Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiv, 337, [1] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Index. Name in ink on fep. Foreword by Lt. Gen. Herman Nickerson, Jr. USMC (Ret.). "I have been associated with countless service personnel during my lifetime and Sergeant Hamblen tops the list of selfless, dedicated, all-American tough Marines. Words are inadequate to portray his life as fully as he has lived it, but his biography will serve as an inspiration and be a worthy model to be emulated by all who would aspire to be among the few good menâ"the Marines. As one of the âGodfathers' of the Marine Corps deep reconnaissance, it has been a privilege to have known and served with Woody Hamblen. Semper Fidelis."â"Herman Nickerson, Jr. Sgt. Donald Hamblen was seriously injured on a routine exercise in 1962. And though his leg was amputated six inches below the knee, he fought to stay in the Corps and passed every kind of endurance test. Training other Marines for service in Vietnam in the secret Studies and Observation Group (SOG) in 1965, he trained teams of Vietnamese for clandestine missions in both North and South Vietnam. Wounded twice, he served 30 unbroken months of duty. And as far as is known, he is the first and only Marine to go into combat with a prosthesis. Donald Hamblen repeatedly demonstrated that he had the courage, spirit, and self-determination to overcome all obstacles. Major Bruce H. "Doc" Norton, USMC (Ret.) has been a combat veteran, a career Marine, a military museum director, an military history professor, and is an award-winning author of numerous books on and about the Marines. On September 21, 1962, U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Donald N. Hamblen's life changed forever . . . During a routine parachute jump, strong winds drove Hamblen into high tension wires at the outskirts of Camp Pendleton, California. Doctors were astounded that he had survived, but five days later his leg had to be amputated five inches below the knee. For most people, this would be the end of the story. He is one of the few Americans who can document having fought repeatedly in North Vietnam, and by his extraordinary example, he served as an inspiration to other badly wounded soldiers. This is his incredible story of courage, spirit, and self determination. Derived from a Kirkus review: Stand-up, anecdotal reminiscences of one of the Corps' all-time tough guys. Putting his career in historical perspective, and writing with fellow retired Marine Norton, Hamblenâ"a career Marine enlisted manâ"relates his adventures during and after the Korean War and in Vietnam. The author knew rough living, so it wasn't surprising that he was more prepared for the hellish experience of boot camp than were many of his peers. As a PFC, Hamblen was sent to Korea as a replacement. The conflict had stagnated into trench warfare, but the author made his mark as a sniper and in other ways. His memoirs of Korea are detailed, and, here, he gives what's arguably the most underpublicized war in American history some varnish. Several years later, looking for new challenges, Hamblen joined the elite force reconâ"the Marine Corps equivalent of the SEALs and the Green Beretsâ"but, in 1962, he parachuted on to some high-tension power lines and lost his left leg. How Hamblen responded to this accident makes his book's title crystal clear: Recovering, he not only remained in the service but was among four Marines who were accepted into SOG (the supersecret Vietnam War Studies and Observation Group). SOG teams typically operated behind enemy lines all over Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, North Vietnam, even China), kidnapping NVA officers, conducting sabotage raids, and gathering intelligence.

Unbound. Zustand: Good. Three handwritten letters, dating from the mid nineteenth century, regarding land and fishing rights in Scotland, specifically in Ayrshire and Stranraer. Three handwritten letters, dating from the mid nineteenth century, regarding land and fishing rights in Scotland.The earliest of these letters is dated 14th March 1839, and discusses the rights of ramblers to cross a field, and matters of land valuation. Addressed to Thomas Boyd esq. of Dalry, and sent by A.R.H. Bannatyne of Glasgow, it consists of three handwritten sides.Beginning 'Sir, we have received your claim of compensation' regarding 'three acres and 923 parts of an acre, impreial measure, of your grounds [.] and we are instructed to decline it'. He continues 'we undertake, however, to give you a surface crossing in the field, which we think will be found to answer the same purpose of a cattle arch'. Bannatyne discusses the further construction of a bridge in another field, measuring seven feet high, and eight across, and requests a quick answer 'accepting or refusing our offer'.Thomas Boyd of the parish of Dalry possessed a significant amount of land in the North Ayrshire region, with the Boyds first sold land in the area in 1532.The second letter, dated 14th January 1840, is from James Norton and addressed to George Guthrie of Stranraer. It covers a single page, and begins 'the sheriff has returned the cases against the Fishers a week earlier than I expected', stating that 'I doubt if you will ever recover anything from the defenders' and that he hopes there will be no more 'interference with the Salmon Fishing'.To the reverse of this letter is a single page passage titled '(Copy) Interlocutor in Process' and explains 'the Sheriffs great object was to discover whether the defenders were bona fide in their allegations, that they were impeded in their lawful calling of white fishing by being prevented from using those practices which lead to the occasional catching of salmon'. It goes on to observe that their defence is ill-founded, as 'the best place for taking white fish is in the deep sea, and not at all interfering with the salmon fishing'.The final letter, consisting of a single handwritten side, is also addressed to Guthrie, and is dated 31st January 1843. James Hope writes 'I shall be obliged to know if there is any ground for the enclosed account given in by a man at Ballantrae of the name of James McGrigor, against Mr. Hamilton [.] for protecting the water of [sic]'. He continues 'as far as I could ascertain, some such charge was once made some years ago against the late Mr. Hamilton, and I am informed that he refused to admit it at all'.Each letter features the recipients handwritten address.Three fascinating letters offering insight into land ownership and fishing disputes in mid nineteenth century Scotland. Unbound as issued. Three handwritten letters presented in three folding sheets. The first letter significantly age toned, with closed tears to folds, and small losses, resulting in losses to the text. Latter two letters clean and bright. Good. None (illustrator). book.…
