No publication date provided but OCLC cites circa 1975 which must be incorrect as Alabama incorporation records cite Tenn-Tom Publishing, Inc. as being founded in 1987; the book certainly seems to be more circa 1990-2000 in style and appearance. Evidently a quite uncommon publication as OCLC locates copies at only five member institutions. …

A small group of papers, 4to & 8vo, relating to the investigation of charges against seven German prisoners of war accused in the death of another prisoner at the Prisoner of War Camp Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona on March 12, 1944. The papers include 4 sheets, partly printed, completed in typescript and ink; plus two carbon copy pages, rectos only, of typed arguments from the defense and prosecution. The defense argument begins in mid-sentence, and is therefore incomplete. The first sheet, the Officer's Report, (2) pp. on an A.G.O. Form No. 120, states the nature of the general investigation and is directed to the Commanding Officer of the Prisoner of War Processing Station on Angel Island. It is signed in type by 1st. Lt. Harry A. Baldwin, JAGD, and recommends trial by General Court-Martial. The second sheet, (1) p., records the names of the accused, and the specification and charge of "guilty" for each man. The third and fourth sheets, (2) pp., give the sentences, each man to be "hanged by the neck until dead." In the partial record of the defense's statement for clemency, mention is made of statements "obtained by duress or coercion," with the use of tactics including "the use of a Gas Mask with an onion placed within it, and the use of an overcoat." Defense pleaded that the prisoners knew their victim, Werner Drechsler, was an informant and believed him to be a traitor supplying information to "a country with which [their] country was at war." They were moved to murder him in much the same way as a group of American POWs might defend themselves against a traitor in their midst. The prosecutor's response in rebuttal asked for sympathy for the victim. Clearly that argument prevailed. In Jane Eppinga's book on this court martial, "Death at Papago Park POW Camp: A Tragic Murder and America's Last Mass Execution, [Arcadia Pub.: 2017], she details the events leading up to Drechsler's hanging by his fellow U-boat crewmen. Drechsler had been collaborating with US Navy authorities since his capture in 1943, spying on his fellow prisoners at a POW Camp near Fort Meade in Maryland. When he was transferred to Papago Park, where he was known, the US military failed to protect him and he was dead within seven hours of arrival. On August 25, 1945, all seven men, Helmut Fischer, Fritz Franke, Guenther Kuelsen, Heinrich Ludwig, Bernhard Reyak, Otto Stengel, and Rolf Wizuy, were hanged at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.…

A rare Civil War broadside recounting Confederate General John S. Marmaduke's second raid into Missouri. It gives detailed news of battles between Union and Confederate troops in southeast Missouri, an area that saw bloody battles between Unionists and Bushwhackers throughout the Civil War. Marmaduke, aided by other Confederate units led by Joseph O. Shelby, and Sterling Price and others attempted to lay claim to Missouri in 1861; they were unsuccessful, but did not acknowledge defeat. Marmaduke planned his return for spring of 1863, confident that secessionist-minded Missourians would rally to his banner and he could make a decisive move on Jefferson City and even St. Louis. He needed the help: at the beginning of the raid Marmaduke had about 5,000 troops, of which 1,200 were unarmed and 900 were unmounted, and he hoped to resupply at Patterson and Bloomfield. He divided his forces, and sent 2,000 against Patterson, the furthest south in a string of fortified outposts in southeastern Missouri. Marmaduke's troops had the element of surprise initially, approaching Patterson and its small garrison of about 400 troops, commanded by Col. Edwin Smart. Marmaduke's men captured Smart's pickets but revealed themselves soon after, as over-eager artillery troops started firing before the infantry could get into place. Smart sent out a battalion under Major Wood to hold off the Confederates while he prepared his troops and supply trains for retreat. In the text of this broadside, Smart reports that Wood "held them in check, and skirmished them into town.Before I left the town I destroyed what stores I could not bring away. Nothing fell into the hands of the enemy." Marmaduke pursued them to Big Creek, about eight miles west of Patterson, and Smart writes: "The engagement was severe in the extreme, often fighting hand to hand. At Big Creek they got in my front, and attempted to cut off my retreat, but I forced my way and formed on this side of the Creek. The enemy did not renew the engagement." Smart lost about fifty troops, including Major McConnell. Marmaduke failed to obtain any military stores at Patterson or during his subsequent raid at Bloomfield and no sympathetic Missourians joined his cause; the raid was a failure, and confirmed that while Missouri was no Union stronghold, neither was it interested in furthering the Confederate cause. This broadside bears no imprint, and the place of printing is unknown, but the tone of the text and the fact that the news arrived so quickly indicates that it might have been printed in St. Louis. No copies of this broadside are listed in OCLC. Such broadsides bearing news of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi West are rare, and shine an important spotlight on an often-neglected aspect of Civil War history. Broadside, 13¾ x 4¼ inches. Remnants of tape at top edge and ink mark in top margin. Slight tanning and spotting, old folds. Very good. …
