‎1846 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTERS 2 HANDWRITTEN BY ONE OF ALABAMA'S LEADING COTTON FACTORS AND WHY COTTON WAS INDEED KING IN MOBILE‎

‎MOBILE ALABAMA 1846. On offer is a super original significant 1846 autographed pair 2 of manuscript stampless letters dated Mobile Alabama handwritten by John B. Toulmin to Abraham Bell & Son New York City. The business letters from one of the leading cotton factors in 19th Century Mobile Alabama exemplify the importance of the cotton trade shows the international nature of cotton and how a receivable from New York City even in 1846 could affect claims in Mobile a commercial town filled lawyers factors merchants and professionals serving the cotton trade's needs. Mobile in the 1840s was the second busiest cotton port after New Orleans. It was also an important slave trade center. The primary letter from Toulmin to Bell & Son and the second is a copy of another letter involving the same topic between two lawyers. Written in haste a bit of a challenge; here are snippets: "By Mail P. Paid Mobile Decm 1: 1846 Messrs A. Bell & Son 12/8 Dear Sirs There is a quick introductory statement about a sight draft and 200 bales of cotton Toulmin then says "There is again no Eastern Mail." A specific mail carried east by steamship He mentions a "copy of a letter to Hiram Barney Esq. New - York." Another letter has been appended to this one "It explains itself. For the benefit of my Estate I wish to Purchase the claim on Austill Jeremiah Austill 1794-1881 was an Alabama folk hero who as a 19 year participated in the Canoe Fight with the Creeks in 1813 and was the night courier between the forts in the Creek Country. He later was a merchant planter county clerk and state Representative and Senator. if it be had for a trifle like many ante-bellum Americans Toulmin is trying to make money by buying debt If Robert Hamilton controls the claim likely a merchant in NYC perhaps you can ascertain and inform me where he is to be found. I learn that he is in but cannot tell where. He was formerly of New York I am Dear sirs Resp lly yours J.B. Toulmin". The second letter is on the next page and listed as "Copy" "Mobile Nov 25 1846 Hiram Barney Esq. Hiram Barney 1811-1895 was born in Henderson New York and graduated from Union College in 1834. He was an active lawyer in New York City for many years and an abolitionist leader. He ran for Congress on the Anti-Slavery ticket in 1840 and was a Presidential Elector for the Free Soil Party in 1848 and was a delegate to the Republican National conventions in 1856 and 1860. Barney met privately with Abraham Lincoln in Springfield after the nomination representing New York interests in Cabinet appointments. I presume upon the acquaintance that has arisen through our brief correspondence both are lawyers to ask a professional favor. If it result in ascertaining that nothing can be done it will give you very little trouble. If it to useful results we can secure you a reasonable fee. Hamilton & Cole not identified of your city took the benefit of the general bankrupt law in New York. Jeremiah Austill see above of our city owed them a large sum I think $8000.00 or more ------ But Messrs Hamilton & Cole previous to the assignment by the bank had made an assignment in New York to one Robert Hamilton in trust for their creditors Robert Hamilton not known if related to Hamilton & Cole has bought debts owed to H & C for less than face value hoping to get more monies when paid by creditors Whether Austill's debt was then assigned is not certain. Now will you ascertain 1.Was Austill's debt contained in the schedule in bankruptcy -- Is it was 2. Was it sold at the assignors sale and who was the purchaser If it was sold then we wish to buy up the claim provided it can be obtained for a small sum. Nobody wants to pay much for the debt It is in the way of another claim here. Key point-- Austill's debt to H & C is blocking another claim in Mobile so people in Mobile want to get it. If the purchaser can be found and an offer be made here in such a as not to excite in him expectations such orders shall be forwarded as shall enable you to process the assignment and satisfy you for the trouble you may have occasion to take.

