JOS. DELANEY- ALEX HALEY
JOS. DELANEY- ALEX HALEY DRAWINGS, LETTERSJoseph Delaney (Tennessee/New York, 1904-1991) archive including 3 drawings and 2 letters from author Alex Haley (1921-1992). 1st & 2nd items: One type-written letter from Alex Haley on his letterhead dated Jauary 24, 1966, addressed to "Black Dog", discusses his regret in not being able to visit with Joseph on his recent trip, how things are going with his life in general including his recent book (The Autobiography of Malcolm X, based upon the date of the letter) and his hope to write a movie script for the book. He ends the letter teasing him about an encounter with a woman and promises to visit with him "a good long session" the next time he visits New York. Signed: "Every best: Alex". 2nd shorter undated type written letter signed "Alex". Pencil inscriptions on the lower panel with drawing, possibly by Joseph Delaney. Both letters measure 8 1/2" x 11". 3rd - 5th items: Two (2) small matted ink portraits of young men, both signed lower right, 'Jos. Delaney 1966', (9-1/4" x 8-1/8" and 8-5/8" x 6-7/8" sheets) and one small ink and pastel portrait of female, signed 'Jos. Delaney '88', 4-1/2" x 3" sheet. Biography (courtesy of Frederick C. Moffatt): Joseph Delaney was born in Knoxville in 1904. He and his older brother, Beauford, discovered their interest in art by drawing on Sunday School cards. In 1930, Joseph left Tennessee for New York where Beauford was also working as an artist, and enrolled in the Art Students League under the tutelage of Thomas Hart Benton and Alexander Brooke. The subject matter he found there, including the city's landmarks and its people, are the images for which he is best known. In 1986, Delaney returned to Knoxville to live and was artist-in-residence for the University of Tennessee Art Department until his death in 1991. Delaney's works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Chicago Art Institute, The Knoxville Museum of Art, and The Smithsonian American Art Museum. Note: Delaney and Haley began a friendship sometime in the 1940's. In Haley's "Shadowland of Dreams" he writes: "Through him (his friend George Sims) I met other struggling artists like Joe Delaney, a veteran painter from Knoxville, Tennessee. Often Joe lacked food money, so he'd visit a neighborhood butcher who would give him big bones with morsels of meat and a grocer who would hand him some wilted vegetables. That's all Joe needed to make down-home soup. Another Village neighbor was a handsome young singer who ran a struggling restaurant. Rumor had it that if a customer ordered steak, the singer would dash to a supermarket across the street to buy one. His name was Harry Belafonte. People like Delaney and Belafonte became role models for me. I learned that you had to make sacrifices and live creatively to keep working at your dream. That's what living in the Shadowland is all about". Additionally, Delaney was named artist-in-residence at The University of TN, an appointment facilitated by his friend Alex Haley.
Condition:

Talley Family Civil War Archive
Talley Family Civil War Archive Including Diaries of Joseph R. Talley IL 27th Inf. & Charles Talley DE 7th Inf. 6 letters (4 war-date); 13 documents; 3 diaries (2 war-date); 11 banknotes; 2 photographs. 1853-1934. Joseph R. Talley was one of three men of the same name to enlist in Co. F of then 27th Illinois Infantry from the small town of Piasa. This small collection documenting his Civil War service includes only one letter from Joseph describing events near Nashville in Nov. 1862 including brushes with guerrillas and routing the enemy however the two miniature pocket diaries he left behind provide good insight into his activities in 1863 and 1864 the last two years of his service. Talley's diary for 1863 begins in the midst of combat: 3rd day of the fight of Stones River. We found ourselves behind our breastworks. The enemy charged upon us and were repulsed with heavy loss of life and 110 prisoners. No loss on our side. [Jan 2] Heavy engagement in our center. Our troops driven back one mile after being reinforced. The enemy was driven back with great loss of life. We captured the Washington Star battery as darkness ended the fight... Although Talley did not write daily he wrote more during those periods when his regiment was active particularly during the months of March and the late summer when the regiment took part in the Tullahoma Campaign and operations in East Tennessee. In September the Battle of Chickamauga was the most fearsome thing this veteran had yet seen: We marched 7 miles went into the fight at 9 oclock recaptured the 8th Ind. Battery. Our loss 96 killed and wounded. Lay in line of battle all night and it was very cold sleeping. [Sept. 20] The battle began at 9 oclock AM and by 10 it became general the Rebels line being engaged. Our Army was repelled at every point and was compelled to fall back on Chattanooga. More on the Confederate pressure on Chattanooga in October though the diary peters out in November. In 1864 Talley??Ts regiment joined in the Atlanta Campaign and the diary is filled with action from May through August when he mustered out with almost daily entries up to the fall of Atlanta. Here too the entries are brief but they are a chronicle of a regiment that saw action at Rocky Face Ridge Resaca Dallas New Hope Church Kenesaw Pine Hill Peach Tree Creek and Atlanta. The collection also includes a letter from Talley's nephew in Wilmington Del. reporting on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (We had the news of our Glorious victory then came the awful news of the murder of our Noble and Beloved President witch was one of the awfulest crimes ever known in history. I never in my life saw sutch morning as there was for Abraham Lincoln every house in Wilmington as well as in Philadelphia had some signs of morning for him whose name shall pass into history as the Savor of the country...) and it is rounded out with Talley??Ts framed discharge from the service and a miscellaneous assemblage of items such as an ornately printed Masonic membership certificate a deed pension form and an award from the Illinois Board of Agriculture for inventing a horse gate. The photographs include an uncased ambrotype of a child seated in a chair and a handsome cabinet card of a group of women. Of special note are several banknotes representing two periods of collecting: a crisp late-war $10 Confederate Treasury note State of Georgia from Milledgeville March 20 1865; and includes some unusual pieces from the Second World War: a German-occupied Czech 50 Kronen note (1940); a Free French 2 franc note (1944); 10 franc French note Sept. 28 1939; 5 frank Belgian note (1943); and one Rentenmark note (1937); 5 francs Banque de l??TIndo-Chine note from Noumea; plus three common Japanese occupation notes and a Japanese 10 centavos note. An additional post-Civil War item included with the Talley Family lot is a 1934 diary from Wilbur B. Talley a leading architect of the early 20th century and one of the founders of the Florida Institute of Architects. Descended Directly in the Talley Family Condition: Condition mixed with expected wear; diaries written in a very small hand on very small pages somewhat tattered but easily legible.
