Description
EDWARD ALLEN GOODWIN (unknown-1862). Goodwin was the Sergeant in Company K of the 23rd Regular Massachusetts Volunteers. This is the diary of Edward A. Goodwin Co. K 23rd Regt. M. of. M. This diary is THE AMERICAN UNION DIARY FOR 1862, an annual published diary accessible, and likely provided, to Union soldiers during the Civil War. After a few pages that include a calendar and interest tables, the diary provides space for each day of the year 1862. Goodwin wrote entries every day from January 1st to April 7th, and none thereafter. At the time, Goodwin was serving in the 23rd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, which was a part of the Coast Division under General Ambrose Burnside. Entries are handwritten in either pencil or black ink. Notable entries include: a)Friday 7: Naval engagementplace lasting from noon till sunset. Troops were landedin the afternoon and evening. Bivouacked on Roanoke Island in the rain. b) Saturday 8: Captured a rebel battery in a swamp. Took 3000 rebel provisions, and the whole island wasSergt. Howard hurt his foot. W.S. Clark missing. Both entries describe the Battle of Roanoke Island, fought February 7th and 8th, 1862. Part of General Ambrose Burnsides expedition to capture key ports in the Outer Banks, the battle first saw Union gunboats first firing on Confederate forts under the command of Henry Wise until Burnsides soldiers could land ashore unopposed. and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle, with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. The next day, the Union soldiers successfully flanked the Confederate artillery and infantry defenders on both sides, forcing a retreat into the Confederate forts. The forts were then individually taken, with the Union suffering only 264 casualties and capturing 2,500 Confederate defenders. c) Friday 14: Fought the battle of New Bern. Took over 100 pieces of artillery, ammunitioncamp equipment, &c. I arrived at night in the tents of the enemy. This entry describes the Battle of New Bern, fought on March 14th, 1862. After first advancing up the Trent River, General Burnside had his soldiers exploit the weakened center of the line of the defending Confederates under Lawrence O'B. Branch. This allowed the Union Navy to shell Fort Thompson, forcing its abandonment and, shortly thereafter, the city of New Bern too. 90 Union soldiers were killed, and 64 Confederates were killed and 413 were captured. d) Monday 31: Sick all day. Took horses.e) Monday 7: Saw Amoat the hospital. DeceasedRain in the afternoon. These two entries foreshadow Goodwins ultimate fate, including his last entry on April 7th, 1862. Goodwin would pass away in New Bern on April 16th. Having survived two major battles unscathed, at least according to his diary, Goodwin most likely succumbed to disease. It is estimated that 2/3 of Civil War soldiers who died during the war died of disease, not in battle. His body was ultimately returned to Massachusetts and is buried in Mansfield. The pages of the journal are in good condition, but the exterior of black leather is frayed and partially torn. It should be handled very delicately, but its value as a lens into the mindset of a Civil War soldier is immense.

First Edition, later issue, with U.S. copyright date of 1857 printed to foot of title. Göthel p. 222. "Regarded by many contemporaries as worthy of a place beside Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven in the pantheon of the greatest composers, he has, together with Gluck and Cherubini, been allotted a considerably lower status by posterity ... His own work looks, Janus-like, towards both the formalism and clarity of the Classical tradition, and the structural and harmonic experimentation associated with 19th-century Romanticism." Clive Brown in Grove Music Online.

San Francisco: Carl E. Jordan, 1972. 11½" x 8". Newsprint. pp. 15. Very good plus with a hint of toning at extremities. This is an issue of the short-lived San Francisco Forum which touted itself as "The Independent Community Newspaper" for San Francisco. Its premier issue contained a short history of how the paper came about, as well as its purpose: [i]"the idea of the FORUM was born amid reports of long continuing strife rampant within the bowels of other publications. In addition to the searing dissention [sic] within the management of our community newspapers there exists the counter-productive and egocentric mismanagement of the major social organizations within our community. As a result the public has been exposed to . . . biased reporting and the effective silencing of the distasteful truths. For any paper to publish but one side of any issue is equal to the total censorship of the other."[/i] The paper provided information relevant to the gay community, with regular features like sections devoted to reader mail, entertainment reviews, classifieds, advertisements for local businesses and a fair amount of activist/political reporting. An extensive directory provided a list of organizations and their telephone numbers for the gay switchboard, psychiatric help, free clinics, drug and legal help, and even draft help through organizations like Resistance SF, and legal groups. The sixth, and presumably last, issue of the San Francisco Forum. It includes an article on San Francisco's Imperial Court chapter, reports on recent S.I.R. Meetings, and an outstanding full page advertisement for a David Bowie concert. OCLC shows two entities with this issue.

New Haven: Yale University press, 1992. First edition. Square quarto (10-1/2"). 428pp. Triple column text. Index and bibliography. Photo illustrated dust jacket, spine lightly sun-faded, over purple cloth lettered in black. Illustrated throughout with photographs. Merest hint of shelf contact at bottom of text block, otherwise a fine, as new copy. Between 1909 and 1915 Eugene Atget produced seven albums [that were never published] filled with photographs of Paris at the height of its belle époque. This book presents Atget's albums in full for the first time, edited with the sequencing and repetition that the great photographer intended. In addition, Atget's pictures are analyzed in an altogether new way; as commercial picture documents produced by a photographer for the artists, archivists, antiquarians, designers, and builders who were his clients. Atget's Seven Albums is thus many books-a critical edition, a fresh view of Atget's work, a new kind of history of photography, and a social history of art and of Paris in the early twentieth century. (OCLC) "This brilliantly researched and argued book will shed a great deal of light on the history of photography...
