18760008153<p>On offer is the working log and financial ledger of a sea captain in the Connecticut River and coastal trade moving coal and stone by water between the river towns of Connecticut and larger coastal markets.</p><p>The book belonged to Captain Charles Hubert Bacon 1843-1917. Captain C.H. Bacon was part of a lineage of New England sea captains whose coastal trade in raw materials laid the foundation for an expanding America transporting the stone and coal that built the booming New York metropolis. See biographical notes for more on the Bacon family.</p><p>For nearly 100 pages Bacon's log tracks almost two years of his workload as Master of schooners mainly the George Gillum which historical newspaper records show Bacon as Master for many parts of the years 1876-1879. A further 38 pages at the rear of the diary act as a ledger of the Captain's work-related debts and payments to local tugboats laborers and others providing further insight into the people and boats with whom he did business.</p><p>Capt. Bacon's meticulous record keeping allows researchers to trace his exact routes and the expenses associated with his work. For example on some days he would load up coal at Chappell's Dock in New London CT from FH. Chappell & Co. on the Thames and deliver to places like Gowanus Creek Red Hook and Harlem. He indicates stops at Portland Haddam and Maromas which were hubs for brownstone and granite quarries. He also references stops at other Eastern Seaboard hubs and ports such as Tottenville New London New Haven Wethersfield Rock Landing Essex and more.</p><p>The log is especially interesting for its repeated references to tugboat towing. Captain Bacon frequently notes when his schooner was taken in tow identifying the tug the route or location and the amount paid. He is frequently towed by the O.V. Coffin a steam tug built in 1870 in Philadelphia PA. but he also worked with dozens of other captains and vessels in towing his schooner to its destinations.</p><p>Some of the dozens of other vessels he names are Steam Tugs such as the <em>Admiral Farragut A.M. Smith J. Warren Coulston</em>. He similarly discusses many Steam Propellers such as the <em>General A.E. Burnside</em><em></em> which was owned by Thames Tow Boat and Co. and captained at the time by Roswell M. Waterman. Finally Capt. Bacon interacted frequently with other ship captains such as Master Richard L. Buell who at this time was master of the <em>Gleam</em><em></em> a Sloop built in Brookhaven New York. Excerpts:</p><p><em>"Towed to Saybrook by the tug O.V. Coffin $12.00…"</em> Nov 26 1876.</p><p><em>"Cash for towing in and out of Gowanus Creek by the Hattie Backus $9.00. Sailed from Red Hook to Perth Amboy. Arrived at 3 PM" </em>Dec 5 1877</p><p>Tracking the daily minutiae of a 19th-century coasting captain such as Capt. C.H. Bacon down to the specific tugboats hired the exact routes sailed and the costs for wharfage and stevedores is crucial. It transforms abstract economic history into tangible human reality.</p><p>These hyper-local ledger entries act as the raw unfiltered data of the American Industrial Revolution revealing the true fluctuating market rates for labor and transport that official government summaries often smoothed over or missed entirely. By mapping these granular transactions historians can reconstruct the intricate messy supply chains that built modern cities demonstrating exactly how independent contractors and everyday laborers physically drove massive economic shifts one ton of coal and one block of brownstone at a time. Some representative excerpts follow:</p><p><em>"Towing from Saybrook to Middletown by Tug AM Smith $15.00 Arrived at 12 Midnight"</em> April 26 1877</p><p><em>"Finished discharging and sailed to the Quarry. Cash for discharging 159 tons of coal at is $2224" </em>April 27 1877.</p><p><em>"Sailed from Off Old Field to Layhook Canchored at 2pm R Buell Pilot at Layhook Towing from Layhook to Middleton by the Tug J.W. Coulston $12.00"</em> May 12 1877</p><p><em>"Discharging stone for Samuel Dean & Bro stoneyard in Brooklyn Gowanus Creek…Tow for Help $10.50. Wharfage $6.00</em>" Dec 4 1877</p><p>This would be a highly desirable addition to a collection focused on maritime archives the urban development of New York or the Northeast coasting trade during the Industrial Revolution offering a primary lens into the grit stone and everyday enterprise that literally built modern America.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> The book is leather-bound measures approx 5.75x3.5 inches and contains about 120 pages. It is 100% complete with the majority of the book being Bacon's daily log and embedded financial notes and the final 38 pages being a ledger of financial transitions where he lists debts to be paid and payment dates. The manuscript is written in pencil and is legible. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition with expected signs of age.</p><p><strong>Bio Notes: </strong>Charles Hubert Bacon 1843-1917 was born in Middletown Middlesex County Connecticut to parents Captain Charles Bacon 1815-1902 and Eunice Bridgham 1816-1851. His father was a sea captain for many years but by the 1870 census the senior Bacon had given up sailing for a life of farming which is how the young Cpt. Bacon was confirmed as the keeper of this log book.</p><p>In 1868 Capt C.H. Bacon married Adaline Annolia Bailey 1850-1930 and together they had at least seven children. One of their sons Cpt. Charles Russell Bacon 1871-1937 continued the family tradition of captaining ships on the river and after working his way up was best known for commanding the SS Hartford which ran between New York City and Hartford until 1931 when it was retired and scrapped.</p>
