1940s - 1950s 13-YEAR OLD ALABAMA GIRL DELIGHTFULLY EVOLVING FROM YOUNG GIRL TO EARLY WOMANHOOD ALL THE WHILE WITH THE TERRIBLE BACKDROP OF WORLD WAR II

19420008025BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA. Good. 1942. On offer are 2 interesting 5-year diaries written by a young woman in the southern United States. Spanning 10 year these diaries offer an insight into the world of this young girl. The diaries measure 5 1/2 inches by 4 inches and 5 3/4 inches by 4 1/2 inches respectively. Each has 365 pages and are 20% and 75% complete. The bindings on both are damaged and the cover on the first diary has become detached. The binding on the second volume has been damaged but the covers are intact. All pages are intact. The handwriting is legible. Bettye Jo Smith was born Nov 9th 1928. She lived in Birmingham AL. She begins her diary in 1942 at the age of 13. This diary which covers only 1942 deals with the events and interests that would matter to a 13 year-old girl. Top of the list would be boys and she mentions several who interest her: Gordon Wilder came home from the Navy today on a 15 day leave Mmmmmmmm Oct 15 1942 Gordon called me up this morning it sure did sound good to hear his voice again. My heart went Potatoe Tomatoe Potatoe! Oct 17 1942 . Today is my 14th birthday . I cried myself to sleep last night and woke up crying this morning because Gordon left. It sounds silly but it wasn't to me. Nov 9 1942. The second diary picks up in January 1948 when she is 20 years old. Being single and unmarried is very much on her mind. She begins the new year in 1951 with: Here I am starting another year as a 'Miss' instead of 'Mrs' Oh well. I'll just keep trying. That's all I can do. . Jan 1 1951. And try she does as many entries attest. There is a letter attached about how much she loves 'Howard' dated Jan 17 1948. But 2 years later on Jan 21st she meets Arlin Rye for the first time. Over the next two years her entries are full of references to him and a note slipped in between some pages shows that she and Arlin were later married. Entries throughout this volume are replete with references to friends and family and social events especially church. She is working but never specifies her job. The fact that she celebrates paydays only suggests that her job was merely a placeholder until she was married. From references to her friends it is obvious that she is not the only one who feels this way. These two diaries would be of great interest to a social historian or a Women's Studies researcher. They very clearly illustrate an important aspect of the social life of young women in mid-20th century America.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES ALABAMA AMERICAN SOUTH DEEP SOUTH POST DEPRESSION DIXIE SOUTHERN STATES JEFFERSON COUNTY BIRMINGHAM AL 1940S 1950S WARTIME PERIOD POSTWAR PERIOD YOUTHS YOUNG PEOPLE WOMEN IN 1950S BETTYE JO SMITH; ARLIN RYE; WOMEN'S STUDIES SOCIAL STUDIES 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 . unknown

1905 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG AMERICAN GIRL ON HER WAY TO STUDY PIANO AT ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS MUSIC CONSERVATORIES

19050001938BERLIN GERMANY. Good. 1905. On offer is an interesting original 1905 manuscript diary handwritten by a young woman identified on the inside cover by the initials F.M.B. We believe the 'B' stands for Buettner the surname name of her uncle. Researchers and historians will have many many clues to use to confirm or deny as she is prodigious mentioning the names of all she comes in contact with. The diary starts off with our author and her friend Gertrude in the States heading to St. Louis through Burlington on board the train. They are heading to New York to catch the ocean liner Kronprinz Wilhelm which takes them to Berlin Germany. The reason our author is heading to Europe is because she is to study piano we believe at the famed Stern Conservatory in Berlin under the tutorship of Professor Gustav Hollaender. There are 109 well filed handwritten pages and the first 13 pages have to do with her trip to New York and on the ship and the rest have to do with her time in Germany. She is a wonderful writer - here are some snippets: 1905 "It has always been my ambition to make a trip to Europe for a combined visit for pleasure and study. How often have I longed for a time when everyday would be a holiday. Now in the year 1905 it seems that my dream is to come true for Thursday July 27th finds me leaving home and dear one for a year beyond the deep blue sea. Gertrude and I leave at 10 in the morning and go to St. Louis via Burlington. The day is cool and rainy. Paul met us at the depot at 5:50 and we took the Suburban RR for his home. I had to wear a white handkerchief tied around my arm so he would recognize us. It began to pour and we had a terrible experience walking at least 8 blocks in mud and high weeds. Our arms and hands were nearly out of joint carrying so many thingsshe goes on to talk about her nights stay at Paul's home until they left the next morning at 8:20 on the "Big Four".Indianapolis Indiana has a large depot. Ate supper on the dining car $1.00. Train went so fast that a swell colored waiter lost his balance and nearly fell on me. Changed trains at Cleveland Ohio at 11 o'clock at night." "August 1st We got up on this memorable day at 5 o'clock and managed to dress very nicely. I wore a short black skirt a plaid silk waist a white cap white gloves and a light blue veil. The night before we had a shower of letters from our loved ones. Another surprise was that Ger---name was put on the door slate as Elsie. When we entered our cabin we saw 2 steamer chairs which had been sent to us by Mr. Wallace. The steamer left the pier at 8 o'clock and I had a bad spell of crying. But I tried to be brave and soon felt fine. We passed the beautiful Statue of Liberty. We have a fine place on deck for our chairs also a fine place at `1st table. No land in sight at 9 o'clock. Saw the pilot leave the ship. My number at the table is 163. Gertrude is on one side and a young man on other. The napkins at the table are about 1 mile square. There is no drinking water anywhere last night and Ger and I took two good swallows of "schnapps". I was the only woman at the table." "August 3rd Very damp in the morning. Spent day with Mr. and Mrs. Noel. In the eve Mr. Tarr took me to the first cabin to hear the concert. I saw the beautiful parlors library dining room etc. we promenaded for a while and then sat on upper deck and talked. At 9 o'clock I went to the eve concert in our cabin with Mr. and Mrs. Noel and had a fine time." "August 5th Took pictures. The dog "Noble" sat on my lap what a wonder! Remember the "slop barrel". A case of small pox in 1st cabin reported. Ma Tarr brought me some peanuts. The fellow we call "The Anarchist" and who is looking for a wife makes great efforts to cultivate my acquaintances. Went to the eve concert with Mr. and Mrs. Noel." In Bremerhaven they take a few weeks I believe to see the sights and on August 30th she writes: "The day started in with a heavy rain. Went to the Conservatory and were ushered into a waiting room. Then the director Prof. Gustav Hollander examined us and told me I have such talent that he would have me take of Prof. Bohlmann instead of Prof. Dreyschock. Price 450 mks. We wrote out our programs at home. In the afternoon Uncle Franz Buettner came over in the eve." HISTORICAL NOTES: "It was a private school in Berlin with many notable tutors and alumni. It was originally founded in 1850 at the Berliner Musikschule by Julius Stern Theodor Kullak and Adolf Bernhard Marx. It was originally founded in 1850 as the Berliner Musikschule by Julius Stern Theodor Kullak and Adolf Bernhard Marx. Kullak withdrew from the conservatory in 1855 in order to create a new academy of sculpture and three-dimensional art. With Marx's withdrawal in 1856 the conservatory came exclusively under the Stern family and adopted its name. In 1894 it was taken over by Gustav Hollaender the uncle of film composer Friedrich Hollaender who moved the school's location to the Berlin Philharmonic concert hall on Bernburger Strasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg. In the course of the Gleichschaltung process the Stern Academy in 1936 was renamed Konservatorium der Reichshauptstadt Berlin controlled by the Nazi regime. Gustav Hollaender's heirs were diseased but for a few years they were able to run a "Jewish Private Music School Hollaender" until they were deported and murdered in 1941. After the end of the Second World War in 1945 the school was again renamed as the Städtisches Konservatorium City Conservatory in what was to become West Berlin. In 1966 it was merged with the public Akademische Hochschule für Musik into the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Berlin State School of Music and the Performing Arts since 2001 the Berlin."

