In den WarenkorbSoftcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. First edition. 16mo. 79pp. Frontispiece woodcut and four additional full-page woodcut illustrations by "Hyde." Green cloth over flexible card wrappers decorated and titled in gilt. Very light wear at the corners of the cloth, a few scattered spots of foxing, very good or better. Insc…ribed by the author: "Hon. Enos Clarke with Compliments of Clinton B. Fisk. St. Louis, Jan[uar]y 15th 1868." After serving as a Union Brevet Major-General in his home state of Missouri during the Civil War, Fisk was named Assistant Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau for Kentucky and Tennessee. The recipient, Enos Clarke was a St. Louis attorney, Radical Republican, and abolitionist. Issued by a religious publisher, the lectures, intended for recently freed enslaved people, are indeed brief, ranging from a couple to five or six pages, and are on simple but instructive topics: "On Freedom," "About Your Old Masters," "About White Folks," "About Yourself," "To Young Men," "To Young Women," "To Married Folks," "Free Labor," "Contracts," "Crime," "Religion," and others. The Freedman's Bureau was established for the relief of freedmen and refugees in order to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical services, and land to displaced Southerners, especially newly freed African-Americans. The politics of Reconstruction and the intransigence of Southern politicians eventually doomed the Bureau's efforts, but not before some good was done. Fisk University was founded in 1866 (as The Fisk Free Colored School), and was named for Clinton B. Fiske when he secured a location at a former military barracks for the school in Nashville, and endowed the school with $30,000. He also helped to establish the first free public schools in the Southern United States for white and African-American children. He later engaged in politics, running for president under the banner of the Prohibition Party. While the publisher, The American Tract Society, tended to publish fairly large quantities of their work, this title stands in contrast as a strikingly uncommon title. *OCLC* locates about 10 copies. The last recorded auction appearance for this title that we could find was in a 1908 auction catalog (with no listed price realized). A significant association joining two ardent abolitionist sons of Missouri. Signed.