‎JOHN BARTLETT MESERVE‎

‎1930s ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT HISTORY OF NATIVE INDIANS OF THE SOUTH EASTERN USA WRITTEN BY A NOTED HISTORIAN AND JURIST OF OKLAHOMA‎

‎TULSA OKLAHOMA SOUTH WEST USA. Good. 1935. On offer is a rare and fascinating manuscript by a noted lawyer judge and historian in the United States. Dating from the 1930s this outstanding manuscript is typed on 8.5 inch by 11 inch pages and bound in a 3 inch 3-ring binder. It contains approximately 250 sheets of paper; 3 ring punched typed 1 side only. Included in the manuscript are 39 black and white illustrations. The binder is in good condition and the pages are all intact save for the title page which is loose. The manuscript is typed with handwritten editing changes noted on various pages. John Bartlett Meserve was a noted American lawyer. He was a member American and Oklahoma State bar associations the Oklahoma Society S.A.R. state president 1928 the Oklahoma State History Society director and the N.H. State History Society. Later in his career he was a judge serving in Tulsa Oklahoma. Outside of his distinguished legal career Meserve was a recognized historian who made significant contributions to the study of the history of the native people of southeastern United States - the Cherokee Creek Chickasaw Choctaw and Seminole peoples. His was a regular contributing author to the Chronicles of Oklahoma the official journal of the Oklahoma Historical Society. His is also a published author with a number of credits to his name - all revolving around the history of the "Five Tribes" of the U.S. southeast. This manuscript is a biography of notable leaders of the Cherokee and Creek people. It is organized into 19 separate chapters. His goals are laid out in the Foreword: The life stories of such Indian Chieftains are of historical significance; some of them were calm thoughtful and discerning leaders possessing an intelligence equal to if not above that of many of their white oppressors and rendered a service of sterling worth; some were indifferent; some were bad . Biography is said to be the alphabet of history. With that thought in mind a portrayal of the lives of these Indian leaders in the historic background in which they moved should mirror the emotions of these simple people. Their history becomes fossilized in the cold narration of facts. Foreword The first two chapters entitled Early Controversy and Lawless Days in the Indian Territory set the historical stage. Pagination of this manuscript restarts with each chapter. Once the stage is set he begins with 17 individual biographies of men whom he considers significant leaders within these two nations. Included in his list are Sequoyah John Ross William Potter Hoas Lewis Downing Charles Thompson Dennis Wolfe Bushyhead Joel Bryan Mayes Colonel Johnson Harris Samuel Houston Mayes Thomas Mitchell Buffington William Charles Rogers Opothleyahola The McIntosh Dynasty Samuel Chicote The Perrymans Iaparhecher and Pleasant Porter . The anglicized names reflect the long interaction between the Cherokee and Creek people and very early colonists and explorers. These men are very much full members of their respective Indian nations. Some of the Chapters were separately published as stand-alone articles in the Chronicles of Oklahoma. The chapters contain photographs of the subject of that chapter original buildings drawings and maps. There are 39 in total. There are many editing changes and notations. For a historian this is an absolute treasure trove. Meserve is a meticulous researcher bringing a trained legal eye for details to a task that he is obviously passionate about. Researchers keen to understand the history of these peoples will find a wealth of details within the manuscript which will shed light on a tumultuous time in the growth of the United States. It will certainly shed light on the foundations of issues that are of significant national interest to this day.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF COLONIAL CANADA BATTLE OF THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM; SEVEN YEARS WAR; FRENCH INDIAN WARS; ELIPHELET COFFIN; GENERAL JAMES WOLFE; VICE-ADMIRAL CHARLES SAUNDERS; LOUIS-JOSEPH DE MONTCALM UPPER CANADA LOWER CANADA PRE REVOLUTIONARY WARS FRANCE VERSUS ENGLAND NORTH AMERICA PRE CONFEDERATION CANADIANA QUEBEC 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

‎1873 - 1886 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT AND PHOTOGRAPHIC RETROSPECTIVE MEMOIR OF A BOSTON BORN MAINE MAN‎

