‎[Nebraska]. [Western Photographica]‎

‎Folding Panoramic Paneled Photo of a Corn Farm and Feed Lot Owned by B.F. Trosper of Cambridge Nebraska‎

‎Cambridge Ne: F.M. Steele 1926. Very good. Four photographs in five segments 7 x 46 inches in length folding to 7 x 9 inches on a card mount 10 x 12 inches. Images joined with linen. Light wear to card photo generally clean and crisp. An interesting documentary panoramic photograph depicting the livelihood and agricultural success of one B.F. Trosper of Cambridge Nebraska. Each panel is captioned in the negative with the third photo occupying two segments of the panorama. The first shows Trosper a woman we presume to be his wife and two other men who may be hired hands; the woman sits at the wheel of a Model T which is parked parallel to the photographer while Trosper stand with one foot on the running board. The two men stand behind the car and a stacked pen of corn is used as a background. The caption reads "The finest background for pictures in Nebraska is corn. This is B.F. Trosper of Cambridge Neb." The second panel shows a worker and a dog standing to the right edge of the image which proudly displays seven pens of corn piled high: "12000 bushels of corn. One half of the amount that was raised in 1924-25 by B.F. Trosper of Cambridge Neb." The third image again shows the car parked in front of the corn pens on the left with a tractor and plow parked on the right side of the image the farmhouse and windmill in the background. Each panel of this photo has a caption: "B.F. Trosper one of south west Nebraska's successful farmers and stock growers" and "B.F. Trosper owns 1840 acres of land he has bought since 1884 commenced without a dollar Cambridge Neb." The final panel depicts Trosper's cows in the feed lot. Francis Marion Steele 1866-1936 was a noted itinerant Western photographer who captured cowboys and cattle drives roaming the West to document ranch life and farming operations. F.M. Steele unknown‎

‎[Ohio – Connecticut Western Reserve – Missionaries] Badger, Joseph; Badger, Abigail‎

‎1840 Letter from Rev. Joseph and Abigail Badger Discussing Church Matters and Life in Perrysburg Ohio‎

‎Perrysburg Ohio 1840. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Some stains folded with small tears at folds and tear at seal; overall near fine. Joseph Badger 1757–1846 was the first missionary to be sent to the Connecticut Western Reserve.1 He served in the Continental Army received a degree from Yale and was sent to Ashtabula County by the Connecticut Missionary Society in 1802. He retired in about 1833 after many years of organizing schools and churches around the Western Reserve plus a stint as a brigade chaplain during the War of 1812.<br /> <br /> Abigail Ely was Badger’s second wife; they married in 1819. The two write here to a widowed friend Harriet Lyon and her children in Gustavus Ohio. They discuss the importance of singing to religious work and of teaching children to sing and describe their living situation—on a farm nearby to some of their children who help them out. They also briefly complain about the quality of ministry in the area writing that the situation:<br /> <br /> “is exceedingly dark; one Church has a Minister worse than none; Six others have no Minister. . Much of the preaching that comes along occationally is calculated to excite the super-ficial affections of the mind without reaching the heart or enlightening the understanding.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Ohio and religion in the Western Reserve.<br /> <br /> 1 “Badger Joseph†in Encyclopedia of Cleveland History accessed March 20 2025 https://case.edu/ech/articles/b/badger-joseph. unknown‎

‎[RAILROADS -- PHOTO ALBUM]. [GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY].‎

‎A remarkable Edwardian photo album filled with 38 albumen and silver gelatin images of Great Western Railway Express steam locomotives designed and purchased by William Dean and George Jackson Churchward at the beginning of the 20th Century.‎

‎London England: Great Western Railway ca. 1905. Oblong 4to. 11 x 8 in. 48 pp unpaginated. on thick card stock all leaves mounted on linen hinges w/ 38 original albumen & silver gelatin photographs mounted all sized from 6 x 8.25 in. and all with very strong contrast and bright images. Contemporary embossed green cloth over beveled boards ruling in blind minor shelfwear light bumping to couple corners very light occasional interior toning still NF exemplar. This exceptional Edwardian factory photo album offers contemporary images of several classes of steam locomotives purchased and operated by the Great Western Railway under the direction of both William Dean and G.J. Churchward. The images primarily focus on the 4-4-0 Express engines including the “City Class†‘Badminton Class†GWR 4100 “Atbara Class†“Bulldog Class†and the “Saint Class.†Photos depict such storied locomotives as the William Dean No. 100 built in 1902 and fore-runner of the 4-6-0 locomotives on the Great Western Railway which were 2-cylinder machines built with parallel boilers; the Vanguard 4-4-0 later renamed Cunard was designed at behest of Churchward and based on the William Dean design with coned boilers and by 1905 19 further similar locomotives had been purchased. Also present is a photo of the La France No. 102 a 4-4-2 locomotive built in 1903 by Societe Alsacienne de Construction Mecaniques Works Number 5409 purchased by Churchward to evaluate French locomotive engines and compounding practices. In actuality the La France did not offer any significant improvement to Albion No. 171 Churchward’s prototype 4-6-0. The “City Class†locomotives are represented here by the Bath No. 3433 Bristol No. 3435 Birmingham No. 3434 Chester No. 3436 and London 3439 all constructed in 1903 and most remaining in service until 1929-1931. The “Atbara Class†4-4-0 locomotives were built from 1898-1905 and these used names in the public eye during Great Britain’s colonial wars but all were relegated to non-express following 1922. Represented in these photos are the Kitchener No. 3377 a 4-4-0 built in 1900 Kimberley No. 3379 Ladysmith No. 3380 Ondurman No. 3384 Brisbane No. 3396 and Cape Town No. 3397. Two photos show the tragic Mafeking No. 3382 which was withdrawn from service in Sept. 1911 after a severe accident at Henley-in-Arden with both images showing the same 4-4-0 configuration. The “Bulldog Class†engines feature the Albert Brassey No. 3414 built in 1902 and the Reading No. 3449 built in Oct. 1903 and later renumbered 3387. The “Saint Class†locomotives designed by G.J. Churchward often have the 4-4-2 configuration before many were rebuilt from 1907-1912 as 4-6-0 Express Locomotives. These include the Albion Quicksilver Robins Bolitho Lord Palmer Winterstroke Robertson Kirkland the Coeur de Lion and the Lalla Rookh. Of additional interest are the Nos. 103 “President†and 104 “Alliance†built by French de Glehn-du Bosquet as 4-cylinder locomotives purchased in 1905 and similar to the Paris-Orleans 3001 Class. One of the photos shows the Kennet No. 3015 which was the express locomotive involved in the June 16 1900 Slough Rail Accident which resulted in killing 5 passengers and injuring over 35. The accident also forced the adoption of improved vacuum brake systems on locomotives and rolling stock in the United Kingdom.

