GEOFFREY BROWNE
1915 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN TRAVELOGUE OF A JOURNEY FROM LIVERPOOL TO BUENOS AIRES BY AN OBSERVANT AND CLEVER ENGLISHMAN IN THE DANGEROUS VOLATILE EARLY YEARS OF WORLD WAR 1
LIVERPOOL ENGLAND UK BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA. Good. 1915. On offer is a fascinating diary of a trip taken from Liverpool to Buenos Aires and back taken during the first year of World War 1. The book begins a day before Mr. George Browne the author of the diary who is seemingly a slaughterhouse owner or successful meat salesman sails for Argentina. The front cover contains the words: A Diary of a trip from Liverpool to B.A. and back. Geoffrey Browne. 1.8.15. 23.9.15. He mentions the boat he is sailing on is the passenger-cargo steam vessel the El Uruguayo. She is a big Square sturdily built boat with one large black squat funnel. Crew 100 passengers 12. A tastily decorated saloon and smoking room with wainscoting. My cabin is on the starboard side and is a deck cabin on the main deck. It is owned by the British and Argentine Steam Navigation Company Ltd and also has a number of guns for defense. He sails for Argentina beginning on August 1st 1915 and his voyage ends more than a month and a half later on September 23 1915. On the trip he mentions the people he meets: a doctor A Spaniard but he doesnt speak English and many others. Wednesday the 4th. Glorious day. Sky blue sea blue black and clear. Woke up and had a bath shaved and dressed and so to breakfast. Stayed for a bit after breakfast and read the Marconi news which was good. We had a pow-wow about the 4.7 gun and its shell also a long talk with the gunner who had been on board one of the four captured German submarines in Portsmouth Harbour. He says they are magnificent boats and now fully Commissioned in our service.Boats are rare now. We saw one high before and after and with one funnel well down on the Starboard Horizon.312 miles yesterday the sea being so calm. Browne also includes descriptions of discussions he has with fellow passengers and crewmen including a long description of a discussion about theology with the chief engineer of the boat. His entries on the way to Buenos Aires consist of mostly his daily activities and observations and occasional descriptions of discussions had. There are also occasional spots of war news from other ships that pass. Thursday. We saw another boat today probably one of the Lamport and Holts. She was Homeward Bound. Of course there is no news. Im rather anxious to hear about war so close to bound up does one get with great events.; In the morning there was excitement. Several of the officers and crew saw a number of whales and a killer. All the passengers were on deck and the others were so sure we couldnt possibly miss them that they did not tell us consequently we saw none of them. They reach Buenos Aires. When I woke I found that we were anchored. I dressed and got up. The wind was strong and very cold and all about was shipping. Browne describes the port officials he sees: All the officials smelt strongly of scent. One of them had fair long hair and a vacant face; his tie was an extremely light green his waistcoat was white with spots and he was adorned profusely with gold chains. For a couple pages Browne writes a few sentences each describing his fellow passengers. These passengers include a Mr. and Mrs. Dalton a Mr. and Mrs. and baby Summers Mrs. Williams and Thelma and a couple of others. After these pages of descriptions Browne writes of his observations of Buenos Aires with Continental store facades and arcades; methodically arranged streets and foreign looking men and women. Browne spends a number of days in Buenos Aires exploring and seeing the sights it has to offer. He even writes of a tram collision he sees and a large cattle market in the city. He mentions walking through Palermo Park the neighborhood of Florida having lunch at the Jockey Club and comments quite often on how European the city looks in his eyes. He also takes a trip to Campana Argentina remarking on the land and people he sees as rides a train through the countryside. In Compana Browne visits a slaughterhouse and writes a description of the place noting the various rooms and buildings that comprise the meat works. He also travels briefly to La Plata noting its fine buildings and that its streets are fine and broad and the main playa is very pleasant. From La Plata Browne and the other passengers leave to return home going down the La Plata river towards open water. Going down the Rio de La Plata Browne notices the lights of Montevideo the capital of Uruguay. All day we sailed down the Plata and might saw us off the bright twinkling lights of Monte Video. From Montevideo the ship enters the South Atlantic and makes towards Tenerife Island owned by Spain. The trip is fairly uneventful however the influence of a major World War is present: We are well out to the eastward for we have been warned by the Admiralty of German Submarines operating or about to operate from the Brazilian coast in company with travelers of which we are told to beware. They