19290001973CHICAGO ILLINOIS IL. Good. 1929. On offer is a fascinating original manuscript Depression Era 5 year diary handwritten by a girl named June b. November 6 1909 whose surname is likely either Hluegner or Kandles as she has mention two Grandmothers with those names. June is a sad girl lonely for friendship even while a member of a sorority and it seems her happiness depends on her self image and body weight: 'Went to sorority. They all talk about their fellows. Oh lord! A perfect body!' Her sadness is also reflected in her nostalgia for a few moments of happiness in her past: 'in 1927 two years before this time I was seeing David Filerman. Wonder what he's doing now.' Home life is difficult too: 'Chas and Yi came over after Church. Dad certainly is unscientific. He's right. The world's crazy. Such a tirade of abuse I never heard. Too glad to go to Helen's.' She has one older sister Ruth who is 25 in 1929 and doesn't get along with her. Ruth seems to get all the guys eventually to get married in 1933. June is interested in gardening studies botany and music. Her basic premise is to find love marriage and to lose weight. In these 5 years she achieves nothing in that regard although she learns to drive a car on July 5 1929. June wonders Feb. 20 1930 "why I shouldn't act like other girls Why keep myself clean No fun like others." June is in turmoil about being able to go to college primarily The Principia A School and College for Christian Scientists to which she was accepted July 8 1929 but her attendance seems delayed due to financial difficulties. She does begin to attend in 1932 and also joins the school Glee Club. Besides attending school June works in an office. June does not have an aptitude for studies i.e. October 20 1931 E-French D-European History C-Geology and English and B-Botany. Every so often June laments the fact that she has no boyfriend no money nothing! She does not get along with her father but loves him dearly. Sometimes there's a reprieve and they have a lovely time together. June loves her mother though her mother has expectations of June i.e. her mother would have a fit if she learned she gained 10 lbs. She hates Chicago and often mentions taking grandparents and going shopping in Chicago. She might be living on the outskirts because one entry observes July 20 1931 that the grain is all cut and stacked. This Depression era diary notes on May 11 1930 "most of the furniture gone from the house couldn't give mother anything for Mother's Day". On March 9 1931 "not much food in the house but will manage - so hungry and cold". Then later that year March 26 the family receives a check for $8870.44 and they in turn are very happy. Some miscellaneous observations include: March 4 1933 President Roosevelt elected and March 8 1933 "House meeting on Death" and May 30 1933 "went to Art Institute and saw period rooms and painting exhibit" and June 22 1933 "Went to World's Fair - Marvellous". The approximately 395 page book is well filled and for researchers and historians of Chicago area Depression Era or women's studies will be hard pressed to find a more interesting peek into the world of this young woman.

193610688Los Angeles 1936. Near fine. Folio pp. 56 illustrations advertisements full page Coca-Cola ad in color on the inside back cover. Nice art deco front cover. Separate sheet "Today's Racing Entries Friday September Fourth laid in loose. -- No notable defects. -- Overall Condition. "The National Air Races also known as Pulitzer Trophy Races are a series of pylon and cross-country races that have taken place in the United States since 1920. The science of aviation and the speed and reliability of aircraft and engines grew rapidly during this period; the National Air Races were both a proving ground and showcase for this. -- In 1920 publisher Ralph Pulitzer sponsored the Pulitzer Trophy Race and the Pulitzer Speed Trophy for military airplanes at Roosevelt Field Long Island New York in an effort to publicize aviation and his newspaper. The races eventually moved to Cleveland in 1929 where they were known as the Cleveland National Air Races.2 They drew the best flyers of the time including James Doolittle Wiley Post Tex Rankin Frank Hawks Jimmy Wedell Roscoe Turner and others from the pioneer age of aviation. These air races helped to inspire Donald Blakeslee as a young boy. Other races included in the U.S. National Air Races were the Mitchell Trophy Race the Town & Country Club Race for civilians the Kansas City Rotary Club Trophy "for all three military services" and the Glenn Curtiss Trophy Race for "biplanes with engines having less than 510 cubic inches. Starting in 1929 the races usually ran for up to 10 days usually from late August to early September to include Labor Day. Aviation promoter Cliff Henderson was managing director of the National Air Races from 1928 to 1939. During World War II the races were on hiatus. The races included a variety of events including cross-country races originating in Portland Oakland and Los Angeles with a final destination in Cleveland.4: 79-81 Also included were landing contests glider demonstrations airship flights and parachute-jumping contests. The more popular events were the Thompson Trophy Races which started in 1929; a closed-course race where aviators raced their planes around pylons; and the Bendix Trophy Race the "transcontinental air race" across most of the USA starting in 1931. In 1929 a Santa Monica California to Cleveland Ohio route was started for the Women's Air Derby nicknamed the "Powder Puff Derby" featuring well-known female pilots such as Amelia Earhart Pancho Barnes Bobbi Trout and Louise Thaden. Thaden was the winner in the heavy Class D engines with 510-810 cubic inches 8400-13300 cm3 while Phoebe Omlie won the light Class C engines with 275-510 cubic inches 4510-8360 cm3. This was also the year for the first female pylon race the winner of which was awarded the Aerol Trophy beginning in 1931".-wikipedia. unknown
19470001605ASHLAND DAYTON ORRVILLE OHIO OH. Good. 1947. On offer is an original very intriguing 1947 manuscript diary and journal of a terrible post World War II child custody case and divorce. Unique for the times this was handwritten by an unidentified rural Ohioan who may have been either a Myers or Garver as he identifies 2 uncles. The author tells of his daily life which usually revolved around his large extended family the churches he attended and automobiles which he repaired and worked on all the time though he did do other work including farming. But right from the start the reader sees a pattern begin: the first entry is January 5th where he writes he has loaded up his car went to Ashland by 6:30 pm and then slept on his mother's davenport. He is also sick with a cold that never seems to end. Other entries mention more family travels large amounts of cash buying a car selling a house long and late hours weather reports and concerns and social observations. Yet all the while in the background are his health and the ups and downs of his divorce. He appears to be ill a lot perhaps the stress he sees the doctor many tests different shots and so on. In July he is in trouble with the law who seem only too glad to give him a hard time even though he has legal counsel. A part of the diary tells of his struggles with his own child custody case in which he is trying to get custody of his child. He notes trial dates of which he was never informed. The custody case and visitation get very dramatic as his ex-wife or girlfriend tries hiding the child from him in Alabama. He travels to Jacksonville to talk to the Mayor who took him to the High School where he had traced his daughter Sylvia. He also travels to Alabama and Florida searching for his high school age daughter Sylvia. Later he went to Birmingham to enlist the help of the Sherriff. This whole case would have been very unusual for the time. He does a super job recording each and every visitor companion and family member: Uncles Charles Myers Uncle Newton Garver Woodford Howard Leroy Reynolds Glen McFern Paul Sharpe heard Dr. Davis missionary 35 years in India at a lecture sleeps at the church one night Joe Bagelys Chippewa Lakes Park Lattasburg downtown Dayton Mansfield Perrysville Jeromeville plus dozens of places on his travels.