MRS DOCTOR ANSON HOOKER [ANNA WRIGHT HOOKER]Biblio.com

1869 ORIGINAL HEARTFELT HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THE TRIALS TRIBULATIONS AND TRAGEDIES OF A WELL CONNECTED WELL RESPECTED BOSTON FAMILY

18690001732CHARLESTON BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. Very Good. 1869. On offer is a fascinating original post Civil War 1869 manuscript diary handwritten by Anna Wright Hooker filled with entries revealing a keystone year in this Boston woman's life. The year finds Anna and her family headed by her important doctor-husband Anson Hooker at the top of the Boston social scene: she and her husband socialized very frequently going into Boston almost daily. They attended the famous Peace Jubilee in Boston that summer for instance. Dr Hooker was always out tending to people it seemed sometimes in the middle of the night. He stayed with a suicide victim for two days and Anna recorded the sadness of the event a "broken heart" made him shoot himself in the head. The man had botched the attempt. Anna also visited friends often and were friends with the Hales and Bulfinches upper crust Boston families of great regard. There were upper middle class to wealthy people though Anna lived a rather humble life choosing to take on the majority of the chores herself primarily because of her young son. Neddie or Edward also became a famous Boston doctor. In April though the situation changed. Her daughter Martha was taken ill with some kind of rheumatism which left her bedridden and in great pain for weeks. Only opiates eased her pain. About that time also her husband's health began to fail. He first complained of a "lame arm" and began to also have pains and fatigue. He had always been quite strong going out on as many as 4 calls a day everything was a house call then for doctors. But around May he began to show marked signs of failing health Anna's horror and dismay is clearly recorded as she watched helpless as her husband's condition progressed from bad to worse. By autumn Dr Hooker could barely get out of bed. He died in early November and his funeral was attended by hundreds of people. He was after all one of the best known and well regarded Bostonians. All of this is recorded faithfully no matter what Anna's mood. BIO NOTES: Anna Wright 1813-1891 was descended from a Massachusetts Bay Colony Pilgrim family as was her husband Dr Anson Hooker 1799-1869. They married in 1834 and settled in Charlestown Massachusetts where Anson became a very prominent doctor and an alderman for the town among other things. He practiced medicine in Charlestown for 45 years and they had three children one of whom at the writing of this was only 8 years old Edward Dwight Hooker; 1858-1911. This would make Anna quite old at the time to bear a child as she was in her late 40s. She calls him Neddie and he is mentioned every day as Anna stays at home to care for him while her husband is out on calls. She had three siblings Luther Martha and William. Martha married Edmund Boynton. These people figure prominently in the diary being all very close in proximity and visiting their mother Anna's large townhouse in Charlestown extremely often. Hers was a busy life with the day's chores generally being mending she received a Singer Sewing machine in February and raves about it throughout cooking and cleaning as well as tending to Neddie.

ANNE PATEATBiblio.com

1937 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A WHIP SMART YOUNG WOMAN STUDYING ENGLISH AT A WOMEN'S ONLY COLLEGE PARTICIPATING IN ITS TIME HONORED TRADITIONS AND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE GRAND CITIES OF PRE-WAR EUROPE

19370009136MEREDITH COLLEGE RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA NC. Very Good. 1937. On offer is the lovely and interesting diary of a young female art student studying at Meredith College in Raleigh North Carolina. Her name is Anne Pateat and she is quite the character describing her life in a comprehensive and lovingly detailed way writing of her many adventures and readings her thoughts on art and shakespeare and a myriad of other ripe topics for a young womans mind in school to think over. She is obviously quite the student as evidenced by the fact that she is a member of Silver Shield Honors Society Junior Editor of The Acorn a campus literary magazine member of the English club and Field Hockey team and an avid participator in the Meredith College Crook Hunt in which the Junior Class of which Anne and her friends belong hunts for a crook or shepherds staff hidden by the senior class. It is a tradition that has been in Meredith College since 1906 and the diary is filled with numerous attempts to find the crook on campus. When 10 Oclock P.M. came around almost 6 of us started crooking and we were the usual sorry sights. We walked down the R.R. bend when we came to the highway. Maxie leafed around like a kangaroo and some one in a roadster stopped to find out what the trouble was. He went on when we started tearing back down the tracks. The next gentleman who stopped to investigated backed his car up and sat on the tracks and stared at us for several minutes. We were scared to death at first and ran wildly in all directions - but finally we stared him down - still no crook. While at school her life is filled with frequent work for her English classes lots of Shakespeare Robert Browning and other formative authors. In July Anne takes an exciting trip across the Atlantic on the famous Queen Mary to London Paris and then Edinburgh. On board the S.S. Queen Mary and we almost didnt make it! We went down to the dock at 10 to be early for a 12 oclock sailing and lo and behold the thing pulled out at 10:30! Shudder shudder at the thot of missing it! It is quite the most wonderful ship I have ever seen Her trip across the Atlantic is well and humorously noted and when she arrives in England she writes the long awaited day is over and the family is together! And what a family! They took peculiar to me and they primped on me because of the way I talk - so it goes. My first impression was that they all looked pale - but they improve on acquiescence and keep me roaring with laughter. She even takes to calling her family the thundering herd. Her trip makes up the last two months of entries in the journal and contains detailed accounts of everything seen and done in the European cities visited. Boy oh boy oh boy! have we done Paris! The entries stop on August 21 but pick up again September 9th. I vowed to start this little animal again when school commenced and it did in a big way. However only two entries were written before it stops again. Finally on September 20 she writes Im making another brave attempt at keeping this poor thing alive! but only a few days later on October 1st she writes her last entry in the book after which she stops writing in the journal for good. The diary as a whole is an absolutely fantastic look into the life of a strong humorous artistic young woman in the last few years before WW2. Its a fantastic document of Meredith College of pre-war America and Europe and of a wholly unique life. The front and back cover are in good condition showing some scuffing and wear but are still very structurally sound. The pages within are free of major discoloration rips or tears. The handwriting is legible and readable throughout in blue ink. There is some fading of the ink at points but it does not affect legibility. The book is approximately 380 pages in length of which around 300 have writing. OVERALL: VG. Sample text: Friday May 28 1937. The last exam is over and Im a senior in College! Wonderful day this afternoon. I went for my final hour in the library and it felt wonderful. Lee took me down to Macs for supper and we drove around for a little while. Carl was there for supper and was right much fun.After I came back this P.M. I sat in the course and talked.; Friday June 4. Most of this day I have been closeted with Kristen and its got me going - this morning I did tear myself away from it long enough to go to town with Pris and buy me some silk to make a suit and 2 patterns - the things will be real pretty when theyre made up. Every time we tried to get stuff to match the blouse for the suit wwe had to bike out to sidewalk with a bolt of cloth to see if it was o.k. By light of day. At 12 we went to the Doctors Office and I got stuck with a typhoid shot. The only insult I can see or feel is a sore arm - I guess sleepyness is just my natural state. Pris went to a bridge party at 3 all dolled up in a leg bow hat among other things - and she came home without the Prize. Happy has gotten so that she has to be scratched in a very winsome manner - It rained dogs and cats this aft and eve for a while.; Tuesday August 10. Boy oh boy oh boy! Have we done Paris. This A.M. and aft. we took a conducted tour around the city and did Napoleons Tomb hes buried in 6 coffins to prevent desecration saw Heloise and Abelard Mussets tomb a beautiful memorial to the Dead drove around the exhibition etc. This aft. we went to Notre Dame and saw the exquisite rose windows. There are some cardinals hats hanging in the ___ and when they fall from old age the souls of the deceased are supposed to leave purgatory. And this P.M. from 9 until 3 we have done the night life and have we done it! Several cabaret's and ended up at the Moulin Rouge dancing. The floor show there was grand and so was the orchestra. An English girl was the only other girl besides me so we didnt lack for partners. The Champagne flowed without cease. After the Moulin closed we ended the evening at a street side place with coffee at least I did. The Eng. girl was the only one who spoke French so we all had a charming time.

