Sanftleben, ABAA, APS Dealer, NSDA Read’Em Again Books Catalog 21-1 – February, 2021 Item #30 – “MAIL DELIVERED WITHOUT THE LOSS OF MY HAIR, BUT WITH A BULLET HOLE THROUGH THE STOCK OF MY GUN. .. IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL FOR MY HEAD” – An amazing Indian Wars and Montana Trail Archive. Robert J. Moore. Mostly Utah, Wyoming, and Montana: 1860s – 1920s. The two highlights of this lot are: Moore’s single-spaced, five-page typed memoir vividly detailing his combat experiences as a sergeant in the 2nd Cavalry Regiment between 1869-1873 during the Indian Wars in Utah and the Yellowstone-Stillwater Region of Wyoming and Montana and His 1881 handwritten daily-diary kept while leading one of the last wagon trains up the Montana Trail from Salt Lake City, Utah to Bozeman, Montana. Our focus is on providing unusual ephemera and original personal narratives including Diaries, Journals, Correspondence, Photograph Albums, & Scrapbooks. We specialize in unique items that provide collectors and researchers with insight into American history, society, and culture while telling stories within themselves. Although we love large archives, usually our offerings are much smaller in scope; one of our regular institutional customers calls them “microhistories.” These original source materials enliven collections and provide students, faculty, and other researchers with details to invigorate otherwise dry theses, dissertations, and publications. Terms of Sale Prices are in U.S dollars. When applicable, we must charge sales tax.

Wilock It is the goal of this dissertation to investigate the institution of Yale College and those who called it home during the Revolutionary Period in America. In so doing, it is hoped that this study will inform a much larger debate about the very nature of the American Revolution itself. The role of various rectors and presidents will be considered, as well as those who worked for the institution and those who studied there.

  • Indiana Magazine of History Volume Xxxv March, 1939 Number1
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUME XXXV MARCH, 1939 NUMBER1 Land Policy and Tenancy in the Prairie Counties of Indiana* PAULWALLACE GATES The great prairie section of Indiana stretching from the Wabash to the Kankakee today challenges the attention of agricultural economists and social planners because of the high rate of farm tenancy, the large average size of farms, the declining population of the rural areas, the poor tenant homes that do not harmonize with the richness of the sur- rounding soil, and a type of farming which for two gener- ations has been depleting the soil and reducing its ferti1ity.l This section, a continuation of the Grand Prairie of Illi- nois, has had an agricultural history sharply different from that of southern Indiana. In three prairie counties, Benton, Newton, and White, more than half of the farms are oper- ated by tenants and in three others, Jasper, Warren and Tip- pecanoe, over 40% are tenant operated. On the Illinois side of the Grand Prairie the rate of tenancy is even higher. Contrast this with the sixteen counties in southern Indiana which have less than 20% of their farms operated by tenants The largest farms in Indiana are also to be found in the prairie counties. Two farms totalling over 17,000 acres are reported from Newton County, and Jasper and Newton each contain eleven other farms over 1,000 acres in size. In Benton and Newton Counties, the average size of farms is well over 200 acres, and, in White, Warren and Jasper, it is over 160 acres. In few southern counties does the average size of farms exceed 125 acres.

  • Abraham Lincoln As a Political Scientist
    Abraham Lincoln as Political Scientist Tim R. Miller, Ph.D. Katrina L. Miller-Stevens, Ph.D. Dept. of Political Science Dept. of Urban Studies University of Illinois, Springfield and Public Administration Old Dominion University Norfolk, Virginia Prepared for presentation at the Wepner Symposium on the Lincoln Legacy and Contemporary Political Science University of Illinois, Springfield, October 8-9, 2010. Abraham Lincoln was many things during his lifetime, including being a family man, friend, and lifelong student of law, culture, and history. He was a clerk and frontiersman, was admired as an athlete (particularly wrestling and moving heavy objects) and yes, briefly worked as a rail-splitter. He was an amateur poet, and a widely admired orator. And Lincoln was, of course, a successful politician who served in the Illinois General Assembly (1834-42), U.S. House of Representatives (1847-49), and as President of the United States of America (1861-65). While controversial during his lifetime, the martyred Chief Executive would ultimately be judged one of the foremost leaders in American – and indeed world – history. These observations, among others, are rather obvious about this great human being. In the pages to follow, we ask a different and somewhat novel question (in that we find it nowhere in the vast Lincoln literature). Can Abraham Lincoln be seen as a member of the fraternity of political scientists? Is there a case to be made that in this regard he was one of us? We approach the topic with both enthusiasm and caution. We are enthusiastic that the endeavor enables us to pursue our mutual interests in the life of Lincoln; and it allows us the opportunity to participate in Professor Holden’s Symposium featuring so many leading presidential scholars, and even offers us the potential chance to influence, however modestly, the context in which subsequent presentations are considered.

The True University: Yale’s Library from 1843 to 1931 “The true university of these days is a collection of books.” -Thomas Carlyle, On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History Elizabeth James Branford College Professor Jay Gitlin April 6, 2015 2 Introduction By the summer of 1930, Sterling Memorial Library was nearing completion, lacking only the university’s 1.6 million books. At 6:00 AM on July 7, with a ceremonial parade of the library’s earliest accessions, the two-month project of moving the books commenced. Leading the trail of librarians was the head librarian, Andrew Keogh, and the head of the serials cataloguing department, Grace Pierpont Fuller. Fuller was the descendant of James Pierpont, one of the principal founders of Yale, and was carrying the Latin Bible given by her ancestor during the fabled 1701 donation of books that signaled the foundation of the Collegiate School.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research.
