1864–1871 Letters from the Young Ladies of the Prominent Rhode Island Hazard Family

1871List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843â€“1877 Anna Peace 1845â€“1868 and Esther Robinson 1848â€“d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1 The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the â€˜Friends Schoolâ€™ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewisâ€™s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis: â€œDr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewisâ€™ â€˜Movement Curesâ€™ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.â€ November 23 1864 Meanwhile Anna and Estherâ€™s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes: â€œWe have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I donâ€™t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.â€ January 8 1865 Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girlsâ€™ father Thomas Hazard 1797â€“1886 connects the familyâ€™s â€œstrong religious tendenciesâ€ to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that â€œPa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectlyâ€ February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia: â€œYesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her â€“ we are going again on Monday.â€ February 8 1867 That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854. Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers. 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635â€“1894 Printed for the Author 1896. 2 Thomas R.

ABRAHAM CALDWELL and FAMILYBiblio.com

1867 - 1900 ARCHIVE OF FIVE 5 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARIES BELONGING TO THE ABRAHAM CALDWELL FAMILY OF IPSWICH MASSACHUSETTS

1867000793IPSWICH MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1867. On offer are five handwritten manuscript journals all having belonged to the Caldwell family who lived in Massachusetts one of the diaries 1870 has the name Ezra S. Vieyes written in it. A casual reading does not determine where Ezra fits in with the Caldwell family but a more detailed reading will hopefully flesh out the relationship. Two of the diaries have the name of the family scion being Abraham Caldwell of Ipswich Massachusetts. Other towns mentioned include Westminster Fitchburg Northborough and Worcester. The diaries represent the years 1867 full of entries 1870 a quarter full 1875 a half filled 1887 fully written and the 1890's. Though not all fully written and the entries suggest illiterate writers these diaries represent a true piece of Americana with a treasure trove of local historical detail and genealogical information. For the medical collector there is an interesting thread running throughout - Mr. Caldwell is quite aged and he catalogues his daily ailments certainly a medical professional may assess his health from his writings. Here are some snippets: 1867 - "February 26th Went to examination. Lizzie Rawson teach good." "March 4th Went to town meeting. Another trial of Shemp decided as it should be." "May 10th Surveyed road to town distance of about 2 ¾ miles 15 ft." "June 17th Golden wedding 75-100 people persons present." "September 13th Took Templers Degrees. Went to town to lecture. Carried B.M. Balch." "October 13th On euqaduct to town meeting for roads. Was chosen on committee." 1887 "January 9th 7 Below. Very cold. Snow flakes flying all day. Ben out very little today. Louitah Lord little more comfortable but very sick." "February 9th Sick all day. From Salem paper I see Mr. Joseph Pusfer died in Salem Oct. 19th 1886. Born July 18th 1798." "March 14th Today I hav made a grait mistak in being two positive when in fact I was rong. My mind is faking me." "June 22nd and 23rd Stage coach below belonged to Appleton farm. Boiled out sink cess pool very hard job. Had nummness in my arm and shoulder. Stage coach passed to day for Salem." "July 25th Hot and sultry. A young lady came to Mrs. Batysons. Sang for House Benefit." "August 9th Went marsh with North Harris and Negro. Went to Beverly. Stayed at Edwards over night." "August 21st Fine and pleasant. John Billy's mother and sister here. Conrad G to made round Cape Ann." "October 6th Tryed to make some wine. Caried my grapes to Capt. Wilcomb and he pressed them for me." "October 19th Finished pounding the beans then went to Georgetown. Went in to Noisas Shoe factory. Was kindly received and shown from basement up. Felt interest and enjoyed it muh." "December 14th Very warm and Pleasant. Went over to south side river to Mrs. Dolls with Edy B. Escamined his stock." "December 16th Cooler. Gave notice to Mrs. Campbell that I should want the tenement she now ocupies for my own use the first of April next." "December 19th Mrs. Smith at the Invenational House left and fell and broke both arms. Slippery this morn. Bought turkey of Perkins." The 1893-1900 journal in the lot is a handwritten financial journal which has about 100 pages of expense type entries. I believe most of the entries have to do with rentals and money collected for the rentals. This journal has the name John Caldwell written on the inside. The front cover has fallen off of this journal and some of the pages are torn. The first 20 pages have also been torn out and are not accounted for.