1916 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT WWI BRITISH HOME FRONT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG MARRIED LAW CLERK IN LONDON TRYING TO ENJOY THE IDYLLIC LIFE WHILE FEARING HIS CALL UP TO AN ACTION STATION

19160002106DINTON AYLESBURY BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ENGLAND UK. Good. 1916. On offer is an interesting original and unique World War I manuscript home front relic. Unusual inasmuch as our author who writes from January 1916 to July Chris Grut Buckton of 36 Wellesley Road Harrow on the Hill a law clerk in London makes no effort to conceal his desire and attempts to avoid being called up to the army.Writing is a small precise hand filling each day almost in a Nature Lovers' Diary book foretelling his time spent outdoors and with nature he always comments on the weather mild that year and Mr Buckton reveals an almost idyllic home life like his cottage in Dinton near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire with Hettie his wife but the backdrop on the War hangs like a dark cloud and though he begins writing about how he is looking forward to spending time at the cottage and he seems to have an affectionate relationship with his wife but work is a bit of a soap opera where 'Mr Alfreds' has a drink problem his later attempts to evade a front line posting take on a rather desperate edge. Here are some snippets: January 7th 'Saw Jess today home on leave from trenches. he related some remarkable stories to us. Does not all like the Belgian people.' January 13th 'at Westminster County Court over Italian case' January 16th 'Good sermon in the evening "enrolled to be a soldier". A very appropriate subject as many of us being enrolled' January 17th 'Hettie gave me a little note this evening suggesting giving up the cottage. She little knows the disappointment this would be to me and all the delightful little surprises I have planned for her. January 27th 'Charlie Butcher came to see me today. He starts for France next week. When will this wicked murder of the best of our young lives cease' January 31st 'Another zepp raid on Paris last night two nights in succession. London I suppose will have the next turn' February 1st 'Warning having been given at Harrow at 5.00 of zeppelin raid. Daddu and I just got home in time before the trains were stopped' February 2nd. Getting through Maeterlinck's Life of the Bee. I think it would be more interesting if there had been a few illustrations and a little less philosophy. the raid seems to have done great damage.' February 13th 'Hettie remarked about the general shabbiness of the Harrow boys about the street' February 24th 'It seems quite possible the married groups may be called up for service there by June. Fancy me a soldier!' February 29th 'Hettie looking rather downhearted over my having to join the army.' March 3rd 'Wrote off to the LLCucation dept to enter for training as a munitions worker. If I could do this it would be better for Hettie than joining the army. They are moving along very sharply in their calling up of the married men.' March 5th 'We had another zeppelin raid tonight' March 8th 'Got a form from the LCC today for the munitions classes so I suppose I shall soon be donning the dungarees . in a machine shop making shells. What a prospect.' March 9th 'Attended a meeting of my Law Clerks Society this evening.they determined that all members should be reinstated & that death claims should be met. This to be met by increased subscriptions.' March 16th 'The married men's protest grows apace but I do not think it will do much good.' March 17th St Patrick's Day 'Mr Alfred has gone off to keep the drinkers festival. He will no doubt soak in whisky.it makes me heart sick at times to see the whisky bottle brought out in the office. a formerly courteous and generous hearted fellow to work for but being gradually ruined by the curse of whisky drinking.' 'My thoughts went back to a funeral service one dark December day when I buried all my early and ardent boyhood love in a grave in East London' March 20th 'Mr Alfred came in today as I thought still feeling the effects of St Patrick's Day. His wife almost as bad. When one thinks of the what the children of such a marriage must be one cannot help shuddering and hoping there will be none' March 21st 'Went to a phrenologist today Mr O'Dell in Ludgate Circus and he gave me a delineation and description of my character which is remarkably good and accurate.Hettie read my diaries today and tells me she was pleased. She tells me I once said she wasn't very loveable. I don't remember myself but if so it is quite wrong' March 24th 'Lunched at the Cornerhouse and was much disgusted to see young girls taking liquors and smoking cigarettes. What will the next generation of children be like one wonders.' March 31st 'Another zeppelin raid tonight and we sat up waiting what might come from 9 until 3.30 in the morning when the trains began running again.' April 1st 'read 'Degenerate Germany what a disclosure!' April 4th 'had a delightful evening with Hettie but do not record our conversation. It is too intimate for any but ourselves to know' April 26th 'The call is posted up at last for me to report on 24th May' May 2nd 'general conscription brought in today so I should not have escaped & it is better to have volunteered than to have been forced to serve one's country. Lost my armlet and had to report same to police.' May 4th 'Am waiting eagerly for tomorrow night to see her Hettie again. How I miss her. I daren't think of what the army will mean.' May 26th 'saw Mr Alfred off to Paignton today this morning then walked back through the park. Parties of stalwart guardsmen were being taught to stick 12 inches of cold steel in other human beings. Ugh! It makes one's blood cold to think I might have to go through all that' June 1st 'saw Liet barker today home from the front on leave & he recommends me to write to the War Office for a post as clerk in the Ordnance Dept.' June 5th 'Went with Mr Alfred today to the law Society for my appeal but unfortunately they will not listen to it at all. They cannot consider me indispensable so I shall get no extension or exemption whatever. This means I shall find myself swept into the army maelstrom within a few weeks. Must now look out for some decent corps but am much afraid the specialised ones will be full. . Hettie poor darling was of course terribly upset.' June 7th Had a letter & photo from Walter Richards. he thinks I ought to have no difficulty in getting a clerical post in RAMC but am afraid he does not appreciate the difficulty now.I am farid there is nothing for it but a line regiment & probably the front in a few months time. My neighbour Mr Doyle has got in the Scots Guards & tells me the Royal Flyinbg Corps is open again so shall try for something there.' June 9th 'Went to the Polytechnic this morning to try for the Royal Flying Corps but met with no success as I am not a skilled mechanic and clerks and store keepers are only wanted over 41.' June 15th 'Got out my lantern slides & films so as to make some sort of show of my technical knowledge. Busy reading up my RAMC notes.' June 16th 'Went up to the RAMC headquarters at Chelsea but after waiting half an hour came away no one having taken the slightest notice of me or asking who I was or my business. I might have been the biggest spu going.' June 20th 'Called in at Harrow recruiting office and saw the sergeant major. he tells me there is absoultely nothing for me but some infantry unit.was advised to go to Holburn Recruiting Office for the medical examination.got all my papers returned from RAMC with two or three lines that no vacancies for two or three years!! June 21st Got to Holburn at 9.0 Quite a large crowd of fellows already there. Waited till 11.30 when was given a card to go at 2 o'clock. Back to office and did some work and returned to recruiting office at 2 Waited again until 4.0 Saw Queen Alexandria. Upstairs at 4.30 Had to get into one's birthday suit and at 5 was called to parade before the doctors. .passed for general service." "Came out with a heavy heart for I know what this will mean to those at home. There is however something in being fit to serve one's country. Some of the specimens were miserably made. June 23rd 'i got a bit of hope when it appears Mr Alfred had seen a Mr hall who has a friend at the War Office who can fill vacancies in the ASC' June 26th 'Mr hall rings up this morning to say his friend thinks he has a post if I am passed for clerical work but "general service" looms up.' June 27th 'From a letter in Mr Rees' Chambers it seems evident the Boss is out to ruin Alfred altogether. What an end for an old family business!! Largely brought about by drink.' July 4th 'I was able to see the Commissioner and found him quite a reasonable old barrister. he was very sympathetic & practically assured me he would recommend a grant to cover rates and taxes premiums and school fees so this will take a great load off my mind.' July 7th 'Caught the express to Marylebone and was at the office before 11 Mr Alfred did not arrive untile nearly 1. Alfred seems to have gone silly with worry and I can see he will never be any good to continue in business. had to go up to Somerset House& the Law Courts this afternoon probably for the last time.' The entries end in July presumably as he is called up. We note the battle of the Somme begins in July 1916. Casual research finds that a man by the same name lived through until 1940.

