September 2018 New Acquisitions September 2018 New Acquisitions (Item 5) Fairbanks in the Aftermath of the Klondike Gold Rush, Only Two Other Copies Located 1. [Alaska]: ALASKA SOUVENIR HARMONIE FAIRBANKS, FEBRUARY 13, 1909 [wrapper title]. [Fairbanks, Ak. 1909]. [32]pp., profusely illustrated. Oblong octavo. Original printed wrappers, stapled. Wrappers lightly worn and soiled. One page with contemporary manuscript notes. Center bifolium loosening a bit from the sstaples. Very good. A rare visual tour of Fairbanks, Alaska, issued by the Harmonie Society, which was founded in Fairbanks in 1907 "for the purpose of fostering German language, song and good fellowship." The volume contains nearly two dozen illustrations from photographs of Fairbanks and surroundings, including mining scenes, images of prospectors, gold bricks from the Tanana District, the mining town of Dome City, scenes in town and in the wild, and an image of the fire that tore through Fairbanks on May 22, 1906. There are also a number of advertisements for local Fairbanks businesses of all sorts. Reaching out to the five hundred-odd German residents of Fairbanks, the Harmonie Society not only put on singing performances, but also planned to add literary events and a turnverein festival. This is the only copy appearing in Rare Book Hub auction records (having previously appeared in 2012), and the only copy I have found in the market. Not in Tourville or Wickersham. OCLC locates only a single copy, at the Alaska State Library, and there is also a copy at Yale. Rare. OCLC 271244608. $900 Rare Wyoming Brand Book 2. [Brand Book]: CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS AND BRAND DIRECTORY OF THE ALBANY COUNTY CATTLE AND HORSE GROWERS ASSOCIATION. Laramie: The Laramie Republican Company, 1912. 90,[i.e. 91]pp., including illustrations. Followed by [114] blank pages. Narrow 24mo. Original printed grey wrappers. Front and rear wrappers torn at outer corners, front wrapper also with tears in lower edge and foredge. Very clean and neat internally. Overall, very good. In a folding cloth clamshell box, gilt leather spine label. Apparently the only edition of this scarce brand book for Wyoming's Albany County Cattle and Horse Growers Association. The constitution and by-laws comprise the first seven pages of text, followed by scores of illustrations of cattle and horse brands for Wyoming ranchers. The ranch names are given, as is the location of their range - still a touchy subject among Wyoming cattlemen twenty years after the Johnson County War. More than one hundred blank pages follow the main text, presumably meant for notes or illustrations by a contemporary owner. OCLC locates three copies, at the Univ. of Wyoming, Princeton, and the Univ. of Arizona. The record for the copy at Wyoming notes ninety-four pages, the other three apparently containing "corrected and additional information" pasted into the book. The present copy is the only one that I have found in the market. OCLC 81365312, 9847001. $1,250 A Woman’s Narrative of Her Childhood in Western Kansas, With Two Letters from the Author Laid In 3. Bryson, Nettie Korb: PRAIRIE DAYS [with:] [TWO AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, SIGNED, FROM NETTIE KORB BRYSON LAID IN]. Los Angeles: Times Mirror, [1939]. [10],171,[4]pp., plus portrait and ten plates. [3]pp. autograph letters, signed, laid in. Mid-twentieth century red morocco, ruled in gilt, spine gilt, raised bands, gilt inner dentelles, t.e.g. Previous owner's signature and ink stamp on a front fly leaf. Fine. Signed by Nettie Korb Bryson on the verso of the frontispiece. The two autograph letters, signed, from Nettie Bryson are dated in October, 1940, and were written to the collector Carl Melugin, the original owner of this copy, and the person who had it bound in red morocco. In the letter of October 4 she writes in response to Melugin's inquiry about the contents of the book (misspellings corrected): "It is a small out line of early days in Kansas, and my family & others pioneering there in 1870, and some experiences buffalo hunting etc. etc....Thank you for your interest. Most all libraries and colleges, as well as historic societies have ordered copies. Do hope you decide you too must own one." She also mentions that the book has "good large print on good paper, cloth bound, and easy to read if one likes history & adventure," and that it costs one dollar per copy, but cheaper by the dozen. In the second letter, dated October 13, she thanks Melugin for his order, wonders where he heard about the book, and informs him that she will send his copy along shortly. Clearly, evidence that Mrs. Bryson not only financed the publication of the book, but also provided fulfillment services and some measure of publicity as well. The text tells the story of Nettie