ARCHIVE OF CORRESPONDENCE FROM ANSEL ADAMS 1. Adams, Ansel. Archive of correspondence from Ansel Adams to his friend and physician. 18 typed letters, signed. All on postcards or greeting cards with photographs by Ansel Adams. Various sizes 4¼x6” to 5x7”. Also a typed note, signed by Adam’s assistant Mary Alinder, a 1983 calligraphic greeting from Virginia & Ansel, unsigned, an invitation to a December, 1979 show of Ansel Adams and the West at The Oakland Museum, as well as approximately 45 unused postcards with images by Adams. Salinas, CA: 1978-1983 An interesting and revealing group of correspondence between Adams and his physician during the final years of his life. Adams relates his health and activities to his longtime friend and physician, shares blood pressure readings and vitals, questions the doctors instructions, etc., often with an obvious sense of humor to his thoughts. Some selected passages: “Drove to Yosemite today in my new car...The drive was fine and I have no reaction to the altitude. I did have more-than-usual vertigo on lying down and getting up, but none driving or walking.” (6/8/78); Please doctor, can I look at girlie magazines after the operation????” (12/21/78); “I signed over 3000 books during the trip! Right hand holding up fine. I stopped when I began signing Alfred Stieglitz, Karl Marx, etc.!!!” (9/23/79); I always through(sic) I had two by-passes, but now I have three!!!...Have a tricycle, which is better than traveling nowhere indoors. I use it on the road round the house. Most level (although I do enjoy a new moment of downhill whizz!). (2/6/80). “I have arranged for a termite man to clear out my head. He said he would if he did not have to give you a cut.” (3/20/80); “My heart is going strong, my circulation not so good. It appears both by-passes are plugged...They tell me my heart is running on co-lateral circulation...(5/14/81); “I continue to be busy with books, etc. I shall be 81 next Sunday...I am recovering from a nasty flu-bug which injures my ego and interferes with my work.”(2/16/83). In a letter dated 10/11/80, Adams offers his opinion on Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan: “I am seriously worried about Reagan...Reagan is a very dangerous man, simply because he is a nit-wit, makes the most erronious(sic) statements, and has revealed himself as the tool of some “special interests” of dire intent. His opposition to the E.P.A. and the E.R.A. clearly shows stupidity and dire influence. Mention of Gen. Haig as Secretary of Defence simply brings World War III close to reality. These are terrible people and - if they are elected - could bring us close to a Dictatorship in a short time. Don’t forget Hitler; he was certainly not bright, but he was used by people who were both bright and evil.” Fine. (3000/5000)

3. (Airmail) Western Air Express Inc. California Aeroscapes. [8] pp. including wrappers. 4 color photographs. 5¼x7¼, white wrappers. Western Air Express Inc., [c.1920s] In 1925, the United States Postal Service began to give airlines contracts to carry air mail throughout the country. Western Airlines first incorporated in 1925 as Western Air Express by Harris Hanshue. It applied for, and was awarded, the 650-mile long Contract Air Mail Route #4 (CAM-4) from Salt Lake City, Utah to Los Angeles. The company reincorporated in 1928 as Western Air Express Corp. Then, in 1930, purchased Standard Air Lines, subsidiary of Aero Corp. of Ca. founded in 1926 by Paul E. Richter, Jack Frye and Walter Hamilton. WAE with Fokker aircraft merged with Transcontinental Air Transport to form TWA. “California invites you to view her scenic wonders from the air. Regular airplane passenger services now operate on schedule between the principal cities of the Golden State. Special scenic airplane tours by arrangement.” With aerial photographs of El Capitan, Pinnacle Peaks, and Yosemite Valley. A scarce item, no copies located by OCLC / Worldcat. A touch of wear from handling; near fine. (400/600)

EIGHT LOTS OF ALASKA AND THE ARCTIC 4. (Alaska & Arctic) Swanton, Ella L. Autograph Letter Signed - 1905 Looking For Peary in the Arctic. 4 pp. + original mailing envelope. Nome, Alaska: September 7, 1905 To Arthur M. Compton, Portland, Oregon: “…Have just returned from a trip to the Arctic, went up to meet Peary, but he evidently hasn’t found the pole yet. Alice Nash… will tell you of some of our numerous ‘stunts’ when you see her…If only you and the girl had been with us on our northern trip!! It was great! Off the beaten path and just fine and dandy! Frank is off at a Masonic banquet and I am trying to rush things for the Str. tomorrow…I shall go out by the first boat and I hope to have our house in order by the time Frank gets to Portland…” Portland businessman Frank Swanton became US Postmaster at Nome, Alaska during the Yukon Gold Rush, a thankless job that required handling the enormous crush of mail, sent to and from adventurous prospectors, which accumulated during the winter season when steamer transportation with the “outside world” became impossible. His wife, Ella Leotta, was a Portland socialite, popular as a professional “elocutionist” and “dramatic reader” who was credited, while visiting her husband, with doing “active humanitarian work” among Indians “within the Arctic circle”. She was apparently serious about searching in the Arctic for Robert Peary, then on his second quest to reach the North Pole, which, as Mrs. Swanton records, eluded him, though eight months later, he claimed to have achieved a “Farthest North” world record. Near fine. (150/250)

Page 2 5. (Alaska) Tuffin, H.Y. Autograph Letter Signed - 1901 Valdez Miner who would die carrying mail by dog sled. 6 pp. Valdez, Alaska: Oct. 27-Nov. 4, 1901 To his sister in Panora, Iowa: “…Ernest and I have been gone nearly two years now… a big transport, the “Thompson”, has left Seattle for Valdez and should be here in a few days… the boys will be apt to leave on her, for they are anxious and will leave in the first good ship that comes along. Some will go to Seattle and some few talk of going by way of San Fran. I have made up my mind to stay another year so I don’t allow myself to entertain homesick feelings, perhaps when the time comes to go I will be as anxious to go as the other boys are now… the impression… that we were in hard shape and likely to suffer this winter… You folks must get over that idea, that just because enough wasn’t taken out to declare a dividend that we are going to suffer in the last for the necessities of life. Why there are more provisions in Valdez than you have in Panora…Inclosed find a little nugget, keep it and take care of it for me, it is not worth much, but the reason I want to keep it is because it came off of a particular claim. And with the exception of a little rust on the outside it is nearly pure gold…Had a telegram from Ernest late Sunday night, sent from No. 3 on the other side of the Summit…I expect another telegram from him when he reaches Copper Center, that is as far as the telegraph line is completed, so… I won’t hear anything more from him until Nov. mail comes out. The weather has taken quite a change the past two days, much colder and a strong wind blowing from off the Glacier. You never saw a wind in Iowa equal to it, no snow here on the beach as yet, but the air is full of sand and the sea is rough. Had a very high tide…covered Main Street pretty well up, enough so that I saw one party using a boat up and down the sidewalk, a small and modern Venice…Some of the boys have been trying sea fishing and with fair success for we have had several messes of fresh cod, also caught a small shark one morning…The wind has been blowing a perfect gale the past week but today has been fairly quiet, snowed… some little today…” Two months after writing this letter, with his older brother Ernest still “inside”, prospecting in the interior, 24 year-old Horace Young Tuffin undertook to carry the mail by dog sled from Valdez south to Cordova and then on a longer and more dangerous route northward. Against the advice of “old timers”, he went out in a blizzard and, not far from his destination, lost his way. With his matches wet and his axe broken, he let his dogs loose and apparently lay down to rest and ease his hunger pains. On December 29, 1901, an Indian guide found him frozen to death, his lead dog still loyally by his side. Near fine. (300/500)

6. (Alaska) 1899 Stereoview of Klondike gold mining. 1 stereoview of “Scratching out the Precious Metal on French Hill, Alaska”. Littleton, NH / NY: B.W. Kilburn / James M.

Scarce. Soliday I:80. One issue with laid in subscription post card and additional yellow printed sheet advertising a year’s subscription of the magazine for only $3.00.

They are my gold.” The book is “dedicated to disappointed gold-hunters the world over.” The wrapper bound issue is far less common that the issue bound in cloth and marbled boards. Graff 1678; Smith 3904. Wrappers nearly detached from text block, some faint finger soiling and a few tiny stains to wrappers; very good. (150/200)

Volume Eight: California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona with extension routes into Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and New Mexico. 794 pp. Numerous maps, one of them fold-out. 23.5x13 cm. (9¼x5”), cloth wrappers. New York: Automobile Blue Book Publishing Co., 1920 Complete guide top motoring in the Western states at the start of the roaring twenties, with countless routes and route maps, descriptions of the locales to be visited, lodging, activities including golf, and many advertisements. OCLC/WorldCat lists only two copies, at the Sonoma County Library, and the Alabama Department of Archives. Some rubbing and wear to covers, very good. (300/500)

22. (Automobiles) Official Catalog Program of the Twenty-Third Annual Pacific Automobile Show. 32 pp. Numerous advertisements. 23.5x15 cm. (9¼x6”), original pictorial wrappers. San Francisco: [Guaranty Ptg.], 1938 Program for one of the leading automobile shows on the West Coast.

23. (Aviation) 1920 Chinese-American Pilot in Redwood City - photograph. Original photograph. 8.5x14 cm (3¼x5½”). Photograph of a pilot, apparently Asian, seated on the wing of an airplane, inscribed “Sincerely Yours, Wallace S. Chinn. 7-13-20”. The picture appears to be taken at the airfield at Redwood City, California, in operation from 1915 until the 1930s as site of a School of Aviation then owned by World War I flying ace Walter Varney, an aviation pioneer who later founded a company that evolved into United Airlines. Given that there must have been few Chinese-American aviators in 1920, it’s surprising that there seems to be no historical record of a Wallace S. Chinn, not even in the 1920 US Census. A bit faded over time; very good. (150/250)

(Aviation - 1938 Curtiss-Wright Aviation Mechanics School, Los Angeles, Bans Negroes) Curtiss- Wright Technical Institute. “With Wings and Courage” [promotional booklet]. 40 pp. Original blue wrappers, silver and red crest on front cover. Los Angeles, CA: Grand-Central Air Terminal, [c.1938] Headed by a former Air Corps Major and boasting that the Institute was “the only school in the West approved by and giving mechanics training to the U.S. Army Air Corps”, this booklet offers general information for prospective students about the Institute’s history and management, training policy, and special Curriculum for Master Mechanics and Aeronautical Engineers. Inserted in the back is an unused Application for Registration which states: “The management reserves the right to refuse entrance to any one not acceptable.

Page 8 25. (Aviation) Schroeder, R.W. Autograph Letter Signed - 1919 US Army Air Service’s Chief Test Pilot. 2pp.+ original mailing envelope. Dayton, OH: Oct. 18, 1919 To Chester Bohn (Bell Telephone engineer), Chicago: “…I am still at the flying game as you can see and trying to [do] something unusual or something that the other fellows have not done…I wrote to Bill and tried to get him to enlist in my squadron and he was to tell you to join also before being drafted, and I never heard a word from either of you. However, Bill always was wild and careless so I did not feel bad about it. Yes I was in the New York-Toronto Race. I won first prize $2,500 also the American Flying Club Trophy and the Government Reliability Race, but the only thing I got out of it was a gold watch. I have been doing some experimental work with a super-charged Liberty motor. I can maintain full H.P. up to 22,000 feet. I have been up to 37,000 feet with a passenger…I am sure I will be able to reach 40,000 true Altitude by myself before long. 31,800 feet is the world’s Record for height with a pass. I am in charge of all test experimental flying for the Government and have been for about a year and a half. They froze me out of the trans-continental race by not sending me a entry blank in time. I have a machine here that will make 152 m.p.h. and they were afraid of me, but just wait, I’ll get at ‘em yet…” After working as a chauffeur and a telephone employee, Rudolph William Schroeder became an airplane mechanic before enlisting as a pilot in the US Army Corps, soon breaking all records for “looping the loop” 39 times in his flying machine. The 34 year-old Major went on to win the One Man World Altitude Record in 1920 and later became an Aviation Engineer with his own aircraft development company in Illinois. Creasing from folding; very good. (200/300)

Page 23 CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH LETTER 70. (California Gold Rush) Foster & Manning. Autograph Letter Signed - 1850 ‘Lord’ George Gordon’s California Association Ship in Nicaragua. 2 pp. Written to Captain J.W.Goodrich, Bark Clarissa Perkins, and signed Foster + Manning. Realejo [Nicaragua]: April 3, 1850 “…our Mr. Manning’s letter to Mr. Monkhouse in answer to those of Mr. Gordon… relative to that Gent.’s wishes respecting the procuring a Cargo of Lumber for your vessel. It is entirely out of our line of business any speculation of the kind pointed out by Mr. Gordon, and although in his prior letters of October and November last, he expresses an intention of sending a vessel here to procure Cargo of Timber, states at same time very naturally that in the absence of Funds, he will procure approved Letters of Credit in good Houses in the States. However Mr. Monkhouse has presented us nothing of the kind, but on the contrary expects that we should make advances to meet Ships disbursements and expenses. However willing we may be to oblige Mr. Gordon or yourself, those circumstances places us under the necessity of declining entering in any way whatever into any spec. with respect to the Clarissa Perkins. We are truly sorry that Mr. Gordon should have commenced a voyage which must prove an unfortunate one, and we would certainly recommend your returning to San Francisco as soon as possible to avoid further loss. You will not be able to obtain any Freight from hence to California, and unless you were liberally supplied with funds, you could not compete with the many fine vessels now in Panama waiting for Passengers…”; with: James W. Goodrich, Autograph Document Signed as Master, Barque Ernestina. Montevideo, Uruguay, April 20, 1847. Statement of expenses of the vessel, including wages paid to officers and crew and the purchase of a cargo of salt. One of the most famous of early Gold Rush entrepreneurs, George Gordon, (styled “Lord” though he was no British nobleman) organized a “California Association” in 1848, collecting $160 each from 200 adventurous pioneers, who were to be transported from New York to San Francisco and the gold fields beyond on a first-class sailing vessel, commanded by an experienced captain. The first band of130 left New York on February 6, 1849 aboard the Clarissa Perkins, Captain James W. Goodrich commanding, for a hair-raising 8-month voyage around the Horn. A second group, under Gordon’s own command, took a new route via Nicaragua, and “after enduring unheard-of hardships” arrived in San Francisco in October 1849, a month after Goodrich’s ship (described as an overcrowded “foul and leaky craft…scandalously unseaworthy”) reached port, “bearing a party of angry worn-out adventurers, who openly vowed that if Gordon had been there upon their arrival they would have hanged him.” Some of the passengers probably also blamed their sufferings on Captain Goodrich, though he was indeed an experienced mariner who, as the document here attests, had made earlier voyages in South American waters. Once in California, “Lord” Gordon had no reluctance about sending Goodrich and the Clarissa Perkins back to Nicaragua on the hapless trip described in this letter – hapless because Gordon’s “absence of Funds” made it impossible for Goodrich to buy a profitable cargo to carry back to San Francisco. And neither John Foster nor Thomas Manning, the British merchants who held a monopoly of Nicaraguan lumber shipments to the Pacific coast, would gamble a farthing on Gordon’s ventures. Gordon himself later became a wealthy San Francisco wheeler-dealer whose California Association misadventures were recorded in Gertrude Atherton’s first novel and a 1968 historical account of the Zamorano Club. But original manuscript material on his first Gold Rush enterprise are rarely found outside of institutional collections. Lightly yellowed over time; very good. (500/800)

104. (Chinese immigrants) Porteous, George M. Autograph Letter Signed - 1890 US Census mulls criminal identification for Chinese immigrants. 1 pp. With original mailing envelope. On stationery of American Prison Bureau. Chicago: March 16, 1890 To Mrs. Chabot, 11th and Madison Streets, Oakland: “…Yours of the 6th give me some light on a question I had my attention called to while recently in Washington which was that the Census Department wanted to use this system on the Chinese…I am at a loss to know in what way it would be applicable...I have been compelled to delay my trip west in consequence of some information I got while in Washington. I will have to go there again before I can make definite arrangements…” Closely connected with the Chicago Police Department, George Porteous became the chief American booster of Alphonse Bertillon’s system of “anthropometric” measures for identifying criminals, a popular pseudo-scientific law enforcement technique before the introduction of fingerprinting. Porteous later became the first Superintendent of the National Bureau of Criminal Identification, which eventually merged with the FBI. “Bertillonage” probably intrigued white Census Bureau officials to whom all “Orientals” looked alike. The woman to whom Porteous wrote was undoubtedly a relation of Anthony Chabot, the French Canadian Gold Rush pioneer who became the richest man in Alameda County by building a giant reservoir to supply water to the East Bay, an engineering feat for which he employed 800 newly-arrived Chinese immigrant laborers. Near fine. (120/140)

