Description
2 vols. 8vo modern half morocco & marbled boards, spine ruled in gilt, raised bands morocco lettering pieces, new endpapers. Illustrated with 16 folding views, plans and maps; xix [1], 427; viii, 376 pp. Minor aging and some darkening to a few pages, and some foxing to one plate. Near fine condition. Weld an Irishman came to America in 1795 when he was nineteen. This work narrates his travels through the former colonies along the eastern seaboard and the Canadian provinces. Very popular at the time it was published Weld comments on the population and social habits and customs of the people he saw. According to Howes, Weld seemed to prefer Canada to the States. Compared to the similar works of this period Weld seems to be fairly objective on most things. However, whether or not his observation that Americans lose their teeth prematurely is accurate would be hard to substantiate. Contains several interesting views of Niagara Falls, Mt. Vernon, Bethlehem, PA, and a large map of the northern portion of the United States, with inset of the southern States.

[Washington]: Government Printing Office, 1968. First edition. Maps (some folding), charts and diagrams, photographs, Index laid in at the back. 1 vols. 4to. Original blue cloth gilt. Some light soiling of cloth, warping of volume and light marginal browning of text, else a very good copy of this work. First edition. Maps (some folding), charts and diagrams, photographs, Index laid in at the back. 1 vols. 4to. INSCRIBED BY WILLIAM WESTMORELAND TO HEDLEY DONOVAN, former editor-in-chief of Time Inc. "To Hedley Donovan-With reminiscence of our pleasant association. W. C. Westmoreland. March 1969." In his position as Editor in Chief of Time Inc. Donovan had made four trips to Vietnam to see firsthand the people and places being covered by his correspondents and to get a feel for the situation. He met with Westmoreland in Vietnam in late 1965-early 1966 and probably on his subsequent trips. Westmoreland was the Time Magazine Man of the Year for 1965. Partly reading, "As commander of all U.S. forces in South Viet Nam, General William Childs Westmoreland, 51, directed the historic buildup, drew up the battle plans and infused the 190,000 men under him with his own idealistic view of U.S. aims and responsibilities. He was the sinewy personification of the American fighting man in 1965 who, through the monsoon mud of nameless hamlets, amidst the swirling sand of seagirt enclaves, atop the jungled mountains of the Annamese Cordillera, served as the instrument of U.S. policy, quietly enduring the terror and discomfort of a conflict that was not yet a war, on a battlefield that was all no man's land.

Description
1960. Bridge construction photo archive depicting the crews, equipment, and labor required to build a small road bridge during the postwar expansion of American highway and local road networks. The photographs likely document the 1960s to early 1970s, when pre-stressed concrete beams had become common in bridge work and heavy trucking allowed long prefabricated members to be delivered directly to job sites. In the 1960s, bridge construction relied much more on manual surveying, paper plans, and workers doing dangerous tasks directly on-site. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which gave the federal government authority to enforce workplace safety standards was not revised until the 1990s. The photos show a different industry standard for safety enforcement on job sites compared to contemporary labor safety codes. The archive shows drilling foundations, preparing abutments, hauling girders, positioning cranes, and lowering long concrete beams into place over a creek or river crossing. Photo archive of 20 silver gelatin photographs, 3.5 x 4 inches, United States, circa 1960s-1970s. Workers stand beside cranes, tracked equipment, tractor-trailers, and long prestressed concrete beams at a rural or suburban bridge site. Trucks marked "Yost Construction Inc." haul bridge members through town and onto the work site, while a drilling rig marked "Rotary Drilling" and "water systems and service" operates near the roadbed. Several scenes show cranes lifting or preparing to lift girders, crews guiding beams by hand, concrete supports rising from the water, and the bridge span taking shape between tree-lined banks. A man is seen walking across the beam laid for the bridge in its early stages, without strapping, harnessing, or today's standards of safety. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 accelerated road building across the United States, and state and county bridge replacement projects followed the same demand for stronger crossings, heavier vehicle loads, and faster construction methods. This archive records the practical labor behind that expansion rather than finished civic architecture, with attention on machines, crew placement, contractor trucks, and the sequence of bridge assembly. Light handling wear and minor curling; overall in very good condition.

Creased at folds; light soiling and wear; ink occasionally smeared, but legible; small stain to upper portion of first folio; minor foxing to second folio. - 1 page. Octavo. N.d. In black ink.

The letters generally concern social engagements, but in the third Capoul also mentions that he will depart for a new 6-month tour of America. An "eloquent lyric" tenor, Victor Capoul made "his début with the Opéra-Comique in 1861 as Daniel (Adam's Le chalet). Engaged by J. H. Mapleson in London, he appeared first in Faust at Drury Lane in 1871. He made his Covent Garden début as Fra Diavolo in 1877. His roles there included Almaviva, Ernesto, Elvino, and Paul in Massé's Paul et Virginie, which he had created in Paris (1876). In the USA he made his début at the Academy of Music, New York, in 1871, and appeared in the opening season at the Metropolitan in 1883-4 as Wilhelm Meister and Alfredo; there he had to renounce the title role in Roméo et Juliette, in which he excelled, to Jean de Reszke and play Tybalt instead. Back in Paris he became director of the Opéra, lost his fortune through speculation and died in poverty." Elizabeth Forbes and J.B. Steane in Grove Music Online.
