1917List3507Alaska 1917. Photo album measuring 7 ¼ x 11 ½ inches containing 187 photos 2 unaffixed and five loose real photo postcards with a contemporaneous newspaper clipping. Photos approximately 3 x 4 inches with generally excellent contrast and in Near Fine condition. Overall excellent to Near Fine. A photo album belonging to brothers Ruben 1892–1984 and Daniel 1895–1969 Diener documenting their 1916–1917 journey to the Territory of Alaska. The newspaper clipping reproduces a letter from Dan Diener describing their time there:<br /> <br /> “I went with an old prospector to try and locate a lost mine. We found it but there was not enough gold to pay for mining it so in that respect our trip was a failure. . I lived in a tent with a small sheet iron stove during all this time and strange as it seems it was fairly comfortable. . One day I walked or snowshoed 30 miles for my mail when the thermometer was 58 below. . But the hardships were sweetened at times with the most beautiful scenery man can imagine.†March 1917<br /> <br /> The Dieners’ trip took them to Alaska’s southern coast to Ketchikan Cordova Valdez and Seward. There are some identifiable ships including the Admiral Farragut the Mariposa shortly before its sinking and the wreck of the James Drummond in British Columbia.<br /> <br /> Subjects include Chief Johnson’s totem pole in Ketchikan erected in 1902 in honor of Chief Gut Wain George Johnson; d. 1938 of the Gaanaxadi clan of the Tongass tribe—a real photo postcard from Kasaan shows many brightly colored totem poles along the shore with dilapidated wooden houses behind them—boats filled with fish outside the Carlisle Packing Company in Cordova and a real photo postcard of a man and dog captioned “READY FOR THE SUMMER TRAIL / SEWARD ALASKA†on the back of which Ruben Dieners has written:<br /> <br /> “Oct 9 1916. Here you are. This is Judge Hildreth of whom we have written you. Our best friend here and hereafter. We are going prospecting with him next spring. The dog in the picture carry’s fifty pounds. Brother Ruben.â€<br /> <br /> H.H. Hildreth was a district court commissioner in Seward editor of the Alaskan newspaper in Sitka and The Alaska Prospector in Valdez and secretary of the Matanuska Mining Company. <br /> <br /> The shots of towns show the development of the region: in some an area of forest has been recently cleared and stumps of trees might surround a few small wooden houses or platforms where houses are to be erected; while others show towns with telegraph lines graded dirt roads with sidewalks dense housing and railroad and tram lines. Two shots from Seward show the paved sidewalk of its main street with a hotel and bars and a dog team waiting outside the hardware store. As Dieners wrote they lived in a tent and several photos show the outside of the quarters: two semi-permanent canvas tents next to a wide wooden walkway. Others show men presumably the brothers snowshoeing hiking and riding in a canoe; and of course many are scenery shots of forests waterfalls and snowcapped mountains.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of post-gold rush Alaska. unknown

Sunday was a wonderful day we took our lunch and walked out on theComing back we gathered seven kinds of wild flowers daisies buttercups violets wild sweet pea a light purple flower similar to our columbine only smaller a dark purple flower almost like our snap dragon and salmon berry blossoms. There are quantities of ferns everywhere. I have a centerpiece for my dining table made of a tin can cut down to two inchesWith much love for father and yourself Alice.b ALS. June 30 1921. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Mother :- If you could look in and see us I think you would say we have a very pretty and comfortable home. Out things arrived early Tuesday morning and they were all uncrated and mostly in place Tuesday night. The things which I ordered from Sears-Roebuck came at the same time.c ALS. March 13 1922. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Mother:- Can you image what it would be like to have a March wind blowing a gale with about three feet of loose snow on top of a crust That is what we have had for twenty-four hours sometimes we couldnt see the nearest houses there are drifts every where the most bothersome one is in front of our dining room windowsWe were all very much excited yesterday the order came confirming the rumor that Liscum is to be abandoned and asking how long it will take to get everything ready to be moved to Ft. Seward with about nine ft of snow on the ground we replied at least two months. George has asked for a Transport June tenth. As the order reads we go to Ft. Seward but George is still hoping to be brought back to the States and go to Benning. I rather dislike the idea of packing everything again in just one year!d ALS. May 21 1922. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Aunt Laura:- This is Georges birthday and we have been celebrating by having our first picnic of the season in a rocky cove down at the end of Swansport. We took frying pans and built a fire so as to cook beefsteak fry potatoes and make coffee. It certainly does taste good out of doors. In order to get to the camping place we had to walk quite a distance overa short play in which Donald made his first appearance on the stage he did better than I expected and looked quite grown up in a long trouser suit. All the children were promoted with an average of about 90. We have all had bad colds but are feeling fine today. We were very sorry to hear that Uncle Perl has been so miserable and hope he will improve a lot and enjoy the summer he usually feels better when he can get out doors more. When I wrote you after Christmas I thought I spoke about Helens Sash it is perfectly stunning with her blue corduroy dress and she was so pleased with it. Much love to you both Alice. unknown