Page 32 105. (Chinese in California) Gaylord, W.H. Autograph Letter Signed - 1878 Ah Sam buys a mining claim in Coloma, California. 2 pp. Webber Creek, Coloma, California: Oct. 6, 1878 “…they are still at work on the Pyramid. I got all my money over there which was $64. James McBeath has sold the claim to Ah Sam for $400 and there is 12 Chinaman living in the house. I had a splendid time at the state fair, there was about 15 thousand people there, every hotel was full and there was many a man that had to walk in the streets at night because they did not have any place to sleep….: The Pyramid Mine, west of Placerville, was one of many mines near Coloma – where the Gold Rush began. James McBeath was a Scotsman who had come to Placerville from Glasgow to seek his fortune in the mines during the Civil War and apparently had no reservations about business dealing with a Chinese. Ah Sam may have been the unlucky soul reportedly cheated out of a fortune by two of his Chinese workers who, while shoveling dirt into his sluice box line a short distance from their cabin, discovered a large gold nugget, which they concealed until they crept away during the night, making their way to San Francisco – where they sold it for $3,000. A few faint yellow spots; very good. (150/250)

106. (Chinese in California) Leavitt, Mary. Autograph Letter, Signed - 1874 “Talkative” Chinese cook in California mining country. 2 pp. With original stamped mailing envelope. To her son. John Nelson Davidson in Iowa. Plum Valley, California: Sept. 24, 1874 Writing from a Gold country way station on the road to Virginia City, she deplores a Circus to be held on a Sunday at a nearby mining camp (“a disgrace to a civilized country. It should not be allowed”); sends news of one Uncle who was going to the State Fair in Sacramento with his wife, living at Gold Hill near Placerville after her son-in-law had “got hurt in the mines”, another uncle profitably carrying lumber on wagons led by teams of six horses, and a friend who “got into a gambling den on his way over here from Pioche [Nevada] and lost everything he had…” But her most colorful observation was of “the Chinaman cook here, gets shaved all around his head every once in a while, he looks fearfully just after being shaved but it soon grows out again. His name is Hop, he is quite good natured and inquisitive and a great talker if he can get any one to talk with…” Light wear to envelope, top half of letter yellowed on one side; very good. (150/250)

Granting Chang Wang a three-month license to sell merchandise, for a payment of $11.25. Measures 3¼x8”. Placer County / Auburn, Calif.: June 29, 1854 The US Census has no record for a Chang Wang living anywhere in California in the Gold Rush era, but this is not surprising, given the 19th century Census’ cavalier attitude toward any foreign-sounding surname, Asian or otherwise. Far better documented is the life of the Country Treasurer who collected Wang’s $11, Smith later becoming District Attorney and Judge, as well as wealthy owner of the city water-works. Near fine. (100/150)

Near fine. (100/150)

Page 34 114. (Colonial - 1739 Boston Publisher and Bookseller) Hubbard, Captain Isaac. Autograph Letter Signed. 1 pp. Springfield, [Massachusetts]: Sept. 27, 1739 To Abner Ely; “I desire you to pay to Cpt. Daniel Henchman Book seller in Boston the sum of two Hundred Pounds…” Undoubtedly in payment for Henchman’s service as officer of the Militia (later as Lt. Colonel) which was prepared to do battle with hostile Indians as well as the potential French enemies of Britain. Henchman (1689-1761) was also a Justice of the Peace and Overseer of the Poor and a businessmen with shipping interests who established the first Paper Mill in Massachusetts. But his real claim to fame was as a Boston bookseller and, for over forty years, a publisher whose name appears in the colophon of such significant volumes as Increase Mather’s Practical Truths (1718), Samuel Penhallow’s History of Wars of New England with Eastern Indians (1726), the Life of David Brainerd (1749), and a revised edition of the famous Bay Psalm Book (1758). According to bibliographic legend, he is also said to have privately produced the first American edition of the Bible in English - though with a false London imprint. Ink bleeding a bit, yellowed with age; very good. (150/250)

Their stage run to Lake City (approximately 25 miles due west of Ouray and Telluride (Uncompahgre Mountain, shown on this broadside, is between them) began in 1877.

There are two Chinese on the back of the stage, and three prospectors hiking towards the gold fields. In the lower margin at left is a box with text: “This is the Only Stage Line Running to all Points in New Mexico and the San Juan Mining District in Southern Colorado, in Connection with the Denver & Rio Grande, Kansas Pacific, and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railways.

Page 38 TEN LOTS OF CUBAN MANUSCRIPTS AND DOCUMENTS 127. (Cuba - Cholera Epidemic of 1833) *. Seventeen manuscript documents relating to the cholera epidemic in Havana in 1833. 17 documents comprising 68 pages, handwritten in ink, in Spanish, being reports from different neighborhoods of Havana containing information on deaths and new illnesses accredited to the cholera outbreak. Approx. 21.5x16.5 cm. (8½x6¼”), unbound. Habana, Cuba: 1833 Cholera arrived in the Caribbean for the first time in late February (24 or 25), 1833. The first reported death was of a Catalan man named Jose Soler who lived in the Lazaro neighborhood of Havana, Cuba. This epidemic killed an estimated 30 000 people on the island. The present group of documents date from March 10th, 11th and 12th of 1833, the very early stage of the epidemic. The documents are written and signed by members of the local authorities in Havana. All but one indicate the Governor & Captain General of Cuba as the addressee. At the time it was Mariano Ricafort Palacin y Abarca (1776-1846). The documents contain detailed information that includes names of the deceased, their age, in some cases their address as well as their social status. Slaves, prisoners, soldiers and regular residents are spoken of. Some documents contain curious information - for example: they state that the bodies have been buried right away as per orders. In another instance there is a description of a treatment given to persons that have fallen ill. A few examples: * Havana, March 11, 1833. Barrio de San Felipe. Signed by Jose de Sola. This document informs that on March 10 two people died of the disease in the neighborhood of San Felipe. Names of Don Juan Pellon as well as a black slave Joaquin de Casares. Both have been attended by a doctor. * Havana, March 10, 1833. Castillo de la Junta. Signed by Don Juan Campos. The document reports that a prisoner named Carlos Morel, a black slave of Lucumi descent passed away. It also informs that second lieutenant Fernando de las Penas and another prisoner Dionisio Espinosa a black slave have fallen sick with the same Lot 127 symptoms and are being treated by doctors. * Havana, March 11, 1833. Barrio de San Francisco. Signed by Antonio Tahuray (?). On March 11, 1833, Mr. Antonio E. Tahuary wrote a report of three incidents that occurred on March 10, 1833 at the Marine base in Havana. At around 8:45 p.m. Juan Moreno, born in the Canary Islands, came down with a violent virus. This virus was so strong that he was not able to walk on his own. He was immediately attended to and given a cup of chamomile tea with malambo and 30 drops of elipsis. This treatment was bought at Dr. Jose Bernandino de Castro’s pharmacy located on Aguila Street in the Jesus Maria neighborhood. Then Mr. Moreno was covered with a blanket and jacket, which he had on hand. According to a First Reserve Corporal the neighborhood commissary was notified so that Mr. Moreno would be transported to the San Juan Hospital, this occurred at 10 p.m. The same night and at the same Marine base, Dr. Francisco Bustamante’s wife was affected with the same virus around 9 p.m. She was given the same treatment and by 8 p.m. on March 11, 1833 she was well and out of danger. Mr Antonio Tahuary’s slave, Raphael was also afflicted with the same virus and given the same treatment and is also in good condition. Paper of a few documents darkened, generally very good or better. (1500/2500)

Approx. 21.5x16 cm. (8½x6¼”). Cuba: 1854 Documents relating to a Royal Decree from May 12, 1854 issued by the Queen of Spain Isabella II which ordered the construction of a monument in Havana that would honor Christopher Columbus and also be a place where his ashes would be deposited. The 13 documents in this set talk about the collection of funds in Spain but mostly in Cuba which would be used for the construction. Issued from all levels of the government including local municipalities, from Havana, Alcranes, Sabanilla, Corral Cuevo, Ceiba Mocha, Camarioca, etc. It is worth noting that at the time when Isabella II issued this decree Columbus’ remains were kept in Catedral de la Habana. They were kept there between 1796 and 1898 when they were moved back to Spain. It is unclear if the monument built as requested by Isabella II is actually a home to any of Columbus’ ashes.

Cuba: 1826 The first document, written from Guira (now in Artemisa province, prior to 2011 part of Havana province), is a letter written to the President Governor General advising that black men residing on large and medium-sized farms not frequent taverns where alcohol is sold, as this could result in liaisons with slaves who have escaped to the hills. The other two documents are diary-like accounts written in Cayajabo, Pinar del Rio Province by bounty hunter Jose Perez Sanchez, recording his visits to various sugar refineries and hamlets, searching for escaped slaves. Partial translation/summary available on request. Very good or better condition. (600/900)

Madrid: Aug. 19 & Sept. 17, 1857 Official reports from Spain on debates amongst the British relating to slavery and the slave trade, each addressed to the Governor Captain General of Cuba. The first relates to the decision of the French government to introduce free black men in their colonies (which was felt might revive the slave trade), with a proposal to send a message to the [British] Queen in order to deter this type of practice among her subjects as well as the purchase of slaves. The second document is a follow-up, and relates more specifically to Cuba, with MP Buxton calling for decisive action be taken against Spain in the same way that it was taken against Brazil. The document further relates that “Lord Palmerston considered this motion useful and references were made to the Spanish lack of adherence to international treaties and the greed of the Cuban authorities. He also stated that the Spanish situation was not identical to Brazil’s, indicating that the British government would redouble its efforts to make Spain adhere to the international treaties.” Translations of both documents available on request. Some bleed-through of the writing, very good. (500/800)

134. (Cuba - Slavery 1845 - escapees from a sugar refinery) Four manuscript documents relating to the existence of escaped slaves in the area of the sugar refiner “La Par”. Four ink manuscript documents in Spanish, comprising 9 pages in all. 21.5x15.5 cm. (8½x6”). Guanabana, Matanzas Province, Cuba: 1845 The first document, of four lines, seems to be a cover for the other documents, addressed to “El Capt. de la Guanabana,” about the “existence of an area with seditious black men in the immediacy of the sugar refinery ‘La Par’”. The second document relates to a planned operation to attack the escaped slaves, with a not advising the operation should take place without loss of life if possible.

Madrid: May 20, 1857 Letter from Spanish authorities to their representative in Cuba relating that the British had informed them of a ship carrying 400 slaves which had arrived in Cuba, the slaves having been ‘ordered’ by commercial houses in Havana. The ship on which they were transported from Angola was apparently of U.S. registry, and the payment for the slaves seems to have been made by one Joao Alberto Machado, a naturalized citizen of the U.S. Though slavery was still practiced in both Cuba and the United States, both had theoretically banned the import of slaves from Africa, and Great Britain was ever vigilant in the cause of abolitionism. Partial translation/summary available on request. Some bleed-through of writing; very good. (500/800)

ATTRIBUTED TO MAYNARD DIXON 149. Dixon, Maynard, attrib. Original gouache painting on board attributed to Maynard Dixon. Color gouache on heavy illustration board, initialed lower left MD. 45.5x106 cm. (17¾x41¾”). No place: No date

Lot 149 Apparently a study for a mural, with a pencil notation on the front bottom border denoting 20’, which might indicate the work was to be produced as a large mural. The scene shows a Pony Express rider leaving a U.S. Mail post office on the prairie frontier with five cowboy figures standing and watching with their horses nearby, as he leaves. The men hold letters that he apparently has just delivered and a watchful Indian sits cross legged observing from the front of the building. We have done research in an attempt to confirm that this is an original Maynard Dixon work and have been unable verify that it is, and we have not been able to document the image as ever having been produced elsewhere, either as a work of art or in a publication. Other than the initials MD, there is no identification either on the front or the reverse of the image, except for the notation denoting 20’. The provenance of the art is quite interesting. It was sold in 1954 to the father of the present consignor by the venerable San Francisco antiquarian bookseller David Magee, who speaks of the picture as by Maynard Dixon. Along with the item is the original Magee bill of sale along with four pieces of correspondence concerning payment for the item. A nicely done work of art depicting a typical early Western scene. In very good condition with its period frame. (2000/3000)

180. Harrison, Benjamin. Two 1-page manuscript legal documents - 1862-69 future President Benjamin Harrison as Civil War-Era lawyer. Two 1-page Manuscript Legal Documents Signed (as “Harrison & Fishback, Attys for Deft.” and “Porter, Harrison & Fishback, Attys for said Deft.”), Marion County, Indiana, docketing notes on verso dated Feb. 13, 1862 and Sept. 23, 1869; with a third Manuscript Legal Document of “Wallace & Harrison”, Sept. 24, 1859, apparently not in Harrison’s hand. Marion County, Indiana: 1862-1869 All three involve civil suits in which Harrison and his partners were counsel. In 1858, 25 year- old Benjamin Harrison opened his first law office in Indianapolis in partnership with William Wallace. When Wallace was elected County Clerk in 1860, Harrison found a new partner in William Fishback, who maintained their office while Harrison, having won his first elective office as Reporter of the Indiana Supreme Court, went off to fight in the Civil War. The second of these documents was written just four months before he went into uniform, serving as Colonel of the 70th Indiana Infantry in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. Having compared the handwriting of the 1862 and 1869 documents to an autograph letter that Harrison sent President Lincoln in March 1861 (now held, and displayed online, by the Shapell Manuscript Foundation), we believe they were almost certainly both written and signed by Harrison. Legal papers written by Harrison as a young lawyer have become scarce since a small group of such documents were sold in the 1970s; only one has appeared at auction in the past thirty years. A bit of yellowing; else near fine. (300/500)

Page 53 WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST COMMENTS ON THE LINDBERGH KIDNAPPING 185. Hearst, William Randolph. Original manuscript by William Randolph Hearst, written on a page of the New York American newspaper, commenting on two of the stories. Approx. 28 lines of manuscript, of varying length up to 50.5 cm. (20”), written in the margins and on the printed portion of p.5 of the Nov. 30, 1935 issue of the New York American. Newspaper is 55x42.5 cm. (21½x16¾”), archivally framed under plexiglass. [New York?]: c. Nov. 30, 1935 William Randolph Hearst, newspaper magnate with enormous political influence, comments on two short articles in his newspaper the New York American, one about Bruno Hauptmann, alleged kidnapper of Charles Lindbergh’s baby son, the other about the opinion a group of clergymen had of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The first article begins “Bruno Hauptman is innocent in the opinion of his new spiritual advisor, the Rev. John Matthieson, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church…” The second article is headlined “Clerics Hail Roosevelt as Toilers’ Friend. 47 Pastors and Religious Educators, However, Urge Him To Go Further in ‘Move Left,’” and lauds the president for “doing more for the working people than any previous Administration…” The 72-year-old Hearst sees a commonality of theme in the stories, and is decidedly uncomplimentary to the Democratic president: “Dear Mr. Delucaras (?), Many clergymen are good souls and mean well but are painfully innocent and unpractical and ignorant of the ways of the world. One such yesterday discovered that murderer Hauptman is a gentleman and a child of God consequently a gentleman and a child of God does not lie and consequently Hauptman is innocent… Several other worthy clergymen assembled and decided that President Roosevelt was also to all intents and purposes a child of God and couldn’t lie although on frequent occasions he has ???? something vaguely resembling a contract ???? desperately near it. These good clergymen concluded that Roosevelt is the toilers’ friend and that he ought to go still further to the left than he has gone - even to the jumping off place and that the profit system ought to be abolished and that the government ought to take over the basic industries and so on and so forth… There are to be sure a few people in the country more radically unbalanced than this but they for the most part are in asylums. Exactly how the toiler is benefited by the government bureaucracy to the breaking point the industry which must in the last analysis provide him with employment and exactly how industry is to be benefited by taking it out of the hands of competent and experienced business men and putting it in the hands of incompetent and very largely dishonest politicians the reverent clerics do not say… In the first steamer that sails with deported communists a few berths should be reserved for reverend but red eyed radical children of God who mean well perhaps but teach subversive nonsense.” After penning this revealing diatribe, Hearst evidently turned it over to his personal secretary Joseph Willicombe for transcription. Provenance: Joan Willicombe, daughter of Joseph Willicombe. Some chipping around the edges affecting a few words, old folds, else very good. (6000/9000)

I shall either sell or let it to Chinamen. C.D.Ladd that keeps a gun store on Kearny occupied it for five years…” Daniel Holland was a founding father of the city of Los Gatos, moving there after owning businesses in San Francisco and Oakland in the 1870s.

After Congress authorized “Indian removal” to the west, McCoy spent ten years surveying boundaries of possible reservations for more than 20 tribes. This report describes, in McCoy’s own words, his early surveying labors on behalf of the Cherokee, Creek and Pawnee tribes, his various “disappointments”, and the government vaccination program which, largely through his efforts, helped to stem a smallpox epidemic which had killed thousands of Indians who were being forced to move westward.

