On February 4th 1889 Governor Moonlight signed a pardon for twenty year old Harry Longabaugh who later became known as the "Sundance Kid".

18730399131873. Original manuscript. Hardcover. 48pp of handwritten sentiments from friends and family; four engraved plates tissue guards title-page vignette. Bound in red morocco blind-stamped decorations chrome-litho floral pieces on both covers gilt cover lettering and spine decorations all edges gilt. 8.25" x 6.5". Pieces of spine covering chipped from both ends; internally in very good condition. Many of the entires in this album were written at Tiskilwa Mt. Carroll and Rochelle all in Illinois and a few others are from Boston Orange NJ and St. Louis. Most are in ink a few in fading but readable pencil. Several contain richly calligraphed phrases or titles within their text while one woman offers three animal sketches 2 dogs and a buck. Some of the non-calligraphic hands are nevertheless beautiful and flowing illustrating the importance of penmanship in the school curricula of the day. Many entries contain short poems and some of these appear to be original since they mention “Mary†or “my sister†etc. ~~ Mary's album documents the prevailing sentiments of the era with inspirational messages on the importance of living a Christian life trusting in God/Jesus etc. Only a few are of the “remember me†variety. Some writings take up a full page including those of her father William R. Webb and her mother both religious. There are also entries by her father-in-law B. Lichty who signs with “Bless you is the prayer of your unworthy father†and by her sister Ada. One signer Will P. Hallett of Mt. Carroll writes that he’s signing the book “although I have not as yet formed your acquaintance†and goes on to hope that if they don’t meet “in this sinful world may God help us to meet around his throne….†An entry from Mrs. C.B. Boyer notes that “One year ago you came to us as a stranger and today you leave for your new home.†and concludes with sending her good wishes. The only signer of historical note seems to be Joseph Morris Ray who signed as “your friend†in June 1873 and later became an Iowa attorney and State Senator 1893-95 after residing in Mt. Carroll for many years. hardcover
