Letters: Letters to a North Dakota Land Financier from Farm Owners in the late 1800s

1899423702Port Chester New York / North Dakota 1899. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 21 letters from 1890 through 1899 pertaining to pioneer land debt in North Dakota. Near fine with small tears and some age toning most in envelopes. A collection of letters to Richard Carpenter of Port Chester New York. Carpenter was financing land purchases for new settlers in Lisbon Wisner and La Moure in North Dakota. He would receive a share of the crop until the land was paid off. However most farmers who bought the land were unable to afford paying the money back as the soil was much denser and the weather much colder than many of the southern farming communities. One letter is written on the back of a full page lithographic broadside map of Wisner and pleads with Carpenter to take $200 away from the mortgage that still needs to be paid on the land. Most of the letters are complaints about payments and raising crops "The crop failure and low price for 93 gives this country a bad black eye and paralyzes all lines of trade and the earliest remedy is a bountiful 94" and "I have seen the men from Dakota and the account they give of the country is very discouraging everyone wants to sell and no one wants to buy". Many of the letters are written from J. E. Wisner who arrived in 1880. Wisner had built a flour mill laid out a town site promoted a stillborn railroad and invented a farm implement that made him a wealthy man for his time. His letters are more often strictly letters of payment being sent to Carpenter. The letters offer financial data from farm and land owners during this time as well as insight into the lives of farmers trying to work in unfit conditions before the 20th century. An interesting collection of letters from concerned farmers to a land owner in New York 1890 through to 1899. unknown

Carpenter Work in Philadelphia: Martin John and WH. W. H.ABAA

ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNT BOOK FOR PHILADELPHIA CARPENTERS JOHN AND W.H. MARTIN RECORDING DAILY WORK SUPPLIES AND EARNINGS 1835 - 1866

1866WRCAM52261Philadelphia 1866. 15316pp. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards. Binding worn and rubbed. Very good. An interesting carpenter's account book from 19th-century Philadelphia containing a voluminous amount of entries listing client names types of carpentry work done and the costs thereof. Internal evidence his name on pages 52 and 114 suggests that this belonged to Philadelphia carpenters John and W.H. Martin. The accounts start on July 22 1835 exactly one month after the 1835 Philadelphia general strike ended. Workers' rights and formative unions owe much to this strike in Philadelphia the first general strike by wage workers in North America. The strike helped alleviate long hours and low pay by involving some 20000 workers who demanded a ten-hour work day and increased wages. The strike was very successful ending in an almost complete victory for the workers. About half of the ledger deals with work done in the first five years in which it was kept 1835-1840. There are no entries from June 1847 to June 1849 and only sporadic entries from 1857 to the final entries in 1866; most of the rest of the accounts are from 1840 to 1855 except the two-year hiatus. The account book lists a wide assortment of different types of work accomplished by carpenters including framing putting up awnings "repairing a privey seat" hanging doors and windows putting up lightning rods making shutters mending floors and much more. In addition Martin seemed to occasionally make furniture specifically benches and tables for which there are some entries here. It also contains important information on the prices paid by tradesmen for supplies in Philadelphia at the time mostly lumber and nails in this case. Although there is no explicit ownership signature both internal evidence and other material purchased from the same estate suggest John Martin as the principal craftsperson and W.H. Martin as an employee or other principal of the business. The ledger offers much insight into American trade in one of its most important cities at a time of immense growth. A fascinating account book with much detail on the development of Philadelphia private homes in the middle of the 19th century. hardcover books

SCHELCHER, Xavier Eugene, & Georges Charpentier (illus)Biblio.com

Croisière du Steam-Yacht Medjé en Angleterre Ecosse et Irlande Juillet-Août 1892 - original manuscript account with finely engraved illustrations.

