c1917 ORIGINAL WORLD WAR I NOTEBOOK DETAILING THE NEVER ENDING WORK OF A SHIP'S ENGINEER

19170008146U.S. Navy. Fair. 1917. On offer is a fascinating U.S. Navy notebook dating from WWI. The hardbound notebook measures 6.75 inches by 4.25 inches and contains 146 pages. It is about a quarter complete. The cover has the seal of the United States navy embossed on its cover. At some point in the past a number of pages were torn out of the notebook. The handwriting is legible. Interestingly the notebook serves as a record of work on 2 US Navy ships each record beginning from one of the covers. The author of this notebook is Lt JG H.R. Hobson UNSRF United States Naval Reserve Force. He served on 2 ships in WWI - USS Agamemnon and USS Cape Romain. The notebook is a 'Work Book' detailing a variety of maintenance tasks carried out by the Engineering Department of which he was the 1st Assistant Engineer. The USS Agememnon started life as the SS Kaiser Wilhelm II named for the German Emperor. She was a 19361 gross ton passenger ship completed in the spring of 1903. She was designed as a high-speed luxury cruiser for the German shipping firm Norddeutsher Lloyd. In June of 1914 she collided with another ship in British waters and was repaired in Southampton. After she left Southampton war was declared and she had to evade British navy patrols eventually arriving in New York City. When the United States declared war in April 1917 she was in New York and was seized by the US Government. She was repaired from a failed sabotage attempt and returned to service as a troop ship under the name USS Agamemnon. She served until the end of the war when she was decommissioned. Transferred to the US War Department as an army transport vessel she was renamed USAT Monticello. Eventually she was scrapped in 1940. USS Cape Romain was a cargo ship built in 1918 by Bethlehem Steel for the Unites States Shipping Board. She was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. She was used as a supply ship making trips between US ports and South America before finishing the war carrying supplies to the US Army of Occupation in Europe. She was decommissioned in 1919. She was sold and spent the next 36 years working as a cargo ship for various owners. She foundered in 1956 and sank in the Aegean Sea. Hobson's notes list numerous engineering tasks. This sample from May 27 hints at the on-going nature of his job: "Pack Boiler Stop #16 Clear #16 Safety Valve Drain Plug pin-hole in lower end #10 Port W.C. fitting Tag W.C steam pipes on #11 and #14 Boilers Overhaul Hand Gear #3 Bunker Doors Overhaul #2 Ash Hauler Slick Valve & Cock on lower end; Straighten Siphon Suction Valve Stem #2 Pump Room". On the Cape Romain he was engaged in similar work. His notes include some drawings for various fittings. This is an excellent example of the type of daily work that consumed naval engineers on the steam-powered vessels of WWI. Naval historians or Engineers would find that it offers a wealth of detail about the day-to-day operations of the engineering department at that time.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; UNITED STATES; 20TH CENTURY; 1910S; WW1; FIRST WORLD WAR; GREAT WAR; US NAVY; H.R.

1945 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG SOLDIER ENDURING GRUELING BASIC TRAINING TO BECOME PART OF THE NAVAL CONSTRUCTION FORCE OF THE U.S. NAVY THE WORLD FAMOUS 'SEABEES'

19450009133DAVISVILLE NAVAL CONSTRUCTION CENTER RHODE ISLAND. Very Good. 1945. On offer is a unique document of a critical part of the United States war effort in the second World War. It is a original handwritten diary by a soldier J.W. Ridgeway going through Basic Training with the United States Naval Construction Battalions better known as the Seabees. Beginning with his arrival on February 19th 1945 the diary is a detailed and comprehensive account of the process by which young men were shaped and molded into Seabees capable of being both skilled construction workers building naval bases and trained soldiers who could take up a weapon at a moments notice. The Basic Training occurs at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center in Davisville Rhode Island and goes from February 19th to March 21th 1945 right before the authors embarkation overseas which Ridgeway believes will be China. Almost every single day in the month-long training has a detailed and interesting diary entry written by Ridgeway. For the most part the entries consist of an account of activities done during the day and at what time however he does supplement this training log with personal anecdotes of his feelings and of stories told to him by other soldiers such as a lecture by a fellow Seabee who had been aboard a torpedoed ship that sank and who spent 4 days in the water before being found. The diary is 56 pages long and each page has every single line filled with writing by Ridgeway. Names in the diary include: Lonny Amicucci Lester Mut Connie Rhoades L. Yager and others. The diary measures 6-3/4 x 8-3/8 and is in very good condition. The front and back cover are made of somewhat flimsy board and the company that manufactured the notebook isJuniata Composition. The front cover also contains the authors name the School which Ridgeway writes as CMIC - Co. 6B-1 as well as his Class which is Davisville R.I. The pages are still in good condition showing only minimal signs of discoloration and wear. No rips or tears are present. The diary contains 5 loose pieces of paper at the end a continuation of the entry that takes up the last page of the book. These pages are a bit flimsier than the ones bound to the book but they are still in very good condition. Ridgeway wrote the whole diary in pencil which is very easy to read and legible throughout. Some slight fading can be found but nothing that affects the legibility of the words written. OVERALL: VG. Text: Feb. 19 1945. Dod Dodderidge took me over to the bus station at 6:33 A.M. Reported to Federal Bldg. at 10:00A.M. Left on train for Davisville R.I. at 4:55 P.M. Went thru Columbus Pittsburgh Philadelphia New York and Providence. Arrived At Camp Endicott 7:30 P.M.; Feb. 21.

