Rare Books
"For 24 years the Farm Midwives have been at the forefront of the worldwide midwifery movement. Our statistics for more than 1900 births have demonstrated that the birth process works best when women are able to give birth attended by midwives who provide care that is truly women-centered. We are dedicated to passing on the knowledge and skills that we have learned over the years to the midwives of the future. Our conference this year will feature workshops taught by leading women in the midwifery movement as well as several sessions that will teach NARM-required skills for those seeking national certification. Come and be inspired by the women who will be on the program. This year's instructors will include Ina May Gaskin, Robbie Davis-Floyd, Anne Frye, Makeda Kamara, Pamela Hunt, Carol Nelson, Joanne Santana, Deborah Flowers, Dr. Heidi Rinehart, Dr. Barry Brown and more"--Page [8].

An important map. MS notes and differently colored lines show various proposals advanced during the discussion of the Gadsen Purchase. The United States could have had a great deal more of Mexico had Congress agreed to appropriate the necessary funds. As it is, the final line was modified as shown in pencil on this map. The treaty line of 1848 and 1853 is shown in red. The first US proposal is shown in green stretching across northern Mexico into the Gulf and around and including Baja California. Second proposal in orange did not include Chihuahua but did include Baja. The third proposal would have included the City of Monterey, but not Baja. The fourth proposal is in red and closest to the actual line settled upon. The fifth proposal in blue would have left a rather wavy border over the area of the fourth in red. Also note that in 1845 the Russians owned the area north of San Francisco. The purchase price of this map was $10.00 as noted near the sticker on the back.
