Title: ECHOES FROM THE SABINE FARM
Author: (BINDINGS - CLUB BINDERY). FIELD, EUGENE and ROSWELL M.
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: New Rochelle: Francis Wilson, 1891. FIRST EDITION. ONE OF 70 COPIES (from a total edition of 100) printed on handmade paper and signed by the publisher on limitation page. This copy unnumbered. 228 x 160 mm. (9 x 6 3/8"). 149, [3] pp. LOVELY GREEN MOROCCO, GILT, BY THE CLUB BINDERY (stamp-signed in gilt on rear turn-in), covers elaborately decorated with gilt-rolled border, scrolling vines, and many floral tools surrounding a central purple morocco onlaid oval with the image of a jester stamped in gilt, raised bands, compartments densely gilt, gilt lettering, turn-ins with gilt scrolling pattern, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. With original upper cover and backstrip bound in at rear. Housed in a (somewhat worn) suede-lined marbled slipcase with morocco lip. With engraved title page printed in red and black, and each poem illustrated with a headpiece and a decorative initial in red and black. With publisher's ex-libris tipped onto an inserted blank; flyleaf inscribed by the publisher to John Caldwell and dated 7 February 1895; WITH AN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT POEM WRITTEN AND SIGNED BY EUGENE FIELD dated 21 October 1895 bound in at front; colophon signed John Wilson & Son. Spine slightly and evenly darkened, the usual offsetting from leather turn-ins onto endpapers, a negligible imperfection or two elsewhere, but IN VERY FINE CONDITION, the gorgeous binding unworn and with especially lustrous covers. This special copy of Eugene Field's classically inspired poetry--finely bound and enhanced with autograph material--would have undoubtedly delighted Field himself, who, as the Poetry Foundation notes, "treasured beautiful books and had a library lined with rare and unusual volumes." Although Field (1850-95) is perhaps best known for his humorous newspaper columns and children's poetry, the present work, co-written with his brother Roswell, contains modern interpretations of the first century Roman poet Horace. This first edition was printed in a very small run by Francis Wilson (better known as the first president of the Actor's Equity Association), and the present example--a presentation copy from Wilson to Board Chairman of the Carnegie Art Galleries and Grolier Club member John Caldwell--was augmented in several special ways: it contains an original autograph poem by Field (a feature called for only in the 30 copies on Japanese vellum), the publisher’s bookplate (bearing the image of a jester reading a book), and a beautiful bespoke binding (incorporating the same jester image into the cover design) by the Club Bindery. In 1895, Grolier members, along with Edwin Holden and other wealthy collectors, established the Club Bindery in order to attract European craftsmen to provide, close to home, fine quality binding work rivalling what was available abroad. The bindery was in operation until 1909, with Robert Hoe being its most influential manager and client. It provided bindings that tended to be traditional in style--though frequently with elaborate decoration--and that lived up to its patrons' expectations in terms of excellence. The first members of the staff of the Club Bindery were the Englishmen R. W. Smith and Frank Mansell, who were subsequently joined by several French binders, chief among them being Leon Maillard, who had worked previously for Cuzin, Gruel, and Marius Michel. Although there are no other bookplates in the present work (besides that of the publisher, as noted), we know that this volume was later in the collection of another Grolier club member, David Allen Fraser (1911-2003). A history of esteemed custodianship explains why this volume remains in outstanding condition..

Title: Guarding the Overland Trails: The Eleventh Ohio Cavalry in the Civil War
Author: Jones, Robert Huhn
Seller: Tschanz Rare Books (United States)
Description: Spokane, WA: The Arthur H. Clark Company, 2005. First Edition. 367pp. Octavo [24 cm] Blue cloth with the title gilt stamped on the front board and the backstrip. Near fine. Frontier Military Series XXIV (24). The Civil War left the western trails vulnerable and dangerous. Emigrants still streamed westward and demanded protection. The mail still had to be delivered, the telegraph protected. The newly minted states of California and Oregon on the Pacific Coast were precious to the government in Washington, D.C., and the Mormon settlements in the Great Basin demanded close attention following the Utah War of 1858. The 11th Ohio played a crucial role during the Civil War years on the overland roads. The first battalion sent to Fort Laramie in 1862 had not volunteered to serve out west, though those recruited in 1863 and 1864 knew they were destined for western duty. They were among the last volunteers raised from any state during the Civil War to be discharged in July 1866. The thunder of the greater war drowned out the violent and deadly war in the West along the overland roads. And it has continued to do so. While both the Civil War and nineteenth-century western history have provided fertile fields for historical investigation, few historians have focused on the plight of the overland roads during the Civil War or the impact of the war on the area they crossed. The 11th Ohio had enlisted to fight Confederates. Instead they fought Native Americans, escorted emigrants and mail, and operated, rebuilt, and restrung the telegraph. They built and rebuilt tiny stations and other posts along the roads, died in combat, and froze to death in winter storms. For the most part, these Ohioans were strung out along the roads in small detachments, seldom in company strength, and the regiment never served or fought as one. The Platte River and Overland roads, truly the primary lines of communication between the settled parts of the Union east of the Missouri River and the newer states on the Pacific Coast, were guarded by the 11th Ohio from the Missouri River to just west of the Continental Divide. Fights at Sand Creek and Platte Bridge affected the troops, directly and indirectly, and play an important part in their story. The Civil War was a time of increased conflict between settlers, emigrants, and the native peoples east of the Rockies. Arapahos, Bannocks, Cheyenne, Comanches, Kiowas, and Sioux all figure prominently in the story.
