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...."

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.

Author: Zaloga, Steven J
Seller: Yesterday's Muse Books (United States)
ISBN: 9781846032424
Condition: Very Good
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.
