Title: Archive of 8 Congressional Civil War Date Resolutions from the Secretary of War offering granular insight into the logistical, fiscal, and human dimensions of the Union war apparatus 1961-1965
Author: Civil War Secretary of War
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1861. Archive of eight Civil War-date Congressional documents relating to the administration, financing, and logistical management of the Union war effort. Octavo pamphlets, 9.75" x 5.75", 1861-1864. The group comprises eight separately issued documents totaling 22 pages, each printed for Congressional distribution and addressing discrete military or legislative concerns arising from the conflict. The documents collectively illuminate the bureaucratic machinery sustaining the Union Army at the height of the war. Subjects include the transportation of troops, the recruitment of new enlistees to replenish depleted regiments, and the armament of fortifications-issues central to the rapid expansion of federal military infrastructure. Several items address the human cost of the war, including provisions for pensions to the widows of deceased chaplains and soldiers, underscoring the government's evolving responsibility toward military families. One document contains a detailed table listing the names, ranks, and compensation of aides-de-camp, including captains, lieutenant colonels, and majors, offering a rare printed accounting of mid-level command structure and remuneration during wartime mobilization. Other reports reveal the intersection of military necessity and civil administration: a resolution of the legislature of Maine critiques the inadequacies of the railroad route between New York and Washington-an infrastructural weakness with direct implications for troop movement and national security-while a transcription from the Paymaster General petitions Congress for increased salaries for the clerical staff of his bureau, reflecting the administrative strain placed upon federal departments by the scale of the conflict. A seven-page pamphlet transmitting a Senate resolution concerning gun contracts further documents the contentious procurement processes that defined wartime industrial expansion and federal contracting. Very good overall, with minor edge wear and light handling consistent with issued Congressional pamphlets. A cohesive and research-rich grouping of Civil War-era government documents, offering granular insight into the logistical, fiscal, and human dimensions of the Union war apparatus at a moment of unprecedented national crisis.

Title: M-G-M: Hollywood's Greatest Backlot
Author: Bingen, Steven, Stephen X. Sylvester, and Michael Troyan
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
ISBN: 9781595800558
Condition: Near Fine in Near Fine dj
Description: Solana Beach CA: Santa Monica Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.2011). First Edition. Hardcover. 1595800557 . [nice copy, only blemish to book is a faint stain on the bottom edge of the text block (the sort of thing you'd never have noticed if I hadn't pointed it out); the jacket shows just a touch of handling wear]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) A different sort of movie-studio history, focusing not on the corporate history or even the films as such, but specifically "an illustrated history of the soundstages and outdoor sets where Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced many of the world's most famous films." A delight to browse through, the book makes the point vividly that the old Hollywood studios -- and M-G-M was the grandest of them all -- were virtually self-contained cities. It contains hundreds of photos of the major (and minor) buildings on the lot, shots of the standing sets (both in use and, occasionally, in forlorn and even derelict condition), interiors of departments, maps of the lot, etc. -- and while there are plenty of "production" shots (and glimpses of numerous movie stars), there's nary a "movie still" to be found. The emphasis throughout is very much on the physical plant, and on any given page you're much more likely to find yourself looking at a shot of the inside of the film laboratory, or the barber shop/newsstand, than of actors or actresses at work. Especially interesting is the appendix, "Films Shot on the Backlot," which lists hundred of films, categorized by the sets or streets utilized in their production -- "Small Town Railroad Depot," 47 productions; "Copperfield Street," 10 productions; "Esther Williams Pool," 40 productions; etc. Honestly, this book is SO much more interesting than those coffee-table studio histories ("The MGM Story," "The Paramount Story," etc.), which mostly consist of a long paragraph about each film and a (usually) tiny and uninteresting still. ***NOTE: Additional shipping charges for this heavy book may apply for non-U.S. customers, or for Priority Mail shipping within the U.S.; if this causes you concern, please inquire before placing your order.*** .