Rhode Island is much colder than Indiana.Chow is excellent and there is plenty of it. We are stationed at barracks D-6 and in our platoon we have 30 men from Texas Oklahoma Louisiana Missouri Arkansas and Indiana. They are all tops and I believe that by the end of the boot we will have one of the best outfits in recruit training. I have been appointed company clerk and mail clerk which means a lot of extra work. However I am excused from all work details and fire watches. Our trip to ships service once a day and mail deliveries at 1115 and 1615 are the high points of the day. There are lots of cigars at Ships Service and we are allowed 2 packs of cigarettes each day.We took our physical examination and all 30 boys in the platoon made the grade. We are company B-6 and have a swell fellow of about 35 the name of Lonny Amicucci for our Chief. He spent 2 yrs in the S. Pacific and really knows the ropes.; Feb. 28 - Reveille at 0600. Clean up the barracks. Chow at 0655. At 0800 we went for 2 hours of Judo. Now those stomach muscles hurt. At 1000 we had an hour of Close Order Drill. Mail at 1115 and altho I didn't receive any there was quite a pile of it.Its beginning to get heavy. I have not had much time to write anybody except Betsy and Mom so I cant expect much mail.

I couldnt get a mask to fit me but went into the chamber anyway to find out what would happen. I found out damn quick about 10 seconds to be exact. I really tore out of there and by the time I got my gas mask off I was crying like a baby. My eyes burned but after about 15 minutes I was OK again. When they issue us new gas mask Im going to be damn sure mine fits. If this had been a real gas attack i would certainly been a dead duck and that isnt much of a joke.; March 21.Reveille at 0600. Today we are secured until 1300. The time will be spent continuing our process of packing etc. Chiow at 0635. The morning was spent packing. L. Yager and myself went down to S-29 Ships Service and made a few minor purchases. Chow at 1135. At 1300 we went to E-5C Drill Hall for our last Drill Period. United States Naval Construction Battalions better known as the Seabees from the Naval Construction Force of the United States Navy. Their nickname is a heterograph of the first initials "C.B." from the words Construction Battalion. Naval Construction Battalions were conceived of as a replacement for civilian construction companies working for the US Navy after the United States was drawn into World War II with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor On 7 December 1941. International law made it illegal for civilians to resist enemy attack doing so would classify them as guerrillas for which they could be summarily executed. The Seabees would consist of skilled workers that would be trained to drop their tools if necessary and take up their weapons at a moment's notice to defend themselves. The concept model: A USMCtrained Battalion of construction tradesmen a military equivalent of those civilian Companies that would be capable of any type of construction anywhere needed under any conditions or circumstance. It was quickly realized that this model could be utilized in every theater of operations as it was seen to be flexible and adaptable. The use of USMC organization allowed for smooth coordination integration or interface of both the NCF and Marine Corps elements. In addition Seabee Battalions could be deployed individually or in multiples as the project scope and scale dictated. They were unique at conception and remain so today. In the October 1944 issue of Flying magazine the Seabees are described as "a phenomenon of world war II; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES NAVY USN SEABEES UNITED STATES NAVAL CONSTRUCTION FORCES NCF CONSTRUCTION BATTALIONS NAVAL CONSTRUCTION TRAINING CENTER CAMP ENDICOTT J.W.

1938 - 1939 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A HARD DRIVING WESTERN NEW YORK WOMAN TRYING TO WORK HER WAY OUT OF THE DEPRESSION

19380008141HORNELL NEW YORK WESTERN NEW YORK. Good. 1938. On offer is a unique little journal written by a woman in upstate New York immediately before the outbreak of WWII. Measuring 6 inches by 3.5 inches this journal has 72 pages and is 100% complete. There is evidence of pages having been torn out at some time in the past. The handwriting is in pencil and although faint can be read. The cover is in very good condition and all pages are intact. Although the name on the cover is Emmett Johnson 1914-1992 context suggests that this 1938 diary was written by his mother Katherine Neary Johnson. She refers to family members by the initial of their first name and 'E' and 'J' crop up repeatedly. The 'E' likely stands for Emmett and the 'J' for her husband John. They lived around Hornell in upstate New York in what is known as the 'Southern Tier' - the mountainous western part of New York state that borders Pennsylvania. These were the last years of the Great Depression and life was not easy here. The pages are un-numbered and undated. She simply writes through from one month to the next. In her journal Johnson recounts daily chores and events that matter to her family their farm and their circle of friends. "Nice day John went to the city to sell his veal. I just done my housework."Feb 4 1938; "I went to Canisteo with the grist. Fixed the fence in the P.M." Apr 25 1938; "J went to church. Raymond and children brought him home. E and C came stayed for supper came with cow and took the veal calves." June 5 1938. Life wasn't easy and events could turn one's work upside down very quickly: "Blacksmith came and shod the team. came and helped. Barn burned."Aug 6 1938. The rest of her entries are in this vein. They paint the picture of a hardworking woman living in a poorer area of rural America. Yet despite the continual hard work there is a sense of quiet confidence and pleasure with her life. A student of Womens' Studies would find this an excellent window into the life of so many American women living at that time; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES; MID-20TH CENTURY; 1930S; KATHERINE NEARY JOHNSON; EMMETT JOHNSON; HORNELL NY; STEUBEN COUNTY; NEW YORK; THE GREAT DEPRESSION; 'SOUTHERN TIER'; AMERICAN FARMERS IN THE LATE 1930S; LIFE ON FARMS IN DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION; WOMEN'S LIFE IN RURAL WESTERN NEW YORK; BUFFALO AREA RURAL AMERICA IN THE MID-20TH CENTURY; FARMING OPERATIONS; 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

