VICTORIA, [Queen] HELPS, Arthur, Editor. HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT MILITARY INSCRIPTION FROM QUEEN VICTORIA TO LORD KITCHENER IN RECOGNITION FOR HIS VICTORY IN KHARTOUM.
Book Description: London: Smith, Elder, and Co., 1884. Boldly inscribed by Queen Victoria in "To Lord Kitchener of Khartoum / Sirdar of the Egyptian Army/ from / Victoria Reg / Nov 1 1898”;. Finely bound in original full green morocco with gilt raised bands, titles and decoration to spine; gilt rule to boards with corner pieces; marbled end papers; all edges gilt. With numerous black and white and colour illustrations.
Lord Kitchener is known primary as the Moustached Recruiting Poster in WWI England, calling Europe to Arms against the Germans. Perhaps the most important and recognizable British Military Figure in the last 200 years.
Kitchener won national fame on his second tour in the Sudan (1886-1899), being made Aide de Camp to Queen Victoria and collecting a Knighthood of the Bath. After becoming Sirdar of the Egyptian Army he headed the victorious Anglo-Egyptian army at the Battle of Omdurman on September 2, 1898, a victory made possible by the massive rail construction program he had instituted in the area.
Kitchener quite possibly prevented war between France and Britain when he dealt firmly but non-violently with the French military expedition to claim Fashoda, in what became known as the Fashoda Incident.
He was created Baron Kitchener, of Khartoum and of Aspall in the County of Suffolk, on 18 November 1898 as a victory title commemorating his successes, and began a programme restoring good governance to the Sudan. The programme had a strong foundation based on education, Gordon Memorial College being its centrepiece, and not simply for the children of the local elites - children from anywhere could apply to study.
Memorials to Kitchener's long life of substantial accomplishments led to tributes worldwide, including the renaming of towns, hospitals, campaigns, etc. He is no less important to Britain and the world than Grant is to the United States. A most historically important gift involving two major players on the world scene.

Donner Party
Very Rare Card with Sea Moss imprinted on the front, and on the back Mrs. Frank Lewis; noted in pencil "one of the Donner Party"
At 8 years old, Patty Reed Lewis was an 8 year old, who crossed with the Donner Party. She became the Proprietess of Capitola, California's grand hotel, and sold these cards in the lobby. Currently, there is a museum in Capitola with a picture of one of these cards, but their card does not have the original sea moss (seaweed), and is in lesser condition. A true relic from one of the Wild West's more infamous events.
