1928182801928. Randall Studio. University of Michigan Medical School student and faculty portrait 1928 documents racial and gender inclusion within a major American medical school during a period when African American and women physicians remained sharply underrepresented in medical education. The portrait supports research into professional training race gender and institutional access in interwar medicine especially because the group includes one African American man and four women among 82 students. The University of Michigan had admitted women beginning in 1870 and Sophia B. Jones became its first African American woman to earn a medical degree in 1885 giving this later class portrait added relevance within the school's longer history of medical education and inclusion.<br /> <br /> Silver gelatin photograph by Randall Studio. 1928. 22 x 18 inches. Mounted to photographer's board. The large-format image shows 82 students and faculty arranged in individual portrait format including four female students and one African American student. The scale and formal presentation identify the photograph as an institutional record of a medical cohort rather than a casual class image.<br /> <br /> The photograph captures a visibly limited but historically meaningful presence of women and an African American student in elite medical training before mid-century civil rights reforms. Small 1.5-inch tear to one corner barely affecting one of the 82 images; very small chips to side and top edges not affecting text or images; very good. Strong visual evidence of race gender and professional formation at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1928. unknown

1921List3033Spring Lake Michigan 1921. Twelve 8 ½ x 11 inch pages affixed to backing sheet. Wear marginal damage and some tearing to backing sheet; pages folded with some wrinkling; excellent. Joos Verplanke 1844–1943 was born in Zeeland The Netherlands and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1849. They settled in Holland Michigan and besides his time serving in the Union Army Verplanke would live in the Ottawa County area for the rest of his life. Offered here is a short memoir written by Verplanke for his children in 1921 when he was in his late 70s.<br /> <br /> The Verplanke family came to the US as part of the wave of immigration that followed the Dutch Reformed Church secession and the economic downturn in The Netherlands in the 1830s. Some Seceder church leaders such as Albertus Van Raalte felt that they were being religiously persecuted by the government and that staying in The Netherlands was religiously and economically untenable for their congregants.1 By the mid-1840s several Seceder ministers had formed emigration societies to help their parishioners leave for the US. As Verplanke puts it “They went in order to live where they could be free in religious matters as they had not been entirely free in the Netherlands during the thirties.â€<br /> <br /> Joos Verplanke and his family left Biervliet Zeeland in 1849 to join the Dutch colony in what would become Holland Michigan—but they and others in their party ran out of funds by Albany. The group was sent to “the Poor Houseâ€; many including Verplanke’s mother and younger brother died from cholera and the group was forced to leave. Arriving in Grand Haven Michigan they were assisted by a farmer who had also immigrated from The Netherlands a few years prior. The farmer fed and housed the family and eventually raised funds for them to continue to Holland. In fact this ethos was important to the Dutch immigrants; some Seceder emigration societies had provisions that money would be pooled so that the richer immigrants could help the poorer reach the colony.1<br /> <br /> The Verplankes arrived destitute in Holland. Joos Verplanke describes the colony:<br /> <br /> “Holland was a very new colony practically in the woods with a few stores a few small houses. The Government land was taken up by these colonists. Rev. VanDerMeulen had settled in Zeeland. Rev. Ypma im Vriesland Rev. Bolks in Overisel and others in Graafscap; each in his colony. A few of the immigrants had money but most had just enough to get them here. It was very hard for them in this wild timbered country so different from the cultivated and thickly settled Netherlands. None of them had ever handled an axe. . However encouraged by their ministers they were determined to learn to use the axe and chop out a place where they could worship God as they wished which they had not been allowed to do in the Netherlands some time before.â€<br /> <br /> In 1862 Verplanke enlisted with the Union Army. He recalls training:<br /> <br /> “We were in Holland two weeks training. Had a jolly time everyone was good to us. We could have anything we wanted. All the beer we wanted to as there was no prohibition those days.â€<br /> <br /> He recalls the unit fighting Morgan’s raiders at “Tip’s Bend†Tebbs Bend Kentucky fighting in Knoxville and with Sherman on his March to the Sea. He also recalls his short-lived desertion from the steamer Matanzas in Washington:<br /> <br /> “So crowded was the boat that there was no room to lie down not even on the upper deck. I thought if I can get off I will not go with this boat. I talked to a few of the boys and they agreed with me. Just then the gang planks were hauled in so we could not sneak off that way. I looked over and noticed along the boat’s side the whale-fenders were hanging by ropes. We threw our knapsacks and slide sic down the ropes. . The next morning we went to headquarters and I told some kind of a story about getting left. . Though we had been booked as deserters there was nothing more said of it. So we remembered only the fun we had out of what might have proved to be a very bad venture.â€<br /> <br /> Verplanke mustered out in June of 1865. He became the town marshall in Holland and in 1876 successfully ran as a Democrat for Ottawa County Sheriff despite the county’s Republican lean. He ran again two years later as a Greenback. The Greenback Party was an agrarian anti-monopoly and pro- monetary and labor reform party but Verplanke frames his running as a Greenback as a practical decision: “I knew if I accepted the Greenback nomination I was almost certain of victory. . I needed it badly as I had spent so much money in electioneering†for the previous election.<br /> Verplanke farmed in Crockery Township and then moved to Spring Lake where he authored this document for the benefit of his nine living sons.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the Dutch settlement of Michigan following the Dutch Reformed Church split and those immigrants’ participation in the Civil War and American political life.<br /> <br /> 1 Robert P.

1844List3335Kalamazoo Michigan 1844. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 9 ¾ inches. Folded with very small tears at folds; larger tear at seal intersecting with text. Overall excellent to Near Fine. An 1844 letter from a woman who had recently moved to Kalamazoo to a friend in Urbana Ohio. The writer describes Kalamazoo:<br /> <br /> “It is nearly four months since we bade our sad adieu to Staten Island and our lovely abode & here have we been in the wilds of Michigan some two or three months we remained at Detroit two or three weeks with our youngest brother — the first of June our elder brother David removed to Kalamazoo and it is really a beautiful wonderful place; and of far greater magnitude than I had formed any conception and only ten years ago nothing but the indian war whoop was heard — now it really to a stranger presents almost as bustling an appearance as Detroit; much taste has been evinced by the founders of this magical village of the west; – they have allowed to remain unharmed the splendid forest trees and the whole town presents the aspect of a grove — it is becoming the great thoroughfare to St Josephs & Chicago & St Louis —.â€<br /> <br /> The first white settler within what is now the city of Kalamazoo Titus Bronson arrived in 1829; within ten years Kalamazoo County had several thousand residents. <br /> <br /> The writer also describes her plans for traveling to New Orleans hoping to avoid the seasickness-inducing “‘big lake’ travellingâ€. This would have been difficult as plank roads were not laid in the area until the following year and railroads would not reach Kalamazoo until 1846.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of white American settlement of Michigan. unknown