190141698Nome: The Nome News 1901. 1901. ALASKA CRIME. First edition. 15" x 22" newsprint 4 pp. printed in six columns. The newspaper is printed semi-weekly and this issue is dated August 17 1901. This newspaper is quite content-rich compared to most small papers of the era with considerable space devoted to original local news content. Problems of violence and frontier justice dominate this issue. A large headline on the front page blares "A Murderous Knife Wielded" and describes a fight over a woman in which one man's head was nearly severed. Another lengthy story reports that a gang of 65 masked men attacked a camp on Glacier Creek at three o'clock in the morning--leading to thirteen arrests and one man hospitalized with a gunshot would--all the result of a disputed mining claim the history of the dispute is recounted in the article. A separate editorial reacts to these events with a call for martial law at the camp concluding "A man may kill another in the heat of passion for principle and be justified but the man who deliberately plans to jeopardize life for gold over which there is a clouded title is a murder to all intents and purposes and deserves the fate of a murderer." Another article reports that Judge James Wickersham spent a day in Nome on his way to Unalaska where he will preside over two murder trials and that he is concerned about finding enough competent jurors. And yet another reports that 54 members of the Nome Bar Association have sent a signed petition to President McKinley requesting that he remove District Judge Arthur H. Noyes on the grounds that he "is vacillating and dilatory weak and partial negligent careless and absolutely incompetent" and that "the interposition of a fearless honest and competent judge is urgently required at Nome to prevent further riot and bloodshed to preserve law and order and to protect life liberty and property." The story of yet another murder also gold-related appears on the paper's last page where we also find the usual classified and display advertising. Several creases from folding and a small area of loss at the center shaped like a small triangle that affects all pages and measures 1/2" x 1/2" x 1." Good clean copy. The Nome News, 1901. unknown

Eminent historian William Coxe 1747-1828 studied the voyages and exploration by Bering and others to the regions of Kamchatka the Aleutian Islands and Siberia to prepare this overview of the geography and cultures of the lands between Russia and North America and to analyze the economic potential of trade--particularly in furs--with the region. According to Sabin "Mr. Coxe's book contains many curious and important facts with respect to the various attempts of the Russians to open a communication to the New World." The 1780 first edition of this work covered Russian voyages of discovery between 1740 and 1769; the 1787 third edition added a supplement comparing these explorations to those of Captains Cook and Clerke. Our much-expanded fourth edition gives in the words of the Preface "a complete series of voyages from 1711 to 1792 comprising all that is known on the subject." Some of this supplementary information was gleaned from earlier accounts by German historians G. F. Muller and P. S. Pallas and some from Coxe's own travels in Russia. According to Lada-Mocarski Coxe "also succeeded in securing additional material: for instance the narrative and maps of Krenitzin and Levashev's 'secret' expedition the first official Russian government expedition since Bering's 2nd expedition of 1741. He was able to secure this particular information not widely known at the time even in Russia from Dr. Wm. Robertson who in turn obtained it through his friend Dr. Rogerson first physician to the Empress Catherine II. . . . In view of the above additions one should consider the fourth edition of 1803 as the most desirable." He concludes: "Coxe's work particularly the fourth edition is a result of contemporary and authoritative sources translated into English not to be overlooked by scholars and collectors alike." There are also distinct aesthetic advantages to the present Large Paper version over the octavo printing. Not only is the type beautifully re-set and laid out as well as surrounded by vast margins but as Streeter notes there are two charts here that are not included in the octavo issue of 1803. The original owner of this volume Marcus Gage is known to have assembled a substantial library of beautifully cared-for books on travel and discovery see for example "Exploration & Discovery 1576-1939 Books from the Library of Franklin Brooke-Hitching" passim. Gage notes that he got the book from "Mr. Asperne"—no doubt the London publisher and bookseller James Asperne 1757-1820. ABPC and RBH find just four other Large Paper copies at auction in the past 45 years two of which had condition issues. One could wait a considerable time to find a copy as attractive and desirable as the present one. Cadell and Davies unknown
