Today is Independence Day (Brazil), celebrates the independence of Brazil from Portugal in 1822.
I have a historical novel; copyright & published in 1905; called "The Fate of a Crown." The author is Schuyler Staunton and it's about the overthrow of the emperor of Brazil; Dom Pedro II; in 1889.
Haven't read it in years, but I recall it as an interesting read. The author used the names of the individuals who participated in the coup. I have no idea if it can be found anywhere. It would be LONG out of print and probably also off copyright.
Schuyler Staunton was a pseudonym for L. Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz series. Hang on to that book if it is an original printing, it might be worth something!
The Fate of a Crown was reprinted in paperback in 2008, so the Baum estate must be keeping the copyright active. It’s available on Amazon as both paperback and Kindle ebook
Thanks, Dano. Good information. It appears to be a first edition, although there is no mention of any edition, just copyright 1905 by the Reilly & Britton Company in Chicago. Also Lakeside Press, R.R. Donnelly and Company, Chicago. I think Donnelly is still around.
There's a handwritten name in the very front; "Agnes;" who I assume is/was my late aunt, my father's only sibling.
C.H.B., out of curiosity I poked around a bit. It is valuable. It may be worth $300.00:https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30883873933&cm_mmc=ggl-_-COM_Shopp_Rare-_-product_id=bi:
Cook: thanks for doing the research. I'm guessing my copy wouldn't be worth that much; after all, it got "handled" by kids when they were growing up.
Condition is everything. I played around with some rare and/or signed mountaineering books in the late 1990s and into the 2000s. I didn't add many due to cost and I was already putting money into climbing gear. I'm also a long time philatelist, meaning collector of postal history and postage stamps. I didn't "need" a third expensive hobby, if you know what I mean.

Sturgis, covid lessons, and hope*.
*not for Texas or Florida
I really like the 91-DIVOC site and its ability to present data in a variety of ways.
As an alternative to the impression of the article, I put together a view of South Dakota’s trend of New Cases (1 week averages) over the past 8 weeks, with a normalized by population: https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states-normalized&highlight=South Dakota&show=us-states&y=both&scale=linear&data=cases-daily-7&data-source=jhu&xaxis=right-8wk-wks#states-normalized
There are 25 states/territories/district with normalized New Case rates worse than South Dakota’s, now at 49.7/100,000 population. The South Dakota dashboard [ https://doh.sd.gov/COVID/Dashboard.aspx? ] shows hospitalization rates: COVID patients occupy 7.7% of the state’s hospital beds, 24.7% of the staffed adult ICU beds.
Whatever is going on, Sturgis and South Dakota don’t seem to be the greatest part of the story.
Texas women do not need to worry about the new abortion law lacking an exception for rape.
Greg Abbott Defends Texas Abortion Law, Says Goal Number One 'Is to Eliminate Rape' (newsweek.com)
After he's eliminated rape, he will bring about world peace, end climate change and cure cancer.
What happened to Jeffco Pols (and Denver Pols)? Link doesn’t work, and I have a diary that goes in Jeffco.
We don't use the separate URLs anymore
OK…but “Local Pols” is still one of the headings on your Home screen. It just goes nowhere.
Thanks. We'll add it to the punch list of things that need fixing.