are not attacked on the way back. As the ship approaches Tenerife there is a gun drill that happens. We fire a shot when passed Tenerife to show that all is in working order before we meet a submarine. As they continue onwards Browne makes note that lunch followed and with it lime juice. According to the Board of Trade regulation every boat when ten days out of port has to supply the crew with lime-juice - and can fine anyone who refuses it - to prevent scurvy. During this time Browne also makes note of the Marconi Radio still a very notable and fascinating invention. At the time radio was still in its infancy and Browne is obviously quite impressed with the communication skills of the Marconi even noting that one night the Marconi heard the Eiffel Tower. referencing that the Eiffel Tower was being used as radio transmitter for the duration of World War I. The ship reaches Tenerife and Browne goes ashoregetting his hair cut and also providing a magnificent description of the island as he left the port. Finally as they come closer and closer to England there is a strong warning against German submarines after they pass the parallel of St. Vincent and enter the danger zone. We have as good a chance as any other boat perhaps better since we are armed; the whole thing is like a game of cards pure luck. Browne notes that all watches are doubled while they are travelling through this very dangerous part of the ocean close to England but not there yet. The boat is not attacked and it reaches the Bristol Channel safely anchoring in Cardiff. From Cardiff Browne departs the boat takes a train to London and then finally a train back home to Liverpool. The book is in good condition. It is 166 pages in length of which all have writing and which all but the very last pages are numbered. The book has a marbled cover with quarter leather binding of which much of it has peeled off the spine. Browne writes in pencil but there is little smudging and throughout the book his handwriting is clear and legible.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GEOFFREY BROWNE LIVERPOOL ENGLAND UNITED KINGDOM BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA WORLD WAR I ERA WW1 NAUTICAL MARINE WWI WW1 WORLD WAR ONE AT SEA ABOARD SHIP EL URUGUAYO SCREW STEAMER BRITISH AND ARGENTINE STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY STEAMER SHIP TRAVEL PALERMO PARK RIO DE LA PLATA MONTEVIDEO MARCONI RADIO EARLY DAYS OF RADIO TENERIFE GERMAN SUBMARINE WATCH ATLANTIC DANGER ZONE BRITANNICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

GEORGE A KIMBALL
1876 1878 1880 ORIGINAL GROUP OF THREE 3 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HAND WRITTEN BY A CITY ENGINEER BUILDING ABOVE AND BELOW THE GROUND IN THE HISTORIC CITY JUST NORTH OF BOSTON KNOWN AS THE 'CHICAGO OF NEW ENGLAND'
SOMMERVILLE MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1876. On offer are a group of three 3 original detailed manuscript diaries handwritten by the City Engineer of what was known as the Chicago of New England. The diaries were written in 1876 1878 and 1880. In 1876 George Kimball was the City Engineer of the city of Somerville MA. Just north of Boston Somerville was the scene of significant events in the Revolutionary War. Now it was going through a rapid industrialization that would see its population mushroom from 15000 to 90000. The meatpacking industry was so large that Somerville was dubbed 'The Chicago of New England'. Brick-making was the second largest industry. All of this growth put significant strains on the city's infrastructure and Kimball played a very important role in seeing projects advance. He works tirelessly and his diary reflects the many meetings he attended or participated in: At stable at 7. Then to Cutter St. CB City Hall at 8AM Located drinking fountain at Davis Sq at 9am at bridge with giving grades for wall for 10-11 then to Packer St 3d at the work on drinking fountain Union Sq Dinner at City Hall PM Bd of Health at 4:15 Heywood Hartness called At City Hall to meet Cmtee on Bridges at 8 PM no quorum Aug 21 A stable at 7:15 Dane St sewer City Hall at 7:45 Vine St. Sewer at Dane & Vine 8-9 to City Hall to Summit St to Bow St met with LL Towes and Dr. White and talked about nuisance on Towes land. City Hall Vine St. 11:30 Dane St noon Dinner At City Hall in PM cal. no. Bricks on W Lane sewer At 5PM visited Mr. Towes land on Prospect St with Dr. White to Newton to see Aunt Supper At 7:30 met Dr. White & Mr. Towes at Dr. Whites house. We agreed to put off the case until Monday provided he would fire up immediately Sept 20 At St sewer Linden St catch basin visited Allen St. With Bennett at 9:30 to locate CB City Hall Central St sewer Dinner City Hall in PM At Central St sewer at 3 Meeting of Mayor and Aldermen in evening also Sewer Cmtee Nov 12 He makes reference to dropping by the FRR offices Sept 16 1876. FRR or the Fitchburg Railroad ran right through the city - it's main line is now part of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. Other businesses are mentioned as well such as Marine Britannic A Parker's Stone Factory and others. There