1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Signed by Author(s). Very good, red cloth over boards w gilt font on spine,HARD COVER, first edition/printing, xiii + 296 pps.w blk/white photos. Books is clean and tight but is underlined + symbolic notations in margins. Dust jacket is unclipped, slight curl at bottom edge, one repaired tear in verso, crease on flap and is now under protective mylar making a very acceptable appearance. The former book owner had a correspondence with the author, a handwritten letter by the author is included which clearly states his opinions he shared regarding some of the Friends support of some Nazi issues.This letter was written in response to an invitation (implied) to speak at a Friends' gathering. Hans A. Schmitt's compelling story describes American, British, and German Quakers' attempts to mitigate the suffering among not only victims of Nazism but Nazi sympathizers in Austria and Lithuania as well. With numerous poignant illustrations of the pressure and social cost involved in being a Quaker from 1933 to 1945, and reveals a facet of Nazi Germany that is entirely unknown to most people. The book is not signed by the author, but the full page handwritten letter is signed and the envelope used to send the letter is also attached. Also included is a postcard with the author's address and the NY Times 2001 obituary of Gerhart Riegne, the secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress from 1965 to 1983 and the person who sent the telegram which was the first official communication about the planned Holocaust. The book is very scarce, in very good condition and the addition of this letter makes this listing of special interest and very collectible.

First edition limited to 100 copies of which this is number 57.With the fourth supply caravan, which left Mexico City in 1620 and arrived in New Mexico early in 1621, came fray Gerónimo Zárate Salmerón. Like all of the 250 or so Franciscans sent to New Mexico during the seventeenth century, Zárate Salmerón was not born in the province, although he was a native of the New World. His birthplace was Río Alvarado, south of Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico coast, where he was born probably in the middle 1550s. The decade of his birth is inferred from the year of his profession as a priest at the Franciscan Convento Grande in Mexico City, 1579, and the usual minimum age of a new priest of 25. Fray Gerónimo was assigned as priest to the people of Jemez. He got to work almost immediately, founding the mission San José de…

xvi+469 pages with appendix and bibliography. Royal octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First editionFocusing on the fate of the natives under Spanish rule, the author traces in graphic detail the rupturing of Indian traditions and the fate that befell the Indian people. While demonstrating the excesses of the conquistadors and unscrupulous crown officials, he also emphasizes that Central America was the scene of the first attempt to apply the famous New Laws. Although that legislation was not fully implemented, the reformist judge Alonso Lopez de Cerrato made significant improvements in labor conditions, in the face of furious opposition from the Spanish settlers. Aside from it discussion of labor practices, this account deals with population figures and the extent of the slave trade, and corrects a number of errors in traditional sources. In addition, Spanish Indian policy, particularly at the local level, is examined…

45 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") issued in wrappers. Edited by Luis Vargas Rea. From the library of professor George M Foster. First edition limited to 100 copies.George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of…