Lot 210

Alexander Mackenzie, a senior wintering partner with the North West Company, sought an overland passage from the fur-bearing regions of the Athabasca Country to the Pacific Ocean. Following Peter Pond’s speculation that the Pacific Ocean might be reached by a water route from Great Slave Lake, his first expedition in 1789 started out at Fort Chipewyan. This route did not take him to the Pacific as he had hoped, but to the Arctic “Frozen Ocean” down the river that would later become the Mackenzie River. In his second attempt to reach the Pacific, Mackenzie ascended the Peace River by canoe and on foot, and crossed over into the headwaters of the Fraser River. After being turned back by torrential currents, he and his party decided to make an overland attempt. They landed near the present site of Bella Coola, British Columbia. Mackenzie had reached the Pacific, and in so doing became the first white man to cross the American continent north of Mexico. Researchers now believe that the “Map of America… Exhibiting Mackenzie’s Track from Montreal to Fort Chipewyan from thence to the North Sea, in 1789 and to the West Pacific Ocean in 1793” was drawn by David Thompson. Hill 2: 1063; Peel 3: 55; Sabin 43414; Strathern 343; Streeter 3653; TPL 658. DCB V, 1801-20, p542.

Walla Walla, W.T.: “Statesman” Book and Job Printing Office, 1879 Scarce Washington territorial imprint, not listed in Graff, Howes, Smith, Soliday, Streeter, etc. and with only 9 institutional copies located in OCLC / Worldcat. In addition to describing his ocean journey, McConkey offers a detailed description of the bustling community of Walla Walla, its buildings, churches, agriculture, climate and social environment. Of the Columbia River he writes, “we hear much of the mighty Hudson, but it is an insignificant stream compared with the Columbia. If this river had country seats such as adorn the Hudson, it would be unequalled. Its scenery both in variety and picturesqueness far exceeds anything on the river.” An early Pacific Northwest work well deserving greater notice. Some uneven sunning to wrapper edges, a tiny tear at spine heel, tiny nick at spine head; very good. (500/800)

Page 88 ICONIC SUTRO BATH POSTER 305. (Sutro Baths) Large Lithograph of Sutro Baths, Interior View. Color lithograph on several sheets, approximately 73”x80”, later linen backing, wooden rollers. [San Francisco]: Printer unknown, [c. 1896]

Lot 305

Famous lithograph image of the Sutro Baths, a nice example with colors bright and unfaded, with bathers lined along the railings and spectators in the viewing gallery, a small number of patrons actually in the water of the pools. In 1896, the Sutro Baths was opened to the public as the world’s largest indoor swimming pool establishment. Built on western edge of San Francisco by entrepreneur and San Francisco mayor, Adolph Sutro, the breathtakingly vast glass, iron, wood, and reinforced concrete structure was mostly hidden in a small beach inlet below the Cliff House which was also owned by Adolph Sutro. A visitor to the baths had a choice of 7 different swimming pools (one fresh water and six salt water baths ranging in temperatures) and could visit a museum displaying Sutro’s large and varied personal collection of artifacts, a concert hall, and at one time, an ice skating rink. During high tides, water would flow directly into the pools from the nearby ocean, recycling the two million gallons of water in about an hour. Both the Cliff House and the former Baths site are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and operated by the United States National Park Service. Some cracking and loss of image in lower portion, affecting only the water and no figures or structures, a few small stains 3x4” or smaller; very good. (10000/15000)

Tatch…the Paulina…will be just the vessel, tho I know some of your folks don’t like Barques. In this country, we think them preferable…I wish the Paulina and Capt. Patch…every success and hope he will prove a fortunate ship. By the Zurgari that sailed for Boston this week, I sent Capt. Delano one of Greener’s celebrated guns that so much has been said about, with a set of Harpoons…would it not be as well to let Capt. Tatch

Page 94 take it out with him and test them. The testimonial from all the English Capts. are amaz- ingly strong and no ship now sails without 2 or 3 of them on aboard. You saw the account of Enderby’s failure, it will not affect the Whaling Co….Sperm Oil is prime at 82 to 83 Pounds…I am getting my name a little posted up with East India and China…and don’t mean to let Barings have all these nice cumshaws. They have just recd. a cargo of Whale Oil from Manilla which will be sold by auction on Wednesday…Whalebone 185 Pounds and sales making at this price…” Goddard, an American sperm-oil merchant in England, was a partner of prominent New Bed- ford ship owners Jirch Swift and Frederick Allen who owned the Paulina, a three-masted Bark; Captain John Tatch, 36 year-old German immigrant, took the ship on a 3 year-old whaling voy- age to the Indian ocean from December 1849 until May 1853. The Enderby family of London founded the South Seas Whale Fishery Company and established a maritime settlement on a volcanic island south of New Zealand which ultimately ended in financial disaster.

Page 95 IMPERIAL OCTAVO EDITION OF THE WILKES EXPEDITION NARRATIVE 328. Wilkes, Charles. Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition. During the Years 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842. 6 volumes including atlas. lx, 434; xv, [1], 476; xv, [1], 438; xvi, 539; xv, [1], 558 pp. + atlas.

(Large 8vo) 28.7x17.8 cm (11x7”), original blindstamped brown cloth stamped in gilt. Third Edition. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1845

Lot 328 Exceptional set of this official account of the first seaborne scientific expedition of the United States government, with significant provenance. The set was once in the library of the British explorer Julius Lucius Brenchley, with his engraved armorial bookplate on each front pastedown, and his ink signature on each front free endpaper. Brenchley was the author of “Jottings During the Cruise of H.M.S. ‘Curacoa’ among the South Sea Islands,” 1873, and was the co-author (with Jules Remy) of “Voyage au pays des Mormons,” 1860. During his travels, Brenchley visited every continent except Antarctica. He was especially active in the South Seas. He was a passionate collector of art, ethnography and natural history. He died in 1873 at the age of 56. This is the third edition of Wilkes’ important narrative, following on the “official” quarto edition of 100 copies (of which 63 were given to foreign nations and 25 destroyed by fire), and the “unofficial” edition of the same size limited to 150 copies. The present edition in imperial octavo is the earliest and best that is generally available, printed in slightly smaller type than the two preceding, but including the important atlas that was not issued with subsequent editions. As Howes notes, this was “The first United States scientific expedition by sea. Wilkes sailed along and surveyed the whole Northwest coast and his exploring parties penetrated into the interior at many points...” Hill notes that Wilkes “sailed into the Antarctic Ocean and along the Antarctic Continent from 150° to 97° East, reporting land at a number of points in the region now know as Wilkesland. He visited Tonga, the Fiji group, and the Hawaiian Islands in 1840, and in 1841 explored the west coast of North America. The findings were timely, in view of the dispute with Great Britain over the Oregon Territory, and he also visited San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento River....” The numerous engravings and plates include striking depictions of Pacific islands and their natives, Hawaiian volcanoes, Australia, the continent of Antarctica, an early rendition of the outpost at Astoria, an encampment on the Sacramento with Californios relaxing, mountains in the distance, Mt. Shasta, etc., and an important map of the Western half of the present U.S. The atlas volume contains five significant maps: Chart of the World Shewing

Page 96 the Tracks of the U.S. Exploring Expedition in 1838, 39, 40, 41 & 42, 59x85.5 cm. (this one hand-colored); Chart of the Antarctic Continent Shewing the Icy Barrier Attached to it..., 59x87 cm.; Chart of the Viti Group or Feejee Islands..., 59.5x86 cm.; Map of the Oregon Territory... with inset of Columbia River from its mouth to Walla Walla, 58x86.5 cm.; and Map of Part of the Island of Hawaii, Sandwich Islands, Shewing the Craters and Eruption of May and June 1840..., 39.5x60 cm. Howes W414; Wagner-Camp-Becker 175a; Cowan p.538; Hill 1867; Forbes 1575. Faint blindstamp of the Maidstone Museum & Public Library to title-pages, no other markings. Some minor fraying and wear to spine ends, corners showing with some slight bumps, a few splits to cloth along joints but still firm, light rubbing to covers; occasional light foxing to contents, including some plates and maps, still a near fine, fresh set overall, rarely found so nice. (8000/12000)

Page 97 Section II: African-American History

Following is a special section featuring African Americana - books, manuscripts and ephemera, ranging across two centuries from the tragic days of slavery through the triumph of the Civil Rights movement in our own times. We hope that collectors and institutions will find this mate- rial intriguing - sometimes disturbing, but often an inspiring tribute to the human spirit. We will continue, in the future, to regularly include African-American material in our catalogues. Please note that the following items, catalogued for this sale by historian and antiquarian Richard Harris Smith, are arranged in chronological order.

332. (1795 Yankee War Profiteering and Christian-Jewish Slave Traders In Jamaica) Lake, William Charles. Autograph Letter Signed - 1795 Yankee War Profiteering and Christian-Jewish Slave Traders In Jamaica. 3pp. to an unnamed American correspondent. Marked “Copy” at top of first page. Liverpool, England: March 10, 1795 “…the present state of this country in regard to other Continental Powers being highly interesting to America… Holland being now in the hands of the French and the great Naval preparations making here to resist their increased force by this conquest must be a means of considerably enhancing the price of all Naval Stores; and Lumber of all kinds must keep high from the increased difficulty of getting if from the Northern powers in the Baltic. Provisions of every kind are enormously high through the continental War which proves greatly advantageous to your States in the introduction of your abundant Harvests. At present a general embargo exists on all our Shipping to favor the Naval Armaments of Governments…” With a Price Current list of “American Produce” including tar, pitch, turpentine, oak and pine lumber, tobacco and Indian corn. Lake adds a postscript: “Give me leave to introduce to you my brother Mr. Richard Lake of Kingston, Jamaica, also in the House of Lindo & Lake as African Factors”. Apart from this British merchant’s business-as usual ethic, promoting Yankee profit at the expense of his own nation in its battle against the revolutionary French, Lake was pleased to send his message to America via his “African factor” brother, who, with Jewish partner Alexandre Lindo, was the largest Negro slave-trader in British Jamaica. Some loss at top corners, a bit of staining; very good. (300/500)

Page 98 THE EDITOR’S OWN COPY, SIGNED 333. (1800 New Jersey Poet and the first Anti-Slavery Movement) [Smith, Amelia], editor. Miscellaneous Writings of the late Samuel J. Smith. Collected and Arranged by One of the Family. 222 pp. Frontispiece engraving of the author’s home, Hickory Grove. (8vo) original green cloth, gilt-lettered spine. Philadelphia: Henry Perkins, 1836 The editor’s own copy, signed by her on flyleaf above a later presentation by another relative, historian Amelia Mott Gummere, who prob- ably added the few ink notes in the text. With a manuscript publisher’s statement of the cost of the book’s very limited production pasted to rear endpapers; 2 manuscript poems, signed SJS and RMS, laid in loose; and several newspaper clippings pasted in, including an obituary of the author. Most significantly, inserted before the front flyleaf is an original 8 x 11 illustrated certificate of Samuel J. Smith’s membership in the New Jersey Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, Signed by Society President Joseph Bloomfield and Secretary Robert Smith Jr. Un- dated, but probably issued ca. 1799-1800, before Bloomfield took office as the fourth Governor of New Jersey. The document bears the striking Lot 333 engraving of a man in colonial dress holding a tablet with a quote from Isaiah (“proclaim liberty to the captive”) and a kneeling Black slave in chains, captioned with the familiar Quaker Aboli- tionist catch-phrase “Am not I a Man and a Brother?” Descended from a distinguished Quaker family of New Jersey, Samuel J. Smith’s grandfather wrote a classic history of the colony while serving as its treasurer; his father also held government posts during the Revolution, but Smith himself was a shy bachelor who always alone, and apart from visits to a few close relatives, remained locked away in the library of his ancestral estate, reading voraciously, and writing the verse assembled in this book by his admiring cousin. Related to the Mott family of prominent Abolitionists, the one political cause which Smith espoused was his fervent opposition to slav- ery, and it’s significant that his cousin chose to proudly insert in this book the handsome docu- ment which recorded Smith’s early adherence to that cause. This book is desirable in itself as an antiquarian rarity, being the collected verse of an early American poet. But the insertion of the rare certificate of one of the first anti-slavery societies in America gives it special significance. small chips at spine ends, corners exposed, soiling and darkening; certificate at front endpapers tearing at centerfold, with a few yellow spots; contents foxed; good. (1500/2000)

334. (1817 Slavery in Washington, D.C.) Livermore, Ar[thur]. Autograph Letter Signed - 1817 Washington, D.C. “Slavery Cherished in the Same Cradle with Liberty”. 2 pp. Signed as member of Congress. City of Washington: Dec. 1, 1817 Arthur Livermore writes to his wife his first impressions of Washington, D.C., being amused by the hustle and bustle of preparations for the opening of Congress, as all the Congressmen and Senators in his boarding house hurried “to make an appearance…Visages and persons of every size, shape, age and colour are to be beautified and embellished to the astonishment of the world.” But what most struck this New England Yankee: “We are all served here by Slaves, for Slavery is cherished here in the same cradle with liberty and one thinks but little of the condition of them. The slaves make good families and seem as happy as their master. Charles a black boy of 19 or 20 insists every morning on brushing my coat & hat and I am obliged to keep telling him that that was all done before I left home…” Livermore, a former Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court whose father and brother had also been Members of Congress, soon changed his view of “happy” slaves. By his second term in office, he would become a passionate opponent of Slavery. A few closed tears or tiny holes at creases, tiny spots of yellow and overall yellowed with age; very good. (300/500)

Page 99 SLAVE GENEALOGY MANUSCRIPT 335. (1833-83 Slave Genealogy Manuscript Record by the brother of Virginia statesman John Y. Mason) Mason, Dr. George. “Register, Births of Negroes belonging to G. Mason” - Original Autograph Manuscript. 11 pp. (including notes on verso of covers). 17x12 cm (6¾x4¾”), original leather-backed (largely deteriorated spine) marbled wrappers, hand-written cover paper label. With inserted remnant of 1819 receipt signed by Mason’s father, Edmunds Mason, for work done at his home by slave Moses. [Greensville County, Virginia]: 1833-1880 An amazing document, more of a slave genealogy than a mere listing of human “property”. Begins with eight sons and daughters born to slave Samuel between 1833 and 1839 and continues with handwritten records through the Civil War – and even beyond, recording deaths as late as 1883. Some notes are unusually detailed: “Uncle Solomon died about 2 o’clock on Sunday morning the 2nd September 1866 with [?] Dropsy. Was born as well as he could recollect 17[?] or as he was found”. Unlike his brother John Young Mason, who, while running his own Virginia plantation, embarked on an illustrious political career, serving as President Polk’s Attorney General, as Secretary of the Navy during the Mexican-American War and as US ambassador to the Paris of Napoleon III (where he died in 1859), George Mason made little mark on history. He presumably had a medical degree, though, according to some sources, he quietly ran a girls’ boarding school and may have lost a leg Lot 335 while fighting for the Confederacy during the Civil War. He was also allegedly a benevolent master to his slaves – the care with which he kept these records attests, at least, to an uncommon interest in their lives. Still he wrote this chilling note on the inner front cover of his Register, dated three weeks after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox “Hartrull[?] & Grief. Stole two sorrels Horses from me, the 2nd May, 1865, attempting to go to Yankees and were killed in Sussex City. the next morning.” A dramatic document of a distinguished Virginia family of the slave era. Split nearly all the way down spine, rubbed covers and spine; several period ink stains within; good. (2000/3000)

336. (1837-42 Halting the Slave Trade at Sea) [Jackson, Andrew]. Message from the President [Andrew Jackson]…Correspondence in relation to the Seizure of Slaves on board the brigs “Encomium” and “Enterprise” (February 14, 1837); and Message from the President [John Tyler]…in relation to the strength and expense of the squadron to be employed on the coast of Africa (December 30, 1842). 2 disbound government publications. (8vo). [Washington, D.C.]: 1837-1842 Two US Congress publications symbolizing a change in US Government policy after the legal furor over the Amistad slave revolt focused public attention on the illegal maritime slave trade. The 1837 report records the diplomatic brouhaha over an “outrage” committed by British au- thorities who freed the slaves found aboard two shipwrecked US vessels that were forced to en- ter Bermuda ports. After the Amistad slaves were also set free by a US Supreme Court decision, England and the US signed an 1842 treaty providing for joint Anglo-American squadrons to suppress the slave trade along the African coast. The second report discusses details of creating the first US “Africa Squadron” - later to be commanded by Naval hero (and fervent Abolition- ist) Andrew Hull Foote. A bit yellowed; very good. (150/250) Page 100 337. (1845 Letter Defending Slavery) Sweetser, A.P. Autograph Letter Signed - 1845 Yankee in Mississippi: “Pity the Master More than the Slave”. 4pp. including stampless, free-franked address leaf. Kingston, Mississippi: February 21, 1845 To his brother, Jesse B. Sweetser, Cumberland Centre, Maine (with 3 pg. letter by his wife Mary to her father-in-law in Maine, undated, but preceding her husband’s letter): “…on a subject which I had thought you entertained sounder and more correct views, I mean Slavery (which… exists much more in name with a certain class of New Englanders – and of which I am sorry to hear…that you are one – than in fact here…knowing as I do too well the folly of attempting to convince any one of an error after their mind is made up from false premises and is determined not to believe truth no matter from what source it may come… you have immediately under your eye a family who… suffer more for want of the real necessaries of life than they would if owned by a Miss. Planter – whose title to them and theirs for life no one could dispute… I have said naught in anger, although your letter hurt my feelings and vexed me some at first – to think that my Brother Jesse is an abolitionist, feeling as I do – certain that, could you be acquainted with the real state of things here, you would pity the Master more than the Slave and henceforth cease to shed tears for – you know not what…” When Ammi Prince Sweetser (1809-1864) moved to rural Mississippi from his home in Maine, he at thought he could make more money working on a cotton gin at a plantation than by his trade as a carpenter, but, as his wife’s letter explained, he fell and broke his arm so seriously that he could no longer do manual labor. When he wrote his brother, he had found a small sinecure as the local postmaster and seemed upbeat about buying a farm, with hired help to “pasture horses for Gentlemen living in Natchez” though his wife was homesick for Maine, “the home of our childhood, the land of our birth”. Light yellowing and wear to each letter, especially so at address side; very good. (300/500)

