Publisher: Donald M. Miller Indiana, PA, 1962
A Catalogue of U. S. Store Cards or Merchants Tokens: The Money of the Merchants; A Descriptive Price List of Privately Struck Tokens Most of Which Were a Part of the Unofficial Coinage of the U.S. By Donald M. Miller, Indiana, PA: Donald M. Miller, 1962. Softcover (stapled binding). "The Money of the Merchants. The foregoing caption appeared across the title page of an Auction Catalogue
.containing the most complete collection of Store Cards or Merchants Tokens ever assembled. Of particular interest is the following comment of Mr. Woodward: Many of these cards and tokens are amongst the very rarest of American issues, and if the word RARE with its superlatives is thought to occur too frequently, let it be attributed to the fact mentioned, which every collector knows is perfectly correct. The 1804 dollar and the 1802 (half) dime are actually common in comparison with many of these pieces, and I confess, that apart from their money value, I regard them as much less interesting. These pieces and the political series, are an epitome of the political and business history of the country, while the mint series is--money--thats all.
.Mr. Woodwards statement still stands as a fair appraisal of the relative rarity between the official and unofficial coinage of this country."

Stephens, Alexander H.
A Constitutional View of the War Between the States
Publisher: National Publishing Company Philadelphia, PA, 1868
A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States; Its Causes, Character, Conduct and Results. Presented in a Series of Colloquies at Liberty Hall. Volume I. By Alexander H. Stephens. Philadelphia, PA: National Publishing Company, 1868. Volume One only of two volumes. Antiquarian hardcover. Alexander H. Stephens was the Vice President of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. He served in the U.S. Congress from Georgia both before and after the Civil War. "The purpose of the writer of this work is to present a Constitutional view of the late War between the States of the Union, known as the United States of America. The view is intended to embrace a consideration of the causes, the character, conduct and results of this War, in relation to the nature and character of the joint Government of these States; and of its effects upon the nature and character of this Government, as well as of its effects upon the separate Governments, Constitutions and general internal Institutions of the States themselves. The subject is one that does not fall clearly within the domain of History, in the usual acceptation of that word. The design is rather to deal with the materials of History than to supply them. It is not so much to present any portion of American History, as it is, by Historical analysis, to show what are the principles embodied in those systems of Government established, by the Anglo-Saxons, on this Continent, and to illustrate their singularly happy adaptation, so long as adhered to, to the situation and character of the North American States

A Diamond Jubilee History 1906-1981: Atlantic District--Lutheran Church Missouri Synod
Publisher: Atlantic District Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, 1981
A Diamond Jubilee History 1906-1981: Atlantic District--Lutheran Missouri Synod. No author. NP: Atlantic District Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, 1981. Oversized hardcover. "The story of the first 75 years of the Atlantic District, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod traces Lutheranism back to 1664 when the first Lutherans were given legal recognition as a church by the British, who occupied New Amsterdam. From these seemingly insignificant beginnings, a Lutheran brotherhood later organized and has grown to include over 100 churches today. "This congregational brotherhood has ministered to and organized congregations for such diverse ethnic groups as the Chinese, Italians, Jews, Koreans, Persians, Blacks, and Hispanics, as well as the deaf, a very special group. "Dynamic early pastors such as Theodore Julius Brohm, Johann Heinrich Sieker, and Ernst Carl Louis Schulze forged the history of the Atlantic District, instituting change and giving leadership when needed. This history not only includes these early pastors, but also tells the founding of the individual churches in the Atlantic District. "These separate histories continue to show the determination and devotion of the pastors and church members who felt the need to gather for the cause of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The struggles and victories of these dedicated congregations are brought together in one historical book commemorating the Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of the Atlantic District, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod."

Cannon, Poppy
A Gentle Knight: My Husband, Walter White
Publisher: Rinehart & Company, Inc. New York, 1956
"This is the biography of a marriage, unusually happy and tender, though subjected to cruel pressures and strains that might have shattered a less firm union. It is the warm and courageous story of Poppy Cannons marriage to Walter White, blue-eyed and fair-haired, a man who chose to identify himself as a Negro and thus made a special mockery of the so-called race problem. "With heart-warming frankness, understanding, and humor, Poppy Cannon tells of the problems faced by a white woman married to the executive head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: the effect on her children in a highly conservative community, the storm in the press; new hostilities and friendships. "She sees and reports upon two worlds--white and colored--in a manner both personal and analytical. The Whites continued to fight together for the ideals he had relentlessly pursued all his life. "However, this is not merely a story of great achievements, great names, momentous decisions. It is above all, a vivid portrait of a man who had all the qualities of chivalre, trouthe, and honour, freedom and curtesey that Chaucer gave to his verray Parfit, Gentil Knight. Walter Whites death in 1955 was a stunning loss to all humanity." 309 pages with index. . Good. Hard Cover. Book condition: Good

