18900011056Aurora Indiana. Fair with no dust jacket. 1890s. Hardcover. On offer is an interesting and genuinely adorable autograph book dating from the 1890s in Indiana United States. The diary was a gift to a young girl named Jennie Boldrey from Santa in 1892. From context we can determine that she lived in Indiana likely in or near the community of Aurora just west of Cincinnati Ohio. Although the book was given to her in 1892 it appears to have been used not by Jennie but by young Anna Annie Boldrey in the later 1890s. Our informal research has not been able to identify any additional biographical information on the two girls. The album's pages are full of loving messages and best wishes for Annie from family and friends. Some pages are adorned with stickers or pictures cut out and pasted to the page such as flowers or birds. Some examples of the handwritten messages Annie collected in her special album: My Dear Daughter Annie May your road be long and and the end be far out of sight face it bravely strong and mery. Trust in God and do the right. Your mother Abbie Boldrey Aurora Ind April 1st 1897. Dear Cousin Annie When far off in distant land/You see the writing of my hand/My face you cannot see/Remember it was May who wrote these lines for thee Your Cousin May Rollenberger June 15 1901. When the golden sun is setting and your mind from care is free/When of absent friends your thinking will you think of me Your Uncle John W. Boldrey Summan Ind Apr 25 1897. This autograph book while simple helps us to reflect on the timelessness of the child's passion for collecting children's need to feel loved and validated and the familial love that knows not the bounds of time. For a genealogist this is an excellent resource for tracing family relationships in Indiana at the end of the 19th century. This slim album measures 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and contains 42 pages. It is 100% complete. The cover is in fair condition. It shows many wear marks and the exterior of the spine is torn in places. The binding has broken and many of the pages are loose. The pages are in fair condition with wear marks around each edge. The handwriting is legible. ; Autograph; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 42 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover
1893541904Japan 1893. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Quarto sheet. Measuring 8¼" x 10½". Holograph letter with two Japanese stamps hanko. Neat old folds from mailing near fine. An 1893 letter from The Nippon Yoshisa Imin Kaisha Emigration Company to John Middleton & Company of Yokohama responding to a proposal to have Japanese workers emigrate to San Paulo Brazil to fill jobs in the agricultural sector. The deal "provided the sanction of the Japanese Govt. can be obtained" agrees to a five year term of service at a monthly wage of 33 with "all other terms the same as the Japanese Emmigrants in Queensland Australia." A third entity Carlisle & Co. a London-based shipping company is referenced as proposing the offer and terms to The Nippon Yoshisa Imin Kaisha on behalf of Middleton.<br /> <br /> According to The New York Times obituary of owner John Middleton he was a businessman originally from Mystic Connecticut who served as a tea broker in New York City starting in 1855. In 1860 he left for China working for various firms until 1871 when he established Middleton & Company with headquarters in Yokahama and a branch in New York City. He died in April 1893 eight months before this letter.<br /> <br /> Following the end of feudalism in Japan the rural parts of the country fell into poverty forcing workers to look for work outside the country. Unfortunately various exclusion policies by majority white nations such as America and Australia prevented the Japanese from entering the country. Brazil was one destination open to them. A treaty between the two countries in 1907 opened the doors for large movement of Japanese emigrants leading to a Brazil population today consisting of nearly 2 million residents of Japanese decent the largest population outside of Japan. This early document shows an early attempt to lease some workers to Brazil which at the time was suffering from a massive labor shortage. A similar effort appears to have been achieved by Middleton & Co. in Queensland Australia as reference at the end of the document.<br /> <br /> An interesting document of early Japanese emigrants to Brazil worthy additional research. hardcover

18930010235France. Fair with no dust jacket. 1893. Ephemera. On offer is a note written by one of Frances great writers Joseph de Pesquidoux Count of Pesquidoux in 1893 nicknamed the Gascon Virgil.

