1901 GAR Grand Army Republic Bronze Commander Shaw Medallion Very interesting and scarce bronze
1901 GAR Grand Army Republic Bronze Commander Shaw Medallion Very interesting and scarce bronze medallion. This is a solid bronze medallion made to honor the Past Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, Albert D. Shaw. Shows a profile of Shaw on the obverse and the New York State coat of Arms on the reverse. The medallion measures 38mm wide, 3.5mm thick and weighs 26.9 grams. Shaw Information February 11, 1901, Representative Albert Duane Shaw of Watertown, New York, formerly Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was found dead this morning in his room at the Riggs House. A physician, summoned immediately after the discovery of the body, pronounced death due to apoplexy, probably about two o'clock in the morning. Col. Shaw had returned about 1:30 o'clock from a banquet at the Ebbitt house in honor of his successor, Gen. Leo Rassieur, and before he left the banquet hall had responded eloquently to a toast and appeared in excellent health and spirits. The body was discovered lying face downward on the floor. The features were slightly bruised showing he had fallen suddenly and heavily. After his return to the hotel, Col. Shaw asked for hot water, complaining of indigestion. The water was brought to him and that was the last seem of him alive. His private secretary, Charles E. Glynn of Oswego, New York, had an appointment with him for 10 o'clock this morning, and when Col. Shaw did not appear one of the bellboys climbed to the transom and saw the body in the position stated. The condition of the room showed that the end had come quickly and without pain. The body was removed to an undertaking establishment, to await the arrival of an only son, Dr. Henry L.K. Shaw, who is expected tomorrow, when arrangements for the funeral will be announced and committee from the House of Representatives named to attend the services, which probably will be held at Watertown. Two daughters, one living in Watertown, and another in Brooklyn, were notified. Col. Shaw was a widower, his wife dying just one year ago yesterday. He was the picture of health, of commanding stature, strongly built, with square shoulders and erect figure, which, with white hair and mustache, made him a conspicuous figure in the House. An active worker during his incumbency of the Commander-in-Chief's office, he frequently came to Washington and took a hand in urging legislation for the old soldiers before the committees of Congress. Col. Shaw was born in the town of Lyme, Jefferson County, New York, on December 27, 1841. He was the son of a farmer. When the war broke out he gave up his studies in the Belleville Union Academy to enlist in Company A, 35th New York Volunteers. He served out the full term of his enlistment, taking part in the battle of Rappahannock Station, Bull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and a number of smaller engagements. After serving two years as a private and a noncommissioned officer, he was appointed a special agent of the War Department in the office of the Provost Marshall at Watertown, New York. He remained in this office until the close of the war. After his discharge from the Army, Mr. Shaw entered St. Lawrence University, from which he was graduated in 1867. During the year following his graduation he served as a member of the State Assembly. While serving in that capacity, he was also appointed by Gov. Fenton as a Colonel of the 36th Regiment, NGNY. He resigned to accept the position of United States Consul to Toronto Canada, and in 1868, was promoted to Manchester, England in 1878. In 1885, President Cleveland removed him from office for being an offensive partisan. The Grand Army of the Republic elected him unanimously Commander-in-Chief at the National Encampment in 1890. The Republicans of the 24th District nominated him to fill the vacancy in the 56th Congress caused by the death of C.A. Chickering, and he was elected by the largest Republican vote ever cast in the district. Albert Shaw and his wife are buried in the Watertown Center Cemetery just outside Watertown, New York. The caretaker says it is a 12 person plot but they are the only ones buried there and there is no indication of the organization or high rank he held. His father was Henry Shaw and his mother Sally Ann Gardiner. Condition is very good. Shows moderate wear and age due to being carried in the pocket.

Intelligence in War Enemy Knowledge From Napoleon to Al-Qaeda 387 page, hard-back book, with dust
Intelligence in War Enemy Knowledge From Napoleon to Al-Qaeda 387 page, hard-back book, with dust jacket, titled: ?INTELLIGENCE IN WAR, Knowledge of the Enemy From Napoleon to Al-Qaeda?. By John Keegan, 2003, BOMC Edition, Alfred A. Knopf, publisher. BOOK DETAILS: In fiction, the spy is a glamorous figure whose secrets make or break peace, but, historically, has intelligence really been a vital step to military victories? In this breakthrough study, the preeminent war historian John Keegan goes to the heart of a series of important conflicts to develop a powerful argument about military intelligence. In his characteristically wry and perceptive prose, Keegan offers us nothing short of a new history of war through the prism of intelligence. He brings to life the split-second decisions that went into waging war before the benefit of aerial surveillance and electronic communications. The English admiral Horatio Nelson was hot on the heels of Napoleon's fleet in the Mediterranean and never knew it, while Stonewall Jackson was able to compensate for the Confederacy's disadvantage in firearms and manpower with detailed maps of the Appalachians. In the past century, espionage and decryption have changed the face of battle: the Japanese surprise attack at the Battle of the Midway was thwarted by an early warning. Timely information, however, is only the beginning of the surprising and disturbing aspects of decisions that are made in war, where brute force is often more critical. "Intelligence in War is a thought-provoking work that ranks among John Keegan's finest achievements. Book condition is excellent except for dog chew damage on the inside bottom from corner (see photo). Former owner?s name written on the 1ffp. Has tight spine and hinges. Text block and illustrations/photos are clean. DJ has NOT been price clipped.

The Second World War By John Keegan Great WWII History 608 page, large-format, soft-back book with pictorial cover, titled: ?THE SECOND WORLD WAR?. By John Keegan. 1989, Penguin Books, publisher. Has photographs, maps, and diagrams. BOOK DETAILS: A comprehensive history of the war that explores both the technological and the human impact of the greatest war of all time. Much more than a mere chronological narrative, the history of World War II is recounted both periodically and thematically. Keegan analyzes five crucial battles, each characteristic of a distinctive kind of warfare of the period. This account of WW II, though controversial, is rich in fresh perception, interpretation and opinion. In addition to penning a fast-paced campaign chronicle, Keegan makes a convincing case for the prime motivations of Allied and Axis leaders, pinpoints the practical results of Allied summit conferences and defines the war's geopolitical dimensions. Book condition is excellent. Has some corner wear on the cover. Has tight spine and hinges. Text block and illustrations/photos are clean.
