Faded purple stamp of agent Henry H. Hannan. CONDITION: Very good upper-half of right margin rough cut. A scarce and attractive promotional broadsheet with map issued by the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway advertising special railway offers to emigrants headed to Texas. This broadsheet announces cheap excursion tickets free baggage up to 200 lbs. and reduced emigrant rates for departures from St. Louis on the Short Line Route which runs through Arkansas into Texas. A table of rates on the verso lists first class and emigrant rates. The Texas Short Line extends from St. Louis Missouri to Galveston and Austin and cuts diagonally across the map with various spurs along the way including intersections the Texas & Pacific R'y and the International & Great Northern R'y. Interested parties seeking assistance information on Texas maps time-tables rates of fare etc. are encouraged to call upon or address the nearest of the railroad's Agents located in Missouri Chicago New York City and Ohio whose names are provided on both recto and verso. The St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway began selling off land holdings in Arkansas in the mid-1870s and continued to do so into the early twentieth century. OCLC records some twenty maps published by the railroad company promoting land it owned in Arkansas issued during this time period. These lands extended from the northernmost point of the state around Little Rock to the line's southern terminus in Texarkana. The company offered various inducements for settlers deep discounts for putting money down as well as reduced freight should homesteaders wish to transport their belongings via the railway. As demonstrated by the present broadsheet the railroad also capitalized on emigration to Texas. OCLC records only three copies at Yale Princeton and University of Texas at Arlington.

1937réf. 234531937. Iron lung transport press archive documenting the movement of respirator-dependent polio patients through rail terminals ships ramps aircraft hospitals and Coast Guard facilities during the years before the Salk vaccine changed American polio care in 1955. The iron lung developed in 1928 by Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw kept patients breathing when polio paralyzed the muscles needed for respiration. Fred B. Snite Jr. appears in several views as the nationally followed Chicago patient who contracted polio in China in 1936 and returned to the United States after a highly publicized 9300-mile medical journey. The group is strongest as a record of medical transport itself: nurses in masks uniformed officers attendants ramps crowds and captioned press slips show how survival could depend on coordinated movement as much as bedside treatment. Photo archive of 5 large silver gelatin press photographs approx 8 x 10 inches Chicago Seattle Port Angeles and related transport locations 1937-1951. Snite's respirator is loaded at a Chicago railroad terminal with his head visible through the front window while men adjust the wheeled carriage; another scene places the iron lung at a ship or dockside ramp surrounded by masked nurses uniformed officers and hospital attendants. A Chicago caption dated February 8 1939 reads "Iron Lung Kid and Bride Entrain for South" identifying Snite and his bride leaving for Miami Florida after their winter vacation. Another verso caption dated June 22 1937 describes his return to Chicago after transport from China where he had been stricken. A January 14 1951 Coast Guard caption identifies an iron lung flown from Seattle to Port Angeles to aid Eldon Tetum a 36-year-old logger stricken with polio. Polio epidemics made the iron lung one of the most visible medical machines of the mid-twentieth century especially before vaccination reduced annual cases after 1955. These scenes connect celebrity medical news to emergency public health logistics showing how mechanical respiration required attendants vehicles terminals aircraft and institutional coordination outside the hospital room. Press stamps pasted captions adhesive staining and surface marks visible on versos; images remain strong and readable. Overall in good condition. unknown books
