PAYNE, JOHN HOWARD

Home Sweet Home

Boston, Lee and Shepard, 1881. cloth. This illustrated edition of Payne's famous song was published the previous year in this format. First published in 1823, this popular American song with its famous line--Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home"--struck a chord with its audiences causing it to be reprinted many times throughout the 19th century though perhaps never as beautifully as in its present state. Bound in dark brown cloth with heavy gilt decoration on the spine and front cover and illustrated with designs by Miss L. B. Humphrey engraved by Andrew, this copy is enhanced by the presence of the original 1881 dustwrapper with a printed front panel and the remainder blank. Expected chipping along the edges but mostly complete without any significant tears, this is a remarkable survivor. Fine, bright copy in Very Good example of the scarce dustwrapper .

PAYNE, JOHN HOWARD; BUTRICK, DANIEL S; ANDERSON, WILLIAM L; BROWN, JANE L; ROGERS, ANNE F (EDITED & ANNOTATED BY).

The Payne- Butrick Papers 2-volume Set.

University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This landmark two-volume set is the richest and most important extant collection of information about traditional Cherokee culture. Because many of the Cherokees' own records were lost during their forced removal to the west, the Payne-Butrick Papers are the most detailed written source about the Cherokee Nation during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the 1830s John Howard Payne, a respected author, actor, and playwright, and Daniel S. Butrick, an American Board missionary, hastened to gather information on Cherokee life and history, fearing that the cultural knowledge would be lost forever. Butrick, who was conversant with the Cherokees' culture and language after having spent decades among them, recorded what elderly Cherokees had to say about their lives. The collection also contains much of the Cherokee leaders' correspondence, which had been given to Payne for safekeeping. This amazing repository of information covers nearly all aspects of traditional Cherokee culture and history, including politics, myths, early and later religious beliefs, rituals, marriage customs, ball play, language, dances, and attitudes toward children. It will inform our understanding and appreciation of the history and enduring legacy of the Cherokees.