0012267Bartlett Carroll New Hampshire Usa. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a neat piece of New Hampshire history being the first minute book of Bartlett New Hampshires newly formed Order of the Kings Daughters and Sons Chapter. The book opens to handwritten details of what appear to be four affiliated chapters of the Order but the remainder of the minute book makes it clear that only Chapter No. 1 became operational. The date of organization for Chapter No. 1 whose circle name is the Union Helpers is Dec 10 1894. The Union Helpers inaugural leader is A. L. Russell Vice leaders is Mrs. Frank Burbank Jane A. Burbank b. 1857 Secretary is Mrs. Lydia Freeman Treasurer is Reverend A. M. Freeman and their line of work is set to be furnishing the church. Following the information on the chapters begins the Secretarys report of the first Union Helpers meeting written by Lydia Freeman who was elected at the meeting. This entry is undated but it was likely Dec 10 1894. Following that are minutes of the Union Helpers meetings which begin in January of 1895 and continue intermittently through 1900. While the chapter meets almost weekly with the exception of summer in 1895 the meetings taper off significantly in 1896 and beyond. It is clear by the 1900 minutes that the group is having a difficult time keeping up interest and membership. In total there are 33 numbered pages of minutes ending with the final recorded meeting on March 15 1900 signed by the treasurer at the time Rebecca Allan. Beginning on page 44 of the book is the Treasurers Report which is a ledger of money spent and received and provides even more insight into the activities of the Kings Daughters and the people involved. Again this ledger was kept consistently in the first year and then intermittently. One entry from the minute book is transcribed here: Circle met with Mrs. Allen. Leader being present read a Chapter from the Bible and Prayer was offered by Mr. Allen. Members present were Mrs. Russell Mrs. Adelaide Mead Mrs. Merry Mrs. Allen Mrs Burbank and one associate member Mrs. Martha Mead. Three new members were accepted and given the obligation by the Leader. They were Mr. Archibald Allen Mrs. Abbie Hall Mrs. Sarah Mead. Work was worsted and print patchwork and fancy work. Circle was invited to meet on the following Thursday with Mrs. John Eastman - Mrs. F. E. Burbank Secretary April 11 1895. This minute book is a treasure trove of genealogical information for the Bartlett New Hampshire region as well as an intimate look into the charitable work women took on in the 19th century. The organization is technically called the Order of the Kings Daughters and Sons and therefore the men are often named and involved as they attend meetings and contribute funds. This helps draw conclusions about relationships within Bartlett at the time. Note: There are dozens of Bartlett names contained within the minute book. Some of these include Frank E Burbank b. Sept 1853 Jane A Burbank b. March 1857 Adelaide Gray Mead 1840-1929 Rebecca J Allan b. 1847 Archibald Allan Arvesta S.

18990012049Donsol Pilar Manila Philippines New York Malta. Poor with no dust jacket. 1899-1901. Other. On offer is an unbelievable handwritten account of 19 months of action on the frontlines of the Philippine Insurrection the Philippine-American War between November 1899 and June 1901. An unknown American soldier writes of his experiences in a level of detail that cannot be overstated. This diary places the reader in the Philippines with shocking realism making this diary exceedingly rare. The 139 pages of this journalled account of events have been removed from a larger document and someone has pinned these loose pages together. This writing begins at the end of a sentence penned on presumably November 17 1899 and concludes half way through a sentence written on June 23 1901. There seem to be very few missing pages from within the journal and it reads very smoothly. The content is outstanding. The diary opens with our soldier diarist sailing from New York to the Philippines via the British Naval base at Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. He describes his experiences sailing sharing about a stop ashore in Malta a Thanksgiving spent at sea a concert enjoyed aboard the gunboat Nashville on the way to Manila and more. He arrives with his regiment in Manila on Dec 22 1899. The troops explore Manila and meet Filipino locals. In early January of 1900 they receive orders to head to southern Luzuon on the Kobbe Expedition which refers to General William Kobbes Expedition to Bicolandia. This expedition was in response to an urgent order from Washington to open up hemp ports of Southern Luzon due to an American hemp shortage. The problem was the port towns were largely controlled by Filipino Insurgents. Our diarist provides absolutely remarkable detail about Americas role in defeating the Insurgents and the tragedy of the Filipino peoples experience. Context indicates that our diarist was possibly a member of the 43rd Volunteer Infantry Regiments USV Company A. An excerpt that provides a sense of how our soldier explains the circumstances in the Philippines follows: Jan 16th we got the order to pack up and get ready to leave Mikata and to proceed to the Southern part of Luzon we were put aboard the transport Hancock which was at anchor in the Bay of Manila All combined we were named the Kobbe Expedition to the Southern Luzon to open up the Hemp ports and protect the natives from the Insurgents down there On the 21st of Jan 1900 our boats dropped anchor in a bay named the bay of Sorsogon in the Province of Albay All over this province there are large gangs of Insurgents holding the towns so at many towns our boys had a hard fight with the Insurgents before they could take the towns and the gun boat had to shell many of the towns. Our Regt. Occupied nine towns. Our detachment of A and D. Co. Were taken to a town named Donsol the gunboat Helena took us ashore from the Hancock On their arrival ashore they were met by a crowd of Philippinos. They had an order from the officers of the Insurgents it read saying that they would not haul down their colors nor surrender for three days. So our Major returned to the gunboat and a short conversation was held with the officers of the gun-boat and it was decided to prepare the gun boat for action and land all of us. If the Insurgents fired one shot at us the gun-boat would shell the town The hills were full of fleeing people. A detail of men were sent out on the hills at once then the Insurgents fired their first shot at us. Our boys had a warm fight for 15 minutes. They found the hills well entrenched and also found one big cannon. Lots of spears Bolas and wooden guns. They returned to town bringing in a few