‎Mechanic Falls Maine. Good. 1873. On offer is a simply superb collection of photographs from the later part of the 19th century. This volume is actually a small 3-ring binder measuring 5 inches by 3 inches. The volume consists of 64 pages and is 100% complete. The handwriting is actually printing and it it perfectly legible. John D Beal was born in Mechanics Falls ME in 1873. His family moved to Boston about a year later. Casual research has not found any additional biographical data. This volume includes a mix of excellent photographs and general commentary of events from the year of his birth until 1885. This was clearly put together when Beal was much older as the commentary and descriptions are very well-written and at a level beyond a 12 year old. The photographs are all annotated and there are many local references: Mechanic Falls in the eighteen seventies was a lively manufacturing town. The Dennison Paper Co. Running night and day shoe factory Winslow Canning Factory Penny Machine Co cheese factory washboard factory and in 1875 the Evans Repeating Rifle Co. Started. Father moved back to Mechanic Falls from So. Boston to take charge of the stock room of the Rife Co. "Uncle Al and Richard Dean lived with us in the Chelsea St. House. Uncle Al at the time was working as an engineer in CW Cobb Bros. Wholesale & Retail Grocers Washington St. Boston Mass. . Uncle Will Aunt Lel-Blanche and Ethel Dean lived on the other side of the house. ." Pictures of people have all the individuals named. Photographs of buildings have notes regarding who lived there or events that occurred there - e.g. a fire. He also notes larger events such as the change to standard time or the appearance of a comet: "Haverhill Bulletin Nov 19th 1883 New Standard Time - The transition from the old to the new standard of time was attended with but very little disturbance . Each man had his watch in his hand to 'set it right and it is safe to say that for once at least noon watches and clocks in town indicated more correct than ever before. ."; "The Great Comet of 1882 - The comet was conspicuously visible to the naked eye for some weeks in September and altogether remained in sight for the for the long period of nine months. ." Another personal entry: "Nov 22nd 1883 - Father died ." Historians or researchers in urban history of history of the late 19th century or early American industrialization would find this to be an outstanding resource. The observations are keen the photographs are well-referenced and the descriptions are thorough. As noted above there are many individuals and businesses mentioned which make this an excellent resource for cross-referencing.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1870s 1880s GILDED AGE INDUSTRIALIZATION JOHN D.

‎ARCHIVE OF TWELVE 12 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTERS TO AND FROM JOHN BRUEN GRANDSON OF AN ESCAPED SLAVE AND HONORED CHRONICLER OF THE STRUGGLE FOR BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS IN 1960s AMERICA.‎

