Four of the letters appear to be retained copies a couple of which are possibly incomplete.Manuscript Papers on Abolition:60 manuscript pp. address on Abolition "Whether the proceedings of the Abolitionists are or are not justifiable was stated by us in the affirmative to depend very much upon the question whether slavery was or was not an evil which ought to be abolished."The piece compares the North and South and it mentions Calhoun and the fact that the South is waking up to the fact that the North was winning this argument in their state legislatures. It appears the talk may have been given to a society or organization as the writer addresses "Mr. President." Not dated but John Calhoun is cited and he died in 1850 thus circa 1830s-1850s. The authorship is unclear but is likely one of the Pitts men either Esek or his son Amos.41 manuscript pp. address on Abolition "There is a proposition while I believe may be safely predicated; and that is that the system of American slavery is either right or wrong. And if so it follows of course that it ought to be either sustained or abolished. If the latter then of course the object which the abolitionists have in view is a good one."Not dated circa 1830s-1850s. The author is likely one of the Pitts men either Esek or his son Amos.6 miscellaneous manuscripts on the subject of Abolition and Slavery 20 manuscript pp. includes 3 items: "Letters to the Editor" pieces meant for publication in the local newspaper Woonsocket Patriot plus 2 other pieces titled "Beauties of South Slavery" numbered 1 & 2 with the subtitle "By their fruits ye shall know them."

South Dakota Photographica: Huffman FamilyABAA

ANNOTATED VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM FEATURING A FARMING FAMILY IN SOUTH DAKOTA WITH PICTURES OF IDENTIFIED NATIVE AMERICANS

1928WRCAM55666Various locations in South Dakota including Pierre and Oahe 1928. 230 photographs mounted on album leaves captioned in white or red ink throughout. Images range from 2 1/2 x 2 inches to 3 1/2 x 5 inches. Oblong octavo. Contemporary black leatherette photograph album string-tied. Minor edge wear. Several leaves detached some photographs wholly or partially removed most in nice condition. Overall good condition. An interesting annotated vernacular photograph album featuring a South Dakota family in the first quarter of the 20th century. Members of the family are variously identified as Anna Beulah and Dwight Huffman aided by a few pages of typed family notes that accompany the album. The album was kept by an unidentified member of the Huffman family who refers to herself in the first person in a few photographs including a group shot of school girls captioned "Domestic Science Class when I was a 'Frosh.'" Comparisons of photographs indicate the author of the captions is probably Anna Huffman. Most of the photographs feature people from multiple generations of the Huffman family in South Dakota including Grandma Benjamin. These men women and children pose in front of houses and on farms on the South Dakota prairie and at various spots in the capital city of Pierre. The family members are captured in a variety of activities common to rural life: feeding livestock killing and cleaning chickens gardening stacking hay camping cutting their own hair extracting a cow from a muddy lake tilling farmland with early motorized tractors and fishing in Lake Oahe. Two photographs feature Robert Benjamin Huffman - one of him while at Illinois State Normal University now Illinois State and one showing him in his World War I uniform. According to the family notes accompanying the album Robert was killed in France on October 1 1918. Several more lighthearted photographs in the album show women laughing and clowning for the camera; one photograph shows a female family member dressed as "the Hawaiian in the school parade." Particularly interesting are the three photographs featuring Native Americans two of them identifying the subjects. The first of these features Mr. and Mrs. Spotted Bear in Oahe S.D. The second shows Mr. and Mrs. Spotted Bear standing with Mr. and Mrs. Tall White Man. The third photograph captures a large group of Native Americans sitting in a wide circle with the caption reading "An Indian Conference Pierre So. Dak." Other landmarks captured here include "The old school house" the "M.E. Church at Pierre So. Dak." the "Old Missouri" River the Red Wing Seminary the "Sorensen Home Oahe So Dak." and the South Dakota State Capitol building. As with other family albums there are also numerous vacation shots with various family members in New York Virginia and Illinois; at some point Beulah and Anna drove from South Dakota to New York for vacation. An interesting collection of annotated vernacular family photographs from the rural American West. hardcover books

Talbot Family Earls of Shrewsbury; Chatillon Charles deABAA

Fifteen Drawings by Charles de Chatillon circ. 1800 Illustrating the Family History of the Talbots Earls of Shrewsbury 1071-1541

1800LD4931c. 1800. Hardcover. Very Good. Half brown cloth and morocco gilt-stamped lettering on spine; oblong Folio; with 15 signed pencil drawings on paper about 315x485 mm each mounted on heavy cardstock with caption handwritten in French in ink in lower margin of mount. Circa 1800 with hand-lettered title-page indicating that this collection was mounted and bound in 1930. Cloth blistered; drawing paper a bit toned with some faint foxing here and there. These extraordinary historical scenes by Chatillon trace the births deaths marriages and battles of the Earls of Shrewsbury from the First Earl John Talbot 1390-1453 an important English military commander during the Hundred Years War to Francis Talbot 1623-1667 the 11th Earl who met his more scandalous end in a duel with the Second Duke of Buckingham. John Talbot distinguished himself for his bravery in battle and is believed to have fought alongside Henry IV in the famous Battle of Shrewsbury 1403 in which King Henry IV defeated a rebel army led by Henry "Hotspur" Percy from Northumberland. The battle serves as the climax for William Shakespeare's "Henry IV Part One" and John Talbot appears with speaking lines in "Henry VI Part One." The Countess of Auvergne remarks of him "Is this the scourge of France / Is this the Talbot so much feared abroad / That with his name the mothers still their babes" The Battle of Shrewsbury is also the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil and archers are featured in the battle scenes illustrated here -- alongside armored horses waving flags the stern expressions of the valiant and the agonized faces of the wounded. The scope and intricacy of these drawings is difficult to capture with language -- no detail is left unrecorded from the coat of arms on a shield to the embroidery on a wedding dress the vaulted arches of a church the sinews of dog the teeth of horse gnashing its bit. A must-see please inquire for images or a complete list of captions. hardcover books

