Some small chips along a few splits with minimal loss. Light tanning scattered spotting. Good. 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. 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 books

The parties of this deed are likely related to Gen. Simon Perkins also from New London County Connecticut. He was a surveyor of the Connecticut Western Reserve the first postmaster of the Reserve a founder of the Western Reserve Bank of Warren a Brigadier General in the War of 1812 defending northwestern Ohio and one of the largest land owners in the state of Ohio.

Some slight fading to several photos. A group of twenty stereocards depicting the Corn Palace of 1888 taken by James H. Hamilton the official photographer for the Corn Palace festival that year. The Corn Palace at Sioux City was the world's first founded in conjunction with a citywide harvest festival in the fall of 1887. The festival and the palace were such a success drawing nearly 140000 visitors to Sioux City that the founders decided to repeat their efforts for a further four years. Each year the Corn Palace was rebuilt from scratch the framed timber structure coated with grain from top to bottom. The Corn Palace of 1888 drew approximately 350000 people and advertised "toilet rooms and conveniences for ladies and gentlemen". James H. Hamilton worked as a photographer in Sioux City from the mid-1860s through the 1890s.

COLLECTION OF SEVENTY-NINE FINE PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS DOCUMENTING A WESTERN AMERICAN RAILROAD "TRAVELING PARTY" THROUGH OREGON CALIFORNIA AND COLORADO IN THE LATE-19th CENTURY

1897WRCAM56506Various locations in Oregon California and Colorado 1897. Seventy-nine printing out paper photographic prints each image 6 x 8 inches on 9 1/2 x 11 1/4 inch medium weight sheets all but two captioned in the negative. Minor surface wear to a handful of prints several with minor emulsion chipping to edges some curling to prints. Overall very good or better condition. An extraordinary collection of large handsomely-produced photographic prints documenting the exploits of a group of travelers who set out by train through Oregon California and Colorado in 1897. The photographs which are skillfully composed and indicative of an experienced photographer picture a wide variety of both urban and rural settings along the Pacific Coast and in Colorado showing a mixture of horse-drawn and cable and street cars but nary an automobile and constitute a unique and evocative time capsule for numerous locations in the American West in the final few years of the 19th century. The first image features a large group of women and children posed outside a railroad car with the image captioned "The R&W 97 Transcontinental Party." In fact two of the images reference the party as "R&W" which likely refers to the company or family who participated in the railway excursion. The travelers were apparently well-to-do by their dress and by the variety of notable high-end hotels they visited. The selection of photographs here was likely hand-picked by one of the members of the excursion after the journey was completed. The preponderance of the images document locations in California. These include two different views of Mount Shasta scenes in Yosemite Park sites in Santa Cruz and several images each in and around San Francisco Santa Cruz and Los Angeles. The Yosemite Park pictures show members of the group taking a horse-drawn carriage through a redwood tree and other Yosemite landmarks are captioned "Yosemite from Inspiration Point" "Bridal Veil Falls" "Two Brothers of the Yosemite" "Trail to Glacier Pt." "A fallen Monarch of the Yosemite" the famous downed redwood tree and "Wawona Point." The San Francisco images include Stanford University two images a view of Stanford's Tomb in Menlo Park the driveway to the Crocker residence a striking image of downtown focused on the Spreckels Building the San Francisco City Hall building the "Courtyard of the Palace Hotel" Golden Gate Park a spectacular view across the ocean from Golden Gate Park the entrance to Sutro Park and the esplanade in Sutro Park. Images in Santa Cruz depict the residence of Major Frank McLaughlin known as the Golden Gate Villa an elevated view of the beach at Santa Cruz a scene of several travelers in a horse-drawn carriage captioned "Our four in hand on the cliff drive Santa Cruz Cal." and three striking views of the cliffs including two featuring the "Natural Bridge" Cliff at Santa Cruz. The Los Angeles area is well represented in the photographs which picture the downtown courthouse a downtown street scene showing the Van Nuys Hotel the year it opened a view down Spring Street West Lake Park East Side Park four images including the entrance an orange grove in Riverside picturing one of the travelers Magnolia Avenue in Riverside an "Orange grower's home" in Riverside a pair of horses pulling a streetcar labeled "Riverside & Arlington Ry." before the line was electrified in 1899 and an interesting street scene in downtown Riverside. Other sites in California comprise the Hotel Coronado four pictures including an unusual view of the "Drive to the Entrance" of the hotel Coronado Beach two views the "Ruins of Capistrano" the remnants of the mission church the train depot at Fresno a residence in San Jose the "View from Mt. Hamilton" near San Jose and the road to the hedge maze at the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey. The Colorado pictures include a breathtaking elevated view of a snowy Denver taken from the top of the capitol building. Other Colorado scenes include a view of New Castle from the train Glenwood Springs an image of horse-drawn carriages crossing a bridge over the river in Glenwood Springs and two images capturing the incline tram up the Royal Gorge near Canon City. The collection also includes a handful of images in Portland Oregon. These feature the Portland wharf three separate shots of the Portland Hotel the "Residence of Dr. McKenzie" and a horse- drawn carriage ride on City Park Drive. Eight of the more intriguing images in the collection were taken while aboard the traveling party's moving railroad car and picture the vast landscape of the American West in California Colorado and Nevada. The captions for these read "From Top of Mountain near Scisco" "We pass through Eagle CaÃƒÂ±on" "Leaving Leadvill sic behind us" "Some Colorado Scenery" "On the Rio Grande Western" and "Princeton Harvard & Yale" a distant view of the three mountains named for those Ivy League schools in the "Collegiate Peaks" region of the Rocky Mountains. One image likely in Colorado but with location unidentified is captioned "Mountains rising thousands of feet all around." There are even a couple of images taken from the train while passing briefly through Nevada including one of the "Humboldt Desert." In addition to the aforementioned image picturing the women and children of the "R&W 97 Transcontinental Party" there are a handful of images focused on other various members. One is captioned "The R&W 97 Philharmonic Symposium" and features six men standing on a railroad handcar with musical instruments. The words and music to "Sweet Rosy O'Grady" have been written into the photographic negative at center along with a humorous musical quatrain at right referencing one of the traveling party. This latter bit reads "The Director General Russ Couldn't play with us with us He was not allowed to toot So he kept time with His Boot." Additional pictures of the group feature them dining inside an unnamed restaurant posed in front of a giant redwood near Santa Cruz and sitting on chairs in a semi-circle in Sutro Park. The latter photograph is captioned "The Russo Hershian Family will now perform." The collection is rounded out with a striking photograph of a woman in a white dress posing for the camera against a white wall which is captioned "Miss Lethbridge." Though the subjects of the traveling party in these pictures are ultimately unknown to us their journey is emblematic of an entire generation's fascination with the railroad and the American West. In addition these large and impressive prints which capture both the urban development of California Oregon and Colorado along with the majesty of the rural settings in these states document their travels in an unusually rich and deluxe format. A unique and rich collection of western photographs produced in the last few years of the 19th century. unknown books
