Washington: Carnegie Institution of Washington. Good. 1927. First Edition. Softcover. Carnegie Institution of Washington Publication No. 338, Vol. II, Papers of the Department of Historical Research, J. Franklin Jameson, editor. Xvi, 564 pages, wrappers, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the preface: The second volume of this series begins with the reign of William and Mary and ends with the last Parliament of William, which continued in existence through the first four months of the rule of Queen Anne. For this brief span of fourteen years, materials falling within the scope of the work as stated in the preface to Volume I are more extensive than for the period of nearly one hundred and fifty years embraced by that volume. This increase is due not only to the prolonged and repeated consideration given by either or both Houses to particular matters, but also to the growing interference of Parliament in colonial affairs, which brought before it a greater variety of overseas questions.

New Bedford: Simon and Schuster. Very Good in Poor dust jacket. 1981. Hardcover. 0671226118 . Introduction by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. 319 pages, 8 plates, map, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. From the dust jacket: "In the winter of 1975, Joanna Stratton made a remarkable discovery. In the attic of her grandmother's home in Kansas, buried among old toys, trunks, and fading antiques, was a set of priceless autobiographical manuscripts written by hundreds of pioneer women. The memoirs had been commissioned and collected by Ms. Stratton's great-grandmother, Lilla Day Monroe, a prominent 19th century suffragist, lawyer, and publisher, who intended to edit them into a book. Now three generation later, Ms. Stratton has rescued these extraordinary accounts from obscurity to finish her great-grandmother's project. Never has there been such a detailed record of women's courage or such a living portrait of the women who civilized the frontier. Replete with drama, here are stories of wilderness mothers, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit riders. Their personal recollections of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy shoot-outs, Indian raids, and blizzards on the plains portray vividly the dangers and excitement of pioneering. And their intimate remembrances of day-to-day life reveal the special heroism and industriousness of the pioneer woman as never before. " M391; 319 pages . more information

Most of the cannon barrels are now mounted on replica iron carriages to better weather the ravages of time. Nevertheless, these cannons that once spoke with fury are the last relics on the exact site where the death and destruction occurred during the years 1861 to 1865." BWC4 . more information

Volume III only (volume number indicated only on spine). 403 pages, dark blue cloth, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the introduction: These instructions from the British Foreign Office to the British ministers to the United States cover the twenty-two years from 1791 to 1812, a momentous period in the history of both countries, when neutral America as well as belligerent Britain was buffeted by storms unleashed by the French Revolution. They set forth the official policy towards America of the foreign country that stood foremost among the nations in her power either to accelerate or to retard the progress of the young republic, as Jefferson Clay, and other Americans repeatedly said. Unfortunately, the earliest period of Anglo-American diplomacy, in sharp contrast with the most recent period, was marked and marred by unfriendly relations. Diplomats labored in, and sometimes accentuated, an atmosphere of suspicions and misunderstandings and conflicting views. Common bonds between Great Britain and her former colonies were loosened rather than tightened, and both peoples traveled the road leading to what Americans called their Second War for Independence. The value of the instructions to Britain's envoys during this period is readily apparent. During the twenty-two years covered by these instructions Great Britain was represented by six ministers, one special envoy, and three charges d'affaires." . more information