GEORGE W OLIPHANTBiblio.com

1918 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT WWI DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN INTREPID SAILOR DETAILING A FRAUGHT FILLED CROSSING OF THE ATLANTIC

19180002343ASEA ABOARD THE USS MOCCASIN. Good. 1918. On offer is a super original ship board manuscript diary handwritten by as inscribed 'George W. Oliphant S. S. Moccasin for formerly the German passenger liner "Prinz Joachim." Father: Charles H. Oliphant 169 Danforth St. Portland Maine." George does a great job as a diarist if a little sporadic at times bringing the action aboard ship to startling reality in his descriptive entries. The page a day style diary has 100 or so entries most of those dated February 7th through April 26th with few other entries before and after starts upon enlistment but before he can join he is trying to get some kind of license and having to go through the courts to do so. Likely regarding his rating in the Navy. The diary goes a long way to show the danger and at times dire hours for the ships and men at sea who served in support of the fighting elements and the people suffering the War in Europe. To that end this ship was a refrigerated cargo ship delivering frozen food to Bordeaux France and the very first trip out there is trouble for the crew and ship which while makes for exciting reading the reality for these brave sailors near fatal. Here are some snippets: 1918 "January 18th Called on Inspectors who agreed to give me my license. My argument evidently worked." "January 30th Went to New York and enrolled as officer in Naval Reserve as Ensign. Ordered uniform and returned on night train." "February 7th Called on Mr. _____and with whom had lunch. Advised him that I could not consider Montpelier job without notifying firm. Decided to drop entire matter until my return from warTook three o'clock for NY. Arriving late. Staid at Saint George Brooklyn.Reported for duty at 4:30 P.M. at N. A. K. to Captain Beckwith. Moved to Hunt's for night and went to theatre with them where we saw Wm Gillette." "February 16th Called on Bowman and advised him that for T.'s sake an my families I would drop the matter about the license tho I felt that I should in justice to myself clear my name of any imputation of impropriety in case such an opinion had been given credence by the Bureau owing to Wilson's jealousy and circulation of false stories about my school. Went out with York of Coast Trans. Line with whom I hope to go across." "February 17th Called on Capt. Thompson and among other things insisted either that he tell Cap. Beckwith of the status of my license or that I do so. He said I might be disenrolled. I told him that I would prefer to be disenrolled to holding a commission under my misunderstanding as to my qualifications. He finally agreed to tell B. himself tomorrow. I advised him that I intended to carry my appeal to Kedfried which he seemed glad to hear." "February 20th 9:00 A.M. Reported on board S. S. Moccasin Captain Powers commanding and then took 24 hours liberty. Went to Anderson and ordered coat. That night with Em. To Kenney's Vaudeville and home to Hunt's at 2 A.M." "February 25th & 26th Mr. Sullivan Executive officer Lieut reported and assigned to me duties of assistant to Executive.Stood 24 hour watch 12 P.M. S. S. Moccasin went into commission. John A. Meagler Ensign reported for duty from USS Jupiter Trenton N. J." "March 4th On duty all day rigging booms etc. etc. 4:10 P.M. Called Police Headquarters reg. theft of pitcher and having found finger prints on saloon rail. Detective appeared an hour later but could do nothing. 8 P.M. Lieut. Goodphile came aboard finger print expert from Police Headquarters and "fixed" prints which were to be photographed tomorrow. Stood watch of Meagler from 6-12 midnight sick. Rain snow warm." "March 11th 9:20 A.M. got under way 4 tugs assisting for trial trip to adjust compasses etc. Stood out 5 miles E. of Ambrose Channel L. S. I was on duty on bridge from 9:20 to 4:30 when we docked South side pier 6 Bush G Terminal. Hit telegraph on head first time after watching old man. Evening Murdock and I took in sights. Flying sign "S" and recognition signal." "March 23rd 1:30 P.M. We left Bush Docks about 9:30 and made way for Ambrose Ch. L. V. the pt. of departure for the convoy to consist of 39 vessels. Formation made at 4 o'clock beautiful day cool but clear. 39 vessels in 6 columns stretching for miles with cruiser De Monies in lead of No. 3. Col. and we 2nd in No. 2 Col. Frenchman leading F'chman dropped out leaving us in lead. Captain gave me 4 to 8 watch Murdock 1 -4 Hennesey and Ryan 8-12." "March 26th On duty at 4 A.M. All alone on the bridge of a 7000 ton ship and the Atlantic for so far as we could tell not a ship was near us. Weather cleared and at 5 I discerned two lights one forward one aft. Whether tramps or neutrals or part of convoy I could not tell. Called old man. Held course and at 5:30 the clouds lifted and scattered all over horizon 20 miles away. I picked up 12 ships. A welcome sight. I took my first sight for Longitude and came within 4 miles of old ____." In the morning 20 ships were with them but they also discovered a leak and had to work hard to repair it. Said it was 15 feet below water line and this is when all the excitement begins. "March 30th Water gaining. A seam is also spreading and you hear the water rushing in and falling in that below. An awful sound to one who realizes its seriousness. A storm might prove fatal to the safety of the ship. Captain suggested the Azores as a possibility." EDITOR'S NOTES: The Captain asked him to keep quiet about the seriousness of the leak but it was very distressing and the storm was getting worse. And he's still standing watch alone. They find out in the morning that they are now 3 miles off course and still in danger he writes: "Wind howling shrieking seas up to bridge 33 feet not a ship in sight. I went to supper when half way there we took a terrific roll 50 degrees and I was thrown clear of my chair for 15 feet hitting the dining table on my back in middle of room. As I passed made a grab for Exec's chair which came up by the roots. I landed on my shoulder beyond the table with another injury than a smashed thumb which the doc. fixed up. Just as I was returning to the bridge a boy came running up from engine room for doctor." A 300 pound structure tore loose and flew across the engine room floor hurting several men and one was yelling that all the life boats were breaking loose. One man came near to going overboard. He says "We worked four hours griping in boats forty cowards shuddering and praying and 15 men doing the work." He goes on to say that the seas were enormous and towered above the bridge 15 feet. Says "It was the most awful experience of my life. I have seen storms and seas but none that compared with this." Finally on April 5th the wind dies down and they meet up with their convoy but not before they end up in the "Submarine Zone" with two messages received "War Warnings." "April 6th Nothing of note today tho the constant vigil and increasing strain is telling on everyone. The least bit of good news by wireless and there is good news only by comparison." "April 7th The Des Moines still missing and in the heart of danger zone 300 miles from land. No lights for two nights no wireless no news." The next day he gets called to the bridge to send an SOS because the ship Cadillac was torpedoed and needs help. Thirty three ships now remained in the convoy. "April 14th The Cadillac ___to be one of our own convoy. Tanker whose position was first in sixth column. She was in sight of Northern ships in convoy when torpedoed and her guns were seen and heard working. 6 P.M. eight more destroyers joined us and by dark there were a total of ten circling around us shooting at their target suddenly stopping ready to blast off here or there whenever she might detect anything suspicious. They were like bloodhounds use to the wind poised ready to spring sniffing and listening for prey. Great stuff." The 4 x 6 inch diary is overall G. HISTORICAL NOTES: "USS Moccasin ID-1322 was a United States Navy refrigerated cargo ship in commission from 1918-1919. She was the third ship to carry her name. Moccasin was built as the German commercial passenger-cargo ship SS Prinz Joachim in 1903 at Flensburg Germany by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft for the Hamburg America Line. When the United States entered World War I on the side of the Allied in April 1917 the United States Government seized her and placed her under the control of the United States Shipping Board for use during World War I. Renamed SS Moccasin she entered service as an American civilian cargo ship. Late in 1917 the United States Army chartered her. The U.S. Navy acquired Moccasin at New York City on 19 February 1918 for World War I use as a refrigerated cargo ship. She was assigned the naval registry Identification Number Id. No. 1322 and commissioned as USS Moccasin on 26 February 1918. SERVICE HISTORY: Assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service Moccasin departed New York City on 14 March 1918 with a convoy for Europe arriving at Bordeaux France on 13 April to unload her cargo of frozen food. Moccasin continued to operate as a refrigerator ship making crossAtlantic runs to Europe from New York until she decommissioned on 2 June 1919. She was transferred to the United States Shipping Board the same day. She returned to commercial service as SS Moccasin later in her career being renamed SS Porto Rico."; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GEORGE W.

