18640002339WITH THE 2ND NEW HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT. Good. 1864. On offer is a superb original historically significant manuscript diary and relic of the Civil War handwritten by noted Chaplain John Wesley Adams born in Townsend Massachusetts in 1832 the seventh generation ancestor of the Presidents Adams. On December 5 1863 Mr. Adams was commissioned chaplain of General Gilman Marston's original command "The Fighting Second".

19120008211BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1912. On offer is a small original diary of a young man in the early years of the 20th Century. Measuring 4.75 inches by 3 inches it contains 365 pages. It is approximately 33% complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition. The handwriting is legible. EDITOR'S NOTE: While there is nothing in this diary to identify the author the item came from an archive related to Wesley Abell who graduated from the University of Vermont was inducted into their Football Hall of Fame and after graduating built a career in the municipal service of Burlington VT eventually becoming City Clerk. In 1912 he is a young man living with relatives and working in Boston MA in 1912. He has secured work as a driver/conductor for the Boston Elevated Street Railway. This is not his long term future goal for in September of 1912 he leaves home to attend the University of Vermont. The entries are fairly straightforward: "Jan 1 '12 finds me working for the Boston Elevated Street Railroad Co. I am staying with Uncle .wn in morning and done my a/ 521 .45 530 .30 Total .75 Excused until 4 o'clock b/ done a 531 .45 & 525 .30 Total .75 c met cars from 6 o'c til 7 o'c Total for day $1.80" Jan 1 1912; "For my A.M. this morn I had 2 534 .60. Was then excused until 4 o'c when I went and done a half for 4 th consisting of 504 and 520 Pay for the day - $1.75" Feb 24 1912; "Today I had a swing beginning at 8:27. Done four trips and then layed off til 6:07. Earl Sunderl was over to see me. Total $2.30 Paid." Mar 3 1913; "After April 5th there are no entries until June. On June 7th it apears that he is running a union picket line - with expected consequences! This morn I went down to run a trip at 5 o'c. On starting out on trip I was met by a bunch of strikers who threw eggs at me. Worked all day mid yells of scab and all sorts of other names. The strikers tried their best to get me to leave my car but I stuck it out". June 7 1912; This entry is significant because it refers to the Boston Elevated Street Railway strike of 1912. This was a serious labour dispute over the organizing of a union there and the demand for better wages. The strike began on June 7th and soon spiraled into violence. Court crack downs were draconian and the strike seemed poised to spread to other cities. The major turning point in the strike however came as a result of charges filed with the State Board of Conciliation and Arbitration. The Board released a report which upheld the Union's charges and placed the blame for the strike on the Management. The Board found that the Management had discharged employees solely for their Union activities had brought in strike breakers such as our author and convicted felons who were employed as strong-arm men and had coerced employees against joining the Union. After the Board's report The Governor and the Mayor of Boston became actively involved in settling the strike. The Mayor of Boston in 1912 was John F. Fitzgerald affectionately referred to as "Honey Fitz". Fitzgerald was the maternal grandfather of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy and great grandfather of Congressman Joe Kennedy. In September he is off to university: "This morn I packed my trunks and papa carried me to St. A to take train for college. Earle A and F Stevens went down with me. Met lots of nice fellows in B and spent time with Hayden and Wesley Sturgis at Converse Hall". Sept 24. This diary offers an interesting look into one of the urban transport companies from the point of view of an ordinary worker. For a social historian it provides a flavour and a sense of what work was like in industrialized Boston at the turn of the last century. It also touches on a very key time in labour organizing in the United States. ; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 20TH CENTURY; 1910S; PROGRESSIVE ERA; UNITED STATES; BOSTON; MASSACHUSETTS; VERMONT; BOSTON ELEVATED STREET RAILROAD; UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT; CONVERSE HALL; JOHN F.

19580002131New York NY. Very Good. 1958. On offer is a super original relic of the Civil Rights era and the real bitterness and rage felt by some if not many on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement being the personal copy of the 128 page manifesto-autobiography 'Here I Stand' by Paul Robeson published in 1958 by Othello Associates New York owned annotated and underlined throughout by Wesley A. Williams 1897 - 1984. The target of lifelong racism as the third African-American man ever to join in 1919 the New York Fire Service Williams' ownership signature and despairing annotations fill the book from the front pastedown on: almost every page bears Williams' underlining but it is his commentary as it responds to Robeson's text which is revealing and intensely moving. The pages are stained with his holographic bitterness: he writes regarding the chapter 'Love will find out the way' in the aftermath of the assassination of President Kennedy Williams' comments: 'This Paul is your dream. Today I dream no more as I have lived my 66 years against this brutal white American who lives and dies on the blood of all people. A people who assassinate a good man like their President Kennedy - Kill coloured Sunday school children. Will stop at Nothing. They respect nothing but Force.' Underneath Robeson's suggestion that 'We must wait we are told until the hearts of those who persecute us have softened' Williams has jotted: 'That would be Never'. HISTORICAL NOTES: Wesley Williams joined the New York City Fire Department in 1919 and on the same day the Captain of the Engine Company retired and every other man requested reassignment. Williams persevered in the face of discrimination and became the prime mover in the creation of the Vulcan Society which exposed segregation within the Department. ; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF CIVIL RIGHTS ERA WESLEY A.