‎Geshen NY New York. Good. 1960. On offer are the powerful and significant letters of John Bruen Senior the grandson of an escaped slave and an exceptional chronicler of African American life and struggle in 1960s America. In these 12 letters all but one written to Bruen and with their original envelopes Bruen writes about and responds to the tremendous changes occurring in 1960s America and the struggle for civil rights for African Americans. All but two letters are complete. Most telling of the letters is the one in which Bruen writes. He writes it in response to someone asking for advice on how to inspire a young person. Bruen writes "…Make him know that you are proud of him even though his skin is colored. So many times a worthy champion's deeds are recognized too late like bringing flowers to the dead when they cannot smell them. I hope this isn't too long to print in your and our We who love the Ring magazine. I want to show this to so many of the…boosters…I can't say all this to them because they won't give me the chance but they'll read it and I'll see that they do. Ever a Ring Reader John Bruen Sr." This is the last page of a 3-page letter. The first two pages are missing. The rest of the 12 letters in this archive were written to Bruen. Ethel Agnew of Beacon NY makes up a number of these letters to to Bruen. She sent along copies of her poems decrying the hatred of racism some of which were published in newspapers. One such poem published on Nov. 18 1960 was in reference to Mrs. Hattie Hallowell 83 who was detained in jail for more than three years for mishandling $2000. "Daily we read of those involved in the mishandling of far greater sums who never see the inside of a jail." In the other letter she sent to Bruen she writes "…I like best the term 'colored' not solely because the NAACP sanctions it but in this modern day it is more correct. You for instance have a trace of Indian blood. I have also in my case and it shows only in facial structure high cheek bones and sometimes in my disposition.I note in 'Ebony' that Jallulah…refers to the Negroes in the South and there is an article 'The Negro in Russia. You sure get around-quite a feather in your cap too to be chosen to cover such greats as Ingo and Rocky." This is in reference to boxers Ingemar Johansson and Rocky Marciano. In yet another letter she comments about a man of prejudice "…I was thinking of writing him to say that most of the colored folks of my acquaintance are so busy with church work and with trying to make a living that they have not time to be vituperative-they leave that to such as he…It was as well perhaps that I didn't write." Bruen received received two letters from Ernestine Manuel at Hampton Institute who was helped by the Du-Rite Club in the fall of 1941. Hampton Institute was a college for African Americans. "…Words cannot be found to show you how thankful I am for all that you have done. Hampton Institute is a beautiful place…" A 2 page letter from the Royal Jewel Club an organization apparently for African Americans at the time solicits funds for a "Bethany Chapel". The Du Rite Club with which Bruen was affiliated contributed $5. In a one-page partial letter written to Bruen about his column the writer takes issue with Bruen and his beliefs: "…What is a white skin when underneath a person is rotten to the core. I have many friends among your people have worked with them for years and can understand their feelings toward us whites but acting with hate destroying property and looting doesn't make it any easier. I'm sure that the Colored people want the whites to fear them…I'd like to have my people and yours being one and live together in peace. The preaching of Stokely Carmichael and Hubert Brown is just filling your people with deathly poison. Any intelligence and normal thinking persons would shy away from such teachings. Of course there are whites also who do the destroying and looting so the blacks get the blame…And with the dope LSD and others no one knows what will happen next. And the leaders with their hate preaching doesn't help your people any." Despite being from a number of different people all the letters are easily readable and in excellent condition complete with their original envelopes. All of them are folded in some sort. Background: Bruen was born April 30 1906 and died on May 14 1998. He was a self-educated man who attended a school for African Americans in Goshen NY where he would live his whole life through the fourth grade then moved to an integrated public school. Bruen fed and groomed horses at the race track before school. He left school at 16 with an eighth-grade education and began working for the Erie Railroad working his whole life for them and finally retiring in 1971. In 1925 he married Gertrude Van Dyke and they had six children. Bruen's grandfather was a runaway slave who had shown John the scars on his back from the whippings he had received as a slave and which remained on him until the day he died. Bruen rose to prominence as a chronicler of African-American life and received many honors during his life. He became the first black columnist to write for the Independent Republican starting in 1959 and continuing until shortly before his death. Through his column "Bruen's Hash" he sought to eliminate discrimination and educate all people on the experiences and struggles of African Americans. He was an exceptional athlete in boxing and baseball playing on and coaching local teams. For several years he was president of the semi-pro Orange Ulster Baseball League. He was a sportswriter for the Middletown Daily Record and The Times Herald-Record for 20 years. By the time of his death Bruen had built a personal collection of over 2000 volumes of black history.; Manuscript; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF JOHN BRUEN SENIOR SLAVERY IN AMERICA SLAVERY AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY TREE PERSON OF COLOR STRUGGLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS 1960S AMERICA BLACK AMERICANA BRUEN'S HASH DU-RITE CLUB BLACK FAMILIES IN 20TH CENTURY AMERICA AMERICAN SPORTSWRITERS UNITED STATES RACE RELATIONS CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT CIVIL WAR EMANCIPATION COLORED PEOPLE NEGROES RACE RELATIONS AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL 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 . unknown‎

‎SITKA ALASKA AK HAVRE MONTANA USA. Very Good. 1941. On offer is a very interesting very bluntly written detailed World War II manuscript diary handwritten John C. Troy 39601846 from Havre Montana. Using a large 5½ x7 ½ x 1 ¼ premium "My Year in the Army" undated journal with his name and city gilt stamped on the cover Mr. Troy is a character and has quite some personality which he unabashedly shares with his diary. Using the free endpapers he sets the tone when he writes: "Sitka Alaska The home of many fishermen. It has four bars three whore houses three whiskey stores and three cafes. When it's the army's pay day one has a hard time in finding room in any of them." For the most part the book is about 90% diary but as it is undated he uses it as a 'catchall' too - names addresses autographs drawings maps poetry transcribed songs and much much more. He also peppers the narrative with little stickers much like small postcards all of the Sitka area. He writes as little as a paragraph sometimes many pages on a particular day. Beginning with "Here it is the army life and likes and dislikes of it." he starts on April 10th 1941 declaring the "largest hangover of my life" through to late April 1942 all the while in Naval Air Station Sitka. He writes on every facing page and then doubles back when he reaches the end creating a massive 300 pages in all.