Many take the form of letters sent and received: "Sent letter to Mrs. C on 12th Nov 1873"; "353 East 82nd St. Miss Harrison Sent Alcroft & Co Best glove makers in the world"; "10 o' clock Brought the services of Sunday to a close"; "Steamship the Queen arrived at Queenstown Mar 2nd 1876."

For a historian they offer a glimpse into the world of one individual living in Manhattan in the later part of the 19th century.

1886 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A VERY ACTIVE STUDENT OF THE TILDEN FEMALE SEMINARY IN NORTH CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE

18860008118WEST LEBANON NEW HAMPSHIRE. Good. 1886. On offer is a fascinating diary authored by a 20-year old Mary D. Kibling a student of the Tilden Female Seminary from a noted local family. The diary contains over 100 pages with an entry for every day of the year with additional information for some of the days at the end in the memoranda section. It also includes an address book and lists of her expenses and Christmas gifts. The diary measures 6'2x4' the leather flap cover is slightly worn but otherwise it is in a very good condition. The handwriting is mostly legible though slightly faded at some places. Mary was born in 1866 she belonged to a noted family of New England farmers and businessmen - her grandfather Lorenzo D. Kibling was a merino sheep farmer and her father Asahel - a wool merchant. At the time when she was writing her diary Mary studied at the Tilden Ladies Seminary founded in 1854 and serving students living in West Lebanon. Named after its largest contributor William Tilden it had among its founders professor Allen H. Weld and Charles Brickett Haddock then well-known educators and authors Haddock was also a politician. Though most of the entries are brief as a whole they create an excellent picture of what was middle class young women's life like at the end of the 19th century. Mary Kibling spends time writes with her family and friends shopping dancing taking small trips. Many entries mention painting and practising music. Here are some of the typical entries: "Went to Seminary. German ok. Practiced. Got ready about five and went up to Nell Smiths and went to the oyster supper with that crowd. Began to dance at nine. I danced thirteen out of eighteen. Chet Rio brought Nell and I home and Frank Foote took Minnie King of course. We all went in big teams." Jan 22; "Dance till about three. Got home at 5 five in the morning. Found door open and hall full of snow. Slept about an hour. ." Feb. 27; "Went to Seminary at 8. Studied this P.M. Will O. came about 7. We went to ride most to West Hartford then around the Glen. He did not act gentlemanly and I was disgusted. Got home about 10. He came in and staid a few moments." Some entries mention visits to a dentist though short they give a pretty good idea about the state of dentistry at that time: "Wore rubber between my front teeth all forenoon and had three filled in P.M. Hurt awfully. Mr. Brown said "Too bad" and laughed so I cried. ." During one visit she had seven of her teeth pulled: "Had to wait for Dr. Manchester. Another woman had 13 teeth out and then I took the chair. Took ether and was four minutes going off. When I came to my teeth were gone 7 except one root." The diary contains many names of local residents and students. One of the entries mentions Charles Alexander Eastman a Santee Dakota physician educated at Boston University: "Memorial Day. Eastman the Indian student called this P.M. ." May 31st. In the early 20th century Eastman was one of the most prolific authors and speakers on Sioux ethnohistory and American Indian affairs. In 1886 he studied at the Dartmouth College on an Indian scholarship and possibly that he might know Mary's brother Curtis who was a Dartmouth graduate spent several years in Dakota as a high school principal and in 1880s served as a superintendent of schools in Strafford.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF LATE 19TH CENTURY 1880s GILDED AGE WOMEN EDUCATION IN 19TH CENTURY AMERICA FEMALE SEMINARIES TILDEN FEMALE SEMINARY TILDEN LADIES' SEMINARY WEST LEBANON NEW HAMPSHIRE VERMONT MARY KIBLING NEW ENGLAND BUSINESSMEN ENTERTAINMENT IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY 1890s LIFESTYLE WOMEN'S STUDIES COURTSHIP AND DATING IN THE 19TH CENTURY AMERICA VERMONT GENEALOGY NEW HAMPSHIRE GENEALOGY 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

MARY REDMAYNEBiblio.com

THE 1944 - 1949 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF MARY REDMAYNE A YOUNG BRITISH GIRL OF ASHTON ON RIBBLE SEES CHURCHILL