338. (1847 Jim Crow Jubilee) “Jim Crow Jubilee” sheet music 1847. Two volumes of sheet music, including: “Old Uncle Ned”, No.2 of JIM CROW JUBILEE, A Collection of Negro Melodies as sung by A.F.Winnemore and his band of Serenaders, Arranged for the Piano Forte by August Clapp. 13¼x10½”, 4pp., including pictorial cover. * A complete but defective copy of A.F. Winnemore’s “Jim Crow Polka”, No. 5 in The Celebrated Negro Melodies as sung by the Virginia Minstrels. Adapted for the Pianoforte by Thos. Comer. 13¼x10½”, 4pp., including the detached pictorial cover, lithographed by Thayer & Co. Boston, which has a full-length diagonal tear, touching the graphic, that is crudely tape-repaired. Boston: Reed, 1847 A very early printed use of “Jim Crow”, which first appeared in the 1830s as a pejorative synonym for enslaved Negroes. Exemplified here by the racist caricature illustrations on the covers, and the “old Nigger” dialect lyrics, which, curiously, in the second song, include Mexican-American War references that must have been added long after the copyright date. Winnemore was one of the first caucasians to both compose and perform Negro “Minstrel” songs; his Virginia Minstrels/Serenaders, who premiered in New York in 1843, were the most popular of the early “black-face” minstrel groups, credited with introducing the famous American folk songs “Old Dan Tucker” (listed on the 1843 sheet) and “Jimmy Crack Corn”. They may even have performed a song which later inspired Stephen Foster’s “Old Susanna”. Moderate wear and some light yellowing, one with heavy wear (described above); good or very good. (300/500)

Page 101 339. (1850 South Carolina plantation owner seeks family history from his slave) Clawson, C[harles] L. Autograph Letter Signed from a South Carolina plantation owner, seeking family history from his slave. 4 pp. With original mailing envelope. Nations Ford, Yorke District, South Carolina: Aug. 6, 1850 To his cousin, Dr. Isaiah Dunn Clawson in New Jersey. Charles Clawson was a socially- prominent Alabama Doctor who owned three plantations – his own; one he would inherit from his father, also a physician, who had just died; and a third, of 500 acres, offered him by his father-in-law after his recent marriage in Montgomery “in the presence of the Governor of Alabama and many grave Senators.” While settling his father’s affairs in South Carolina – and wondering if growing cotton might not be more profitable than the $15,000 a year he made practicing medicine – Clawson answered an inquiry from his northern cousin, yet another Doctor – seeking genealogical information about their family: “I can’t give you a complete history of our ancestors…we are of Dutch descent… Grandmother’s family were French…” and “fled from Europe during the Inquisition for having said one day, ‘It was not right to put the heretics to death as they were doing’. For which he was likely to suffer when he escaped to this country,,,” As his cousin was particularly interested in the Dunn family, from which he took his middle name, “whilst I was writing… it struck me, that I might get a clue… from a negro woman that my father brought from Virginia. So out I went to the field and here is her story. “Dr. Thomas Dunn married Aunt Emeline” and “lived in Frankford’… Query – May we not be of Jewish extract – judging from the great number of Scripture names in the family. One might think we descended from the good old patriarch Abraham, the father of the faithful, for we find Israel, Jacob, Isaac, John, Isaiah – and – I was trying to think if there was not a Jeremiah also…Jesting aside. Where did all these old fashioned names come from?...I don’t think Isaiah would do bad for a middle name for some of my sons?...Isaiah will not sound as well as William Israel, which is my brother’s name…” Apart from the irony that Charles Clawson had to ask a field slave about his own family’s history – and that his New Jersey cousin would later be elected to Congress as an anti-slavery Republican – history records the sad fact after the Civil War, in which he lost the 20 slaves he had owned before the conflict, Dr. Clawson organized the first Ku Klux Klan chapter in South Carolina. Some very light wear; very good. (400/600)

340. (1850-52 Five Anti-Slavery Society Reports) American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. Five Anti-Slavery Society Reports - 1850-1852. Annual Reports presented to the 10th and 12th Annual Meetings of the Society (New York, 1850 and 1852) 172 and 30pp.; Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. Fourteenth and Fifteenth Annual Reports…with the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting (Philadelphia, 1851-52) 73 and 57pp.; and Seventeenth Annual Report of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society (Philadelphia, 1851) 16pp. All five reports are disbound, removed from large volumes. New York: 1850-1852 Recording meetings held at a seminal moment in the anti-slavery struggle – during the brutal enforcement of the new Fugitive Slave Law and the sometimes violent resistance (see the next entry) by white and Black Abolitionists to the hunting-down of escaped Negroes in the northern states. These documents are also unique sources of African-American history, with information about the achievements and progress of “People of Color” in the northern States. The Female Society also reflects the early women’s rights movement, as it was formed because of the early refusal of some male Abolitionists to have women in their midst. Near fine. (250/350)

341. (1851 Christiana ‘Slave Riot’, ‘Stir and Excitement’ in Pennsylvania) “Sam”. Autograph Letter Signed from “Sam” a student, about the 1851 Christiana “Slave Riot” in Pennsylvania. 2 pp. + original mailing envelope. Tennent School, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: September 13, [1851] To Benjamin Forster, Hartsville, Penn. “…There is a great stir and excitement here in regard to a murder which was committed in Chester County, it appears that a slave holder and his son from South Carolina or some other slave state came to Chester County to arrest a fugitive slave, they happening to meet and I suppose were going to arrest him when the Nigger drew a pistol and shot the elder man and then the son drew a pistol and shot the Darkye, when a second

Page 102 Nigger came and shot the son…some Darkyes were taken to Prison…” A garbled version of the famous “Slave Riot” in Christiana, sixty miles from Harrisburg, as told, two days after the event, by a student at an exclusive boys boarding school, housed in a mansion in Pennsylvania’s capital city, which catered to wealthy boys destined to become doctors, lawyers, judges and statesmen. Whether or not the young writer’s manifest racism was common among the student body (which including forbears of John Foster and Allen Dulles) his information was decidedly faulty. The slave-holder and his son searching for their fugitive “property” who were killed by Black freemen and white sympathizers were from Maryland. To what extent, in pursuing their legal right, they instigated the ensuing violence is unclear. Over 140 people were arrested in the wake of the “riot”, 39 of whom (4 whites and 35 Blacks) were ultimately charged with “trea- son”, though only one Caucasian was ever put on trial, and he was acquitted. Some yellowing; very good. (250/350)

Page 103 1854 MEMOIRS OF A BLACK CLERGYMAN BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR 343. (1854 Memoirs of a Black Clergyman before the Civil War) Peterson, Daniel H. The Looking- Glass, Being A True Report and Narrative of the Life, Travels, and Labors of the Rev. Daniel H. Peterson, A Colored Clergyman, Embracing a period of time from the year 1812 to 1854, and including His Visit to Western Africa. 151 pp. Illustrated with 8 plates. 15x9 cm (6x3½”) original cloth. First Edition. New York: Wright, Printers, 1854 Born to slave parents near Baltimore who were owned by a relative of President John Tyler, Peterson himself escaped bondage and became a wandering Methodist preacher in Pennsylvania, traveling as a Christian missionary to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Gambia shortly before writing this book, published on his return to New York. A gilt-lettered subtitle on the front cover apparently summed up the author’s dream of a better future: “A Land of Rest, Peace and Unity / A Government of Wisdom and Equality.” One of the relatively few African- American autobiographies published before the Civil War. Slight loss at spine ends, soiling and rubbing to covers; name and flower doodle in ink on front free endpaper, foxed; good. (500/800)

344. (1855 First African-American Book Of Travel) Brown, Wm. Wells. The American Fugitive in Europe. Sketches of Places and People Abroad. With A Memoir of the Author. 320 pp. Portrait frontispiece. (8vo), original cloth. First American Edition. Boston, Cleveland, and NY: John P. Jewett & Co., 1855 The first book of “foreign” travel by an African-American - who also wrote the first African- American novel and the first African-American play, as well as an early military history of Black soldiers in the Revolutionary War. The son of a slave mother and a white plantation owner in Kentucky, Brown (1814-1884) escaped from bondage to become an agent of Abolitionist societies and the Underground Railroad. In 1849, he sailed for Europe as a delegate to the third International Peace Congress, an association of anti-war groups on both sides of the Atlantic. To avoid the risk of capture under the newly-passed Fugitive Slave Law, he remained in Europe for five years as respected spokesman for the anti-slavery cause. During this time, he wrote both his novel Clotel, a story about the mixed-race slave daughter of Thomas Jefferson, considered the first fiction written by an African-American, and this book, an account of his travels in Ireland, France and England and meetings with such notables as De Tocqueville and Harriet Martineau. Brown returned to America in 1854, later becoming a Civil War recruiter of Black soldiers and a physician. A bit of loss to spine ends, corners bumped, light soiling, spine leaning a bit; foxed with a small corner dampstain to frontispiece; very good. (400/600)

[Cincinnati?], Ohio: October 12, 1857 “…It is court time now and there is quite a concourse of Lawyers, here. Brack the nigger. who it is supposed killed that man during the fair, has been arrested and is now in prison waiting his trial. I presume he will get a situation in Columbus at least. Harvey is his Lawyer and Mr. Thomas, and Jones for the state. I think it will interfere with Harvey’s Abolition feelings to defend a Darkey…” The defense counsel named may be Harvey Hall an eccentric old lawyer who was active in the abolitionist cause in Cincinnati. Some yellowing; very good. (150/250)

Autograph Document Signed - 1858 Death of a ‘Negro Black Man’ in California Gold Rush country. Receipt for money paid to William Hovey. [Yreka?]: Feb. 3, 1858 Receipt for various services, including building a coffin for a deceased white man – and $8 for “digging one grave” – without coffin - “ordered by Hospital for Negro Black man”. Though far from the heart of the so-called California Gold Rush country, Siskiyou County, on the Oregon border, saw thousands of prospectors flooding the area after a major gold strike in 1851. Beasley’s, “Negro Trail-Blazers of California” mentions African-American residents of the county only in passing, but it was the site of a “Negro Hill Mine”, possible evidence of a Black presence which has otherwise been forgotten by history. Some period ink stains; very good. (200/300)

347. (1859 ‘Great Excitement’ in ‘Bleeding’ Kansas) Ray, Joseph. Autograph Letter Signed. 4 pp. 8x5”. Fort Scott, Kansas: Feb. 16, 1859 To his sister in Mundy, Michigan: “…the Great Excitement that exists here… War stares us in the face and times are not likely to be any better. The Legislator[s] that are now in session are Republicans and they passed a law giving Douglas [County] jurisdiction over Bourbon and Linn and the people have arrested about 20 of these d-d scoundrils and taken them to Laurance where they turned around and released all their prisoners and arrested the Martial and his posse. They swore they should kill the Martial but by the Legislature’s passing a bill that bygones should be bygones they made out to get off without being materially injured. If this is the way that we have to live and where a band of theaves and murder[ers] comes and commits their outrages upon the reasible citizens of Kansas, murders our best citizens, I say if this is the only redress we can ged when we arrest them and send them…to be tried and they arrest the US officers, I think it time for all peaceful citizens to leave. Altho I had rather live in Fort Scott then any place I ever saw and I do say there is no better or more peaceful set of inhabitance living…I have one of the best places to live… in all Kansas…I sell about 75 thousand dollars worth of goods a year…” A dramatic account of the chaotic conflict between pro- and anti- slavery diehards in John Brown’s “Bleeding Kansas”, as told by a rich businessman who was not sympathetic to the Free-Soil Legislature’s amnesty for criminal offences “growing out of any political difference of opinion”. Many of the residents of Fort Scott were, if not sympathetic to slavery, disturbed by the lawlessness, and two months later, Joseph Ray was elected the town’s first Mayor. Creased from folding, a bit of yellowing; very good. (200/300)

Autograph Letter Signed - 1860 Future Union Army Railroad Chief Protects Black Workers in Kentucky. 1 pp. On Office of Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad Co. letterhead. Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad Co., Nashville, Tennessee: December 24, 1860 To Dr. Samuel Henderson, Franklin, Tennessee. “…referring to Green…at present we are running very short handed, only half the number of trains run in summer and it would be impossible to employ him until business opened in the spring. I would be glad to get him then, although I would hardly be willing to take him from you for the reason that negroes in our road are, I think, too much exposed. The train men on the Louisville road are all northern men and are changing more or less almost every week, so it is impossible to tell what influences a negro may be subjected to. We run with that road ten miles, and occupy the same buildings with them, and though the officers are gentlemen who would not tolerate any improper interference with negroes for a moment, I would be unwilling for a man of mine to be so placed as to be in contact with the transient train men. For the reason among others, we have employed no negroes at all thus far, and the Louisville road employ none.” Written four months before the outbreak of Civil War, this letter shows uncommon sensitivity and solicitude for Black railroad workers by a writer whose personal sympathies soon became evident: During the War, New Yorker Adna Anderson (1827-1889), as Chief Superintendent of Military Railroads for the Union Army, with the rank of Brigadier General, did what he could to provide housing and clothing to ex-slaves working as military railroad laborers, and to guard Black engineers against racist harassment. A few tiny spots of yellow at edges; else near fine. (250/350)

349. (1861 Free Blacks of Oberlin, Ohio 2 months before Civil War) Smith, Moses. Autograph Letter Signed about free Blacks in Oberlin, Ohio. 4 pp. Written from Smith in Oberlin, Ohio to his brother in Albion, Illinois. Oberlin, OH: February 2, 1861 “…I believe the great excitement has stopped concerning the ‘war’. I thought for a few days we would have war in a short time, there was every day fresh telegraph news which just kept the people on pins, especially the colored people of Oberlin. We have one splendid negro Lawyer here, they send for him from Cleveland to their business. They still keep up their revival here but do not get many joiners…” Smith was a student at Oberlin, the first college in America to regularly admit African-American students before the Civil War. Among its most notable Black graduates was John Mercer Langston – the “splendid Negro lawyer” to whom Smith refers. Born a mixed-race freedman in Virginia, Langston received both degrees from Oberlin (and there married a Black woman graduate) before being admitted to the bar in Ohio in 1854. With Frederick Douglass, he was one of the most prominent Black abolitionists before the Civil War, a Union Army recruiter of Black troops during the War, and afterwards, Inspector General of the Reconstruction-era Freedmans Bureau, first Dean of Howard University Law School and the first African-American elected to Congress from Virginia. A bit yellowed; very good. (250/350)

350. (1863 Officers of Black Regiments) Clark, Colonel John S. Two Autograph Letters Signed from 1863 Union Army Colonel in New Orleans on Incompetent Officers of Black Regiments. Two autograph letters signed as Aide-De-Camp to General Nathaniel Banks. 2pp. and 5pp. To influential New York Congressman Theodore Pomeroy, chairman of the House Banking Committee, Washington, D.C. With one original mailing envelope. Headquarters, Department of the Gulf, New Orleans: Dec. 9 and 12, 1863 Clark confided to his old friend that he would resign his commission, “unless my wits are thought to be of sufficient importance to be recognized by the powers that be.” While recover- ing from a combat wound, though both General Banks and Pomeroy had written to President Lincoln urging his promotion, Clark had waited in vain for that recognition and “I cannot longer continue in my present position, without violating my pride and self respect”. Plagued by financial difficulties, Clark was particularly galled to see cronies of Treasury Secretary Chase flocking to New Orleans to enrich themselves from war profits, “abundant and flowing into the pockets of his particular friends freely and steadily.” The Treasury Department had taken control of 120 Confederate plantations, “run by agents at high salaries” who sold “vast quanti-