18860008048Boonville NY. Good. 1886. On offer is a very interesting diary kept by a young woman in upstate New York in 1886. Measuring 5 3/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches the slim volume contains about 150 pages including memoranda. The diary portion is 100% complete. The covers binding and pages are all in good condition. The handwriting is legible. Tucked into the diary are three newspaper clippings. These are obituaries published in the local papers. Two refer to the death of her mother in 1914. The third refers to a man who is possibly related to her by marriage. There are also 2 photographs in the diary - 1 is a family grouping and the other is a portrait of a young woman. Research confirms that the picture of the young woman is indeed Jennie Bacon. Interestingly in the same pocket that held the photographs was a folded paper package that contains a small calibre bullet casing. The flyleaf is inscribed "Jennie Bacon Layden NY Jan 4th 1886". Research establishes that she was born in 1870 in Iowa. Her family moved to Lewis County NY at some time in her early life. This makes her 16 when she began to keep this diary. She lives at home on a farm with her parents and her brother Arthur. Jennie Bacon passed away in 1949. The year opens with her attending a local school which she enjoys very much. Interspersed with her daily attendance are the many tasks that she carries out daily: "Pleasant and warm. Up at six. Washed the dishes and went to school. Had nearly all my lessons good. Knit some on my mittens. Got a certificate of vaccination today had a good time at school today. Pa went to Boonville and got the mechanic today" Jan 18 "Snowed and blowed late going to school this morning some drifts half way up the house sides. Up half past seven. Went to school had a very good time but way behind in my lessons. I wanted to stop History but Mr. Wadleigh would not let me. He lent me the history he had" Jan 21. Mid-march her schooling comes to an end and daily entries revolve mostly around the seemingly unending tasks of keeping the house: "Rained most all day. Up ten min past six. Went to school today and it is my last day this term. Felt very badly did not like to leave." Mar 19. ". Sarah and I have worked hard all day. We cleaned the parlour hall closet and cellar . I am very tired tonight" May 21. "Her entries describe cooking cleaning sewing and farm tasks such as milking making cheese and churning butter. ". Did the mornings work then I went to washing got it all out before dinner put away the wash things . ground coffee made biscuits hunted eggs sprinkled clothes in the evening set up my skirt again. I am sure tired tonight" Oct 11. This diary is very well-written and gives and excellent detailed account of the tasks and responsibilities of maintaining a home in rural America in the late 19th century. It is rich in detail. There are a great many references to local people and local places which can provide valuable cross-referencing. This would be a superb resource for local historians or researchers studying 19th century rural life in America and the role of women at that time and place.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1880s GILDED AGE UNITED STATES LEYDEN NY UPSTATE NEW YORK BOONVILLE NY ONEIDA COUNTY LEWIS COUNTY JENNIE BACON GROWING UP IN RURAL AMERICA FARM LIFE SCHOOL EDUCATION SCHOOLS IN 1880s WOMEN'S STUDIES PHOTOGRAPHS AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

1863754L1Anon: Anon 1863. Paperback. Very Good Indeed. 8" by 5". None. A scarce piece of local history in relation to St Andrew's Hall Norwich. Being a letter from Richard Noverre Bacon to the mayor of Norwich Henry Staniforth Patteson. Bound in contemporary paper wraps and held in a custom buckram clamshell box.With the bookplate of a local historian Ron Fiske. Fiske was an architectural surveyor who had a passion for local history. An article for the North Norfolk News refers to Fiske as a 'go-to-man for academics and researchers who wanted to know more about Norfolk's past'. He and his wife bought Morningthorpe Manor in the 1990s which became home to his vast historical library of over 30000 books and pamphlets. This work regards a proposal for a new porch to St Andrew's Hall Norwich. It is written to the mayor of Norwich Henry Staniforth Patteson by Richard Noverre Bacon an English newspaper editor. Bacon was a noted author on agriculture and was an editor of the Norwich Mercury. Bacon is against the proposal for a new porch and refers to it as 'inconsistent' and that it will 'destroy the design of this fine building'. The 1997 work 'Norwich and North-East The Buildings of England refers to a 19th century restoration where the south porch was moved from the next bay to the east. This pamphlet may well refer to this restoration. There are limited resources regarding this restoration. An interesting piece of local history. In later paper wraps. Externally very smart. Light marks to the wraps. Small hole to the rear wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright with occasional scattered spots. Very Good Indeed Anon paperback
