18470002411MARION ALABAMA BIRMINGHAM AL. Good. 1847. On offer is a super significant ante bellum manuscript letter handwritten by Dr. F.E. Gordon writing to his sister in Charleston South Carolina about his new life in Marion Alabama. Dated May 15 1847 the four 4 page offers up a scathing review. Dr. Gordon who would go on to be a noted member of the medical community in Marion for having published papers on fever and dysentery in a number of medical journals had apparently just moved to Alabama from South Carolina to set up his medical practice. He writes of his wife Sarah and their young son bemoaning the fact that Alabama is a less civilized less hospitable place than South Carolina. Here are some snippets: "Alabama differs much from S. Carolina and in nothing more than in the general demoralization which prevails. Public faith and private have long ago fallen into disrepute; and they are at present canvassing whether they shall repudiate the state debt as Mississippi did a few years ago or not. For my part I shall never cease to deplore the want of honesty and of refinement which are equally prevalent throughout this State. All the ceremonies which are so punctiliously kept up by the better classes in Charleston are unknown here; and those who pretend to lead the fashion and rule the politics of the state would be dubbed "outer barbarians" in your native City. In Mobile you can find some good society although the same moral tone pervades the most of that city." He says he is determined to make the best of it however. He mentions that though there are few amusements no theater or balls save for events at the local schools: Howard College Marion Female Seminary and the Judson Institute. He attends a series of lectures on Natural Philosophy and Chemistry given by Prof. Sherman at Howard College. He says he has also been called to court on cases to give "medical testimony."

194944365N. P.: Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company 1949. 1949. RAILROAD. 18" x 24" color print. An attractive print issued by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe celebrating the railroad's sleek modern trains but also highlighting the disruptive force of technology on a formerly pristine frontier. It was said of the Transcontinental Railroad completed in 1869 that it destroyed traditional conceptions of time and space by being able to move people and goods so quickly through vast distances. In this image created eighty years after the laying of the Golden Spike time and space are once again disrupted as modern train design confronts an image of three Native Americans who appear more at home in the mid-nineteenth century than the post-World War Two era. The print shows a long Super Chief passenger train cutting through a southwestern landscape with Monument Valley-type buttes rising in the background and three Native Americans in the foreground. The most prominent of the three Indians atop a trotting white horse wears a long flowing headdress and holds a spear aloft pointed toward the train. Though the chief is moving forward the train is drawn in such a way as to clearly outpace him alluding to the triumph of modern technology over the abilities of man and beast. The meaning of the chief's gesture seems a bit unclear to this viewer - it is hard to tell whether he is saluting the train or cursing it. A captivating western image. Neat expert repairs on verso to the four corners. Short repaired tear in upper margin not affecting the image repaired two-inch tear in lower left just into the image. Very good.
