19343New York: Damon & Peets. Waino and Plutano also called Plutanor were a pair of exceptionally strong dwarf brothers from Ohio named Hiram and Barney born c. 1825 and 1827. They were each 40 inches tall and weighed about 45 pounds yet they could perform feats of great strength such as lifting heavy weights and wrestling with audience members on stage. Discovered and subsequently promoted by a traveling showman in 1852 the brothers were renamed and given a sensational backstory in which they were wild savages captured in Borneo after a great struggle with armed sailors. They were exhibited at state fairs across the United States in the 1860s and they later toured with William C. Coup's circus. They joined P.T. Barnum's traveling exhibitions around 1880 and went on to earn more than $200000 over the next two decades. This scarce pitch book describes the isolated "negritos" of Borneo "yellowish in color and undersized" the wild "monkey antics" of the brothers when they first reached America their amazing strength and their travels and gradual domestication. Undated sideshow pitch book c. 1880. 3 x 4.5 inches 16 pp in original illustrated wrappers. One full-page illustration and 2 within the text. A few small chips/short tears; very good.

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.
