Description
24/03/1847. Acquired directly from the descendants and never before offered for sale Letters and documents of Polk from the Mexican War have become quite scarceLangdon C. Easton graduated at the U. S. Military Academy in 1838. He served in the Florida and Mexican wars, and during the Civil War. He was Chief Quartermaster of the Army of the Cumberland from December 1863, until May 1864, and of the armies commanded by Major General William T. Sherman from May 4, 1864, until the war’s end, being present during the operations of the campaign from Chattanooga to the taking of Atlanta, and subsequently at the capture of Savannah. On the march from the latter city to Goldsborough, NC, and thence to Washington, DC, via Raleigh and Richmond, General Easton acted in the same capacity. During the war he was brevetted major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and brigadier general, ""for distinguished and important service in the quartermaster's department in the campaign terminating in the capture of Atlanta, Georgia,"" and major general, March 13, 1865, ""for meritorious service during the war."" After the war he remained in the regular army, serving as quartermaster with the rank of colonel.Document signed, with an eagle, stars, flags and cannon, Washington, March 24, 1847, naming Easton assistant quartermaster general with the rank of captain, effective the third day of March, 1847. The document is countersigned by Secretary of War William Marcy. This was the very post Easton had wanted, as he had just the month before written a friend, “I shall be very disappointed if the war terminates without my having a hand in it. My best chance for advancement would be to obtain the appointment of Captain and Assistant Quartermaster"".Letters and documents of Polk from the Mexican War have become quite scarce, and those documents making interesting appointments even more so.

Description
New York: Self-published, 1978. Minor rubbing to spine of illustrated wrappers; near fine. Uncommon.. Artist's book. Duodecimo. One of two intertwined bookworks self-published by Louise Lawler in 1978; Black/White offers a loose adaptation of an unfilmed screenplay from Metro Pictures founder Janelle Reiring, dramatizing the 1917 execution of exotic dancer/alleged spy Mata Hari in France. For both publications, Lawler worked with the same conceit: printing two distinct prices for the edition to the versos of the front covers, with each copy having one of the two options circled; in this instance, the more expensive price is selected ($100.00, instead of $4.95).
