‎Lettre autographe signée‎

‎Charles de Lorbac (ca.1829-1903), écrivain, un des premiers wagnériens français, auteur d'une biographie de Wagner dès 1861, pseudonyme de Charles Cabrol. L.A.S., Paris, 24 septembre 1876, 3p in-8. Entête du journal La Liberté. A l'actrice Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) à propos d'une séance littéraire le dimanche suivant [31 octobre]. Il aurait aimé l'entendre dire son « souvenir de Faust » : « c'est seulement en vous écoutant, charmé, que je retrouverai dans ce "souvenir de Faust" l'idéal que je portais en moi, quand je l'ai écrit !. Mais enfin, pour vous-même et pour tout le monde - excepté moi - il vaut mieux que vous disiez les vers de [François] Coppée ». Il s'est aussi porté garant de Bernhardt en affirmant qu'elle serait bien présente le dimanche. Dans le catalogue de la bibliothèque de Sarah Bernhardt se trouvait un exemplaire d'un livre de Lorbac, Saint Pierre de Rome (n°581). On trouve peu de choses sur sa vie et même La Liberté n'annonce sa mort que par un entrefilet le 7 septembre 1903. Le Ménestrel l'annonce le 13 septembre en précisant son âge, 74 ans. [369]‎

Both include daily weather election news local news yellow fever deaths specified local events and a great deal about the Navy Yard where Mr. Sleeper spent a great deal of time.

‎1923 - 1925 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT ABOARD THE NEWLY COMMISSIONED USS RALEIGH WHO DETAILS NAVAL LIFE 'BETWEEN THE WARS'‎

