    "The basic theme is a comparison of the strategies of two recognized masters of the art of guerrilla warfare. Using as principal sources the writings of Mao Tse-tung and T.E. Lawrence, a study is conducted of the similarities of their strategies. It is noted that within similar time frames of age and experience and dissimilar parameters of environment, resources and personal ambitions, closely identical strategies for the achievement of separate goals were produced."--Author's abstract.

    The first Westerner to meet Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communist leaders in 1936, Edgar Snow came away with an authorized account of Mao's life, as well as a history of the famous Long March and the men and women who were responsible for the Chinese revolution.

    Pretty Pets Painting Books. Six Kinds, All Different

    Visual Materials

    One set of painting books entitled Pretty Pets Painting Books. Six Kinds, All Different, published by Saml. Grabriel Sons & Company, New York, ca. 1910. Only three of the six remain; these are Nos. 1, 4, and 6. Each of the books is 22 unnumbered pages in length (including the insides of the front and back covers), and contain a combination of outline images for coloring or painting and their color prototypes. The number of each book is printed in the lower right-hand corner of the front cover, opposite the publisher's name in the lower left-hand corner. All of the images for coloring are of children, and some of the images are repeated within each book. Most of the images in each of the three booklets have been colored, in crayon or in watercolor. The embossed ownership stamp of "Lillian F. Loveitt, 344 Preble Street, South Portland, ME" is on the front cover of each of the three books, and on some of the interior pages of booklet No. 1. Two of the three booklets also contain names of children depicted written below the image (in ms.), presumably Lillian Loveitt wrote these. The booklets are each in a protective envelope, but were originally housed in paperboard box. The lid is illustrated with an image of three children. "No. 820" is printed on a side of the box. Accompanying these three books are three additional painting books from a separate series, published by Saml. Gabriel Sons and Company entitled Kindergarten Drawing Book, Nos. 3, 4 and 5. Each of these books is 10 pages in length (including the insides of the front and back covers), and contain black and white outline images printed over graph paper, for copying and coloring. The color illustrations on each of the three front covers are against a graph paper background, as with the interior images. Each of the books also contain the embossed ownership stamp of Lillian F. Loveitt on the front cover. Each of these books has been used, to some extent.