are rarely any references to personal matters. He notes: . Home in evening worked on closet Dec 6 Went to City Hall in AM waiting in lot saw Father Mother and Daniel Dinner our case was reached about 3:30 Mother came Dec 11 The 4 1/2 months recorded in his diary gives and excellent picture of the work he is doing in 1876 and people he is interacting with as they work to build the infrastructure of this fast-growing city. In 1879 the pace continues unabated: To City hall at 1 P.M. State House also called on Ald. Gallinan. on 3 P.M. train on L.R.R. Arranging matters with Assistants etc. Jan 2 1879 In early January he journey to 'the West'. He noted stops in Montreal Toronto Detroit and Chicago before reaching his destination in Galesburg IL. In Galesburg he visited several churches including the "African Church". His entry for Han 13th is quite brief: At Galesburg. Having good time. Jan 13 1879 Returning home he is immediately immersed in the demands of his job: At work on Health Report all day. Meeting of Board of Health. Leave Committee at 7 P.M. Board of Ald at 7:30. Feb 3 1879 At City Hall at 8. Writing Annual Report. . Feb 5 1879 At stable at 7. George St. Sewer at 7:30. City Hall at 8 A.M. To Semple's Nursery with Mayor. Called on Dennis O'Connel left word that contract had been awarded for Park Ave. And Chandler St. sewer E Cambridge. City Hall home to Bell School looking over drainage Ald. Dodge and Mr. Page. . Dinner At City Hall at 2. To cutters land Bdg and Arlington fixing grade of street City Hall at 4:30 Home all evening. Apr 29 1879 1880 saw no change in his pace: City Hall at 8:15. Making a Lithograph and finishing the Rules and Regulations. Dinner 1P.M. To Cedar St. sewer near Hall St. Mike crawled through the sewer and took two bricks from drain out of Hall St. . Feb 14 1880 This is a superb resource for municipal historians. It gives a clear picture of the work of a City Engineer in late 19th century America. The scale and scope of his responsibilities and the demands of his position are very clear. An engineering researcher would be able to read the first hand account of the daily demand's on Kimball's time as he juggles major projects the most important being the sewer system being installed as the city grew. These were massive projects for their time. All of this was occurring at the same time that neighbouring Boston was building its first sewer system. Overall these three diaries give an excellent look inside the urban infrastructure development process at this critical juncture in America's history.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; GEORGE A KIMBALL SOMERVILLE MASSACHUSETTS REVOLUTIONARY WAR PROSPECT HILL BOSTON MBTA CONSTRUCTION URBAN DEVELOPMENT URBAN MODERNIZATION SEWERS TUNNELS UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE BRIDGES BEANTOWN FITCHBURG RAILROAD MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANSIT AUTHORITY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BRICK MAKING INDUSTRIAL CITIES OF NEW ENGLAND MIDDLESEX COUNTY; AMERICAN URBAN HISTORY; URBAN PLANNING; CITY ENGINEERS IN LATE 19TH CENTURY AMERICA; SOMERVILLE MUNICIPALITY; CITY GROWTH IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURYAMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

WESTERLY RHODE ISLAND LOCUSTVILLE. Good. 1884. On offer is an excellent and detailed diary of a Rhode Island businessman who was very active in his local community. The diary is in good condition. It measures 6 inches by 3 inches. The diary entries are 100% complete. There are several cash account pages partially completed as well as some memoranda notes. His entries are for the most part quite legible. George Washington Avery II was born in Groton CT February 18 1847 and lived in what is now Westerly RI. At the time it was also known as Locustville and there are some references to that later name. He died February 15th 1928 and is buried in what is know known as Hopkinton RI once part of Westerly. He and his wife Marcia had 4 children. Avery was a businessman who ran a machining shop as well as sold items such as oysters as illustrated by these entries: ". sold 17 gallons of oysters ." Feb 16; ". worked today on 15 horse valve case and 8 horse cylinder all day . oysters 13 gallons sold quickly" Feb 23; He is a member of a Lodge - most likely a Masonic Lodge ". Installation of Officers in Subordinate Lodge. Degree work was done . " Jan 14. He also played in a community band: "Band rehearsal tonight it a good one testing big Bass horn it is much larger than all the others". He was a member of the Republican Party and was quite disappointed when Grover Cleveland D defeated the much- vilified James Blaine. "Presidential Election. Came home this morning from Wickford . went to town meeting at hotel a great deal of excitement all over the country today" Nov 4. "Reports today Cleveland is elected other reports coming in later and both Parties claim it. Great excitement in the large cities fears of riots in some its almost as bad here in the county everyone is anxiously waiting the returns" Nov5 ". it is feared the Democrats have whipped us out with the help of the righteous selfish Temperance voters anything to defeat Blaine ." Nov 8. Through his diary a reader can meet a hard-working New Englander who is committed to his family and his community. ". Staid at home tonight. Had a fair practice and bothered Marcia to my hearts content" Dec 2. His entries are rich detail and one can get a very clear look at life in late 19th century Rhode Island. It is an excellent window into the daily life of a small entrepreneur and engineer as it was this type of person who in many ways actually laid the industrial foundations of the United States. This is a terrific resource for a social historian who is focused on life in late 19th century Rhode Island or New England.