Occasional List 13: People and Places

By Garrett Scott, Bookseller


Occasional List 13: People and Places 25 recent arrivals that embody some idea of interesting people or remarkable places. The people range from America’s foremost early lion tamer to a stalwart Philadelphia fireman, or from an early two-fisted Portland free-thought divorce lawyer to a 19th century railroad man and proto-Gershon Legman. The places cover such far-flung locales as homes for disabled Civil War veterans to the Delaware river set ablaze by an inventor in hopes of pecuniary gain, or from the biblical beauties of the commercial quarter of Hobart, Oklahoma to the distant missionary presses of Calcutta and New Zealand. (Even the romance of backwoods “Pittburgo” in 1761 is conjured up in a curious fictitious imprint.)

Occasional List 12: Obscure Objects

An illustrated online-only list of 20 objects of high and low culture that somehow embody a number of the preoccupations of this bookselling concern: race in America, sex and/or eugenics, popular medicine, the American endeavor of making a quick buck, and a fine work from a brilliant 19th century outsider poet-artist.
