John Michael Lang Fine Books John Michael Lang Fine Books [email protected] (206) 624 4100 5416 – 20th Avenue NW Seattle, WA 98107 USA 1. Allan, Prof. W. Theory of Arches. New York: D. Van Nostrand Company, 1890. 5.75" x 3.5". 121pp., plus ads. Green cloth with black lettering. Near fine condition. Second edition. A detailed technical work, with many diagrams and complicated mathematical formulae. This book was apparently intended to aid in the study of the works of the eminent Scottish mechanical engineer William John Macquorn Rankine. Number 11 in the Van Nostrand Science Series. $100.00 2. Angeli, Marguerite de. Autograph letter signed. One page letter, in the original mailing envelope. Folded twice for mailing, else fine condition. Dated June 6th, 1950. The author was an American writer and illustrator of children's books including the 1950 Newberry Award winning book The Door in the Wall. She wrote and illustrated twenty-eight of her own books, and illustrated more than three dozen books and numerous magazine stories and articles for other authors. A one page holograph ink note of apology to the "Boys and Girls of Loyal School." Apparently she was unable to visit the school, where her cousin was a teacher. With a charming drawing of a floral bouquet in a heart shaped vase at the bottom of the sheet. $60.00 3. [College Humor] The Whitman College Pioneer. Volume 51, number 24. Walla Walla, Washington: Whitman College, 1949. Single sheet, folded to form a 22" x 16" newspaper. Printed entirely in red. Folded, as issued, and with mild edge wear, but remarkably well preserved. This April Fool edition declares in giant lettering at the top of the above the fold panel "WE GO RED." The entire four page paper is news written in a parody of Soviet - style propaganda news. One headline declares that "Anna L. Throng of Moscow Selected May Rally Queen." Anna Louise Strong was an American radical political activist who was best known for her reporting on and support for communist movements in the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. She was a Seattelite, and served on the Seattle School Board, from which she was recalled. Much of the paper is quite hilarious, but we are surprised that the students at Whitman had the gall to publish such satire. America had already had the Red Scare of the late teens, and the establishment of the Iron Curtain following WWII was ominous to the entire world. Given that the Soviets executed their first nuclear weapons test in August of 1949, and the arrest and trial of the Rosenbergs was only a couple of years off, this parody was probably issued at nearly the last moment in which such humor would have been tolerated by most college officials. $60.00 4. [Disraeli, Benjamin]. The Pretty Little Coronet and The Great Big B! [No place; probably London]: L. & R., [circa 1879]. Folded to form a 5.75" x 4.75" booklet. Illustrated wrappers. Ownership signature in the margin of the front wrapper, edge wear; generally VG condition. The rear cover is split, but just barely holding. The fold out plates are in excellent, bright condition. (One fold has a 1" split at the fold.) The ten plates fold out to 83" x 3.25". They satirically depict the life and career of British politician Benjamin Disraeli in bright comic color plates. Very uncommon. $100.00 FAMOUS 1930s NIGHT CLUB WITH MOB CONNECTIONS 5. [Food - Menu - New Jersey] Ben Marden’s Riviera Show Place of the World Wine List. Ca. 1937. One sheet folded to form a 7.5" x 11.5" booklet. Very expensive wine and drink list for this legendary night spot, not far from New York City. Ben Marden opened the original Riviera not long after the end of Prohibition. That location was destroyed by fire in late 1936, but Ben was soon back in business in an even more spectacular setting...a built-to-order Art Deco-Moderne palace which was so fancy and innovative that it was featured in a 1941 issue of Architectural Digest. Marden's original Riviera closed very soon after the end of WWII. There was a later and also fancy incarnation, but nothing to rival the glory days of the original Riviera. Rumors, some substantiated, circled for years about mob money being involved with the Riviera...Albert Anastasia was credited with being an investor, and Ben Marden himself was called to testify in various legislative hearings about organized crime. In 1939, there was a particularly ugly mob killing in the woods near the club. A man was found tied to a tree and burned to death...but somehow the death was ruled a suicide. Note the very expensive, top-of-the- line vintage Champagnes being offered...the really desired ones from the 1920s. The mixed drinks and other liquor were not cheap either. This place did not cater to college kids out on a cheap date. We date this menu from right around the time Marden opened his "new" Riviera, ca. 1937. An excellent, near fine example of a very desireable piece of American night life history. $150.00 6. [Food - Menu - Pasadena] The Vista Del Arroyo - Pasadena. Pair of charming menus from this landmark Pasadena hotel. Single sheets on card stock: A. Breakfast - January 11, 1927. 