‎USS RALEIGH ASEA ICELAND CUBA GUANTANAMO BAY. Good. 1923. On offer are a sensational pair 2 of original 1923 - 1925 manuscript diaries handwritten by a young sailor named Charles F. Ber_____ it is difficult to make out his last name which is written on a fragment of the inside front cover but researchers with access to crew manifests will undoubtedly confirm the full name who served on the USS Raleigh CL-7 in the Sick Bay medical department as a senior assistant to the doctor. The two diaries cover almost three years from the USS Raleigh's initial commissioning with over 400 pages of writing with significant entries throughout for historians and researchers interested in the 'between wars' years on a ship of some renown. Charles does a super job detailing his life aboard ship and on land from even before she was first launched but also with the ship when they sailed to Iceland Guantanamo Bay Panama Canal Zone California and Hawaii just to name a few. The author is quite detail oriented and records the mundane and the unique. For example while in Iceland he sees two movie companies making films on shore and talks in detail about some historical air flights. Here are some snippets: 1923 "September 7th I was discharged at the Naval Hospital League Island Pennsylvania by Commander R.C. Holcomb MC U.S.N. The Captain Raymond Spear was on leave at the time." "September 9th & 10th George Bayard and wife Emma Dallago and Rita Whitney had lunch with me. After lunch we sang and danced in the administration building. Afterwards we went out in the Navy Yard and went aboard the Birmingham; Mercy and some destroyers….Left Philadelphia early Monday morning for Washington. Emma Dallago was with me. It was her first visit to the capitol city. We spent a real pleasant day in Washington. I asked Dr. Buell's of the Bu. M. & S. for foreign shore duty but he refused me so I asked for the New Scout Cruiser U.S.S. Raleigh and he granted my request. Emma left for Philadelphia at 7:00 P.M. and I left for Laurel Mississippi at 10:00 P.M. I was on 30 days leave." "October 11th Reported to Lt. Commander F. X. Koltes for detail. He was acting as the Executive officer at the time. I asked for the lab detail and my request was granted." "October 23rd Orders arrived for my transfer to the Rec. Ship Boston in connection with the fitting out of the U.S.S. Raleigh and on board when in commission." "October 30th Received orders from the hospital at League Island to proceed to Boston at 9:30 A.M. Received transportation from pay office at the Rec. Station at 11:00 A.M. Left the hospital at 12:00 noon and left Philadelphia over the Reading at 1:00 P.M. Arrived in Jersey City at 2:45 P.M. and in N.Y. at 3:00 P.M. I went to pier 39 and went aboard the Cambridge of the Colonial Line Steamship for Providence. Went aboard at 3:25 P.M. and the boat shoved off at 5:30 P.M. There was a C.M. A.A. A C. Stk and Stk-32 with five G.C.M. P.'s. They were going to the naval prison at Portsmouth N.H. The prisoners were all firemen and just back from Turkey. As we left N.Y. it was a wonderful sight to see N.Y. by night. We passed near the Statue of Liberty Ellis Island Blackwell's Island and Long Island. I had dinner on the boat." "November 3rd Went down to the Bethlehem Ship yard about 8:30 A.M. Went aboard the Raleigh for the first time. It will be great when it is finished. Had lunch with C. Yeo. Redmond Campbell at 2:21 P.M. I went to Boston. When I went down to Chelsea to the Naval Hospital I knew five of the Chiefs on duty there; Strout Littlefield Mc Daniel Ray and Campbell. I had supper at the hospital. After supper I left for Quincy. I arrived in Quincy at 6:35 P.M." "December 1st The U.S.S. Raleigh is in the floating dry dock. I went down in the dry dock and went under the Raleigh 555 ft. long. I then went aboard the U.S.S. Lexington an airplane carrier. After I came home I went to Cox drug store and got the Kodak pictures." "December 12th The first trial trip of the Raleigh was made today. It was builder's trial. A number of the Beth. Shipbuilding Corp officers and workmen were aboard as well as most of the Navy officers and enlisted men. I got aboard at 6:50 A.M. the gangplank was removed at 7:15. We shoved off at 7:20. There were five tugs that took her out in the clear. At 7:40 the tugs let go. At 9:15 we passed Boston Light Ship. There was a cold stiff breeze blowing. It blew spray clear over the deck. The most speed that was made was 29 knots an hour. At 11:30 we had chow. We went about 28 miles off the coast. We turned back between 11:00 and 12:00 o'clock. We got back to the dock at 3:20 P.M. and I was off by 3:25 P.M. The tugs 5 met us just the other side of the bridge…." 1924 "January 18th Mailed C.H. a military set for a birthday present. Went aboard the ship this A.M. about 11:10 to inspect the sterilizers and to see them work. They are ok. Seen the Fore River doctor this A.M. and made arrangements to use his office and syringes to vaccinate with typhoid vaccine some of the Raleigh officers and crew. Will also give Cow Pox vaccine. Captain Watts called me in his office and asked me about the typhoid vaccine. Said he wanted Dr. Lane to give him a shot the first thing Monday Morning…." "January 21st Received an itinerary of the commissioning and shake down cruise of the Raleigh today. The commanding officers received a good conduct medal for me today but it was not presented to me yet. Called Reason about the Typhoid vaccine." "January 24th Went to Boston receiving ship to get some typhoid vaccine and some elixir terpinhydrate and heroin. Got back at 12:30 P.M. Got to the office at 1:00 P.M. Dr. Lane had received the other typhoid vaccine and so soon as I arrived we began preparing to give the typhoid and cow pox vaccine to some officers and enlisted men. Captain Watts was the first to get t shot of typhoid vaccine…." "February 4th Went aboard the Raleigh this A.M. to locate the hospital corpsmen's billets and lockers. Dr. Lane told me that he would be the head of Div. 8 in name but I would be in reality. He received all the keys to the sick bay and lockers