‎JOHN CLARK‎

‎1861 ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR ERA DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A NOTED MERCHANT AND JUSTICE OF THE PEACE IN CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE NEAR FORT EDWARD‎

‎ARGYLE NY FORT EDWARD. Good. 1861. On hand is a rare original handwritten diary dating from the American Civil War. Measuring 4.5 inches by 2.75 inches it contains 122 pages plus memoranda. The cover and pages are in good condition and the binding is intact. The handwriting is dense but legible. In 1861 John Clark is living in Argyle a village in central New York state. He was born in Hebron NY in 1805. He spent most of his adult life working as a merchant. He also farmed in the area. He moved to nearby Fort Edward where he served as Justice of the Peace. His diary reflects some of that work. 1861 was also a time of political crisis with the United States on the verge of civil war. He references this as well in his entries. ". at trial of $1000 notes said to be forged . " Jan 31; ". Went to Argyle to attend the drawing of a jury for the next session ." Feb 16. ". the papers are full of exciting news from the South. With all that can be possibly be conceded I feel civil war will be the result. Things look very for peace. . It will be a fearful hazard . extirpating the curse of slavery from the bounds of this great nation ." Jan 9; ". Country still in commotion. Some for peace many others for war. ." Jan24; ". Read a good deal the news of our country is very interesting - the breaking up of our government is no trifling thing ." Jan 25; ". the affairs of our country are very dark indeed" Jan 26. Other entries refer to his business and his farming: ". business has been good today ship eggs potatoes and boots ." Apr 12. In fact the Civil War began on this date. ". sold a good many boots the news for the war is ." July 13. In 1864 John Clark did in fact end up enlisting in the U.S. 7th Cavalry. In the several memoranda pages he keeps track of some expenditures giving some sense of the costs of various items at that time. For a historian studying the days and months leading up to the beginning of the American civil war this is an outstanding journal. Even in a small isolated rural community the news travelled quickly and was obviously hotly debated. A social historian would find the daily recounting of events and tasks paints a very good picture of life in rural upstate New York at the time of the Civil War.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1860S MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY IN AMERICA JOHN CLARK; WASHINGTON COUNTY NY; AMERICAN CIVIL WAR; U.S. 7TH CAVALRY ARGYLE NY; JUSTICE OF PEACE WASHINGTON COUNTY NY; ANTEBELLUM ERA UNION ARMY ANTI-SLAVERY SENTIMENT IN THE NORTHERN STATES; POPULAR MOOD IN THE PRE-CIVIL WAR AMERICAN NORTH; FARMERS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK IN THE MID-19TH CENTURY; FARMING; PRICES IN THE EARLY 1860S IN THE UNITED STATES; UPSTATE NEW YORK; RURAL LIFE BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR; 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

‎JOHN CLIFFORD QUEMAN‎

‎1914 - 1920 ORIGINAL HISTORIC MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND JOURNAL OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER WHO SERVES HIS COUNTRY FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER WAR TO THE BATTLEFIELDS OF FRANCE AND GERMANY IN WWI‎