The Angier FamilyABAA

A Collection of Letters to a Neglected Mother

171820000417Utica NY 1817-1832. General wear. Some separation at letter folds and along edges. A collection of six letters between the mother and children of the Angier family originally of Southborough MA. The most consistent part of the letters is opening with an apology from the children for failing to write their mother Elizabeth Angier and how this failure means that they have neglected her in some way. The letters date were generally send from upstate New York from towns near Utica NY such as Whitestone and Frankfort where several of the siblings namely Mary Elizabeth and Sabrina had relocated to. It appears as though one of the older daughters after marrying Augustus Baldwin 1794-1880 in 1815 moved to Whitestone NY to start a family. As the years continued several of Mary's siblings such as Elizabeth and Sabrina who never married moved to the area to for better marriage and job prospects. Two of the six letters are between a pair of the siblings. The letters generally consist of updates on their lives family and friends as well as numerous religious missives and some mention of their jobs mostly teaching that the sisters were engaged in. Additionally in some of the letters the siblings have written missives addressed to their siblings still living in Southborough. All of the letters are folded stampless posts. Measures 5" x 3 1/2" folded. Below are excerpts from some of the letters: "We were presented with a daughter 14th Nov but alas! She is not that joy or comfort we so much hope for we have been called to a bitter trial God in his infinite goodness has seen fit to afflict us in taking our child by death our afflictions are sent to try us and oh that they mite sic prove a blessing to us that we mite sic feel reconciled under all the alotments sic of divine providence in submission to his will and that we might in full submission say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and blessed be the name of the Lord." - February 2 1817 Whitestone NY from Augustus and Mary Baldwin to Mary's mother Elizabeth Angier "Aunt Haven has been sick since she returned from Boston with the nervous tooth ache. She had her tooth pulled and it broke a nerve and it had such an effect on her that it obliterated the whole of the nervous system so that she was not able to do her work for six weeks but she has got to be quite well now. Mr. Laban Nicholas wife Mr. Lees sister the one that was down when Mary went up the first time is deranged. She tries every way to kill herself. She once took her husbands razor and attempted to cut throat but was caught before she had completed the fatal deed. Twice her husband has found her with a rope around her neck and once got to her only soon enough to catch her in his arms as she leap sic from the scaffold one half minute longer and she would have been an eternity." - June 13 1818 Whitestone NY from Eliza Angier to her mother Elizabeth Angier. "I hope that he who has upheld you thus far in life will still hold you in the hollow of his hand lest at any time your feet should stray from the path of virtue and rectitude. And may he find your heart fast to him that when in health you may be an able to render to him according to his benefit. I am rejoiced to hear that there is any attention to the one thing needful with you. Oh that there may be many praying souls in that place and may we realize that we have an interest in your prayers. It would give a pang to any Christian to realize the state of this church and society. Religion is trampled upon like hearts cast before swine. we have reason to fear that wrath of an offended God is kindled against us and that he will come upon us with great judgment if we continue in this stupid state. Afflictions in themselves are courteous and I am not as an able to bear them as anyone. Yet they are sent for our good to restore are wandering feet. I would choose to be afflicted rather than remain in this Im feeling state. More the treacherous calm I dread then tempest bursting over my head. - August 3 1825 Frankfort NY Eliza Angier Warriner to her siblings Roland Angier and his wife Mary Marsh 1803-1866 "Eliza has become the mother of twins both daughters one we call Cordelia Eliza the other Frances Beattie they were born 20 April the life of the mother was disposed for sometime. We had two of the best nurses one was Sabrina besides all the assistance that I could render. Eliza is now so that she is just about taking care of the babes but not able to do much she is afflicted with the canker in her throat and stomach which keeps her and the babes in continual afflictions." - June 25 1830 Frankfort Alford and Eliza Angier Warriner to Eliza's mother Elizabeth Angier "The anniversary of my birthday which is tomorrow reminds me of my obligations to you the kindest and best of mothers who under God have been instrumental in preserving my life that I am so far from you as not to visit you often when I think that six years have rolled away since I saw you I am really astonished! And now that I have left my brothers and sisters is misterous sic To myself but for not writing to you I can offer no reasonable excuse I must played guilty this pleasant evening the moon with her bright Waze conveys my thoughts to my native home . I find many pleasant people here but in my dreams I visit Southborough inhabitants could I but you know where my mother is and what her enjoyment is in the decline of life it would relieve my anxiety. we had a very pleasant journey here we started from Utica July 30 in a canal boat in the front cabin 13 and number moving at the rate of 5 miles an hour able to read right net and sell. Mr. Simmons spent his time writing and reading his sermons which was very interesting to us when we got to Troy Thursday we had to lay up a few hours on account of the water for a kind a machine called the mud turtle which was scraping the mud from the river before we could cross the way to Albany then went on board a steamboat to New York saw a great many of the works of nature and a part then a coach convey the family to the New York shore then in a steamboat to Newark." - October 3 1832 Newark NJ Sabrina Angier to her mother Elizabeth Angier To view images click: https://photos.app.goo.gl/8yiDE57vHQQXnc7R7 Elizabeth Newton was born on April 30 1763 to Solomon Newton 1734-1830 and Elizabeth Howe 1733-1818 in Southborough MA.
