1883212Philadelphia 1883. Very good. Vol. I Nos. 1-13. Each issue 8pp. Large folio. Loose issues stitched together at an early date. Light wear and soiling to outer leaves heaviest to first leaf. Daily newspaper published by the Old Guard State Fencibles of Philadelphia during the Fair of the Infantry Battalion held at Industrial Hall in Philadelphia in November 1883. The State Fencibles were a Philadelphia militia unit founded in 1813 and disbanded in 1900 with the advent of the National Guard. The fair for which this paper was issued was a gala bazaar fundraiser which lasted two weeks and drew over 10000 visitors on the opening evening. The content is comprised primarily of advertising with a few pieces on members of the unit and goings-on around the fair. Notably the first page of each issue features a woodcut portrait of one of the members. We find no copies of this periodical in OCLC and presume it was issued in a small number for members of the battalion. It was clearly a souvenir of the event and has been saved here as such. unknown books

The late 19th and early 20th century was an important period in formalizing teacher training and creating pathways for more women to attend Normal Schools and Colleges. By the 20th century nearly 75 percent of America's teachers were female a pattern surely seen in this album filled with women classmates and instructors.

18957168St. Paul: Pioneer Press Co 1895. First and only printing 8vo pp. 87; original blue printed wrappers a few small chips in the spine and mild dampstain entering from top margin else a fine copy. See BAL p. 478 who had not seen a copy. Donnelley left the Republican Party after having served for three terms as Minnesota's Representative in Washington because he saw that the Republicans were "eternally wedded to the interests of the few." In turn he became a Liberal Republican Granger and finally a Greenback-Democrat. As a leader of the Farmers' Alliance in the state legislature he led it "almost to a man" into the Populist party "in the formation of which he had an active part." The Pine Land Investigating Committee was empowered by the state legislature in 1893 to investigate the thievery of timber "stumpage" from timberland in Minnesota. Donnelley was the chairman of the seven-man committee and the report which blew the whistle on the stumpage thieves was written almost entirely by him. <br/><br/> Pioneer Press Co unknown books

19245Undated and uncredited albumen photograph image size 4.75" x 7.75" identified in a handwritten caption on the mount as Forest City a town in Sierra County California where gold was discovered in 1852. Slight fading and spotting crack in the glass negative appearing in lower left but still a clear image of the town; very good overall. By 1854 the town boasted a population of about 1000 and was home to five hotels a school a restaurant two stables two meat markets six carpentry shops four blacksmiths four clothing stores several general stores and of course many saloons. A telegraph line reached the town in 1855. Forest City suffered several devastating fires over the years with the worst one occurring in 1883. Although efforts were made to rebuild most of the mines had dried up and the town's population began a steady decline. Today it is a ghost town. Early images showing the still-prospering town are quite scarce. unknown books