WILLIAM TUDOR & FamilyBiblio.com

1872 - 1915 HANDWRITTEN ARCHIVE OF A PROSPEROUS INDUSTRIALIST'S TRAVELING FAMILY FROM BOSTON AND PLENTY OF INTRIGUE

1872000877Boston Massachusetts MA 1872. On offer is a remarkable very intriguing grouping of handwritten letters drawings and covers from the William Tudor family of Boston Massachusetts. There are twelve 12 letters with their envelopes the five letters are from 1872 and 1873 when William was in Paris to marry his wife Elizabeth Whitwell three empty covers and two slips of paper with drawings. The letters date from 1873-1915 and curiously one last letter from 1961. The drawings don't have dates but look like late 1800's. The three remaining empty envelopes are from 1879 1894 and one has no date. William Tudor was born to Frederic "The Ice King" Tudor and Euphemia Fenno Tudor on September 27 1848. He was the fourth of six children. He attended Harvard University and graduated in 1871. He married Elizabeth Whitwell b. 1851 daughter of William Scollay Whitwell and Mary Hubbard in Paris France on May 24 1873. Together they had five children: Henry Dubois William Elizabeth Delia Aimee and Mary. William Tudor had an intense interest in his own genealogy and collected information on his Tudor ancestry. In 1896 he edited and published the diary of his great-great-grandfather Deacon John Tudor as Deacon Tudor's Diary. His primary occupation however was investing in mines. He served on the Boards of Trustees of many of the mining companies he invested in and held positions as an officer in many of them. In 1908 Tudor became the treasurer of the Salida Copper Company in which he held a very large share. In July 1909 Salida Copper Company bought out Sedalia Copper Company. In October Tudor traveled to Salida Colorado to inspect the companies' mines. In 1910 the Mountain Mining Company a spin-off of the Salida Copper Company was formed and in January 1911 Tudor became its president. In 1913 Tudor became treasurer of the Shawmut Consolidated Copper Company. Although Tudor owned homes in Hancock New Hampshire and Auburndale Massachusetts his primary business address was the St. Botolph Club in Boston. He did a great deal of traveling inspecting mines in Juneau Alaska and Salida Colorado and he was married and had his first child in Paris France. He painted for relaxation. William Tudor died in 1923. There is a lot of extraordinary content; one written by William Sturgis Bigelow a famous collector and historian of Japanese culture writes of mediums and speaking to the dead: "My Dear Mrs. Tudor Katy told me a little of your late adventures. Will you pardon a friendly suggestion You had better let the whole thing alone for a while. Put it out of your mind as if you had never heard of it. You cannot find out by seeing such things how and why they exist. .The forms of people you saw are not the real people but reflections from the minds of the spectators or mediumsJust how they "Materialize" you would not now understand if you were told. It would be harmless enough apart from the excitement incidental to "seeing ghosts" if the medium were a person so good and pure as yourself. But she is not as you can see by the class of "spirits" especially connected with her. The last thing for you to do would be to establish a connection with such entities.But at any rate put the whole thing out of your head for a while. And when you feel quieter let me know. It is just possible I may be able to help you a little.Keep this letter to yourself W. S. Bigelow." Another letter in which William is writing to his wife and it date April 25th 1893. He's writing from Jacksonville Florida on "Everett Hotel" letterhead. Says he's having a difficult time with the railroad people and says he doesn't mind Florida too much but prefers a small French village." There are also letters written to Bessie from her father and mother after her marriage to William. Here is a delightful example: My Dear baby Bessie A good big baby but my baby stillYour life seems full of excitement and events compared to ours. Nothing can be quieter if rest is to make me well. I ought soon to be in perfect health. The bathing is the main event of the day and you would enjoy it very much. The water is not very cold and the more pleasant for swimmers. I have been sorry to be obliged to give it up these few past days on account of severe head ache which I thought the bathing increased but they are better now.There are some fine views in the neighborhood but it is a hard climb to reach them. Last evening May and I walked to the top of a high hill where there is a large private house with extensive grounds magnificently situated commanding a view far out to seaThe owner of the house is proud to show our little room with it's fine sea view it balcony its unpainted shell lac'd wooden furniture and little bright rugs on the bare floor is very comfortable and pretty. Leoni our devoted femme de chambre he's brought us a large bunch of flowersYou see what quiet lives we lead. Always your loving mother that you know if nothing else." Her mother is not in very good health and has decided to take on the healing waters of the European spas and bathhouses. Bessie and William are still in France one assumes on their honeymoon or perhaps William is working because some are addressed "in care of Monroe & Co. Paris France." Each letter is packed with interesting content from this eclectic family. They are all in a variety of conditions from Fair to VG. . Autograph. Good. 8 x 11 Inches Approx. hardcover

