TRADE PAPERBACK. Condition: Used; Very Good. First Edition. Used; Very Good. Nurturing Faith Inc. 2018 Paperback SIGNED Book Condition: Very Good. Signed by H. Harold Brown here in our store. I have named the writings My Son: To Whom It May Concern, and I suppose this to be a short resume of my life, but much more it is the Americana of some 80 years in which I have lived. I am 87 years of age, and the writings span time from the 1930s to the present. Those who have read my writings tell me I write somewhat like I verbalize the stories. I have also included some of my stories and a few reprints from a newspaper column I had during the 1960s. They were carried only by my hometown newspaper, The Malakoff News. What you will read are my life experiences, recalled from an old memory with the proviso that for some there is no one left to verify or contradict, except where I have noted otherwise. . 2018.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Limitierte Ausgabe. Z : 208 Seiten, Leineneinband, Fadenheftung, Nummeriert (7/300) und signiert von Bernard Tagwerker - In to whom it may concern verarbeitet Tagwerker Textfragmente von Autorinnen und Autoren, die für ihn und seine Arbeit von besonderer Bedeutung sind. In einem ersten Schritt transferierte er die Textfragmente in Zahlensysteme, um sie dann im Buch zusammenzuführen. Der erste Text ist von Seite 9 bis Seite 200 gedruckt. Der zweite Text beginnt auf Seite 25 und überdruckt die Seiten 25 bis 200. Dieses Prinzip des Überdruckens wird konsequent bis zum zwölften Text durchgehalten, sodass sich das Buch zum Ende immer mehr verdichtet. Der Effekt, der durch den zwölffachen Überdruck und die dadurch resultierenden Mischfarben entsteht, unterliegt dem Zufallsprinzip und kann weder vorausgesehen noch gesteuert werden. Doch auch wenn der Künstler nach dem Zufallsprinzip arbeitet, überlässt er bei der Ausarbeitung seiner Konzepte nichts dem Zufall.

Snodgrass praises the magazine: The New York Quarterly which has just resumed publication and contains, "almost none of the sludge one finds in many magazines." Snodgrass won the Pulitzer Prize in 1960 for his poetry collection: Heartrs Needle (1959). W. D. Snodgrass was born on January 5, 1926 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Snodgrass's first poems appeared in 1951, and throughout the 1950s he published in some of the most prestigious magazines: Botteghe Oscure, Partisan Review, The New Yorker, The Paris Review and The Hudson Review. However, in 1957, five sections from a sequence entitled 'Heart's Needle' were included in Hall, Pack and Simpson's anthology, New Poets of England and America, By the time Heart's Needle was published, in 1959, Snodgrass had already won The Hudson Review Fellowship in Poetry and an Ingram Merrill Foundation Poetry Prize.

Govt. Print. Office, May 15, 1861. 8½ x 11 inches. Vignette of the American eagle. Paper losses, primarily confined to margins, although at places affecting one printed word and one handwritten word; usual folds; fair condition. The 1862-dated discharge paper for Edwin A. Collins (b.1819), a forty-three year-old shoemaker-turned-musician and native of Salem County, New Jersey. Collins was one of eleven musicians, all privates, who comprised the band for the 5th New Jersey Volunteers. The band was directed by Harry G. Frankenfield. Frankenfield had founded the Salem [New Jersey] Cornet Band (1860) and by October of 1861 he had raised the Regiment's band in Trenton. The musical ensemble mustered out in August of 1862. (John Hayward) Collins's discharge is autographed by Samuel Henry "Old Paddy" Starr, seen here as a Colonel of the 5th Regiment. Starr was a vulgar and highly-volatile old-guard dragoon. A strict disciplinarian, he was known among his subordinates as "Old Nose Bag." If a soldier transgressed, Starr had the offender tied and straddled to a fence with his face strapped into a horse's nose bag. (Faded Hoofbeats Samuel H. "Old Paddy" Starr 6th US Cavalry online) Collins was mustered out at Harrison Landing, Virginia, "Given at Camp near Alexandria", Virginia by Lieutenant S. Lee Perkins (and autographed by Perkins) and he is described as having light complexion, black eyes and black hair. On the verso of Collins's discharge it is recorded that received $40.66 in pay on October 31, 1862. Details of Collins's civilian life, before and after the War, have eluded us. We do not find him recorded in state or federal census records.

Printed broadside, 7 7/8 x 8 1/4 inches, docketed on the verso "No. 3 / Filed 19th March / 1804." Early Kentucky land broadside voiding a land transaction involving Robert Patterson and John Cockey Owings. "A printed notice from Greer, signed in print, voiding an unauthorized conveyance of a certain settlement right in the Lexington area by Robert Patterson to John Cockey Owings, which right Greer had previously sold to Thomas Prather, deceased" (Filson online). Only eight items in Jillson's "Rare Kentucky Books" predate this handbill, Pownell's "Topographical Description" (London 1776), Hutchins' "Topographical Description" (London 1778), Filson's "Discovery" (Wilmington, 1784), a piece on the Ohio River and Kentucky in 1784 by Crevecoeur published in a Louisville journal in 1879, Fitzroy's "Discovery" (London, 1786), Filson's "Adventures" (Norwich, CT, 1786), Bradford's "Kentucky Gazette'"(Lexington, 1787), Filson's "Adventures" published in the "American Museum" (Philadelphia, 1787), and Bradford's "Kentucky Almanac," the first pamphlet published west of the Alleghenies (Lexington, 1788, but no copy known). Not in Evans, Bristol, or Shipton & Mooney. OCLC locates one copy (Filson Historical Society). Untrimmed but with the lower portion torn away, taking the lower portion of the date. Still a remarkable survival for this rare 18th-century Kentucky related handbill. Folded. (9868). We have not been able to determine whether this handbill was printed in Kentucky (the Bradfords began publishing their "Kentucke Gazette" in Lexington in 1787), but all of the principals alive at the time of the printing were located in the Lexington area; in any case, it is an early printed record of the Lexington settlers and land transactions during its foundation (the earliest item in McMurtrie's "Bibliography of Eighteenth Century Kentucky Broadsides" was printed in 1792). Robert Patterson (1753-1827), who commanded local militia during the Revolution, and James Greer were among the small number of original settlers in Lexington in 1779, moving there from Fort Harrod to establish a more northerly fort. John Cockey Owings (1736-1810) made significant purchases of land in Bourbon and Bath Counties, Kentucky (both just east of Lexington; Owingsville is the county seat of Bath County), in the 1780s, establishing an iron smelting business in the latter county. Thomas V. Prather (1751-1786) had also lived in the settlement around Ft. Harrod before his death.