19480012258Worcester Massachusetts. Good with no dust jacket. 1948. Hardcover. On offer is an interesting journal kept by a very well-read woman in mid-century Massachusetts. The journal belonged to Elizabeth Hazen Beard nee Sherborne or Sherburne 1909-1993. She was born in Worcester Massachusetts to parents Mary Alicia Hazen and WIlliam Frances Sherborne Sherburne where she lived her entire life. She attended Milford High School and then Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She married Sidney Beard a tool maker and together they had two sons David and William. This journal has multiple components though its main focus is on Beards literary interests. Though census data indicates that Beard did not have a career outside of the home it seems she was part of a literary society or other academic club. In this journal she writes what seems to be a lengthy lecture about contemporary childrens literature where she discusses the benefits of reading for children as well as several childrens books and authors. Some of the childrens books she discusses are Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McClaskey a book of animal stories by George Duplaix The Little History of the United States by Mable Pyne Airplane Ready by Sanford Tuasey Little Boat Boy by Jean Bothwell. Later in the journal she writes another lengthy lecture where she focuses on the Massachusetts literary scene including its authors Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson places famous local authors wrote their masterpieces local landmarks that are important in literature and more. Her final lecture that she recorded in this journal is titled Reading I have Enjoyed. Here she writes extensively on the book Early American Decoration by Esther Brazer. Beard is well-written bright thoughtful and deeply passionate about literature. Her written lectures read like elaborate book reports with added elements of history and philosophy. Another interesting feature of the journal are two essays dealing with geopolitics - completely unrelated to Beards work on literature. These two essays are written in a hand that is not Beards and the author is unknown. The first essay is titled Changing Ideas of Empire England and the second is untitled but is about the Wests relationship with Russia and the Cold War. One of the essays is written within the pages of the journal and the second is tipped in. Both are written by an intelligent and knowledgeable author and are written as speeches just as Beards entries are. These were written much later than Beards work as they reference a deep conflict between West and Russia focused on Russia fomenting Muslim discontent in Iran. There is no hint as to who is the author of these two sections. Some brief excerpts follow: Reading is one of lifes recreations. Thoughtful parents teachers and friends should help to instill the love of books with as sure a place and as great patience as are employed in cultivating good manners honesty unselfishness and other fundamental habits of life . Mass is rich with places of literary interest and abounds with scenes reminiscent of our best loved authors. If certain of your pet authors receive little or no mention in this paper I hope you will forgive these sins of omission as time permits me to mention only a few of the many. Reading I Have Enjoyed The book I have chosen for my subject is one that I am constantly reading and referring to as an enthusiast of handwork and decoration . For anyone with an interest in 20th century literature and literary endeavours this is a must-own manuscript. It would also be of interest to a gender studies program as Beard is recorded in the history books as a Housewife yet this journal presents her as a bright and brilliant mind with much going on outside of her domestic life. The journal measures about 9x7 inches and contains 84 pages. It is about 90% complete. The book is hardcover and the covers are in good condition. There is some wear on the corners. The binding is in good condition and the pages are glued and sewn though loosening. The lined pages are in good condition. The handwriting is quite legible.

1820G62G5001U79OBordeaux 1820. Folio 32.5 x 21 cm & 4to 19.5 x 20.5 cm. Two signed autograph letters in dark brown ink on paper 1 laid watermarked B Dumas; 1 wove with no watermark. 2 2 blank; 2 2 blank pp. Two letters by Jacques René Pleuc or possibly Pleve officer of the infamous French 18-gun privateer Le Grand Décidé which had been operating out of Bordeaux since 1799 under its captain Duchesne Lasalle for its owner Pierre Leleu. With the capture of the English frigate Liverpool off the coast of Brittany near Brest in 1799 Jacques René was made Capitaine de Prise giving him responsibility for the captured ship. In the first letter he writes to Auguste-Anne Bergevin 1753-1831 the relevant authority at Bordeaux complaining that Leleu has still not paid the promised share of the proceeds from the sale of the booty which was carried out by the brothers Amédée and Joseph Eugène Larrieu in Bordeaux. The second letter is addressed to the Larrieu brothers still trying to secure payment referring to the earlier letter and naming the ship and the amount of money 5000 francs not noted in the first letter.The first letter somewhat tattered at the head with the loss of parts of 3 or 4 words and both were formerly folded for sending. Both are in good condition. A fascinating primary source providing a window into the logistics and finance of a privateering venture. unknown
