Stewart White (1873-1946) was an American novelist, spiritualist, and conservationist . He was a brother of noted mural painter Gilbert White. White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness. He was a keen observer of the beauties of nature and human nature, yet could render them in a plain-spoken style. Based on his own experience, whether writing camping journals or Westerns, he included pithy and fun details about cabin-building, canoeing, logging, gold-hunting, and guns and fishing and hunting. He also interviewed people who had been involved in the fur trade, the California Gold Rush and other pioneers which provided him with details that give his novels verisimilitude. He salted in humor and sympathy for colorful characters such as canny Indian guides and "greenhorn" campers who carried too much gear. White also illustrated some of his books with his own photographs, while some of his other books were illustrated by artists, such as the American Western painter Fernand Lungren. Theodore Roosevelt wrote that White was "the best man with both pistol and rifle who ever shot" at Roosevelt's rifle range at Sagamore Hill. In 1927, the Boy Scouts of America made White an Honorary Scout, a new category of Scout created the same year. This distinction was given to "American citizens whose achievements in outdoor activity, exploration and worthwhile adventure are of such an exceptional character as to capture the imagination of boys..." . The other eighteen who were awarded this distinction were: Roy Chapman Andrews; Robert Bartlett; Frederick Russell Burnham; Richard E. Byrd; George Kruck Cherrie; James L. Clark; Merian C. Cooper; Lincoln Ellsworth; Louis Agassiz Fuertes; George Bird Grinnell; Charles A. Lindbergh; Donald Baxter MacMillan; Clifford H. Pope; George P.

It was published monthly from 1974 to 2007.[1] The Detroit Free Press described the publication as ""a full-color, slick gay version of Playboy magazine.""[2]Blueboy was originally a small black and white journal purchased in 1974 by publisher Donald N. Embinder. The former advertising manager for the arts magazine After Dark rebranded Blueboy as ""The National Magazine About Men,"" which became the publication's longstanding tagline. The debut issue's cover parodied The Blue Boy by 18th-century painter Thomas Gainsborough.[1]Initially sold at adult bookstores and gay bars, the Miami-based magazine secured national distribution by its fourth issue. Regular features included lifestyle columns, celebrity interviews, film and music reviews, book excerpts and articles on politics, gay rights and gay popular culture.[1] By 1978, monthly circulation reached 150,000 issues.[2] Embinder characterized the readership as some of the ""most sophisticated and affluent"" people in the United States.[3] Notable contributors and interviewees included Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, William S. Burroughs, Edmund White, John Rechy, Patricia Nell Warren, Christopher Isherwood and Randy Shilts.[1]The publication's additional outreach included the gay pulp fiction series Blueboy Library. Blueboy Forum became the first weekly, live forum from a gay perspective since 25 October 1976,[4] airing on WKID-TV in Hallandale, Florida and as a late-night talk show on New York City's UHF Channel 68.[1]Beginning in the 1990s, however, with competition from such gay publications including Out, MetroSource and Genre, Blueboy focused much more on overt nude images, and jettisoned most of its non-pornographic content. The magazine's final issue was published in December 2007.[5]Founded in 1974 by Donald N. Embinder, Blueboy quickly grew to become a prominent men's monthly magazine. The glossy featured some of the LGBTQ community's most prestigious writers and artists -- among them Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, William S. Burroughs, Edmund White, John Rechy, Patricia Nell Warren, Christopher Isherwood, and Randy Shilts. It covered both lifestyle as well as vital political news related to Harvey Milk, Ed Koch, Anita Bryant, and the AIDS epidemic.