Page 106 ties” of confiscated Rebel property to political friends at low prices, their $20 million in produce then being foisted off on the Army for top dollar. “I am not astonished at the disposition to swindling I see…they come here for that purpose and do not I trust and believe represent the people of the country – just as a man journeying through some streets in new York would judge that all of the opposite sex were prostitutes, so here, judging from what we see, all men are dishonest because they congregate here…” Being responsible for forming new Black regiments, Clark complained that “since the organization of the Corps D’Afrique, Colonels are entirely too common and of poor material and Brigadiers have been made from or for this Dept. with whom I would scorn to speak or ashamed to be seen.” An extraordinary officer, the 40 year-old Clark had once risked his life to carry military dispatches by a 25 mile night march, then swim- ming a river, “within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels”; through skillful Intelligence work he had also been first to discover General Lee’s movements at Manassas. Before the War’s end, Clark finally received a promotion to Brigadier General. Faint yellow spots or light edge wear; near fine.` (400/600)

351. (1864 President (Jefferson Davis?) Buys Slaves) “Memorandum for President”. Manuscript Document, unsigned and undated, but probably Richmond, Virginia, 1864. 1 pp. Debt statement, taken from a larger financial document. [Richmond, VA?]: [1864?] Listing total debts of $790, 000 including purchase of Virginia stock and (Confederate) bonds, “money for Soldiers Tax” (first levied in 1864), $23,6000 for “Negroes purchased” and $30,000 to R.Davis “to buy Negroes”. We’ve been unable to confirm the intriguing possibility that this might be part of a statement of personal finances of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Who else could have nearly a million dollars in debt a year before the end of the Civil War - and why would Davis, or any other wealthy southerner, still be buying slaves a year after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation? A touch yellowed; very good. (300/500)

352. (1865 An Ohio Soldier on Abolition) “Charley” [Atkin, Charles]. Autograph letter, signed from an Ohio soldier in Tennessee hailing abolition of slavery. 4 pp. With original mailing envelope. Athens, Tennessee: February 22, 1865 To his wife Sarah, Harpersfield, Ohio: “…The officers of the Regt. are sending in their resignations almost every day…most of them want to get out of the service so as to go into something to make money out of faster. They think they are not making money as fast as they might at home…Privates going into the Army now are getting considerable more wages than the officers …Tennesseans have to vote on the amendments to the state Constitution today. This amendment abolishes slavery which would be a fitting deed for the day. There is no doubt but what the amendment will be adopted by an almost unanimous vote as most loyal men are tired of the institution…My faith is strong that the war will end next summer if not before. Sherman seems to have his own way in South Carolina…[I]… will cut the Rebs all up into mince meat if they come within range of my toad sticker…” Atkin was an Ohio farmer who enlisted in the Army as a Sergeant in 1863, and unlike many Union soldiers, was sympathetic to ex-slaves he encountered in the South. As he correctly predicted, on the day he wrote this letter, voters in the former Confederate state of Tennessee, then largely under Union control, overwhelmingly approved a new state constitution which immediately abolished slavery. Corner of envelope excised, some yellowing, letter faintly yellowed; very good. (150/250)

Page 107 353. (1865 First Appearance of Negro “Spirituals”) “Marcel” (pseudonym of William Francis Allen). “The Negro Dialect”, Pp. 744-745 of The Nation magazine, Vol. I, No. 24. The Negro Dialect”, Pp. 744-745 of The Nation magazine, Vol. I, No. 24. December 14, 1865. December 14, 1865 The first appearance in print of the term Negro “Spiritual” is sometimes attributed to an article in the June 1867 Atlantic magazine by Thomas Wentworth Higginson (see next entry). But it appeared, two years earlier, in this pseudonymous writing of classical scholar William Francis Allen. During the Civil War, Allen and his wife directed a school for newly-emancipated slaves on the Sea Islands of South Carolina. Allen later became Assistant Superintendent of Schools in post-war Charleston; during this time, he wrote several periodical “letters” reflecting on his wartime experiences. In this one, for the newly-published Nation, he recalled the “considerable attention” he had paid to the Sea Island dialect of Negro religious songs – “divided into hymns and shouts; or, as they class them themselves, sperituals [sic] and running sperituals”. Two years later, as a Professor of Ancient Languages at the University of Wisconsin, Allen co-edited the first book on American slave songs, but this 1865 article was his first publication of a term that would soon enter the English language. Tape along length of the spine, other edges lightly worn; very good. (150/250)

354. (1866 Freed Slave Child in Boston) Palfrey, John G. Autograph Letter Signed - 1866 Lincoln’s Boston Postmaster Helps Freed Slave Child. 2 pp. To Mr. Endicott. 51 Bowdoin Street, [Boston]: Feb. 5, 1866 “I wish, though I fear there is small probability of it, that you could give me some line of which I could avail myself in seeking a place for a little colored boy, lately from Charlestown, S.C. He is in his tenth year; can neither read nor write; but is uncommonly pleasing and prepossessing in his appearance and manners. He seems to be of almost too nice material to make a servant of; yet what other opening there can be, I do not see. He and his little sister are now supported at the cost of two dollars a week, by their mother and older sister, whose joint wages amount to four dollars a week. If it should occur to you to advise me in what quarter to make inquiry I should feel greatly obliged to you.” Abraham Lincoln appointed Rev. John Gorham Palfrey as Postmaster of Boston during the Civil War in recognition of his pre-war support of the anti-slavery cause and the Republican Party. Though he had served in Congress as an anti- slavery Whig just before young Lincoln first came to Washington, Palfrey was not a professional politician, but a noted Unitarian clergyman, magazine editor and historian who had freed the 16 slaves he had inherited from his plantation owning family in Louisiana and later badly needed the financially security that the postmaster’s sinecure provided. After Lincoln’s death, Palfrey’s appointment was not renewed by Andrew Johnon, which may explain why he was in no position to personally support the charming “little colored boy” whose plight so moved him. Thin strip of paper stuck to page 2 along one edge (not obstruction more than a few letters of text); very good. (100/150)

Autograph Letter, unsigned, but with writer identified on partial original mailing envelope. 2 pp. Palmetto, [Tennessee]: March 31, 1869 To a cousin, Mrs. Mary E.Smith. Decatur, Illinois. “…Sunday night last… went to church in Farmington and heard Dr. Atkinson, the country biggest rebel – K. K…. I fellowship[p] ed rebs, but I cant fellowship K.K.s I did not think that the rebels were Murderers per se, but the Ku Klux are, they are the vilest of murderers, they have no government de facto as the confederates claimed that they had… Bro. John C….gave me a dollar to preach to the Darkies, tell him that I preached a sermon to them Sunday…that a man sayed was worth $20…I am now going to collect money to build a Col. Church…” A Methodist Minister, Rev. Hunter (1806-1908) was an anti-slavery, pro-Union Tennessee native who served as a guide for federal troops battling the Confederates in his state - despite relatives who despised him for “piloting the Yankees”, and death threats from Confederate bush-whacker guerrillas. He was probably referring here to Virginia Gen. Homer Atkinson, who helped organize the Klan in North Carolina and was preaching to the choir in Tennessee, where the Ku Klux Klan was born. Portion of envelope excised, some yellowing and foxing; very good. (150/250)

356. (1870 Army Life In A Black Regiment, 1st Edition of Civil War Classic) Higginson, Thomas Wentworth, Late Colonel 1st South Carolina Volunteers. Army Life in a Black Regiment. 296 pp. (8vo) original cloth. First Edition. Boston: Fields, Osgood, 1870 The classic memoir by a white officer of Black troops during the Civil War. Higginson, a Unitarian Minister and “militant” abolitionist before the War served as Colonel of the first “authorized” African-Regiment of the Union Army, which fought in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The Nevins Civil War bibliography calls this book “unrivaled for a picture of the first Negro unit organized”. Light shelf wear, some loss at spine head, light soiling; dampstain at top edge of several leaves, lacks rear free endpaper; good. (300/500)

PHOTOGRAPH OF THE FIRST BLACK VOTER IN OTTAWA, ILLINOIS 357. (1870 Photograph of first Black Voter in Illinois Town) Carte-de-visite photograph of the first Black voter in Illinois town. Carte-de-visite photograph of an African-American man. 10x5.5 cm (4x2¼”), trimmed at edges (into an oval shape). Printed on verso: “BOWMAN, Photographer, Ottawa, Ill.” Ottawa, IL: Bowman, Photographer, [1870] According to the website of the Ottawa Museum, Gabriel (Gabe) Giger (also known as Geiger or Kreiger) “was the first Black person to vote in Ottawa”, west of Chicago, perhaps even in the entire state. Born a slave in Louisiana in 1848, Giger, according to legend, came to Illinois via the Underground Railroad. He was literate, worked as a manual laborer, was married to a Black woman who had been born free in Indiana, and had three daughters. In April 1870, a local newspaper reported that as Ottawa was dominated by Democrats, “it was deemed doubtful whether a colored man could get a ballot in the city election”. The stalwart Giger appeared at the polls at an early hour, borrowed a pencil from a bystander, marked his ballot (voting against the Democrats) and presented it to the judges. “There was some tall swearing and a deal of frowning and gritting of teeth” but Giger, thinking the ballot had been accepted, left for home. A lawyer who was city treasurer then “persisted in explaining the constitutional rights of the sable gentleman” to the election authorities, and brought Giger back to the polls, where several fellow lawyers, though Democrats, “united in saying that there was no question as to the negro’s qualifications”. As soon as Giger’s ballot was accepted, William Emory Bowman, the town’s best-known photographer, with a flair for advertising and publicity, “took Gabe to his gallery and photographed him as ‘the first colored voter’”. Local Ottawa historical buffs, shown a copy of the photo offered here, believe, that the unidentified man is “probably Gabe.” Pin hole at top edge, some smudges and tiny spots of yellow; good.

Receipt to Chief Clerk of US House of Representatives for $2.50 received for New National Era newspaper sent to Congressman C.H. Porter; and W.H.H. Terrell, Third Asst. Postmaster General. Washington, D.C.: [Likely 1871, although printed form reads 1870] The lot also includes: Autograph Letter Signed. Washington, D.C., Jan. 28, 1873. To Frederick Douglass, Jr., Business Manager of the newspaper, informing him that as the Department was “positively prohibited…from incurring any expense” not approved by congressional appropriation, “you are not authorized…to insert the Postal Card advertisement” in the newspaper “on any conditions”; and, printed form from the Clerk of the US House of Representatives. Sept. 23, 1874. Asking that a copy of the newspaper be furnished to a Congressman (probably Porter), who had requested it. With two original franked Government mailing envelopes. While the senior Frederick Douglass, most famous African-American of the Reconstruction era, was holding government positions, speaking at colleges around the country and even being nominated for Vice President of the United States by a liberal splinter party, in 1870, he launched the New National Era – the first national newspaper for Black Americans. Douglass himself was editor and publisher, but he left day-to-day business management to the second of his three sons, 30 year-old Frederick Jr., who had been a recruiter of “colored troops” during the War. The newspaper folded shortly after Frederick Jr. received the last of these papers, requesting a subscription for Congressman Charles Howell Porter, a New York “carpetbagger” who moved to Virginia after the War to rewrite that state’s slave-era Constitution and then to be elected to Congress on the Republican ticket. Light wear; very good. (400/600)

359. (1871 Kentucky ‘Colored’ Marriage Certificate) Printed and handwritten Marriage License and (attached) Marriage Certificate for Benjamin Petty and Mary Robinson, “Colored”, “legally solemnized” and signed by (white) Minister Benjamin Tiller, Warsaw, Kentucky, November 7, 1871. Printed and hand-written document. 25x20 cm (10x8”). Signed by Tiller and Clerk Rod Perry. Kentucky: November 7, 1871 While there had been informal recognition of marriages under slavery, not until the end of the Civil War did southern states such as Kentucky pass laws allowing ex-slaves to “intermarry with each other in the same manner and under the same regulations that are provided by law for white persons.” Thus rare marriage certificates such as this did not appear until the Reconstruction era, signed by white ministers like the Rev. Tiller, who had been performing “colored” marriages after his Church was headquarters of the Ohio regiment that occupied the city during the war. Dramatic memento of the first legal recognition of African-American matrimony in former Confederate slave plantation territory. Some yellowing and creasing; very good. (200/300)

360. (1872-76 African Methodist Episcopal Church in Illinois) Minutes of the First Annual Session of the Illinois Conference of the A.M.E. Church. 24 pp. Original printed wrappers.

Also included: Minutes of the Fifth Session of the Illinois Annual Conference of the A.M.E. Church, held at Jacksonville, Illinois (Olney, Ill. 1876) Original printed wrappers. 25pp. Bloomington, IL.: Leader Company Book and Job Printing House, 1872 Founded early in the 19th century, the African Methodist Episcopal Church assumed new importance among Black people, in both North and South, after the end of slavery. These two scarce imprints provide a brief overview of the Church’s concerns (especially education) and activities in Illinois in the decade after the Civil War, when, even in Chicago, membership was numbered in the hundreds. Illinois Bishop Alexander Wayman later published one of the first personal reminiscences of the A.M.E. Church. Moderately worn at fore edge of wrappers, a few small tears, a bit of browning or yellowing; fragile; very good. (200/300)

Douglass. 1875 Discharge of a Buffalo Soldier in Texas. 4 pp. Printed and hand-written document signed. “Final [Pay] Statement”, at discharge, 26 year-old 1st Sgt. Douglass, Company C, 24th Regiment, U.S. Infantry, “5 feet 3 ½ inches high, Yellow complexion, Black eyes, Black hair and by occupation a farmer…”. Fort Brown, TX: Jan. 6, 1875 Born to free “mulatto” parents in Knoxville, Tennessee before the Civil War, Douglass had first joined the Army in 1867 as an 18 year-old Private in a Black regiment of ‘Buffalo Soldiers’, assigned to the New Mexico Territory to garrison frontier posts, protect the trans-continental railroad lines which were under construction from hostile Indians, and the roadways against bandits, and patrol the US-Mexico border. Twelve years after this discharge, Douglass again joined the Army, as a Private in the Buffalo Soldiers’ Tenth Cavalry, but after seeing action against the Apaches - and spending some jail time in a violent New Mexico town where Billy the Kid had once held sway - he left the service to settle in Forth Worth, working at various jobs from bookkeeper to blacksmith. Meanwhile, Douglass’ commanding officer, then-Captain Henry Clark Corbin, who signed these discharge papers, after 14 years of service as an officer of Colored Troops, was rewarded by transfer from the Wild West to become military aide to Presidents Hayes and Garfield. Later appointed Adjutant General of the US Army during the Spanish-American War, Corbin also commanded American forces in the Philippines and retired, before World War I, as a Lt. General. Some faint yellow spots; very good. (300/500)

362. (1875 Reminiscences of an ex-Slave Trader) Stevenson, J.[ohn] A. “Stable Keeper”. Autograph Letter Signed - from an ex-slave trader. 4 pp. To a relative, W.C. Stevenson, in Pennsylvania. Savannah, GA: March 17, 1875 Stevenson recounts his experiences after leaving his family’s Pennsylvania home in 1840 at age 23, moving first to Charleston, where he married and started a family, then to Savannah - where he became a slave trader: “My life has been one of ups and downs, the first six years in the south, I made no money, after that time up to the close of the war I done well or rather up to 1856 I had made or bought thirteen thousand dollars worth of property lost it all and in 1856 I commenced the Negro trade with one thousand dollars borrowed at one dollar per day and I made money very rapidly and in 1861 I had in property and money over thirty thousand dollars. The war came on, I entered the service as a private ended it as Col. of the 1st Georgia Militia Regt. and was so confident that the Negro would still be a slave that I did not look forward to any thing but trade and at the end of the war found me with but little except money of our making [i.e., Confederate] and of course amounted to nothing. But got a start in the Auction business and failed with not a dollar left, tried several kinds of business, none done well am now in the livery & stable business. And if times gets no worse, will be able to make it work so as to make a living,,” Though confused in historical records with a slave-trading ship’s Captain who was a stalwart of the Confederate Navy, Stevenson was associated with the most notorious slave trader in Georgia, who once auctioned over 400 plantation Negroes in a single day. Stevenson himself was more modest, his 1859-61 ads in Georgia newspapers offered the “highest cash price” for slaves - for whom he vowed to provide “very superior accommodations.”; with: H.H. DeLeon, Autograph Letter Signed. Charleston, S.C., June 10, 1890, about property purchased as broker at an auction. Before the Civil War, DeLeon (whose office was dutifully “Closed on Saturdays”) was a prominent Jewish slave-trader. His business stationery in 1890 was very similar to his billhead of the 1850s - except that the words “purchase or sale of Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate and Negroes” had been deleted. The ink of the first pages is very faded, though the words are still discernible; yellowing; good. (400/600)