1944000411Preston Lancashire England Great Britain UK. Good. 1944. Decorative Cloth. On offer is a super handwritten manuscript diary written by Mary Redmayne who was a 'girl next door' average teenage girl during the Second World War in Preston Lancashire in the small town of Ashton on Ribble. She was a dedicated diarist purchasing her new diary on Feb. 19 1944 and filling it up to date from the beginning of January obviously she took notes each day because every day is full from the beginning of the year with small daily details of life and continuing to fill it to the maximum in neat beautifully legible printing for the next five years. During that time she went from being a typical school girl writing the classes are "swotting" and we suspect skipping a lot of classes too but being successful in her levels to becoming a teacher for very young children as well as a dancer painter and Guide leader. She seems to have had lots of family in Ashton and surrounding area and we believe hat her brother's name Leonard Redmayne is very common in the area going back centuries.It is wonderful to read an unromanticized account of daily life in Britain for a teenaged girl in the midst of war. There is mention of taking gas masks to school a plane down near Cadley C and her father being on Fire Watch regularly but the majority of entries do not mention the war and show that even in the midst of tragedy and terror life goes on. Mary loved going to movies and mentions many by name along with her opinion of them and often seemed to get in trouble with her teachers because she did not mince words. A typical teenager. Some of the places mentioned in this diary include: Haslam Park Bletchley Wigan Bishops Startford London Radwinter Manchester Great Eccleston Blackpool Goosenargh Inglewhite Longridge and Grimsargh. Some of the people mentioned in the diary are Stotts J Loftus Miss Matthews Mr Charles Greehalghs Mona Spud and Jean D Royles Mrs. Preston Dorothy Allen Mrs Bolton and Parkinsons. In addition as shown in the scans there is a list at the back of the diary of her friends whom she mentioned in the diary regularly using their initials. The best way to give you a sense of what this girl's life was like is to quote from the diary: Went back to school. B.B. was awfully pleased about Pre. Got bulls-eye. Had teeth outh. Dad made vow. Teeth started to bleed. Bled all night. Bit a cork. Went in taxi to dentists. He plugged tooth which was bleeding. Had a sleep. Borrowed books from Pat which I read all night. Fire in room. Bought stuff for patrol bag. Began to make it. Mother stuffed curtains. Began to knit socks out of RAF scarf. Had blancmange for tea. Stood on Harris steps to see King and Queen. Did not speak. Got new Sonata. Swotted Geog. New Dress. June Kalina talked about her engagement to a "Yank". Braitch in bad temper because late. Got to report. went to see "Madonna of the Seven Moons." VG. Knitted. Settled about second-hand books. Had lecture on "dangerous objects" Began to make a frock. Went to see "This is the Army." Dec. 24 Sirens went 5:30-6:30. Fly bombs. Thud. Went to church and SS. Edyth wearing new blue coat. Went to Grays. Mum made row about Uncle Albert. Went to Joyces. Relations there. Went to our classifying houses. Announcement at 3pm that hostilities had ceased. Went errands. Went bike ride round Ribbleton through town. Watched tennis. Watched victory procession of show people. Went on Humpty bikes. Played tennis on Stanley Park. Went to Ice Show. Watched celebrations near town hall. What is striking to me is how matter-of-fact she is talking about the bombs and lectures on "dangerous objects" which suggests mines and unexploded ordnance and then carries on in the next sentence talking about new dresses going to church and the mundane daily routines. It is clear that war was a part of life for her and that she was accustomed to it having grown up with it. Her brother Leonard was in France and wrote home about a French girl near the end of the war but came home a couple of times during the course of the war so I am not sure what he was up to. She mentions the death of Roosevelt and sees Mr Churchill on his visit to Preston in June. She takes piano lessons and we believe that she is also teaching piano by the end of the diary. The diary is in good condition though the first few pages of January are taped in and the binding of the book has separated from the spine. However the binding is attached firmly to the diary pages and all the pages are accounted for and apart from the taped pages are firmly attached to each other. The binding strap is attached and the clasp to hold the diary closed still works. Every page is full so this is a treasure trove of information about daily life in Lancashire in the 1940's. ; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF WWII WW2 UNITED KINGDOM BATTLE OF BRITAIN THE BLITZ HITLER GERMANY NAZIS BRITAIN ENGLAND HOMEFRONT WORLD WAR II HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY . hardcover

On offer is a wonderful pair 2 of original manuscript letters handwritten by Midshipman Alexander Sharp Jr. he of a storied career having served as an aide to Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and also commanded the U.S.S. VIXEN during the Spanish American War. He took part in the Battle of Santiago the largest battle of the Spanish-American War. Sharp born in Missouri in 1855 was the nephew of Civil War general and president Ulysses S. Grant. He entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis in June 1870 during the low point when the Navy was nearly out of existence. Ships were antiquated; promotion slow and the majority of the ship's crews were made up of people who were not U.S. citizens. On May 11 1873 Sharp was promoted to midshipman to ensign on July 18 1877 and then to master on April 8 1882. On March 3 1883 he was promoted to lieutenant junior grade having been in the navy for over 13 years. This was the rank he would still hold at the time of the Spanish American War. On October 29 1884 Sharp married Miss Josephine "Josie" Hand in Yankton South Dakota. Sharp was assigned to the office of the assistant secretary of the navy Theodore Roosevelt who described him in his autobiography as being a "first-class fellow." Roosevelt had Sharp appointed to the command of the U.S.S. VIXEN. Later when Roosevelt's Rough Riders approached the shore at the Daiquiri landing point aboard the Army transport YUCATAN the VIXEN was present. Sharp provided the YUCATAN with a pilot that got the ship close into shore unlike many of the other transports who had no pilots. Very shortly after the war's fighting ended and armistice was agreed to between the U.S. and Spain Sharp was promoted to lieutenant in August of 1898. Following the war Sharp promoted to lieutenant commander served aboard the venerable U.S.S. HARTFORD of Civil War fame. Later he was called to testify at the investigation into the actions of Winfield Scott Schley at Santiago. Sharp died on February 9 1910. The 22 year old Ensign Sharp already an 'old salt' writes very chatty chock full of sea faring narrative relating to his ship and others and the many common individuals in the service they know to his friend "Old Goat" a much later hand has written in pencil that the letter is to Hunter C. White the first letter written aboard the USS Marion a blockade ship during the Civil War is 12 pages 5" x 8" dated January 16 1877 USS Marion At Sea from Nice France. Sharp does a superb job detailing his life in the Navy: "After graduation had a splendid time - was ordered on the 1 December 1875 to the Marion at Portsmouth NHOur Mission composed of Carter Sharp Doyle Worcester Howe King Eldridge deRuiz. We met all the girls in Portsmouth. Had a splendid time - Left Portsmouth on 20 January 1876We got off without any danger to the ship. I came damned near to getting killed.

