Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book honors the life, service, and passing of Colonel Albert Duane Shaw, a respected soldier, citizen, and politician. Serving as a Representative from New York, he was most recognized as the leader and advocate for veteran affairs as the commander-in-chief of the national encampment, Grand Army of the Republic. The author narrates Shaw's impactful and storied career as an enlisted private in the Thirty-fifth Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, then as a special agent of the War Department, and explores his service as a member of the New York State Legislature and United States consul in Toronto, Canada, and Manchester, England. Through historical accounts and personal anecdotes from Shaw's colleagues, friends, and family, this book captures the essence of a man whose unwavering patriotism, courage, and devotion to service left a lasting legacy on his community and the nation.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. No date, circa 1898. 6" x 9." Twenty-four pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for pencil annotations (appear as highlighting brackets in margins), light age toning (most apparent along edges), a few wrinkles, and a few words are missing on Page 12 (this may be from the original printing process). A Very Good copy. "Reprints from Western Veteran, November, 1898, Topeka, Ks." This is a pamphlet with reprinted correspondence about a controversy involving pensions for members and beneficiaries of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a fraternal organization that was composed of war veterans who served in the Union Army, Union Navy, and Marines during the Civil War. GAR was formed in 1866 and dissolved in 1956 upon the passing of its last member. The pamphlet has a pointed view against Henry Clay Evans (1843-1921), a politician who served as Commissioner of Pensions from 1897-1902. The pamphlet sides with Captain P. H. Coney who supports the prevailing views of GAR and opposes Evans, Major General William R. Shafter (1835-1906) and Major A. W. Wills. Coney portrays Shafter and Wills to be traitorous to their fellow GAR servicemembers and lambastes them for supporting Evans. He also makes a few jabs against Shafter's performance during the Spanish-American War. According to Coney, most of the GAR members are upset with Evans for rejecting pensions to war veterans or widows and children of veterans. Coney vehemently accuses Evans of mismanagement of the Pension Bureau and for disrespecting war veterans. However, correspondence by Shafter and Wills is also included which contains their perspective and counterarguments. In his defense of Evans, Wills states that Evans was seeking to stop pension fraud. According to Wills, there were cases in which unscrupulous pension brokers committed fraud by forging and keeping pension certificates for themselves. Coney counters Wills's claim by arguing that the pension roll is a "roll of honor" and that depictions of pension claimants (and by extension, their representative pension agents) being fraudulent thieves dishonors war veterans. Coney states that such accusers may be envious because they are not benefactors of the pension roll and that Evans's apparent portrayal of widespread pension fraud is false. Coney also criticizes the publication of names on the pension roll and pension resolutions that were passed without the consent of many of the GAR members. GAR, in turn, has plans to forward their own counter-resolutions to combat those supported by Evans. Toward the end of this pamphlet are brief correspondence by Albert D. Shaw (1841-1901), a Union Army veteran, Commander-in-Chief of GAR, and politician, and Charles Curtis (1860-1936), a Congressman who would later become the first Indigenous politician to become Vice President (1929-1933) and Senate Majority Whip (1924-1929). Both Shaw and Curtis express clear support for GAR veterans and beneficiaries and the granting of pensions. Curtis's correspondence reads, "I think Mr. Evans has made some very serious mistakes since he has been in charge of the Pension Bureau. I am glad the soldiers took this matter up at the National Encampment and that they intend to present it to the President [William McKinley]. He is their comrade and friend and I am sure will right the wrongs done to the old soldiers of this country.".…

Zustand: Good+. On offer is an interesting archive of 20 original 1930s - 1940s handwritten and typed letters 15 or so between Professor C. Calor Mota of Puerto Rico and Dr. Albert Shaw, the well known author and editor [there are a few other letters from others some relating to comment interests]. Incoming letters from Mota and the retained copies of Shaw's letters make for a rare and complete correspondence as the two explore the mid Wars and pre World War II era. Historians and researchers of Pan Americanism and American Exceptionalism will find Shaw's comments fascinating. Here are some snippets: I am attending the Inter-American conference of the Caribbean as a delegate of Puerto Rico and also invited by the Government of the Dominican Republic. Yesterday we had the inaugural session, Dr Emilio Del Toro, Chief Justice of Puerto Rico is the official delegate from the US Government. The conference will close June 6thI wish to acknowledge receipt of the two books entitled Bolivar Political Thought and France and Latin American Independence, they are very useful in my work to promote continental solidarity and Inter American good willIt is indeed lamentable to see a world in War because of the lust for power of a militarist like Hitler who thought that it was easy for him to conquer an unprepared world which loved to live in peace. Thanks to American Ideals, the world will be safe for democracy and as in the last war of 1914-1914 America stands firm for justice and liberty. The fight will be hard and ruthless and unless the German people defeats by internal revolt those in power now and which controls the German Government as they did during the last war, the war that the American nations have stuck together in this world crisis, thanks to the good neighbor policy developed by President Roosevelt. Pan Americanism is now accomplished fact and I hope that future administrations will maintain it at high level as it is now" Overall G+. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Manuscript. …
