On offer is an original manuscript diary dated 1935 beginning August 17th when the author sets off on the SS American Legion with her husband Harold. Research suggests her husband's last name is Miller as she identifies 'Mother Miller' as one of the well wishers when they board the ship. Her birthday is celebrated the very next day aboard ship. She begins to study Portuguese in earnest. In Rio they stay at the 'Gloria'; she reports that everything is very queer and she is scared to death; the language is impossible; lovely descriptions of Rio de Janeiro; going to Coco Casino; the mountains.

0012279Hartstown Crawford County Pennsylvania West Fallowfield. Good with no dust jacket. Non-Book. On offer is an exciting collection of the thorough research conducted by a career educator published author and serious genealogist focusing on his hometown of Hartstown Crawford County Pennsylvania and the neighbouring West Fallowfield Township. The researcher/author is one Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Miller was the author of two books each thoroughly researched genealogical treasures focused on the history of his family. He published A History and Genealogy of the Miller Family 1725-1933 tracing his fathers roots in 1933 and A History and Genealogy of the John Ellis Family 1797-1935 tracing his mothers roots in 1936. According to a letter from the Crawford Historical Society he was conducting this research with plans to write the History of Hartstown. To learn more about Milo Miller SEE BIO NOTES following this listing. This research archive contains dozens of letters received by Miller most handwritten or typed by the author some transcribed by hand or typewriter by Miller. The letters Miller received were in response to his requests for information on the histories of a number of prominent Crawford County families including the following: Martzall St. Clair Henry Rankin Lee and the family of Benjamin F. Ellis. The letters in this archive show that many were pleased to help Miller conduct this research into Hartstown and West Fallowfield. Their letters contain pages of detailed information about the families their lineage and connections within Crawford County. Some respondents refer Miller to others who may be able to help further. Miller made an effort to get data from the Crawford Historical Society but he hit a dead end. He also made an effort to acquire census records from the National Archives in Washington but they were under national emergency protocol due to the war and were unable to help. As well as research on families Miller was interested in the history of Hartstown physicians schools the postal service and more. The archive contains statistics and other data compiled typed and collated by Miller about the postal service and postmasters of Hartstown family doctors the history of the school districts in the region the Scotch-Irish in Western PA and the Freewill Baptist Church in Adamsville It seems Miller compiled data for at least four chapters if not more of his planned book on Hartstowns history. Some of his typed pages include glued-in photographs and it appears a book was taking form. Unfortunately Miller did not publish the book. We know his wife Maude died in September 1942 and his work on this book seemed to dwindle after that. We also know he started spending more months of the year in California after her death which may also relate to why he abandoned this project. This archive is an outstanding source of primary source documents for any Pennsylvania-related collector or researcher. The work Miller has done to acquire the information and organize the documentation in typed draft pages is useful for any budding researcher. It would be pretty remarkable if a modern-day researcher chose to use Millers work and finish the book on Hartstown and West Fallowfield that he began. BIO NOTES ON MILO H. MILLER: Milo H.

On offer is a collection of 32 lengthy newsy emotional letters written between 1942-1947 by a highly respected elderly Hartstown Pennsylvania man to his younger brother. The letters in this archive are written by Myron Manson Miller 1859-1949 to his brother Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Myron and Milo were born to parents Samuel K. Miller 1822-1896 and Silence Ford Ellis 1828-1899 near Hartstown Crawford County PA. Both made a significant impact on Hartstown. To learn about Myron and Milo Miller SEE BIO NOTES at the end of the listing. Myron is living out his retirement in Hartstown PA. Milo is first living in Pittsburgh and then moves to California. Myrons first letter to Milo is dated August 26 1942. At the time Milo and Maude live in Pittsburgh. Maude would soon pass away on September 14 due to complications of diabetes. Myrons early letters are mainly focused on Maudes medical condition and death. The tone of the letters is brotherly loving and helpful. An excerpt: .I have attended a lot of funerals in my time and looked at the dead but I never saw as beautiful a body as Maudes she looked as though she was going to speak to you and the flowers and all arrangements was perfect let us know when you will be up.

He shares updates from the community in Hartstown his large family his and Sarahs declining health his views on globally significant affairs such as impacts of the war on food supply and costs. Milo seems to be working on a new genealogy research project on the Martzall family Nov 17 1942 letter but we do not learn much about it. The letters are all long between two and seven pages all packed with content. Some excerpts attempt to give the flavour of this impressive archive: .We are to have a big wedding in the UP church here Saturday Dec 19 at 3PM.

