John Wesley Powell (March 24, 1834 – September 23, 1902) was a geologist, soldier, explorer of the West, professor, and director of major scientific and cultural institutions. He is famous for his 1869 geographic expedition, a three-month river trip down the Green and Colorado rivers, including the first official U.S. government- sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Powell served as second director of the U.S. Geological Survey (1881–1894) and proposed policies that were prescient for his accurate evaluation of conditions. He became the first director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution while serving as director of the U.S. Geological Survey, where he supported linguistic and sociological research and publications. During the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army as a cartographer, topographer and military engineer. At the Battle of Shiloh, he lost most of his right arm when struck by a Minié ball while in the process of giving the order to fire. Despite the loss of an arm, he returned to the Army and was at the battles of Champion Hill, Big Black River Bridge, and the siege of Vicksburg. Powell was the director of the Bureau of Ethnology from 1879 until his death. Under his leadership, the Smithsonian published an influential classification of North American Indian languages. More

London: John Murray, 1990. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 24 cm. [8], 247, [1] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Map, Glossary. Front DJ flap price clipped. Ink notation inside front board. A literary travel across Alaska by dog sled. The author recounts his experiences following the trail used in the Iditarod dog sled race, and shares his impressions of the Alaskan bush and the people he met in his travels. Alastair Scott, the Scottish adventurer, is possessed only of chronic wanderlust and the perfectly beguiling pipe dream to dogsled his way across Alaska, following, for the most part, the Iditarod Trail. He arrives in Manley Hot Springs without dogs, sled, or experience. In amazingly short order, he outfits himself, begins to learn the rudiments of mushing, and one day lights out across the Land of the Midnight Sun. Tracks Across Alaska is the entertaining, humorous, and humble account of Scott's journey through the Alaskan bush. Scott evokes the awesome magic of the landscape and encounters an extraordinary range of Alaskans, from the Iditarod champion Susan Butcher and other dog sled racers to trappers, Eskimos, a bush priest, the faceless fire and brimstone of KJNP radio, and icefisherman on Little Diomede Island near the Soviet Union, and F-15 pilots watchful for encroaching MiGs. Scott's narrative recreates these characters in all their many lively and distinctive qualities, recording events and dialogue with an eye for the timeless, the transcendental, and the telling image. His affection for the dogs adds an extra dimension to his tale. Each dog has its own remarkably unique personality, and the eight together make an unforgettable team. More
Baltimore, MD: The Pride of Baltimore, Inc., 2001. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 27, [1] pages, including covers. Format is 8.75 inches by 6 inches. Illustrations and typography have some color. Chasseur was a Baltimore Clipper commanded by Captain Thomas Boyle, an American privateer during the War of 1812. She sailed from Fells Point in Baltimore. On his first voyage as master of Chasseur in 1814, Boyle sailed directly to the British Isles, where he harassed the British merchant fleet. Boyle sent a notice to King George III by way of a captured merchant vessel that he had released for the purpose. The notice, he commanded, was to be posted on the door of Lloyd's of London. In it he declared that the entire British Isles were under naval blockade by Chasseur alone. This affront sent the shipping community into panic and caused the Admiralty to call vessels home from the American war to guard merchant ships which had to sail in convoys. Chasseur captured or sank 17 vessels before returning home. On February 26, 1815, just off Havana, Chasseur took HMS St Lawrence. Chasseur carried 14 guns and 102 men, while St Lawrence carried 13 guns and 76 men. The intense action lasted only about 15 minutes, during which St Lawrence suffered six men killed and 17 wounded, several of them mortally. (According to American accounts, the English had 15 killed and 25 wounded.) Chasseur had five killed and eight wounded, including her captain. Captain Boyle, of Chasseur, made a cartel of St Lawrence and sent her and her crew into Havana as his prize. On Chasseur's return to Baltimore the Niles' Register called the ship the "Pride of Baltimore" More
