18815571Glasgow: John S. Marr and Sons 1881. First edition. 18x14cm 5 128 plus 1 8pp publisher's ads. Color frontis 2 black and white plates vignette chapter ornamentation. Publisher's brown cloth stamped in black and gilt beveled edges rear cover ruled and decorated in blind. Rubbing along joints and corners light moisture staining and school presentation stamp to ffep front hinge cracked at title and first signature else clean and sound. Very good. <br /> <br /> Very uncommon juvenile work from Scotland about which scant information is to be found. The story concerns Mabel Minnie and Mona two schoolgirl friends and their archenemy who develop and undertake a mission to educate the poor children of the miners living in the row houses down by the pit. The idea is to use gentler methods of introducing Christianity at which the local missionaries and curates have failed:<br /> <br /> "We will take lessons from them and try to avoid what seems to have been their great mistake - injudiciousness; and perhaps showing a little too plainly that they considered them heathen and were determined to convert them at any cost."<br /> <br /> <br /> The book contains themes of friendship and antagonism philanthropy and stewardship faith and hope. However perhaps most interestingly the story explores death and loss as the young protagonists first grapple with the passing of a miner's wife from consumption. SPOILER ALERT Then Mabel becomes ill and Minnie must provide her and others hope as the young girl dies from fever due to a ruptured blood vessel.<br /> <br /> OCLC locates perhaps 3 physical copies of this rare book for the young 19th century reader. .

19059447Bullfrog Nye County Nevada 1905. Two broadsheet menus 26 x 13.5 cm. 1 page each. Illustrated. Two holiday menus for Thanksgiving and Christmas of 1905 from the height of the Nevada Gold Rush. The Christmas menu assembled by Robert Brogelman Chef included Blue Point Oysters Mock Turtle Soup Lobster Mayonaise Oyster Fritters English Plum Pudding Malaga Grapes Hennesy 3 Star Brandy and Josyni Key West Cigars. The Thanksgiving menu included Roast Young Turkey a la Malcolm MacDonald Pumpkin Pie and a Manhattan Cocktail. The Montgomery-Shoshone Mine was a Death Valley gold and silver site discovered in 1904 and in operation by 1905 the year of these Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. In April of the same year the Salt Lake Mining Review declared "the story of . the Mine's company's property at Bullfrog Nevada is so incredible that the bare facts seem clear out of the range of possibilities" page 8. In June of the same year the LA Times reported there were 1300 head of horses and mules on the Bullfrog-Las Vegas hauling freight. These holiday dinners were offered by the founder of the mine the already ridiculously wealthy Mr. E.A. Montgomery and his major partner Malcolm L. MacDonald. A year later the mine was sold to Charles Schwab the steel magnate not the financier Bullfrog was the definition of a boom town. Within a year of the original discovery 10000 people sought gold and pleasure there. "The town citizens had an active social life including baseball games dances basket socials whist parties tennis a symphony Sunday school picnics basketball games Saturday night variety shows at the opera house and pool tournaments. In 1906 Countess Morajeski opened the Alaska Glacier Ice Cream Parlor to the delight of the local citizenry. That same year an enterprising miner Tom T. Kelly built a Bottle House out of 50000 beer and liquor bottles" nps.gov "Rhyolite Ghost Town". By 1908 mine productivity was dwindling and by March 1911 the mine was shut. The Thanksgiving menu has some small grease stains and tape repairs to the verso at two folds. The Christmas menu has one short tape repair to the edge. Still near very good and a rare survival from the apex moment of a town that lasted little more than six years. unknown