1893134814Paris: c.1893. A finely executed illustrated manuscript documenting a pleasure cruise around Britain on the steam-yacht Medjé in the summer of 1892. The voyage won the Union des yachts français medal for the most interesting cruise of 1891-93 a sharp silver print of which with the presentation letter from the comte de Montaigu is mounted at the front. Portions of the narrative appeared in Le Yacht in 1894. The account offers a lively Belle Époque tour of the British Isles - effectively a circumnavigation shortened by the Caledonian Canal - with etched illustrations after pen-and-ink drawings by the Rochellois maritime artist Georges Charpentier 1846-1925. The yacht belonged to Xavier Eugène Schelcher 1867-1948 a wealthy Parisian stockbroker and new member of the Union des yachts français. Departing Le Havre in July 1892 the Medjé ran down the English coast to Plymouth passing through the Royal Naval Manoeuvres and prompting newspaper speculation that she carried French naval observers. Welcomed in Plymouth with a tour of the naval installations and an abundant lunch the party continued west shooting seabirds and bathing off Penzance before crossing to Ireland. At Kingstown and Dublin they visited the Royal Irish Yacht Club and commented - sometimes archly - on the city's poverty accompanied by Charpentier's vivid sketches. Excursions into Wicklow and a crossing to Holyhead allowed visits to Liverpool and Birkenhead where the builders of the Medjé's engines Cochran & Co. were proudly noted. Further stops included the Isle of Man Belfast Robinson & Cleaver's celebrated linen shop and the Giant's Causeway. They then headed for Glasgow detouring to Iona and Staffa and entered the Caledonian Canal Charpentier illustrating Neptune's Staircase and other scenes. Scotland's landscapes and Edinburgh's beauty impressed them deeply; excursions to the Trossachs prompted reflections on Walter Scott's romances. The rapid return down the east coast - Berwick Newcastle Scarborough Harwich Ramsgate - elicited little enthusiasm Newcastle offering "only a dungeon". Relief greeted the sight of Cape Gris-Nez and home. The Medjé was a 25-metre 43-ton twin-screw steam yacht built in 1889 at the Maudslay Son & Field yard powered by Cochran & Co. engines delivering 96 h.p. Schelcher was an active yachtsman winning two gold medals at the 1900 Paris Olympics; his son Rémi later competed at the 1936 Berlin Games. Schelcher is also known to have commissioned a comparable illustrated album of his 1897 cruise to the Norwegian fjords. Overall this is an attractively produced richly illustrated and often satirical record of British touring at the height of luxury yachting. Quarto 318 x 247 mm. 57 leaves of neat manuscript text titles and headings in a calligraphic Ronde hand occasional rubrication; 52 superb etched plates after pen and ink drawings by Charpentier the first additionally signed "A. Barret Sc." deck plan and full-page track-chart map; text and plates are both printed on fine polished vélin the plates on a slightly lighter weight. Contemporary strong orange half morocco by Victor Champs French curl on Turkish pattern marbled boards title gilt to the spine neatly nipped bands dotted roll gilt fouled anchor devices to the compartments double gilt ruled frame with olive sprig cornerpieces author's initials to the tail of the spine top edge gilt the others uncut marbled endpapers to match the boards silk page-marker.

Contemporary full sheep expertly rebacked spines in six gilt-ruled compartments with red morocco lettering-pieces in second compartments and volume numbers in fourth First edition of all three volumes of "the rarest and best account of the trial" Eberstadt which made US legal history in its interpretations of treason and executive sovereignty. This elusive set almost always found without the third volume is Burr's own report and is crucial to understanding early democracy in America. Of especial relevance today as other high-profile American politicans face their own accusations of treason. "The most exciting trial held in this country during the first half of the nineteenth century." Graff Aaron Burr Jr. was an American politician businessman lawyer co-founder of the Bank of New York and Founding Father who served as Vice President during Jefferson's first term and more recently served as the foil in Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton. How Burr came to be arrested in Alabama in 1807 is bizarre and byzantine but in brief: Burr was rejected by his own party the Democratic-Republicans for opposing Jefferson in the 1800 presidential election runoff in the House and then was shunned by the Federalists for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Burr went West to seek better fortunes which included a rogue military adventure to seize lands belonging to Spain in Louisiana and Mexico with incentive given to the Western states to join his adventure. However Burr's longtime friend General James Wilkinson decided to abandon this dubious plan and inform the Feds instead. President Jefferson did not look kindly on his former Vice President's conspiracy to entice the Western states to leave the Union and join with him as he colonized new lands with the support of England. Jefferson alerted Congress and ordered Burr's arrest. Firm in his belief that Burr was a traitor Jefferson had him charged as such. Luckily for Burr Chief Justice John Marshall was Jefferson's longtime political foe and would preside at Burr's trial because he was also the federal judge for the US Circuit Court in Virginia. Burr was acquitted and fled for Europe. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14091 14092. Eberstadt 134-68. Graff 506. Howes B1013. Sabin 9433. Tompkins Burr 18. Westcott & Co unknown