and I received the duplicate keys to the same…." He writes about a funeral party that went to Ex-president Wilson's funeral. Also heading to New York Harbor to dock and taking on torpedoes then out to sea: "April 18th & 19th It is raining and the sea is very choppy. We got lost twice during the night and once about 8:00 A.M. We will not go to Annapolis until Monday or Tuesday. We are going there so the 1924 class can look over the ship. We turned south some time yesterday. We anchored some time between 4:00 and 5:00 P.M. We got underway some time later. At about 7:00 P.M. we anchored for the night. We are supposed to be about 10 miles southeast of Cape Charles Light. At one time we were in 7 fathoms of water….We weighed anchor and got underway about 6:30 A.M. We are now in the Chesapeake Bay. Land on our port side. We are anchored some where in Chesapeake Bay. No inspection. We weigh anchor at 11:30 A.M. and headed for Hampton Roads. A Navy tug Hercules brought towed a motor boat out to us while we were at anchor. A boat like the Gig. It carried a whale boat back in its place. Sent a bag of mail ashore by the tug. We got under way and then anchored again lowered the sea plane over the side. We are headed for Solomon's Island. We are going to Graves End instead of South Hampton. It is a beautiful day." "May 4th Went ashore this P.M. to see the Commissioned officers and the warrant officers play ball. 32 to 6 in favor of the Com. Officers. Liberty at 5:00 P.M. Some C.P.O's got midnight liberty. Some girls visited the W.O's and had show with them. A Sea-2C AP.A.H. tried to swim ashore and decided it was too far so he thought he would commit suicide. He lost his nerve and hollered for help." "June 24th ……Left Quincy about 3:00 P.M. We passed a floater in a bathing suit and the ship was stopped and a whaleboat sent out to look for the floater. He was not found. A tug came alongside and took the pilot ashore. The plane had been up and the photographer took some pictures of the Raleigh. While we were stopped we took the plane aboard. The day is a hot sunny day." "July 9th We are indeed in the land of the midnight sun. It hardly gets dark before it is light again. I got up at 5:00 A.M. There is land in sight. The clocks and watches were set ahead one hour at 7:30 A.M. Greenwich time Hebrides Islands. We had general quarters and man the rail. We are in sight of Scotland. We passed through the Pentland Firth into the North Sea about 3:30 P.M. We passed between Scotland and the Orkney Islands. The Shetland Islands are north of us but not in sight. There are numerous travelers in the North Sea. I helped print some pictures tonight." "July 28th & 29th The Richmond came in this A.M. at 10:00 o'clock. It is foggy and cold. The seas are running high. We are to leave at 8:00 P.M. for Iceland. We left at about 8:00 P.M. and just before 9:00 P.M. the clocks and watches were turned back one hour. It is stormy weather…We have pretty weather and smooth seas. General quarters this A.M. We are due to land or arrive at our destination tomorrow morning at 2:00 A.M. Hornafjord Iceland." "August 3rd Sick call and quarters this A.M. A bunch of chiefs went ashore this A.M. The other aviator #2 plane went by at 1:12 P.M. We got underway about 9:00 A.M. and went to sea. We returned as soon as the plane passed. One plane #3 made a forced landing before it reached us. The liberty party came back about 6:00 P.M. and the seas were running high along side the ship. The seas were six or eight feet high. The party in the whale boat landed in the starboard torpedo room." "August 8th It is still raining. Our planes are making hops. I went ashore at 1:00 P.M. and returned at 3:30 P.M. One of the world flyer planes is on the beach. It is #4. New Orleans. One of the aviators from plane #3 came aboard the Raleigh. I noticed two movie men ashore A Pathe' and International making pictures. We are to go toward Greenland tomorrow on a scouting trip. Maurice drunk." "August 10th Sick call as usual. About 10:00 A.M. we sighted icebergs. There are 40 lookouts on deck. It is cold and foggy but the sun is trying to shine. We are going to send the planes out on a scouting trip. If they find a good place to land they will return to the ship and carry gas and anchors ashore. I am trying to go ashore with them. They will have to wear side arms. I will not get to go with the planes. At about 4:30 P.M. we hit an iceberg. It bent one blade on the forward starboard propeller and bent the after starboard propeller shaft. Collision was sounded. We are in the midst of big icebergs and are likely to hit them at any time. The fog is still thick. It lifts a bit and then settles down again. We are proceeding very slow. At times we have to back down. We headed out of the ice fields. At 11:00 P.M. we lay to. We're out of the ice fields and danger zone. I saw the Northern Lights aurora borealis for the first time. It was a beautiful sight." "August 21st The Army planes hopped off this A.M. at about 4:00 o'clock. It is a bad day. The sea is more or less rough. The wop flyer started with the other two planes but when they passed the Barry he was 25 minutes ahead. The wop is trying to go to the North Pole……At 3:30 P.M. there was no sign or no news of the Army planes so we got underway and started towards Barry in search of them. The ships were lined up from Iceland to Greenland as follows; Richmond Billingsley Reed Barry and Raleigh. The Milwaukee is on the other side of Greenland. Planes #2 and 4 landed in Greenland all ok. We don't know where the wop is. We have not heard from him as yet. We did not see the other planes pass us on account of the fog. I heard two different rumors about the wop's flight. One is that he is headed for the pole; the other is that he is going around the world. 