‎Manuscript Account Book Eichelberger Jacob‎

‎Account Book 1803-24‎

‎York County Pennsylvania 1824. Oblong 12mo. 88 pp. Contemporary calf backed wall-paper covered boards; binding rubbed at edges with minor loss of paper and leather otherwise very good. Eichelberger's account book contains a list of expenses as well as income relating to the Eichelberger farm. Entries are organized chronologically and list the item received or service performed as well as the price paid for the item or service. Eichelberger listed prices in both dollars and pounds. Typical expenses include the hiring of farm hands food often dried pork county taxes and the digging of a well. Eichelberger records far more income than expenses. He sold a number of items including wheat apples beef rye and animal fat. Eichelberger provided board to a widow by the name of Miller. Perhaps the most interesting sources of Eichelberger's income are the animals he sold. Between 1806 and 1809 Eichelberger records the sale of 86 horses accounting for the vast majority of his income during those years. He also records the sale of a few steer sheep and hogs but never in quantities as great as the horses. Several pages of the book record Eichelberger's duties as the executor of the will of his father George Allen Eichelberger. These entries list the name of the beneficiary the amount of the estate granted them and the date on which the transaction took place. The final entry in the book which is chronologically out of place and dated 1807 records Eichelberger's activities following the death of his father such as traveling to Carlisle for the reading of the will and appraisal of the estate. Curiously the entries in which the estate is divided among the beneficiaries are dated between 1824 and 1825--seventeen years after the initial reading of the will. This hints at the protracted probate disputes and complications involved in executing a will in the early nineteenth century. Also of note in this book is the inexplicable changes in the way Eichelberger spelled his name. In the earliest entries of the book it is spelled "Echelberger" then appears as "Eichelberger" and finally beginning around 1810 appears as "Higleberger". While the record book mentions no place names other than Carlisle a prosperous farm family by the name of Eichelberger resided in York County Pennsylvania for many years in the eighteenth century. It is very likely that Jacob was a member of this Pennsylvania-German family. unknown books‎

‎Paris: L'Imprimerie Royale 1756. 12mo pp. viii 275. Second edition after the quarto edition of the same year. Bound in contemporary French calf with gilt spine and with the exception of some insignificant marginal worming in a couple of signatures a very fine copy. Sabin 47511; Wroth American Bookshelf p. 22; Lande 657; TPL 250; Streeter II 1013; Echeverria & Wilkie 756/29. Writing in The John Carter Brown Library Report 1946 pp. 48-49 Lawrence Wroth notes that this is "one of the most important diplomatic documents in American colonial history . in which the French government is justifying its position as a contestant in the French and Indian War. Printed amongst other pertinent documents is Washington's captured journal of the Fort Necessity campaign and spread upon the record the articles of surrender in which the young provincal leader accepted the enemy's designation of the killing of Jumonville as an assassination." Sabin notes "From the evidence drawn from these documents they charge Washington with the murder of Jumonville. The memoirs prove that Jumonville was approaching Washington on an embassy of peace but that Washington unwilling to trust him ordered his advance to be fired upon." The Dictionary of Amercian History in discussing this same battle at Great Meadows near Unionville PA in April of 1754 asserts that Washington learned of the small force of French camped a few miles north of Fort Necessity and after a night march attacked them soon after sunrise killing ten including their commander Jumonville. This was Washington's first battle and the first engagement of the French and Indian War. After Washington's return to Fort Necessity he was attacked by 500 French and 400 Indians eventually capitulating and marching back to Virginia on foot. L'Imprimerie Royale unknown books‎

"An architect interested in ephemeral structures a photographer who has grown increasingly suspicious of pictures Alfredo Jaar's most telling gesture is to relinquish the camera by placing it figuratively and sometimes literally in the public's hands. In other words Jaar is a master of indirection. And no wonder. His work was shaped at the outset by the need to speak clearly and forcefully against murderous injustice using language of the most lucid obliquity. Jaar's work declares that daring to connect and participate is our last best hope." back cover. Charta paperback books‎
