Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 232, xxv pp. ; illustrated, 19 photographic plates, 3 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

Seller: Katz Fine Manuscripts Inc., Cochrane, AB, Canada
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Condition: Good. On offer are a number of exceptional documents directly related to Operation Musketeer, an Anglo-French plan for invasion during the Suez Crisis of 1956. They include a 17 page handwritten diary of a National Servicemen (Guy Smith) onboard the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle, the center of the Mediterranean Fleet on standby in case of invasion. There are also two letters, from much more recently (only one is dated, on 2011). The first letter is from the wife of the Mr. Smith, explaining a bit more about the person behind the diary. The other is from a man who was onboard the HMS Dalrymple, also part of the Fleet in the Operation. The 17 page diary is titled, "An Extensive Signal Exercise, Or, Operation Musketeer" and was written by a National Serviceman named Guy Smith. It begins, "The fleet started to leave Grand Harbor Malta at 0830 Monday the 29th of October 1956." He mentions that the Eagle was the flagship of the fleet, "carrying the flag of Vice Admiral Power." Immediately, "disaster struck the flagship" as a wire holding an aircraft to the flight deck broke and the aircraft was dragged overboard, sinking the ship and almost killing the pilot. He mentions the feeling onboard the ship as it headed towards the Suez Canal: ".the Captain announced that Israel had attacked Egypt and her troops were within seventy miles of the Suez Canal. The Navy, he said must be prepared to act at a moment's notice." The diary also explains the plan of Operation Musketeer: "The first was the complete destruction of the Egyptian air force, this was expected to take 48 hours, and then stage two, the actual occupation of the Canal Zone could proceed." The next few pages go into very specific detail about how the two stages would proceed, and a delight to read for anyone interested in tactics of post WW2 warfare. On November 1st, an air offensive begins. The diary again goes into very detailed explanations of the air strikes: "During the day's operations, the ship had steamed 220 miles, flew 114 sorties, 75 strikes, ten enemy aircraft destroyed, 17 damaged, a radar station and many tanks and vehicles destroyed. Ammunition expended included 22 of 1,000 lb bombs, 32 of 500 lb bombs, 232 armor piercing rockets, 15,000 rounds of 20mm at the loss of one aircraft." The diary continues in its details about the operation, until the ceasefire on November 6th. The diary finishes with the author explaining the importance of the operation to the Royal Navy. Finally, the last page contains a list of "The Anglo-French Naval Force off Suez not including launching ships and craft and troop ships." The list includes the name of the aircraft carriers, destroyers, battleships, paring class ships, frigates, cruisers, fast minelayers, and fleet auxiliaries who participated in the operation. The letter by his wife states that he was "a National Servicemen on board 'Eagle'" and that at the time of Operation Musketeer, he was "the Admiral's State Board Keeper / Messenger." She writes that "as with so many National Servicemen, they were some of the 'best years of his life' and I am only sorry that he is no longer here to tell the tale." The other letter, by Mike Cross, states that he was a 'young A.B. [Able Seaman]' on the HMS Dalrymple, one of the last ships to leave Malta for the Suez Canal. He also states that the ship was "flying the UN flag, so they gave us overalls and a beret' and did not look like he normally did while on duty. The three documents are all in good or very good shape. The diary has some slight discoloration and small tears on the edges, but nothing that affects its structure or legibility. All three letters are written in pen and easily readable throughout. The diary is undated, but obviously is older than the other two letters. This is a fantastic small archive for those interested in secret operations of war, the Suez Canal Crisis that defined a region for many years to come, or the intimate details of modern warfare post World War 2.