It surely brings back our boyhood always Are you afraid of the Japs coming to the west coast I have noticed in the paper that they say they are coming over to pay California a visit May 21 1943. .it has been an awful wet spring very few of the farmers was able to get any oats in and lots of corn to plant yet grass is a whopper of a crop and wheat is generally good but tell me how we are supposed to stand the prices we have to pay for what we eat meat from 35 cents to 75 cents per # and everything else in proportion June 20 1943. .we was glad to hear of the arrival of an other Miller child being born to Ellis and wife. They will catch up with James. He is one ahead of them yet . Are you planning on coming East Sade and I get very hungry to see our own flesh and blood.

Sade had a hemorrhage of the bowels I called Dr. Collins at Adamsville and he responded at once I phoned James and he phoned Mark James and Adelaid would be up before night Adelaid staid with us the week Margaret McElhaney Claras daughter died in Madville Hospital August 30.

There is only one letter from 1944 written from Myron to Milo in March following Myrons fall on the ice in Hartstown and only one letter from 1945. Excerpts: .the boys called Dr. Ghost of Greenville to see me he came 2 times a week and treated me. I am gaining slowly suppose you have made up your mind that my Dr is not an MD. He his an osteopath He has all the sore spots healed but one and that is in the right hip joint the boys got a telephone installed so they can keep in touch with us. They come up to see us quite often March 16 1944. I want to congratulate you on being Great Grandfather. I had been hoping for the same title for some time tell Bob and Betty to take good care of the young man and we hope his Father will get home to him soon The Dept of Forest and Waters are transferring all the national parks in Pennsylvania all the parks will be governed from Harrisburg. They claim that politics will play no part in the personnel Mark has 11 years now under civil service the longer he stays the larger his pension will be Nov 20 1945. As the years go on both Myron and Sarah begin declining in health and mobility which Myron mentions in each letter though he maintains a positive spirit. Excerpts: .Our postmaster had resigned - she is moving to San Francisco. Her husband and brother are there now working in a neon light plant We think Mrs. Patterson the owner of the store across the street will be appointed we are hoping so as we dont want the office taken any further away Jan 9 1946. .I suggest you hang on to Ellis until you get him to do just what you have planned. I want to spend a few hours on that old back porch smoking tobacco and hash over old times. You will probably have a hard time getting your renter out but perhaps you can buy him off April 1 1946. .We are having a strike now of the coal miners dont know how long it will last I had the good luck to get 27.00 coal this evening which last until May 1 we lost a good neighbor the 27 of March Abe Palmanteer left us and we are going to miss him a lot Mrs. Fran Dickey has been keeping house for him since Anna died April 1 1946. It has been a busy summer in Hartstown. We have had a lot of changes in our population several deaths and real estate also. The lease property was sold to two different parties. The east side which took the store and barn in was sold to a man by the name of Serfant and he has put in a red and white store so we have two stores now instead of one. The balance of the property was bought by a man who married Marie Ellis Thayers oldest daughter June by the name of Urey and they are living in the Case Homestead Oct 21 1946. Sarah has been crippled up all summer can hardly get around to do her work her feet brother all the time wish Mother and I could have our home with one of the boys to look after us we wont freeze or starve but we get enough to eat by paying the Democratic prices. We pay 1.00 a pound for butter hamburger steak 40 cents Beef steak 1.25 and for Bacon we have forgot what it looks like Oct 21 1946.

Myron goes into depth about everything he discusses - his familys personal and career changes his life at home with Sarah Hartstowns many citizens and their life events his views on the government and the war effort and his fears for the future. Some of the many themes of these letters are the challenges of aging in a time of inconsistent communication and transportation rural Pennsylvania daily life the impact of wartime policy on rural Pennsylvania and the many tragedies of loss in old age friends family and ones former self and many more. These letters are an absolute treasure trove of rural Pennsylvania and Crawford County history and would make a tremendous addition to the collection of anyone interested in aging and survival in the mid 20th century.