There are also several images of the Oregon Agricultural College now OSU baseball team including image of Walter “Keck going for first base†in May 1911. Keck was center fielder for the 1910-1911 OAC baseball team; “Max Meyer - Twirling†for his wind-up as pitcher for the 1911 team with note on verso from Bert to Charles asking him if “have you anything on the Popcorn Kings that has anything on this fellow;†or “Our Ball Players†with Bert writing that “Mysterious Walker and his bunch of ball tossers. Walker is second from left. Moore was kicked out.†Bert also sent a few images of the OAC Regiment passing in review marching and the assembly hall at the College. Also included are shots of fishermen and strings of fish in and around Forest Grove the Wilson River and views of hiking and wagons driving on the beach near Cannon Beach and Ecola Oregon together with views of the Cannon Beach Home inn and the group standing atop a massive Douglas Fir tree stump next to the cabin. In addition to images of baseball teams playing there are also photos of the Beaverton July 4th celebration in 1911 view of the Hotel Beaverton with flags and bunting draped across the front and crowds in the street. An RPPC addressed to Charles from “Kenneth†alias “Crooky†details games played by the Emporia State Normal School against the Aggies with score of 6-6 won 7-2 against the Kansas State Manual Trade School when he suffered a concussion and were playing the Kansas State Normals at Emporia later that week in 1911. One of the auto camping photos shows Bert Pilkington and his wife Annie Bleeg Pilkington Charles’ older sister setting with their two children against their touring car and auto tent whiles others depict hiking in the forest and fishing alongside the stream. The remainder of the album focuses on the 1912 fishing adventures by Charles Bleeg and friends including Warren Woodard and “Doc Wadsworth†as they drove from Forest Grove along the Wilson River to Tillamook and fishing and camping along the way. The images show the 1912 Schacht Brass Era touring car members of the fishing party with their surprising amounts of catches of trout camp scenes digging out the Schacht from the mud alongside the rough roads and the bucolic beauty of rural Oregon at the time. Four of the images are larger and include a “Flashlight†view of the group seated amidst their camping equipment laundry hanging above their heads hatchets on the wall behind and fishing equipment while others show fishing rods creels and equipment and fish literally spilling out in a cornucopia and labeled “A day’s sport -- on the Big Nestucca August 15 1912.†Bleeg 1891-1979 worked for Archer & Combs who were wholesale hardware dealers specializing in automobile parts in the Brass Era and also sold automobiles such as the Schacht. The company later became Archer & Wiggins and he also worked for other firms in Portland OR while attending North Pacific College to become a dentist like his older brother Fred Bleeg. After graduating in 1915 and serving in World War I he set up offices in the historic Selling Building on NE 21st Ave. in Portland where his practice remained until the 1950’s. His son Charles Henry Bleeg 1922-2018 founded and operated the very successful Bleeg Motors on 16th & Sandy which was the oldest continuously operating car dealer in Oregon and in fact he remained in his offices working up to his death. Pilkington 1879-1937 was captain of the Oregon Agricultural College football team from 1904-1905 and later became professor of chemistry as well as athletic coach. He married Bleeg’s older sister who had attended OAC in 1907 and often referred to Charles in his notes on the RPPC’s as “Otter.†Charles Bleeg, Bert Pilkington, Oregon Agricultural College, hardcover‎

First edition thus with supplements of this pioneering telephone directory for the Pacific States Telephone Companies which in 1900 became the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Co. and managed the West coast operations of the national AT&T or Bell system. Based out of their Richadson-inspired Romanesque building in San Francisco on Steiner Street the PSTC later PT&T had grown quickly from less than 1000 subscribers in 1891 to nearly 50000 by 1899 with 36541 in California 4177 in Oregon and 7156 in Washington State and this directory includes the very scarce leaf of the Idaho subscribers as well typically lacking. The first long distance telephone conversation held between San Francisco and Los Angeles was in 1894 and the company encouraged residences to obtain their own lines at 5¢ per day. While telephone rates in California varied from 10¢ to 50¢ those in Oregon Washington & Idaho were far higher with Zone Z no time limit running up to $ 1.00 per 3 minute use. Of particular interest is the list of subscribers in 1899 seven years prior to the 1906 Earthquake & Fire of Chinese subscribers in English and Chinese for the Chinese American Telephone Exchange. Founded in Chinatown originally in 1887 a public telephone pay station was installed in the Occidental Newspaper in 1891 and in 1894 a small switchboard was set up with Chinese-American telephone operators.