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1880S "GILDED AGE" GEORGE AVERY WESTERLY RI WASHINGTON COUNTY RHODE ISLAND NEW ENGLAND MACHINING IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY ENGINE DESIGN IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY LOCUSTVILLE RHODE ISLAND'S OYSTER INDUSTRY PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1884 PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND'S VICTORY 19TH CENTURY ENTREPRENEURS RHODE ISLAND ECONOMY IN 19TH CENTURY SMALL BUSINESSES IN 19TH CENTURY RHODE ISLAND NEW ENGLAND INDUSTRY NEW ENGLAND ECONOMY AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

GEORGE B AHN
1908 - 1949 REMARKABLE ARCHIVE OF THIRTEEN 13 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY RAILROAD EXECUTIVE EVANGELICAL REVIVAL CHURCH SERVICE ATTENDEE SHREWD POLITICAL PROGNOSTICATOR AND FATHER OF FIVE
ELMIRA NEW YORK WILLIAMSPORT PENNSYLVANIA. Very Good. 1908. On offer is a remarkable archive of thirteen 13 manuscript diaries handwritten by railroad executive George B. Ahn of Elmira New York and later Williamsport Pennsylvania. Collectors and historians of Pennsylvania and New York State railroad Americana will find a treasure trove of details in these diaries spanning forty-one years between 1908 - 1949 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1918 1920 1924 1925 1926 and 1949. The reader will see a man and his family mature before one's eyes. Most of the diaries are 80-90% full with about 4 years half full but overall George does a fantastic job relating the events of his life in specific detail except for his own age! We know from the first diary in 1908 his wife is 30 years old and then we learn they were married in 1902. It would appear since there is one child born well prior to the wedding Helen could be his second wife the first having died or been a divorce within the last ten months. Local historians and researchers will undoubtedly discover the prior events with some small effort. The books are small format diaries but George writes in tiny perfectly legible script typical of an engineer. His life breaks down into four areas: family Church politics and the Railroad. We believe P. and E. Railroad is his specific employer but he travels so many numbered trains and lines on a daily basis it is hard to be certain. Living in Elmira he often takes daily trips to Baltimore Buffalo Harrisburg Williamsport and as in the case of emergencies he would go to the far reaches of Pennsylvania as he did when the Austin Dam burst. The family is large and growing: wife Helen nee McClosky b. Jan.28.1878 married in Dec. 27th 1902 her sick mother their five kids Harold Daniel b. Feb. 3rd 1902 Georgie Bertha b. Oct. 25 1897 and baby Helen Elizabeth b. Nov.22 1907 Eloise b. Jan. 30 1913. Executive level meetings the Austin Dam disaster clean up Charlie Snyder crushed under train wheels passenger train inspections heads investigations into loss and damage claims worked on instructions for New Car Distribution Blanks and revised Loading Instructions other investigations and committees are all matters for George's attention. Then there is the Church. If George is not working or dealing with family matters he is attending Church Revival Services going to meetings for different missions appealing to 'seekers' going to lectures etc. In the 1949 diary we learn that George preaches almost exclusively most certainly long retired as he must be in his seventies by then. Lastly there is politics which George has a keen interest: he notes on a mayoralty race: "Wolfe being elected by landslide of Republican votes. Unfortunately he was backed by the base element
Wolfe is a stock broker - gambler." George also gives a tremendous amount of family and area history and genealogical information noting births deaths and other local events. Online research provided this following interesting note that validates the claim further research is required to flesh out the missing years of this interesting gentleman and his family. ONLINE REFERENCE: "D. F. Ahn and wife of Williamsport spent Monday evening with Mrs. Sallie Roath in this place. Mrs. Ahn was formerly Miss Jane Billow of this place. She with her husband formerly resided in Sunbury but have moved to the above city to take charge of the orphaned children of their son Geo. B. Ahn who has been promoted to the General Superintendent's office of the P. & E. Railroad."