Korb Bryson's family, her German-immigrant father and Scotch-Irish mother who met and married in Iowa, the beginnings of their family there and eventual move to Bull City (now Alton), Kansas in 1870. Includes information on their involvement in the Seventh Day Adventist faith, encounters with local Indian tribes, buffalo hunts, the Grasshopper Plague of 1874, and life as homesteaders in small prairie settlements. An engaging memoir of nineteenth-century life on the Kansas plains, handsomely bound and with two letters from the author laid in. $275 Rare Guide to the Philippines by an American Woman 4. Burkholder, Seddie L.: A DAY IN MANILA. Manila: Times Press, [1924]. xiv,71,xv-xxviii pp. 12mo. Original pictorial stiff wrappers and green cloth backstrip. Contemporary ownership signature and address on front free endpaper. Binding slightly stressed at two interior points, else fine. A rare guide to Manila in the 1920s, written and published by an enterprising American woman who knew the city and the Philippines well. Seddie Laura Burkholder also wrote and self-published A DAY IN CANTON in 1907, and later studies of the shells and flowers of the Philippines. Burkholder lived in Manila for more than two decades, and in the present work she provides a thorough guide to the city and the surrounding country. Directed toward tourists, she recounts the history of Manila and the old city, and describes churches, the aquarium, marketplaces, museums, Chinatown, parks, and cockfights. She also gives information on venturing to the outskirts of Manila and to surrounding towns and villages. More than two dozen pages of advertisements give a very good glimpse into the commercial life of Manila some twenty-five years after the American conquest. No copies of this guide to Manila are recorded in OCLC. $250 Iconic Image of a Gold Hunter on His Way to California 5. [California Gold Rush]: THE INDEPENDENT GOLD HUNTER ON HIS WAY TO CALIFORNIA. I NEITHER BORROW NOR LEND. New York & Hartford: Kelloggs & Comstock, [ca. 1849-1852]. Hand-colored lithograph, 14 x 10 inches. Neat repairs on verso to the lower margin and upper corners of the sheet. Minor marginal soiling on the recto. Near fine. (See illustration on front page) An iconic image of the California Gold Rush, showing a well-dressed and well-equipped argonaut, just setting off on the overland journey to the gold fields of California. The "independent gold hunter" is shown walking across the prairie, some 350 miles west of St. Louis and 1700 miles from California. His clothes are clean, and his hair and beard are neatly trimmed. He wears a frock coat, knee-high black leather boots, and a large kettle for a hat. In a lower coat pocket are several knives and a pistol, and in an upper pocket is a flask. He smokes a cigarette, carries a small suitcase in his left hand, and his right hand holds a long stick on top of his right shoulder. From the stick hang sausages, small fish, and a tea kettle. Also seen dangling from him are the tools of his future trade: a gold mining pan, a shovel, and scales. This copy is beautifully colored in muted tones of blue, green, grey, and tan. This lithograph was issued by two different publishers: Kelloggs & Comstock of Hartford (with D. Needham of Buffalo listed as co-publisher), and by the famed firm of Currier & Ives of New York. The Currier & Ives issue is likely the first; either issue is quite scarce. Not in Vail's GOLD FEVER, though he does list several Gold Rush prints, nor was a copy featured in the 1999 Huntington Library exhibit, "Land of Golden Dreams." A copy of the present issue sold at auction earlier in 2018 for $3900, and before that Rare Book Hub lists no copies at auction since the sale of prints from the stock of Edward Eberstadt & Sons in 1967. OCLC locates only a single copy of this issue, at the American Antiquarian Society. There are also copies at the California State Library, the Beinecke Library, the Oakland Museum of California, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. PETERS, CALIFORNIA ON STONE, p.140 & plate 69. FINLAY, PICTURING VICTORIAN AMERICA, 434. OCLC 191117340. $2,650 San Franciscans Celebrate the Fourth of July 6. [California Pictorial Letter Sheet]: VIEW OF THE PLAZA OF SAN-FRANCISCO, ON THE 4th OF JULY 1851. [San Francisco]: Publ. & Lith. by Justh Quirot & Co., [1851]. Pictorial letter sheet, 9 x 11¼ inches on green wove paper. Light edgewear, with a few small chips. Half-inch tear with no paper loss intruding into the upper part of the image, small chip out of upper left corner. Very good overall. "A splendid, teeming scene of San Franciscans patriotically painting the town red during their first celebration of Independence Day after attaining statehood. Several firefighting companies are shown with their engines" - Clifford catalogue.