From wikipedia: John Calvin Coolidge Sr. March 31 1845 – March 18 1926 was an American politician and businessman from Vermont and the father of Calvin Coolidge the 30th president of the United States. The senior Coolidge administered the presidential oath of office to his son at their family homestead in the early morning hours of August 3 1923 following the death of President Warren G. Harding. Born in Plymouth Vermont John C. Coolidge was a farmer and store owner and worked at a variety of other occupations including banker and insurance broker. In addition he was a veteran of the Vermont militia and held the law enforcement posts of town constable and county deputy sheriff. A prominent local leader he served in numerous Plymouth town offices and was elected to terms in both the Vermont House of Representatives and Vermont Senate. John C. Coolidge remained active in his farming and business interests until his death in Plymouth in 1926; he was buried in Plymouth Notch at a village cemetery where several generations of his family are also buried. From geni dot com: Victoria was a neighbor of John Coolidge in Plymouth. She attended Black River Academy for one year. She married John Coolidge and set up housekeeping in the cramped quarters behind the village store that her husband ran. She was a consumptive and became soon after her marriage a chronic invalid. Calvin Coolidge in his Autobiography is poetic in describing his mother. He describes her death "When she knew that her end was near she called us children to her bedside where we knelt down to receive her final parting blessing. In an hour she was gone. It was her thirty-ninth birthday. I was twelve years old. We laid her away in the blustering snows of March. The greatest grief that can come to a boy came to me. Life was never to seem the same again." Calvin carries his mother's picture with him the rest of his life. n.p. unknown

HELEN WOOD & FAMILYBiblio.com

1876 ARCHIVE OF FIFTEEN 15 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT LETTERS BETWEEN WOOD FAMILY MEMBERS IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK HANOVER NEW HAMPSHIRE AND ST. JOHNSBURY VERMONT

1876000835ST. JOHNSBURY VERMONT VT. Good. 1876. On offer is an archive of handwritten manuscript letters that belonged to Helen Wood of St. Johnsbury Vermont. The letters which date circa 1876 - 1888 interestingly are both to and from Helen. In all there are 15 letters and 7 of those still have their envelopes. Then there are 9 empty covers. These letters will be of particular interest to historians of the era as the correspondents were detailed in their writings. One letter written to Helen by a friend living in Brooklyn New York dated 1887 relates over 4 pages a fascinating account of the way Brooklyn is changing especially 5th avenue. Here are some snippets: "N.H. College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts Letterhead Hanover N.H. March 7th 1886 Dear Sister I received a letter from you last Tuesday. I do not feel much older than I did last year. We had some rough weather here a little less than a week ago and since Harvey was away I was very busy keeping Culver Hall and myself warm. It was so cold here in my room that both radiators were frozen up a large part of the time. It was pretty cold boarding myself those days or in fact doing anything. It is quite comfortable now however and my ink etc. is thawed out.Sincerely Yours George P. Wood." "St. Johsbury Vt. March 20th 1886 Dear Folks It is almost eight o'clock and I am just up. My sleep was disturbed in the night and I woke up about four and heard a queer kind of noise under my window. It sounded some like some one crying fire then like two or three men fighting and then I happened to remember that the freshman class from Hanover had their class supper at one at one of the Hotels last night. It must have been lots of fun to run round this building in a snowstorm at that time of day. After they got round they sang two or three songs gave two or three war whoops and tore themselves away. Judging from their songs they hated to leave usLove to all Mary K.Wood." "New York May 11th 1887 Dear Helen Many thanks for your good letter and the beautiful collection of early flowers from the Old Lebanon Hills. They reached here safely though somewhat wilted from the close confinement and the loss of their pure mountain air. They embellished the mantle piece of the dining room for several days. While we all took several refreshing whiffs as we passed byIf you were to take a ride down 5th avenue you would not know the place. On the East Side there is but 1 block but what is either filled up or has been commenced upon. Even the old Polhemus Mansion cor. 5th Ave. and Carrol St. on that high bluff has been torn down and the Hill graded down and now covered with brick buildings mostly flats 4 stories high with stores underneath. Flat old Mansions on 1st & _______streets with all those beautiful shade trees in front have fallen victim to the march of improvement. The old house has been moved down to 3rd Ave. and converted into a Tenement House. "How art thou Fallen" The entire block is either covered with dwellings mostly 2 story and basements or cellars.South of 7th St. every vacant lot is being filled up. Across the street from us they are putting up 6.3. stores and basement houses. Above 6th Ave. below the Episcopal Church there are 5 more going up. So it is all about us 5th 6th 7th & 8th Aves.Saw the account of your disastrous fire in the evening papers with more particulars this morning.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN OF THE MINER FAMILY [?]Biblio.com

