Title: United States Department of the Interior Annual Report, Division of Extension and Industry: Rosebud Jurisdiction, Rosebud Reservation and Yankton Sub Agency
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Rosebud, South Dakota: United States Department of the Interior, 1936. Very good. Large three-ring binder with mylar sleeves holding 307 leaves with text and photos on versos only. Pages hold 320 black and white photographs inserted into corner mounts, all of which have typescript captions and measure from 2½" x 3½" to 2¾" x 4½". Generally very good or better with toned leaves and near fine photographs. This is an enormous and comprehensive report on the Rosebud Reservation and Yankton Sub Agency as of 1936. It was issued during the Dust Bowl era when Rosebud suffered severe ecological and economic devastation, exacerbated by the failure of homesteaders' farming practices. Black blizzards, such as the 1934 storm in Gregory County, left land near the Rosebud Reservation barren and unproductive, forcing a re-evaluation of land usage in the area. This report fully documents the progress made during an extremely difficult time. In addition, this expansive report clearly documents the substantial changes resulting from the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, which instituted a number of reforms aimed at restoring tribal self-determination, and assisting Lakota, Sioux, and related tribes in reorganizing their own governments, due to grinding poverty, and impact of the Great Depression on spurring conflicts between older and younger generations. Largely due to the efforts of Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier, this resulted in clear changes to agricultural practices, elevated the younger generation into tribal leadership roles over their elders, despite the claims of cultural renewal through New Deal program efforts. The report contains 54 pages of narrative text. There are also 42 pages of completed forms and other data, as well as seven pages of clothing patterns. We learn from a two page summation of activities and accomplishments that the total income from livestock products totaled $45,240 and that "even though the farm crops were almost a total failure, 12017 tons of hay was put up during the year." We also learn from the summation that the reservations had 25 active 4-H Clubs and that "642,492 acres of Indian land was leased to whites for $74,246." Early in the narrative is a statement regarding general policies: "The extension program was launched this year with the idea of stimulating and assisting the Indian people to make greater efforts to care for and support themselves . . . Cooperation has been the keynote of the work with the Indian groups as well as in the relationship with other divisions of the government service, and in contact with outside organizations. Help has been given to churches, schools when requested and to other branches of the service. Federated Womens' Clubs have assisted on extension projects and the home extension agent has helped with club programs. All the above organizations and all branches of the Federal service represented at the Agency are working for better conditions among the Indians. More can be accomplished through cooperation, with sympathetic understanding of each other's program, than by each group working separately. All in all the extension workers aim is to 'Help the Indians to Help Themselves.' Progress can be reported in this respect. Training and use of Indian leaders as has been practiced on this jurisdiction, together with a return of weather normally, should greatly accelerate this progress." The photographs are exceptionally detailed and correspond to the narrative reports. They are laid out in the following 14 categories: horses, cattle, goats, poultry, hay, community buildings, wells, rehabilitation (of animals and dwellings), fairs and exhibits, gardens, arts and crafts, yard improvement, clothing and 4-H Club. Each section has numerous photos, all with detailed captions. These photos and instructions show 4-H members learning how to transplant crops, build irrigation ditches, and improve irrigation similar to the contemporary CCC projects, and also modernize farming methods to cope with the impacts of the 1930's dust bowl conditions. Approximately 150 photographs depict the native populace and many show buildings, dwellings and living conditions. Every aspect of local life and culture is shown in these photographs, which of particular interest include extended notes and photographs depicting the efforts for Native American women, such as the Bdiheca Woman's Club encouraging sewing, buying eye glasses, and engaged with WPA woodwork and clothing projects. W.J. Bradley reports on the 4H program that "this is the first project of this kind to be undertaken either Indian or White boys off a reservation. Every individual that worked in cooperation with the boys and myself realized that the project was in the beginning and they wanted it to be a success. Our motto was as follows: Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well." Massive, heavily detailed, and full of research opportunity. OCLC locates nothing similar.

