Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Bastogne: The First Eight Days is one of S. L. A. Marshall's most tightly focused battlefield studies - a concise, ground-level reconstruction of the opening phase of the siege of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. It was produced for the Fighting Forces Series to give office…rs and enlisted men a clear, practical understanding of how American units fought under extreme pressure. The narrative follows the 101st Airborne Division, attached artillery, tank destroyer units, engineers, and scattered elements of other formations as they rushed into Bastogne to block the German breakthrough. Marshall traces the action from 18-26 December 1944, when the town was encircled and subjected to continuous attack, artillery fire, and psychological strain. A few core themes define the study: The defense succeeded not because of perfect planning but because small groups of soldiers repeatedly made quick, disciplined decisions under chaos. Coordination between infantry and artillery, especially the ability to mass fires rapidly, proved decisive in stopping German armor. Leadership at the platoon and company level mattered as much as high-level strategy; Marshall highlights how junior officers and NCOs stabilized collapsing lines and improvised defenses. The German assault forces, though powerful, were slowed by terrain, weather, and their own logistical limits, giving the Americans just enough time to hold. The arrival of clear weather and the opening of supply drops helped sustain the defenders until relief forces broke through. The book is not a sweeping history; it's a tactical autopsy, built from interviews conducted immediately after the battle. Marshall's goal was to show how real soldiers behaved in the first, most uncertain days of the siege - before Bastogne became legend. The book is loaded with charts, maps, photos, illustrations and paintings. THIS copy belonged to Richard F. Connell, in Quantico, VA in 1954, possibly a student or faculty member.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 82 pages with a folding map of the rivers showing the level of fall and a litho engraved frontispiece, original gilt embossed cloth bevelled edges, a little minor foxing to the folds on the reverse of the map, a little wear to the front hinge where the paper has cracked at the gutter… both minor issues for age of the book, otherwise and very good+ copy of this scarce travel/exploration book. Octavo. 1873. *NOTES: The falls were noticed by Europeans in 1870 by a party led by Charles Barrington Brown, a British geologist appointed as a government surveyor to the colony of British Guiana. He did not have time to investigate Kaieteur Falls closely, so he returned one year later to make comprehensive measurements. Brown's book Canoe and Camp life in British Guiana was published in 1876. Two years later, in 1878, he published Fifteen Thousand Miles on the Amazon and its tributaries. The book here pre-dates Brown's work and seems a forgotten little title and work. Only this one edition recorded. There was a George Daniel Webber who was made Lt-Colonel in 1872 in the same regiment? Worth a little more research perhaps? This above name as listed was taken from the BL copy, but a strange coincidence.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Size: Print inside mount 42 x 26.5 cm. Condition: Print has a crease in it - please see image. Otherwise in very good condition, full margins and platemark, mount new. This print is from the first edition account of Captain Cook's Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, published in 1784. This… was Cook's third voyage, starting in 1776, and the one in which he met his death in 1779. John Webber was the artist who accompanied Cook and his crew, and his drawings were subsequently engraved for the publication. Webber, only 27 years old at the time, went on to become a well known painter and fellow of the Royal Academy, but today is known mainly for his association with Cook and especially his painting of Cook's death and its many engraved versions. One principal purpose of Cook's voyage was to find the elusive North-West passage, which Cook failed to do. In the attempt he visited Kamchakta (in Russia), which is where Webber drew this scene. The print is on laid paper consistent with the date of 1784.

Size: Frame 35 x 44 cm, print image 18 x 22.5 cm Condition: Print in very good condition, mount new and good used frame This print is a first edition issue from the account of Captain Cook's Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, published in 1784. This was Cook's third voyage, starting in 17…76, and the one in which he met his death in 1779. John Webber was the artist who accompanied Cook and his crew, and his drawings were subsequently engraved for the publication. Webber, only 27 years old at the time, went on to become a well known painter and fellow of the Royal Academy, but today is known mainly for his association with Cook and especially his painting of Cook's death and its many engraved versions. One principal purpose of Cook's voyage was to find the elusive North-West passage, which Cook failed to do, but this is why he found himself in 1778 in Prince William Sound, one of the first explorers to visit it. It fact it was only named Prince William Sound in that year. Webber's drawings were the first to bring to Westerners' eyes the feature of the people of that area. This print was engraved by James Basire, a very famous engraver of the period who had worked for Hogarth among others. The hand colour is later - the print was originally published without colour. The paper is laid paper of the period, and we are happy to guarantee that it is a first edition print. There are other issues of this print which are later and generally inferior.
