flood edge. The Locust and Main Street image shows crowds boats automobiles and rescue activity gathered at a flooded intersection and the State Street at Main view shows a truck moving through deep water in the downtown business district. The South Main Street and South End views extend that disruption into retail and industrial blocks where storefronts sidewalks and roadbeds disappear under the flood. The flood followed a severe winter deep snowpack frozen ground and heavy March rain across the Connecticut River Valley. In Springfield and nearby West Springfield existing dikes were overtopped undermined and eroded while floodwater cut off neighborhoods and disabled normal traffic. The Connecticut River Valley was a manufacturing corridor the surrounding area was still recovering from the Great Depression; this economic downturn resulted in greater structural change. The disaster helped drive the Flood Control Act of 1936 and in West Springfield the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began a local protection project in 1939 to enlarge and rehabilitate flood defenses completed in 1942. Light wear and mild toning; captions remain clear and the photographs present well. Overall very good condition. A visual documentation of the flood that forced Springfield to reshape the infrastructure of their river front environment. unknown books
1942réf. 233601942. Internment camp copy of Flowering Plants and Ferns of Arizona from the Gila River Project School Libraries preserving the school library apparatus of a War Relocation Authority camp for Japanese Americans incarcerated in Arizona during World War II. The stamp "Property of Gila River Project School Libraries / War Relocation Authority" the "High School Library" date slip and the retained circulation card checked out to "Mrs. Young" on February 21 place this volume inside the camp's formal school system. Gila River was one of the War Relocation Authority camps created to confine Japanese Americans removed from the West Coast and this is one of the materials which circulated within that controlled educational setting. Gila River confined more than 13000 Japanese Americans and maintained a formal elementary and secondary school system under War Relocation Authority administration with separate school structures in the Canal and Butte camps. The stamp in this volume identifies the bureaucratic machinery through which education was organized inside wartime incarceration. Kearney Thomas H. and Robert H. Peebles. Flowering Plants and Ferns of Arizona. Washington D.C.: United States Department of Agriculture 1942. USDA Miscellaneous Publication 423. This copy was held by the Gila River Project School Libraries the school library system operating within the Gila River War Relocation Center under War Relocation Authority administration. 9" x 5" x 2" 1069 pages. The ownership stamp rear pastedown date slip marked "High School Library" and retained book pocket and circulation card identify the book as part of that internal educational bureaucracy rather than a later outside institutional holding. Thick octavo in original green cloth stamped in gilt. The title page identifies Kearney as Principal Physiologist and Peebles as Associate Agronomist in the Division of Range Research Bureau of Plant Industry. Preliminary leaves include a detailed table of contents with sections on ecological factors geographical relationships of the flora vegetation and an annotated list of species while the introduction notes Arizona's exceptional botanical diversity and the absence of any earlier comprehensive manual for identifying its flowering plants and ferns. The camp provenance distinguishes this copy. Gila River divided into the Canal and Butte camps on the Gila River Indian Reservation maintained elementary and secondary schools for incarcerated Japanese Americans and this volume preserves the lending mechanics of that system in unusually direct form through its stamp date slip and borrower record. Because the book is a substantial Arizona reference work rather than casual reading matter its use in a camp high school library points to organized classroom or instructional use within confinement linking federal scientific publishing to wartime educational administration inside the camp. Light rubbing to cloth; text block clean and sound; library pocket date slip and circulation card intact; institutional stamp strong and legible. Overall good condition. An internment camp school library copy with circulation evidence still present preserving the internal educational life of Gila River through the use of a federal Arizona flora. unknown books

Title-page printed in red and black. Bound ca. 1920 by Rivière & Son stamp signed in gilt on lower turn-in. Full antelope crushed levant morocco covers decoratively ruled in gilt surrounding a very elaborate floral design in pointillé spine with five raised bands similarly decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges full dark blue morocco liners elaborately decorated in gilt blue watered silk end-leaves top edge gilt. A wonderful example of the art of 'pointillé'. The Scottish author critic and thinker Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 was a major influence on Victorian society. His novel Sartor Resartus translated as The Tailor Re-tailored among other variations is a satirical look at the work of a fictional philosopher Diogenes Teufelsdröckh. Intriguing in its form the book is structured from the prospective of a skeptical English reviewer consumed by Teufelsdröckh's book Clothes Their Origin and Influence. In crafting Sartor Resartus Carlyle drew on a range of literary influences: Goethe Hegel Sterne and Switft. Carlyle's complicated text not only critiques academic writing and materialism but offers meditations on the meanings of symbols and the search for truth. Although first started as an essay the project eventually developed into a novel which was first published serially in Fraser's Magazine 1833-34. Fine. Kegan Paul, Trench & Co unknown books

