     EXCESSIVELY RARE COPY OF THE CHEROKEE PHOENIX AND INDIAN
                   ADVOCATE - DECEMBER 31, 1831. VOL. IV. NO. 25
 
 2. CHEROKEE PHOENIX AND INDIAN ADVOCATE Newspaper. New Echota (GA) - Saturday, December 31, 1831. Vol. IV, No. 25. 4 pgs., 12.75 x 21.25 inches. Newspaper title written in Cherokee syllabary above the English language version. The title encapsulates the emblem of the paper, a mythical phoenix rising to new life from ashes of fire, with the word "PROTECTION" printed in an overhead banner.
 
The Cherokee Phoenix was the first Native American newspaper, plus the first bilingual newspaper publication in North America, thus allowing the Cherokee to read the news of their nation in their own language. Its first issue was printed on Feb. 21, 1828, in New Echota, Cherokee Nation, now the state of Georgia, with its editor being Elias Boudinot. It was printed bilingual, using the Cherokee syllabary which Sequoyah created in 1821. In October 1827, prior to the papers 1st issue, editor Boudinot had issued a detailed prospectus for the paper pledging to print the official laws and documents of the Cherokee nation, local and international news items, columns on the Cherokees' progress in the "arts of civilized life," and tracts on temperance and Christian living. Short works of fiction and columns reprinted from other newspaper also appeared routinely.
 
The role of the CHEROKEE PHOENIX AND INDIAN ADVOCATE was to keep the members of the Cherokee Nation united and informed. In mid-1820's the tribe was being pressured by the U.S. government and Georgia in particular, to move to new lands west of the Mississippi River, or to dissolve their Cherokee tribal government and be under the complete jurisdiction of the U.S. government. Out of this choice developed the CHEROKEE PHOENIX with collaboration between the General Council of the Cherokee nation, Samuel Worcester, a missionary and Elias Boudinot who became its editor its first four and a half years. Boudinot had been educated at the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall, Connecticut.
 
"The first issue appeared February 21, 1828. It contained five columns on each of its four pages. The editor announced that, because translation between English and Cherokee was slow, initially the paper would print only three columns each week in the Cherokee language. The first issue covered a variety of subjects. Samuel Worcester wrote an article praising Sequoyah's invention of the syllabary, and Boudinot's first editorial criticized white settlers wanting Cherokee land. As the issue of removal attracted attention throughout the United States, the newspaper arranged a fund-raising and publicity tour, which attracted new subscribers from almost all areas of the US and Europe. Boudinot gradually published mostly in English, trying to reach that larger audience." (Wikipedia) By 1929, the name of the CHEROKEE PHOENIX had been changed to the CHEROKEE PHOENIX AND INDIANS' ADVOCATE to reflect the expanding scope of the publication.
 
The impending removal of the Cherokees from George was a closely watched issue nationally and as such the focus of the newspaper shifted to the removal crisis. The Indian Removal Act became law and was signed on May 28, 1830 by President Andrew Jackson. The law gave authorities the right to negotiate land-exchange treaties with Indian tribes living within the boundaries of the existing states. Boudinot had increasingly supported the voluntary removal of the Cherokees to land west of the Mississippi while the leadership of the Cherokees was against removal. Thus in August 1832 Boudinot was forced to resign and Elijah Hicks, an anti-removal Cherokee, became the editor of the PHOENIX.
 
