Habitantes todos de la Republica.-- Vuestros sacrificios en favor de la paz no seràn infructuosos; y yo espero, mediante el auxilio de la Divina Providencia, que no durarán mas tiempo...."

Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Wear, marginal damage, and some tearing to backing sheet; pages folded with some wrinkling; excellent.
Description: Spring Lake, Michigan, 1921. Twelve 8 ½ x 11 inch pages affixed to backing sheet. Wear, marginal damage, and some tearing to backing sheet; pages folded with some wrinkling; excellent.. Joos Verplanke (1844–1943) was born in Zeeland, The Netherlands, and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1849. They settled in Holland, Michigan, and besides his time serving in the Union Army, Verplanke would live in the Ottawa County area for the rest of his life. Offered here is a short memoir written by Verplanke for his children in 1921, when he was in his late 70s. The Verplanke family came to the US as part of the wave of immigration that followed the Dutch Reformed Church secession and the economic downturn in The Netherlands in the 1830s. Some Seceder church leaders, such as Albertus Van Raalte, felt that they were being religiously persecuted by the government and that staying in The Netherlands was religiously and economically untenable for their congregants.[1] By the mid-1840s, several Seceder ministers had formed emigration societies to help their parishioners leave for the US. As Verplanke puts it, “They went in order to live where they could be free in religious matters, as they had not been entirely free in the Netherlands during the thirties.” Joos Verplanke and his family left Biervliet, Zeeland, in 1849 to join the Dutch colony in what would become Holland, Michigan—but they and others in their party ran out of funds by Albany. The group was sent to “the Poor House”; many, including Verplanke’s mother and younger brother, died from cholera, and the group was forced to leave. Arriving in Grand Haven, Michigan, they were assisted by a farmer who had also immigrated from The Netherlands a few years prior. The farmer fed and housed the family and eventually raised funds for them to continue to Holland. In fact, this ethos was important to the Dutch immigrants; some Seceder emigration societies had provisions that money would be pooled so that the richer immigrants could help the poorer reach the colony.[1] The Verplankes arrived destitute in Holland. Joos Verplanke describes the colony: “Holland was a very new colony, practically in the woods, with a few stores, a few small houses. The Government land was taken up by these colonists. Rev. VanDerMeulen had settled in Zeeland. Rev. Ypma im Vriesland, Rev. Bolks in Overisel, and others in Graafscap; each in his colony. A few of the immigrants had money, but most had just enough to get them here. It was very hard for them in this wild, timbered country, so different from the cultivated and thickly settled Netherlands. None of them had ever handled an axe. [...] However encouraged by their ministers, they were determined to learn to use the axe and chop out a place where they could worship God as they wished, which they had not been allowed to do in the Netherlands some time before.” In 1862 Verplanke enlisted with the Union Army. He recalls training: “We were in Holland two weeks training. Had a jolly time, everyone was good to us. We could have anything we wanted. All the beer we wanted to, as there was no prohibition those days.” He recalls the unit fighting Morgan’s raiders at “Tip’s Bend” (Tebbs Bend, Kentucky), fighting in Knoxville, and with Sherman on his March to the Sea. He also recalls his short-lived desertion from the steamer Matanzas in Washington: “So crowded was the boat that there was no room to lie down, not even on the upper deck. I thought, if I can get off I will not go with this boat. I talked to a few of the boys, and they agreed with me. Just then the gang planks were hauled in, so we could not sneak off that way. I looked over, and noticed along the boat’s side the whale-fenders were hanging by ropes. We threw our knapsacks and slide [sic] down the ropes. [...] The next morning we went to headquarters and I told some kind of a story about getting left. [...] Though we had been booked as deserters, there was nothing more said of it. So we remembered only the fun we had out of what might have proved to be a very bad venture.” Verplanke mustered out in June of 1865. He became the town marshall in Holland and in 1876 successfully ran as a Democrat for Ottawa County Sheriff despite the county’s Republican lean. He ran again two years later as a Greenback. The Greenback Party was an agrarian anti-monopoly and pro- monetary and labor reform party, but Verplanke frames his running as a Greenback as a practical decision: “I knew if I accepted the Greenback nomination I was almost certain of victory. [...] I needed it badly as I had spent so much money in electioneering” for the previous election. Verplanke farmed in Crockery Township and then moved to Spring Lake, where he authored this document for the benefit of his nine living sons. Of interest to scholars of the Dutch settlement of Michigan following the Dutch Reformed Church split, and those immigrants’ participation in the Civil War and American political life. [1] Robert P.

