Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - San Quentin State Prison, California's oldest prison and the nation's largest, is notorious for once holding America's most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates' lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo García, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform.…

Presentation inscription from J. Watson Webb to W.S. Stell ("from his friend") to both volumes; in vol. I, to the recto of the first free end-paper; in vol. II, to the recto of the initial binder's blank. Bookplates of Amos Tuck French (Tucks Eden, Tuxedo Park) and Jay Snider to the front paste-down of both volumes. An explanatory note manuscript tipped in to the first free end-paper of vol. I. Presented in a custom quarter black morocco slip-case with two black cloth chemises by J. Desmonts, J. Macdonald Co., Norwalk, Conn. James Watson Webb (1802-1884) was a general and a newspaperman and eventually an ambassador. He identifies himself as the editor of the account, though bibliographies (e.g., Wagner) attribute the authorship to him. The Amateur Traveler is Sir William Drummond Stewart (1795-1871), who is also fairly patently the title-character. Though Stewart has long been known as the patron of Alfred Jacob Miller, the great artist of the American West, he is being re-examined in the twenty-first century as a chronicler of queer love in the unexplored wilds. Stewart himself had a lover, Antoine Clement, whom he variously called his valet or footman. Stewart held an elaborate all-male Renaissance-costumed fête at what is now called Fremont Lake in Wyoming. It is easy to see the influence Altowan might have had on Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain." Whatever Webb's role in the production of Altowan, he shepherded it through the press in New York and was able to inscribe the present copy to his friend W[illiam] S[horter] Stell (1800-1863), a Philadelphia merchant who emigrated with his family to Manchester, England. The exact connection between the two men is unclear; John Ashton Nicholls recalls being introduced to General Webb by a letter from Stell, so the relationship was doubtless close. The book passed through the family. Stell's daughter, Julia, married Edward Tuck (noted in the slip tipped in to the front paste-down of vol. I), for whom the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth is named. Tuck's half-sister, Ellen Tuck, was married to Francis Ormond French, president of the Manhattan Trust Co. Their son, Amos Tuck French, who in turn became president of the Manhattan Trust Co., came by whatever means to own the books. Jay T. Snider, also a prominent Philadelphian (and former owner of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team), has disbursed at several single-owner sales his collection of important Americana.

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 2 volumes, 8vo (7 1/2 x 4 3/4 in.; 19 x 12.1 cm). Light scattered foxing throughout. Publisher's blue cloth blocked in blind, gilt emblem on front covers, spines lettered gilt; expertly recased retaining original spines, hinges and endpapers, spines gently faded with minor losses to spine ends. FIRST EDITION. The account is based on the travels of Captain William Drummond Stewart, a Scottish nobleman, although it is believed that Webb himself wrote it. During the winter of 1836-1837, Stewart met the young American artist Alfred Jacob Miller whom he invited to accompany him to a fur trade rendezvous, a meeting held annually among traders, Native Americans, and Rocky Mountain trappers. Before reaching their destination at Horse Creek (near the present-day border of Colorado and Wyoming), they traveled northwest along the Kansas River to the Platte, passing such landmarks as Scott's Bluff and Chimney Rock. The rendezvous concluded, they headed for the Wind River range of the Rockies in Wyoming, where they spent time hunting before returning to St. Louis in the fall of 1837. The meeting resulted in the present account and in Miller's comprehensive paintings of trappers and Native Americans in the western U.S. fur trade.