Georgia was the largest state at the time and where the Cherokees held the most land. Also, Georgia was the home to New Echota, the capital of the Cherokee nation. Georgia was especially interested in their removal and was involved in a contentious jurisdictional dispute between the two parties. On the front page of this offered newspaper under the title Extract From the Presidents Message, President Andrew Jackson is quoted "At the last session I had the happiness to announce that the Chickasaws had accepted the generous offer of the Government, and agreed to remove beyond the Mississippi and the western part of Alabama will be freed from Indian occupancy, and opened to a civilized population. The Treaties with these tribes are in a course of execution, and their removal it is hoped will be completed in the course of 1832. At the request of the authorities of Georgia, the registration of Cherokee Indians for emigration has been resumed, and it is confidently expected that one half, if not two thirds of that tribe, will follow the wise example of their westerly brethren.... But the removal of the Indians beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the States does not place them beyond the reach of philanthropic aid and Christian instruction. On the contrary, those whom philanthropy or religion may induce to live among them in their new abode, will be more free in the exercise of their benevolent functions, than if they had remained within the limits of the States, embarrassed by their internal regulations. Now, subject to no control but the superintending agency of the General Government, exercised with the sole view of preserving peace, they may proceed unmolested in the interesting experiment by gradually advancing a community of American Indians from Barbarism to the habits and enjoyments of a civilized life." Just two columns over on the front page, an alternative view is offered, "Do not all the reason which have heretofore availed with the friends of the Indians, remain in full force? Is it not as true at this moment, as it was one year, or two years ago, that they have a right to the lands they occupy - that the peaceable possession of those lands has been guaranteed to them in numerous Treaties, to which the great Seal of the nation is affixed? Is it not as true now as it was then that the Indians are oppressed? ....Would it not be as calamitous now as it would have been then, for them to remove, with all their helpless and decrepit ones, a thousand miles into a barren wilderness?"

DIXIE EDITORS FEAR DRY FORCE BILL WILL LEAD TO NEGRO CONTROL IN         SOUTH; DESTROYS STATE RIGHTS.  (Probably Raleigh, N.C. - 1918) 

 3. (Prohibition - Negro Control) Not in OCLC and only one copy located at the Gilder Lehrman Institute, this fantastic broadside of prohibition-related racist paranoia through several opinions argues that a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol would in some form be the beginning of ending states' rights and bring black government to the south.

Under THE NEGRO QUESTION it reads "The Anti-Saloon League, by arguing to Congressmen that, regardless of their personal opinions, they should give the States an opportunity to vote for or against a National Prohibition Amendment to our Federal constitution, succeeded this week in getting enough votes to pass their amendment, and it is now "up to the States." "We believe that North Carolina should turn this amendment down - and turn it down hard.." "The question is not one of liquor at all. It is simply a question of State's rights - or whether local self-government should be abolished in this nation or not." "The question is whether North Carolina - which is "dry" by exercise of its primal right of local self-government - shall take part in coercing and dictating to "wet" States the abandonment of their fundamental and hitherto unquestioned right to decide for themselves what they shall drink - wine, beer, whiskey - all or none." "We are opposed to this amendment, not only because it is vicious in principle, but because it has dynamite in it - and is liable to react in a disastrous way to the South. North Carolina is a Southern State.".... "What does this mean? It means that there is already one amendment in the U.S. constitution which invades State's right to this extent - that no State shall deprive a citizen of his vote on account of COLOR, That amendment is already there, and it will take a vote of two-thirds of the States to change it, whereas the Southern States are not one-third of the American Union of forty-eight States. That amendment gives to Congress the power to force upon the South a vote for the negro and a revival of the dangerous color question. If enforced, it would give South Carolina a NEGRO government from top to bottom.  The North - which is wet - may and probably would, in revenge, assisted by the woman-voting dry Republican States of the West, force upon the South a law that would put the negro in power." Opinions for this broadside were taken from The Highlander, Shelby, N.C. Dec. 22, 1917; The Birmingham News, Dec. 28, 1917 and from Henry Watterson in the Courier-Journal, Kentucky.

A remarkable photo album and manuscript travelogue detailing two week-long stands in Syracuse and Palmyra, New York by the Holman's Rides Carnival Company, owned by Leonard Sprague, and Lucy Holman Sprague in post-World War II America. Washington, DC: Joseph & Mary Kochka, December, 1950. 4to. 36 leaves of thick paper stock (unnumbered), nearly all with extensive manuscript text written in green ink.

This exceptional photo essay manuscript was created by the Kochkas during their summer break to gain a deeper appreciation of the indispensable part that carnivals and amusement rides played in the recreational activities of the post-World War II American public. Leonard Sprague (1902-1970), and his wife Lucy (1894-1954) had taken over the Holman's Rides amusement and carnival business in Seneca Falls, NY after the death of her father Lewis Holman (1865-1947). Together with their cocker spaniel named Dundee, they were superb showmen, and photos are included of their ticket booth, home, their transport trucks for their Merry-go-round, Tilt-a-Whirl, Ferris Wheel, and the Baby Tug, along with the crews, crew quarters, erection and disassembly crews, the midway, and more. The manuscript log records the first week-long stand at Syracuse, NY for the Men's Valley Club, which maintained their own ticket booth, and would dispense to Holman's Rides their share, details the events against the backdrop of preparing and running the show, the orphan's day where they could ride all the rides for free, even including the rolling cook shack for the carnival workers last call before heading off for the second show the Wayne County Fair in Palmyra, NY. The fair grounds in Palmyra offer horse races next to the carnival, and an excellent series of aerial captioned photos taken from the top of the newly erected ferris wheel. Joseph Kochka (1892-1952) had served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Provost Marshall's Department during World War I, and when mustered out in Washington, DC where he became a public school teacher until his death, with most of his career spent at Woodrow Wilson High School.