826 miles from Iceland to Greenland." "August 23rd It is cloudy this A.M. but our two planes were lowered over the side about 5:00 A.M. and went in search of the Italian plane. The Italian's plane is an all metal plane. Our planes returned about 7:30 A.M. and left again about 10:00 A.M. and returned at 12:30. Only one plane went on the 10:00 A.M. trip. Lt. Collins and RM-3C Daniels was in one plane and Lt. Flemings and CMMA Ormsbee was in the other one. The second trip Lt. Collins and ACMM Ormsbee made the second trip….A Danish war vessel "The Island Falk" sent Eskimos out in their kayaks to look for the Italians and they also sent a motor boat to look for them…." Talks about lying upside the Richmond and passing the wreck of the H.M.S. Raleigh They arrive home on September 3rd in the Boston yard. The last entry in this diary is October 13th. Diary 2 - Guantanamo Bay California and Hawaii. Lots of torpedo testing in this diary: "October 20th ….Departed Hampton Roads about 8:00 A.M. We arrived at Southern Drill grounds about 11:00 A.M. The Concord and the Trenton came out later. At about 3:00 P.M. the Trenton had an explosion in one of the twin mounts. 18 or 19 injured. At 5:00 P.M. we received a vague report. One man still missing overboard. At 5:25 one of our planes was lowered over the side and went in search for the man overboard. It was too dark to see much. We had general quarters at 1:00 P.M. Dummy firing. We are still searching with the search lights for the man overboard. The Trenton returned to Hampton Roads under full speed. We looked for the man overboard until about 10:00 P.M. The search lights going all the while." "November 10th Guantanamo Bay Another pretty day. The doctor went ashore to help with an operation. We left the Bay about 7:20 A.M. Harting was sunburned so bad last Sunday that the is on the excused list. General quarters this A.M. We had our final short range trials. We will fire Friday. Returned to Guantanamo Bay at 3:30 P.M. The patient that was operated on died about three hours after the operation. We got mail today. I went to the movies tonight." "November 28th Another pretty day. There is an island on our starboard. We continue to pass islands. It is getting cooler all the time. No quarters or general quarters today. The first general court martial was handed out today to Madigan. The uniform is now undress whites with jumpers. The last movie show was tonight." 1925 "February 9th Arrived at Guantanamo Bay at 12:15 A.M. and after unloading some supplies and mail to the Whitney we departed at 3:20 A.M. The Detroit's steering gear and turbines went on the blink. She had to stop in the bay for awhile but she beat us to Guantanamo Bay. The Trenton had to stop in the bay for awhile to get a corpse ashore. A man died with ___ pneumonia. We left mail with the Whitney but we did not get any in return. We arrived in Guantanamo Bay at 11:45 A.M. will be here all night. It is so clear in the water that we can see the bottom at six or seven fathoms 36 or 42 feet. The Detroit Cincinnati Milwaukee and Richmond were here when we arrived. We had general quarters this afternoon. Movies at night." "February 19th No quarters yesterday or today. I went ashore at 12:55. It took over an hour to get to the dock. We landed in Balboa. Mail came aboard before we left the ship. I like Panama City. Came back to the ship at about 10:00 P.M. Left the dock at 11:00 P.M. There were plenty drunks but I was not one of them. Did not take a drink of anything but water." "March 25th Left Huntington Beach about 6:00 A.M. Went out and joined the fleets. Had quarters as usual. We watched the Battle Fleet fire. It was real interesting. Colored splashes. The firing was finished by ten thirty. We headed back for Huntington Beach to send divers down to recover our starboard anchor. Had the following drills on our way in; Fire Collision Fire and Rescue and examined three men for physical qualifications for diving. I examined one man for 20 days B. & W. yesterday and vaccinated 71 men. I vaccinated myself…." "April 5th Sick call. We passed through Golden Gate about noon. An air plane flew over and a movie man took pictures of us. It was very foggy. We arrived at 1:50. Went ashore at 3:00. Went to a movie and vaudeville show then went to see "White Collars" a comedy. Got back to the ship at about 1:30 A.M. We received mail." "May 2nd Hawaii No inspection. Got underway for Pearl Harbor about seven o'clock. Got to the Navy Yard early. Took oil from the Brazo's. Went ashore from Pearl Harbor Navy Yard. Got to Honolulu before one P.M. Passed some sugar cane farms on my way in to Honolulu. Went out to see the Godshall's. Went to a fort to see the movies. Last night and tonight. The ship returned to Honolulu about four o'clock. Mail." "May 6th A day long to be remembered. I made my first trip by air plane. One of our planes #3/14. Mide La Porte A.P. was the pilot. We were lowered over the side in the plane. First time up we were about 200 feet and had to make a landing on account of engine trouble. We got back to the ship about 11:40 and we left about 10:00 A.M. I enjoyed the hop very much. Only thrill was when he would make a heavy bank. Went ashore at 12:45. Went out to Godshalls and took a short swim. Mr. Settle took me for a ride. Went out to Pearl Harbor way and then up on Round Top Mountain. There is a wonderful view from Round Top. Returned aboard at 10:00 P.M." "May 22nd We got underway about 8:00 A.M. and returned at 2:20 P.M. We played another war game. The smoke screens were great. No one was allowed to make pictures of them in any of the maneuvers. I bought me a fountain pen from the canteen a Parker. I went ashore at 5:00 P.M. in the Captains' gig. I inquired of the patrol if any one had turned in a pen to them but no one had so I am still a pen shy…." "August 18th About 5:30 P.M. a boiler exploded on a boat going from Newport to Pawtucket. Two people were killed and several injured. The injured were taken to the Naval Hospital. I got to the hospital about seven o'clock and stayed until about eleven. It was a horrible sight in the ward. Men women and children were burned. The Mackinac." One diary is housed in a 6-ring binder measuring about 4" x 6". The other has lost the covers save for the aforementioned fragment. The pages measure about 3" x 5 ½" and are in great condition. Truly a superb peek a naval life from the sick bay.

