McHenry Jones". A remarkably well-preserved copy of an extremely scarce volume. Shelved in Case 3. "Educator, orator, and activist J. McHenry Jones (18591909) grew up in eastern Ohio. A descendant of African American tradespeople and farmers, Jones chose a career in education. He became the principal of the Lincoln School in Wheeling, West Virginia, and then later spurred more than a decade of growth at the West Virginia Colored Institute (now West Virginia State University) as the Institute's president. Overshadowed by a modern fascination with Booker T. Washington, Jones not only remained independent from the Washington machine but also carved out niches in state and national Republican party politics, African American societies like the Grand Order of the Odd Fellows, and interracial religious organizations like the Epworth League. Although the multi-talented Jones reportedly authored a handful of novels, critics have located only his 1896 Hearts of Gold, a rich story of Black life at the turn into the twentieth century." [West Virginia University Press] Maxwell Whiteman listed Hearts of Gold as the thirteenth novel by an African-American author, and while more modern scholarship has adjusted the list, it can still be considered one of the earliest novels by an African-American author. Hugh Gloster concluded that Hearts of Gold was noteworthy because it was the first American novel with a leading character who was the offspring of a lawful marriage between a white woman and an African-American man. A census in 2010 reported only eight known copies of Hearts of Gold, of which this copy was not included. 1351856. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.…

13pp. Dbd. Zustand: Near fine, uncut and untrimmed. 13pp. Dbd. Dated "War Department, January 31st, 1800." Secretary of War James McHenry writes to Harrison Gray Otis, chairman of the House Committee of Defense, on the subject of the construction of military schools, and on the importance of fortifying harbors and the frontier. McHenry writes that the school would be an essential means "to prepare for, and perpetuate to the United States, at a very moderate expence [sic], a body of scientific officers and engineers, adequate to any future exigency." Included is a calculation of the cost of the school. In May of 1800, President John Adams, frustrated over McHenry's disloyalty, would ask for and receive the secretary's resignation. Thomas Jefferson signed legislation to establish a national military academy in 1802. Not in Evans or Sabin. OCLC locates only six copies. Rare. Signed.…