  • The Preservation Evolution a Review of Preservation Literature, 1999–2001
    47(2) LRTS 59 The Preservation Evolution A Review of Preservation Literature, 1999–2001 JeanAnn Croft The literature representing 1999 to 2001 reveals that the preservation field is absorbed in an evolution. The literature demonstrates that trusted practices are changing to improve outcomes and further advance the preservation field. Simultaneously, in the wake of the digital revolution, preservation professionals dream about merging traditional and digital technologies in the hope that both long-term preservation and enhanced access will be achieved. This article attempts to relate the values of the discipline in order to inspire further research and persuade more work in formulating hypotheses to integrate preservation the- ory and practice. Finally, this overview of the literature will communicate the scope of the preservation problem, clarify misconceptions in the field, and docu- ment areas that warrant further investigation and refinement. he literature representing 1999 to 2001 reveals that the preservation field is Tcontinually absorbed in an evolution. This literature review examines the trends and customs of the preservation field as documented in the literature, and attempts to relate the values of the discipline in order to inspire further research and persuade more work in formulating hypotheses to integrate preservation theory and practice. Finally, this depiction of the literature will communicate the scope of the preservation problem, clarify misconceptions in the field, and document areas that warrant further investigation and refinement.

  • Mount Whitney Via the East Face Trip Notes
    Mount Whitney via The East Face Trip Notes 2.18 Mount Whitney via the East Face This is the classic route up the highest peak in the lower forty eight states. The 2000 foot-high face was first as- cended by the powerful team of Robert Underhill, Norman Clyde, Jules Eichorn and Glen Dawson on August 16, 1931. These were the finest climbers of the time; their ascent time of three and a quarter hours is rarely equalled by modern climbers with their tight rock shoes and the latest in climbing hardware. Dawson returned to make the sec- ond ascent of the route and in 1934 Eichorn pioneered the airy Tower Traverse that all current day climbers utilize. Clyde became legendary in the Sierra for both his unequaled number of Sierra first ascents and the size of the packs he carried. Underhill later remarked that on the approach to the East Face Clyde’s pack was “an especially pictur- esque enormity of skyscraper architecture.” Times have changed but the East Face remains a great climb. While only rated 5.6 do not underestimate it! You will be at over 14,000 feet carrying a small pack with the essentials for the day, and ascending about 12 pitches of continuous climbing. Itinerary Day One: The Approach. Starting at the 8,640 foot Whitney Portal we hike Whitney Trail for less than a mile before heading up the steep North Fork of Lone Pine Creek. The trail here is non-maintained and rough with creek crossings and rocks to scramble up and over.

Today, the treatment is employed for strengthening weakened paper. Two German conservation centers are chiefly responsible for the development of the process to its current level of sophistication: over the course of more than 30 years, Günter Müller at the Thuringian University and State Library at Jena perfected manual paper splitting; over the same time period, Wolfgang Wächter, now at the Zentrum für Bucherhaltung in Leipzig, developed the paper- splitting machine. We outline the history of paper splitting and describe the contemporary processes from firsthand observations and interviews with the conservators at Jena and Leipzig. Technical evaluations of contemporary paper splitting are summarized, and some observations on objects that were split for the authors are documented (a 19th-century newspaper page, a 17th-century document written in iron gall ink, 17th-century book leaves).

  • Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

  • Caring for Collections, a Manual of Preventative Conservation Has Been Produced
    December 1999 1 FOREWORDS As part of its strategic plan 1997-2000 the Heritage Council identified the need to produce high quality information on aspects of heritage and also the need to assist people in improving their skills to care for and maintain our heritage. The Heritage Council is delighted that through partnership with the Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in Ireland, this publication, Caring for Collections, a Manual of Preventative Conservation has been produced. Written and researched by Susan Corr, this publication aims to inform the general reader of the basic concepts of collection care and good housekeeping. We hope that it will enable people to plan the long-term future of their collections in an informed way, within the resources available to them. The book will also play a key role in the continuing establishment of museum standards in Ireland. The Heritage Council would like to thank Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in Ireland, and Susan Corr for the help in creating this publication, which should become a vital aid in the care of our heritage. Michael Ryan Chairperson Museums and Archives Committee December 1999 Since 1992, the Institute For The Conservation Of Historic And Artistic Works In Ireland has organised “Caring for Collections” courses annually. In 1999, an extra one was held, funded by the Heritage Council, which was very successful. Because they appreciate that they are ultimately responsible for the artefacts in their collections, museum staff want training in this area. However the Institute does not have the resources to expand the course, either in terms of treating each topic in greater detail, or enlarging the syllabus.

The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths.

Altman Submitted to the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on February 13, 2015 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science ABSTRACT The International Relations literature has an established view of interstate crises that explains how states pursue victory in terms of signaling resolve. States make gains with credible coercive threats (compellence). In contrast, this dissertation conceives of each crisis as a strategic competition between a challenger seeking to make gains unilaterally by fait accompli and its adversary’s countervailing efforts to set red lines to deter these faits accomplis. After clarifying the neglected concepts of “red line” and “fait accompli,” the dissertation takes up two questions the literature has left unexplored: When are faits accomplis likely to occur? When are they likely to lead to war? The result is a theory of coercive conflict explaining why deterrent red lines that contain any of four weaknesses – types of gray areas, in essence – are especially vulnerable to faits accomplis.
