A very good set. The original owner of this archive was Alexander Hall 1876 – 1954. He was born in Ontario Canada but lived most of his life in California and died in Seattle. His wife Elsie Alberta née Brown 1887 – 1980 also appears in many of the photos present in this archive. Elsie was born in Manitoba Canada and died in Seattle.

One large sepia photo 13 x 6 " captures a group of dozens of members posed in front of an unnamed Salvation Army headquarters and another taken in Fresno California in 1944 captures a similarly large group in front of a mural of the globe with the text "Christ for the World."

8vo., First Edition, with large folding coloured chart on japon as frontispiece, wanting [blank] front free endpaper; original black cloth, upper board and backstrip lettered in gilt, lemon endpapers, a remarkably well-preserved, bright, clean copy. With 6pp Salvation Army catalogue at end. William Booth founded the Salvation Army in 1878. In 1890, the same year that Stanley published 'In Darkest Africa', he published his most important work with deliberate irony. Here he analyses the causes of the pauperism and vice of the period and proposes a remedy by ten expedients. These include land settlement, emigration, rescue work among prostitutes and at the prison-gate, the poor man's bank, and the poor man's lawyer. Booth's powerful arguments were convincing, money was liberally subscribed and a large part of the scheme was carried through. Printing and the Mind of Man, 560.
1904206381904. 31 pp with illustrations from photographs in original wrappers. Spine covered with archival tape line in ink on the margin of one page otherwise clean and sound. In 1898 the Salvation Army undertook a project intended to relocate urban working poor people to rural areas and enable them to become productive farmers. The idea for the project came from Salvation Army founder William Booth who described the concept in his book In Darkest England and the Way Out 1890. General Booth's daughter Emma and son-in-law Fredrick St. George de Lautour Booth-Tucker took charge of the Salvation Army in the United States in 1896 and they took it upon themselves to put General Booth's plan into action. The plan was characterized by Frederick Booth-Tucker as an experiment in "domiculture" or the cultivation of families on family farms. The Booth-Tuckers appointed Col. Thomas Holland as the National Colonization Secretary and together they chose sites in California Colorado and Ohio for the colonies. Source: Schemp Fort Amity An Experiment in Domiculture 2011. The Amity colony was settled by thirty families from Chicago and Iowa each of whom received ten acres of land livestock and tools. By 1903 the colony had 450 residents. In 1904 when this collection of testimonials was produced--presumably as both a fundraising tool and a response to naysayers--the project still seemed like it might succeed. That it did not closing in 1909 was apparently not due to any failure in selecting worthy colonists but because the Salvation Army officials had purchased land that was so alkaline that sustainable farming was impossible.
