In 1955 he was commissioning commanding officer of USS FOREST SHERMAN (DD-931). Following a course at the NATO Defense College in Paris, he served briefly on the U.S. Army staff in Heidelberg, then became the Head of the Missile Section of the NATO International Staff in Paris, later transferring to the U.S. Embassy to NATO. Returning to Washington in 1960 for duty in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, he headed the Surface Warfare branch of the Development Division. In 1963, he took command of USS SPRINGFIELD (CLG-7), flagship of the 6th. Fleet in the Mediterranean. In 1964, returning to Washington, he joined the staff of the Director of Defense Research & Engineering in the Pentagon, working principally on NATO cooperative programs. Retiring from the Navy in 1967 he established The Crenshaw Company to focus principally on international technology transfer in naval systems.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Uber-scarce in the trade, there being only two copies available currently on-line. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, generally clean, lightly toned at worst, minimal rubbing to extremities, bound in red cloth over boards, silt lettering to spine. Bumping to spine head and foot. A bracing account of the trials of the so-called Scottsboro Boys (Men): Haywood Patterson, Clarence Norris, Charlie Weems, and six others. They were jailed in March of 1931 for allegedly raping Victoria Price and Ruby Bates, two white women. "Disguised in the raiment of the South's age-old inter-racial stepchild," say the authors of this book, "Communism in its blackest form rode into Alabama on a freight train early in the afternoon of March 25, 1931." They write that the State of Alabama contended that two white women were assaulted by "a band of negroes, nine of whom were subsequently indicted for criminal assault." It is not surprising that this wholesale indictment for what is a capital offense in Alabama attracted the attention of the entire nation and those overseas, this sensational criminal prosecution. Unfortunately, most whites felt less inclined to focus on the facts of the matter in exchange for the racial elements. This document tends to want to prove that this feeling is not without foundation, but in fact a lot of premises are faulty and the evidence, wanting. Eighteen black-and-white illustrations augment the text, including bracing clear photographs. Famed New York lawyers Sam Leibowitz and Joseph Brodsky represented the Scottsboro Boys in Decatur, Georgia. The evidence at trial overwhelmingly proved that they were innocent. Ruby Bates recanted her previous testimony in Scottsboro. [13], 14-336 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 208, xx, [1] ; illustrated, 4 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. His wide-ranging achievements made a lasting impact on printing processes, horticulture, and environmental protection. During McFarland's early years, his father operated a nursery and a small weekly newspaper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. McFarland worked in both of his father's businesses as a youth. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

[Second World War at Sea] ORIGINAL SHIP'S LOG. Three volumes. Folio (36 x 21cm). Two oblong cloth-bound ledger volumes with alphabetic tabs to fore-edge. Along with a similarly outwardly unprepossessing calf spined volume with annotated tabs to fore-edge (Strategy, Gunnery, Seamanship etc.) which proves to be a manuscript reference book of how to deal with storms, formulation of orders, procedure for getting underway and a number of other points of naval strategy and etiquette. Within the text of this volume are a number of meticulous ink illustrations and diagrams of engine parts, oil flow systems, filters, pumps and pistons neatly labelled in what I am tempted to call 'Naval Miniscule'. Scuffed, worn and stained (well, they were in a war), internally clean and legible with occasional staining or soiling to margins. The spines of both volumes are torn and repaired. Poor. The two volumes titled "Smooth Log", whilst a little tatty, are internally clean and filled out in pencil (in a number of hands) with meticulous timed and dated records of what happened to Capt. Crenshaw's convoy on any given day. On April 16th 1944, for example, we can see that ship #42, The Canfield "is a straggler, 18,000 yards astern" at 06:50 am; but by 1400 hours it has rejoined the convoy. On the 18th The Canfield has broken somewhere around the Cape Fear Outer Buoy, and that at 10:20 the next morning the Canfield "Accidentally fired 3 inch gun." One can only assume that the captain of the Canfield was really popular with everyone else in the convoy. In addition to this kind of detail are numerous reports of fighters and bombers over the convoy, blimps regularly sighted, numerous reports of armed escorts casually chucking depth charges about, floating mines, ships joining and rejoining the convoy, changes of command (at one point a convoy falls under the command of a British Commodore, somewhere around Gibraltar, apparently an obstacle course of subs and floating mines) etc. In addition are detailed, tipped in convoy charts showing the positions, names and roles of all ships. One volume has colour signal and lighting diagrams tipped in at the rear showing signals for submarines, aircraft and the rather obscure flag signals for "I have cut a mine adrift with my paravanes". these are conspicuously stamped "Confidential and Secret." Each volume is maybe half full of daily reports, perhaps 70-80 pages of manuscript log in all, not counting laid in convoy plans, lists of ships and other bits and pieces. Despite their somewhat salt-stained and dilapidated outward appearance they are inwardly fascinating and provide a wealth of detail regarding Pacific and Atlantic shipping convoys out of the US in time of war. The UGS convoys were a supply and material convoy group from the US to Gibraltar and Casablanca instituted as a result of Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa "and was the responsibility of the USN. The convoys usually formed in Hampton Roads, though some ships departed from New York City and joined them directly after they had already sailed, in which case Hampton Roads would not appear in their voyage records. Escorts in the Atlantic were the USN's responsibility, with British escorts provided from the Mediterranean." "The UG convoys were a series of east-bound trans-Atlantic convoys from the United States to Gibraltar carrying food, ammunition, and military hardware to the United States Army in North Africa and southern Europe during World War II. These convoys assembled in Hampton Roads near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay and terminated in various North African locations as Axis forces retreated from 1942 through 1945." Arnold Hague: "The Allied Convoy System." UGS-43 was escorted by a number of warships at various points, including the USS Sellstrom, USS Tomich and USS Wiseman, both of whom were distinguished destroyers.…
