William Higgins 1791â€“1872 was a farmer sea captain and owner of and investor in ships from Bowdoinham Maine. According to the Maine Maritime Museum which holds his family papers Higginsâ€™ ships traded mainly in lumber which they took from Wilmington North Carolina to the Caribbean. Offered here is a logbook recording the travels of several of Higginsâ€™ ships particularly the brigs Mary Jane and Llewellyn alongside related documents and personal letters. The logbook dating between 1832 and 1836 extensively documents the course wind data and weather remarks for travels of the ships between east coast US port cities and various locations in the Caribbean including Barbados St. Thomas and Martinique. The logbook also contains a copy of astronomer and mathematician Elijah Burrittâ€™s illustration â€œA Plan of the Solar System Exhibiting its Relative Magnitudes and Distancesâ€ engraved by W. G Evans and printed in 1835 by F.J. Huntington. The letters and documents date from 1830 to 1867 and are also mostly business-related including an insurance document for the brig William Parrington a roll of sailors enlisted to work on a six-month journey between the Caribbean and the US in 1845 a bill of sale for Â¼ stake in the brig Mary Jane and receipts and logs for items including various liquors sugar molasses casks and so on. One letter from a young man in Wilmington requests advice on how to start his own business in the style of Higginsâ€™; other letters concern family matters. One interesting undated document is a writ addressed to the Marshal of the District of Maine concerning a lawsuit filed against Higgins and Rufus Carr master of the William Parrington by Zachrisson Nelson Co. The suit alleged that Carr acting as an agent for the shipâ€™s owners that is Higgins had agreed to an affreightment involving shipping from Jamaica to Spain to New York but had then â€œwholly neglected and refused to do soâ€. Of interest to scholars of maritime history and trade in the mid-19th century. unknown

[Music – Dance – Cuba / Caribbean – African-Americana] Tyers, W HBiblio.com

Trocha. A Cuban Dance

1890List3666New York: Jos. W. Stern & Co 1890. Folio sheet music illustrated pictorial cover printed in orange. 5 pp. including cover. Approximately 13 Â½ x 10 Â½ inches. Covers detached loss to front cover contents complete fair to good. A decorative late nineteenth-century dance publication for â€œTrochaâ€ described on the cover as â€œA Cuban Danceâ€ composed by the African American composer and bandleader W. H. Tyers. The elaborate pictorial cover incorporates stylized tropical foliage and island scenery rendered in a bold single-color design typical for the periodâ€™s fascination with exoticized musical forms. William H. Tyers 1870â€“1924 was an African American composer arranger and bandleader active in New York during the ragtime era. Born in Petersburg Virginia to Henry Tyers and Jane â€œJennieâ€ Jones both formerly enslaved he spent part of his youth in Richmond before his family relocated to New York City where he began studying piano. His early teachers recognized an aptitude for composition as well as performance and by the mid-1880s he was writing dance pieces including polkas and waltzes. Around the age of twenty Tyers secured employment as a music librarian and arranger with a touring concert company a position that brought him to Europe where he studied orchestration and arranging with Professor Gaspari in Hamburg. Returning to New York Tyers became active in the cityâ€™s rapidly expanding popular music trade working as an arranger and composer for publishers including F. A. Mills and Jos. W. Stern & Co. In 1896 he published â€œSamboâ€ a syncopated march sometimes considered to be one of the first instrumental rags.1 â€œTrochaâ€ also released in the 1980s brought Tyers prominence for his ability to write Latin-style rhythms. It was re-issued in 1913 as a tango and its success led Tyers to work as an arranger with Joseph W. Stern in 1897. Tyersâ€™ compositions blended contemporary American dance music with Caribbean and Latin themes a style reflected in pieces such as Trocha and later in his well-known ragtime composition Panama 1911 which remained a staple of early jazz and dance orchestras. OCLC finds two copies with different entries at the Cleveland Public Library and the British Museum Reference Collections. 1 â€œWilliam Tyers Music Arrangerâ€ African American Registry https://aaregistry.org/story/william-tyers-born/ accessed March 10 2026.

[Music – Plantation Songs / Caribbean Slavery Imagery] Wilson, Chas HBiblio.com

Cuba Plantation Dance

1855List3682Philadelphia: Edward L. Walker 142 Chestnut St. above 6th 1855. Folio sheet music pictorial lithographed cover approximately 13.5 Ã— 10.5 inches. Light edge wear and minor toning; very good with a strong impression of the cover illustration. An antebellum piano dance reflecting the plantation imagery that circulated widely in mid-nineteenth-century American popular music. â€œCuba Plantation Danceâ€ was composed by Chas. H. Wilson a little-documented composer whose name appears chiefly in connection with this work and issued in Philadelphia during the early 1850s by Edward L. Walker the predecessor firm to the major publishing house Lee & Walker. A copy is recorded in the Levy Collection at Johns Hopkins which dates the publication to 1855. The cover presents a stylized plantation landscape framed by tall stalks of sugar cane with a small central vignette of a dancing Black figure. The use of Cuban plantation imagery reflects contemporary American fascination with the Caribbean sugar economy and with plantation life beyond the United States. During the 1850s Cuba was one of the largest slave societies in the Atlantic world. By the midcentury the islandâ€™s sugar plantations relied on hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans and the enslaved population of Cuba was estimated at roughly 400000 people in the 1840sâ€“1850s working primarily in the rapidly expanding sugar industry. Although Spain formally agreed to end the Atlantic slave trade in 1820 illegal importations of enslaved Africans into Cuba continued for decades supplying labor for the islandâ€™s plantations well into the 1850s. American publishers frequently borrowed such imagery for plantation-themed dance music marketed to the parlor trade. Pieces labeled â€œplantation dancesâ€ or â€œEthiopian dancesâ€ formed part of the broader culture of minstrel and plantation entertainment. The title page bears a dedication to â€œMiss Arabelle Conradâ€ typical of mid-century sheet music addressed to amateur pianists. Along with the aforementioned copy in the Levy collection we find copies at Michigan and Temple. Edward L. Walker, 142 Chestnut St., above 6th unknown
