Description:
Pamphlet, 8vo, stitched, dbd, 20 pp. Removed, no half title, a little wear on title, trimmed, pages would be loose but for stitching, some aging and browning; otherwise very good. This scarce title is a report on claims against the United States by Fulwar Skipwith (1765-1839). Skipwith's home was robbed while he worked for the government in Paris, and he expected some reinbursment. Skipwith seems to have held several diplomatic posts, and he seems to have played a fairly important role negotiating the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. James Madison, who was The Speaker of the House at the time, is a contibutor to this report.

4to, magazine, glossy covers, illustrated, 64 pp. Covers bright, and in really nice condition, normal aging and browning; very good plus or better. This issue is probably one of the most important issues of the 1940s. The historic first fight between heavyweight champ Joe Louis and challenger Billy Conn is nicely covered with words and pictures. Conn ahead on points, thanks to some great boxing skills, blows his chance by trying to knock out Louis late in the fight. Despite the victory, Louis lost the PR battle, as Conn, the smaller man, was seen as a hero by almost defeating the champ. Boxer Sammy Angott is featured on the cover.

The first compendium of contemporary law concerning African Americans and a comprehensive record of legal discrimination and repression after 70 years of Jim Crow segregation. Mangum details how blatant racial discrimination was enshrined in laws governing hotels, businesses, fraternities, schools, property rights, railroads, buses, ships, airplanes, prisons, courts and juries - and, perhaps of most contemporary significance, voting rights.One irony the book points out was that statutory laws in North and South were so often at variance that even a fundamental legal definition of a Negro in one state might be in direct conflict with the laws in another. On the other hand, there were similarities in different regions of the country that outlawed interracial marriage, which was prohibited, not only in the South but also throughout the western states.

Pamphlet, removed, dbd, 184 pp. Removed, a little foxing and staining to a few pages, normal aging and toning; otherwise very good. This report is Senate document 99, presented to the 34th Congress (1st session), which presents an interesting account of the Chinese coolie trade in a series of letters and documents. A key focus of this report is on the transportation of Chinese labor in America. However, there is also discussion on the character and treatment of Chinese laborers. There appears to be a notion that they were treated better than Negro Slaves, and there was a concern that they might develop a relationship with slaves in the West Indies. The report includes some information about how Chinese laborers felt about their situation. This report was orchestrated by William Learned Marcy (1786-1857), who was Secretary of State for President Franklin Pierce. He was also a Senator from New York, and Secretary of War under President Polk. bioguide congress gov website.
