180533731Fairfield County 1805. Broadsheet 12-1/2" x 15-1/2". Printed document completed in ink manuscript. Old folds with some repaired splits and one 6" unrepaired split. Some small chips along a few splits with minimal loss. Light tanning scattered spotting. Good. <br /> <br /> The original grant for this land was to Nehemiah Phippeny who lost title for nonpayment of taxes. The land was sold to Lothrop Lewis of Fairfield Connecticut on May 27 1805. On the verso are hand written transfers of the same piece of property: from Lothrop Lewis to William Hawley of Woodbury January 21 1806; from Hawley to Nehemiah Dibble of Stamford February 7 1806; from Dibble to Zalmon & Seymour Wildman of Danbury October 20 1806. There is also a voided transaction crossed out from Hawley to William Lamson of Waterbury January 31 1806. <br /> In 1800 the State of Connecticut granted to her citizens who were sufferers by fire caused by the British during the Revolutionary War a half million acres of land lying within the State of Ohio which was to be taken off the west part of the "Western Connecticut Reserve" now embraced in the counties of Huron and Erie. By an 1803 Act of Ohio the sufferers were incorporated as "The proprietors of the half million acres of land lying south of Lake Erie called 'Sufferers' Land'." The Act required management of the Company by a Board of Directors. The Board was to locate and survey the granted land and to partition it among the different claimants. This part of the Western Reserve was inhabited by Indians who engaged in warfare with the settlers. On July 4 1805 a treaty between the United States and the Wyandot Ottawa Chippewa Munsee and Delaware Shawanee and Pattawatamy nations was signed whereby those Indian nations in consideration of $18916.68 released their claims to all the lands owned by the company. unknown

Oblong folio. Contemporary textured black cloth gilt title on front cover string tied. Moderate rubbing to covers bottom edge worn corners creased. Internally clean photographs in very nice shape. A well-annotated vernacular photograph album chronicling about two decades of the travels and experiences of Ray Royse and his family as they trekked from Illinois to California through the Upper West in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Royse family started in Aledo Illinois and numerous photographs feature various family members here. They then traveled through Casper Wyoming Great Falls and Butte Montana and other locations before settling in Long Beach where Ray and his brother-in-law worked at the shipyards. The images here document Ray's training at the Sweeney Automobile & Tractor School in Kansas City driving Harley-Davidson motorcycles attempting to repair a nearly destroyed family sedan visiting the Custer Battlefield and the monument to Buffalo Bill Cody among other western sites scenes in Yellowstone Park and a family drive up Pike's Peak among many others. Ray's efforts to move West reflect the expansion and increasingly wide availability of automobiles and the growing industry in the West following the First World War.<br /> <br /> The photographs here record numerous locations in the American West to which Ray Royse along with his family and friends traveled or worked in in a 1922 Nash and later a Ford Model T. They traveled across the Continental Divide Ray worked for a time at the Anaconda Mines near Great Falls and Butte Montana and later the Standard Oil Refinery at Shelby Montana.

Another picture shows another Ford weighed down with a huge sack of wool in Bear Creek Wyoming. There are also images emanating from Dublin Gulch near Butte; Livingston Montana; Wind River Canyon in Thermopolis Wyoming; Salt Creek Wyoming; ; and several park scenes in Kansas City. A handful of images feature the Warren family in Butte. Several photographs memorialize the Royse family trip to Yellowstone Park in 1923 with many of the geysers and surrounding landscapes the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone and more. There are also interesting photos from a Royse family drive to the top of Pike's Peak with views from the peak with additional shots from the Garden of the Gods cliff dwellings near Colorado Springs scenes in New Mexico and Arizona in 1929 dams near Great Falls the Beaver Dam in Wyoming a picture of the "Million Dollar Fire" in Casper in 1921 and a beached fifty-five-foot whale in Long Beach dated December 28 1929.

He also worked as a coal miner in Wyoming and on the Douglas Sheep Ranch in Wyoming both of which are chronicled in photographs in the present album. He met and married Sylvia Lambert in 1934 in South Dakota before returning to California.<br /> <br /> A wide-ranging and eclectic mixture of original and unique photographs of the West documenting an interesting family who began in Illinois and eventually settled in California. unknown
19254849Various locations in the American Southwest West Coast and Pacific Northwest 1925.

Red Special Delegation to San Francisco Convention" who were "Guests of K.C.P and L Co" presumably the Kansas City Power & Light Company. The second and much larger panoramic photograph is comprised of fifteen 5-x-8-inch photographs picturing the travelers posed outside the numerous Pullman cars that comprise the Red Special. The preponderance of the photographs are organized by location generally five or six photographs per page with a single printed caption per page mostly indicating the location. The body of photographs begins with facing pages of images featuring the travelers and some scenery in Colorado Springs and Garden of the Gods in Colorado. A sampling of subsequent groups of photographs feature the travelers at Pike's Peak Albuquerque the Grand Canyon San Bernardino Redlands Los Angeles Santa Barbara Del Monte Yosemite Valley Glacier Point Mariposa Grove San Francisco Shasta the Columbia River Victoria Vancouver Canadian Rockies Lake Louise Lake Agnes Moraine Lake Johnson's Canyon Banff and other locations.
