19590008173LOS ANGELES. Good. 1959. On offer is a delightful collection of journal entries written by a young woman at the beginning of the 1960s in urban United States. This collection consists of 33 hand-written loose-leaf pages 8.5 inches by 11.0 inches. The pages are unlined and in good condition. Her handwriting is quite legible. Anna Elizabeth Lee is a high school senior living in Los Angeles when she begins this record. Her entries are occasional and in 33 pages run from June 1959 to April 1966. In them she recounts many of the things that would capture the interest of teenage girls - principally boys. ". I think I'd better tell you about Steve while everyone is downstairs. At first he was just a cute boy in my Spanish class - or before he was just 'Esteven Curry'. Then he became a cute boy in class and then Anita and Winda Weeks invited me to their party and "HE" was there. ." June 22 1959. Things had changed by July: "I hate the name Curry." July 20 1959; "Still do". Mar 28 1961. The next several pages offer a chatty series of observations and thoughts about other young people that she knows. In the infrequent entries she mentions many of them by name and talks about things that they do as well as tasks she was responsible for: "Last night Jim Roger Lois Don their dog and I went to the library. We didn't get home until 10:00 pm. Then I did my work cleaned the dining room 3rd and second floor stairs and halls 1st and 2nd floor bathrooms. Princess Margaret's wedding. It was very beautiful. May 7 1960. Things changed for her in 1962. ". Have not said anything to you at all about my latest and I hope last flame - Pete Emker ." Aug 1962. Emker had joined the United States Air Force and been commissioned as a lieutenant. She comments that her mother likes him "enough" but is unhappy that he is Caucasian leading a reader to suspect that she is perhaps latino - there are several passages written by Anna in Spanish. As of April 1965 they were still together and she records a worried conversation with Emker's sister: "Pete was sent to the Phillipines . about a week ago Monica phoned me on Monday and told me. She was pretty upset "I've already lost my father in a war not my brother too" and so was I ." April 19 1965. Her journal ends a page later - last entry written in April 1966. She and Peter Emker got married in 1967. Short as it is it offers an insight into the life of a late teen / young woman growing up in a turbulent time in America. A genealogist would appreciate the use of full names and references to locations in Michigan where her family originated.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 20TH CENTURY; 1950s; 1960s; MID-20TH CENTURY; UNITED STATES; CALIFORNIA; LOS ANGELES; ANNA ELIZABETH LEE; USAF; PETER G EMKER; PHILIPPINES; VIET NAM WAR; PRINCESS MARGARET TEENAGERS IN 1960s; YOUTH SOCIAL LIFE IN MID-20TH CENTURY AMERICA; DATING PATTERNS IN 1960s AMERICA; SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA IN THE 1960s; WOMEN'S 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

18820012259Europe England France Germany Italy United States. Good with no dust jacket. 1882. Softcover. On offer is a fine private European travel journal kept by a rich young Kentucky woman who traveled extensively. The journal belonged to Anna L. Worthington. She was born in 1864 in Cincinnati Ohio and lived in Covington Kentucky. Her father was Henry Worthington who was known as one of the foremost businessmen in Covington amassing a large fortune in the tobacco industry. In 1886 Anna married in George Gatewood Hamilton 1861-1928 and had one daughter Anna Roberta Hamilton 1888-1939. She passed away in 1895 at the young age of 30. George was also a successful businessman and land owner. He went on to remarry Allie Chilton after Annas death. The journal recounts a four-month trip she took throughout Europe when she was 18 years old. She travelled as part of a small group. The trip was extensive which reflected the very wealthy background she came from. Her travels included England France Germany and Italy and focused on historical locations and places known for their art and architecture. Her excerpts are long and newsy written in a bouncy cursive hand. She kept her journal from May 1 through August 27 1882. Some brief excerpts follow: Went to Versailles with Madame went on the Chemin de fer and came back on the tramway. We went immediately to the Castle de Versailles which was built by Louis 14th for Mlle de la Valliere. He once heard her say to a courtier that the only one she loved was the King of the Sun May 19. Left Pisa about 11: 40 for Rome. Very comfortable until we got to Chivioveccia sic. When we had to put up our windows because we were on the Campagna June 6. Started for Frankfort at eleven arrived at one. Went to see.the church where the emperors were crowned.Went to the Burying ground where Goethes mother is buried. Anna D. Will & I went to the stores July 22. Went to the Crystal Palace wanted to go to see Billy Taylor but we were taken in & only saw a man cut a woman to pieces and a few other things equally ridiculous August 4. This diary provides terrific insight into the the state of both travel and major European cities in the late 19th century. For a social historian this journal is a silent testament to the social structures in late 19th century America and how some women were able to enjoy a life experience much different than that experienced by the majority of women in the country. As such it would also be a useful addition to any gender studies library. The journal is a soft-covered notebook containing 132 lined pages. The cover is leather and shows wear along the spine and on the corners. The pages are in good condition and the handwriting is quite legible. It is approximately 55% complete. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 132 pages; Signed by Author . paperback