Autograph Letter Signed - Praise for a Black Revolutionary that Inspired a Post-Slavery Generation. 3 pp. [Boston]: Oct., 15, 1877 To Mr. (John?) Fiske “Toussaint was printed in a small volume in ’63. It may be still attainable, tho I believe not on usual counters. “Speeches and Addresses by WP”. Lee & Shephard of this city would get you a copy if you asked them…a second hand dealer would look one up for you.” The most eloquent public speaker among the “radical” Abolitionists before the Civil War, Boston clergyman Wendell Phillips shocked a New York audience, days after the execution of John Brown, by a public lecture praising the leader of the only successful slave revolt in the western Hemisphere – Haiti’s Toussaint L’Ouverture. While southerners were petrified with fear of uprising by their own slaves, Phillips hailed Toussaint, as a “patriot and martyr”, comparable to Cromwell, Washington, Lafayette – and John Brown (whose name moved the audience to “loud hisses and cheers”). Though Phillips included his “incendiary” lecture again in an anthology of his speeches published the year of the Emancipation Proclamation, it was largely forgotten by the time he wrote this letter to someone seeking a copy – except by a new generation of Black school children who had never heard of the Rev. Phillips, but after his death in 1884, often memorized and recited his Toussaint lecture, embracing the Haitian rebel as “their hero”. Famed Black renaissance man James Weldon Johnson remembered how, as a boy, he was so moved at his own school graduation in 1887 by a classmate’s reading of Phillips’ lecture, which he interpreted (as Phillips had intended) to justify violence in a righteous cause. A bit of yellowing; very good. (200/300)

364. (1880 Civil War Bounties for Colored Soldiers to fund Black Colleges) Painter, C.C. and S.C. Armstrong. Argument In behalf of appropriating unpaid bounties of United States colored soldiers to certain Institutions. 22 pp. (8vo) plain white wrappers. No place [but New York?]: [c.1880] Black troops were not often paid the bounties legally owed to them at the end of the Civil War (on the racist assumption that, as ex-slaves, they were not competent to handle money.) Fifteen years after the War, a bill was introduced in Congress to put these unpaid funds to good use – supporting the first Negro colleges in America – the Hampton Institute in Virginia, Howard University in Washington, D.C., Fisk University in Nashville, Atlanta University in Georgia and Straight University in New Orleans. Making the eloquent case in favor funding Black high education as “a remedy for the imminent danger from ignorant voters” was made by Rev. Painter, best-known in Washington as an advocate for Indian rights, and Samuel Champman Armstrong (1839-1893), a commanding officer of Colored Troops during the War who became founder and first principal of Hampton (and the inspiring mentor of Booker T. Washington). A rare imprint. Only Yale and 3 other American institutions have copies of the original. A touch of wear from handling; near fine. (200/300)

Original wrappers with front cover photograph and drawing. 32pp. * Jubilee Songs / Plantation Melodies…Sung by the Original Nashville Students, The Celebrated Colored Concert Company / 16th Season (Chicago, 1896-97) Original wrappers with front cover illustrations. 16pp. 1885-95 The “Jubilee Singer” phenomenon of the late 19th century grew out of the appeal to white audiences after the Civil War of old “Negro melodies”, reminiscent of the days of slavery, melded with the desperate financial need of Black colleges established during Reconstruction. Students from Fisk University in Nashville and Hampton Institute in Virginia were first to go on tour, raising money for their institutions by performing such timeless favorites as “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, “Old Black Joe” and “Listen to the Mocking Bird”. These four booklets represent spin-off groups which, apart from the Norfolk College Singers, had no educational affiliation and, managed by white impresarios, were still performing at the start of the 20th century. Mostly light general wear to wrappers from handling; mostly very good. (200/300)

366. (1891 Comparison of Blacks and Indians) “Jesse”. Autograph Letter Signed “Jesse” - 1891 Oberlin Student Compares Oppression of Blacks & American Indians. 4 pp. Oberlin, Ohio: Feb. 16, 1891 To his brother. With over 30 newspaper clippings, 1889-90, concerning mistreatment of southern Blacks: “…The Indian was robbed, sometimes, of his land, but the African was born away from his home and land and held in personal bondage. Every single African brought over was brought with violence. The Whites held the Negro in slavery two and a half centuries. Treated him as a domestic animal as we do horses and cows, often abused him and could kill him without being punished for it – and yet all this time the Negro was peaceful, submissive and never murdered his oppressor. While the Indian was never held as a slave – was only forced to give up some of his land – he butchered and murdered thousands of Whites. He had much less provocation than the Negro, yet how much more he did for revenge! Slave labor had created nearly all the wealth that the south had, yet when the Negros were freed, they legally could not own the clothes they had on. After 250 years in the house of bondage, they were called highly favored because they simply got their freedom, tho’ they had a moral right to part of the wealth they helped to create. The Negro wants to become civilized and be a useful citizen, and the Whites try to keep him down! The Indian refuses civilization, wants to remain a savage, and the Whites freed him and try to civilize him! During the war, the Slaves worked the plantations and furnished the supplies for the Confederate army. These slaves knew that they were thus helping the enemies of their own freedom. But they were faithful to their masters and their masters’ families. The Southerns were always fearing an uprising of their slaves (their own consciences told them that such was what they ought to expect). What would Indians have done if they had had the chance for revenge that the Negroes had during the war?...” The unidentified writer was apparently an Oberlin College student (or teacher), writing to a younger brother who was about to formally debate whether Blacks or American Indians were more “wronged” in the United States. Extensive archival tape repairs at folds, yellowed; good. (150/250)

Page 113 CLASSIC AFRO AMERICAN FOLK LORE 367. (1892 Classic of Afro-American Folk Lore) Christensen, A.M.H. Afro-American Folk Lore: Told Round Cabin Fires on the Sea Islands of South Carolina. 116, [6] ad pp. Illustrated with drawings. (8vo), original decorative cloth, lettered in gilt. First Edition. Boston: J.G. Cupples, [c.1892] Inscribed on flyleaf by the author’s son: “Mrs. Allen, with love from Niels Christensen”. Born into a Massachusetts family of anti-slavery reformers, Abbie Holmes Christensen moved to South Carolina with her parents during the Civil War as part of the Port Royal Experiment, to help 10,000 Black slaves, emancipated when the Union Army liberated islands off the Charleston coast, to become self-sufficient farmers on land abandoned by white plantation owners. She began teaching Black students as a teenager and spent the rest of her life, in partnership with her husband, a wartime officer of Black troops, helping to educate African- American ex-slaves and to promote the cause of women’s rights. This book, her major publication, written painstakingly over two decades while collecting folklore tales of ex-slaves, was a little-known scholarly rival to the wildly popular Uncle Remus tales of Joel Chandler Harris. The inscription by her teen-aged son, who was only 16 when this book appeared, is significant because Niels Christensen Jr. went on to become a noted South Carolina newspaper publisher and politician, serving in the State Senate in the first decade of the 20th century as a progressive and a racial moderate who condemned lynching. He also wrote a scholarly 1913 essay on “Sea Island Negroes” after “fifty years of freedom.” Not in Blockson. Cloth lightly foxed all over, light edge wear, spine darkened; very good. (300/500)

368. (1894 Selma University) Haldrum, Ruth. Autograph Letter Signed from 1894 Black Woman Teacher at Selma University, Alabama. Autograph Letter Signed on stationary of Selma University (“under the auspices of the Colored Missionary Baptist Convention of Alabama for the training of preachers and teachers”). 2 pp. With original mailing envelope. Selma, Alabama: Nov. 24, 1894 To Dr. O’Hanlin, Ovid, New York: “…I am lecturing the colored people in Selma University. I like the work so much and am much interested in them. I went out yesterday to a church in the country to see the people ‘get religion’. One man seated himself in the center of the room and the colored people seated themselves around him, taking hold of hands, they sang and prayed and shouted, those that shouted the loudest and would touch the lamp hanging over was the one who got the religion. There is something very ludicrous and yet sad in the habits and customs of these people…There are no seats fit to sit on, planks about eight inches thick and no back to them, my back aches to see them. I am trying to raise twenty five dollars to buy seats for the little ones. Can you help? The people are so very poor, nothing to eat, scarcely and very little to wear…” Through forgotten by history, Ruth Haldrum (1853-1928), who remained a teacher in Selma for most of her life, must have had a remarkable life story: Census records show that she was an African-American woman born in Calcutta, India to French parents. She first came to Selma from Florida as a “missionary” teacher at what was originally called the Alabama Baptist Colored University, somewhat unique among historically Black Bible colleges because it was also open to elementary school students – the “little ones’ for whom Ruth Haldrum felt such compassion. Some wear to envelope from handling and opening; letter is near fine. (150/250)

The Underground Railway (From the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, Second Series, Volume VIII, Pp. 49-77). pp. 49-77. Disbound, housed in blue wrappers, with portion of original front wrapper laid down. For Sale by J. Hope & Sons, Ottawa; The Copp-Clark Co., Toronto; Bernard Quaritch, London, England, 1902 An uncommon entry in the early literature about the secret escape route of American slaves – told from the unusual standpoint of Canada, often the final destination of Black fugitives, the British colony having abolished slavery before the end of the 18th century. Includes an account of an 1860 trial that became a cause célèbre in Canada but was little known in the US on the eve of Civil War. An American fugitive slave who had reached Canada after killing a white man who tried to arrest him in Missouri, was charged with murder; a long series of legal proceedings led to his being set free on a technicality by a Canadian court, much to the approval of Canadian public opinion. Ex-library copy, removed from larger volume, with Union Theological Seminary rubberstamps, bookplate and remnants of library card pocket, tape to spine of text block; good. (150/250)

370. (1902 First Twentieth Century Negro Cyclopedia) Culp, D.W. editor. Twentieth Century Negro Literature, A Cyclopedia of Thought. Vital Topics Relating to the American Negro. By One Hundred of America’s Greatest Negroes. 472 pp. Extensively illustrated. Original cloth. Probable First Edition. Naperville, Illinois and Atlanta: J.L. Nichols & Co., [c.1902] Something of a renaissance man, Daniel Wallace Culp was the first graduate in 1876 of Biddle University in North Carolina, going on to graduate with honors from Princeton Theological Seminary. After serving as a Minister at churches in Alabama and Tennessee, he studied Medicine, received his M.D. from an Ohio medical college and became superintendent of a Freedman’s Hospital in Georgia – a post, coveted by white physicians, from which he was soon “ejected”. He then moved to Florida, where he built up a successful private medical practice, briefly putting that aside to direct an elite Black high school, where James Weldon Johnson recalled him as a “well-educated man” but a “poor teacher” and administrator. This itinerant career, and his declining health, set the stage for Culp’s greatest achievement – compiling this massive anthology, with contributions by Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Paul Laurence Dunbar, Mary Church Terrell, Kelly Miller, and scores of now-forgotten African-American luminaries at the turn of the century. Culp’s tour de force is still widely cited by historians, a century later, for its unrivalled biographic information and its far-sighted consideration of such subjects as the achievement of Black inventors, the critical social role of Black women and whether Black colleges should be administered by Black educators rather than white philanthropists. Cloth rubbed, spine lettering faded, some soiling; front hinge restored/repaired; else very good. (400/600)

371. (1902 African-American Regiments in Spanish-American War) Cashin, Herschel; Charles Alexander; William T. Anderson; Arthur M. Brown; and Horace W. Bivins. Under Fire With The Tenth U.S. Cavalry, Being a Brief, Comprehensive Review of the Negro’s Participation in the Wars of the United States. Especially Showing the Valor and Heroism of the Negro Soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalries, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantries of the Regular Army; As Demonstrated in the Decisive Campaign around Santiago de Cuba, 1898, when These Soldiers Crowned Themselves with a Halo of Unfaded Glory. 361 pp. Illustrated with over 100 fine engravings from original photographs. (8vo) original cloth. Second Edition. Chicago: American Publishing House, [1902] First Edition published in 1899. Focuses on the Tenth Cavalry, but includes some account of other Black Cavalry and Infantry regiments in Cuba, and in the American West; with: Stereoview Photograph, “Camp Alger, Va. Colored Troops in Skirmish Drill” (M.H. Zahner, Niagara Falls, NY, c. 1898) Camp Alger was one of the first mobilization points for some 20,000 troops headed for Cuba during the Spanish-American War before it was judged to be an unhealthy site after 100 troops died from Typhoid Fever. Corners and spin ends rubbed and bumped, moderate soiling (colored pencil, yellow spots, etc); hinges cracked, faint finger soiling scattered within; a bit of surface wear to text on edge of stereo view; good.

Senate Report No. 355, Parts 1-3. 78 pp. (8vo), without wrappers, probably as issued. Bound in stiff cardboard with front cover paper label. With period photographic postcard, “On the right is the Cowan Residence into which the Negro Raiders fired twenty shots, Aug. 13th, 1906, Brownsville, Texas”. [Washington, D.C.]: U.S. Senate Committee on Military Affairs, March 11, 1908 This last congressional document relating to the Brownsville Affair of 1906, following three volumes of earlier Senate hearings and testimony, is perhaps the most significant because it includes a spirited defense, by two Progressive Republican Senators, of the 167 Black soldiers of the 25th Infantry Regiment, recipients of the Medal of Honor among them, who were dishonorably discharged by President Theodore Roosevelt. This defense, which examines the incident in detail and cites testimony that contradicted the US Army Inspector General’s flawed investigation of violent racial conflict between some Black troops and white citizens of Brownsville, Texas, was basically ignored for over sixty years until 1972, when the Army found most of the accused innocent of the charges and President Nixon issued a belated pardon and honorable discharge of the troops, only two of whom were then still living. An important document of African-American military history. Page 1 with a closed tear along gutter edge, and smaller closed tear at edge; very good. (300/500)

373. (1911 First Kentucky Black Preacher) Townsend, John Wilson. “Reverend London Ferrill” [in] Lore of the Meadowland: Short Studies in Kentuckiana. 34 pp. (8vo) original wrappers. Lexington, Kentucky: J.L. Richardson & Co., 1911 Long inscription by the author on flyleaf, dated May 13, 1912. First published biographic notes on “the most noted Negro preacher that Kentucky has produced.” Ferrill (1789-1854), a mixed- race Virginia slave, upon gaining his freedom, migrated to Kentucky and became preacher of the First African Baptist Church of Lexington, the first Black church west of the Allegheny Mountains and, during Ferrill’s 31 years of service, the largest Black congregation in the state. Stain on rear cover, small finger smudge on front cover; very good. (100/150)

Eau Claire, Wisconsin: James H. Tifft, 1913 An incredible story of one man’s life. Born into slavery in North Carolina in 1848, as a boy, while witnessing the most inhumane treatment of his people, Robinson escaped, was recaptured, put on the auction block, sold to a Virginian, escaped again and was recaptured again – all before the age of 12. When the Civil War began, he worked as a servant in the Confederate Army until freed by Union troops. He then enlisted in the famous 54th Massachusetts regiment and saw two years of combat. After the War, he worked for a time as a fireman in Nashville, joined a troupe of “Jubilee singers” that sailed across the Atlantic to perform in England, returned to America to attend a Black college in Tennessee, became a teacher, a Pullman porter, a steamship cook – and finally, a well-respected Minister of the A.M.E. Church in the Midwest. Covers soiled; hinges cracked; contents clean and very good; cloth good. (150/250)

Du Bois and the NAACP. 1 pp. On Houghton Mifflin Company letterhead. With a few ink corrections in Garrison’s hand. Boston: January 4, 1913 To Rolfe Cobleigh, “The Congregationalist”, Boston, thanking the religious paper editor “for your ringing editorial on the negro and the nation. It is a splendid keynote for the beginning of this anniversary year [50th anniversary of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation]…I assume that you see Dr. DuBois’s magazine, The Crisis every month…It is far and away the best periodical which the colored people have yet published and its success has been gratifying.” The youngest son of the late William Lloyd Garrison, leading “radical” anti-slavery crusader before the Civil War was a strong supporter of the NAACP, formed three years earlier, when the first issue of the Association’s monthly journal, The Crisis, appeared, edited by distinguished Black scholar W.E.B. DuBois. A fascinating link between the ante-bellum anti-slavery crusade and the Black civil rights movement of the early 20th century. A touch of wear from handling; very good. (200/300)

