réf. 69128Paris, K éditeur, 30 avril 1949, in-12, non paginé, environ 70 pp, broché, couverture rempliée imprimée, Édition en partie originale, exemplaire non justifié. Complet du bandeau "préfaces d'André Breton". Recueil de lettres de Jacques Vaché envoyées à André Breton, Théodore Fraenkel, Louis Aragon et Harry James alors qu'il était au front, ou en prison. Ces lettres sont précédées de quatre préfaces d'André Breton, grand ami de Vaché, qui eut une profonde influence sur lui et sur le mouvement surréaliste. Breton écrira à propos de ces lettres de guerre qu'elles sont "une magnifique introduction à tout ce qui recouvre l'étiquette Dada. Il y a là tous les manifestes qu'on voudra, pas une négation ne manque" dans une lettre à Jacques Doucet datant du 4 janvier 1921. En fin d'ouvrage, l'article L'Opium, extrait de L'Express de l'Ouest du 9 janvier 1919, reproduit en fac-similé, dans lequel est annoncée la mort de Jacques Vaché et de l'un de ses amis, à la suite de l'absorption d'une trop forte dose d'opium et dans lequel les deux victimes sont présentées à la fois comme de "jeunes écervelés" sans expérience de la drogue ainsi que comme "de braves soldats qui avaient fait leur devoir devant l'ennemi et avaient été blessés". L'ouvrage contient aussi un fac-similé d'une lettre d'Harry James. Bel exemplaire. Couverture rigide

1929réf. 45963San Francisco: Grabhorn Press. Near Fine. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Travel and Exploration Native American Most Recent Listing; viii 122 2 pages; Number 47 of a limited edition of only 300 copies. With hand-colored decorations by Valenti Angelo. Publisher's cream coloured boards with gilt spine lettering in slipcase. Some rubbing at spine otherwise near fine in very good slipcase with some minor rubbing. Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narvaez expedition. La Relacion de Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca "The Story of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca" is the account of his experiences with the Narvaez expedition and after being wrecked on Galveston Island in November 1528. Cabeza de Vaca and his last three men struggled to survive. They wandered along the Texas coast as prisoners of the Han and Capoque American Indians for two years while Cabeza de Vaca observed the people picking up their ways of life and customs. They traveled through the American Southwest and ultimately reached Mexico City nearly eight years after being wrecked on the island. In 1537 Cabeza de Vaca returned to Spain where he wrote his narratives of the Narvaez expedition. These narratives were collected and published in 1542 in Spain. The narrative of Cabeza de Vaca is the "first European book devoted completely to North America. " His detailed account describes the lives of numerous tribes of American Indians of the time. Cabeza de Vaca showed compassion and respect for native peoples which together with the great detail he recorded distinguishes his narrative from others of the period. Cabeza de Vaca reported on the customs and ways of American Indian life aware of his status as an early European explorer. He spent eight years with various peoples including the Capoque Han Avavare and Arbadao. He describes details of the culture of the Malhado people the Capoque and Han American Indians such as their treatment of offspring their wedding rites and their main sources of food. Cabeza de Vaca and his three fellow survivors at times served as slaves to the American Indians to survive. Through his observations Cabeza de Vaca provides insights into 16th-century American Indian life near the present-day Mexico-Texas border. For many peoples the accounts of Cabeza de Vaca and Hernando de Soto are the only written records of their existence. By the time of the next European contact many had vanished possibly from diseases carried by Cabeza de Vaca and his companions. One of Cabeza de Vaca's greatest accomplishments in his journey was bringing peace throughout the land. As the travellers passed from one tribe to the next warring tribes would immediately make peace and become friendly so that the natives could receive the party and give them gifts. Cabeza noted in his personal account of the journey that in this way "We left the whole country in peace. " Cabeza de Vaca saw these events as part of his purpose in America writing that he believed that "God was guiding us to where we could serve Him. " Cabeza de Vaca's greatest challenge as an ambassador came when he attempted to bring peace between the conquering Spanish army and the natives. As Cabeza approached the area of Spanish settlement he and his companions grieved to see the destruction of the native villages and enslavement of the native peoples. The fertile land lay uncultivated and the natives were nearly starving hiding in the forest for fear of the Spanish army. Cabeza de Vaca then encountered Diego de Alcaraz commander of a slaving expedition of about 20 horsemen and attempted to negotiate peace between them and the natives. However as soon as they departed Alcaraz went back on his word and plundered Cabeza de Vaca's entourage of natives that he had sent back home. Not long afterward Cabeza de Vaca encountered the chief alcalde Spanish captain of the province Melchor Diaz. Diaz ordered Cabeza de Vaca . 1929. Grabhorn Press hardcover