5.25" x 8.25". B. St. Patrick's Day Dinner. March 17, 1927. 5.5" x 8.25". Both near fine condition. The Vista Del Arroyo was built in 1920 and expanded in 1930 and for many years was one of the outstanding urban “resort hotels" in Southern California. Sadly, its life as a resort was not a long one...the building and surrounding cottages and grounds were purchased by the US Government in 1943, and the lovely hotel was turned into a hospital. In later years it housed various government offices but in 1981 it was named to the National Register of Historic Places, underwent much renovation and restoration, and became the Richard H. Chambers United States Court of Appeals...still standing today on its dramatic hillside lot...a happy fate for a grand old institution, unlike that of the much missed Ambassador in Los Angeles, which was closed in 1989 and demolished in 2005, despite great efforts to save it. Both menus reveal the deluxe nature of what was offered at the Vista Del Arroyo...the St. Pat's dinner selections are especially tempting, right down to the variety of fresh fruits for dessert. For the pair: $45.00 7. Harding, D. E. [Douglas Edison]. The Face Game. Liberation Without Dogmas, Drugs or Delay. 1969. 11" x 8". 170pp. Typescript, bound in brown cloth boards. VG+ condition. With tipped in illustrations and taped in emendations of passages in the text. Harding was an English philosophical writer, mystic, and spiritual teacher. This book remained unpublished until the author's friends found the manuscript and had it published in 2018. Harding also wrote The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth, which had a preface by C.S. Lewis who called it “a work of the highest genius.” With three hand written letters from Harding to a Seattle acquaintance laid in. $175.00 8. [Hawaii – Military History] Naval Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, T.H. (Home For Fleet Air Wing Two). Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, T.H. : (Fleet Air Wing Two), 1946. 7.5" x 11.5". 31pp. Stapled printed wrappers. Near fine condition. A good study of the Hawaiian military installation. On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the air station just minutes prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. 27 Catalina aircraft stationed there were destroyed and six others were damaged, and 18 sailors perished in the attack. The first Japanese aircraft destroyed in action were shot down at Kaneohe and Aviation Ordnanceman Chief Petty Officer John William Finn became one of the first Medal of Honor recipients of World War II for valor on that day. This post war booklet includes text about the fort's facilities and staff, the role the fort played in the nation's defense, local Hawaiians and their interaction with American military personnel, and much more. With many black & white photo illustrations. $100.00 9. Holbrook, Stewart H. The Columbia. New York: Rinehart & Co., Inc., 1956. First edition. 8" x 5.5". 393pp. Blue cloth, in dust wrapper. Near fine condition; very bright near fine condition jacket. One of the nicest copies of this book we have seen. This entrant in the Rivers of America series details the mighty waterway that flows between Oregon and Washington states and empties into the Pacific ocean. It was named after the first ship to come in over the bar in 1792, commanded by Captain Robert Gray. $30.00 10. [Hotels] Hutchings, Allis Miller. The Monkey Book. Riverside, California: Mission Inn, 1946. 6" x 4.5". 79pp. Beige, red and brown paper covered boards. Fine condition. A humorous book by the proprietors of the legendary southern California hotel. With anecdotes about the hotel, funny stories about guests and customers of the inn, etc. The hotel is still in business 132 years after it was founded by Frank Miller. $45.00 11. [Humor] Barton, Ralph. Science In Rhyme Without Reason. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1924. First edition. 7.75" x 5.5". 147pp. Corners and spine tips a bit rubbed, the spine has a couple small chips. An attractive copy. The illustrated paper covered boards show a colorful wrap - around drawing by Barton of a huge Rube Goldberg - esque contraption that is designed to light a cigar stuck in the mouth of a Daddy Warbucks sort of character.

