1953019244New York: William-Frederick Press 1953. Book. Illus. by Adri Ames dust jacket illustration. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A retired U.S. Army major born in Bridgewater Nova Scotia in 1882 tells his story one that is "a special combination of hereditary influences and the seeming manifestations of psychic phenomena" a "provocative theme that runs through gripping tale after tale of fighting against the fierce proud Moros of Mindanao; the long arduous service on the Western Plains; the lonely confinement of stations throughout the states and in other lands; the unique character of Army life and the brief ventures into varied civil occupations." Part of the author's story took place in Atlantic Canada New Brunswick -- mainly St. Stephen -- and Nova Scotia. Wiles has written on the second end paper the following inscription: "To my friend/Donald Inches/With best wishes./Ralph W. Wiles" which is a nice little inscription in and of itself but which takes on greater appeal when considering the dedication: "PRESUMPTUOUSLY DEDICATED to myself by suggestion and in honor of JAMES A. and HELEN LOUISE INCHES and their family -- son DONALD and daughter DORIS; all if whom were my friendly and helpful neighbors during my residence in my mansion in St. Stephen New Brunswick." Additionally a poem attributed to one H.L.I. presumed to be the aforementioned Helen Louise Inches extolling the virtues of an unnamed "Major" is printed on the verso of second end paper. Flaxen cloth w/gilt lettering to front cover/spine 312 pages illustrated. Gently bumped/mildly worn corners/spine ends tanned/lightly smudged edges in edgeworn dust jacket w/chipping to corners/spine ends sun-darkened spine edge tears. Jacket now in protective mylar sleeve which spruces up the thing rather nicely.

19310008080LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS. Good. 1931. On offer are 2 diaries of a southern businessman with clear links to his state government. Dating from the 1930's these small volumes measure 4 1/2 inches by 3 inches and 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches respectively. They each contain 52 pages plus memoranda and are 100% complete. The handwriting is small but legible. Wilbur A Smith was a businessman in Little Rock AR in the 1930's. He notes that he was born in 1866 and a Wilbur A. Smith born that year is recorded as having died in 1940. He mentions his wife Lucy and a daughter Lucille. Based on this information it can be said with surety that the author is Wilbur Andrew Smith 1866-1940 grandson of William Andrew "Uncle Billy" Smith who was a pioneer of eastern oil and helped Edwin Drake to drill the first oil well starting the oil boom. Wilbur himelf was a noted businessman prominent in Arkansas transportation business. According to "Arkansas Democrat" he was born in Titusville PA at the age of 26 he was assistant superintendant at the John Hancock Fire Insurance Company for Buffalo in 1900 he became a manager of small picture theater "Lyric" in Little Rock and by 1918 became an owner of one of the largest auto liveries in the South and of a mammoth Smith Auto Livery Garage since 1920s he owned the Smith-Arkansas Traveler Bus Lines then the largest motor coach operation in the state of Arkansas. He was married to Lucy M. King from Franklin they had a daughter Lucille and a son Harry W. Smith who served in Arkansas National Guard participated in Mexican war and WW1 and is mentioned in relation to the last lynching in Little Rock in 1927 when he was one of the officers leading Arkansas guardsmen that dispersed a rioting mob. Since January 1937 Wilbur was a superintendent of the Arkansas State Capitol. He keeps a meticulous if brief daily record of happenings in his life. He notes that he is in his office most days of the week - Saturday and Sundays included. Here he meets quite a number of people although the nature of their business is not recorded: "Office 9 to 12 noon. Lake Side Directors Mtg 12:15 to 2 P.M. Office Bal of Day Mitchell in Army Navy Club" Jan 13 1931 "At Joes office and Wilson's office. Settled claim . " Jan 21 1931. He spends a great deal of time at the State Capitol building visiting frequently: "Office 6:40 A. M. Will B and R. Kirby called . " Apr 5 1931. In October of 1931 he makes several references to canvassing for an electoral candidate. His activities at the State Capitol continued in 1934. For months he makes repeated references to a "State Cap job" where he attended from about 7:30 until 4:00 PM. Part of his role is apparently to reduce the workforce which certainly reflects the impact of the Depression: "On State Cap job to help lay off." Jan 20 1934 "Went to Cap job to stop men going to work . " Jan 26 1934. "At State Cap job 7:30 til 3:30. Let 10 painters go" Feb 14 1934/ "On job St Cap 7 AM til 5:30. 22 men laid off" Feb 22 1934 His affairs take him out of town and trips include to Brinkley Texarkana and St. Louis. On one trip to Marion he comments: "Went to Marion 10 AM till noon. Kirby and I met a bunch of hill billies ." Jan 7 1934 "In late 1934 he notes transfer of prisoners and meeting at US Marshall's office and at Governor's office. As well on at least 2 occasions he is involved in the transfer of prisoners. All-in-all these are 2 fascinating diaries that paint a picture of a man very much involved in his community. An urban or social historian would find it a valuable resource illustrating business life in the American South during the Depression. His connection to the State government would be very interesting to explore as it seems that he has a lot of influence and/or power. This would be an intriguing aspect of the state government history during the Depression to investigate as well.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY 1930s GREAT DEPRESSION UNITED STATES PULASKI COUNTY WILBUR A.