376. (1913 Harlem Club where Black Basketball was born) Typed Letter Signed from the Secretary of the St. Christopher Club - 1913 Football Star and Black Sports Writer Leslie Pollard Joins St. Christopher Athletic Club in Harlem. 1 pp. TLs on St. Christopher Club of St. Philip’s Parish NYC stationery. With original mailing envelope. Addressed to Mr. Leslie Pollard, 111 West 133rd Street, NYC. New York, NY: January 14th, 1913 “…at a special meeting held at the Parish House last evening, your application for membership in the Club was favorably acted upon…Trusting that the acquisition of your membership to our Club will be to the mutual advantage of all concerned…” Leslie Pollard was a role model for his younger brother, Fritz, future Black sports legend, while playing football at Dartmouth – where he broke racial barriers, being the first African-American even given “honorable mention” on Walter Camp’s All-American Team. The elder Pollard brother then moved to Harlem to become sports editor for the newly-established New York Amsterdam News. He was active, at the same time, in the New York City Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which would evolve into the National Urban League. By this letter, he also joined the leading Harlem athletic organization, notable for its track and field stars as well as its basketball team, which would play an historic role in the “Black Five” history of “colored basketball” before the integration of the sport in 1950. Some tearing to envelope, as expected; a tiny tear at edge of letter; very good. (200/300)

377. (African American Literature) Henderson, Elliott B. Darkey Ditties - inscribed by the author. 54 pp. (8vo), original textured red cloth, lettered in gilt. First Edition. Columbus, Ohio: 1915 Inscribed in pencil on front end-paper, “To the distinguished Mr. John Gammeter, one of Nature’s noblemen. Elliott B. Henderson. July 17th, 1918”, with Gammeter printed signature, Akron, Ohio, on front pastedown. A little-known African-American poet of the Dunbar era, Henderson (1877-1944) was born in Ohio, where he lived throughout his life, his grandfather having come north from Virginia (via the Underground Railroad?) long before the Civil War. He published eight other volumes of poems between 1904 and 1915, and several in later life, most of these being in Black dialect. John Gammeter, to whom this volume is inscribed, was an engineer and aviator of Swiss-German descent who headed the experimental division of the Goodrich Rubber Company, producing over 300 inventions, including a dirigible balloon used by the US Navy in World War I, and – his least celebrated but most lucrative - an improved latex condom. Covers lightly rubbed; hinges cracked or starting, last leaf of text and rear free endpaper with closed tear, faint finger soiling; very good. (150/250)

Page 117 TWO RARE STUDENT MAGAZINES 378. (1915 Rare Student Magazine of the 1st Black Elite High School) The Crimson and Black. Published Monthly by Pupils of the M Street High School. 12 pp. 9x6, original red wrappers, printed in black. Washington, D.C.: M Street High School, March, 1915 Rare issue - possibly the only surviving copy - of the student magazine at the foremost African- American secondary school of its time, the M Street High School in Washington, D.C. Founded after the Civil War, the School adopted a “rigorous curriculum” and had an “extraordinary faculty”: Kelly Miller taught Mathematics there before becoming a Professor at Howard University; the distinguished Black woman physician, Dr. Sara Brown, taught Science; future editor, poet and novelist Jessie Fauset taught French; and Carter Woodson taught History and Civics while founding his Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. By 1915, 75% of the School’s graduates had gone on to college – including such prestigious “white” schools as Harvard, Radcliffe, Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams, Oberlin, Columbia and Stanford. Many of its alumni were destined to become prominent educators and public figures, like Sadie Alexander (nee Mossell), “Socials” co-editor of this magazine, niece of the Dean of Howard University who, 30 years later, as the only Black woman member of President Truman’s Civil Rights Commission (see 1947 listing below) would champion racial integration of the US Army. The magazine itself has much school news as well as a report on the annual NAACP convention and an editorial on “the European War” which laments the “diabolical ingenuity” of newly-developed weapons like airships, machine guns and “other instruments of war. for the destruction of man.” (See the next listing for another, military-theme, issue of the magazine). Very light edge wear, a few tiny faint spots of soiling to rear wrapper; near fine. (200/300)

379. (1915 High School Military Training for Future Black Army Officers) The Crimson and Black. Published Monthly by Pupils of the M Street High School. 24 pp. Illustrated by photographs. 9x6, original red wrappers, printed in black. Washington, D.C.: May, 1915 Another rare issue of the student magazine described above, this being a “Drill Number” which, in addition to the usual school news and 3 pages of School cheers and songs, highlighted the ROTC-like Cadet Corps at this premier African-American secondary school in Washington, D.C. Dating back to the 1890s when Benjamin O. Davis, Sr., later the first Black General of the US Army, was among the cadets, by 1915, the M Street Corps included 180 of the school’s male students. Nine of the cadet officers (among them the magazine’s Editor in Chief) are pictured in this issue. Two years later, when the US entered World War I, many of these cadets would be commissioned as officers of segregated Black regiments. A few tiny nicks at wrapper edges; very good. (200/300)

380. (1916 African-American Music) Morton, Ferd. First jazz published in America - The “Jelly Roll” Blues (Fox-Trot). 3 pp. 10½x14”. With original color illustrated wrappers, illustrated by Starmer. Chicago: Will Rossiter, 1915 Front cover illustration by (William or Frederick) Starmer (prolific sheet music artists). Possibly a later issue, with 1916 Chicago newspaper review of “Walkin’ The Dog” on verso of front cover and 1916 music ads on rear cover. OCLC records a copy with different ads for music copyrighted in both 1915 and 1916. Though the front cover states “published for band and orchestra”, this music is clearly written for the piano. According to Wikipedia, Ferdinand Joseph La Mothe (1890-1941) “known professionally as Jelly Roll Morton, was an American ragtime and early jazz pianist, bandleader and composer, who started his career in New Orleans… Widely recognized as a pivotal figure in early jazz, Morton is perhaps most notable as jazz’s first arranger…His composition ‘Jelly Roll Blues’ was the first published jazz composition in 1915.” Wear to edges, tiny chips and rubbing, faint dampstain on rear cover; very good. (400/600)

Page 118 ONLY KNOWN COPY OF SHEET MUSIC 381. (1916 Ohio Colored Citizens Protective Association March by Los Angeles Jazz Musician – only known copy) Chaplain John C. Spikes. C.C.P.A. March and Two Step - only known copy of sheet music. Photographic cover + 4pp. of sheet music. 35x27.5 cm (13¾x10¾”). Hamilton, Ohio: Colored Citizens Protective Association, 1916 As this may be the only surviving copy of this excessively rare sheet music – neither this title, nor any of the five other compositions listed on the title page appear in the Library of Congress catalogue – we can only speculate that the composer was Jazz musician John Curry Spikes (1881-1955) who, a few years later, settled in Los Angeles where he started a music store, a nightclub, a recording studio and music publishing house, while continuing to write songs, in collaboration with his brother, Benjamin Franklin “Reb” Spikes, and the famous Jelly Roll Morton, who composed the first Jazz published in America (see previous entry in this catalogue). The brothers, according to Wikipedia, had worked together in a traveling band which performed in San Francisco around 1915; later, in 1922, they were first to record an all-black jazz band and possibly first to make a short “talkie” which predated Al Jolson’s Jazz Singer. Spikes and his brother also wrote the lyrics to Morton’s “Wolverine Blues” and composed their own popular “Someday Sweetheart”. If John Curry Spikes was indeed the composer of this earlier sheet music, it may be his first musical publication. Two horizontal creases (where folded), moderate wear with chips and tears at edges, a few tears repaired with tape at edges and spine, finger soiling; good. (400/600)

382. (1919 World War I Black Infantry Regimental History) Bliss, Major Paul S. Victory: History of the 805th Pioneer Infantry, American Expeditionary Forces. 224 pp. Profusely illustrated with photographs, maps and a few color plates. Original flexible brown cloth, lettered in gilt. St. Paul, Minn.: 1919 Scarce history of an African-American World War I regiment with white officers, one of whom was the author, Major Paul Southworth Bliss, a Harvard graduate who later became a North Dakota poet, this being the second of his eleven published books. Largely composed of Black soldiers from Mississippi, the 805th did not land in France until July 1918, seeing action for some six weeks before the Armistice, then stationed in Europe until the following summer. 37 “Pioneer” regiments, trained for both combat and simple field construction of trenches, roads, machine gun emplacements, warehouses and bomb shelters, were organized in the last months of World War I, more than half composed of black enlisted men commanded by white officers. Covers stained and corners clipped off front cover, not affecting text, spine ends chipped; very good. (150/250)

383. (1921 Negro Spirituals Ad Book For The 1st Black Cosmetics Company) Overton-Hygienic Co. Songs and Spirituals of Negro Composition for Revivals and Congregational Singing. 32 pp. Original printed wrappers, green cloth spine. Chicago: 1921 Half this book consists of music and lyrics for such familiar spirituals as Study War No More, Old Time Religion and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot – with a Foreword about the importance of preserving music which symbolized the “survival under adverse circumstances in Caucasian civilization” of “our unenlightened and illiterate ancestors”. More importantly, the other half displays illustrated ads for the Overton Company’s African-American cosmetics – “High- Brown” Face Powder (“the first market success in the sale of cosmetics for Black women”), Hair Grower, Shampoo Soap, Cold Cream, Talcum Powder and Tooth Paste. Born into slavery in Louisiana at the end of the Civil War, Anthony Overton established his Hygienic Company, which he later called “the largest Negro manufacturing enterprise in the United States”, in 1898 – ten years before Madam C.J.Walker began to build the cosmetics empire which would make her the best-known Black businesswoman in America. As Overton diversified his Chicago financial holdings into banking, insurance, real estate and newspapers, his pioneering cosmetics firm lost its original dominant market share to Walker and her white competitors. Early Overton advertising publications such as this have become scarce. Heavily worn wrapper edges, a few small yellow spots, a name in faded ink written at top edge of front wrapper; good.

The History of the Negro Church. 330 pp. Extensively illustrated. (8vo) original blue gilt-lettered cloth. Second Edition (published the same year as the First). Washington, D.C.: Associated Publishers, [1921] Inscribed on front flyleaf: “With the compliments of C.G. Woodson. Feb. 20, 1940” Apparently Woodson’s third book, preceded only by his Education of the Negro prior to 1861 (1915) and Century of Negro Migration (1918), This classic work by the “Father of Black History” (see other Woodson entries below), which went through three editions and was still in print 60 years later, was a fitting supplement to W.E.B. DuBois’ 1903 “Social Study” of the Negro Church, one of the most important institutions in African-American life after the Civil War. Light shelf wear; endpapers foxed, a small piece of tape to rear hinge; very good. (300/500)

385. (1926-38 Carter Woodson Black History classic and first ‘Negro History Week’) Woodson, Carter Godwin. The Negro In Our History. 628 pp. Original Cloth. Fifth Edition. Revised and Enlarged. Washington, D.C.: Associated Publishers, [1928] Also includes: “Negro History Week” in The Journal of Negro History, April 1926, Pp.238- 242. Original wrappers. Probable reprint, though not identified as such. The classic book by the “Father of Black history”, originally published in 1922 with 393 pages, was greatly enlarged in each subsequent edition over the next decade, reaching 673 pages by 1931. At the same time, Woodson launched his personal brainchild – an annual celebration of “Negro History Week” – sponsored by his Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, formed in 1915. In the Association Journal issue offered here, Woodson called “most encouraging” the first celebration, held two months before and given official recognition in Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, which was to evolve, after Woodson’s death in 1950, into the current national observance of Black History Month. Light wear; very good. (200/300)

386. (1934 Carter Woodson’s Negro Professional Man) Woodson, Carter Godwin. The Negro Professional Man and the Community, with Special Emphasis on the Physician and the Lawyer. 365 pp. (8vo) original blue cloth. Washington, D.C.: Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, [1934] An ex-library copy, but one of special significance - from the corporate library of Black entrepreneur John Johnson, publisher of Ebony and Jet (see 1944 entry below) with company rubberstamp on front pastedown. Woodson himself had established the first Black publishing house in America, though with an historical emphasis. In this book, one of his more scarce titles, he calls for more publishing opportunities for Black writers of fiction and poetry. He could not foresee the success of the popular magazines which, in ten years, would set John Johnson on the path to becoming the wealthiest Black “professional man” in America. Rubbed spine ends and corners, dampstain to bottom corner of text block and covers; rubberstamp on front pastedown; good. (150/250)

Page 120 387. (1934 First Broadway Play About the Scottsboro Boys) 1934 First Broadway Play About the Scottsboro Boys - original photographic still. Original photographic still. 8x10. Several markings on verso in pencil, plus rubberstamp of the photograph studio. New York: Vandamm Studio, [1934] From a staging of the first Broadway play about the Scottsboro miscarriage of justice case in Alabama, John Wexley’s “They Shall Not Die”, which starred Claude Rains as defense counsel for the eight Black adolescents, falsely accused of raping two white women, who were sentenced to death by an all-white jury in 1931. Made into a national cause célèbre by the Communist Party after the US Supreme Court overturned the convictions and ordered a retrial, this one-act play premiered while the defense counsel, a Jewish lawyer from New York, continued five years of courtroom maneuvering in the face of local hatred and death threats, eventually winning freedom for four of the young men. Performed to capacity Broadway audiences, the Wexley play was criticized by some, including an NAACP critic, as Communist “propaganda” but was more widely staged than another, openly pro-Communist play by poet and novelist Langston Hughes. Ten years later, Rains went on to cinema fame as Humphrey Bogart’s cynical French police foil in Casablanca. Faint crease at top edge; very good. (100/150)

388. (1934-49 Black Cosmetics Advertising) Valmor Products Co. 36 Art Deco color pictorial labels for cosmetics products for African American women. 36 Art Deco color pictorial labels for cosmetics products – hair dressing pomade, hand cream, lemon lotion, even mouth wash - marketed to Africa-American women in the 1930s. Various sizes. Valmor Products Co., 1934-49 Marketed to African-American women under various product and company names including “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “Madam Jones”, the latter being an obvious effort to compete effectively with the famous Black woman entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker. In this, Valmor – brainchild of German-Jewish émigré Morton Neumann – was successful, in part because of a flair for using garish Art Deco labels which he designed himself; and Hy-Beaute Chemical Co. Poster for Hair Dressing, Slik-Down Pomade and Smokeless Pressing Oil (Atlanta, Georgia, ca. 1949) Hy-Beaute, owned by African-American businessman James Edward Jordan, represented the resurgence of Black-owned companies in the cosmetics industry after World War II, recapturing the Depression-era market share of white companies like Valmor. Near fine. (150/250)

389. (1936-39 Two African Studies by Carter Woodson) Woodson, Carter Godwin. Two African Studies by Carter Woodson. Two volumes, including: * African Heroes and Heroines. Illustrated with drawings by Jones. 49pp. Original cloth in the striking pictorial dust jacket, designed by African-American painter, book illustrator and textile designer Lois Mailou Jones. First Edition. Washington, D.C.: Associated Publishers, [1939]. * The African Background Outlined, Or Handbook for the Study of the Negro. 478 pp. Original cloth. Illustrated. Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, [1936]. Reading copy of a rare title, with some pencil marginalia and highlighting, affecting four pages. Washington, D.C.: Associated Publishers, [1936-1939] In the 1930s, Woodson became increasingly convinced that study of the African origins of the Black race was essential to understanding the transplanted African’s tragic history in America. Mostly mild general wear to jacket edges, and volume edges; very good. (300/500)

Page 121 390. (1936 Paul Robeson, Signed Russian Music from Moscow) Blanter, Matvey, composer. Partizan Zheleznyak - 1936 Paul Robeson’s Russian Music from Stalin’s Moscow. 3 pp. Lyrics (in Russian) by Michaila Golodnovo. Moscow: 1936 Paul Robeson’s copy, signed by him at the top of front cover. Probably purchased by this Renaissance man – athlete, lawyer, actor, singer – on one of his 1930s trips to Stalin’s Russia, when he decided to send his nine year-old son to be educated there, in a culture he believed to be free of American-style racism. During those years, he also took an interest in Soviet music, and perhaps thought of recording an English version of Partizan Zheleznyak, the ballad of a Soviet soldier’s heroic death in battle, with the rhythm of a Red Army marching song – a prelude to Blanter’s internationally-famous Katyusha (1938). Robeson did later record the Internationale in English, which, even with his superb voice, lost something in the translation (“…long live our Soviet motherland…”) and presaged the problems that would later haunt him because of his embrace of Communism during the Cold War; with 1933 sheet music for “Emperor Jones”, based on the film, starring Robeson, of Eugene O’Neill’s play. 5pp. with a striking Art Deco cover design by Benjamin “Jori” Harris, who later illustrated sheet music for Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Light wear to edges from handling; very good. (250/350)

INSCRIBED BY THE FOUNDER OF THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE 391. (1936 Alain Locke’s Negro And His Music, Inscribed to Marian Anderson) Locke, Alain. The Negro and His Music - inscribed by the founder of the Harlem Renaissance to famed singer Marian Anderson. Bronze Booklet Number 2. 142 pp. Original decorative boards. First Edition. Washington, D.C.: Associates in Negro Folk Education, 1936 Inscribed on flyleaf: “For Marian Anderson, in deep appreciation and friendship, Alain Locke 1939”. A superb association book of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and ‘30s, of which Howard University Professor Locke was “philosophical architect” and “ideological genius”. Locke’s book traces African-American music from slave spirituals and “minstrelsy” through Ragtime and Jazz. In his chapter on “Negro Musicians To-day”, he highlights Marian Anderson (misspelling her first name in both the book and inscription), “who has achieved international fame as ‘one of the greatest voices of this generation’”. That Locke presented this copy to Anderson three years after its publication prompts speculation that he may have given it to the internationally-acclaimed singer on the occasion of her legendary concert at the Lincoln Memorial in April 1939. Lightly rubbed at extremities, a few faint marks to rear cover; offsetting at title page; very good. (800/1200)