Title: Autograph Letter Signed, USS Steamship Southampton, Port Praya [Cape Verde Island, off the coast of West Africa], February 21, 1846, to Lt. Commander Henry W. Morris, Commanding USS Southampton
Author: Tuckerman, J. Francis, Assistant Surgeon,
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: Quarto, one page, in good, clean and legible condition. 1846 US Navy Doctor's concern for the health of African Black sailors. "… I deem it my duty, most respectfully to suggest, that the exclusion of the Kroomen from that portion of the forehold which they have been accustomed to occupy, will probably be attended with serious consequences to their health, if by such arrangement they should be compelled to sleep on the upper deck. They are already suffering and complaining much of a temperature much lower than that to which they are habituated." "Kroomen" were Africans who served as sailors aboard American ships of the African Squadron – assigned to intercept vessels engaged in the illegal slave trade – both because of their local knowledge and to "relieve" the white American sailors from more "hazardous" duties. US Naval vessels were often anchored at a considerable distance from the African coast, so that white sailors could "avoid exposure to the heat of the day" and the "deleterious" night air. The Africans, in contrast were used to warmer evening temperatures, and as seen from this letter were being compelled to sleep on deck. There were a relatively small number of African-American sailors in the US Navy before the Civil War. African "roomen" were more commonly seen on US vessels in those waters. But such solicitous concern for their health must have been rarely heard from US Naval officers, so many of whom were from the slave states. Tuckerman was a 29-year-old Bostonian and Harvard graduate, married to a Saltonstall whose father was President of the Massachusetts Senate. Morris, a New Yorker in his 40s, was also from a distinguished family – grandson of the financier who signed the Declaration of Independence. Tuckerman later left the Navy; Morris remained to rise to the rank of Commodore during the Civil War, seeing combat in which his ship was shot from under him.

[modest wear along spine, tiny piece missing at bottom right corner of front cover, where there is also some additional diagonal creasing; general handling wear; binding/staples firm]. (DC Comics) Series (cartoon art) Gotta love the cover story and illustration of Superman getting his ass whupped by a scantily-clad young lady while a group of same cheer her on. "Great Krypton!" exclaims The Man of Steel, "I never dreamed it could happen! For the first time in my life, I've been beaten by a girl!" The lead story is "Clark Kent's Great Superman Hunt!", in which the mild-mannered reporter whose glasses fool EVERYONE wages a TV campaign to expose his own secret identity. (Why, you ask? No spoilers here!) Then we get "The Girl Who Was Mightier Than Superman!", in which Superman meets a mysterious woman who (he discovers) hails from the South Pacific island of Florena, which is populated by a race of super-babes, who (it turns out) originated from a distant planet called Matrion. The whole thing becomes a battle of wits as well as physical strength between Mr. S and the super-lady, who resorts to subterfuge in an attempt to force Superman to marry her so they can start a new super-race! (He is, of course, a confirmed bachelor if there ever was one, and manages to escape her devious clutches. Because she's only a girl, after all.) .

Description: New York: Osprey Publishing, 2008. 1st Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good. 7x0x9. Bryan, Tony. First printing. Edge wear. 2008 Soft Cover. 48 pp. First seen during the American Civil War and later appearing in the Franco-Prussian War and the Anglo-Boer Wars, the armored train came to prominence on the Eastern Front during World War I. It was also deployed during the Russian Civil War and the technology traveled east into the Chinese Civil War, and the subsequent war with Japan. It saw service on the Russian Front in World War II, but was increasingly sidelined by its vulnerability to air attack. Steven J Zaloga examines the origins and development of the armored train focusing equally on the technical detail and on the fascinating story of how armored trains were actually used in combat. This title will appeal to armor, military history and railroad enthusiasts alike.
