Ack! Quisitions!

Mwah-ha-ha! Books!

At the auction last night, I picked up Douglas MacArthur, "Revitalizing a Nation" (Chicago: Heritage Foundation, 1952), for 5 bucks. Historic artifact, that.

And, more to my own interests, I got "Uncle Sam's Camels: The Journal of May Humphreys Stacey Supplemented by the Report of of Edward Fitzgerald Beale" in the silent auction, for 8 bucks. Brand-new reprint of a 1929 primary document. Too cool. Young Jeff Davis, herdin' camels for the Army in the desert Southwest!

Comments:
Jefferson Davis Hogg? Boss Hogg? Man, that's impressive. Especially considering he could never get them Duke Boys.
