(list of) contributors. endnotes. index. world history. african history. american history. african american history. slavery. maritime history. european history. ~ Published in conjunction with a traveling exhibition opening at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, these eight essays and 160 color illustrations examine the complex causes, outcomes, and legacies of the 400~year slave trade. Eleven to thirteen million Africans were forcibly transported across the Atlantic in ships, making this "captive passage" history's greatest maritime tragedy. This important book considers a number of different aspects of the slave trade: its social and economic basis, why many African leaders facilitated the slave trade, and how enslaved African Americans forged their own cultures and forever changed the Americas. The physical, social, and enduring emotional meaning of the Middle Passage is explored, as are the history and legacy of the abolitionist movement and the struggle for racial justice. The book features a wealth of material from the collections of the Mariners' Museum and artifacts from around the world brought together specifically for this exhibition. Included are rare engravings, published here for the first time, of slave forts along the west coast of Africa; a sailor's sea chest illustrated with slaving motifs; a Colombian postage stamp honoring Jesuit priest Fray Pedro Claver, known as the "apostle of the Negroes" for his kindness; and period images of the Amistad rebellion.

Octavo, burgundy cloth (hardcover), gilt letters and decoration to upper cover, top edge gilt, tissue-protected frontis., xxxii, 265 pp. Fine. From Publishers' Preface: For the first time an unpublished manuscript furnishes the subject matter. The manuscript is the memoir of Daniel Harmon Brush who, at the age of 8, migrated from New York state to southern Illinois in 1820. The memoir was apparently written during his old age for the younger members of the family and their descendants, and not for publication. There is no information as to how the manuscript drifted out of the possession of of Brush's descendants. All that is known is the statement of the dealer in rare books from whom it was purchased that it had been in their stock for the past dozen or more years. The manuscript is far too long for our format, and many deletions have been necessary. The method followed in deleting was to preserve all portions that told of the activities of Brush personally, and what influence he had upon the economic and cultural developments of southern Illinois. Starting from zero at the age of twelve, he became a prosperous business man, interested in public affairs. Today he would be known as one of our "leading citizens" -- leading in business ability, holding the confidence of the public, and leading in public undertakings to which he contributed generously in time and money. His story is not exciting, but it gives a good picture of how the enterprise and character of a pioneer were reflected in the growth and character of the community as they both grew up together. The majority of the deletions were family letters and intimate incidents that would be of little interest to the general reader. There is a portion, however, that would have been amusing had it not been so prolific. That covered the political controversies between Brush, a Whig almost alone in the district, and the democrats with their southern sympathies. The leaders of the opposition were Alexander M. Jenkins, Brush's brother-in-law, and John A. Logan, Sr., at that time active in returning runaway slaves to their "rightful" owners. Mr. Logan's son John at the outbreak of the Civil War, joined the federal army and was in time appointed a Major General, the only one so honored who was not a West Pointer. After the war he returned to politics and eventually was one of the senators from Illinois. In his memoir Brush included all the handbills of defamation circulated by his enemies and his own replying handbills and speeches. In most of the elections Brush won, but his care in saving all documents relating to his campaigns suggests that he felt keenly his enemies' accusations and included them all in his memoir to establish his innocence. As a sample of rough and ready campaigning, it is a masterpiece and establishes a precedent for the smearing technique in fashion during some of our recent national campaigns.

Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. To Catch a Sunbeam. Very slight foxing to top edge. Magic lanter slide shows were a popular form of entertainment in the halls during the late nineteenth century. Usually the image projected by the magic lanter illustrated a song, a joke or a story; but Sentiment was what the customers wanted. The popular writers used the Victorians' love of Sentiment to bring home to the audience in the halls the appalling slum conditions in which the poor were living in every large British city. This book is compiled from the lanter slide shows produced by the Victorian charities and temperance socioeties to illustrate such evils as alcohol (drunkenness had become a social disaster of epidemic [proportions among the poor), gambling, and the neglect of children. It is unfashionable today to combine Sentiment with a social message, but in the Victorian era it was not only fashionable but effective. it is impossible to read this book without a tug at the heart strings. The original magic lantern slides reproduced here of remarkable quality. They were studio-produced, using professional models and painted backcloths and sets. The glass slides were then coloured by hand. Illustrated. 143 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