1878 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THE HARD LIFE OF A YOUNG RURAL WASHERWOMAN AND THE HARDER BURDEN OF GRIEF SHE CARRIES

18780001257COLERAINE MASSACHUSETTS MASS MA. Very Good. 1878. On offer is an original manuscript diary handwritten by a young woman who with her pencil and her words paints a picture of toil and hardship. Dated Coleraine in Franklin County Massachusetts near Greenfield and Deerfield River which are frequently mentioned collectors and researchers of the area will delight in the specific and detailed genealogical information as our author does a superb job in her entries. A casual reading suggests this woman is married to the 27 year old Charlie and they are part of the Miner 'clan' with mention of many many Miners in their daily life. A washerwoman for the most part everyday she says whose sheets whose pillowcase whose other articles are washed along with her own family's duties food preparation travels to church visitors who frequently stay over and other domestic chores the reader will wonder at her strength and her grit. Throughout the 5 x 4.5 inch 'chunk' of what was obviously a larger note pad roughly cut in half she writes clearly in tight script a gem of Massachusetts Americana. She mentions many dozens of names including: Uncle Wash Frankie Jerre N. and D. Brown Elder Whittaker Miss Rug Willie Richardson Baldwin Miner his singing school Carrie and Marilla Shearer Payson Flagg Charlie Miner. Sam Miner 'his whole conversation show him to be a true Christian whom it always gives me pleasure to find' Ed Coombs Atta Barber Clarence Brigham Charlie Denison.

FEGAN FAMILY [JOHN FEGAN, DANIEL B FEGAN, JOHN R FEGAN, JOSEPH G CATHERINE]Biblio.com

1880 - 1895 HANDWRITTEN LEDGER BOOK OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PERSONAL AND BUSINESS EXPENSES AND BILLS OF THE PATRIARCH OF A FAMILY OF STONE MASONS IN SMALL TOWN IOWA

18800009056LYONS CLINTON IOWA IA. Good. 1880. On offer is the personal home and business accounting log book of a man John Fegan patriarch of a family Masonry company living in Lyons Iowa from 1880 all the way to 1895. The book is a fascinating mix of both professional and personal expenses over the years. This is a fascinating piece of history. At the beginning of the book January 5th 1880 Daniel Fegan is employed seemingly as a Mason by the Clinton & Lyons Horse Railway Company. The accounts of 1880 and 1881 are included almost exclusively on the first 8 pages. On these pages under the entries for 1880 and 1881 are entries for 1885 and 1886 as well. Later in the book around page 31 there are a number of pages devoted to the living expenses for 1880 written down. Jan 5th - To 1 bottle of ink and 5 pens - $.15; 6th - To Tobacco and cigars - $.60; 7th - To candies and nuts - $.40.9th - To 12 photographs part pay - $2.00. These living expenses continue throughout the entire year. It can be inferred that by 1885 Fegan has his own masonry company though it is possible he already had this company in 1880 and 81 and just contracted out to the Clinton & Lyons Horse Railway Co. September 25th 1885. Charles Phillips Sr. 4 1/2 days masoning at $2.30 per day - $11.25. His accounts for 1885 and 1886 show much more detail the entries of 1880/1881 and show quite a bit of complexity in the costs incurred and bills charged. As well they show the personal expenses that Fegan occurred as well. August 1885. The Bill or Cost of Building a porch on west side of the house. For all kinds of lumber - $18.00; For Mr. Boid for Carpenter work - $11.00; David Mitty for spouting - $6.34; Nails and paints of Snider - $6.00; John Anthony for a Load of Stone - $1.25. There are also entries under the titles Money paid out for housekeeping and living expenses account of Money Layed out for the House and Money Layed out for the use of House. It can be seen from these passages that the patriarch of the family was Daniel D. Fegan and that he had his three sons Joseph G. John R. and Daniel B. Fegan working for him. There is a page with the title John Fegan Money earned myself seemingly showing that the ledger would have been used by more than just one person at a time not just the father. In the pages solely devoted to 1886 the ledger book contains mostly living expenses such as Tobacco salt soap ivory 1/2 bushel of apples butter as well as others such as Paid for Clinton County Album church collection and Goose for Thanksgiving. For each day of the year the expenses are written on one or two lines. There are also pages titled Money Received of the Boys which pays opposite each name showing the money that each son paid to their father and mother usually $10 and $5 respectively. This might imply that the boys were somewhat independent contractors and paid their father and mother a monthly fee. The father John Fegan is very methodical throughout even writing down the expenses that his children occurred through buying him presents on his 70th birthday. These presents included a small handkerchief - $.10 2 pair socks $.20 each and a neck bough - $.25. For the years of 1890 and onwards there are no expenses related to the costs of the family business in the ledger. By this time its assumed that the ledger has become solely for personal expenses for the father John Fegan. One of his children most probably took over the company business ledger book possibly the oldest child Daniel B. The latest entry is for April 1st 1895. John Fegan would die later that month. Though this is the latest entry it is not the end of the book. However the entries that follow are few and far between. On the 77th page there is an attempt to use the book as a diary though only two days are recorded. October 18th 1880. The wind was blowing very hard Saturday and turned cold and we had a little freeze but it is very pleasant today. December 17th 1880. It has been snowing this morning but has slowed up some at 11 Oclock a.m. There are also a number of pages under the title Rent paid each month that begins in 1903 and go until 1907. The though the author of this section is unknown. It could be one of the children. The rent goes to Rands House Corner 3rd & Exchange. Beginning on page 132 there are a number of pages that begin in 1895 of the living expenses of Catherine Fegan the late John Fegans wife. The pages show her living expenses as well as the money received from her children. It lasts only a couple pages. There are a few diary entries from 1886 on a page as well as many other pages of notes and expenses and some calculations. The entries stop after around page 150. The book is in fair shape. Both front and back cover detached as well as a number of pages on the inside. The writing inside is very legible and clear and is in great shape.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF FEGAN FAMILY JOHN FEGAN DANIEL B.

