[xii]+1-110+[2]+[1-52 facsimile manuscript]+111-124 pages with frontispiece, 7 additional plates, 2 maps (1 folding), facsimiles and index. Quarto (10 1/4" x 6 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter white cloth with gilt lettering to spine over brown boards with Quivira Societies gilt stamp to front cover. Signed by the translator, Fritz Leo Hoffmann. Quivira Society Publications, volume V. Copy 96 of 100 copies of the special facsimile issue. [Howes C254; Jenkins 29; Rader 643]. First edition into English.
When in January, 1933, the diary of the Alarcon expedition into Texas and Louisiana was found in the Archivo General de la Nacion by Luis Ceballos and Maria Viamonte, paleographers in the archives, it was not until the document was shown to the noted Mexican historian and scholar, ingeniero Vito Alessio Robles, that its full importance came to be known. Robles, being an authority on the early history of northern Mexico and Texas, immediately had several transcript copies made of the manuscript, one of which he gave to Fritz Hoffmann with the suggestion that he translate the document and have it published with notes. The diary, lost for more than two centuries, had been misplaced in an expediente entitled Medidas de Tierras efectuadas en las Misiones de San Bernardino de la Candela y Santiago de Valladares, 1718 (Survey of the Lands effected at Missions of San Bernardino de la Candela and Santiago de Valadares, 1718), at the end of volume 360 of the section of the archives known as Tierras. In the meantime Robles had published the original Spanish text, without notes, in the review, La Universidad de Mexico, Tomo V, numbers 25-28. The original manuscript consists of twenty-six sheets, written on both sides in a small hand by the chaplain of the expedition, Fray Francisco Celiz, a priest of the mission of El Dulcisimo Nombre de Jesus de Peyotes in Coahuila. The document carries no title. Alarcon's son, Francisco de Alarcon, in a letter written July 19, 1719, attached to the diary, calls it El Diario de la conqauista y entrada a los Thejas (The Diary of the conquest and entry to the Thejas).
Condition:
Corners and spine ends bumped, unread else a very good copy with the original cellophane jacket which is chipped at spine.

First edition.Driven by religious zeal and philanthropic enthusiasm, William F M Arny in the mid-1800s waged his endless crusade-establishing churches, founding schools, organizing farmers, creating political parties and introducing improved transportation methods. This dynamic reformer strode westward through a series of developing communities in the Virginia mountains, Illinois farm country, Kansas plains and New Mexico deserts prior to becoming an Indian agent and making the far Southwest his workshop. But, no less than other federal officials, Arny as an Indian agent failed to comprehend the cultural differences between the Indians and the white settlers.

Göttingen: Steidl, 2017. Revised Steidl edition (first published as two volumes in 1977). This large format recreates the full original sequence of photos in one volume for the first time. Rich with 100 images illustrating Eggleston's pilgrimage from Memphis to the small town of Plains, Georgia (home of Jimmy Carter), where in November 1976 Carter was elected 39th President of the United States. Lonesome roads, train tracks, cars, gas stations and houses... 340 x 260 mm (13½ x 10¼ inches). In a very good condition - both inside and out. Lloyd Fonvielle says in the book's introduction: 'The photographs have a quietude and unsentimental romanticism, as well as an edge of poignance, which belie the expectations of hopefulness or portentousness suggested by a knowledge of the time and place in which they were made. On the eve of the election, when nothing had yet been decided, when everything - whatever that everything was -hung in the balance, Eggleston made an elegy... a statement of perfect calm'.

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

This book is in good condition. There is a lot of wear on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. There is also a substantial amount of staining on the cover boards. The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist. France, supported by the United States, was then fighting to retain its hold in Indochina against the Vietminh, the Communist-led nationalist movement there. As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience. Then, in 1959, I was assigned to cover eastern Asia; the region that included Vietnam became my beat for more than two decades. I visited Vietnam most recently in 1981 for seven weeks, the longest permitted an American correspondent since the Communists gained control of the entire…