‎1909-1920 Archive of Diaries Following a Hardworking Aging Erin New York Farmer Painting a Fulsome Picture of Farm Life and the Farming Community‎

‎Erin New York: Farming Life in Rural New York Retiring Farmer. Good with no dust jacket. Softcover. On offer is an archive of three diaries covering the years 1909 1910 and 1920 that very clearly describe life of an aging farmer in rural New York at the turn of the 20th century. The author of these diaries is Charles G. Jackson 1859-1943. Jackson was born in 1859 in Schuyler County New York and farmed near the village of Erin New York in the ‘Southern Tier’ region of the state. He passed away inCorning New York. He was married to Hattie Harriet who predeceased him in 1928 at the age of 70 years. They had one child a son named John Raymond who is often referred to in the diaries as ‘R’. Jackson is 50 years old when he writes the first of these three diaries and 61 when he writes the final diary. His entries are succinct showing him to be a factual and ‘to the point’ person yet they paint a clear picture of life on a farm at that time. It was a life of hard physical labour. Some excerpts give the flavour of this collection: “Nice day. Hat went to Elmira on train. I sorted apples this p. M. ” Jan 20 1909. “Fine day filled ice house only about 5 in of ice done a good job had plenty of help” Mar 8 1909. “I finished drilling side hill about 3: 30 dry & dusty a hard job” July 9 1909. “Cut B wheat all day. Binder does not tie good had O Elstum come down at nite to fix it” Sept 17 1909. “Finished plowing for corn the am PM I helped shingle a while then raked up some stone fine weather has been a warm month” Nov 30 1909. “Finished plowing hill at 4 pm began to plow garden ground is very dry tho had no rain this spring” Apr 1 1910. “J Jacobson helped me draw hay put about 6 loads in stack 1 load in barn this day hot” July 15 1910. “I plowed all day. Cold wind and snow squalls in PM. I wore my big Ulster and leggings to plow in” Nov 3 1910. Ten years later at the age of 61 he still has a hard physically demanding life. Excerpts follow: “Snows some and blows a little. A little warmer. Took 1ó hours to shovel out creek for water” Feb 28 1920. “Fine day. Thrashed 135 bu B wheat 8 ac acres 140 bu oats 5 ac 40 bu wheat 5 ac 35 bu barley 1 ac” Oct 19 1920. For a historian or researcher this is an excellent collection of diaries. Succinct though the entries can be taken as a whole they vividly portray in detail life on a family farm in rural New York a century ago. Jackson makes many references to neighbours and this makes these diaries valuable to a genealogist as this is a stable population in this part of the state with long roots in the area. Altogether this is a fine collection. All three diaries 1909 1910 1920 measure 5x3 inches and contain 183 pages. All are 100% complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition.

