CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Light rubbing to cover, gilt bright. Interior is clean and tight. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Very scarce Confederate history, seldom offered for sale. Here with a nice presentation to the former Superintendent of VMI. When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, Paxton enlisted as a Lieutenant in the Rockbridge Rifles, which became a company of the 27th Virginia Infantry. This regiment of Shenandoah Valley volunteers and 4 other Virginia regiments were brigaded under the command of Brigadier General Thomas J. Jackson. At First Bull Run, Jackson and his command earned enduring fame as "Stonewall" and the "Stonewall Brigade." In October 1861 he was elected Major of the 27th. Nicknamed "Bull," he lacked the ability to gain favor with his men and in the spring of 1862, he failed reelection. Jackson, who liked his fellow Lexingtonian, appointed him to his staff as assistant adjutant general with the rank of Major. He served Jackson during the campaigns of 1862, temporarily acting as chief of staff. On November 1, with Jackson's endorsement, the staff officer was promoted to Brigadier General and assigned to the command of the Stonewall Brigade. Jackson advanced him over all the regimental commanders, whom Jackson believed were not qualified for the post. The officers and enlisted men vehemently protested the appointment. Colonel Andrew Jackson Grigsby, commander of the 27th, led the protest, eventually resigning in disgust. He never had the opportunity to vindicate his selection by Jackson. The Stonewall Brigade held a reserve position at Fredericksburg, Virginia, in December 1862. At Chancellorsville, on May 2, 1863, when Jackson's Corps routed the Union XI Corps in a surprise attack, his brigade again acted as support. The next morning, as the brigade prepared to attack in the early light, he was killed instantly by a minie ball. REFERENCES: DORN. II 3030; NEVINS I pg. 142 "This volume, privately printed for the family, is highly important for the warmly human comments of one of the commanders of the Stonewall Brigade." IN TALLER COTTON 148 "Some copies of the 1905 private edition swerve published in 1907 without revision, but with a tip-in sheet of explanation, by the Neale Publishing Company of New York and Washington." EICHER #298: "This difficult-to-procure book has a peculiar publication history in that the remaining stock of this privately printed work was purchased in 1907 by the Neale Publishing Company.which sold it beginning in 1907." KRICK #374: "The majority of this slender volume is given up to publication of Paxton's letters written as an officer in the 27th Virginia Infantry, then an aide to Jackson and finally as brigadier commanding the famed Stonewall Brigade. Their content is interesting and sometimes moving. A section of material concerning Paxton's death at Chancellorsville is included.". Inscribed by Author(s).

This rare instrument is one of the largest portable view cameras; and this particular camera was built between 1907 and 1915 in Rochester, New York, under the auspices of the Eastman Kodak Company. A fourteen inch f 7.7 Goerz Dagor barrel lens, operated without a mechanical shutter, was used to create the images. Banquet cameras were utilized, as the name suggests, primarily for photographing large groups of people at weddings and banquets. Today, the remaining cameras of this format are most often used by landscape photographers ---The origianl photographs that appear in this book were contact printed from the twelve by twenty inch camera negatives on one hundred percent rag paper that was hand coated with platinum metals. These platinum prints were then copied fro reproduction in the book of Hans & Ingeborg., ---obviously high production values and clearly a labour of photographic love, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and NOT a generic photo /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)--- Size: 15w x 11.25h Inches.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Paxton, Jean (illustrator). First Edition. Rare. Signed and inscribed by the author's wife, whose exquisite illustrations accompany this work of fiction based on the ancient pueblos in New Mexico that constitute Gan Quivera. This book has no stated date, but Paxton (b. 1922, d. 1976) mentioned it in a biographical blurb in 1971, so it was certainly written prior to that. He was more than likely inspired to write the book when he lived in Albuquerque, which is near Gran Quivera and Quarai. Signed by Illustrator(s).