1899 - 1911 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF 12 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A VERY YOUNG VERY BRIGHT IOWA BOY WHO EARLY ON SHOWS HE HAS AN 'OLD SOUL' FOLLOWING HIM THROUGH TO MANHOOD

18990001874MOUNT VERNON IOWA IA. Good. 1899. On offer is a fascinating original archive of 12 manuscript diaries handwritten by the personable and charming Glenn W. Hovey. The diaries dated 1899 through 1911 offer a rare opportunity to witness the development of this young Iowa boy from elementary school days to a 24 year old college man on the cusp of following his life calling. Along with the narrative Glenn's writings have the added depth of having tucked in a great deal of ephemera such as newspaper clippings photos documents etc. It is absolutely fascinating to see this young boy grow as his age and maturation progresses so does the writing style and penmanship. Besides the typical daily mundane doings of the day and a young man raised in a good home church and social life Glenn can also wax philosophic: "Jan 1 1903 Goodbye old book. I regret to lose you as so close a companion but you will show me in later years this was one of the best years of my life". "Is the time spent in studying Greek or Latin lost No because one is studying the highest types of civilization ages & peoples that have done things". Very last entry: GOOD BYE 1911. I loved you a lot and you loved me in return. It has been the best and happiest time of life. Have been made more a man. Sunday has been a good long day and I have lived a lot. Went to church at N Park Cong and took lunch in my room then read and wrote some letters. It has been a pleasant day. A big snow storm last night covered everything and made it white. May New Year be as pleasant. Good bye." Sometimes he uses the books for financials. Clearly well educated he had a deep interest in music social times with friends love for family and was very studious. He was mentioned in the newspaper social page several times so one could assume the family was comfortably well off.

1944 - 1948 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG CANADIAN SERVICEMAN IN IRELAND ENGLAND AND BACK TO TORONTO CANADA AND THE HAGERSVILLE SERVICE FLYING TRAINING SCHOOL WITH HIS ENGLISH WAR BRIDE

19440001669CASTLE ARCHDALE IRELAND WARRINGTON UK HAGERSVILLE. Good. 1944. On offer is a unique original 1944 - 1948 manuscript 5 year World War II diary handwritten by a Royal Canadian Air Force R.C.A. F. serviceman named we believe Cross as evidenced by the note: "CAN. R. 97172 LAC. CROSS. T.d. R.C.A.F." on the personal identification page. The diary covers 1944 through 1946 which are full of entries and then just a few for 1947 and 1948. The diary covers this Canadian's service in Ireland at the renowned 423 Squadron Castle Archdale until November 1944 then to Warrington England until December 1944 and then back to Canada to the SFTS Service Flying Training School Hagersville near Hamilton Ontario. During World War II Hagersville was the home of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan station 16 Service Flying Training School teaching trainee pilots how to fly the Harvard and Anson aircraft. This diary offers a unique perspective on a number of levels: on the one hand our writer details the war effort as only an enthusiastic serviceman itching to be in the thick of it will report but then he also provides a fascinating look into the transition from War to peace and his reintroduction into non-service life with his new wife as of June 1944 and then a baby son a year or so later making for a Canadian War Bride story too. Lastly one gets a feel for the home front in Ontario in the last year of the War and shortly thereafter. One fascinating entry in November of 1944 relates: 'Zombies' rioting in Canada burning flags striking officers because of talk of conscription for overseas service.' Here are just a few snippets of the many notable entries: 1944 "January 1st & 3rd Lectures on grenades and drill in morning. OM drill later in morning. Off in afternoon. Wrote letters all evening. Berlin raided again. Tonight 1000 tons down.I was flight commander today. Down in hangers all morning. On drill in afternoon. In camp all evening. Played snooker and wrote letters."