‎COLUMBUS NEW MEXICO THEN FRANCE AND GERMANY. Good. 1914. On offer is a sensational historical manuscript journal and diary handwritten by John C. Queman of Kutztown Pennsylvania a US Army soldier who served first in the 13th Cavalry on the Mexican border in Columbus New Mexico from Dec. 30 1914 to Sept. 23 1916 and later during World War I in France and Germany as a truck driver for Truck Co. #14 Sept. 23 1916- Oct. 8 1917 Truck co. #7 Oct. 8 1917 - March 11 1918 and AEF Truck Co. 2nd Division supply trains Mar. 1 1918 - Mar. 10 1920. This is a truly unique memorial to one man's service to his country in a number of important areas. Half of the 59 pages written in the massive folio journal retells his service during the Mexican Border War wherein Queman writes very detailed riveting first hand account of Pancho Villa's raid on the town of Columbus New Mexico on March 9th 1916 where he was stationed and then he writes all about the pursuit of Pancho Villa into Mexico. We learn that he learns how to ride a horse and take care of it though it dies later on. Here are some snippets: Dec. 30 1914: enlists in US. Army at Ft. Slocum City NY. Fitted in uniform and shoes three sizes too large. Jan. 13 1915: leaves New York on ship "Amarillo" to New Orleans for border 13th cavalry band. Jan. 18: on train to El Paso then to Columbus New Mexico. Jan. 22: sent to hospital as sick with tonsillitis. Jan. 24: "cowboy raised hell in town shooting Sheriff Halsey shot back and the cowboy got hurt left arm and leg army hospital enough taken." Feb. 3 back on duty. Feb. 4: learns to ride & care for horse and equipment. Complains of blisters. Describes country as hot-sunshine every day-sand blowing in his face. Doesn't get along with Chief Musician Mr. Luedthe as he is grouch and he can't play well enough to suit him. Oct. meets nice girl Kate Powers visiting her uncle here. Jan. 1 1916: Happy New Year. Took Kate to costume dance and had a dandy time. Got arrested at 1 a.m. not guilty of shooting and released. Jan. 5: took Kate to dance at Benevolent Order of Bees Club. "Mexican girl thought I was Elmer & tried to stick a knife in me. No luck- Kate got the knife as a souvenir." Jan 25: mounted rehearsal in a.m. guard mount. Feb. 16: "Capt. Davis left for Greece diplomatic position band. Played farewell concert at Golden State Ltd. Dorothy Stayt on same train concert in camp."