19400002096LUFT. D. CAMP IV STALAG GERMANY. Good. 1940. On offer is a sensational original World War II manuscript relic being the 50 page handwritten diary and ephemera of American Airman Marvin J. Miller who documents his capture and time spent in Luft. D. Camp IV Stalag considered one of the most violent and brutal German prison camps noted for bayoneting prisoners beating and mistreating them as a matter of routine in IV-D and after the war there were hearings on this camp in a rough notebook he traded for cigarettes from a camp guard. While Marvin a devout Latter Day Saint didn't smoke he did play Pinochle and he always had a supply for barter. The diary starts out with their ill fated mission; Marvin was in the top turret of a B-24 flying with the 464th Bomb Group in the 776th Bomb Squadron and was shot down on 24 August 1944 flying in "COM-BATTY" which was stationed in Pantanella Italy and was lost to enemy action on a mission to Pardubice Czechoslovakia. Marvin was on the February 6th "Black March" also called the "Starvation March" a long and arduous forced march from the Stalag that took 86 days and nearly 600 miles until liberated on April 26th 1945. He was very ill with dysentery and even while in the sick detachment and he names the men who died from pneumonia etc. Even amidst the horror of captivity by the Germans Marvin and his chums still have times for humor recording a few pages from letters of fellow POWs that had black humor to them. He also wrote several fine poems and thoughts on flying German Flak War Love Peace and Food! He meticulously records the contents of the various Care Packages that the Red Cross delivered: super detailed content and record of daily life in the Stalag and Liberation. Flak smoke in the sky enemy fighters and interrogations. Marvin does a super job with some very stirring and poetic words as well as just plain telling it like it was. Historians and researchers will appreciate Marvin's contribution to history recording the names and addresses of many of his friends that he's made in camp and acquaintances. Listing them by Stalag Building Number and then by room. Many are local Utah internees. Included are four photos taken in Halle of wrecked German ME-109 STUKAS an 88 and a girl on a bicycle and a letter written to Marvin while in captivity!

19460012281Hartstown Pennsylvania. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1946. Non-Book. On offer are a series of three letters from a man moving to Virginia to work at George Washingtons National Monument and making a new home in Montross Virginia the very year it was incorporated by the Circuit Court of Westmoreland County. The letters are those of Samuel Marcus Mark Miller 1889-1949 to his uncle Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Mark writes to his uncle of his elderly parents in Hartstown Pennsylvania his adult children and his wife Dora. However the main focus of his letters is on his job and his move to Montross Virginia. Mark was an employee of the National Parks Services and had been working in Bedford County PA since 1935. The National Parks Services transferred a large number of Pennsylvania land to the Department of Forests and Waters to the state as of January 31 1946. Marks employer offered him a job in Virginia and at 57-years-old he had no choice but to take it in order to finish his career with a comfortable pension. Marks first letter is dated January 1946. He tells his Uncle the news about his job and the changes in the Parks Services his plan to drive to Virginia to check it out and seek housing and his reluctance to move. By his second letter in September 1946 Mark and Dora are living in a short-term rental in the region while they seek long-term housing. He provides a pretty good description of the history of the region its connection to George Washington and how the National Monument site where he works was developed and funded. In his final letter written in December 1946 Mark shares that he finally found housing in Montross VA less than 12 miles from George Washingtons National Monument. He gives a very thorough description of Montross in 1946 his knowledge of the governments work and plans for the National Monument and his work and colleagues with the National Parks Services as a clerk at the monument. Some excerpts provide a sense of the content: " The Blue Knob Recreational Demonstration Area Union Twp - Bedford County Penna upon which I have been located since Mar 1935 is being transferred to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Dept of Forests and Water as of Jan 31 1946. The National Park Service have offered me a position of lesser rank and with less pay at George Washington Birthplace National Monument Westmoreland County Virginia Dora and I will drive down in about a week from now Jan 1946. .I can now retire at 65 with about a $90.00 per month pension. This with some part time work will provide for Dora and I Marilyn has only one year at Indiana after this year then she will be on her own if she gets a school and they dont seem to have any trouble locating their graduates from the State Teachers Colleges Jan 1946. .Quite lonesome here for Dora as we are back in the country and only one other family lives here which is quite close and helps some. This area is known as George Washingtons Birthplace National Monument and we have a post office here which is Washingtons Birthplace Va Sept 1946. Mother and Dad are about as good as one can expect. Dad is really in better shape than Mother.Ken is in Sharon with Westinghouse where he has been since 1937. They have a very nice home that they build and Mrs. Adsit is with them. She is in pretty bad shape Sept 1946. .Very old town but only incorporated within the last 6 mos. Population 250. 1 Courthouse. 2 Banks. 2 Drugstores. 2 Service stations. 2 garages. 2 grocery and meat stores. 2 barber shops 1 White and 1 Colored.Quite an industry in some sections. Many tomatoes raised each year and several canneries on this neck. The courthouse records contain an inventory of personal property of George Washingtons father . So you can see it is quite an old town Dec 1946. .Only two houses on the Monument or I would have been living there too. Expect Govt will build another house or two before long. The organization here is quite small. Supt - Clerk - Historical Aide - 2 laborers and a colored woman who cleans Dec 1946. Sadly Mark would die unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 60 not fulfilling his plan to work to 65 for the pension. Taken together these letters provide both an insightful look at the challenges of the working class in the immediate post-war era and a truly fascinating dive into the tiny but significant town of Montross Virginia in its very early days. BIO NOTES: Samuel Marcus Mark Miller 1889-1949. Born in Hartstown Pennsylvania to Myron Manson Miller 1859-1949 and Sarah Mitchell 1861-1949 Mark married Lucy Violet Adsit 1910-1923.