1920s ORIGINAL GROUP OF SEVEN 7 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HAND WRITTEN BY A RURAL KANSAS TEENAGER AND SOON TO BE COLLEGE GIRL

19230008069CEDAR VALE KANSAS. Fair. 1923. On offer is a fascinating group of small notebooks written by a school girl in the mid-west just prior to the Great Depression. There are 7 notebooks in all. They range in size from 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches to 6 1/2 by 4 1/4. Three books have 72 pages each one has 120 and a fifth has 96. Two part books have 44 and 56. Four are 100% complete while the remaining three are about 40% complete. Some entries are dated while others are not. All entries are in pencil and the handwriting is legible. Several are in fair condition 1 is missing a front cover and 2 are in quite good condition. The books are ordered with numbers written on the covers. Also included with the notebooks are a number of postcards with dates ranging from 1915 to 1957. Mildred Lemert was born in Cedar Vale KS in 1907. She graduated from high school in 1925 and entered Kansas State University graduating with a degree in Education in 1929. She taught her entire career in Cedar Vale and Clay Centre Kansas. Mildred Lemert passed away in 2001 at the age of 94. She never married. The notebooks describe a road trip her family took in 1923 when she was just 16. She and her family took a road trip to visit and stay with other family members in other parts of Kansas and Missouri. They contain descriptions of activities interactions with extended family and observations of life around her. Some entries are dated month/day. In the first book she describes a trip they took beginning in July. She describes rough roads and the toll they took on the tires: ". We had a flat tire just a short distance from F.S. Fort Scott KS . We had two more flat tires after we left F.S." "We left Sedalia at 7:50 AM and went through Smithton and California and several other small towns and got to Jefferson City for lunch. We went through the State House at J.C. A Negro took us to the very top of the dome" July 20. I saw roads made of rails as they used to be many years ago. Some of the natives said that the State road we travelled was made in the Civil War. In Book Two continues that trip visiting with family. She describes trying to learn to ride a bicycle. She visits the Americana Lace Factory presumably with her cousins. Book Three is a continuation of her holiday trip with her family. She notes that for her birthday: ". Mamma bought Aunt Elma's camera for my birthday present. . I can take some pictures now." Aug 10. Her birthday in fact was several days later on Aug 15th. The postcards include one to her brother Merl in 1915 and several from a friend who moved to Germany in the 1950's. Included is a valentine card she received as a young girl that she kept for many many years and a Butterfly Souvenir Card from Yellowstone Park that contains a fully working wind-up model butterfly. There are also two faded photographs of a team of horses. These notebooks provide a wonderful snap-shot into the life of a young woman growing up in the American mid-west. They capture a summer spent with immediate and extended family members at a time just before the crisis of the Great Depression overwhelmed so much of rural America. A historian would find this of great interest as she very carefully notes towns and villages they saw or visited and describes incidents that relate to those areas such a terrible road or Civil War construction.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES AMERICAN MIDWEST KANSAS 20TH CENTURY 1920S ROARING TWENTIES JAZZ AGE CEDAR VALE CLAY CENTER CLAY COUNTY CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY MISSOURI ROAD TRIP STATE ROADS TRAVEL CAR TRIPS AMERICANA LACE FACTORY 1920S RECREATION 1920S AUTOMOBILES MECHANICAL BUTTERFLY SOUVENIR CARD POSTCARDS RURAL AMERICA 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

MS WALKER [perhaps MABLE] M SBiblio.com

1907 - 1920 ORIGINAL CHARMING SOUTH WESTERN ONTARIO MANUSCRIPT DIARY THAT BEGINS WITH SAD LOSS THEN CONTINUES TO HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT

19070002018GUELPH ONTARIO SOUTH WESTERN ONTARIO CANADA. Fair. 1907. On offer is a charming somewhat sad and enigmatic original manuscript diary handwritten by a young south western Ontario Canada woman named M. S. Walker b. August 10th 1879 of Guelph Ontario which in July 1907 the month and year of the diary was a small but fast growing community of under 15000 persons. The flip style book begins with a loose page and we note two entries that bring the humanity of the book to light: "Ian Walker Born March 25th 1907 Died March 25th 1907" and then in another hand: "To Mable from Mother May the G. and Rec. unite someday in singing the new new song". Then the diary begins in what one would assume was Mable's hand a later entry refers to "Mable and I" leading us to conclude either Mable gave her sister the book after the death or perhaps both sisters wrote with her numbered page 1 dated June 22 '07. However above this is an entry dated March 25 1907: Our baby came today and went to heaven the same day. 3/26/07 I took the little fellow's body out to Forest Lawn Cemetery to God's Acres His name was to have been Ian so we buried him by that name. 'Tis a little blossom in heaven." We feel that the book was likely a gift taken up quickly to record the sad event and then picked up and begun in earnest 3 months later. The book begins and appears to show her recovered from her tragedy: "Left Detroit with Aunt H. on 2-35 G.T.R. for Guelph. Arrived about 10 p.m. and found all well. It is good to be able to be at home with father and mother again and I am thankful to God that mother and father have been spared & that I am able to see them well and happy in their home again. I pray that they may be spared to us many years and that their latter years be bright and happy." What follows are 115 pages through to her last entry October 29th 1920 and besides the regular day to day recording there are more births more deaths trips and work at a busy bank in a bustling community with a far ranging family business in the background making for a super look at an early 20th Century Ontario woman's life.

1931 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A DELIGHTFUL INTELLIGENT ALL AMERICAN GIRL NEXT DOOR DETAILING A BUSY LIFE AND HER PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

19310008197INDIANA PENNSYLVANIA. Fair. 1931. On offer is an original handwritten diary authored by a young girl from Indiana Pennsylvania in 1931. The diary measures 6.8' x 4.5' has 126 numbered pages with 3 daily entries on each page and about 75% complete. The front cover of the diary is completely detached the back cover is loose but otherwise it is in good condition. The author's name is not identified but from the context it is clear that she lives in the Indiana County in Pennsylvania studies at senior classes of the Indiana High School is a member of a school literary club her father is a dentist and she has an elder brother Norman. The diary provides an excellent picture of what life for a girl from a well-off family was like in a small Pennsylvania town in 1930s. She writes about her dreams and aspirations - she wants to teach children in poor district or teach ethics abroad and documents her everyday life. Her diary is full of details characteristic to those days including popular radio programs places; films and books people leisure activities that were extremely popular but almost forgotten now like Tom Thumb Golf and many more. She lists what she and her family did every day including what she ate and where they went. Her first entry is made on January 1 1931: "Amid magic music and humanity my New Year was ushered in at Camp Rest with Archie! I slept till 10:30 am had a huge half of a grapefruit for breakfast; brussel sprouts for lunch. Grind drill fill! Papa filled my three cavities. We drove out in the C.C. and saw some gay sled riders. Grandpa and Grandma were here for dinner; Grandpa told about New Year Eve at Richmond Va. during the Civil War. Papa and Mama went to see Streams and Rays; Norman had a date and I went to see the gala performance "Just imagine - 1980". C'est tout." "Just Imagine" was an American pre-code science fiction film by David Butler. Naturally school takes a large part of her records: "School wasn't so bad as we had no assignments. I gave a talk in Health class on "Physical Illiteracy". . after supper we listened to Amos and Andy and Thomas Lowell" Jan. 5. "Amos and Andy" was a favourite early evening radio show in 1930s America by Thomas Lowell preeminent journalist traveller and broadcaster. She seems intelligent and idealistic: "We got to talking about what I am going to do after I finish I.H.S. Indiana High School. I would like to teach forth grade or around there in a district of poor some Jews Greeks Italians Irish etc. children. I think I'd love that. But if I go to High Pallantin College this time for preparation for that would be unduly delayed" Jan.6. She is a member of Pandorean Literary Society - a club of High School girls well read and seems to be a rather good student: "Mrs. Mechler said my P.G.Plane Geometry problems were good. I prepared in Biology Study Hall a report on Woman of Rome. We pronounced in French and almost went mad. We discussed Emerson's essay on friendship in English. Some kids gave their reports on Cicero. I started to read The Kentucky Cardinal . It's by James Lane Allen and it's wonderful. Dr. Alexander here for prayer week stated that life is not goblet to be drained but rather a measure to be filled. Oh how the human heart can ache!" Jan. 9; "I read two short stories one called "Mixed Doubles" which inspired me to really become a decent tennis player this summer - square and calm. The other was "Sylvia . Winter Vacation" which inspired me to be liked for my real self and not for name riches or personal advantages."Jan. 14. And so it continues - she writes about her classes books she reads trips with the family dreams and her plans for future. The diary contains wealth of names of local residents teachers and students making it an excellent source of information for genealogists and local historians. There are many entries about school subjects lessons and assignments including how she felt about them which makes an interesting reading for historians of American education.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES; PENNSYLVANIA; INDIANA.

