19071873Southeastern Missouri 1907. About very good. Seventy-six silver gelatin photographs on twenty grey card leaves each image approximately 3.75 x 2.25 inches. Square grey cloth album string-tied. Light wear and soiling to covers. Contemporary ink inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and soiling to leaves heaviest on first three leaves. Leaves lightly warped. Two images excised. A charming vernacular photograph album depicting life along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the declining town of Gayoso Missouri. The caption on the front pastedown reads "These pictures made in the year of 1907 by Tom Pierce & Ed Cappoc at Goyaso Mo." Gayoso located on the banks of the Mississippi in the southeasternmost tip of the state was settled in 1799 and incorporated in 1851 as the county seat of Pemiscot County. By 1898 the movement of the river threatened to swamp the town and the county seat was moved to several miles south to Caruthersville. Though the river changed course and briefly spared Gayoso by 1900 its post office closed and today any remnants are buried deep in the silt of the Gayoso Bend Conservation Area. The present images show the town disappearing as the river eats away at large swathes of its surrounding land.<br/><br/>Several of the images depict flooding and high water -- trees standing in water men wading to cut lumber riverbank erosion and one image seems to show a collapsed pier. Other views show boats traveling up and down the Mississippi some ferrying lumber several large paddlewheelers and men poling lumber on rafts. One image shows a horse and buggy on what we presume to be the main street of Gayoso with a storefront visible behind the rig. Many of the images show the hardy folk who are still living in the remains of the dying town -- a woman and child in front of a clapboard house with a rotting porch and crumbling roof; a group of boys and three dogs all laughing in front of a building that may be the schoolhouse; one man apparently giving a haircut to his friend seated in front of some steps high water visible amongst the trees in the background; and several images which show men and boys logging and lumbering some of them standing in waist-high water while they fell doomed stands of trees. The album captures a slice of life on the Mississippi River at the turn of the century with all its attendant hardships commercial opportunities and dangers. unknown books

19465498Atlanta; Cleveland MS 1946. Very good. Two typed letters totaling 3pp. plus printed form completed in manuscript. Previously folded. Minor edge wear. Light tanning. A pair of typed letters that comprise an inquiry from Guy B. Johnson President of the Southern Regional Council and a response from Mrs. E.H. Green a resident of Bolivar County Mississippi concerning Black voting there in the July 1946 primary election. In his letter Johnson asks Green if she can corroborate stories in the Jackson Advocate that "all Negro votes were challenged" in Bolivar despite the fact that "Large numbers of Negroes were qualified to vote." Green responds that the votes of 241 qualified Blacks in Mound Bayou "the all Negro town" were all challenged on the basis that eligible African Americans had previously voted only in November general elections not primary elections. She also adds several observations from other districts in the county including the second where the votes of registered Blacks who appeared were also challenged and set aside. As a matter of prudence Green asks that "You do not give my name any publicity in this matter." The Southern Regional Council was a multiracial group founded in 1944 that sought equality and an end to racial violence. Also included with the two letters is a printed invitation for Mrs. E.H. Green to join the council with some information on its founding and goals. unknown