These 1952 issues feature pivotal contributions by influential genre authors such as Isaac Asimov Walter M. Miller Jr. Jack Vance Gordon R. Dickson and Eric Frank Russell. While Campbell's editorial direction leaned heavily toward hard science narratives this archive also reflects early intersections with Cold War anxiety postwar technocratic idealism and philosophical experimentation that would lay groundwork for New Wave science fiction.

19620001917FIRE ISLAND NEW YORK FLATBUSH BROOKLYN NYC. Good. 1962. On offer is a fascinating and sometimes very sad peek into the mind and soul of a 1960s Hippie Era woman who details her dreams her therapy sessions and her deepest darkest and most personal revealing thoughts on her psycho sexual problems within this original handwritten and typed manuscript archive. A rather beautiful woman included are approximately 12 photos of her and her cat Nina as she refers to herself married name is likely Miller as her husband is Chuck Miller is very much the beatnik bohemian and hippie who reveals and extraordinarily intimate personal history following almost a clichéd life: writing originally we believe from either Flatbush or Brooklyn New York she settled in Fire Island in the 1950s and remained through most of the 1960s. She seems to be of a European background likely French mentioning many friends in England and France her husband is a writer addicted to pornography. In her notes she mentions it was her ability and love of talking 'sexy-dirty' that netted him back when they first met but the origin of her problems begin with childhood and abandonment issues. As per her therapist she records many of her dreams experiments with marijuana as part of her treatment and within the pages of the archive we read of her desires and intimacies with her therapist though we are unsure how much of it was real or imagined. While some of the reading is entertaining funny and insightful more often it is manic often very racy and straight talking but also tinged with sadness melancholy a lack of fulfillment and emotionally disturbing. She has some very major issues as to why she seems to desire 'negro' men her inability to have sex with Jewish men her father was Jewish and her parents who went from 'torturing' her by kissing each other in front of her yet them denying her any affection - her father would tell he she was his 3rd cousin and to stop calling him Daddy. At one point she writes that she watched a little girl sit on her own father's lap and being affectionate which causes Nina to begin a crying jag. Researchers and historians of psychosexual problems would be hard pressed to find a more intimate and revealing personal account. There are approximately 135 all told many pages being written or typed on both sides some age toning and or yellowing etc. and overall the archive is G.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GENDER STUDIES WOMEN'S STUDIES SOCIAL HISTORY SOCIAL STUDIES NYMPHO NINA MILLER CHUCK MILLER PSYCHOTHERAPY DREAM DIARY DREAM THERAPY THERAPISTS FIRE ISLAND PSYCHO SEXUALITY NYMPHOMANIA PSYCHIATRISTS SLEEPING WITH PATIENTS NYMPHOMANIAC SEXUAL REVOLUTION SEXUAL ADDICTION SEX ADDICTS MANIA SEX MANIAC CHILDHOOD AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES MENTAL ILLNESS DRUGS EXPERIMENT WITH MARIJUANA PORN PORNOGRAPHY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . unknown
