Description
Sitka, Ak: August 1, 1894. Very good plus.. 5pp. Original mailing folds. A historically-illuminating eyewitness account of the burning of Baranof Castle, the famous fort built in the New Archangel (Sitka) by the first governor of Russian America, Alexander Baranov. During Russian rule, the castle was the administrative center of Russian America. Baranof Castle was the site for both the formal ceremony of the sale of Alaska to the United States and the hoisting of the first American flag in Alaska. The building was continually reconstructed throughout its tenure and fully renovated in 1893. On the night of March 17, 1894, the castle caught fire and burned to the ground, apparently due to the ignition of oily rags stored there. At the time of the fire, the building was used as the office and residence of the U.S. Court Commissioner Robert C. Rogers. Much later, in 1962, the site where the castle once stood was declared a National Historic Landmark. The author of the present letter, Julia E. Haley was the only daughter of Nicholas Haley, a Sitka pioneer, notable miner, and important early landowner with several claims close to Sitka Bay. Born, raised, and ultimately buried in Sitka, Julia Haley owned and operated the well-known curiosity shop the "Old Indian Trading Post" on Lincoln Street in Sitka in the first two decades of the 20th century. Her store offered a variety of local products and artifacts, some of which purportedly came from the ashes of Baranof Castle, though Haley's account of the fire seems to refute any possibility of relics being found in the ashes. Here, Haley writes to a friend identified only as "Miss Young," a schoolteacher in San Francisco. In her letter, Haley provides a detailed account of the Baranof Castle fire, notes the troubles people have in getting to Sitka due to "much trouble on the railroads," and briefly describes a ball given by local ladies in honor of the Bering Sea Fleet ("That is the U.S. Navy ships in harbour - Yorktown, Mohican, Albatross, Ranger, Hassler, Corwin, Adams, Bear, Rush, Pinta, and H.M. Ship Pheasant & Areal"). Haley's description of the fire reads as follows: "I suppose you have heard about the Baranof Castle. It was burnt to the ground. Not even could we have a chip in remembrance. Of it nothing could be saved. It was impossible. Judge Rogers was in the building at the time & it took all they could do to get him out. He was at the windows for 8 hours crying for help. But no one heard him. Every one was asleep. He lost everything. Nothing saved, only a long coat he had on. And his poor little dog was in the attic & no one could get near him. It was a beautiful building after it as nearly repaired. So you may tell your friends that the Baranof Castle at Sitka is no more. The ground it stood on is all there. The building after being repaired was going to be occupied by the officials & we miss the view so much. It was a very pretty fire. I wished you could have seen it. The flag pole was the very last to burn. They took several views of it which looks so much like it. Every one felth [sic] so sorry. All the ladies watched it from one in the morning until four." A unique account of one woman's experiences in far-flung Alaska in the last decade of the 19th century, with a particularly noteworthy eyewitness account of the last moments of Baranof Castle.

Description
Paris: Chez le Jay, 1786. Second edition, two parts in one. 12mo, pp xx, 244, [4], 264 pp, with with four engraved plates after designs by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin. Fine copy in a later full-calf binding with red spine label. Jean Bernard Bossu was a French naturalist who traveled widely in the then-vast territory of Louisiana during several trips made between 1751 and 1772. According to Howgego (B138), "Bossu went out to Louisiana in 1850 as a captain of the marines, and from 1751 was stationed in the Illinois country where he was adopted by the Quapaw Indians. He returned to France for health reasons in 1757, and in 1758 sailed for Mobile, where he was befriended by the Alibamu Indians. The second journey was made in 1758-62, and the last in 1771-72. His journeys included a number of trips into the interior, during which he made a study of [several tribes of] Indians. Bossu's Nouveaux Voyages aux Indes Occidentales appeared in three editions, each enlarged to take account of this latest travels. His second narrative, published in 1768, comprises a series of twenty-one letters...describing his life in the travels in Louisiana country from 1751-1762." Streeter (1518): "Bossu wrote well and his letters not only give an interesting picture of life and travels in the Mississippi Valley and the Mobile country to the east at the beginning of the second half of the eighteenth century, but incorporated also are many sketches of events of the preceding years. Bossu came to New Orleans only thirty-three years or so after its founding and only eighty years after La Salle's journey down the Mississippi, and first and second hand recollections were still fresh." Sabin 6465; Howes B-626; Field pp 38-39; Graff 361; Hubach p. 13.

Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1868. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 7 x 4 1/2; pp. [8]; 9-130, [2]; embossed, pebbled green cloth over boards with title in gilt; illustrated with ornate initials at the beginning- and small vignettes at the end of each chapter; generally mild wear - a few minor spots to cloth and the first few leaves; minor creasing and wear to tips of spine; in very good condition. According to Cody P. Miller's "The Farmer's Family Must Find Compensation in Something Less Tangible, Less Material’: Culture and Agriculture in Maine and New England, 1870-1905” - after the end of the Civil War American agriculture changed dramatically, with New England and in particular Maine being no exception. More and more farmers and agricultural reformers pushed for abandoning small, mixed husbandry farming in favor of commercializing the system and treating agriculture as a business, rather than as a "way of living." Though such a novel movement was, by far, not universally accepted, many did embrace it and much of the rural debate "about progress, commerce, and capitalism" would begin to revolve around the idea of “fancy farming,” a system which required large amounts of capital deployed to increase the size of the farm and the margin of profit. One fervent proponent of that system was George Beckett of Belfast, Maine - a wealthy farmer and author of the current book. Arguably, one of the first ones to write on the subject (with a chapter on "Fancy Farmers"), Brackett also dedicated chapters on haying, apple trees and insects, parasiting plants, pigs and pultry, butter making, etc. OCLC lists one physical copy at the American Antiquarian Society; none in the trade; not appearing at auction, since 1886.

Description
Vintage original 28 x 20" (71 x 51 cm.) poster, folded, near fine. Featuring Robey live performing "Last Night in Bangkok" from the Broadway musical Chess.Poster from the famous New York gay disco The Saint. The club opened September 30, 1980, and closed in 1988; however, it continued on through a variety of pop-up events which went on and continued into this century. Most of the posters from this period were created during the era of the AIDS crisis."The Saint was technically and creatively one of the best dance clubs of its era. The circular dance floor at 5,000 sq. ft (460 sq. m) was topped by a perforated planetarium dome 76 ft (23 m) in diameter and 38 ft (12 m) high. In addition to hiding the speakers, the dome served as a spectacular palette for the lighting effects, with a mirrored disco ball lowered into the space. The speaker cabinets were located on, and attached directly to, the outer surface of the dome, creating a very euphonic 'surround sound' effect. The sound system in the club consisted of 500 speakers generating 26,000 watts. In the center of the dance floor was a circular light tree constructed on a hydraulic lift. It contained 1,500 lights and as its centerpiece was a rotating, dual Spitz Space System hemisphere star projector, ten times brighter than those used in planetariums."Directly underneath the dance-floor level was a large lounge with several juice bars. Beer on tap was sometimes served for free to avoid the licensing oversight of the New York State Liquor Authority. Above and outside the dome was what would become the controversial balcony, where patrons could see down to the dance floor, through the scrim of the dome. It was there that men relaxed and, according to the sexual mores of the times, could indulge in sexual activities. Several times during the year, themed parties such as the Black Party and the White Party attracted celebrities from around the world. These Saint parties are considered by most disco historians to be the precursors to the circuit party."The nightclub was a success even before it opened. Membership packs with floor plans were distributed and before the club opened, 2,500 memberships had been sold at $150 each for the first 700 members and for $250 for the rest, with a waiting list established."It was financed in large part by owner Bruce Mailman's other gay venture, the nearby New St. Marks Baths -- a gay mecca at the time. The nightclub's renovation cost $4.5 million, being $2 million over budget ($17 million at 2017 prices). Money was spent repairing the roof, paying six years of back taxes to the city and fitting out the interior. It opened initially as a private membership gay nightclub (returning the idea of a club to 'nightclub'), and set the standard for disco presentation, lighting, sound system, hydraulics and technical support."However, by the end of its second season, AIDS had begun eating through the fabric of gay life in New York City and began to take a heavy and relentless toll on the Saint's membership. Change came quickly: membership costs were lowered and the season extended into the summer so that the club was open almost all year round. By its seventh season, membership costs had fallen to $50. It also opened weekly for a straight crowd. Furthermore, by 1985, the Black Party performers were for the first time required to perform safe sex. By 1987, the performance emphasized masturbation, phone sex and mud wrestling, all a far cry from the club's early days which, on one celebrated occasion, a boa constrictor was used as a prop."