Many of these illustrations date back to the early years of the 20th Century. The journal is entitled Sea Lore Vol II. The author is unknown. Referring to great sailing ships over 50 to 60 years context suggests that this notebook was likely written in the early 1960s by a man who loved the sea and sailing ships. There are much older newspaper clipping for example the Laura Ann Barnes aground in 1921. The journal is a fascinating look into the world of sailing in the late 19th and early 20th Century. The pages contain notes descriptions and stories as well as many drawing and photographs. The journal opens with a short description of SS Herzogin Cecilie. She was built for Norddeutscher Lloyd or North German shipping company. She was one of the fastest commercial sailing ships - the so-called windjammers - ever built. Eight times winner of Australia - Great Britain grain race she ran on the rocks at Sewer Mill Cove near Salcombe Dover England in the early morning of April 27 1936. She was bound for Ipswich to discharge a cargo of grain. Records show that she was hauled off the rocks but soon capsized and sank. He refers to John Vanderdecken also recorded as Hendrick Vanderdecken who was captain of a ship rounding Cape Good Hope in the middle of a fierce storm - "Story of Vanderdecken The Flying Dutchman" and then the author tells a version of the tale of this famous ghost ship. He lists 9 pages of ships including famous four-masted barques barquentines and schooners: "More Information About Captain Erikson's fleet of wind jammers". One line drawing is an excellent illustration of basic helm commands for a sailing ship. Another is a fine drawing showing how these great sailing ships used the prevailing winds to race across the oceans. On another page he notes his ideal ship: "My Ideal Ship 90 Tons Broad beamed deisel engine fore and aft sails". Another lists the crew of HMS Bounty who mutinied April 28th 1789. There are photographs and foldout illustrations cut out from newspapers and magazines of some of the great sailing ships of the late 19th and early 20th centuries such as Pamir Laura Ann Barnes Yankee Nantuckett and Christian Radich. The Christian Radich still sails today under a Norwegian flag. There are pages of definitions drawings of knots and illustrations of rigging. The author of this notebook truly loved the sea and it shines through. A historian or sailing enthusiast would find this a fascinating glimpse into the days of the great 3 and 4-masted sailing ships that plied the world's oceans. The lists of ships make an excellent cross-reference tool.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF MID-20TH CENTURY SAILING SHIPS SAILING IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY SAILING IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY TEA CLIPPERS; GRAIN CLIPPERS; TALL SHIPS; WINDJAMMERS; SS HERZOGIN CECILIE; USS SEVEN SEAS; THE FLYING DUTCHMAN; CAPTAIN VAN DER DECKEN; PAMIR; LAURA ANN BARNES; YANKEE; NANTUCKETT; CHRISTIAN RADICH.

ODESSA McCLISTER (nee ARNOLD)Biblio.com

1944 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT WORLD WAR II MID WEST DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY HARD WORKING AKRON HOME MAKER ALL THE WHILE WITH THE DARK BACKDROP OF THE WAR

19440008144AKRON OHIO. Good. 1944. On offer is an interesting diary of a homemaker during the last years of WWII The diary measures 7.5 inches by 5 inches. It contains 365 pages plus additional 16 pages of supplementary information. It is about 75% complete. The front cover has separated from the spine but otherwise the covers and pages are all in good condition. The handwriting is clear and legible. The context suggests that the author belonged to the Arnold family and casual research suggests most likely written by Mrs. Odessa McClister nee Arnold wife of Virgil McClister in the early 1920s they graduated from the Palmer School and shortly worked as chiropractors McClister was member of the city council and had state government jobs. At the time the diary was written Odessa was a president of South High Home and School League. Living in Akron OH she is managing the household for her elderly father and much younger sister. Her mother who would have been 83 that year has passed away. She mentions her sister Nola Craig her brother Elton D. Arnold who had passed away 11 years previously at age 35 Nov 19 and his wife Esther Arnold whose son Dale was a P-40 pilot during the WW2 and was lost in action in the South Pacific. Context suggests that she is 49 years old from a birthday reference on Dec. 29. She lives with her father and her 15 year old daughter Pat Patricia McClister who is still in high school. Later Patricia would study at the Kent State University and work as a teacher. This is a thoroughly delightful recounting of daily life in middle America during the war. The entries are full of the daily tasks that she sets out to accomplish: "Washed solarium windows in and out. Nice weather so I can easily do them on the outside. Also scrubbed the side porch window sills sure so dirty. Feel pretty good I hope" Jan 20. "Had a big wash. Did some cleaning in the basement again. If I do a little at a time then maybe sometime I'll get there. Feel pretty good. Hope I continue" Mar 27. "Had a tremendous ironing. Pat makes quite a lot of washing when she goes to summer school. And it's been so hot everything gets so sweated up. . It was 96o today." July 11. Her daughter Pat is a typical teenager. School homework and exams concern her. She has a busy teenage social life and her mother's entries reflect parties dances and outings with friends and several boyfriends: "Pat went to the Firestone Dance at Summit Beach with Kenny. ." June 23. That was a large dance party organized by the Firestone Rubber and Tire Company. "Pat went with Harry to the De Molay Initiation. Was so happy they went together. She said she had a nice time." Oct 10. "Pat to Rainbow Initiation tonight. . Pat is all excited about the game tomorrow. Sure hope she has a nice Thanksgiving and I think she will." Nov 22. She is active in her church community and takes a regular part in Parent - Teachers Meeting going as far as to attend a PTA conference out of town. "To Toledo PTA Convention. Up at 4 o'clock to bus terminal at 5 o'clock. . out to Macomber Auditorium in evening for meeting. . Like Mrs. my room mate quite well." Oct 10. Although not referred to frequently the war is definitely a background presence: ". Nola called and said she had a letter from Esther that Dale is missing in action in New Guinea. I wonder what will become of us if this war lasts much longer. He has been missing since Apr 7th" Apr 25. ". Quite an exciting day. We invaded the continent today. Pres. Roosevelt spoke over radio tonight in fact it was a prayer for our boys over there. . " June 4 . "Boy. What a day. Had the Craigs in for a picnic in honor of our soldiers Bud Eddie and Donald. ." June 30; ". out to Camp Perry was very interesting to see the German prisoners sure wasn't working very hard." Aug 23. This diary is an excellent window into daily life in urban America during WWII. It is a terrific resource for a social historian looking at that time period. A researcher or student of Women's Studies would find this a wonderfully detailed look at the role of an urban American mother during the war.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 20TH CENTURY WW2; 1940S; AKRON OH; SUMMIT COUNTY; OHIO; DE MOLAY; ORDER OF RAINBOW; CAMP PERRY; FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT; AKRON POLITICIANS OF THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY; AKRON CITY COUNCILMEN; MCCLISTER FAMILY; ARNOLD FAMILY; PATRICIA MCCLISTER; ODESSA V.A.