‎1918 Original Handwritten Diary of a 65-Year-Old Widower in Rural Maine‎

‎On offer is a fine description of life in rural Maine at the end of World War I. The author of this 1918 diary is 65-year-old Charles Green of Skowhegan Maine. Green was born in 1853 and spent his entire life in and around the village where he lived with his wife and three sons. He passed away in 1935 at the age of 82. When Green recorded the events of this diary he was a widower--his wife Emma having died a year earlier. He spends his days doing a variety of small tasks and enjoys meeting friends to socialize and play cards at a local hotel: "A.M. About home. P.M. Went to see income tax man and bank and then went to Butler's office and had papers made out. Evening at hotel a while and come home 8:30. Fine day" January 29. "A.M. Split wood. Changed clothes and went to town and played 63 at hotel and went over to garage. Evening played 63 a while and come and wrote letters. Mild and rained some" February 12. "Got up and come home and read till 4:50 P. M. Then went to town at 5 the Hotel Coburn took fire and burnt down. A cold night" March 3. In the back of the book is a family record listing family members and their birth dates. There are also several pages of contact information for friends and acquaintances. This small pocket diary measures 3.0 inches by 4.75 inches and contains 183 pages. It is one hundred percent complete. The cover shows wear and the back cover has been damaged. The binding is in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is legible. For a local historian or genealogist this diary offers a fine picture of life in a small and fairly remote part of the United States at the close of World War I.

‎1862 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT CIVIL WAR ERA DIARY CHRONICLING THE TRAVELS AND TRAVAILS OF A CIRCUIT RIDER TEACHER IN CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE‎

