But as their friendship grew Hawthorne began to see that there was something very different about Calvin. In the end Hawthorne was forced to confront the fact that his friend was a virtual stranger-a man who could never truly understand him.; Folio ; 359 pages; TBC; .

Dora J Bradbury Pinkham
1910-1914 Diary of a Remarkable Mount Holyoke and Columbia Graduate Who Would Make History As Maines First Female State Legislator and Senator
Maine Usa. Fair with no dust jacket. 1910-1914. Hardcover. On offer is the five-year diary of Dora J. Bradbury Pinkham 1891-1941 of Fort Kent Maine. Dora kept this diary while completing her undergraduate degree at Mount Holyoke College graduated 1913 and her Masters degree at Columbia University graduated 1914. Less than a decade after graduation she made political history and became a pioneer for women in politics in the state of Maine see BIO NOTES following the diary description. Doras entries throughout her post-secondary education show her to be devoted to Christ her music sport and expanding her mind. She attends lectures outside of school hours on a range of topics studies incessantly is an available friend and daughter and makes space for her passions for music and sport when possible. She seizes opportunities such as joining the college debate team. It is no wonder she made a political splash a few years later and changed the landscape of Main politics for generations of women to come. Everything Dora writes in her college years offers a window into the woman the Sun Journal would describe in 1923 when she entered the Maine legislature the following way: She has a cheery smile a laughing kind of voice can see a joke and is decidedly human in every way. At the tender age of 18 Dora was already keeping an eye on politics: A Democratic landslide. First Dem. Governor elected in 30 yrs when this Plaisteds father was governor
Sept 13 1910 Dora is referring to the election of Governor Frederick William Plaisted whose father had been governor from 1881-1883. Election day - College vote. Wilson 43 Roosevelt 180 Taft 160
the results of the real election. Wilsons landslide! Took Jennie Lewis to the Senior-Freshman reception. Good time Nov 5 1912. She does a nice job describing student life at Mount Holyoke College. Her time there was focused on academics music rehearsals she played the banjo of all things and was in glee club and performances hockey and Christianity: Rev E. Paddock spoke in chapel on as your day is so shall your strength be. Hate to think I won't see him again for a year or maybe more. English Exam in A. M. .Not so bad. Studied Math in P. M. In little room D. H. Botany in eve. Postcard from Sadie Jan 31 1910. Mountain Day
Miss Bridges invited all her advisees to breakfast
the Holyoke ranges 23 peaks miles Took us over 3
Home at 4: 30
Oct 12 1910. Structure paper back. Favorable criticism for which I was wisely prepared by Miss Lester. Good understanding . Discrimination and rigor of thought . Mission committee meeting at nine. Was able to play hockey today Oct 13 1911. Dora completed her Masters of Arts at Columbia in only one year and she seems to be too busy to keep a diary for much of it. As her career at Columbia ends and her professional life begins she is sure to record it: Went to work! Everybody very nice to me. Lots of nice oldish men there wildly interesting young woman next to me Miss Miladolfsky. Went to work on lowly wages
got so I could turn the crank quite some. Requires too much thought! May 11 1914. Studied an hour and a half and did exam
all over now! Doing proof-reading in the office - very tiring May 21 1914 This diary is a gem. Through it we learn the roots of a brave bold and unique woman who chose to enter politics as a Republican in the early 20th century. Learning about the ambitious hardworking engaged young woman Dora was allows us a window into who she became. This diary is also a precious piece of history for those interested in the earlier days of Mount Holyoke College and Columbia University. DORA JULIA BRADBURY PINKHAM BIO NOTES: Dora J. Bradbury Pinkham was born in New Limerick Maine and raised in Fort Kent. She married Niles Pinkham a lumber industry executive in 1917. Following graduation she briefly taught at Madawaska Training School. A long-time member of the Republican State Committee she ran for state legislature and in 1922 she defeated two-term Democrat William J. Audiber. Pinkham was the first woman to win election to the Maines legislature. Remarkably Pinkham was not only a Republican but also a Yankee Protestant while her district was known to be overwhelmingly Democratic Franco American and Catholic Potholm 2011 p. 115. While she was a one-term member of the legislature she made an impact passing five of six bills she sponsored in the Maine House of Representatives. In 1926 her political star rose higher when she became one of the first two women ever elected to the Maine senate. Following her two terms in the Senate Pinkham served as special secretary to Maine Governor William Tudor Gardiner. She was very active in her community and the state serving as the local Chairman for the Red Cross. There is much information available on Dora Pinkham but this article from the Sun Journal helps the reader to know who Dora was as a person as well as a politician: https: //www.sunjournal.com/2023/01/22/when-dora-pinkham-took-office-as-maines-fir st-woman-lawmaker-a-century-ago-the-journal-predicted-a-lot-more-by-2023/ The diary measures 7.75 inches by 5.0 inches and contains 365 pages. The covers have separated from the spine. The pages are in good condition. Dora writes regularly in 1910 through 1912 her entries becoming more scarce in 1913 and she only writes in May of 2014. The diary is about 65% complete. The handwriting is legible. Overall Fair. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 365 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover

DOREEN C
1936 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF BRITISH MANDATED PALESTINE BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN BY A 16-17 YR. OLD BRITISH GIRL - HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT WITNESS TO THE FIRST ARAB INTIFADA - PALESTINIAN UPRISING TERRORISM AND STRIKE