Was so refined well educated a polished gentleman. Political disturbances was the origin of his death. He was editor of the People's Advocate published weekly at this place and had said something in the editorials that offended a young man 22 years old who walked up to him in the square and demanded a private interview which Dr. Carter refused.

Sturdivant son of ex-Probate Judge Sturdivant Saturday night. Carter had been making some severe strictures on Judge Sturdivant in his paper about which young Sturdevant called to see him yesterday. unknown

At one point he lived in Newton PA and he settled to raise his family in Dalton PA. Walter worked as a dairy farmer in Lackawanna County and sold seeds for C. W. Stuart & Co. Nurserymen. He was married to Minnie Louise Corey Cole. Together they had two sons George and Willis. Minnie died in 1920 at age 52 of breast cancer and Walter died at the age of 83 after a long battle with myocarditis. While Walter and his immediate family live in Lackawanna County PA his extended family lives in Ortonville Big Stone Minnesota and surrounding areas. In 1886 at age 21 Walter visits his Minnesota family. The first six letters center around this trip. He is urged to visit by cousin A. O. Bailey to visit before its too late: Stick to it Walter and come west before you settle down. Come west before you get married because if you get married before you come here there will be no hopes for you then Dec 1884-Jan 1884 Cousin A. O.

The Boldrey Family Of IndianaBiblio.com

1890s Delightful Indiana Childs Autograph Book Absolutely Brimming with Loving Messages Poems and Phrases

18900011056Aurora Indiana. Fair with no dust jacket. 1890s. Hardcover. On offer is an interesting and genuinely adorable autograph book dating from the 1890s in Indiana United States. The diary was a gift to a young girl named Jennie Boldrey from Santa in 1892. From context we can determine that she lived in Indiana likely in or near the community of Aurora just west of Cincinnati Ohio. Although the book was given to her in 1892 it appears to have been used not by Jennie but by young Anna Annie Boldrey in the later 1890s. Our informal research has not been able to identify any additional biographical information on the two girls. The album's pages are full of loving messages and best wishes for Annie from family and friends. Some pages are adorned with stickers or pictures cut out and pasted to the page such as flowers or birds. Some examples of the handwritten messages Annie collected in her special album: My Dear Daughter AnnieMay your road be long and and the end be far out of sight face it bravely strong and mery. Trust in God and do the right. Your mother Abbie Boldrey Aurora Ind April 1st 1897. Dear Cousin AnnieWhen far off in distant land/You see the writing of my hand/My face you cannot see/Remember it was May who wrote these lines for theeYour Cousin May Rollenberger June 15 1901. When the golden sun is setting and your mind from care is free/When of absent friends your thinking will you think of me Your Uncle John W. Boldrey Summan Ind Apr 25 1897. This autograph book while simple helps us to reflect on the timelessness of the child's passion for collecting children's need to feel loved and validated and the familial love that knows not the bounds of time. For a genealogist this is an excellent resource for tracing family relationships in Indiana at the end of the 19th century. This slim album measures 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and contains 42 pages. It is 100% complete. The cover is in fair condition. It shows many wear marks and the exterior of the spine is torn in places. The binding has broken and many of the pages are loose. The pages are in fair condition with wear marks around each edge. The handwriting is legible. ; Autograph; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 42 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover

18970002448WETUMPKA ECLECTIC MOBILE ALABAMA AL. Good. 1897. On offer is a super modest archive of manuscript letters ledger/invoice sheets and poetry relating to the Howle family of Wetumpka Alabama. The small but fascinating group is an interesting peek at life in rural Alabama from the late part of the 19th Century to early in the 20th. All told there are five letters: three postmarked Eclectic Alabama 1897 - 1898 to Mr. Howle one from Mobile 1910 to Mrs. Howle from her sister and the fifth letter Oct. 1901 being a forlorn multipage letter from a bereft Mrs. Howle to her husband in El Paso. She is incredibly lonely and wonders why her husband can enjoy El Paso but refuses to let her to join him as she will not have fun. There is a rather interesting undercurrent in her beseeching tone that Women's Studies students might find of interest running between the lines. There is a 4 page handwritten invoice for many many items written out on a Howle Brothers store printed billhead. It is dated 1918. There are two multi-page manuscript "love" poems or "courting" poems found with the Howle papers. One of them is signed we believe with the initials: St. B. Perhaps these were sent to a Howle daughter as one is addressed "Miss". Then there is a single page pencil genealogy table beginning with Colonel Thomas Marshall family noted as Grandmother's Father whose biography was as noted in pencil written by Senator Aldrich this note is confused as the Senator was named Albert Beveridge.

Spear FamilyBiblio.com

1930 Photograph Album and Extensive Handwritten Commentary of the Spear Familys Incredible Road Trip Across the United States of America and Niagara Falls Canada

19300010290Yellowstone National Park United States Niagara Falls. Good with no dust jacket. 1930. Hardcover. On offer is a beautiful richly-decorated Yellowstone Park leather photo album portraying the Spear familys 1930 family trip intertwined with photographs of scenes for a long-past American west. The unknown author/photographer of this album accompanied her parents on a road trip from their home across the United States to the Rocky Mountains and back. They also took a side-trip to Niagara Falls in Canada. From context we can determine that it is a young woman who is traveling with her parents. The family surname is Spear and context suggests that they likely lived in Rhode Island. The album opens with two pages from a tourist publication broadsheet. These two pages carry a full map of the continental United States and illustrate the main highways crisscrossing the country. On one page she lists in order the states that they passed through. The pages are full of black and white photographs many showing a warm sepia tone. They depict individual family members they visited on their journey and scenes from places visited. Some photographs capture landscapes others interesting historical sites and still others some of the fascinating characters they encountered on their travels. For example there are two pictures of a stage coach accompanied with a full description: This coach was one of the first to carry the mail in Montana. Service then from Helena to Bozeman being over a week while now over the railroad it is four times a day. This coach was captured by the Indians in 1877 and recaptured after a hot pursuit by General Howard. P. S. Grandma Spear and dad then 9 years old took a trip in a similar coach from Helena to Great Falls a day trip 1885. Two pictures depict the Gordon Stockade. The Gordon Stockade now a National Historic Site was a temporary fort for 28 illegal gold miners in 1874. With a colourful history the fort which took 6 weeks to build was demolished in 2004 to make way for a reconstruction which took 6 years to complete. Her photographs show the aspects of the original fort along with a written explanation of its history. Another picture is of Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone National Park. Todays modern highway is shown as it was in 1930 a rutted dirt road. For a historian this is a superb pictorial record of life across America before WWII. It offers a wonderful look at a world now long gone. Of particular interest is the cover. This photo album was produced for the Yellowstone Park area and is imprinted with a colourful wildlife scene accompanied by a poem entitled Where The West Begins. This album measures 7 inches by 10.75 inches. It contains 50 pages and is 100% complete. The cover is a soft leather in 2 shades. The main part is a medium brown with a rich dark leather accent on the spine. The binding consists of 2 leather laces. The pages are black with extensive notations in white ink. The pages show some wear along the edges and the leather has a soft texture. The handwriting is legible. ; Photograph; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 50 pages . hardcover
