1850CAT0126Manual Labor School Shawnee Nation Johnson County Kansas 1850. nk on wove paper: 9 ¾ x 7-3/16 in.; strong creases where folded two small closed tears starting with scattered pinholes to creases. Very Good. The document lists the names and ages of four Creek boys and where letters to their parents are to be sent within the Indian Territory: two to Creek Agency and two to Little River Mission. Verso is written "Post Office for Indian Boys"; it is signed by or possibly addressed to Reverend Edward T. Peery superintendent of the Methodist Shawnee Manual Labor School from late 1844 to around 1850. The boys were presumably students at the school which taught religion basic academic subjects and manual labor farming "mechanics" sewing etc. to Native American children from 1839-1862. <br /> <br /> The school was founded by Reverend Thomas Johnson who supported slavery and used slaves at the school. The school briefly served as the second capital of Kansas Territory when the pro-slavery "Bogus Laws" were enacted in 1855. Superin-tendent reports claimed that the children were enrolled willingly by nearby tribes and that each day the student's time was divided equally between instruction and work. Recent scholarship has focused on the darker realities at the school which was supported by the US government as part of efforts to "civilize" tribes relocating after the Indian Removal Act 1830. <br /> <br /> One boy's father is listed as Robert Buckham at Little River in Creek Nation. Buckham's letters from Indian Territory 1841-1844 are held by Cornell University library in their Native American Collection; the finding aid states that he and his wife were unable to have children and planned to adopt "orphans." <br /> <br /> See also Martha B.

1919WRCLIT73361Long Eaton 1919. Four volumes. Whole numbers 23 4 and 5. Quarto. Decorated wrappers. Some modest fraying or shallow chipping along a few overlap wrapper edges occasional light foxing first number pulled at staples otherwise very good. Early representative numbers of this annual published at the Long Eaton school which was found in 1910. While the indices of contributors yield up no names of literary stars the periodical is distinguished by the presence of tipped-in woodcuts some in color and examples of color stencil prints of embroidery designs. Number 3 is evidently wanting one of the woodcuts called for in the table which was evidently issued as a loose separate. Wrappers of two numbers denote it a 'Magazine' although the uniformity of 'Annual" is reflected on the title-pages. unknown books

018868Phoenix May 1918: Phoenix Union High School. Octavo. 231pp. The earliest recorded copies in the Arizona Newspaper Project and OCLC are in the 1930's. Much on this item dedicated to those classmates who had gone to fight in World War I. The opening poem is dedicated to the 28th. Besides giving accounts of the different departments there is a nice description of Jefferson Street when it was poorly lit in the first decade of the 20th Century. A later patriotic poem which notes that the Patriots of Phoenix High have "jacked old "Uncle Sammy" to bring justice "to the Hun". It goes on to say they did this by buying liberty bonds. It lists 185 of their older classmates who served in World War I four of whom died in the conflict. The school did not open in the Fall until December 16 because of the influenza crisis. Also there are large ads for some of the well-known Phoenix business some with a patriotic note such as Donofrios which suggests that while "you are thinking about that soldier Boy send him a box of their Cactus Candy."

194819690Poughkeepsie 1948-1951. Very good . Oblong 16mo. Commercial string-tied album white boards. 225 gelatin-silver prints 2.5" by 3.25" corner-mounted on black paper with captions in white ink. Apparently complete. Very good plus. Mild touches of wear along page edges; many captions a bit smudged; else clean and sound. <br/><br/>A evocative collection of photographs taken and compiled by Robert H. Tucker while he was a student at MIT of his high school career at Poughkeepsie's Arlington High School where he graduated with the class of 1950. Tucker called this album his "own yearbook" and it indeed shares a great deal with conventional yearbook style with humorous captions "A test Oh no!" and attention to a wide range of faculty staff and student activities both in and out of the classroom. Subjects include track meets baseball games cheerleaders teachers at the blackboard students at work in the library a special event including donkey-riding in the gym commencement and other activities. More than mere yearbook however the album reveals Tucker to be a natural photographer with an eye for both composition and POV; his sports shots are especially vibrant often crisply capturing athletes in the midst of the action. A detailed album capturing the dawn of the post-war American teenager. Indeed quintessentially so; we are tempted to call this an almost Platonically ideal example of the high school album. hardcover books