prisoners. A scouting party was seent and they saw a lot of Philippinos fleeing to the mountains. This town had a population of 10000 and three hundred were Insurrectors. The next thing we done was to find ourselves some good houses to live in. Outposts were put out all around the town. A few natives came across our post for a few nights and on the 22th Jan the Insurgents paid our town a visit setting fire to one of the big houses where our men were sleeping. Our men got out of the house without anyone being hurt. We surrounded the town fired a few volleys . Later in January our soldiers regiment goes on the first of many missions all of which he describes in glaring detail. On this mission the troops attempt to leave Donsol for Pilar when they run into trouble as the connecting bridge was destroyed by Insurgents. They make it to Pilar and find the town has been deserted. As they march back to Donsol they find someone has lit the bridge ablaze: Jan 28th We had a very hard time crossing the bridge burning our shoes and legs but we got safely on the Donsol side before the bridge fell with a crash into the river. We marched on we heard several shots from the Mauser and Remington rifles. Next we discovered a big fire and a call to arms and fire call was sounded The fire of the Insurgents got heavier. Our Major gave an order not to fire. He was going out in the front of our lines. He went out with a detail of men and discovered that our town was surrounded and the hills were full of Insurgents. He fired a few volleys then he came into town. The Insurgents answered him by firing a cannon. Then the Insurgents gave a yell and started to advance and we kept quiet and let them get close to our lines. Then we got the order to commence firing and the boys opened up all around the town and we soon put the Insurgents to flight firing a few shots as they ran. Next morning we discovered a few dead Insurgents close to our lines. The Insurgents almost always carry their dead and wounded along with them in their flight Our soldier does an absolutely phenomenal job of describing not only the day-to-day in Donsol where he spends majority of his time but also the various missions in which he participates. His words paint a fulsome picture of the war: 21st Feb at noon our Major asked for a detachment of men to volunteer to go up the river on a scouting expedition. I along with 12 more men went out of our company and 12 out of D. Co. Along with Capt. Hart of D. Co. And our Major left Donsol in a hard paddle boat and one white boat in tow On our way up the river we could see high hills on each side and the river was very narrow. There were many Insurgents outposts in the high trees all the way up and we fired at every one we saw. We went up a distance of 8 miles before we thought of coming home as it was getting late We had traveled one mile on our homeward way when the Insurgents fired on us from the left hand ashore. Our men in the rear boat fired a volley into the two Insurgents and were taking good aim for a second volley when the hills fairly echoed with the yells from the Insurgents. They then opened up on the right hand side which was aimed at the white boat hitting one of our men our company in the head and he was killed instantly. Then we answered their shots from each of our boats and from that time until we got back to Donsol we were under the hot fire of the Insurgents we could see the hills full of Insurgents and we had plenty to shoot at. We made every shot count. The insurgents even fired rocks at us from the high hills . More texture is added when our soldier discusses aspects of the war that dont involve active fire. Some examples follow: March 5th Gen Kobbe of the 8th Army Cor was here on a visit and he said these two companies were a very industrious lot of men and that the building of the stocade and trenches was a very sensible work he also brought us 17 of the Battery G 3rd Artillery men and one Hotch Kiss gun for reinforcements. April 10th the mail boat was here bringing the report of Gen. Pawa likely Jose Ignacio Paua an Insurgent Gen in Command of the Insurgent troops through this province. He surrender to our Colonel in Legaspi Legazpi and was sent to the Military Prison in Manila. April 21st We took a long march across the hills in a round about manner to a town named Sevilla merely an Insurgent camp. The town was deserted on our arrival. Fires were still burning in the houses. Everything was just as they had dropped it in their flight. We passed through the town and discovered many traps laid in the roads for us. One trap was an arrow trap on each side of the path in the bushes and by pulling a strong the arrows would stick into anyone going down the path. None of their traps caught us. Our soldier writes frequently about expeditions for which he volunteers. He describes a mission to Banningaran sic. En route the men captured Captain Hernandiz sic; possibly Adriano Hernández y Dayot and his family before being caught unprepared by the Insurgents who severely injured one of the American sargeants. On their hike back to Donsol they are again attacked by the Insurgents this time caught off guard as they attacked from the rear. And so it goes for many more months. Our author describes the movements of the men with whom he is stationed his commanding officers and the various wins and setbacks of both the Americans and the Insurgents. In May of 1901 our soldier and his regiment begin the process of boarding a ship to return to America. There is of course never a straightforward path and there are many bumps in the road. However our soldier does eventually board a ship and begins again to describe his journey in detail. The diary cuts off abruptly mid-sentence on June 23 1901 as our soldier is describing being at sea with nothing but a sailboat in sight for miles. While we do not know our soldiers identity we do know he was safely heading home at the conclusion of his diary. We know he was a highly motivated volunteer soldier who displayed total buy-in to the mission of the Americans in the Philippines and we know he was a gifted writer penning his experiences with such texture and realism that the reader feels as though they too have been on the front lines of a bloody wet miserable war in the Philippines - fighting for America and for the displaced Philippino people forced to flee from the Insurgents to the mountains. This journal measures 8x5 inches and contains 139 single-sided sheets. The pages were all loose so the author has pinned them together with a single round-headed fastener post. There are no covers to this journal. As a result the first and last few pages show obvious and significant wear and tear including a large corner of the first page being completely ripped off obstructing the text.

