1865ref. List2724South Carolina 1865. Single letter measuring 7.5 x 10 inches folded one double-sided sheet with stampless envelope. Near fine with light normal wear. George Harpole Vannada 1844–1928 was a private promoted to corporal in Company I of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The 25th Infantry was a volunteer regiment mustered in August 1861 and mustered out in July 1865. At the time of Vannada’s writing the Regiment was involved in the Campaign of the Carolinas – led by General Sherman this campaign would culminate in the Army of the South’s unconditional surrender and effectively end the war. Vannada writes that his regiment had “started with 25 days rations from pocotaligo staton for i supose Charleston.” On the way they had encountered: “a few Johneys i.e. Confederates not far off i have heard sevrel cannons to day we will be botherd with them all the way to Charleston between here and Buford they had a fort a bout evry 3 miles they wood stop and fire a few shots and then get up a bug for the next fort”. By “Buford” Vannada probably means Beaufort South Carolina which had been occupied by Union forces since November 1861. At this point the Savannah area had been essentially a refugee camp for freed people for several years and Sherman’s Special Field Orders No. 15 which settled them in the nearby South Carolina Sea Islands—the “forty acres and a mule” order—came in response to their request for stewardship over the land. Vannada remarks on Sherman’s order: “Gen Foster has been on Buford Iland for 2 years and now Sherman has comand of his troops i think they will get off now this Iland they have to give to the Niggars to setle on that is all that have famlies 40 acre to the man”. Vannada also accurately forecasts despite the fact that “we don’t often get any papers here to see what is goin on” that there “is some talk of peace down here but i think it is sevrel months off yet”. unknown books

1935ref. 201293San Francisco 1935. Very Good. The idea for the Golden Gate International Exposition also known as the 1939 World's Fair was first formulated in 1933. In 1934 two architects William Peyton Day and George W. Kelham who was instrumental in the PPIE were tasked with evaluating various sites in and around the city. By the end of 1934 that choice had narrowed to revamping the Presidio or to building an artificial island on the shoals of the Yerba Buena islands. A push by promoters of a mainland site was voted down in April 1935. As important a decision as this was there seems to be very little documentation on the campaign for a mainland site. The poster lists 22 practical reasons for a mainland fair appealing primarily to reasons that would have a direct effect on residents of San Francisco. It failed however to inspire voters in the way that building "Treasure Island" did. By this time also Treasure Island had plans in the making for future use as an airport and other practical reasons of its own to exist. Printed by the Sunset Courier. In 1925 the Courier was linked to an anti-union movement. In 1932 the Courier ran with the anti-Japanese headline "Orientals Are Invading Sunset District." In 1933 the Courier questioned the distribution of public funds to Jewish organizations. The relation of the Courier to the campaign is not known by me and they may have only offered the lowest printing rates. Printed on newsprint single-sided with red ruled border and red "BECAUSE" repeated. Very Good condition 23" x 17" creased from folds minor edgewear. books

This was the platform for the first national Presidential election 1856 with a Republican candidate John C. Frémont. A RARE publication in its own right Rare Book Hub notes last copy appearing in a dealer catalog in 1970. This copy rendered unique and historically significant by the original owner's addition of 78 blank pages which he mostly filled with pasted in contemporaneous newspaper clippings including 7 pp. of the Democratic Party Platform of 1856. Other significant clippings are headed: The Sanford Letter Wash. Aug. 21 1848 2 pp.; Kansas Affairs-Official Instructions to Gov. Geary and Gen. Smith Wash.

Whenever any other copy of the 1856 Platform comes to market it is unlikely to be as intriguing to historians and collectors as this copy. John P. Jewett & Co. Hardcover books

1946ref. 6505Mexico: Secretaria del Trabajo y Prevision Social 1946. Very good. 120pp. Quarto. Illustrated. Original cream printed wrappers. Light wear heavier to extremities. Text toned. One of the first official studies on the subject of braceros. The study was carried out by Luis Fernández del Campo Director of Social Security for the Mexican Ministry of Labor. Fernández del Campo focuses on the characteristics that typify the Mexican migrant laborers who have emigrated to the North exploring the reasons that have prompted them to emigrate and the changes that the foreign environment in the United States has had on them. The introduction points put that "The southern region of the United States especially Texas has been for many years a market for Mexican labor cheap labor subject to multiple arbitrariness and even used to depress the salaries of North American workers and to displace them from their occupations. Cotton picking in the State of Texas was the activity that attracted the largest number of Mexican emigrant workers." The text also points out the disparities in wages for these workers depending on the region in which they work. The work contains chapters on international arrangements for migrant workers a statistical analysis of survey data gathered from braceros including their salaries and the mental disorders suffered by some migrant workers. Interspersed throughout the work are numerous photographs featuring groups of migrant workers in the application process and in the fields. A detailed informative and scarce work that is absolutely essential for the study of migrant labor in the southwestern United States. Secretaria del Trabajo y Prevision Social unknown books

1860ref. 24066Baltimore ca1860. Framed. Very good; some minor spotting to the periphary. Color pen & ink drawing meas. appx. 315 x 445 mm in the original contemporary frame; on glazed cotton. An unusual "cartoon" that features what appears to be Franklin Pierce astride a game-cock directing a spear pointed quill at a prostrate figure in the grasp of the animal. The election of 1852 was preceded by a contentious Democratic party convention in Baltimore - the origin of this cartoon when it surfaced at an estate sale in 1995. Until that time it had been folded and kept undisturbed. The result is its retention of the depth of the original color and very good condition. Although the attribution to the Pierce campaign cannot be certain it appears the most likely - especially with the game-cock. Pierce faced days of votes to secure his candidacy that was not by any means popular. Here he is shown subduing one of his opponents for the nomination. unknown books
