Mortally wounded in action near Richmond, Va. in May 1864 Extremely rare carte de visite with imprint of Vannerson under my eye individual prowess deserving special commendation. Gordon had earned his colonelcy, and when Colonel Laurence Baker was severely wounded on July 31st, Stuart recommended to General Robert E. Lee that Gordon be promoted to brigade command. On September 28, 1863, Gordon was promoted to rank of brigadier general, and assigned to command the North Carolina Brigade; consisting of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th cavalry regiments. Within days he led his command in the Bristoe Campaign, and although he was wounded on October 13th at Auburn Mill, Va., he refused to relinquish command. In Stuart's words, Gordon, continued, by his brave example and marked ability, to control the field. Six days later at Buckland, Va., Gordon again distinguished himself. During the Mine Run Campaign, in November, he had a horse shot out from under him in an action near Parker's Store. He then led his brigade in the 1864 Overland Campaign. When General Phil Sheridan's cavalry made a raid towards Richmond, Stuart's cavalry intercepted them north of the city. General James B. Gordon fell mortally wounded on May 12, 1864, near Meadow Bridge, and died in Richmond 6 days later. His remains were returned to his native North Carolina for burial in Wilkesborough. Gordon was one of a handful of non-Virginians in General J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry corps who had distinguished himself. He performed very capably at every level of command, serving with honor and gallantry, and his loss was deeply felt in the cavalry corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. Wet plate, albumen carte de visite photograph, mounted to 2 3/8 x 3 1/4 card. Card is trimmed. Bust view in Confederate uniform with rank of brigadier general. Backmark: Vannerson & Jones, Photographers, Richmond, Va. Sharp image. This view was taken by Vannerson & Jones in Richmond, sometime between September 1863 and May 1864. This is one of only two known war time views of Gordon. Other than the card being trimmed, it is in excellent condition, and I feel that the rarity trumps the trimming. This is the first General James B. Gordon cdv that I have ever offered on my War Between The States website which I started in 1995. I've only had one other cdv of him, and that dates back to my old print catalog days sometime in the 1980's. Thus I would consider General James Byron Gordon to be an extremely rare carte de visite to find!

Gau Decorations Of Hitler's Germany By: Craig Gottlieb
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Using history as a backdrop, author Craig Gottlieb offers a study of Gau Ehrenzeichen, or District Honor Badges. Although useful both as the first-ever collector's manual devoted exclusively to the subject, this study can also help historians understand the formative years of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP) between 1923 and 1939. Drawing on his knowledge not only of the artifacts themselves, but on a keen understanding of the period, Gottlieb offers a unique view into the pre-war history of Nazi Germany. Using never-before-published photos and drawing from private archives of original specimens of every badge and corresponding award document, Gottlieb answers two important questions: what is a Gau Ehrenzeichen, and why are they relevant to understanding Hitler's rise to power?

Hopi Kachinas: History, Legends, And Art By: Ron Pecina And Bob Pecina
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. The Hopi Indian's rich culture and exciting religious ceremonies continue to thrive. However, outsiders have limited opportunity to witness the exciting Katsina dances and ceremonies of the Hopi, save through the well-known and much prized kachina dolls the Katsina spiritually inform. Presenting work from a select set of recognizable Hopi artists, this book relates the detailed history and culture of the Hopis in tandem with their creative efforts to showcase that framework: from remarkable paintings to the kachina sculptures and dolls that manifest as physical representations of the Katsinam, the Hopis' spiritual beings. These pieces complement the Pecina's studious and informative narrative of chronological vignettes and text based on a careful selection of events in Hopi history, oral teachings of great cultural significance, and legends of the Katsinam. Hopi Kachinas presents a clear and meticulous portrait of the Hopis beliefs, history, legends, their Katsina celebrations, and the personas of the Katsinam. This book illuminates the stage of study for scholars, and is vital for students of the Hopi culture. 155 color images

These localities are organized by how they occur (in sedimentary rocks, in crystalline rocks, in fractures)--a new approach that brings coherence to relationships among similar localities. For each locality, its significance to specimen mineralogy, collecting history, geological setting, origin, and a thorough description of the minerals of particular interest to collectors are presented, based on the latest research and nomenclature. Over 150 clear color photos show some of the finest specimens ever collected from each locality. Similar New York state localities are listed for each featured occurrence. While the GPS coordinates for each locality are provided, this is an introduction to what minerals occur in the State of New York, how beautiful they are, and why they are so interesting. Why have a mere field guide when you can have so much more? 153 color photos, 1 chart
American Indian Baskets: Building And Caring For A Collection By: William A. Turnbaugh And Sarah Peabody Turnbaugh
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Over 750 color photographs illustrate this long-awaited guide for collectors of vintage Native American basketry. Decades of basketry research inform the text, guiding basket lovers to a better understanding of these woven treasures. Clear images and concise descriptions, presented in an extended gallery showcasing hundreds of baskets, delineate specific tribal styles within Native North America's nine basketry regions: Southwest, Great Basin, California, Plateau, Northwest Coast, Arctic and Subarctic, Plains, Southeast, and Northeast. Unique to this book is an in-depth comparison of imported baskets being passed off as American Indian work. The cultural and historical background as well as the influence of the Indian basket craze are also examined. Valuable guidance on buying, selling, and caring for baskets includes a frank discussion of legal issues impacting basket collectors. Rounding out this essential reference are comprehensive regional bibliographies, Internet resource listings, and a directory of American museums exhibiting Native American baskets. 786 color photos
Freeman-mcfarlin Pottery: 1951-1980 By: Nancy Kelly
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. This is the first book devoted entirely to the vast array of wonderful animal sculptures and decorative items produced by Freeman-McFarlin Pottery, located in California from 1951 through 1980. This book contains over 480 vivid photos and vintage catalog pages, interviews with former employees, and a price guide. Learn the story of the overlapping histories of other California Potteries owned by Gerald McFarlin prior to his partnership with Maynard Anthony Freeman, including Tudor Pottery, Rio Hondo, and McFarlin Potteries. The early years are defined by cute miniature animals and plain-looking pottery. Once the partnership flourished, the animals and tableware became larger, bolder, and much more innovative. The history includes two factories, numerous artists, a devastating fire, the sale of the company to International Multifoods of Minnesota, and ultimately, the sale to Hagen-Renaker, a well-known California Pottery, in 1980. 451 color & 36 b/w photos

It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs and it has good medium green color and glaze. It looks as though it was barely, if ever, used.

Although quite often referred to now as a soup bowl, it is listed as a deep plate in the original catalogs. This deep plate has the vintage Genuine fiesta H.L.Co. USA mark on the bottom (see photos) and is 8 1/4 in diameter, 1 3/4 high and guaranteed to be the old, original medium green color.