19060008210AMHERST MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1906. On offer is an outstanding collection of minute books records and ledger of a significant Women's Club that has been in continuous operation for well over 100 years. In 1900 Minnie Dana founded a club for women with a mission "To promote interest of the members in Literature Science Art and other timely topics of vital importance; to further social relations among its members; and to contribute to the welfare of the community" Thus began the Thursday Club a club that operates to this day well over a century later. The meetings focused on an eclectic range of subjects and members were expected to speak on a wide variety of topics. These topics included biographies the suffrage movement the effects of industrialization a trip to Hawaii Shakespeare History taking care of the feeble minded etc. It is clearly evident that these were well-educated women who were engaged in the world around them. Each journal follows a consistent format with the exception of the last one - it is a Treasurer's Report and ledger book. The first journal covers a time period of 1906 to 1913. It contains a copy of their constitution and most importantly a listing of members. Each meeting followed a standard format: minutes of the previous meeting were read new business discussed and then the program for the afternoon. The report of the Dec 6th 1906 meeting included the topics addressed: 'Topics for the first part were "The Young Nation from 1787 -1815" and "Statesmen of the 18th Century" led by Mrs. Pomeroy who read a paper on the trials discouragements and victories of this. Mrs. Herbert Dickinson gave a sketch of the period life of Alexander Hamilton the youngest statesman of that period and Mrs. Pomeroy a short sketch of Benjamin Franklin the oldest statesman. The 2nd part of the program American Inventors and Inventions was in the charge of Miss Armstrong. Dec 6 1906 This was standard fare for these ladies as the following excerpts will show: Mrs. Gleason and Mrs. Hammond had charge of the program for the afternoon the subject being Later-day Crusades and Crusaders. Mrs. Gleason taking the life and works of Jacob Riis and Judge Ben B. Lindsey and Mrs. Hammond Booker T. Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. . Jan 16 1908 The program in charge of Mrs. Wales consisted of the reading of the first three acts of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar". The readers of the play were as follows . a number of ladies' names are then listed Nov 18 1909 The program for the afternoon Famous Canadians of the Twentieth Century in charge of Mrs Mary Pomeroy and Mrs. Albert Wales was then taken up. Mrs. Pomeroy . read an interesting paper on Sir Wilfred Laurier Gov Gen'l Connaught Dr. William Miss Kathleen Parlow musician of note. . Jan 4 1912 The second journal continues the record of meetings held in 1906 picking up in December of that year. The Mar 7th 1907 meeting tackled head on the uncomfortable topic of slavery. The notes record the discussion: . For 1/4 of a century before the War there was a controversy between North and South over the extension of slavery. The South feared the North would soon have large representation in Congress and abolish slavery . Mar 7 1907 The third journal covers 1915 and 1916 The program for the afternoon "Needle and Tongue" in charge of Mrs. Davie was then taken up. Mrs. Howlett played two selections on the Victrola. Mrs. Davie then introduced Miss. Ruth Henry of Amherst as speaker for the afternoon. While the ladies were engaged in various kinds of needlework they listened to a very interesting talk by Miss Henry on her life in Hawaii. . Dec 2 1915 The fourth journal also records meetings in 1915 and 1916 while the fifth journal covers a 6 year period from 1922 until 1928. The latter contains minutes of a number of annual meetings. These meeting offer many details about various members their roles and contributions and their finances. Club membership numbers indicate a healthy and thriving organization: About 100 Club members and three guests gathered in the Vestry of the Church for the Annual Guest Night of the Thursday Club Jan 11th. . p 129 The Treasurers Ledger Book is a detailed record of revenues received mostly raised from dues and a Penny Collection taken each meeting and expenses incurred in operating the Club. The expense listing shows that these women were well aware of issues and events far beyond their walls and include donations to the Red Cross China relief Boys Services and the Western Massachusetts Women's Club. This is an outstanding collection. Although they follow a standardized format the warm personalities of these women still shines through. Along with their weighty discussions there are references to needlework during presentations penny collections etc. They clearly illustrate the depth and breadth of thinking and interests of these women over a period of 100 years. These would be a valuable addition to any Women's Studies program. The continual listing of members by full name makes these very valuable for genealogists.
