World War I Hospital/Medical Worker Diary. 1918 France. In a Daily Reminder Calendar for 1918

1918021403No Place: No publisher 1918. Cloth. Good. World War I Hospital/Medical Worker Diary. 1918 France. In a Daily Reminder Calendar for 1918. Red cloth. 365 pp. one for each day of the year. No name/author given. Some entries rather faded and most written in pencil. Handwriting is sometimes illegible. We speculate the author may have been an officer in the AEF as many of their entries refer to daily inspections and they reference an officer training drill in one entry. Many entries also refer to lieutenants majors and other officers although very rarely giving names instead using a single initial. It appears they were part of the AEF's hospital unit with mention of being at a frontline ambulance medical facility run by French forces and called Ambulance de Bois Roger see Feb. 12. First entry for January 1st indicates the author was in Langres France with the AEF American Expeditionary Force and mentions that school is out and he took a walk. They describe waiting for orders eventually being moved to Liffol-le-grand and Camp Hospital 18 for the month of January. By Early February entries are from Field Hospital 101. A hand drawn map/plan of Ambulance de Bois Roger appears on February 12. They describe setting up a triage with plan. On February 17 "considerable artillery to the east" is mentioned and the author as well as their going to an abandoned trench on the ridge. German biplanes are referred to using the French term avion boche. Boche was a derogatory term for Germans and the word appears off and on in entries going forward including March 8th where it states "Some boche in the air." They also mention that two were killed. By April the author is back at Camp Hospital 18 another map/plan of the facility appears and Field Hospital 101. Entries pretty much cease by April 23 with a few scattered entries short a few long" through the rest of the book.

Large ink block print of a man and woman dancing on the front cover with ink block print initials on the rear cover. Artwork presumably done by the owner. Thin paper stock in the interior.

It appears she attended Gypsy Camp in 1926. Gypsy Camp originating in the early 1900s as an artist colony. The site 65 acres of land with some frontage along the Illinois River and located in Benton County Arkansas was purchased by Weesie and J.H. McAllister in 1921. Weesie McAllister envisioned turning the land into a summer camp for girls. The first building erected on the site was a three story structure that served as camp office residence for the McAllister family and dorm for the girls. Other structures were built in the late 1920s and eventually the camp could hold around 120 young women. The camp operated until 1978. It eventually fell into disrepair before being added to the National Register Historic District in 1988. Even so it was still empty until 2017. This scrapbook documents the early stages of Gypsy Camp as experienced by a young woman. GOOD condition. The scrapbook is generally solid. Some pages are loose and laid in with chipped and torn edges. Paper is rather brittle. No publisher unknown

Ricker, MarillaBiblio.com

The Four Gospels

1911021486East Aurora NY: The Roycrofters 1911. First Edition. Quarter Leather. Very Good. Paper covered boards with a leather spine. 130 pp. SIGNED with a lengthy inscription by Marilla Ricker on the first endpaper. The inscription reads in part "So far as I've heard no Christian has arisen to state that the morals of the Rev. Clarence Richeson were contaminated by reading the works of Paine or Ingersoll. The Rev. claims to be a product of the Christian bible and he's still talking of his god and his bible." Ricker is referring to Clarence Richeson an on and off again minister for a variety of congregations who apparently suffered many bouts of insanity and was hospitalized several times. He also was engaged to many young women sometimes several at once. In 1911 he poisoned and murdered Avis Linnell and was sentenced to death. He was executed in early 1912. Given that the reverend was alive until early 1912 it is possible this was inscribed sometime in late 1911. A collection of four essays on four figures in history: Robert G. Ingersoll Thomas Paine John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards as well as an essay asking "What is Prayer" Ricker reflects on Robert G. Ingersoll his agnosticism and skill as an orator as well as his advocacy for freethought and questions Theodore Roosevelt's criticisms of Thomas Paine among other subjects. Marilla M. Ricker was the first woman admitted to the NH bar as well as being admitted to the bar in Washington DC in 1882. She pushed for prison reform and worked free of charge for many of her clients. Ricker was also a strong advocate for women's suffrage being the first woman to attempt to vote in New Hampshire arguing that she had a right to do so as a property owner in Dover NH. She also was a key figure in the freethought movement. VERY GOOD condition. Minor soiling and edgewear to the covers. Leather rather scuffed along the hinges. Minor toning in the interior.
