18906184821890. Unbound. Very Good. Sepia-toned gelatin silver boudoir photograph. Image approximately 7.5" x 4.5". on a slightly larger card mount. Light fading at the upper extremities very good or better. Contemporary ink caption on verso noting "Headquarters of the Beekmanites 6 miles from Rockford Ill." with a few later and erasable pencil notes. The Beekmanites were and still are to some degree an obscure religious cult. In the 1880s Dorinda Beekman declared herself Jesus and began her own religion on Weldon Farms in Winnebago Illinois outside of Rockford and declared the farm as Heaven. When Beekman suddenly died and didn't return from the dead three days later one of her disciples a red-headed man named George Jacob Schweinfurth declared that her spirit had taken over his body and he continued the religion and where he lived in luxury enjoying the company of the female "Angels" who worshipped him and who soon began to give birth to red-headed children causing the patriarch to be driven from the property and move to Chicago where he took up Christian Science. His story attracted some attention including a visit by and published article in The New York Times. A nice artifact of an obscure byway in American home-cooked religions. unknown

181643452New-York: Re-printed: For John Reid Bookseller 1816. Hardcover. First American edition. Original Boards. 8vo. 79 pages. 23 cm. In English with some Hebrew. Singerman 0260. <br> Copy belonging to Simon Gratz 1773-1839 with his signature and date 1817 the year after publication on the front end paper and on the title page. The signature matches examples of his signature which can be seen online at <br> www.kaplancollection.org/item/deed-simon-gratz-to-james-duncan-and-2b696467<br> The book then bears the donation bookplate of another later "Simon Gratz esq" 1837-1925 who was a prominent 19th-century Philadelphia lawyer educator and civic leader. The bookplate is from Gratz College which the later Simon Gratz helped found. <br> Nikelsburger takes on an apostate Jew Rev. Frey who is intent on converting his former coreligionists to Christianity. In his opening letter to Frey Nikelsburger does not hold back: "In your eagerness to convert the Jews to your way of thinking you make no scruples of converting and perverting the prophets by turning their words to a meaning which you conceive to be best adapted to your purpose; and in doing this you make them not only flatly contradict each other but themselves also." <br> "For American Jews Koul Jacob seemed an appropriate answer to Frey a Jewish convert to Christianity who had resumed his missionary activities shortly after his arrival in America. It was a well-tempered but firm refutation of Frey's arguments. Moreover its author was an English Jew and if American Christians were to take offense at it its European authorship distanced American Jews from it" Berlin G. Defending the Faith. Albany: SUNY 1979.<br> <br> "Simon Gratz 1773-1839 and Hyman Gratz 1776-1857 inherited their father's business.

They were among the founders of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Simon served in the Pennsylvania Volunteers during the war of 1812." www.ushistory.org/mikvehisrael <br> Simon Gratz' sister was Rebecca Gratz 1781-1869 the founder of the first Jewish Sunday school in America and who was also "said to have been the model of Rebecca the daughter of the Jewish merchant Isaac of York who is the heroine in the novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. Scott's attention had been drawn to Gratz's character by Washington Irving who was a close friend of the Gratz family" Wikipeida. <br> In addition Simon Gratz was a participant in the famous US Supreme Court real estate case of 1848 Gratz Vs.

Etowah was located just north of Cartersville Georgia in former Cass County. The Iron Works were destroyed by the Union Army in 1864 and after the War the area remained in ruins. <br /> <br /> From from the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography 6 volumes edited by William S. Powell:<br /> <br /> "Moses Stroup the eldest son of Jacob was born in Lincoln County N.C. With little formal schooling he was brought up in the iron business. Many contemporaries considered him to be one of the "most expert furnacemen" in the South and a "remarkable genius" in the iron business as well as a good money-maker but a "poor keeper." He accompanied his father to South Carolina about 1815 and when Jacob moved to Georgia in the late 1820s Moses stayed behind. But in 1843 he joined his father at Cass County Ga. and bought him out. Moses built a rolling mill and rolled some of the first railroad iron made in Georgia some of which was used on the state-owned Western and Atlantic. In 1847 he sold the Cass County works to Mark Anthony Cooper and Company and shortly moved to Alabama where he bought ore lands from the government and began the Round Mountain Furnace in 1849". <br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Bartow County was created from the Cherokee lands of the Cherokee County territory on December 3 1832 and named Cass County after General Lewis Cass 1782–1866 Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson Minister to France and Secretary of State under President James Buchanan3 who was instrumental in the removal of Native Americans from the area. However the county was renamed on December 6 1861 in honor of Francis S. Bartow because of Cass's support of the Union4 even though Bartow never visited in the county living 200 miles 320 km away near Savannah all of his life. Cass had supported the doctrine of popular sovereignty the right of each state to determine its own laws independently of the Federal government the platform of conservative Southerners who removed his name. The first county seat was at Cassville but after the burning of the county courthouse and the Sherman Occupation the seat moved to Cartersville where it remains. n.p. unknown