Original yellow and black boards with title author and publisher stamped in yellow on spine. Original yellow and grey paper dustjacket with image of laborer at work in a field. Author Carrol Norquest draws on his personal experience as a farmer in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to write nuanced and humanistic biographical sketches of migrant workers. These essays explore the people and culture of south Texas an area which saw the rise of migrant labor in the 30s and 40s and continues to grapple with an influx of immigration to this day. The term "wetback" first emerged in the 50s and 60s as a slur for migrant workers presumably a reference to the act of swimming across the Rio Grande from Mexico to Texas. Overall very good condition. Essays by a Texas farmer refuting racist stereotypes about Mexican migrant workers. unknown books
1900réf. 177661900. Early African American PHOTOGRAPHY -- RELIGION. silver gelatin photograph of a river baptism featuring a large group of African American subjects. Mississippi ca early 1900s. Photograph size is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Original silver gelatin photograph on cardstock mount .A young African American man wearing a hat and suit stands with his back to the camera we see in the foreground on the riverbank a group of African American subjects in light clothing close to the water's edge. A large ship is just visible beyond the dock in the background. Pencil inscription on verso reads "Miss- Colored Baptizing." 9Not: Historical records are evidence of the time in which they were created and often contain language are racist or derogatory and insensitive. This content does not reflect our values. These type of baptism on the banks of the Mississippi River were a public ceremony that attracted many converts in the South to the Delta region. Predominately African American Baptists performed their sacred ritual of outdoor baptisms on the Mississippi River until well into the 20th century in this Baptist-heavy state. Immersion baptisms typically took place in rivers or other natural bodies of water and summer and fall were the natural seasons for these congregational events. This rare photo captures a religious practice that has been integral to African-American Baptists for centuries. Photo has some toning surface soiling spotting and very small tear to right edge. But is still clear and in good to very good condition. unknown books

With its original separately printed wrap-around sleeve with a printed title as above which also shows some neat paper restoration at the extremities. In January 1776 Captain Bromedge wrote to Vice Admiral Schuldham regarding his boarding of the ship Boston Packet and his suspicion that they were carrying stores to the enemy. "I am informed by the crew of the Boston Packet that the Master declared repeatedly on the Passage that could he make Cape Codd he would go in there and land his cargo or could he make Cape Ann he did not fear meeting with some of his Friends to carry him into Beverly or Salem" see Naval Documents of the American Revolution Vol III p. 1005 for the full text of his letter. Regarding this and similar allegations Vice Admiral Graves issued the orders printed here specifically pertaining to the Boston Packet: "You are to seize and detain all Ships and Vessels belonging to the Inhabitants of the four New England Provinces and to send them to Boston." On the verso is printed Rear Admiral Schuldham's confirmation of Graves' order "the probability of these stores being smuggled away to the Enemy.makes me think it highly proper that they should be detained." In effect this is a Letter of Marque issued during the Revolutionary War but pertaining only to a particular class of merchant ships and to two vessels in particular one of which was the Boston Packet.

1914réf. 147841914. Keystone View Company. The Jordan and Mountains of Judea from the Cliffs of Moab Palestine circa 1914 records an early twentieth-century stereoscopic view across the Jordan River toward the Judean landscape. The Museum of Fine Arts Houston records this Keystone image under the same title dates it circa 1914 and identifies it as part of A Trip Around the World Through the Stereoscope. Numbered 224 the view belongs to the mass-produced stereographic travel imagery through which American audiences encountered the geography of Palestine and the surrounding region during the early twentieth century. Original black-and-white stereoview measuring approximately 7 x 3.5 inches copyright Keystone View Company and numbered 224. The paired images look from the cliffs of Moab across the Jordan River toward the Mountains of Judea. In the foreground a local man wearing a long robe and wrapped headdress stands above the riverbank while a small boat occupies the water below. The human figure and boat provide scale within a composition dominated by the river valley and distant mountainous terrain. The supplied description identifies the card as number 224 in a series of 400 stereoviews; the number and title are independently confirmed although the specific 400-view issue has not been verified from an institutional source. Keystone View Company used stereoscopic photography extensively for geographic education and armchair travel distributing views of international landscapes in boxed tours and educational sets. This example preserves both a topographical record of the Jordan Valley and the visual conventions through which the region was presented to Western stereograph audiences in the early twentieth century.

White's Laws also provides a rich illustration of the understanding that nineteenth-century Americans had of the events that related to property law and it reflects the efforts that the U.S. government was devoting to the unveiling of the legal systems that had been applied in the region. Spanish- and French-speaking scholars may consult White's Laws when searching for a glossary or for terms that English speakers used. At the same time English-speaking scholars may examine White's. unknown books
