Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Coins Were King: The Coins, Power Struggles, and Personalities That Defined a Nation by Michael F. Moran is a scholarly and captivating exploration of America's rich monetary history, brought to life with hundreds of vivid images and a compelling narrative. Moran masterfully unveils the untold stories behind the nation's coinage in the late 1800s and early 1900s, a time when the coins that jingled in American pockets had real value in silver and gold. The story starts with the great Comstock Lode--a discovery of gold and silver that outshined the California Gold Rush--and fueled a rebound in our nation's shaky paper-driven economy after the Civil War. It gives the inside story of the outsized personalities that fought life-and-death struggles for economic control and political power at the time.Against this backdrop, Moran details the political shenanigans, widespread corruption at the San Francisco Mint, and an unlikely cast of characters: the young, idealistic President Theodore Roosevelt.the nation's most-famous sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens.the energetic, populist leader William Jennings Bryan.the sage Senator John Sherman.and many others who influenced our nation's coinage.Full of rich storytelling and free from overwhelming statistics that tend to obscure the human element of defining moments, When Coins Were King offers a fresh perspective on the economic and political struggles that still echo today. A must-read for history buffs, numismatists, and anyone fascinated by the power of money.Related titles: 1849: The Philadelphia Mint Strikes Gold by Michael Moran and Jeff Garrett, and Striking Change by Michael Moran.…

An attractive item on four unpaginated folio pages, in a bifolium. Uncommon. In fair condition, lightly aged and creased, but not folded. Drophead title: 'No. 8 (New Series) August 1935. / A Broadside / Editors: W. B. Yeats and F. R. Higgins; Musical Editor, Arthur Duff. Published monthly at the Cuala Press, One Hundred and Thirty Three Lower Baggot Street, Dublin.' At bottom left of first page: '300 copies only.' At foot of last page: 'The illustrations on this Broadside are by Victor Brown.' Beneath the drop-head title is the first illustration, of a bird flying above a nest on a branch, coloured in grey-green. Beneath the illustration begins the poem to which it refers: James Stephens' 'The Fifteen Acres', beginning 'I cling and swing / On a branch, or sing / Through the cool clear hush of morning O!' Between the second and third parts of the poem, on the second page, is the score of its music. The poem ends on the third page, and is followed by an illustration, in red, green, grey, orange and yellow, of the pharaoh's daughter finding a baby in the rushes. Underneath this is the poem 'Pharao's [sic] Daughter', 'Attributed to Michael Moran - "Zozimus."'), beginning 'In Agypt's land contaygious to the Nile,'. On the last page is a second musical score, headed 'Tune to "Pharao's Daughter"'. The item is from the Lynd archive, and there are pencil notes to the scores, apparently by Sylvia Lynd. Beside the first she writes 'Good', and beside the second she makes a note of two alternative keys.…
