191259399Vancouver Coquitlam Sumiqwuelu B.C.: Essondale Hospital for the Mind Colony Farm W.J. Moore Photographer 1912. Oblong 8vo. 7.5 x 5.75 in. 50 leaves unnumbered. on thick black paper stock. Printed mounted title in gilt & black on black with 49 silver gelatin photographs sized 4 x 6 in. mounted each leaf w/ printed text below in gilt on gray slips. Contemporary flexible textured calf Heinn Co. binding minor rubbing shelfwear still an excellent exemplar. This exceptional souvenir photo album visually documents the efforts of the British Columbia government to relieve the overcrowding at the Provincial Hospital for the Insane in New Westminster in the first decade of the 20th Century. In 1904 after appropriating 1000 acres of the traditional lands of the Kwiketlem First Nation peoples Dr. Charles Doherty focused on clearing over 180 hecatres of the flood plain constructing dikes building state-of-the-art farm buildings to provide purpose therapeutic occupational training and food for the new hospital which would later become Riverview. The Progressive Era movement to reform treatment of the mentally ill was to not only free them from deplorable asylum conditions which reformers such as Julia Lathrop Adolf Meyer and Eleanor Clark Slagle believed only increased otherwise curable mental illnesses but also provide training to gain employment upon discharge from the hospital. Doherty insisted on paying the patients a small salary to work and live at the farm and the Holstein herd which began with 22 cows in 1910 grew swiftly after importing 50 more from New York and Carnation Farms of Seattle so that that by the end of 1912 the farm was producing nearly 50000 gallons of milk with prize cows capturing top prizes at local farm exhibitions. The photographs open with shot of the gate to Colony Farm cottages and dining halls for patients barns and milking stations stables hay barn water tower silos corrals pumping station and dairy facilities. In addition there are several photos showing land clearing burgeoning silage corn fields nurseries horse-drawn seeding cutting hay oats and steam threshing.The final photo shows the initial reinforced concrete Essondale Hospital with red brick facades in the final stages of construction and would open later in 1913. One of the photos includes an office calendar dated November 1912 while two others show the visit of Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught 1850-1942 the first Governor General of Canada to be a member of the British Royal Family and his wife Princess Louise to the successful Colony Farm Sept. 11 1912. The Colony farm was expanded in 1918 by another 700 acres and would continue to thrive through World War II. Unfortunately in 1946 a series of arson fires destroyed most of the documents of the dairy operation and Colony Farm and eventually due to budgetary pressures the farm closed in 1983. The halcyon intentions of Manchester and Doherty would later be undone during the 20th Century as budgetary restraints prevented expansion or proper treatments so that by 1956 the Essondale Hospital was housing 4306 patients and 2200 staff members in buildings designed for 1800 patients. In addition medical practices of the time ranged from electroshock therapy and forced sterilization and would eventually be closed in 1992 as the de-institutionalization movement gained favor. Moore 1887-1963 launched his photographic career with Byron Harmon in Banff Alberta and by 1912 was established in Vancouver specializing in panoramic photographs after 1913 and later forming a partnership with Wilfred F. McConnell buying the Canadian Photo Co. He retired from the firm in 1953.

18139Watertown NY. 4 pp on a single folded sheet 8.5 x 11 inches when folded. Undated but reprints an article from The American Mining News August 1901. Old creases from folding staple holes at upper corner all else very good. Dunbar a broker appeals to Americans for investment in this Canadian mining region because "Canadians besides lacking the mining experience are too slow to take advantage of the golden opportunities which are being grasped by the more venturesome Americans." The Rainy River District he says "possess advantages over almost every other gold mining country in the world" due to easily worked ores and ready access to fuel water transportation and labor. There was apparently something to these claims as the area is seeing a resurgence in commercial mining activity today. Not found in OCLC. unknown
19275282Various locations in Minnesota and Canada 1927. Good. 1721pp. of mimeographed text illustrated with thirty-six original silver gelatin photographs mounted within the text. Original dark green cloth binder text bound with two brass brads. Abrasions and heavy rubbing to covers cloth fraying along spine. Minor toning and occasional thumb-soiling to text. Numerous ink corrections to text. A wonderful handmade detailed travel narrative documenting a two-week canoe excursion into the wilds of northern Minnesota and Canada in 1927. The author Harold R. Greenlee headed out from Winton Minnesota with his friend Donald MacNaught on June 5 and returned to the same location on June 23. In the meantime Greenlee and MacNaught traveled via canoe through "practically virgin wilderness without roads railroads or communication of any kind." Specifically they began their canoe trip up Fall Lake Basswood Lake and Prairie Portage then into Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario Canada. They then journeyed through Birch Lake Carp Lake Knife Lake and other locations along the U.S.-Canada border eventually reaching Saganaga Lake before they turned for home again. They were back in Minnesota by June 16 and spent the remainder of their trip at Red Rock Lake Ogishkemuncie Lake and various parts of the state on the way home. Greenlee's narrative records details on their fishing adventures catching mostly Great Northern Pike but also pickerel and trout locals and others encountered along the way the natural landscape and various natural features especially with regard to their rowing efforts the details in making camp and so forth. Greenlee's narrative is unusually detailed compared to similar fishing excursion memoirs of this type often comprised of a few or more pages per day.<br /> <br /> The photographs picture both Harold and Donald in their boat posed with fish carrying their canoe across the portages resting in camp cooking lunch on the river bank and more as well as scenes of the rapids at Prairie Portage an expanse of Knife Lake three different views of Silver Falls at Saganaga Lake a Native American grave on an island in Cache Bay on Lake Saganaga Jasper Falls a scene in Eddy Lake and "A full blooded Indian and canoe he built Saganaga Lake" among others. Harold and Donald spent part of their journey traveling with a party of engineers and a Native American canoeman and some of the photographs capture the other travelers.<br /> <br /> A representative entry reads as follows: "Just above the rapids and in Cypress Lake there is a sort of bowl shaped pool in which we saw Bass Wall-eyed pike Pickerel and Great Northern Pike. We decided to cast there a awhile and caught several Great Northern Pike and Pickerel. I hooked one Bass but he succeeded in throwing the hook out of his mouth. I was not sorry of this for the Bass season is not open. After fishing for a while we started up the Lake. We had to go through some narrows which looked more like a river than a lake and this lasted for some few hundred yards. We then had to make an abrupt right hand turn and headed northeast to Cypress Lake."<br /> <br /> We were unable to locate any other copies of this likely unique personal canoe trip narrative in OCLC or elsewhere. unknown

The first nine photographs appear to have been taken in the former location possibly the photographer's home the images depicting scenes around a woodframe house and a young girl astride a horse before turning outward to views of the Minnesota River from the bluff of North Mankato the cows on said bluff Minneopa Falls and the Minnesota River Bridge. The next location captured is a train station between Denver and Colorado Springs presumably Pikes Peak looming in the background. The next shot shows a rather large group of people both men and women walking along the railroad tracks through Royal Gorge Colorado the bank of the Arkansas River just a few feet to their left. The following photograph jumps from the Gorge to the Cawston Ostrich Farm in Pasadena California where a rather substantial clutch of ostriches peer out at the photographer from behind their enclosure's gate. The farm the first of its kind opened in 1886 to meet the demand for newly-fashionable ostrich feathers and was immediately a major tourist attraction. Two photographs follow of a horse-back ride across Mt. Lowe a peak in the southern folds of the San Gabriel Mountains California. The concluding two photographs show the train ride from northern California en route to Portland Oregon and finally a view of Mt. Sir Donald "highest peak of the Selkirk mountain British Columbia. unknown
