1881List1934BCarson 1881. Single sided receipt measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ½ inches. Near fine with a small tear to bottom of page. Near Fine. A receipt issued for passage from Carson to Badie Nevada in 1881 aboard the Virginia and Truckee Railroad issued with a note that reads “Chinamen†in the remarks section. The Virginia and Truckee was originally built to service the Comstock Lode area in Nevada. Chinese who represented ten percent of Virginia City during the period referred to Nevada as “Yin Shan†which translates to “Silver Mountain.†Chinese people in Nevada held varied jobs in the state perhaps more so than in other parts of the United States with an 1870 census listing Chinese merchants miners laborers laundrymen cooks gamblers and harlots. Despite the heavy involvement of Chinese in Nevada during the period few ephemeral records surface in the trade likely due to the drops in population caused by the Chinese Exclusion Act and perhaps also due to the overall population drop when miners left the region. unknown
186435643Virginia Tennessee: Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company 1864. n/a. Broadside. Fair. Broadside. Paper measures approx. 8.25" x 6". Paper is folded creased with a couple of pin holes at the folds. Contents printed and hand written. Departing Depot name difficult to translate but the freight was forwarded to Saltville Virginia known for its salt supplies. The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company was vital for transporting supplies for the Confederate Army. This railroad was later incorporated by Norfolk Southern. During the War Robert L. Owen Sr. who had been one of the engineers surveying for the railroad and who had risen through the ranks succeeded McDaniel as president. The railroad became a key supply food and troop movement route for the Confederate States Army particularly from the capital of Richmond to the interior at Chattanooga Tennessee. The V&T moved also key raw materials: copper from mines near Cleveland Tennessee lead from mines near Bristol salt from Saltville Virginia and saltpeter from caves throughout the region. Union forces finally captured much of the railroad and destroyed tracks and rolling stock in late 1864 although service was periodically interrupted by a series of cavalry raids earlier in the war.

1906List3021La Habana Province Republic of Cuba 1906. Twenty-two photographs measuring 7 ¼ x 9 ½ inches mounted on heavy cardstock measuring 10 x 12 inches. Photos numbered and dated on negative. In album embossed with “Havana Central Railroad Co./ Progress Photographs/ GUANAJAYâ€. Photos with fine contrast and some wear; mounts with minor damage slightly warped with some detached from binding. Overall excellent. Havana Central Railroad Company was an American company formed in April 1905. It opened two electric tram lines—Havana to Guanajay in 1906 and Havana to Güines in 1907—before it was bought by the English company United Railways following the Panic of 1907. Offered here is a photo album showing the construction of the Guanajay line. The photographs show laborers assisted by horse-drawn carts digging culverts laying tracks and erecting bridges and buildings.<br /> <br /> This project came on the heels of the successful efforts of the Cuba Company another railroad company to make the emerging Cuban Republic amenable to American business.They did so first by using ‘revocable permits’ which could ostensibly be revoked by the new government when it was formed to circumvent the Foraker Amendment prohibiting concessions to American companies by the US’s military government; and second by using their close relationships to several members of the Cuban Constitutional Convention to include a law allowing irrevocable permits.1 These along with the Platt Amendment and Governor Leonard Wood’s General Railway Law led to what would amount to domination by US interests in Cuba particularly but not exclusively in the railroad industry.2<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the early Republic of Cuba especially the history of US businesses in the country.<br /> <br /> 1 Juan C.
