Description
2 volumes. (8vo) original green cloth, spines lettered in gilt, 464, 535 pp. Light wear, bookplates on pastedowns, normal aging; otherwise very good. Translated from the original German manuscript by Eugene F. Bliss. The author David Zeisberger (1721-1808) was born in Moravia and immigrated to British North America in the late 1730s. He joined the Church of the Unity of the Brethren, known as the Moravian Church. He settled near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and became a missionary to various Native American groups in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. As a missionary, Zeisberger emphasized how Christianity could be beneficial to the natives. However, his work often led to the end of the traditional ways of life of the American Indian converts. He had considerable success with the Indians in Eastern Ohio, but many Native Americans found the necessary changes to their lifestyle unacceptable. Zeisberger was someone who enjoyed the outdoors and sports, but more importantly he developed a good command of Native American languages. These two volumes chronicle Zeisberger's life and travels among the Indians. The diary covers the period between 1781-1798, and he discusses many tribes, including the Delawares, Iroquois, Shawanese, Chippewas, and Potawatomies. He describes travels to the Western United States (what was western at the time) a journey to Detroit, and another journey to the Huron River. Howes Z5. Ohio history central website.

Description
1932. London: Faber & Faber, (1932). Original light blue paper-covered boards lettered in red, with dust jacket. First Edition, which consisted of 4100 copies. There was no American edition. Eliot later wrote, as a note in an anthology of one-act plays, The author wishes to point out that SWEENEY AGONISTES is not a one-act play and was never designed as such. It consists of two fragments. But as the author has abandoned any intention of completing them, these two fragmentary scenes have frequently been produced as a one-act play. This copy is from the first issue, in light blue (and not blue-green) boards. The volume is in clean, fine condition; the unclipped jacket is close to fine as well (one tiny chip, the merest hint of soil). Gallup A23.

Description
quarto, one page, formerly folded, hole punches along to edge of sheet, else very good. 1913 West Virginia Gubernatorial candidate accused of aiding Black saloon and brothel owner. Letter by Wallace, the lawyer for J.H. Long, a Progressive Party newspaper editor, about the Republican Governor of West Virginia offering to his drop law suits against Democrat and Progressive opponents who had published an election campaign allegation (unstated in the letter) that he had bestowed political favors on Negro proprietor of a saloon and brothel. Newly elected Republican Governor Henry Hatfield, a physician as well as a prominent member of the family involved in the violent Hatfield-McCoy feud, had won election in 1912 despite the national Democratic sweep of President Woodrow Wilson and the bitter Republican Party split with Theodore Roosevelt's Progressives. Focused on a tumultuous coal workers strike which he denounced as union "anarchy", Hatfield wanted to sweep under the carpet an election expose published in a Progressive newspaper alleging that a trusted "lieutenant" of his political machine was the "protected" Negro proprietor of a saloon and a house of prostitution, a "vile den of iniquity" where white women were "for sale" to Negro men, the profits benefiting Hatfield's campaign. The victorious Hatfield had originally retaliated by suing both Long and Democratic chairman Walker for defamation. This letter by Long's lawyer suggested that if Walker and Long would state publicly that they had not intended to thus "blacken" Hatfield's "character" by their campaign allegations, the Governor would agree to "let all the [law] suits be dropped." To sweeten the deal, Wallace, himself a prominent Democrat, mentioned that "About two months ago I was in Washington and had some business with the Attorney General. During a conversation with him your name was mentioned in connection with the District Attorney place for the Northern District. I took great pleasure in telling you were a good fellow…" Accordingly, one month later, President Wilson appointed Stuart Walker to that federal position, which he held for the next eight years.

ABOUT SUPER FAKE LOVE SONG: When Sunny Dae--self-proclaimed total nerd--meets Cirrus Soh, he can't believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny's older brother Gray's bedroom--with its electric guitars and rock posters--for Sunny's own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he's the front man of a rock band. Before he knows it, Sunny is knee-deep in the lie: He ropes his best friends into his scheme, begging them to form a fake band with him, and starts wearing Gray's rock-and-roll castoffs. But no way can he trick this amazing girl into thinking he's cool, right? Just when Sunny is about to come clean, Cirrus asks to see them play sometime. Gulp. Now there's only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it.
