19045847Milford Del: The Club; Printed at the Caulk Press 1904. Octavo 23.25 x 16 cm. 134 pages. Advertisements. Errata list tipped in. Chairman from Introduction page 17. Date of publication determined from internal evidence. ~ Evident first edition. A community cookbook undertaken by a recently formed women's social activist club; with more than four hundred attributed recipes. Entries whose details hold promise: Corned Shad Celeried Oysters Creamed Dried Beef Glazed Sweet Potatoes Succotash requiring one third more corn than beans Delaware Biscuits Potato Rolls Crab Salad Moonshine Pudding Frozen Cherry Custard Quince and Pear Marmalade Preserved Cantaloupe Rind Peach Wine Homemade Hoarhound. ~ Encoded in the title is a sort of hybrid of local pride and patriotic fervor: the Delaware Blue Hen is a traditional landrace analogous to a cultivar - that is not a breed but rather a stock variety - whose origins are alleged to date to the Revolutionary Era. A perennial symbol of tenacity it would be adopted in 1939 as Delaware's state bird. A prefatory note page 18 provides one clue to the date of publication in a reference to the "six years and more of the existence of the Club" which "was organized February 14th 1898." Confirmation is supplied on page 8 by an advertisement for Walter Pardoe's furniture store which brackets its years of service to the community as 1877-1904. ~ Mary Louise Donnell Mrs. George William Marshall 1853-1933 married into a prominent family of physicians who were instrumental in establishing the first hospital in Milford and in codifying its emergency care. She served as president of the Delaware State Federation of Women's Clubs during the first decade of the last century thereby energizing the membership of the Milford Club through her connections across the state and her engagement of speakers on subjects as wide-ranging as agriculture and nutrition. ~ The Milford New Century Club took its name from one of the earliest documented women's clubs founded in the United States the New Century Club in Philadelphia organized as a direct result of interest in the Women's Pavilion of the Centennial Exposition. In its wake social activists found common cause in promoting vocational training for women reforms in public education and child labor laws and women's suffrage. Women of the Milford New Century Club set about raising funds to purchase a schoolhouse known as the Classical Academy - which George Marshall had attended - for use as their meeting house. Thanks in part to the success of The Blue Hen's Chicken's Cook Book they completed the purchase in 1905. ~ The clubhouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Almost exactly thirty years later in 2012 the building was gravely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Amidst the tumult that followed a Milford couple arranged to purchase and restore it through procurement of grants from the National Park Service. The building was rededicated in June 2015. ~ Some age-toning especially at the edges. In publisher's yellow cloth rubbed and soiled with lettering and an image of hen and chicks in blue. Ink signature of collector Eloise Schofield to front flyleaf and with her embossed "ex libris" on title page. Scarce. OCLC locates one copy of the first edition and seven copies of the second edition printed by Milford Publishing in 1921; Cook page 48 with different pagination; Bitting pages 520-521; and Brown 399 both acknowledge the second edition only; not in Cagle.

Wonderful Photographic Record of Sporting Life among the Well to do in the Early Decades of the 20th Century Including Images oABAA

Sporting life for the well-to-do at the turn of the 20th century as recorded in two period photograph albums containing more than five hundred images primarily related to family life and travel including golf hunting boating tennis and auto racing and touring chronicling the travels and sporting activities of E.W. Bigelow of Brooklyn New York and his family 1905-1926 with his ownership signature and address on the pastedown of the first volume. Pinehurst North Carolina Detroit Michigan and other places 1905-1920 and 1922-1926

59115Photograph albums. Oblong folio. 2 volumes: 401 mounted photographs 4 3/8 x 2 to 3 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches; 102 mounted photographs 2 3/4 x 1 7/8 to 3 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches predominantly of the larger size in both volumes and with nearly all of the images captioned in white. Included are sections dedicated to Pinehurst North Carolina 75 images Lake Placid New York 37 Detroit Michigan 68 and several other eastern United States locales where Bigelow and his family lived and vacationed and depictions of the Sound Beach Golf Club of Old Greenwich Connecticut in its inaugural year of 1905 6 the Detroit Country Club in 1905 4 the Pinehurst Golf Club in 1905 16 identifying golfers George Low Sr. Alex Findlay Andrew Kirkaldy Alan Lard and Donald and Alec Ross photo-essays on the 1906 and 1910 Vanderbilt Cup Automobile Races at Westbury Long Island 13 Dyker Meadow Golf Club in 1907 Brooklyn New York 6 the White Mountain Express train wreck of 1908 4 Salisbury Golf Links & Club in 1911 Garden City New York 6 a 1911 Lake Placid fire department drill 7 and the Ann Arbor and Detroit Golf Clubs in 1915 and 1925 8. Scattered through the text are images of other golf courses and country club buildings a baseball game and cricket match horseback riding and other outdoor sporting activities making a total of about 130 in the album 25 per cent of the total. Covers very worn but images for the most part are bright and sharp. Original gilt-stamped suede rear cover detached spine eroded yapped edges chipped and gilt-stamped brown fabrikoid tied original ties replaced. #6114. Of particular interest is the 75-image section documenting the early days of the Pinehurst development a photo-essay examining the relatively new golf resort which had opened its first course in 1899 and saw Donald Ross appointed golf pro there in 1900 a position he would hold until his death in 1948 productive decades that would find him designing over 400 courses in the United States; this section of the first album includes in addition to the 16 images of the golf course and golfers photographs of the train depot a "Negro cabin" 'possum hunting elaborate cottages the town hall an African-American with his wagon pulled by the "oldest mule in the state" sand hills pine stands and other scenery quail hunting the deer park owl cage and hennery the golf club house and an old turpentine mill. Other sections of the albums picture Bigelow and his family living vacationing and participating in various outdoor activities as they moved from Brooklyn to Greenwich and Farmington Connecticut Long Island Grosse Point Michigan and Philadelphia and visited a wide range of cities and outdoor destinations in the south middle Atlantic and upper midwest states. The Vanderbilt cup race was the first major trophy in American auto racing; the inaugural race in 1904 and the next two were held on winding dirt roads in Nassau County Long Island suspended for a year and then held 1908-1910 on the Long Island Motor Parkway the first specially built racetrack in America. We have not found much information on Bigelow; apparently he studied at Cornell in the 1880s playing on the baseball team competed in tennis and golf tournaments around New York in the 1890s and 1900s and was a member of the Brooklyn Boat Club in the 1910s. Nevertheless his photograph albums offered here provide an expansive look at the leisure activities of the well-to-do in the early decades of the 20th century especially revealing for the views of American golf courses clubs and play just at the time when the wave of professionals from Scotland began to make their presence felt with improved course design and instruction. <br/><br/> unknown books
