Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The story of early post-World War II Jaguar key fobs, forgotten for more than a half century, seemed wrapped in an impenetrable mist and was only recently exposed by a dedicated researcher and Jaguar enthusiast. Bud Marston's book reveals the story of the origins and heritage of more than three hundred splendid motoring talismans from Jaguar's storied past. During the period covered, Jaguar Cars Ltd produced 350,000 cars, and most of their proud owners almost certainly acquired beautifully-crafted key fobs tailored to the Jaguar marque. But fewer than a thousand of these artifacts appear to have survived, and no living individual has seen more than a fraction of them. Marston determined to assemble a collection of these old jewels and record his research and observations before their stories vanished with the passage of time. Creatively presented with color and monochrome photographs, Vintage Jaguar Keyrings is an original work of major interest to the motoring connoisseur.…

Soft cover. Condition: Good Clean Cond. No Dust Jacket. 50 pages. Reprint ; Paper / Soft cover reprint edition in very good or better condition, slight wear to edges. Overall good copy of this scarce title. Excellent read. A good book to enjoy and keep on hand. Or would make a great gift for the fan / reader in your life. About the author: Early in 1820 Connecticut geographer Jedediah Morse (1761-1826), who had already been asked by two missionary societies to investigate conditions among American Indians, secured funding from the U.S. Secretary of War to visit and observe various tribes on the border. Morse not only traveled as far west as modern-day Detroit and Green Bay but also sent a list of questions to missionaries, army officers, traders, government agents, and other people with personal connections in Indian communities. Morse folded all this together in a report to the Secretary of War submitted in November 1821. One of his informants was Major Morrill Marston, who was in charge of Fort Armstrong at the mouth of the Rock River near Davenport, Iowa. Born in New Hampshire or Massachusetts, Marston was made a lieutenant in 1812 and commissioned major in 1814 for "gallant conduct" at Fort Erie during the War of 1812. He migrated west to Fort Armstrong on the Mississippi soon after it was built in 1816-1817. A few months after submitting the document given here he was moved to dilapidated Fort Edwards, near Keokuk, Iowa, and in 1824 was dismissed from the army for reasons unknown. A local historian in 1880 ascribed his dismissal to alcoholism, a conjecture given credence by the fact that Marston drowned in a drainage ditch near his home in 1831. Excerpt from first page: Letter of Major Marston to Reverend Doctor Morse : Fort Armstrong, November, 1820. Sir, Your letter dated : Mackinaw, June 20, 1820, requesting me to give you the names of the Indian tribes around me within as large a circle as my information can be extended with convenience and accuracy - the extent of the territories they respectively occupy, with the nature of their soil & climate - their mode of life, customs, laws & political institutions, - the talents & character of their chiefs & other principal & influential men, and their disposition in respect to the introduction & promotion among them, of education & civilisation; what improvements in the present system of Indian trade could in my opinion be made, which would render this commercial intercourse with them more conducive to the promotion of peace between them & us, & contribute more efficiently to the improvement of their moral condition; together with a number of particular questions to be put to the Indians for their answers or to be otherwise answered according to circumstances, came to hand in due time & would have been answered immediately, had it been in my power to have done so as fully as I wished.
