Good plus.
Description
Moscow, Tx, 1888. Good plus.. [23],331pp. Folio. Contemporary vellum boards. Front board coming detached from foot; loss from foot of spine; moderate wear to corners and edges. Final leaf detached, otherwise minimal internal wear. A detailed and long-running record of minutes for the Henderson Yoakum chapter of Freemasons, which covers well over thirty years of the group's history. This chapter was located in the small east Texas town of Moscow, south of Lufkin, whose population was 228 in 1880 according to the census. These entries document the formation of the chapter, record votes on members (with a count of white and black balls cast), bylaws, design of a chapter seal, announcements of deaths of members, foundation of a Masonic school in town, and much other chapter business. The book also includes proceedings of trials against members, including one on May 27, 1860, at which, "It was decided that accused was guilty of gross unmasonic conduct by 6 b[lac]k ball to three white." The entries are interrupted after the meeting on October 20, 1860, at which a committee was appointed, "To report on the propriety of withdrawing or seceding from the Grand Chapter of the United States." On August 19, 1865, after the close of the Civil War, the entries resume. An alphabetical index of subjects occupies the initial leaves. The namesake of the masonic chapter, Henderson King Yoakum, was a soldier, politician, and author, whose 1855 History of Texas was described by John Jenkins as, "The first scholarly history of Texas written after annexation." He was a close friend of Sam Houston, and a founding member of the chapter that adopted his named. Laid into this record book is a carbon copy of a letter to the son of Texas Governor William P. Hobby, remarking that his grandfather, Edwin Hobby, was a member of the Henderson Yoakum chapter, as well as three additional pieces of later Texas masonic ephemera. Also notable is the bookseller's label on the front pastedown, denoting that the blank book used to record these minutes was obtained from Henry Hinck, Bookseller & Stationer, Galveston, Tx. A fine document of masonic participation in rural Texas in the second half of the 19th century.

Very good.
Description
Guam, 1945. Very good.. Ninety-five black-and-white silver gelatin photographs, each 4 x 5 inches, over seventy with printed or manuscript captions in the margin or verso, eighteen captioned in the negative. Minor overall wear, slight fading to a few images, all removed from photo album, with paper remnants on verso, about ten images with slight corner loss or creases. A collection of original photographs showing Guam, local Chamorro people, and the Northern Mariana Islands in 1945. The images were likely taken by photographers serving in the American armed forces. Twenty-three photographs show villages and the environs of Guam. These include Merizo and environs (a farm, highway, and beach); Inarajan (St. Joseph’s Church and “native houses”); Umatac (a thatch house and Lamira Root Fountain, dedicated in 1933 and built by the principal of Umatac School, F. Q. Sanchez, alongside others); Agat and Asan, villages that were rebuilt with aid from the U.S. military, and a photograph of the sign for Agat School; a waterfall near Agana, the capital of Guam; and Talofofo Bay. Most notably, over forty photographs capture portraits of Chamorro people, including women in "hula costume," schoolchildren, families, a pair of siblings enjoying coconuts, and more, several of whom are identified in the captions ("Lourdes S. Torres," "Florence Flores -- 15 yrs," "Maria Garrido & brother," and others). Other photographs show scenes of children drawing water, women doing laundry, and locals swimming and bathing. Almost twenty photographs, captioned and dated in negative in May 1945, show the coastline and harbors of the Northern Mariana Islands, including Alamagan, the Maug Islands, Pagan, and Sarigan. One photo shows a native bird with webbed feet on the Maug Islands. Overall, an interesting and research-worthy collection of photographs showing Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands during the last months of World War II, with notable portraits of indigenous people.
