The Marne, 1914: The Opening of World War I and the Battle That Changed the World Lot #23 (Sale Order 20 of 40) Very good condition hardcover. "For the first time in a generation, here is a bold new account of the Battle of the Marne, a cataclysmic encounter that prevented a quick German victory in World War I and changed the course of two wars and the world. With exclusive information based on newly unearthed documents, Holger H. Herwig re-creates the dramatic battle and reinterprets Germany’s aggressive “Schlieffen Plan” as a carefully crafted design to avoid a protracted war against superior coalitions. He paints a fresh portrait of the run-up to the Marne and puts in dazzling relief the Battle of the Marne itself: the French resolve to win, and the crucial lack of coordination between Germany’s First and Second Armies. Herwig also provides stunning cameos of all the important players, from Germany’s Chief of General Staff Helmuth von Moltke to his rival, France’s Joseph Joffre. Revelatory and riveting, this is the source on this seminal event."

RAREST History of Don Quixote (1733) Three Volumes OWNED BY REVOLUTIONARY WAR PATRIOT Lot #30 (Sale Order 27 of 40) Good- condition small hardcovers with wear. Has bookplate of "Welcome Arnold" Welcome Arnold was a well known merchant and ship owner from Providence during the 18th century, and he frequently advertised his shop in each of the local newspapers. It was quite likely he was a participant in the 1772 Gaspee Affair. Welcome Arnold was heavily involved in owning pirate vessels during the Revolutionary War, and lost over 30 of them. He subsequently made sure not to own any vessel outright, but to spread his ownership interest over many boats so as to lessen the risk. ALSO MORE INFORMATION "He's also noted in Catherine Williams' Biography of Revolutionary Heroes: Containing the Life of Brigadier Gen. William Barton and also of Captain Stephen Olney. Providence, Published by the author, 1839, (p95) that Welcome Arnold was known to have been running privateer ships along the East Coast during the Revolution, and loosing at least two such vessels to British interception. Specifically, we find him on a list of owners of privateers in 1782 as owner of the Yorick (Field, Edward, State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century: A History. Boston, Mason Publishing Co. 1902, Vol II, pp424-430). He does not appear in a list of RevWar pension applicants, but, in either event, would've died before such applications were taken. "