1864 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HAND WRITTEN BY A SOUTH CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS WOMAN TOILING AWAY BUT NEVER LOSING HER JOIE DE VIVRE EVEN WITH THE DARK BACKDROP OF THE CIVIL WAR

18640008027Massachusetts U.S. Good. 1864. On offer is an interesting diary written by a woman in 1864. She lives on a farm somewhere in south central Massachusetts based on location references. The diary measures 4 1/2 inches by 4 inches and has about 200 pages. The diary is about 60% complete. The cover is leather and is in good condition as are the pages within. The handwriting is very tight but it is legible. The author is unknown. There is a severely faded inscription on the flyleaf but it is not legible. Context suggests she is a younger woman living with her husband on a farm. She is a very literate woman and writes very well. She is close to her family who appear to live in the vicinity: "Rose this morning animated with the thought of going home to spend the day with Father and Mother. Delightful privilege. Thank God this family is mine to enjoy. May it long continue. Enjoyed a very pleasant visit with Parents brother sisters and cousins Hattie William and Mary being there" April 1 "Rose very early this morning and went to Southbridge with Minerva as she wished to take the stage at 7 o'clock. We got there in time. I made a fare purchase and came home. Called at Mr. Thomas Corbin's a while and got home at half past ten. Had a delightful ride and did not come home so tired as usual" May 23 "Work very hard this forenoon iron bake make cheese wash floors stairs etc Rebecca comes tonight and stays with us. Glad she feels an interest in attending the meeting. There are 5 of us only so we try to be united in supplication. May we ever have the aid of the Spirit" July 6. She is a deeply religious woman and her faith permeates her daily life: "Have not attended meeting today as Newton had been gone all day. Feel that I lose a great deal of spiritual food by being absent from them. I think the attendance of prayer meetings has a tendency to lead us to self-examination and heart searchings especially if we feel a responsibility resting upon ourselves". Jan 8 "Have been to Grandmothers to see Mr. & Mrs. Luther for the last time as they leave tomorrow morning early. After tea Mr. Luther read the 14 th Chapter of John and offered a very appropriate prayer after which I bade them goodbye and reserved a promise of a letter from them" Apr 15. The last entry is October 14th. This is a delightful look inside the life and world of a woman who cares very deeply about her spiritual life and the well-being of her family and friends. Her descriptions are very well written. A historian looking at life in rural civil-war America would find this an excellent resource. Along with the diary is a completely unrelated school graduation certificate. Dated 1929 it was presented to Elinor Rabehl in Multnomah County Oregon. There is no apparent connection between the diary and the certificate. As this is an elementary school diploma we can infer that Elinor Rabehl was born likely in 1916 in Multnomah County. A cursory search of records for Multnomah County ot for Oregon generally did not produce any additional information on this person.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF RURAL MASSACHUSETTS AMERICA DURING THE CIVIL WAR RURAL LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND WOMEN'S STUDIES SOCIAL STUDIES FARMERS FARMING ELINOR RABEHL CIVIL WAR ERA UNION STATES NORTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE WAR BETWEEN BROTHERS 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

On offer is an interesting and rather charming original handwritten diary kept by a farm woman in Springbrook a tiny farming community in Hastings County Ontario during the initial years of WWII. Written in a simple school child's notebook the mostly pencil entries cover the period from May 1st 1939 until Oct 25 1941. The book is in good condition. There are 64 pages and it is 100 % complete. The entries are brief but give a clear look into life on an Ontario farm at the outset of the war. The long days and hard work are evident from virtually the first page. The part of Ontario where she lives is difficult farming country and life would have been hard. Yet despite the difficulties this woman had a solid circle of friends and family. These relationships come alive in the pages of this notebook. I mended set up hay. Ellen in a while. We baking July 11 1939 Russel Reed here drawing in hay.

She does note outside event such as when she simply stated on Sept 3rd War declared. Six months later she noted the arrest of a neighbour for the murder of another farm couple: Fred Thain confessed that he murdered Mr. and Mrs. Wellman. Feb 3rd. That entry is sandwiched between a comment about getting a letter and 2 loads of wood being drawn.