1978 SUPER ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY OF ONE YOUNG WOMAN'S HIPPIE ERA GRAND TOUR OF EUROPE TAKING DRUGS SLEEPING IN TRAIN STATIONS AND MUCH MUCH MORE

19780001771Europe. Very Good. 1978. On offer is a sensational 122 page hippie era 'Grand Tour' manuscript diary handwritten by a young woman named Linda Westergren determined to let it all hang out in the spirit of the 1970s drug sex and rock 'n roll era. Written while in her early 20s the diary is a study in hippie era travel and indulgence and the writer shares it all. The trip to Europe is with a friend and they travel around Europe staying in hostels tents and in train stations. The title page boasts: "Trip to Europe starting July 31st 1978. Written mostly on trains in depots and tents!" They meet several men smoked hashish and pot drank and drugged quite a bit and the writer describes their travels sometimes in a quite rank and salty language. She really holds nothing back. As with so many young people coming out of "the sixties" which many call the age of "irresponsible excess and flamboyance." This diary documents it well. The diary consists of handwritten pages and starts when they arrive in New York City getting ready for there adventures in Europe. Here are some snippets: 1978 "July 31st We arrived in New York about 11:00 A.M. We had to get J.'s youth hostel card downtown so we took a cab robbery. Wrong place! Got to ride the infamous subways twice even. At JFK we had a four hour layover and didn't get out till 4:00 A.M. We were the only ones awake and drinking on the plane. The day a trial in patience!" "August 2nd Arrived in Paris with one change over in Metz France at 8:30. We thought we had troubles before get a load of this! Well this time we had enough sense to exchange our money to francs but we have no idea what they're worth. By noon we were ready to come home. 99 percent didn't speak English the youth hostels are $10 a nite too much and the campsites are too far away. To top it all off we can't figure out how many francs the phone takes. We got a tip on a reasonable hotel but couldn't find the number and there is no information operator in Paris. Lugging our packs 38 pounds around no sleep really and nothing in English we were almost in tears. Well got a hold of the hotel now the subway. Naturally went the wrong way but we made it. Ah no showers. Into the sink we go showers cost more. Feel better! Went to the market and got fresh fruit bread cheese and dynamite salami. Now were getting the "franc" downwith a full stomach and soft bed J's already passed out at 7:00 and I'm close behind. Things are looking better!" Brussels Amsterdam camp site "hash" Copenhagen Tivoli "August 9th Took a train out at 11:19 P.M. last night and arrived at 8 A.M. Didn't get much sleep on the floor. The train was packed. D. was going to Oslo but decided to go with us to Stockholm. Found a camp right near the beach Camp Angby. We're really camping out this time no hostels yet. Right in the middle of evergreens over the rocks and tree roots. We washed clothes on the 4th and they never completely dried so everything was starting to smell and almost mildew. Every time we tried to hang them out it rained so today we had to wash everything all over again by hand. Thank God it was sunny. By the time that was done it was about 5:00 so we went onto Stockholm to get something to eat. We had Wienerschnitzel. I always thought that was wieners but it's veal in Swedish. Then we went on to an island where Tivoli the Swedish amusement park is. Spent the night in a discothèque. All the songs were in English. Not having much sleep the last two nights headed for camp about midnight. D. decided to stay the night so we had three in our tent. It was pretty cold so we kept even warmer." "August 13th Got up early enough to be into town by 9:00 but German's don't care to pick up hitch hikers I guess. Finally caught a ride then by tram and bus and to the depot by 9:30. Too late! The bus that goes down the Romantic Road to Fussen. Left at 9:00. All the stores are closed on Sunday in Germany so there was nothing to do. Well I decided to buy patches of all the countries we go to and sew them on my pack. Also I met a guy on a train that had a real neat lighter I wanted so I looked at all the shops in Wurzburg. Got a couple but it was still only about 1:00. J. and I decided to take a ride rather than sit in the train depot. Off to Frankfurt. No patches or lighter. Still bored!! Got on another train to Born. Nothing there but a Mac Donald's. Get this. They sold beer. So we sat in Mac Donald's and guzzled beer until we were almost drunk. An hour later got on the train to Wurzburg it's only about 4 hours and passed out. Got in at 1:00 A.M. and slept on the train depot floor until 6:00. Looking up at a German officer at that hour I thought he was going to line me up against the wall!" Zurich "August 16th After walking thru Zurich decided to go to Lucerne. Left about 2:00 and got in about 3:30 and went strait to the camp ground. Put the tent up in the mud no grass. It had been raining here too! With that done we went in their rec-room and ate. Shortly two guys from London came in and two guys from the states. They sat and drank wind and beer and ate. The British guys sounded just like B. Shit! We just drank coffee at first then broke down and bought some wine. Another international party! British are even funnier when they slur their words. J. wanted pot and never got any too bad and Mike kept wanting in our tent while J. was in theirs. But he was so loaded it reminded me too much of Evergreen. Still got to look those guys up in London." "Rode with two chicks that drove us so crazy we had to take 2 Actifed's!" "August 20th Slept till 9:30 but didn't get out of the hotel till 11:30. At least the clothes dried all but the jeans naturally. We were going to take a bus but since we didn't really know where the hell we were we decided to take another cab to the train depot and leave our packs. Found out the bullfights didn't start until 6:00 so we had 6 can't add hours to kill. Went to a fast food and had coffee and that's where we met them!! The waiter-bartenders were the nicest looking guys I think I've ever seen. None of them spoke English but we started to joke with them. We had about 4 stiff drinks and were having a good time. Some how we got it across to them that we like them. They got off at 3:00 so off we went with them to who knows where. I don't think it was either of their apts. But probably Pedro's sisters. Our affair lasted only one hour and we were off again for no apparent reason. We asked them to go to the bullfights with us but reasons unknown again wouldn't so of all places back to the train depot and strait to where they worked. We didn't want tot go up to the counter but could see all the lips flapping. It really hurt our feelings. We left without really saying goodbye and stared walking. Hailed a cab to the bullfights which was real fascinating. Only problem was being a little high at first it almost made me sick. After sobering up it was exciting! We got back to the train depot at 10:00. We were still bummed about those guys. Decided to leave them a note but the mission was never fulfilled. Wasted away too much time and ended up missing the last train and our backpacks were locked in storage and by midnight the train depot was closing. We ended up jumping a fence and another fence for a swim in the pool and about an hours worth of sleep in the grass." Barcelona Carioles Pisa Florence "August 31st Unbelievable but true when we woke up W. was with another friend waiting outside our tent since 8:00. Apologized severely for the day before and tried his best to talk us into staying. Broke camp by 10:30 and went with the guys. Stopped for groceries and back to the fucking park again!! Poor sweet S. was so bummed when we left at 1:00. Exchanged address and off to another adventure as they say! Got to Brindisi at 9:15. From a tip we went to get tickets and barely made the boat at 10:30. Met John just before boarding. When on board met she mentions many names and played 20 questions and drank till 1:00. Fell asleep on the deck to the rocking of the boat. Puke no not really." "September 7th Needless to say we missed the boat and Frank said "I told you you would." The girls needed to go into town so decided to give us a lift. It was raining again. 5 in a VW and 2 backpacks we headed down the mountain. On the way down jewel was driving and coming up on an accident she applied her brakes which had failed and ran into a taxi. Didn't do any damage to the taxi but scary had a black eye. Got the bug to the shop mid-afternoon and went to eat. With the weird schedules of the boats and buses we ended up missing the last bus and no ferries that day. By 9:00 the bug was ready and once again headed up to the campsite by 10:00. J. and I thought we'd never get off the island. Built a fire and slept by it till the boys got back at 4 A.M. They had discovered Onzo on ice. Frank was pretty bombed so I kind of gave him a shi-y time and made him sleep in his own sleeping bag. What a bad as- I am. He said he was glad to see me back though." "September 14th Didn't get up till 11:00. Got our tent up in time for it to rain. The guys walked into town and we took a bath in the ocean. Sun never did shine that day. It stopped raining long enough to wash our clothes in the ocean I might add and to take a sh-t. Gathered wood and tried to build a fire. Made rice and meat etc. with ocean water and couldn't eat it. Too salty. All in all the day was a disaster also. The island has no trees! We call it "Skull Island." "A note to myself. I take this vow today the 7th of November to be back in Europe within 2 years!!!" Her friend decides to head home back to the states and she stays awhile longer with the new friends she's met.