‎New York New York NY USA Oneida Chenango county. Good. 1862. On offer is a super detailed Civil War era diary by a circuit-rider school teacher who we believe was a Charles J. Peterson of Philadelphia who details his visits stays 'scholars' and local events of the area he serviced in central New York state. The author has connections to the area as he mentions births and funerals specifically related to him and his family. This diary will prove a wealth of genealogical and historical first hand information in central New York State specifically Oneida and Chenango counties. Each day begins with where our author will sleep that night. He also records the number of students daily and then makes a separate note in the margin. Research suggests he is paid by the number of students he teaches per day. The writer is also very involved in the communities - singing schools assisting in farm chores; hauling wood taking up carpet tapping sugar bush cleaning up etc. being nominated at 'Caucus' to be a constable meetings with the Teacher's Association a child dying from diphtheria his own bout with Scarlet Fever and so on. It seems teaching duties end in the spring when the weather improves and though he travels around a bit still our writer settles with one family for the summer and does farm labor for the most part. Diary is a small size measures 4" x 2 ½" & is all intact & clean with supple pages some wear on spine.; Manuscript; 48mo - over 3" - 4" 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 AMERICANA 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 CIVIL WAR WAR BETWEEN THE STATES UNION REBELS NEW YORK TEACHER TEACHING EDUCATION ONEIDA CHENANGO DIPTHERIA SCARLET FEVER GENEALOGICAL . unknown‎

‎Charles Leonard Cone and Marian Erma (Williams McCracken) Cone‎

‎1925-1938 Diaries of the Husband and Wife of a Stafford New York Farming Family Both of Whom Are on Their Second Marriages‎

‎Stafford Batavia New York New York State. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a terrific archive of two diaries and a cash accounts book kept by a farming husband and wife in Stafford New York which follow them from late in their courtship through their marriage and the family life that followed. The diaries belong to Charles Leonard Cone 1904-1978 and Marian Erma Williams McCracken Cone 1905-1995. Charles and Marian were each other’s second spouses. Charles’ first wife Mae Pinney died in 1926 while Marian divorced her first husband Ezekiel David McCracken in February of 1929 in her accounting notes she includes the $70.00 she paid for said divorce. Marian and Charles married on May 4 1929. They had ten children. They each entered their marriage with a child from their previous unions Evelyn and Charles Jr. . Together the couple had Doris who did not survive infancy Shirley Norma Laura Laverne Lloyd Robert and Betty. This collection of three diaries covers the years of 1925-1938. The first two books were kept by Marian. The first is a diary that covers January 1 1929-May 9 1929 and May 10 1930-August 5 1930 note that this is a 1929 diary and Marian has changed the year to 1930 beginning on May 10. The second is a cash account book offering a fascinating look at the cost of goods and services in the 1920s and 1930s. Marian begins the accounts book in January of 1925 and keeps it consistently until mid-1926. The book is then used inconsistently between 1928 and 1938 allowing the researcher to compare cost of living over the course of 13 years. The final dairy allows us to see the Cone’s world through their patriarch Charles. He keeps the diary mostly from January to April 1934 with a few entries in 1937. His entries are fairly brief but provide a nice contrast to Marian’s as he describes the work he does day to day. Some excerpts from Marian’s diary follow: “It has been pleasant just like a spring day. The snow is all gone. The creek is up to the road and it is raining tonight. I mopped and done my ironing this forenoon. We sewed this afternoon. I finished Elsi Scott’s dress and got Mother’s all done but the hem” Jan 18 1929. “It was pleasant only the wind blew. Louis plowed all day. We went over to Stafford and got our license this forenoon. We took Evelyn up to his folks while we went up and got married. We went up to Ruth’s tonight. Charles Junior came home with us this afternoon. Ruth and George had gone away. I made a cake and decorate it for Ruth’s birthday. I broke the starter again” May 4 1929. “Louis plowed over to the other place in the afternoon he dragged the barley ground. Charlie drilled the barley in the forenoon and sowed grass seed in the afternoon. I rolled a while in the afternoon” May 10 1930. “It was pleasant all day. The boys began pulling beans this morning. Had to fork them out by hand. I baked a cake and 2 pies this morning then went over and forked beans the rest of the day” Aug 28 1930. Excerpts from the Charles diary follow: “Arose 5: 30. Took children to school. Took Marian to dentist had all her teeth out. Rev Miller was here tonight. Mrs. Votry kept children” Feb 1 1934. “Fixed spreader in a. M. Cut awhile p. M. Until rain. Marian went to Batavia alone p. M. Omar and I went to night” Mar 31 1934. “Rose 3: 15. Loaded lambs. Fred helped us sold some potatoes worked around all day went to Raymond’s at night” Apr 9 1934. The diaries measure 7x4.5 inches 5.25x4.75 inches and 7x4.25 inches respectively. All are in Fair condition with notable wear to the covers. The books range from 30% to 60% complete. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author . hardcover‎