Gaskins, Ruth L., Illustrated by: Porge Buck
A Good Heart and A Light Hand: Ruth L. Gaskins' Collection of Traditional Negro Recipes
Publisher: Fund for Alexandria, Virginia Alexandria, VA, 1968
INSCRIBED on inside of front cover: "October, 1969 / Alexandria, Va / To Ernie Sciarino, / from / Ruth L. Gaskins". This book was later reprinted by Simon & Schuster; this IS the first printing of the original first edition. "Now that I have given you the Welcome, it is time to look in the pot. Basically, our food is simple, inexpensive, and plentiful. As slaves, our daily ration included one salt herring and one pint of corn meal. Occasionally, a piece of salt pork was substituted for the herring. On fortunate days we were given sour milk or buttermilk and perhaps a portion of molasses. Virginia slaves were often allowed to raise vegetables, chickens and a few pigs. Corn was the main garden crop because it did not require much care, and could be used either as a vegetable or it could be ground and used for bread. Poke, dandelion and other greens were gathered wild. Every few years the pigs were turned out of their pens, and turnips were grown in the fertile soil. Variety was added to our diets with fish and crabs from the rivers, and small game from the surrounding forests. These basic ingredients--corn, pork, chicken, greens, seafood, sour or buttermilk and molasses have stayed with us for 300 years and still form the heart of Negro cooking. Weve added sauces, spices, butter, relishes and wines--weve pretty much replaced molasses with sugar, and new houses have taken away most of our small game, but essentially we still start with the same foods. The Welcome that comes from our kitchens depends on these basic ingredients, and, of course, a good heart and a light hand." This classic book of American Negro cooking includes almost 200 recipes.

Peterkin, George W.

Publisher: George W. Peterkin Charleston, WV, 1902
A History and Record of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of West Virginia: And Before the Formation of the Diocese in 1878, in the Territory Now Known as the State of West Virginia. By Geo. W. Peterkin, the First Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of West Virginia, 1878. Charleston, WV: Geo. W. Peterkin, 1902. Hardcover. "In 1857 Bishop Meade published two volumes entitled "Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia." In his preface he says: Besides the recovery of many old vestry books or fragments thereof supposed to have been lost, I have by my own researches or those of my friends, found interesting materials for this work in a number of the old records of the State, which may yet be seen, through often in a mutilated or moldering condition, in the clerks offices of various counties. there can be no doubt but that by this publication the Bishop has preserved a vast deal of most important and interesting information which must otherwise have long since perished. These books are however but little known in West Virginia, and are reported now to be practically out of print. The desire to spread abroad the information, which Bishop Meade so laboriously gathered concerning the establishment and progress of the Episcopal Church in West Virginia, and, as far as possible, to complete the work by bringing it down to the present time. has induced me to undertake to prepare a volume that shall be supplemental to the two already mentioned. I shall not pretend to give an orderly or systematic treatment of the subject, but rather such compilation of facts and figures as may interest the casual reader, and perhaps serve the future historian

A Holiday By the Sea
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy New York, 1962
A Holiday by the Sea. By Gerald Brenan. New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1962. First United States publication (stated). Hardcover. "Tom Fisher is a cultured, highly articulate, middle-aged intellectual of the early thirties who, like T. S. Eliots Purfrock, is filled with an insidious sense of failure at having measured out his life with coffee-spoons. To escape this realization he has turned away from life into art, literature and, above all, conversation. After a long estrangement Tom is visiting his half-sister Dora and her schizophrenic communist husband, Hubert, in a cottage on the Kent coast, where he renews his childhood obsession with the sea and the ambiguous, once incestuous dream-relationship with Dora, besides making occasional expeditions to a nearby seaside town to philander with local shopgirls. However, with the arrival of Huberts ex-fiancee Eleanor, he begins (again like the hero of Eliots great poem) to hear the mermaids singing each to each and even dares imagine that they may sing to him. But though Eleanor like men and sees Tom as a stading invitation to seduce him, she is a cold, sea-witch character who requires men mainly as food for her compulsive, neurotic vanity

A Man of the World. By Annie Payson Call. Boston, MA: Little, Brown, and Company, 1905. First edition. Hardcover. Annie Payson Call (1853-1940) was a popular writer from Waltham, Massachusetts. Her themes revolved around mental health. "There are two worlds in the minds of men: the one is artificial, selfish, and personal, the other is real and universal; the one is limited, material, essentially of the earth, the other supposes a kind of larger cosmopolitanism, and has no geographical limits at all; it is as wide as humanity itself, and only bounded by the capacity for experience, insight, and sympathy in the mind and heart of man. A true man of the world, therefore, is not primarily of it, --a true man of the world must know and understand the world; and in order to do so, he should be able at any time to get it into perspective

An adaptation in the main, of an English work known as Heygates Manual, it was, like that, intended for a special class of persons, amongst whom, from the beginning of his ministry, the compiler had been happily and contentedly laboring. But the book passed to a wider sue than had been anticipated, gaining some circulation among persons who had no other poverty save poverty of spirit. Notwithstanding this, it may still be regarded as intended for Christs Poor; since it is not merely those who are poor in this worlds goods, but those who are poor in spirit, that the Lord accounts to be blessed, and thus marks for His own