392. (1940 Marian Anderson Inscribed Photo on Hawaiian Tour) 1940 Marian Anderson Tours Hawaii, Inscribed Photo. Dramatic photograph of singer Marian Anderson, while on a concert tour of Hawaii, standing in front of an Inter Island Airways plane, bedecked with leis and flowers. 7½x9½. Inscribed: “To John Yamada, best wishes, Marian Anderson”. Together with a printed 3-pg. program for a performance sponsored by the Lions Club of Kauai on June 28, 1940. 1940 The year after her famous concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, and a year before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the world-famous African-American singer performed six concerts in the Hawaiian Islands at a time of great stress in her private life – including her fiance’s difficulty in finding a suitable East coast home which property owners were willing to sell to African-Americans; and her long-time Finnish accompanist’s sudden absence due to a “sexual indiscretion”. Nevertheless, Anderson fulfilled all her Hawaiian engagements, one of which was arranged by the Rev. Masao Yamada, Pastor of a church at Hilo, who, after Pearl Harbor, was to become the first Japanese-American chaplain of the US Army. This photograph was inscribed to Yamada’s son. Photograph faded a bit; program creased with very light foxing; very good. (300/500)

Page 122 393. (1940 - Jackie Robinson’s Junior Year at U.C.L.A.) U.C.L.A. Yearbook for Jackie Robinson’s junior year. 464 pp. Profusely illustrated from photographs. 30.5x22.5 cm. (12x9”), cloth. Los Angeles: 1940 Yearbook for Jackie Robinson’s junior year at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he had transferred after two years at Pasadena Junior College. He was to become the first African- American to play baseball in the Major Leagues since the 1880s, breaking in with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 after a year in the minor leagues. His athletic prowess was exceptional, and he became UCLA’s first athlete to win varsity letters in four sports: baseball, basketball, football, and track. He was particularly productive in football, and he is mentioned in the recap of every game in which he played (he sat down for several due to a knee injury). He is one of six players given a featured picture, and is in at least three other pictures for football. He was a forward Lot 393 on the basketball team, with a featured picture as one of the starting five, and is in two other basketball pictures. He is in the baseball team picture, though it is noted that his appearance on the diamond was delayed due to his activity on the hardcourt. Curiously, he is not mentioned in track section, and in the baseball overview it is noted “Jackie Robinson, in turning down track for baseball, added his name to the records for consistent field play and baserunning.” But Robinson did participate in track and he won the 1940 NCAA Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championship in the Long Jump, jumping 24’10.5”. Perhaps the timing of his participation was too late for inclusion in the yearbook. Some rubbing to joints and extremities, shaken, very good. (300/500)

Page 123 394. (1941 Eleanor Roosevelt Dedicates 1st African-American Art Museum in Chicago) Roosevelt, Mrs. Franklin D. Dedication by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, South Side Community Art Center, May 7, 1941. 17 pp. Original decorative wrappers. Also included in the lot: * A New Way, Good Shepherd Community Center (Chicago, [1939]), 4pp. * Good Shepherd Community Center (Chicago, 1941) Pictorial leaflet, 4pp. Chicago: South Side Community Art Center, May 7, 1941 In a ceremony broadcast on national radio and attended by such Black celebrities as Alain Locke, Ethel Waters, and Bessie Smith, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated the South Side Community Art Center of Chicago – called “the first Black art museum in the United States.” Supported by President Roosevelt’s WPA, it was “home” to many Chicago artists, including muralist and painter Charles Wilbert White (whose named is listed in the program) and photographer and film director Gordon Parks, who kept a studio in the basement, The two other leaflets record the parallel establishment of the Good Shepherd Community Center – later known as the Parkway Community House – directed by eminent Black scholar Horace Cayton, Jr., author of the 1945 classic Black Metropolis, “the most important sociological study of urban ghetto life every written”. The Parkway became a mecca of Black creativity: John Johnson brought out the first issue of Ebony from an office in the Center, where Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, Franklin Frazier, Gwendolyn Brooks, W.E.B. Du Bois and Katherine Durham might be seen in rapt conversation. Together, the Parkway and South Side Centers were the focal points of the Chicago Black Renaissance of the 1930s and ‘40s. All three of these ephemeral items are rare imprints. Some yellowing and light wear to each; very good. (250/350)

395. (1941 Bronze American Beauty Contest, Portland, Oregon) Danceteria, Grand Anniversary And Bronze American Beauty Contest. Souvenir Album. 16 pp. Illustrated with photographs. 26x14 cm (10½x5½”) original brown wrappers, printed in black. Portland, Oregon: 1941 After Black women were barred from the Miss America contests of the 1920, both local and national “Miss Bronze” and “Miss Black America” contests were organized during the Depression years, this one, in Portland, held just a few months before America entered World War II. Apart from photos of the 12 contestants (with ink notes of the winners), this booklet has a dedication to Mrs. Lionel Hampton, a feature on the Jimmie Lunceford Swing Orchestra, and ads for a variety of local businesses, both Black and white. The name Clarence Stanton Duke, written in period ink on bottom edge of front wrapper; someone inked who won 1st, etc. inside; very good. (120/180)

396. (1943-49 10 issues of John Johnson’s Negro Digest) Johnson, John H., managing editor. Negro Digest, A Magazine of Negro Comment - ten issues from 1943-1949. 10 issues: Oct. and Nov. 1943, May and Nov. 1944, June 1945, June 1946, Aug.-Nov. 1949. 7¾x5½”, original wrappers. Varying in length from approximately 80 to 100pp. Chicago: 1943-49 “Negro Digest” was the first magazine venture of John Harold Johnson, perhaps the most successful (and wealthiest) African-American entrepreneur of the 20th century. Modeling the magazine on Reader’s Digest, as an anthology of condensed articles from other periodicals which would be of interest to African-American readers, Johnson produced his first issue in November 1942. The original Digest series was eclipsed in the 1950s by Johnson’s later publica- tions, the popular pictorial magazines “Ebony” and “Jet”. The ten issues of the Digest offered here, which appeared during and after World War II display a broad range of distinguished writers, both Black (W.E.B. Dubois, Zora Neale Hurston, Benjamin Quarles, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Mercer Cook, E. Franklin Frazier, Robert Weaver, Arna Bontemps, Richard Wright) and white (Carl Sandburg, Archibald MacLeish, Eleanor Roosevelt, John Dos Passos, Norman Thomas, Orson Welles) as well as such intriguing titles as “Nothing is Impossible for the Negro” by Ralph Bunche, “My Greatest Thrill” by Jackie Robinson, “Swing Is My Beat” by Duke Ellington, “My Greatest Break” by Nat ‘King” Cole, “What Negroes Think of Jews” by Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and “My Biggest Break” by Louis Armstrong. Light to moderate wear to wrapper edges, contents yellowed over time to few, Nov. 1949 waterstained; very good. (200/300) Page 124 397. (1943-45 New Generation of Black Women Stars) Dunham, Katherine. Original 8x10 photograph of Katherine Dunham, inscribed - plus others. Photographs include: * Katherine Dunham. Photograph. 8 x 10 inches. inscribed “To Margaret Day. Sincerely Katherine Dunham”. * Lena Horne Publicity Photo. Unsigned, 4.25 x 6.25 inches. * Jeri Smith. Photograph. 8.5 x 10 inches. Inscribed “To My Loving Cousin, Violet [Dedia?]. From Jeri Smith, 1945”. * With Program of Smith’s appearance at Carnegie Hall, February 1945, inscribed “To My Loving Cousin, Violet, from Jeri Smith, 1945”. 1943-45 The World War II years saw a new generation of young Black women entertainers coming into prominence. Katherine Dunham, called “the matriarch and queen mother of Black dance”, gave up an academic career as an Anthropologist to become a ballerina and form her own dance company, which appeared on Broadway and in Hollywood films and performed on stages throughout the world. Strikingly beautiful Lena Horne rose from the Cotton Club chorus line to Hollywood stardom in the 1943 film Stormy Weather, which also featured Dunham’s troupe, and a who’s who cast of Black male entertainers. Least remembered of this trio, Geraldine “Jeri” Smith, after a classical musical education and years of playing piano in “honky tonk joints”, had a brief hour of fame when she “crashed Carnegie Hall with a Boogie beat” in 1945, electrifying audiences with jazz and swing arrangements of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Puccini, Beethoven and Grieg. Mild to moderate wear from handling, especially to Jeri Smith photograph and program, each with several yellow spots; good or very good. (200/300)

398. (1944 World War II Black Division that fought in Italy) Infantry Day in the 92nd Division [cover title] - The “Buffalo” [Newspaper]. 14 pp. Extensively illustrated with dramatic photographs of Black soldiers in training, and photographically illustrated wrappers. [Fort Huachuca, Arizona?]: June 15, 1944 Organized during World War I, the US Army’s segregated 92nd Infantry Division, nicknamed “Buffalo Soldiers” after the Negro troops of the Indian Wars, was the only Black Infantry Division to see combat in Europe during World War II. This booklet was apparently issued as a souvenir of the training completed just two months before the troops shipped out to Italy, where they saw heavy fighting and sustained over 3,000 casualties. The Division’s white Commanding General, who wrote the preface to this booklet, later blamed his troops for poor performance in the field and advised the Army to never again use Black soldiers in combat. Ironically, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team of Japanese-Americans, attached to the 92nd Division in Italy, was the most highly decorated Infantry regiment in US Army history. This booklet was designed by Staff Sergeant Verdun P. Cook, a highly-talented Black photographer and graphic artist, who, after the War, became an advertising executive and Senior Designer of Redbook magazine; in 1964, Cook also designed a memorial book for one of the 3 young Civil Rights workers murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi. A rare Black military imprint. Horizontal crease from folding, a bit of erasure to top right corner; very good. (150/250)

399. (1944 African-American Beauty College, Chicago) Brown, Madame G.M. Commencement Exercises of Brown’s Egyptian Beauty College: April 9 & 10, 1944 at Hartzell Methodist Church - program. 16 pp. Extensively illustrated with pictures of the graduates, coiffure styles, scalp treatments for men and women, and weight reducing machines. (8vo) original red wrappers with photograph of MME. G.M. Brown, President and Founder, on front cover. [Chicago, IL]: 1944 Yet another take-off on the fame of Madame C.J. Walker and her College of Hair Culture. Brown’s College was one of the newer beauty schools in Chicago, with 100 graduates in its first five years of operation. An inexpensive production and possibly the only surviving copy. Light finger soiling to wrapper edges and to edges of a few leaves within; very good. (120/180)

Page 125 400. (1944 Negro War Worker In San Francisco) Johnson, Charles S., et al. The Negro War Worker in San Francisco, A Local Self-Survey. 98 pp. Original wrappers. San Francisco: May, 1944 “A project, financed by a San Francisco citizen, administered by the YWCA, and carried out in connection with the Race Relations Program of the American Missionary Association, Dr. Charles S. Johnson, Director, and the Julius Rosenwald Fund”. Noting the astonishing influx of 650,000 “migrants” to California in four years of War, this comprehensive sociological study focuses on the 60,000 who were Black, doubling the “Negro population” of cities like San Francisco and Oakland almost overnight. The study, displaying scores of statistical tables, examined Black family structure, housing, schooling, recreation, “delinquency” (crime), and general “problems of adjustment”. A ground-breaking survey of modern African-American history in California, and scarce, not held by any institution outside of California. Wrappers a touch yellowed; former owner’s name apparently cut from top of title-page, with no loss of text. Pencil notes on rear flyleaf apparently made by someone studying the problem of racial discrimination in San Francisco housing; very good. (150/250)

401. (1945 White Officer’s Case For Racial Integration Of The Armed Services) Schoenfeld, Seymour J. The Negro In The Armed Forces, His Value and Status – Past, Present and Potential. 84 pp. Original boards, dust jacket. First Edition. Washington, D.C.: Associated Publishers, 1945 Produced at the end of World War II by Carter Woodson’s publishing house, and written by a white officer of the Naval Reserve, this little book is an early argument for complete integration of African-American soldiers and sailors into the armed services – three years before President Truman’s Executive Order which abolished racial discrimination in the military. Boosting Schoenfeld’s argument was the Foreword by Colonel Evans Carlson – perhaps the most famous Marine officer of the War (who introduced “Gung-Ho” into the English vocabulary) – urging that the book should be “required reading for all officers of the armed services”. Jacket browned at edges; a touch bumped to volume edge; near fine. (120/180)

402. (1947 Gordon Parks. 1st Photography Manual by an African-American) Parks, Gordon. Flash Photography - 1947 Gordon Parks, 1st Photography Manual by an African-American. 96 pp. Profusely illustrated with photographs by Weegee, Halsmann, et. al. (4to), original pictorial wrappers. First Edition. New York: Franklin Watts, [1947] Though most often remembered as director of the 1971 classic film Shaft, Gordon Parks (1912-2006) was something of a renaissance man - photographer, musical composer, poet and novelist. This was his first book, written while working as a freelance fashion photographer for Vogue magazine. The Grosset & Dunlap reprint is sometimes mistakenly identified as the first appearance, but this is the First Edition of the first photography manual written by an African American. Creasing and light wear to wrapper edges, moderate wear to spine, repaired with tape (now yellowed); name in ink on front wrapper and on title page; very good. (100/150)

403. (1947 Joe Louis) Louis, Joe. My Life Story. Illustrated with photographs. (8vo) green cloth, dust jacket. First Edition. New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, [1947] Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis was World Heavyweight Champion from 1937 to 1949, the longest span of a heavyweight titleholder. He is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Louis’s clipped autograph affixed to the title page with old cello-tape, now discolored. Jacket price-clipped and with several large pieces lacking; volume near fine, jacket poor. (200/300)

Page 126 404. (1953 Billie Holliday on Drug Addiction) Holliday, Billie. “Can a Dope Addict Come Back?” - in Tan (magazine). Pp. 32-35, 79-81 in Tan (magazine). Illustrated with photographs of Holliday, including front cover color photo of her with pet dogs. February 1953 One of the greatest Jazz singers of the 20th century, Billie Holiday was arrested for possession of narcotics at the height of her career in 1947; she pled guilty, spent some time at a Federal Prison Camp, then staged a wildly-successful comeback concert at Carnegie Hall, but was again arrested for drug possession in 1949. She continued to perform and remained popular despite continued drug abuse, alcoholism and failing health which affected her voice. Deciding to speak openly about her personal problems on an early television “reality show” in October 1953, she first wrote this autobiographic article which appeared in a true-confessions, gossip-type magazine owned by John Johnson, the Black publisher of the better-known Negro Digest, Jet and Ebony. This rare issue predated by three years Holliday’s frank book memoir, Lady Sings the Blues. Some light spots of soiling and edge wear to wrappers; very good. (100/150)

ADAM CLAYTON POWELL’S HARLEM VISION 405. (1966 Adam Clayton Powell’s Harlem Vision) Powell, Adam Clayton. Typed Letter Signed as US Congressman. 1 pp. On House of Representatives stationery. Addressed to Charlotte Pomerantz, Editor, Marzani and Munsell, New York. Washington, D.C.: August 3, 1966 “Harlem’s beauty and its agony were never more lovingly portrayed than in ‘Harlem Stirs’. It was a pleasure to read about the latent power that was mobilized in the rent strikes and other historic protests. Harlem can become that greater community and that finer neighborhood of humanity if it can arouse its citizens to care.” For 25 years, Adam Clayton Powell (1908- 1972) represented Harlem in Congress, noted for his political power, outspoken oratory and flamboyant lifestyle. Six months after he wrote this letter, the House of Representatives voted to “exclude” him from Congress for ethical violations – an action the US Supreme Court subsequently held unconstitutional. In this letter to an editor at a left-wing New York publishing house, Powell praises its just-published photographic essay on Harlem which showed “newly- aroused” residents organizing community projects and joining in campaigns against slumlords. One Black reviewer called the book “…an unpleasant and depressing reminder of the grim American reality…Harlem stirs out of its long night of apathy and despair and self-mockery... The backdrop looks hopeless, but there is hope. All that beauty and power comes through the gloom...” In this letter, Congressman Powell chose to emphasize the upbeat undercurrent of the book – a reflection of his “keep the faith, baby” buoyancy which for so many years made him a hero to the Harlem Black community. Light wear at top left corner from removed staple; else near fine. (300/500)
