- Lot Description
Books about Pursuit of Pancho Villa, Pan Am Exposition of 1901.
Largest Size: 10 1/4 x 12 x 1 in.
This lot consists of two books, one titled Battery A on the Mexican Border and the other titled The Grandeurs of the Exposition, about the Pan American Exposition of 1901.
Battery A on the Mexican Border was edited by Henry W. Stiness and was published in 1916 by Edward S. Jones in Providence, Rhode Island, and we believe it is a first edition, according to WorldCat. Battery A was activated in June 1916 and consisted of troops from the Rhode Island National Guard, it was active along the border with Mexico until it was mustered out of service in November 1916, and it was mobilized at the orders of President Woodrow Wilson to put an end to the raids of Pancho Villa along the Mexican border and to send a strong message to the Mexican government that America would no longer tolerate Villa’s plundering in United States territory. The book includes endpapers decorated by Edward F Walton, rosters of personnel and numerous black and white photographs, it is in good condition and measures 12 1/4 x 10 1/4 inches wide, with wear on the crown, light soiling on the covers, and a couple of loose pages. We found only one copy listed on the rare book website we use and WorldCat lists only ten copies in Special Collections around the world (a library copy at Baylor, the University of Texas at El Paso and two other colleges in Texas, West Point Military Academy, the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pa, two copies in colleges in Rhode Island, and a copy at the University of Arizona), so the book is rare, and the book is selling for $175 on the rare book website we use.
The second book is titled The Grandeurs of the Exposition, it was written to commemorate the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York in 1901, and the exposition was basically the World’s Fair at the time. The text is a first edition that was written by Richard H. Barry and published by Robert Allan Reid in Buffalo, New York in 1901. It is illustrated throughout with black and white photographs that show the Exposition’s major buildings, state and foreign pavilions, midway scenes, and contemporary views of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and there are captions to go with each photo. There are several copies in Special Collections around the United States, including the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., and this copy measures 1 foot wide by 9 1/4 inches high and is in very good condition, with light loss at the top and bottom of the spine, corner creases on the bottom of some pages, and a solid binding, and this souvenir booklet is hard to find now.Condition