1936 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HAND WRITTEN BY A KEEN EYED WELL READ AND EDUCATED YOUNG WOMAN TEACHING IN THE BURNSVILLE AND ASHEVILLE AREA

19360008055ASHEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA. Fair. 1936. On offer is an interesting diary of a young woman living in the far western reaches of North Carolina's mountainous Appalachian region. The diary is in fair condition. The spine has broken but all save the first page remain sewn in. The diary measures 5 1/2 inches by 4 inches and has 356 pages. There are entries for all of 1936 and the first 2 1/2 months of 1937. The handwriting is fairly legible. The only identification of the author is the inscription M. Hensley on the frontispiece. From context we learn that she is a young woman who lives at home and teaches in a local school somewhere close to Burnsville NC. Her life is taken up with activities involving her teaching and some socializing with friends. She makes frequent trips to Burnsville for education activities and goes to Asheville with friends for shopping and entertainment. She reads extensively e.g. Pearl Buck's The Exile enjoys listening to classical music on the radio piano concert by Mozart Metropolitan Opera Company broadcast of Carmen and seeing performances in Ashville such as Tale of Two Cities and Mutiny on the Bounty. She is certainly aware of things happening in the wider world. For example: ". news of a new kidnapping case 10 yr old Chas Mattson." Jan 5 1937. This refers to the famous Mattson child kidnapping in Tacoma WA in December 1936. It was news across the United States and ended unfortunately in the murder of that child - something she noted in her Jan 15th entry. "Read an account of Bruno Hauptmann's execution. I was among one of the many Americans who hoped in vain for a reprieve. The sensational crime is unsolved to my mind." Apr 4 1936. The 'sensational crime' that she is referring to is the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's son in 1932. "The world is all agog over the abdication of King Edward. Ah romance is still alive in the 20th century. Or is it really romance - no-one knows save the abdicated King" Dec 10 1936. One of the most poignant series of entries occurs in April 1936 when she learns of the sudden death of a very close friend: "A letter from Dan brought the dreadful news - the breath-taking news of Emma's sudden death. I am unable to realize it. I can't comprehend it. I rebel against her being taken from me - who loved her as devotedly - my dearest of friends! Why!" Apr 11 1936. "Wretched day. How miserable I feel - I walked 3 miles - Oh Emma if you could only come back to me! How I love you darling. How can I go on without you - my heart is broken so" Apr 12 1936. The raw emotions and feeling lift off the page and transform this diary from a dusty recollection of words from years gone by and breathe life into this indistinct image of a young school teacher in rural North Carolina. A social historian or a researcher into women's studies would find this diary quite valuable in examining life in a small rural area of North Carolina particularly as it was written by an educated and observant young woman.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF M.

1923 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY DETAILING A GRAND JUBILEE AROUND THE WORLD TOUR WITH HISTORIC STOPS IN EGYPT AND THE SUEZ CANAL HANDWRITTEN BY A SUPER WOMAN DIARIST