Works issued by the Hakluyt Society, Third Series, Number 10. Edited by Richard C Davis. First edition.In August 1844, a heavily-laden party led by Captain Charles Sturt lumbered out of Adelaide, administrative seat of the young colony of South Australia. The Seventeen-man expedition had just been feted at a public breakfast. Soon after, it turned north toward the center of the continent. Among the procession of saddle horses, bullocks, sheep and wagon-loads of scientific equipment and provision for a year, rolled a light cart on which sat a boat. While many geographers had given up te notion of an inland sea lying in Australia's interior, Sturt had not. he set out to find it, doggedly certain that he would discover arable lands and stimulate the colony's pastoral economy. He was equally certain that he would be amply recognized and rewarded for such valuable public service. Six month later, trapped at an isolated waterhole and for surrounded by hundreds of miles of parched land, the party waited for rain. No inland sea had revealed itself on the journey inland; in fact, permanent water of any description was rare. Parched creek beds lay dry for months on end. finally, in July 1845, after having been unable to advance or retreat from the waterhole, the part rejoiced in falling rain. But by then the provisions were all but gone, and the men still faced the long journey back to Adelaide. One man died of scurvy, a debilitating scourge that ate away at the leader as well. Nonetheless, Sturt took a few of his healthiest men and pushed even farther toward the center, until - barely able to stay astride his horse - Sturt order the entire party home. Although he neither found an inland sea nor reached the center of the continent, Charles Stuart's considerable efforts revealed the nature of much of the mysterious land. and in a manner uncharacteristic of his times, he established respectful and cooperative relations with the Aborigines encountered along the way.Condition:Light edge wear at heal edges else a near fine copy in like jacket., Hakluyt Society, 2002, 4, Martina Galunder-Verlag, 2001.

Works issued by the Hakluyt Society, Third Series, Number 5. Translated and edited by J D La Fleur. First edition.In the summer of 1630, Pieter van den Broecke returned to Amsterdam after completing his fifth voyage overseas as a commercial agent for various Dutch companies who were then expanding their worldwide trading networks. Van den Broecke used this homecoming to compose a lengthy manuscript describing his experiences, and to arrange its publication in 1634. However, this published version presented his account in a highly abridge and significantly alter form. The present edition offers for the first time an English translation of those parts of Van den Broecke's original manuscript which describe the four trading voyages he made to Africa in the early seventeenth century. His manuscript is an important historical source because he was among the earliest of Europeans to describe in detail the communities he encountered in West Africa and Central Africa, and the sophisticated commercial strategies of Dutch merchants then trading on the Atlantic coast of Africa. This edition begins with an introductory essy presenting Van den Broecke's biography and places the writing of the manuscript within the context of his professional aspirations. The edited translation of Van den Broecke's narrative is extensively annotated with reference both to other contemporary accounts and to relevant modern scholarship.Condition:A fine copy in like jacket., Hakluyt Society, 2000, 5, xv+248 pages with 16 colour plates (including frontispiece), 6 monochrome plates, 9 maps, appendices, bibliography and index. Small quarto (10" x 7") issued in original dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship Victoria blind stamped in gilt on the cover. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society, Third Series, Number 4. Edited by R J Campbell. First edition.In 1819 William Smith, with a general cargo from Montevideo to Valparaiso, sailed further south round Cape Horn than his predecessors, in the hope of finding favorable winds. He sighted land in 62 degrees South. His report to the Senior Naval Officer in Valparaiso was ridiculed, but on a subsequent voyage he confirmed his discovery, taking soundings and sailing along the coast. As a result Captain Shirreff, the Senior Naval Officer, charted his vessel, the brig Williams, and having put Edward Bransfield the master of his ship, HMS Andromache, in charge, sent her to survey the new discovery. Charles Poynter was one of the midshipmen who sailed with Bransfield. His account of this expedition, which forms the principal part of this volume, recently came to light in New Zealand, and is the only first-hand account of the voyage, during which the Antarctic mainland was sighted for the first time, that appears to have survived. The introduction contains some remarks on the South Shetland Islands, followed by chapters giving a brief look at the history of the Spanish in South America and the British presence in the area, together with the speculation leading to the search for Antarctica and chapters on early nineteenth-century navigation and hydrographic surveying. There were several second hand accounts of William Smith's earlier voyages, and Bransfield's expedition which appeared in reports, journals and books at the time. These are included with brief accounts of other voyages to the South Shetland Islands which took place while Bransfield was in the area, to complete the picture. Poynter's journal explains the reasoning behind most of the names given to land features, some of which were not included in the published accounts at the time. There are also three charts and a number of views which are reproduced and an assessment of the accuracy of this short but remarkable voyage to be made. Finally the chart published as a result of Barnsfield's survey is included.Condition:A fine copy in like jacket., Hakluyt Society, 2000, 5<
