Wonderful Vernacular Photograph Album Capturing Scenes in the American West with Numerous Striking Panoramic Images of the Grand Canyon and the Rocky Mountains

19103375Numerous locations including New Mexico Arizona California but mostly British Columbia 1910. About very good. Forty-six leaves illustrated with 232 photographs between 3.25 x 5.5 inches including forty small panoramic images measuring around 3.5 x 12 inches some manuscript annotations some images captioned in the negative. Oblong folio. Contemporary pebbled leather stamped in gilt "Grand Canyon and Canadian Rockies" on the front cover formerly string tied but binding and leaves now loose. One image roughly removed from the album minor chipping to some leaves but otherwise minor wear. An unusual and wholly engrossing collection of western American vernacular photography titled in manuscript on the first page "Views taken by M.H. Fussell of trip taken by Sarah E. Fussell and himself to Los Angeles to attend Amer. Med. Asso. On return trip via Canadian Rockies camping at Emerald Lake near Field Canada as seen by pictures." The author of this inscription was Dr. Milton Howard Fussell 1855-1921 longtime Philadelphia physician and instructor of clinical medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who was the head of the Medical Ward at Episcopal Hospital until shortly before his death. Dr. Fussell must have also had a passion for photography as the present photographs were apparently taken by him along the course of his trip to the west coast with many of the pictures displaying Dr. Fussell's captions in the negative. A few of the captions are written backwards adding to the amateur character of Dr. Fussell's otherwise well-composed pictures. While on the way to California Dr. Fussell's photographs begin in Chicago with a couple of small panoramas of Lincoln Park but the scene swiftly shifts to the American West with images of Native Americans among them shots of "Indian children" and an "Indian Village" a "Pueblo at Laguna" numerous shots of New Mexico Las Vegas Raton and Albuquerque several small panoramic scenes of the majestic Grand Canyon and more. During their visit to the Grand Canyon Dr. and Mrs. Fussell took the chance to snap portraits of each other under which the annotation reads "The climbers. It took 12 hours to make the trip up & down. Hot!!!" On the way to California Dr. Fussell also took a couple of images of Kansas and Nevada before proceeding to snap about a half dozen pictures of the Sacramento Valley. The photographs from this point forward constituting the majority of the pictures in the album concentrate on the latter half of Dr. and Mrs. Fussell's expedition to British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. After visiting Victoria and Vancouver the Fussells stayed at Camp Crusoe on Emerald Lake. This portion of their trip includes a few more images of the travelers themselves including a shot of Sarah with a large dead black bear. In addition to several small panoramas of Emerald Lake Dr. Fussell captures scenes of the natural wonders of British Columbia such as Mt. Burgess Mt. Wapta Bow Valley Yoho River Emerald Glacier Valley of Ten Peaks Kicking Horse Canyon Bow River Lake Louise Moraine Lake Mirror Lake Fraser River and more. The last few leaves feature other scenes in British Columbia and elsewhere with a street scene in Banff a view of the "Prairie Town of Suscatchewan B.C." a handful of pictures featuring the Sierra Nevadas and several photos captioned "Over the Coast Range" taken from a train. A unique photographic record of a West Coast excursion taken by a notable Philadelphian and his wife in the early 20th century. unknown

WOMEN'S PROPERTY RIGHTS IN COLORADO

79363Four quit-claim deeds dating from the 1880s involving women in property transfers at a time when womenâ€™s property rights were severely restricted nationwide. A deed dated September 17 1885 recorded the purchase of a lot in Aspen by Mrs. Rilla Patten who paid $150 to J.C. Dodge for lot â€œLâ€ in Block 99 in the town of Aspen. The cityâ€™s population exploded from 500 to 3500 between 1883 and 1885 reflecting the rapid development driven by the silver boom. On January 5 1865 Nanum Howe Rice and Eliza A. Rice husband and wife sold a "planing mill" and all its machinery in Denver Arapahoe County Territory of Colorado for $3000 to another party. He died in 1878. The additional deeds appear to show the sale and transfer of properties within families. On July 18 1887 another deed records the sale of mining property in Clear Creek County by Catherine M. Cowles for $1000 to Frederick Nelson. According to Ancestry records Nelson married Catherine K. Cowles in 1885. Her mother Catherine M Cowles died in 1884. On December 6 1883 John Hardenburgh sold to his wife Martha B. Hardenburgh an interest in several mining claims in Pitkin County Colorado and a lot in the town of Aspen for $1000. The couple was married in 1873 and she preceded him in death. Changes in property rights laws for women paved the way for these transactions. While still a territory Colorado adopted the Married Women's Property Act in 1861 which gave married white women the right to own property otherwise given to them. Before this time under coverture an English common law system married women could not own property control their wages be part of contracts and otherwise act autonomously to their husband's authority. Further in 1872 the Colorado Territory allowed any woman while married to â€œexecute any bond bill promissory note or other instrument in writing for the direct payment of money; and if the consideration thereof went to the benefit of her estate.â€ By 1900 most states allowed married white women to own property but access to credit and mortgages without a male co-signer was a barrier for all women not addressed until the 1970s. unknown

Women's Education Movement. Western Female Seminary Catalog 1868-1869

1868167531868. Women's Education Movement. Western Female Seminary Catalog 1868-1869. Oxford OH. Western Female Seminary was founded in 1853 as a daughter school of Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley Massachusetts. Its first principal Helen Peabody and most of the early faculty had been students and teachers at Mount Holyoke. Mary Lyon Residence Hall on the Western campus is named for Mount Holyok's founder Mary Lyon. It later received a charter and became Western College an all-female institution. Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today. In the 1800's the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education.