Hattendorf was awarded a Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree from the University of Oxford, England. The degree is considered above the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). It is issued on the basis of high achievement in the respective field or a long record of research and publication to candidates whose record of published work and research shows conspicuous ability and originality and constitutes a distinguished and sustained achievement. The Naval Order has been invited to honor our Historian General, Professor John Hattendorf, on his impending retirement from the Naval War College by subscribing to a book Strategy and the Sea published by Boydell & Brewer. For those of us who are new to the publishing world’s terminology, the word “festschrift” is a volume of learned articles and essays contributed to an edited work by the colleagues and admirers of a scholar, generally as a tribute upon retirement. A “tabula gratulatoria” is a page in that volume that contains the names of people who have contributed either by writing a chapter of the volume, or by helping fund the effort. Each commandery can have its name printed in the tabula by subscribing to the book. Individuals in the commandery can also have their names printed by purchasing their own copy of the book. This book would make a lovely gift for speakers or commandery raffles. John B. Hattendorf is the Ernest J.

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Updated October 29, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. Section 1749 of the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (S. 1790/P.L. 116-92 of December 20, 2019) prohibits the Secretary of Defense, in naming a new ship (or other asset) or renaming an existing ship (or other asset), from giving the asset a name that refers to, or includes a term referring to, the Confederate States of America, including any name referring to a person who served or held leadership within the Confederacy, or a Confederate battlefield victory. The provision also states that “nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a Secretary concerned to initiate a review of previously named assets.” Section 1749 of the House-reported FY2021 NDAA (H.R. 6395) would prohibit the public display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense (DOD) property, including naval vessels.

ROOSEVELT President of the United States THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 28, 1944. To The American Legion: The Annual Convention of The American Legion—held this year in the midst of a global war— will arouse vivid memories of the part which Legion members were playing in the September days of 1918. In the present unhappy conflict which rends the world today—whether on our far-flung battle fronts, or in supporting the war effort on production lines, in bond sale campaigns, in the maintenance of morale or in the manifold activities which day by day hasten the hour of victory— the Legion is bearing its full part. In war and in peace, the experience, the energy, and the loyalty of members of the Legion are a national asset of incalculable value. Page 2 WARREN H. ATHERTON National Commander, The American Legion We meet in Chicago for the third time. We come here in 1944 with the largest membership and the greatest opportunity of service to God and Country in our history. The days of building for a better America and world are almost here.

  • Denver Health 2008 Annual Report
    Denver Health 2008 Annual Report A Hero in Our Midst At 99 years of age, most people have stopped traveling and tend to keep close to home. But not Congressional Medal of Honor recipient John William Finn, who spent the better part of September in Denver, at Denver Health. Finn was in Denver participating in the annual National Medal of Honor Winners Conference when he became ill and was transported via a Denver Health ambulance to the Emergency Department. Finn was suffering from shortness of breath and a cough – which may not seem severe, but when you are looking forward to your 100th birthday, is cause for concern. Finn received a hero’s welcome at Denver Health. Denver Police stood guard outside his hospital room, not because he was dangerous or wanted, but because he was the hero who stood in the middle of a concrete tarmac on December 7, 1941, shooting at Japanese Zeros as they attacked Pearl Harbor. Finn, a Navy Munitions Chief during World War II, is presumed to be the first Medal of Honor recipient of World War II and is the sole surviving member of this elite club from Pearl Harbor. His Medal of Honor nomination states that he shot down 20 Japanese planes while being shot five times. Finn was admitted as an inpatient at Denver Health and quickly befriended many of his caretakers. Sitting in his hospital room, Finn regaled the staff with recounts of his war stories. He also shared with staff the story of receiving his Medal of Honor from Admiral Chester Nimitz onboard the U.S.S.

Johnston, USMC First Edition January 1, 1965 Feb J fr5 5?» jftONMESftUliftft* MARINE CORPS HISTORICAL DEC 2 8 1966 ARCHIVES & LIBRARY "Marine helicopters buzzed overhead, church bells rang, and little children raced barefoot along country (1) roads shouting "Statehood; Statehood! It's cornel" Thus when Hawaii became the 50th of the United States on August 21, 1959, the activities of Marines were once again recorded in Hawaiian history. The Marine helicopters —the Birds of Mokapu—are but a page in a history that began eons ago —the history of Mokapu Peninsula. 1. Millions of years ago, a gigantic fissure appeared in the Pacific Ocean floor. At the same time the ocean floor began shifting levels intermittenly. Time and again islands appeared and disappeared with each heaving breath of the newly forming volcanic rift. In this manner a string of hundreds of islands stretching from Midway to Hawaii, the largest and south- ernmost of a chain know as the Hawaiian Islands, was formed. During this "First we're here, now we're not" forming stage, the island of Oahu upon which Mokapu Peninsula is located, appeared. Mokapu received its basic formation when volcanic eruptions of the southeast end of the Koolau mountain range produced many lava flows and much falling rock.