Title: A body of divinitie, or the summe and substance of Christian religion … Whereunto is adjoyned a tract, intituled Immanuel, or the mystery of the incarnation of God …
Author: USSHER, Bishop
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Printed by M.F. [Miles Flesher], 1645. FIRST EDITION. Two separate titles, both within ruled border, table of contents and errata, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces. Contemporary calf, front cover a bit stained, interior generally excellent with minor browning. Inscriptions from 4 possible early hands on the first title, and though most are crossed-out, abbreviated, or illegible, the name “Griffith” can be read. A Latin phrase “servivir deo regnare est” in a contemporary hand also on the title page. Housed in a clamshell box. First edition, rare on the market. A body of divinitie was published while Ussher was in residence in Wales. Essentially a Calivinist catechism, the book explains every major tenet of the religion. However, he basically claimed that he did not author this book. In a letter dated May 13, 1645, after the book was published, Ussher expressed his disapproval to the publisher, John Downame (Downham), describing A body of divinitie as “so imperfect a thing copied verbatim out of others, and in divers places dissonant from my own judgment, may not by any means be owned by me.” Despite Ussher’s disavowal of the text, numerous editions followed with the last printed in 1677. Ussher (1581-1656) was highly regarded in his day as a churchman and as a scholar. In 1625, he was appointed Archbishop of Armagh, the highest position in the Irish Anglican Church. He was also vice-chancellor of Trinity College, Dublin, and a member of King James’ Privy Council in Ireland. He opposed any concessions or graces given to the “papists” in his native Ireland preceding and during the English Civil War.

Title: Presentation Photo Album Showing the Facilities of Hiram Walker & Sons Whisky Distillery in Peoria, Illinois
Seller: Walkabout Books (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Very good. Flexible leather binder containing 29 black and white, 8" x 10" photographs inserted back-to-back in clear sleeves. Stamped in gilt on the cover with the name of the owner/recipient, James Stubbers, as well as the Hiram Walker name and logo. Each photo has a typed caption. Fine condition. Hiram Walker & Sons was founded in Windsor, Ontario, by American entrepreneur Hiram Walker, who focused on creating, branding, and marketing an uncommonly smooth and palatable whisky. His signature product, Hiram Walker's Club Whisky, proved extremely popular in both Canada and the United States, and by 1882 the company was offering 27 varieties of whisky. In 1889, after the U.S. Congress passed legislation requiring the country of origin to be shown on all labels, the brand was re-named Canadian Club. Today Hiram Walker is "one of the three largest distilleries in the world, exporting products to over 150 countries. Through growth and expansion, the company now consists of three Canadian distilleries and four American marketing subsidiaries, as well as a bottling facility, a glass company, and a distillery. It owns 11 Scottish distilling plants and has holdings in France, Mexico, Argentina, and Spain" (Source: referenceforbusiness website). This album, which dates from about 1950, offers an informative visual tour of the company's operations in Peoria, Illinois (described in a caption as the "World's largest and most modern beverage distillery") and emphasizes their focus on quality. The photographs show the on-site grain elevator, inspection of corn prior to acceptance, milling machines, pressure cookers ("retain desired volatile flavors of the grain"), yeast selection process, fermentation tanks, stills ("different stills are used in producing 13 base whiskies"), oak barrel assembly and charring process, blending tanks, filtration pads, percolator for creating flavoring extracts, research laboratories, and more. Several images show a group of sales executives who seem to be taking a tour, and in one they are doing taste tests on Canadian Club, as well as Hiram Walker vodka, gin, peppermint schnaaps, and creme de cacao. The recipient of this album, James Charles Stubbers (1929-2004) worked as a Hiram Walker sales executive before joining his father in Kennedy-Stubbers Distributing, a Missouri-based liquor wholesaler that maintained close ties to Hiram Walker & Sons. Stubbers may be one of the executives shown in the album, but we have not located a photograph of him for comparison.

Author: Enrique Yanez
Seller: Appledore Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good +
Description: Ediciones Mexicanas, 1951. Cloth. Very Good +/Very Good. The 1951 1st edition, in both Spanish and English. Solid and VG+ (light creasing running toward the inner hinges) in a bright, VG example of the uncommon pictorial dustjacket, with light chipping --and several small closed tears-- along the top-edges, and very mild soiling to the panels. Tall quarto, crisp black-and-white plates. Introduction by the architect Enrique Yanez. (From Yanez's Introduction: "The present book is the first of a series in which it is proposed to show various aspects of our contemporary architecture. Most of the illustrations in this work have been taken from the material selected by the National Institute for Fine Arts for the First Exhibition of Contemporary Mexican Architecture. Both the exhibition and this book have the same object, and are the result of a logical desire that a movement we believe deserving of recognition should be better known. The houses here represented fall within the period 1930-1950, two decades during which there seems to us to have evolved a truly Mexican architecture, modern and at the same time national.").

Notably, Vanity Fair established Thackeray's literary reputation in England and awarded him both fame and fortune. Indeed, as the Encyclopaedia Britannica praises, "the narrative skill, subtle characterization, and descriptive power make it one of the outstanding novels of its period.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.
