DAISY H WOODS [Mrs GEORGE WOODS]
1934 - 1939 ORIGINAL GROUP OF FIVE 5 DEPRESSION ERA DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE MATRIARCH OF A FARMING FAMILY DOING QUITE WELL FOR THE TIMES
AUSTINBURG OHIO ASHTABULA COUNTY. Good. 1934. On offer is an interesting group of five 5 manuscript diaries exemplifying the life of a prosperous farmer's wife and her family in Depression Era and pre-war middle America. Handwritten by Daisy H Woods nee Herrick wife to Mr. George Woods and mother to Dwight and John. Daisy and her family reside in Austinburg Township Ashtabula Ohio and her diaries span January 1st 1934 - December 25 1939 with the exception of her 1936 diary which is absent. Daisy is in her mid-40s a well-meaning Christian who far too often misses church! and the backbone of her comfortable hard-working family. Daisy's diaries paint a fascinating picture of rural life in the early 20th century Ohio living on a busy farm that backs into an large wooded expanse wherein the farm runs all year around - gardening and berry picking in the summer canning in the fall preparing and selling animals in the winter and tapping for maple syrup in the spring. Each family member plays a role. The boys and men work tirelessly building ploughing feeding animals and helping neighbouring farmers in exchange for help on their own land. The women or in this case the woman Daisy works too. She is the family sales representative making near-daily trips to nearby Geneva and "Ash" which is where she goes when she goes into town to sell the farm's bounty. Daisy sells butter cream chicken maple syrup and sausage and proudly records what she has sold each trip in her diary. She is also the chronicler of the weather. The day's weather tends to begin most of her journal entries. She is also a proud and loving mother who frets when her eldest son Dwight is away from home working and rejoicing when he returns home for visits or to stay and work. Since Dwight and husband George are away so often Daisy babies young John who she brings with on most of her outings to town and coddles when he becomes ill allowing him to stay home from school for longer than he needs to on a few occasions. The Woods family offers an alternative view on life during The Great Depression. They are not victims of the Depression. Rather they are thriving. They own a car a Dodge they wash their clothes in a washing machine they buy pigs from the neighbours and pick up odds and ends on most of their trips to town Daisy hosts traveling salesmen and considers purchases such as the Singer brand sweeper which she claims she "doesn't like at all". Through visitors to the Woods' home and farm readers are introduced to many of the local families of Austinberg Ohio. We meet the Hendersons the Goodwins the Warrens the Ranbels and many many more. Daisy's is something of a hub of social gatherings to the point that she will make frustrated note on days that she does not receive visitors. Perhaps this is why Daisy is so interesting. She is the consummate mother and hostess yet she bucks gender norms in other ways. Stated plainly Daisy just doesn't like to work very hard. Of course she churns butter. Of course she cleans and bakes. But
a common day for Daisy is one where she writes about bustling around and accomplishing little followed by a meticulous summary of how back breakingly hard the men of the house labored. For example on August 1st 1938 she describes the hard labour her sons and husband engaged in all day long and concludes with "I didn't do much all day". She makes plans she gest distracted the day passes her by yet her boys and husband are often gone for days at a time working in the woods on the farm in the fields. Daisy's affinity for avoiding work is exemplified during the months of January-March 1937 when the Woods family take in victims of the Ohio Flood of 1937. Daisy's friends Nerlie and Martha come to stay along with their husbands and children. The husbands help on the farm and Nerlie and Martha do Daisy's chores. In fact it's not until January 27 1937 that Daisy even alludes to the reason her friends and staying with her when she states "this flood disaster is getting worse and worse". Prior to that she simply lists off who did the ironing washing and cleaning each day. Later she gives more detail about the assistance she and her family gave to the flood victims but by late-February Daisy becomes bored with the charity and frustrated with her guests' children. On February 28 1937 14-year-old Jack is kept home from school sick by his mother and Daisy states "Jack stayed home sick Was able to watch every move any of us made
" funny because she would often keep her own son John home sick for any number of reasons!. Daisy finally finds relief on March 5: "well they finally got moved got away about noon". Daisy has kept a thorough and detailed account of her life and the life of the men she loves the friends she chats with and the world she inhabits. Her diaries give life the farmers of Ohio and to a class of people who work hard and manage to avoid the pitfalls of the Depression thriving when others flailed. All of the Woods diaries are in very good condition and in the back of some of them she has kept a ledger of funds in and out which give a sense of the commerce of the time. It is easy to imagine Daisy and John in Geneva selling butter and noting the buyer and the price in the back of the diary. These diaries are an important asset to the collection of anyone interested in the history of farming or of life in the early 20th century told from a woman's perspective.Overall G.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF DAISY H WOODS HERRICK Mrs. GEORGE WOODS OHIO WOODS HERRICK AUSTINBURG OHIO ASHTABULA COUNTY GENEVA OHIO FLOOD OHIO RIVER FLOOD RURAL LIFE FARM LIFE DEPRESSION ERA COMMERCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION FARMING FARMER GENDER ROLES GENDER STUDIES BUCKEYE STATE AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES JOURNAL LOG PRIMARY SOURCE FIRST HAND ACCOUNT SOCIAL HISTORY PERSONAL STORIES LIVING HISTORY 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 PAPELBIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY PERSONAL NARRATIVES . hardcover