Jerusalem British Mandated Palestine. Good. 1936. Original Cloth. Evidential to the roots of Middle Eastern terror this is the extraordinary handwritten diary of Miss Doreen M. C. daughter of General and Mrs. J. C. sister of Cynthia. This British family witnesses the very beginnings of the modern era of Middle East tensions and terrorism having been residents of Jerusalem from January 1st to mid-June of 1936. Doreen writes a significant extraordinary insightful and well written diary. A young girl of 16 or 17 we estimate too young for boys - she detests them - and too old for the usual games that girls play paraphrase she writes of her time spent traveling throughout British mandated Palestine recording daily her comings and goings and all that goes on around her. She also does a great job drawing maps and other illustrations. Doreen sums it up in her own hand: in a handwritten copy of a 1963 letter to the famed Leonard Mosley of the Sunday Times found in the book Doreen admits to having in 1936 "a passion for keeping a large diary; I wrote down incidents of the strike riots and daily murders and ambushes like a recording angel!" She is modest. 1936 was a very intense very interesting and very disturbing year - Mussolini advancing against the Abyssinians in Africa Hitler on the rise in Europe Franco tearing apart Spain the King of England dies Edward VIII rises and starts to fall and Palestine is in foment as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem has made a heinous pact with Hitler and called on the arab populous to strike - politically and through armed conflict murdering British soldiers and Jewish civilians and many many of their own people. Doreen is a "recording angel" to all this and more. From January 1st until mid-June she is for the most part based in Jerusalem living first at the King David Hotel before moving to Talbiyeh Colony in Jerusalem. There are very few idle days; many day trips visits shopping and when they move residence on 'Murhurrem' Jerusalem's famed moving days which date changes yearly and her description of the movers and hubbub are a delightful counterpoint to the atrocities she documents. Everyday she fully details her travels around the country and the news/politics of the day - even a trip to the dentist is fraught with danger given the times. Her father was highly placed at Air Headquarters research has found he ends his service a General and OBE recipient with the British Air Department. He meets frequently with generals and 'big bugs' as she calls them. She even admits that he is doing the "hush-hush work". Doreen names many of the British Colony and quite frequently makes comments - Mr. Such and Mr. Other 'complete scoundrels'. Doreen is an information and current events savant. She reads the papers listens to the radio and pumps the transient English men and women who travel throughout the Middle East and North Africa in service of Britain for the inside info and stories. A short wave ham radio operator Doreen diligently records calls and conversations as she reaches out for more news. She can quote to the day a year before when 'Mussy' promised not to go to war. Abyssinia is very important to her. The Italians the Germans and the plight of the Jews under Hitler disturbs her to no end. Many times in her writings she makes mention for example; PC 459 police constable said such and such giving her info which she then reports: "contrary to the newspaper reports" this is what really happened. She coalesced all the info and records the real story as she sees it. Here are just a very few snippets: "Mussolini is the greatest liar on earth. Hitler is number 2. Hitler is "bats" or something for he is daring to order every German Jew youth back to Germany those who have been turned out included for conscription." "I was told a few tales of storm troops that dared not to be published. They may sound a little far fetched but I do believe them as true. Poland is treating the Jews disgustingly." "I don't know what the Arabs have to grumble about.they were only too glad to sell their land to the Jews because they thought them useless and unpaying and were glad.then they saw the Jews making them pay they get wild and demand them back. More Bombs thrown." "Arab watchmen bumped off by the strikers for not stopping work." "When I look at the finely built young Jewish blokes I cannot help wondering what holds them back they could make mince meat out the Arabs. I cannot make sense of the Jews won't retaliate." "Every one of us knew there would be trouble in Acre. Two days ago the Grand Mufti was there he addressed a large crowd and said 'The Jews are doing their best to get us out of Palestine they are killing our brother Arabs and burning our homes' up to date not a single case has occurred of an Arab home being burned but tons of Jews are homeless through arson and looting. He must be stopped." "An Arab tried to blow up a bridge today up near Nazareth and blew himself up by mistake.I expect PC 239 is chasing round finding bits of ears and toes." "Big show at Acre the Jew shot early this morning had been in the police station all night for breaking curfew and had just been released." She asks the page in front of her - how can a child in this world today care about getting married and having children when the world is so full of detestable tyrants seemingly bent on war and chaos So much is happening around her to report she has taped a number of pages of paper to the days that she has run out of space. Doreen pumps her dad for info all the time: he quite pointedly informs Doreen that he 'has specific proof the Italians are funding the Arab uprising.' She adores her father but she rightly disagrees with him at times: 'Father believes the Germans are not a worry. With the way they are spending money re-arming themselves they will be bankrupt in a year or two.' Maybe her father is trying to save her from worry but Doreen is near clairvoyant in comparison. Toward the end of June Doreen her mother and sister Cynthia are off to England and though life in London is different lacking the daily horrors of terror in Palestine Doreen continues detailing her daily life and report on the conflict. Sensational significant historical diary. The book is an indexed monthly journal that she faithfully records at the start of each month the books she has read the trips she has taken. Rarely will one find as diligent as thoughtful as opinionated and as colorful a diarist as this young lady. A number of pieces of ephemera are included with the book as Doreen inserted them - one piece is a copy of a letter she writes in 1965 from her home on the Isle of Wight. Save for a loose hinge and the crack that comes with it this book is in great shape.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY GREAT BRITAIN WORLD WAR I WW I WORLD WAR TWO II GERMANY ITALY JAPAN MIDDLE EAST T.E.