19230002035ABOARD THE S.S. SAMARIA. Good. 1923. On offer is a sensational original manuscript diary written in a souvenir Around the World Log Book for the Golden Jubilee in 1923 beginning January 24th departing New York aboard the S.S. Samaria to return four months later. The 112 page book which has a scrapbook quality; tucked in are postcards newspaper articles cards the passenger list etc. was handwritten by a super diarist Mariana Townsend a 60 year old woman who has an excellent eye for detail and a great sense of humor that translate to the page wonderfully well. Besides the great narrative this was a historical trip in a number of ways: we learn as she writes in her wonderfully descriptive way that the Samaria was hailed: "the largest ship ever to pass through the 98 miles of ditch" having been permitted to go through the Suez Canal at the cost of $30000. Of particular interests to Egyptologists and historians of post World War I Egypt will find extensive entries of her time there and all the more fascinating as they traveled with a noted archaeologist and then later toured tombs mere months after the discovery of Tutankhamen's Tomb. She also notes the unrest: when she is in Cairo and a bomb goes off and she writes about the presence of all the English soldiers because Egypt has become so dangerous. Uniquely the ship is used as their home base and only occasionally do they stay in a hotel. An enclosed article states: "SAMARIA SAILS FOR TRIP AROUND WORLD WITH 348 TOURISTS: Magistrate Jean Norris will study women and children's courts abroad: Insurance Heads on Ship. The Cunard liner Samaria sailed yesterday for an easterly cruise around the world under the auspices of Thomas Cook and Son. The voyage marks the golden jubilee of their tourist business. The ship dressed in flags of the international code carried 848 tourists representing practically every section of the United States. Magistrate Jean H. Norris who is taking the trip which will end with the arrival here again of the Samaria on May 31 will observe as far as possible the conditions under which women and children live in other countries of the world as well as the manner in which they are treated in courts. Darwin P. Kingsley president of the New York Life Insurance Company accompanied by Mrs. Kingsley and their daughter Miss Hope Kingsley was a passenger. Although he will not have the opportunity of visiting the large financial centers abroad Mr. Kinsley said he would study conditions of the countries at the various points of call and renew acquaintances in Japan which he visited three years ago with the Vanderbilt party. Others on the Samaria were: Forrest F. Dryden former president of the Prudential Insurance Company of America and Mrs. Dryden; Mrs. Stanford White widow of the architect who was slain by Harry thaw; Charles T. Barney of 4 East Sixty-sixth street; Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. De Forest who will visit the Luxor tomb which is now being excavated; Henry D. Pierce of Indianapolis who is making his thirty eighth trip abroad and Mrs. Frank C. Henderson who has visited every country in the world but likes no place quite as well as her home in Roslyn L. I." Mariana attends a lecture by Dr. De Forest the Robert W. mentioned previously while sailing in the Red Sea which she describes in detail. De Forest was the President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art In New York and Tutankhamen's Tomb had only recently been discovered in November 1922. The Metropolitan Museum was asked to help with the excavation and I believe that's why De Forest is heading to Egypt on the Samaria. Here are some snippets: 1923 "January 25th At Sea. My room as I felt pretty miserable till towards evening. January 26th At Sea. Friday a rough day. I came down before luncheon and sat in the lounge. While there my chair and table suddenly pushed itself across the room together with other people and chairs but no damage was done. At luncheon which I had with Mamie at Dr. Maitland's table a terrible big wave which I saw coming slapped against the side of the ship and many people were thrown down and one table smashed and much crockery in the kitchen. I held on to the table and was not disturbed." "February 3rd Gibraltar. From my window quite early I could see the African shore and then the Rock of Gibraltar in the distance. We made an early start for the shore in perfect weather landing on the ocean side. We found carriages waiting for us which held three so I joined a Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft of San Francisco and went about with them. We were driven through the town to the Rock where we were taken up a steep enough climb through the passage cut in the rock during the siege of 1784 by the British where we looked out through openings cut for guns in the living rock. I could not go all the way and saw quite enough to satisfy me so sat down on a step and waited for my party on their downward way and wrote postals dated "In the heart of the Rock of Gibraltar." We saw quantities of fortifications but of course nothing that would really show us anything. All cameras were temporarily confiscated. We went shopping but most of the things came from somewhere else so I did not want them.Returned to the ship at 1 o'clock for luncheon and started for Algiers." She visits the Arab quarters and talks about beggars and women standing in the doorways calling out to you as you passed. Then Naples Sorrento and on to Egypt. "February 11th Alexandria to Cairo. We landed at Alexandria about 7 Sunday morning. The city looking quite impressive as it approaches with its domes and minaret's against the palms in the early morning sky. I saw the sun rise and the city but its outline the city was all that I saw of it as we were put on the train close by the boat and started at once for Cairo. The country was very interesting as we passed. Very green and well watered by irrigation ditches. The water being carried by shaduf's walked by a buffalo each who moved a shaft round and round ceaselessly apparently. There were numerous little villages which at first I thought looked like those in Southern Colorado of adobe but the difference was that though the walls were _____ in appearance the wraps were either of palm leaves or if brick were _____. Almost every village had a large white dome in one part which marked the tomb of someone of rank probably in the religious world. We had luncheon on the train in our compartment but served "table d' hote". About 2:30 we reached Cairo having got quiet used to the sight of camels donkey's with their masters sitting over their hind legs and wearing long shirted garments of various colors with either feg I think she might mean pjr which is an Egyptian word for turban or turbans on their heads and women veiled and unveiled in black chiefly. In Cairo we were taken to Shepherd's where Lydia and I had a room adjoining Mamie's and Marian's. The hotel was as gay as I had been led to expect. Native servants literally swarmed all men dressed either in long white night gowns with scarlet belt and fez or in dark blue and brown uniform gay with gold braid. I never was anywhere where there were so many servants. There were white European head waiters and chambermaids mostly French. The guests were of every shade and color but mostly white. There were very dark Egyptians of rank and an Indian barber with two Indian ladies in wonderful gowns; Spanish French and Italians. The hotel itself if very beautiful with Moorish and Arabic decorations and the present style of clothes are so gay that there was always a brilliant one. At times we saw English officers but here was so much unrest among the natives and white who were in the city General Allenby issued a proclamation that all people in a certain district would be searched for arms that there would be a caravan around this district and that there could be no assemblages of the people. All this was because 14 English men had lately been murdered and while we were there Cairo a bomb was thrown which injured two soldiers. Mamie saw a Dr. Geaney an Englishman who she had employed last year and he told her that "for the first time he must go back on Johnny Bull" as through his work among the natives he saw how the British were treating them unfairly. He had never had any fear in going about even in the worst quarters but now he said for the first time since he had lived in Cairo over 30 years he carried a pistol. Very grand looking Lancers with pennants fluttering from their lances paraded the streets in pairs. We understood that the native police were also under the control of the English.Monday A.M. all four went to the pyramids and Sphinx driving out in a motor over a well made road. At the Mina House we descended and Mamie and I took a "Sand Cart" a two-wheeled affair and the girls took donkeys for the trip. Not long to the edge of the desert. We had seen the pyramids from a long way off and near by they looked exactly as I expected them to look. The Sphinx had more color there being much red in the stone and although she is so battered in her features she has a quiet dignity which is very impressive. Her origin is lost in the history of time no one ever having been able to discover anything about her" "February 16th Through the Suez Canal. It took us 17 hours to pass through the canal with a pilot before us and another at the stern and a rowboat which was attached to the bow but kept over on each side of us all the way through. The bill for the passage of the boat and the attendant's boats was $30000. The Samaria was the largest ship ever to pass through the 98 miles of ditch and extra precautions were taken on the account. She reached Suez at about sunset in time to see the numerous light houses gleam forth but we made not stop. I spent most of the day in my cabin as I had something of a cold. There was great sameness in the view the green water of the canal except when we passed through the Bittia Lakes the desert each side except where the winds had piled up drifts in a few places. Most of it was level with no vegetation or inhabitants except once a caravan was seen. The coloring of the waste of sand over which the clouds of time cast their shadows was very interesting to some people." "February 19th A warm night but not unbearable followed by a warm day but by no means as bad as we had been led to expect. Spent most of the day on the upper deck. At 5 o'clock had the pleasure of hearing with a very few others Mr. Robert de Forest talk of what he saw at Tutankhamen's tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Sukaar as President of the Metropolitan Museum he having had the opportunity of seeing "all that there was to see" there last week. He told us that when the discovery was made by Mr. Carter the head of Lord Carnarvon's work they were so overwhelmed that they called him to ask if they could have the services of the Metropolitan Museum force who were working in the next valley to aid them and that they would gladly pay for their services. Mr. De Forest replied that the whole Metropolitan artifact men photographers scientists and diggers were at their services for as long as they wanted them. Mr. De Forest told in a very simple way of the treasures seen and answered all the questions simply but refused to draw any conclusions as to the history or exact dates as the objects found as they had had no time to really study them as yet. He told us that negotiations were in progress between our government and the Egyptians in which the government of England and France were taking part to settle the whole question of the rights of explorers in Egypt. Hitherto the explorer who always worked without support from the Egyptian government divides equally with the aforesaid government. The men on the ship are all in white today as well as the chairs. A pleasant entertainment in the evening of Indian poetry and music closing with some Indian Love songs charmingly sung by a Miss Holmes." They head on to the Arabian Sea Agra where she visits a deserted city Bombay Colombo Bay of Bengal Calcutta Rangoon Sumatra Port of Batavia Singapore Manila Canton Hong Kong China Sea Magasaki Kobbe Osaka Tokio Kyoto then across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. They spend one day/night in Honolulu then head for San Francisco. Spend a few days in San Francisco and then on to the Panama Canal. That's a fantastic entry as they pass through the canal.

The book does not provide identification but this diary came from a larger archive providing provenance. A total of 220 pages the largish page a day diary is over seventy percent full. Hilton came by his artistic abilities honestly as his mother trained as a painter at the Slade School where Hilton also studied 1929-31. BIO NOTES: One online source: Roger Hilton CBE 1911 - 1975 was a pioneer of abstract art in post-war Britain. He was born in 1911 in Northwood London and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art London under Henry Tonks and also in Paris where he developed links with painters on the Continent. In World War II he served in the Army part of the time as a Commando for about three years being a prisoner of war after the Dieppe raid of 1942. He worked as a schoolteacher for a time after the war also teaching at Central School of Arts and Crafts 1954-56. During the 1950s and 1960s Hilton began to spend more time in west Cornwall moving there permanently in 1965. In the same year he married Rose Phipps 20 years his junior having divorced his first wife Ruth David. He became a prominent member of the St. Ives School and gained an international reputation. He won the 1963 John Moores Painting Prize and was appointed CBE in 1968. By 1974 he was confined to bed as an invalid precipitated in part by alcoholism. His work became less abstract in his later years often being based on the nude or images of animals. He died at Botallack not far from St Ives in 1975.