‎CHARLES M DAWSON‎

‎1876 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN ENGLISH WOOL MERCHANT'S 18 YEAR OLD SON WHO GAINS KNOWLEDGE CONFIDENCE AND EXPERIENCE IN CANADA AND THE USA BEFORE HE TACKLES CHINA‎

‎SS ADRIATIC AMERICA CANADA. Good. 1876. On offer is a super original May to September 1876 manuscript diary handwritten by Charles M. Dawson the son of British wool manufacturer Mark Dawson. Only 18 years old the tour to the US and Canada was undertaken to build up the confidence and experience of the scion of a successful enterprise. We note this trip was a prelude to a much longer undertaking in 1877 - 1878 when he visited China to sight-see conduct business but mostly to assess the market on behalf of his father's firm Mark Dawson & Sons of Bradford England worsted spinners est. 1848. We list these diaries separately Seller ID #0002187. Using a small 3 x 4 inch gilt edged undated note book with worn marbleized covers titled 'Log of my Journeyings in America and Canada from May 23rd 1876 Private' has approximately 115 pages of entries one cannot fail to be impressed by the maturity and composure of this young man who does a fine job of describing his voyage and his observations of all that he experiences. Adding further depth are a small number of illustrations by the young Dawson who is already quite and accomplished artist. We have a sketchbook he created much later in life. Beginning May 24 1876 leaving on the SS Adriatic from Liverpool we learn of seasickness whales icebergs and the death aboard ship of a young man in the last stage of consumption. Then to New York where his North American sojourn begins. Here are some snippets: Thursday Sept. 28 "This day being Pennsylvania Day all the stores were closed the streets were lined with bunting and flags as fine as are the 4th July - Geo having nothing to do he I set out early for the Exposition. We arrived there with great difficulty as every possible means of conveyance was crammed. The crowd at the Centennial was something fearful. Every passage and aisle was crowded to suffocation. We rambled around somehow nearly all day. We had a fine look in a Turkish café smoking long pipes and houkahas drinking coffee etc. We created a great sensation." Included is a tucked in photo of the 67 year old Charles. The cover is worn spine loose but overall G.; Manuscript; 48mo - over 3" - 4" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF CHARLES M.

‎CHARLES MARSH‎

‎EXTRAÑA GLORIA. VIDA DE DIETRICH BONHOEFFER‎

‎Marcada por la fragmentariedad las interrupciones y los grandes interrogantes ante un futuro incierto la vida de Dietrich Bonhoeffer tuvo su mejor plasmación en una concepción teológica atenta precisamente a lo fragmentario cuyo acabamiento escribió «solo puede ser obra de Dios: son fragmentos que deben ser fragmentos». Sin embargo es posible hallar en esta existencia una convergencia que permite captar la totalidad en las partes. Es esta continuidad en el cambio la que sobresale en esta nueva biografía que al mismo tiempo refracta la realidad histórica en la experiencia personal de su protagonista. A partir de una cuidadosa indagación documental y de un exhaustivo conocimiento de sus escritos este libro reconstruye con talento narrativo las etapas y los momentos más significativos de la vida de Bonhoeffer. Pero no solo describe sus circunstancias y encrucijadas sino que penetra en el proceso de formación de sus convicciones más profundas. Charles Marsh presta especial atención a la posición de resistencia adoptada por Bonhoeffer a partir del ascenso del nacionalsocialismo y frente a la claudicación de la Iglesia oficial alemana pero también a su experiencia norteamericana en la que Bonhoeffer entra en contacto con otras comunidades cristianas como las de los negros de Harlem y aporta claves que ayudan a sopesar su rico legado teológico.‎