19. TO THE CITIZENS OF CAMBRIDGE. A Call has been made by the Government for Five Hundred Thousand Men, to strengthen the Armies of the Union - the apportionment to Cambridge being Five Hundred and Fifty-two Men, who must be forthcoming, either as Volunteers, or by a Draft, from the Enrolled men; which will be, for each able-bodied man, about one chance in four of being compelled to enter the military service. A one page broadside printed by the Cambridge, Mass. Committee of One Hundred and signed in print by Emory Washburn, Chairman and Thos. G. Rice, Secretary. 1863. 7 ¼ x 8 ½ inches (28 ½ x 21 ½ cm)
  
An interesting anti-draft broadside, issued by the Committee of One Hundred in Cambridge, MA. During the civil war the town of Cambridge lost 350 men of whom 35 were officers. A section of this broadside is titled ENROLLED MEN OF MODERATE MEANS and it states that "This paper binds you to two things and no more, to wit 1 st. To pay to the Committee Fifty Dollars at the time of signing. 2d To pay such further sums as you may be assessed, not exceeding Fifty Dollars more. It also binds the Committee to two things to wit - 1 st. To use their utmost endeavors to FILL THE QUOTA OF CAMBRIDGE, under the existing call for 500,000 men. 2d. In case of failure to prevent a draft, and in case you are drafted, to return to you your money."
  
"This is the whole story, and we trust that it is intelligible to all. The Committee feel certain that they can do much better with the $50 to $100 subscribed by the enrolled man, than he can possibly do for himself, and a little reflection will satisfy you that such is the case. By keeping your money to yourself, you can do nothing to fill the Quota and avoid the draft, but by putting it into the hands of the Committee - in conjunction with eight hundred others - you create a Fund, which, in all human probability will enable us to carry the city triumphantly through. If we fail to do so, we shall return your money, in case you happen to be drafted in spite of all our exertions to prevent it. There is nothing complicated or hazardous about the matter, if it is left entirely with the Committee. Come forward, then, with your name and your money, trusting to the Committee to do all that men can do to meet the demand upon the city."

20. (Plywood Trade Catalog) WELDWOOD PLYWOOD FOR ARCHITECTURAL USE. This is a salesman's  sample catalogue filled with plywood sample leaves for architects, designers, and contractors.  New York: United States Plywood Corporation. C. 1950. 44 pp (unpaginated), including 2 printed leaves on thick cardboard, 40 plywood wood sample finishes, each carefully marked, hinged in brown cloth. Original printed plywood covers, backed in brown buckrum, black lettering on front cover & spine, canvas flap with black snap to hold the catalogue together still intact.

First edition of this very scarce post-World War II salesman sample catalogue for the Weldwood Plywood assembled from domestic and imported hardwoods for interiors and furniture which would heavily influence Mid-Century Modern designs. Plywood had first become a successful and durable product after the development of waterproof adhesive by Dr. Nevin in 1934, and within a few years the United States Plywood Corporation was establishing plywood as a strong, durable, and versatile architectural material. Before the War, plywood was primarily produced from Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir, but scientists in several companies had developed methods of using other softwoods and hardwoods which set off the plywood boom following World War II. These samples of Weldwood Plywood include veneers from such wood varieties as Avodire, Red Gum, Brazilian and East Indian Rosewood, American Sycamore, Bubinga, Zebrawood, Curly Maple, and many others which were employed in a wide range of interior architectural designs, furnishings, and more by Mid-Century designers. The U.S. Plywood Corp. was founded in 1937 in a consolidation of three smaller plywood companies, and by 1967 they merged with Champion Papers, Inc., and eventually changed their name to Champion International, later sold to UPM in 2000.
