Title: Na Rannikh Poezdakh. Novye Stikhotvoreniia (On Early Trains. New Poems) [Limited to 3000 copies]
Author: Pasternak, Boris
Seller: ZH BOOKS (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Moskva: Sovetskii Pisatel, 1943. Soft cover. Near Fine. First edition, 12mo 4 1/2" x 6"; pp. 3-50, [2] index; original printed wraps; minor wear to covers with a few small faint spots; near fine. Pasternak wrote his collection of poems 'On Early Trains' at a time, when Socialist realism as a cultural model was becoming more and more constricting, thus forcing the author to abandon his natural avant-garde style and resort to, in his own words, a "shoemaker" type of poetry. The poems in this collection were written between 1935-1941. The publication was allowed as a form of propaganda, showcasing the ability of the Soviet literary authorities to "rehabilitate an outrageous and bourgeois writer." Succumbing to the demands of the government did not mean Pasternak liked these particular poems. In fact, in a letter to his friend - fellow writer Daniil Danin, he called 'On Early Trains' "a useless book.

Title: Henry Slocum Vows Not To Get Into Politics Only Months Before Running For Office
Author: HENRY SLOCUM
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: HENRY W. SLOCUM (1827-1894). Slocum was a Union Army General who saw action at First Manassas, Antietam and Chancellorsville, and then was a Representative from New York.LS. 3pgs. August 27, 1865. Headquarters, Department of Mississippi, Vicksburg. A letter signed H W Slocum as commander of the Department of the Mississippi in the early Reconstruction period. The letter primarily discusses Slocums unwillingness to get into politics soon after the Civil Wars end. My dear Sir Your favor of the 17 has just come to hand. I am sorry Jill was prevented from coming this way. Perhaps I shall take a trip to Selma next month. If so I will be able to get some information and will write you. I recd a letter last week from a friend in Syracuse proposing I should be a candidate for Sect of State & replied at once that I could not become a candidate for civil office while in my present position, and that I was under obligation to remain here for the present. I shall probably resign this fall, but do not wish to enter politics and present. I am ambitious, perhaps too much so, but am in no haste to accomplish my purpose. I can afford to wait. If it ever becomes necessary you can say in my behalf that I will not under any circumstances be a candidate for office this fall. I enclose an order which explains itself. I was a little excited when I wrote, as I considered Sharkeys action in the matter discourteous to me. I have been fair towards him and he should at least have consulted me before taking such an important step. I think the Government must sustain me, although Sharkey pretends to have private instructions from the Prest authorizing his actionsH W Slocum. Sharkey was provisional Governor of Mississippi William Sharkey, who attempted to establish a militia to deny blacks their newly-gained rights as citizens. Slocum stepped in to foil this effort. In terms of his stated intent not to enter politics, Slocum was not a man of his word, as he ran unsuccessfully for New York Secretary of State in the fall of 1865. He became a Congressman a few years later. The letter, on Department of Mississippi letterhead, is in fine condition with a small tear in the vertical fold.