19320009031WALTHAM MASSACHUSETTS MA LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA CA. Good. 1932. On offer is the 1932 travel journal kept by Anna P. Hastings a young woman travelling by Greyhound bus across the United States to tourist spots and friends homes along the way. Beginning in her home town of Waltham Massachusetts Hastings travels to California and then all the way back.This very scarce first person account of an early Greyhound cross country trip covers a mostly pleasant ride in the era before the Eisenhower Interstate System however there are times where Hastings is obviously unhappy and disappointed with the trip though they are few and far between. Along the route she stops at National Parks museums Indian Reservations roadside stops and stands but most often at the homes of friends. It may be that Hastings had once lived in Southern California as she seems to have many friends and acquaintances that she meets and stay with in Los Angeles San Francisco Berkeley and Davis California. The journal begins on June 3rd 1932. She writes Left Waltham at 11:30. Went thru beautiful country Springfield to Leonx and Dalton and Pittsfield. The streams seemed very low but the gardens and laurels were beautiful and green. Think I drove all night when I wasnt watching the stars come out. We are in Albany at one oclock then had with in Syracuse and dint stop till we got to Buffalo.; June 6 Mon. Saw acres and acres of corn and wheat growing. Coming into St. Louis we crossed the Mississippi on a very long bridge. Had a very nice diner in Ellington Ill. Had supper in station at St. Louis. Arrived at 5.15and had to wait for bus to take us on our way to Kansas City. The natives say summer has just arrived here and it is hot.; June 7 Tues. Saw miles of wide open spaces. had breakfast at the Pickwick dinner in Junction City and super in Ellis. Never felt more dirty in my life. Nothing much to see but cattle and horses and mile & mile of grain fields with once in while a village with good looking school house and churches. On the way to California Hastings comments often on the scenery and the things she sees out the window. She especially likes the landscape and scenery of the Southwest. The bus even stops at the Grand Canyon which she describes as so vast and so wonderful it seems to get you more and more as you look at it and realize it has taken millions of years to create. On June 10th a week after leaving Waltham Hastings arrives in Hollywood California and stays with her friend Miriam for a month and a half. At Miriams she sees a number of movies goes shopping with Myra Hastings bus companion and Miriam and visits the Forest Lawn Memorial Park where she sees the finest collection of statuary in the country and a stained glass window of The Last Supper I think I shall never forget. It was the most beautiful thing of its kind I ever saw. For the time at Miriams Hastings spends her time in leisure waking late enjoying the beautiful weather and visits various touristy spots including Laurel Canyon and the Huntington Memorial Library. A typical day in L.A. reads like this: July 14 Thurs. It seemed as if the sky was never more clear and blue. We left about ten oclock and drove to the San Juan Capistrano Mission arriving at noon. A guide took us there and told us how it was built in 1774 and the church was destroyed in an earthquake in 1812. The chapel was rebuilt and services have been held for 154 years. We drove home by the shore road about 190 miles in all. On July 30 the 1932 Summer Olympics Games of the X Olympiad begin in Los Angeles with a very impressive ceremony. We read about it in the papers. In early August Hastings travels up to her friend Alinas house in San Francisco. This is just for a few days and after less than a week in San Francisco she returns to Miriams. A week at Miriams and then she goes to Berkeley to stay with her friend Sadie. Aug. 2 Sn. We slept later than we intended to and got thru breakfast a little after ten. June took Sadie Alina Margaret me to Antioch where we looked up Caddies oldest sons Henry & his wife. He was very glad to see us & told us his son Harry was on a trip around the world on the S. S. President Pierce and would be in port in Boston in Nov. His next port of call for mail will be Alexandria Egypt. From Berkeley Hastings goes to a friends Edmund home in Davis then she begins a trip back home. August 30 Tues. Arrived in Chicago after riding all night and were advised to spend the night. We decided to go on to Indianapolis. After supper we left for Indianapolis arriving at 2.30. Changed busses left at 3 AM for Columbus. We were late leaving missed the bus at 11.58. Had dinner then got the bus out after 5. It was a lovely ride over hill and dale past fine farming country full of fruit and grain. The trip home is a bit longer as she stays with a friend Edith in Wheeling Illinois spending much of the time talking and resting. After a week with Edith Hastings finally leaves to go back home for good. On September 9th more than three months after leaving she arrives back in Waltham. Left N.Y. at ten oclock and after many delays that seemed terrible long we arrived in Waltham and at about eight-thirty. Everybody seemed very glad to see us. Margarete phoned to Allan and he came right up and took us home. Talked awhile then took a bath and went to bed. 11 PM seemed too good to get into my own bed once more. Came home by way of Springfield Worcester Marlboro Dudley and Wayland to Waltham. Finally there are 4 pages of Cash Accounts where Hastings has written down the item purchased the date of its purchase and the cost. Her ticket across the country and back cost her $108.3. In total she spent more than $200 on her trip over the course of 3 months a very significant amount in the midst of the Great Depression. There are also 15 pages of names and addresses of friends and family mostly from Massachusetts. The diary is filled with approx 100 double sided pages full of material and each entry is fully filled out in Hastings easily read script. The writing is in pencil and is once or twice smudged but the overwhelming majority of the book is very legible. The cover shows some wear but is still in very good shape and has the word TRAVELS embossed in gold. Structurally the book is in excellent shape. It also contains a little holder with a pencil in it possibly the one Hastings used though that cannot be confirmed.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS:HISTORY OF ANNA P.

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.

18940001696CHATHAM NEW YORK NY. Good. 1894. On offer is an original manuscript diary and fascinating late 19th Century look at love and relationships and most interestingly a May-December pairing of 33 year old Annie C. Mead b. 1861 of Chatham New York to 21 year old Sherman b.1873. Handwritten by the bride in 1894 we learn that Annie marries Sherman an undertaker as per the 1930 census on March 14th of 1894. She writes every day from January 1st to October 8th with only 14 days missed between those months. After October 8th the diary has no entries other then in the back memoranda where she's filled out two pages showing what they received for wedding presents. Annie's does a great job as a diarist providing names genealogical information local events and insight into her life. Another interesting item we note from her writings is that Sherman suffers from constant headaches. They are so bad at times that he has to stay in bed all day. Of further interest to researchers of women studies and gender issues is that Sherman is under the care of Dr. Hattie Van Buren. Here are some snippets: 1894 "January 6th Powder well exploded at Rosendale. Shook our house like an earthquake. I cleaned the parlor and dining room in the morning. Sewed until 4 P.M.