DALE BARNUM
1909 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG RICHMOND INDIANA MAN WITH A FASCINATION FOR LOCAL CRIME AND POLITICS
RICHMOND INDIANA IN. Good. 1909. On offer is a very interesting original 1909 manuscript diary and journal handwritten by Dale Barnum of Richmond Indiana. Mr. Barnum is a young man using slang of the day. He writes about concerts and plays he attends and mentions seeing Mid Summer Nights Dream and says it was "punk". He is also extremely interested in local crime criminal arrests politics and current events which local collectors and historians of the Richmond Indiana area will appreciate. Here are some snippets: "42 arrests last mon - drunks." "12 counties voted dry this week 42 dry now." "Prof Trueblood and Rev. T. P. Walter in trouble. See Mar. 31 - in Feb. only 7 arrests for drunk. "Ed Nesmith arrested." "Cool but fine - Mamma worries about me." "The Railsback meek shooting affair. Father & son killed." "J. B. Gordon assaulted at 9 o'clock by Byram Robbins." "Earl Brown killed himself at 4 pm today see June 8." "Cabinet meeting. Earl Browns body found today." "The great tariff fight is on." "Commenced working 59 hrs. per week." "Picnic at the glen Ray Bess x Roy Maude x Will Frank x Ancil Eva B. x P. I and Vera B. A hot time. Pass the beans." "Harry Rife murdered Mrs. Griswald at Eaton." Casual research finds the specifics of this horrid crime: Harry Rife shot Mrs. Lida Griswald after she rejected his advances in the library where she worked in front of her son. He was sentenced to death and died in the electric chair in 1910. Dale also mentions this. The 4" x 3" and the outer cover has some issues the leather is dry and fragile and has torn in places but it is still complete and the pages are not affected. The handwriting is quite legible and there are 274 entries.

DALE SCHAFFTER [?]
1941 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A WOMAN WHO DETAILS THE NEVER ENDING HARD WORK OF LIVING ON A FARM AND THE SOMETIME CRUELTY OF THOSE SHE LIVES WITH IN AND AROUND THE AMISH AND MENNONITE COMMUNITIES OF OHIO
WOOSTER KIDRON ORRVILLE OHIO OH. Very Good. 1941. On offer is an original manuscript relic of another time and another era being a 1941 diary handwritten by we believe a woman detailing her life on the farm somewhere near Wooster Kidron and Orrville Ohio in and around the Amish and Mennonite communities. While unidentified in the book recent research suggests it is that she was Dale Schaffter who died in an Orrville Wayne Co. OH nursing home 23 Feb 1988 at age 98. In 1940 Ohio/Wayne County/Sugar Creek/Enumeration District 85-39 image 25 of 32 she was living in a household with her younger apparently not very kind! sister Blanche also not married age 46 her widowed perhaps divorced mother Elsie age 75 and "foster daughter" May Kiener age 16. They lived right next door to a Yoder family. Ohio death records indicate that Blanche also never married but Dale outlived her Blanche d. 07 Jul 1983 at age 89 in a hospital in Canton Stark Co. Ohio. The 1930 census shows the household headed by Augustus Schaffter a blacksmith age 67 and May Kiener is already with the family. The 1920 census includes a son Floyd b. ca1901--also mentioned in the excerpts. and her diary is typical of the time and the place mentioning cleaning baking and gardening with Mama often sewing and her chores and animals mostly pigs on the farm but there are some interesting anecdotal entries such as Blanche having some of her 'spells'. Her are some snippets: "I finished the dress that Wilma gave me except the belt. Dawn brought me a buckle for it cost .50. I sold her 3 dz. eggs at .18. I sent my sacks to be washed those Aunt Millie gave me. My pig feed was delivered from Nussbaum m's sic charges 3.20. I had Blanche get me a water fountain for chicks $1.60." She also mentions other women Blanche and May who I thought may be her sisters but her last entry for Dec. 31st would negate that. She also mentions a boy Floyd a few excerpts: "Mamma and I were canning beef all day. Blanche had another spell - ordered my and May's things out of the kitchen. I made the waist and sleeves for May's navy dress while I watched the processer sic. My 3rd peep died. Elva C. was here for Floyd taking him to spend weekend." Next day she wrote: "I canned more meat and worked at May's navy dress but didn't quite finish it. I sent with Blanche to Kidron for 200 lbs. chick starter at L.E. Sommers and 1 qt. cod liver oil. We have canned 41 qts. of beef an 6 pts." She also writes of when she and others went to church. Her everyday activities center around cleaning cooking baking and farming like most women's lives were like on a farm but this is distinctly different in the descriptions she provides of her clothes and other tangibles helping one to visualize what her day-to-day life was like. Oddly though hardly surprising given the nature of Amish life there is no mention of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. However in the last entries of December we note discord that may provide a better understanding of just what the relationship with Blanche was - and it was not an easy one. They may have been related somehow--Blanche Mama May and the writer of the diary or they lived together out of necessity or because it was the Amish way. Starting with a few lines on Dec. 29 1941 "Blanche took Mamma to Dalton to Uncle Als. I went along to Dalton Mill paid my bill and ordered mash and oats. ; Dec. 30 1941: "I went to Kidron with Blanche got grit for peeps 25 cts. and paid $20.00 on acc. at L.E.'s. I bought a gift for May to take to Banquet and gift exchange at the church 25 cts. May went to Akron with Ward and Elsie. My feed from Dalton Mill didn't come. May and I cleaned the brooder house." And finally but sadly Dec. 31 1941: "Feed delivered this evening. Uncle Al brought Mamma home Uncle Al dead funeral at Medina Jan 1 1942 2 P.M. I went to Paul Armst_____ P.M. for May. Lillie was here to tell me of a place May and I could go. Blanche ordered Mamma and I to sell our belongings and move."

