Covers a little worn and scuffed, contents foxed with some browning and soiling; lower corner of pp. 29-30 torn off, affecting a few words, and a tear on pp. 81-82; otherwise very good. Some sources suggest there are one or two other plates in this title, but only the portraits are bound in this volume.The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806) was the first overland expedition by the United States to go to the Pacific coast. This was an extremely important expedition because it laid the groundwork for the Western Expansion, and gave our government a first hand account of the resources we picked up with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The expedition was led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, but was greatly assisted by Sacajawea, their Native American guide and translator. This work was published because of the growing…

Madison, WI: Burrows Brothers / Arthur H. Clark Co, 1902. Fine. This historical archive includes the following: [A] 8.5" x 11", 22 TLS consisting of 27 individual pages [B] 6"x 9". 25 HLS consisting of 47 written pages [C] Various sized pages include 17 HNS or HLS on 21 written pp. [D] 3.5" x 5.5" HNS on SHSW card stock [E] 3.5" x 5.5" HNS on U.S. Postal one-cent postcards [F] A letter from Wilberforce Eames, "Dean of American Bibliography" [G] 5 HLS from contributors other than RGT, identities not yet researched [H] 4 sepia photographs of RGT 4.5" x 7" [I] Copy of 8/2/1896 Sunday Sentinel Newspaper with RGT and dedication of Historical building headline above the fold [J] 28 pp. MSS of Chapter 4 of The French Exploration of the West with hand edits. [K] The oldest item in the archive is 10/5/1895 from a Jesuit scholar, Arthur E. Jones, SJ from College St. Marie, Montreal discussing the JRs.<br /> <br /> Five items are handwritten "Strictly Confidential" or "Personal" at the top. Almost all items are in fine condition with only a few very good due to aging. Usual mail creasing, multiple page letters are pinned at the top, editorial annotation marks in pencil.<br /> <br /> "Then one day the happy thought came to me that throughout that region the early history had been written by the Jesuit missionaries. I thought it over, and thought of the only edition - the three large and thick volume royal 8vo of the French, but as I came to investigate I found that a good deal was written by those Jesuit missionaries in Latin and Spanish as well. I went up to to Madison to talk with Doctor Thwaites, who had become a good customer and a good friend. I discussed the matter with him, and then took it up at the next directors' meeting. They seemed to be willing to furnish the money; and Dr. Thwaites decided, after proper compensation, that he would accept the editorship. (A. H. Clark, "From Father, to Son, and Once Again, 2002). Thus began one of the great editor / publisher relationships in the subject of American History.<br /> <br /> Reuben Gold Thwaites (1853-1913) was a librarian, historian and editor. "Next to Parkman [Francis], Thwaites will take rank, among the eminent historians of the West. Where Parkman was the pioneer, Thwaites was the follower, the settler, and the cultivator, and to him is due more than to any other of our contemporaries the revelation of the life and history of the Old Northwest (Woodburn, J. A.) Thwaites was largely a self taught scholar. He attended public schools at the elementary level, and put himself through a vigorous syllabus of self-taught college courses while working farms in the Oshkosh, WI area. In 1874-74 he attended Yale University for a year of graduate studies, but did not receive a degree. <br /> <br /> Returning to Wisconsin, Thwaites settled in Madison, and for the next ten years proved his mettle in a series of journalist, editorial and printing responsibilities with local and state newspapers. In 1885 he became assistant to Lyman C. Draper, corresponding secretary of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, and assumed Draper's position upon his retirement in Jan. 1887. Thwaites continued in this capacity, greatly expanding the Society's collection of documents and historical items until his death. His scholarly discipline, commitment to the collection and superlative capabilities as an administrator established both his state and national reputation.<br /> <br /> Perhaps Thwaites' most singular standout talent was that of an editor of primary source historical documents. "The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents" (71 Vols. & 2 Vols. Index) was the first, but not the last of his many undertakings. The others include: "Lewis and Clark Journals" (8 Vols.), "Early Western Travels" (33 vols.), and "Collections of the State Historical Society" (vols. 11-20).<br /> <br /> Recognition of Thwaites' skills and contributions came more in the guise of his appointments than his awards, though he was awarded an LL.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1904. Additionally, he was elected president of the American Librarian Association in 1900 and President of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association in 1910.<br /> <br /> SIGNIFICANT CONTENT: These letters contain insightful, first person edits of this essential work. Additionally, the pages marked Confidential contain opinions, politics and a faint whiff professional competitiveness.

George Wingate entered the Civil War as a private in the New York State Guard. He soon discovered that the militia had very poor shooting skills, and devoted himself to correcting that failing. By the end of the war he had been promoted to Captain, and was recognized as a leading expert on marksmanship training. William Conant Church was the editor of the Army and Navy Journal. After the war he recognized Wingate's expertise and asked him to write a series of articles on marksmanship and rifle training which he published in the Journal.These articles were immediately widely and highly acclaimed. Church and Wingate decided an organization was needed to facilitate the spread of this knowledge, and together founded The National Rifle Association. The articles from the Army and Navy Journal were collected, and along with additional material were published in 1872 as "Manual for Rifle Practice".

Rubbing to corners and minor spotting and toning throughout, else near-fine.. A superb copy of the collected edition of the Junius Letters. Originally published in the London Public Advertiser from January 21, 1769 to January 21, 1772 under the pseudonym "Junius," the so-called "Junius Letters" were polemical letters directed to, and highly critical of, the government of King George III. In the letters, Junius poured brilliant and slanderous invective upon Tory-minded English ministers on account of various public policies that allegedly ruined England and drove the American colonies toward rebellion. The letters were widely regarded as polemical masterpieces by English and American observers, and they were widely reprinted in English and colonial newspapers, lending moral support to the early revolutionary cause in America. Among other…

Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist. France, supported by the United States, was then fighting to retain its hold in Indochina against the Vietminh, the Communist-led nationalist movement there. As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience. Then, in 1959, I was assigned to cover eastern Asia; the region that included Vietnam became my beat for more than two decades. I visited Vietnam most recently in 1981 for seven weeks, the longest permitted an American correspondent since the Communists gained control of the entire…

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common.
