The novel (and its successful adaptation) catapulted Jones to fame, establishing him as a major postwar literary figure; he also published Some Came Running (1957), The Thin Red Line (1962), and several other novels and collections of short fiction.

Description
Washington, D.C., 1870. Good.. [4]pp. Small quarto. Chips and short closed tears at edges; leaves separated. Slightly later ink stamp and manuscript annotation on first leaf recto. Paper browned, somewhat brittle. Memorial presented by attorney Bethel Coopwood to the United States and Mexican Commission, describing Capt. James Callahan and the Texas Rangers' sacking and burning of Piedras Negras in October 1855, and specifically the losses of Margarito Teposte, who was seeking redress from the United States government. Callahan ostensibly crossed the border into Mexico in pursuit of a band of Apaches, but ended up attacking the local citizenry and destroying the Mexican border town. The Rangers then, "drove your memorialist from his home and compelled him to flee to the woods with all of his family, where he wandered for three days, exposed to death under the tomahawk of the barbarous Indians, who frequented said woods at that time, suffering from hunger and thirst in a degree almost insupportable, whereby they caused him great injury in his person and those of his family, damaging him in the full sum of twelve thousand five hundred dollars, gold." A chart on the final page shows additional damage claims, resulting in a grand total of $24,640 in damages sought by Coopwood for Teposte. We locate similar printed claims by Coopwood on behalf of several other Mexican plaintiffs, at SMU, Texas Tech, and Baylor, but no examples of the present claim.

Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1927. First edition. BIOGRAPHY OF PIONEERING BRITISH PROPONENT OF SOCIAL LIBERALISM AND ITS EVOLUTIONARY ROOTS. 14.5x21.5 cm hardcover, maroon cloth binding, gilt title to spine, inscribed and signed on front free endpaper, "To Al and Gill Collier: How pleasant to visit with people interested in Hobhouse! Many thanks for the ride home the other night./ Hugh Carter/ March 11- '75," i-viii, 137 pp. Light wear to cover edges and spine ends, light browning to pages. Very good in custom archival mylar cover. HUGH CARTER (1895-1988) earned his PhD (thesis is the text of this book) from Columbia University in 1927. At the time he was on faculty of the University of Pennsylvaina. LEONARD TRELAWNY HOBHOUSE (1864 - 1929) was a British liberal politician and sociologist, who has been considered one of the leading and earliest proponents of social liberalism. His works, alongside that of writers such as T.H. Green and John A. Hobson, occupy a seminal position within the canon of New Liberalism. He worked both as an academic and a journalist: in 1907 he shared, with Edward Westermarck, the distinction of being the first professor of sociology to be appointed at the University of London. He was also the first editor of the Sociological Review. His sister was Emily Hobhouse, the British welfare activist.