DALE, Sir Alfred William Winterslow (1855-1926)
Typed Letter Signed
This English educator and author served as principal of University College in Liverpool 1899-1903 and long-time vice-chancellor at the University of Liverpool 1903-19; in 1903 he revised and edited a history of English Congregationalism written by his father the noted Congregationalist church leader Robert William Dale. TLS 1p 7" X 9" Liverpool England 7 November 1908. Addressed to Reverend Oliver Huckel 1864-1940 American Congregationalist clergyman and author. Very good. Faint original folds; mounting traces on verso. On University of Liverpool letterhead Dale discusses some cryptic but clearly delicate issue regarding his and Huckel's mutual friend the noted Scottish theologian P.T. Forsyth 1848-1921. In part ".the Council and Educational Board of Mansfield College. came to no final decision so your judgment will still be in time to help us. I fully appreciate all that you say of Forsyth who is a close friend of mine and was a neighbour for many years; but we cannot run the risk of moving a man of his age to Oxford to begin new work under totally new conditions. He has never been a strong man physically." Boldly signed. Most interesting -- Forsyth had preached at Mansfield College in January 1908 but what the sensitive issue under discussion here is unclear. unknown

Dalton Emmett. In collaboration with Jack Jungemeyer
When the Daltons Rode.
Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc 1931. First edition of Emmett Dalton's autobiography. Octavo original cloth with smoking gun vignette to the front panel pictorial endpapers frontispiece portrait of Emmett Dalton after a photograph taken in 1892. Signed by the author on the half-title page "Sincerely yours Emmett Dalton." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing. The Dalton brothers led one of the last gangs of horseback outlaws. Ironically three of them - Bob Grant and Emmett - started their careers as deputy marshals. They soon decided that more money could be made from horse rustling and in 1888 they organized a band that carried on a thriving trade. When they came under suspicion toward the end of 1890 the brothers went to California where on February 6 1891 at the small station of Aila they held up a Los Angeles-bound passenger train. The robbery failed when the baggage clerk excaped and the Daltons were unable to break into the safe. Grat was captured and sentenced to twenty years in prison but escaped from the train carrying him to Folsom. The gang resumed operations in Oklahoma where during the next two years they robbed three trains before turning to the more lucrative trade of bank robbery. Modeling their plans on the James brothers the Daltons struck the two banks at Coffeyville Kansas on October 5 1892 hoping as Bob said "to beat anything Jesse James ever did - rob two banks at once in broad daylight." However the identical fate that befell the James gang at Northfield Minnesota awaited the Daltons. Confronted with a large crowd of armed townsfolk the gang attempted to shoot its way to safety; in the battle Bob Gat and two other gang members were killed and Emmett was severely wounded and captured. It is the basis for the 1940 film directed by George Marshall and starring Randolph Scott Kay Francis and Brian Donlevy. Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc hardcover books

Stamp on front flyleaf 3 stamps on the title Note: Christian Tobias Damm 1699-1778 'Rector am köllnischen Gymnasium zu Berlin' 'im grauen Kloster' in the 'Klosterstrasse' was a solid classicist and one of the first German scholars who stressed the excellence of Greek literature and its language compared to Roman literature and language. He also stressed the necessity of imitating the Greek examples for the improvement of national education. He wanted to make the masterpieces of Greek poetry accessable for a general public with litteral and trusty translations. He produced a Lexicon Pindaricum and Novem lexicon Graecum etymologicum et reale cui pro basi substratae sunt concordantiae et elucidationes homericae et Pindaricae. Berlin 1765 He also made a much criticized translation of Homer. One critic accused him of having murdered Homer. He had more success with his manual of Greek and Roman mythology: 'Einleitung in die Götterlehre und Fabelgeschichte der ältesten griechischen und römischen Welt'. Berlin 1763 Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie 4 1876 p. 718 This manual remained in use in Germany well into the 19th century and was translated into Dutch and Norwegian. The manual was reissued several times in Holland. The Dutch publisher of this 1786 edition misunderstood 'Köllnisches Gymnasium' and had 'Koninglyk' Royal printed on the title page Collation: pi1 4 A-Z8 2A2 Photographs on request unknown

Dana James Jonathan Edwards
The “Examination of the Late Rev’d President Edwards’s Enquiry on Freedom of Will” Continued.
New Haven: Printed for Thomas and Samuel Green 1773. First edition of American Protestant clergyman James Dana's second published response to Jonathan Edwards' Inquiry into the Modern Prevailing Notions of the Freedom of the Will preceded by Dana's prior examination of the same subject published anonymously in 1770. Octavo original three-quarter period calf over marbled boards gilt titles to the spine morocco spine labels raised bands. A rare and desirable example illustrating the tensions that shaped the Evangelical Revival in eighteenth century America. Widely regarded as "one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians" American revivalist preacher Jonathan Edwards' theological work was firmly rooted in Reformed theology. In his major work The Freedom of the Will Edwards argued that although humanity possesses free will they are inherently depraved and bound to sin and therefore require divine guidance and grace. Regarded as inclining to Arminianism fellow Protestant clergyman James Dana first came into conflict with Edwards when he was ordained and and made pastor of Congregational Church in Wallingford Connecticut. Dana published his first Examination of Edwards' The Freedom of the Will anonymously in his continued Examination which revealed him as the author of both works Dana argued against Edwards' "denial of moral rational liberty; his distinction of natural and moral necessity and attributing the origin of evil to the want or withdraw of divine assistance."

Dang Van Xuan [MAO] et al
1950s to 1960s ORIGINAL MEMORY BOOK AND LETTER COPY BOOK OF A VIET CONG SOLDIER LEAVING HIS FRIENDS FOR THE WAR IN THE SOUTH
VIETNAM. Poor. 1955. On offer is a fascinating original manuscript relic of the early Vietnam War dating back from the mid to later 1950s to the early 1960s. Handwritten by a Vietcong soldier called Mao full name Ðang Van Xuân the book is comprised of poems letter copies and diary like entries and pages that remind one of memorial albums with entries by friends and admirers with whom he studied political courses by the Communist Party in Hanoi for 3 years. The writings include; sentimental patriotic love poems about the role of love in war and love in general; also the lyrics of popular songs which our research finds are still known in Vietnam today. Our research suggests he lives in the North and the book commemorates that he is going far away. We know he is heading South on a 'mission' and likely combat as names mentioned include southern provinces: 'Nghe An' and 'Ha Tinh'. Interestingly the book had a dual purpose. When reversed the last 10 pages or so were used for mounting stamps; tax stamps payroll stamps we can only surmise but the stamps have since been removed but not by us. The book is in poor shape the text block loose but all accounted for. Some old water damage but all the narrative and entries are legible.; Vietnamese; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF FRENCH INDOCHINA VIETNAM WAR VC VAN SAM BAO TIEN PHONG TANG VIET MINH COMMUNIST PARTY VIET NAM ÐEC LEP ÐENG MINH HEI LEAGUE FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF VIETNAM COMMUNIST NGHE AN HA TINH BATTLE OF ÐIEN BIÊN PHE HE CHÍ MINH NGÔ ÐÌNH DIEM EMPEROR BEO ÐEI DINH VAN SAM VIET CONG CHONG COMMANDOS KHANG KE TOAN TRINH SAT BORDER RECON DINH VAN SAM HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES 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