Mar. 8: "Villa scare seems to be a joke everybody laughs but Red Cheener and he thinks it is a fact and says it can happen." Mar. 9: "at 4:00 a.m. we got a call to rise rather loud as it was a shot followed by a general firing all around town and camp shots and cries of Viva Villa Viva Mexico and bullets rattling on our roof dressing in the dark and trying to get on a gun and belt took a few minutes and the dirty yellow bellies were all over camp and town. Then it was a case of keep your head and shut your mouth shoot anybody who yelled Viva or spoke Mex. It was a regular hell for a while nearly a hand to hand fight. It did not take long to drive them out of camp but they put up a fight in town and set fire to the grocery store and warehouse of Lemmon and Romney. Then the commercial hotel dragging out Mr. Richie the proprietor and killing him in front of his wife and also killed two guests of the hotel. Four men made their escape also guests. Two men cooks in the restaurant made their escape by playing Mex. and sneaking away. Three other citizens were killed on the streets trying to find safety. The Mex. made it easier for the troopers by yelling and calling in the streets in the firelight and offered good targets. They were finally driven out of town and made a stand in a dry irrigation ditch on the west side of town. Major Tompkins came thru them with a 45 in his hand firing as he went and joined the troops. Finally the Mex retreated to a rocky rise of ground west of camp and made a short stand as daylight was breaking retreating towards the line they passed the home of Mr. Moore as he came out to look he was stabbed and shot his wife tried to make her escape was shot thru the hip and was in a serious condition when found as their home was about 2 mi. from camp. Capt Stedge had a detachment at the border three miles away but was unable to come in but Benson and men under his command rode into them as they retreated and made every shot count. Lt. Benson received a wound in the arm otherwise no casualties there. In camp eight men were killed in town 8 civilians. There were 150 soldiers in camp the balance were scattered along the border on patrol. There were about 150 Mex. men killed and eight wounded. Six died of wounds. Six healthy prisoners. All to be hanged for murder after they are tried by law. Sgt. John Nevergelt & Cpl. Paul Simon were two killed bandmen. Major Tompkins led a pursuit but was force to return as he had not enough men. Villa was wounded" March 10: "Everybody tired but ready for more. Cleaning up oh what a job. Dead shicks all over town and camp. Dead horse and equipment everywhere. I am doing guard over the prisoners. One died while I was on." Mar. 11: "Everything quiet 1 more dead prisoner. We play a concert today. Colonel Slocum says the men need it music both charms and soothes the savage beast not after what we have seen. Funeral of our fallen comrades light." Mar. 12: "Sgt. Dobbs body held for identification sent to his folks today. One Mex. wounded sent to Ft. Bliss hospital with gangrene. After no reinforcements still burning bodies of dead Mex." Mar. 13: "Field art. arrived last night. Infantry this a.m. 8 oclock. Camp is a busy place." Mar. 14: "Cav. and Inf. reinforcement still arriving in looks like a chase for old Pancho." Mar. 15: "20th. Inf. 13th Cav. and eliven damn cliff. I guess I missed something 11th Cav. 5th Cav. 4th F.A. Mountain Battery 6th F.A. enter Mexico. I am on guard." Mar. 16: "Troops 32 mil. south of international line. Trail of raiders easy to follow as their horses and men are dropping by the way." Mar. 17: "packing and shipping Capt. Geo. Williams property" March 18: "Col. Slocum's property." Mar. 19: "Troops going good 70 mi. south. 1st squadron arrives from Big Bend. Glad to be here sorry to be late. Col. Rivers said shame an awful shame too bad gave them a likin good." Mar. 20: "troops 100 miles south. Busy storing 1st Squadron property. Troops at Colonia Dulban Mexico. Rumours of hardships." Mar. 21: "Radio apparatus arrived wireless messages can be sent to pacific fleet." Mar. 26: "report troops are gaining on raiders." Mar. 28: "Col. Dodd has engagement with Guerrero with Mexicans." Apr. 1: "rumors of close chase south." 2: "Major Tompkin's has engagement at Parrall losing two men and himself wounded. Report that Villa is dead of wounds." The continues with detailed reports of the troop's movements the raids the officers involved men lost etc. all with Queman's insightful and keen eyed observations. He describes the landscape the weather his aches and pains he drives an army truck transporting anything and everything for the troops and then repairs his own truck when it breaks down. He is a super diarist! Jan. 28 1917: ".roads are choked in places with Mexicans & Chinks refugees who have found out the Americans are leaving the country and they won't stay there either. On burros oxen & ponies. The greatest thing was a burro with a double hamper one on each side and a child in each basket." June 22 1917 he writes about being arrested in Arizona for a shooting along the railroad. "Still under arrest as no one will squeal who done the shooting. Then released July 3rd. Queman left for overseas duty by way of San Antonio on Oct. 1 1917 he writes about his inoculations and transfer to Co. #7 then train to Chicmaugua Georgia. Drills cold weather hell. He writes: Dec. 2 1917 "Sherman when he said 'war is hell' told the truth but this is worse." Dec. 22. 1917: "After more than two months of hell we are off 3:45 a.m. and as squad leader of #1." Dec. 26: arrives in camp Merritt NJ and makes trip to Kutztown to say goodbye to relatives. His account of his service as a truck driver in France and Germany during WWI travels with the service are no less interesting as his Mexican adventures and he also manages to inform the reader of many interesting facts in history he picks up along the way: He arrived in Manchester England aboard the HMS Aurania. He drove a truck in France transporting officers artillery hay wood rations liquor you name it. Places he "made runs to" include Recourt Vitry St. Francois Souilly Ducey Montaigny Chateau Thierry sector Montreuil aux Lyons Taule Suisse Luxemborg Germany and more. He saw action everywhere and wrote specifics; all about the horror of the war the battles how many were wounded and killed the Kaiser the Germans the Allies. On Aug. 10 1917 he lands in the hospital with appendicitis then is furloughed to the regular army reserve on March 10 1920. He left for Kutztown PA with an old buddy Fred Hamilton of NC and on June 12 1920 became a married person and is discharged from the army. Signed on the last page by "John Clifford Queman." After the war he went on to work for Packard Motor Company Schlenker Motor Kutztown Foundry and then farming. Adding even more depth to this fascinating narrative are a number of ephemeral pieces including: 25 vintage real photo postcards he collected and stored in his journal of Columbus NM France his comrades etc.; an April 7 1917 issue of the San Antonio newspaper with the headline "United States at war with Germany - prepares forces for long struggle." Includes his pay record book occupation: chauffeur . Condition wise the journal is in very good clean condition. The pages are clean and tight to binding. Measures 8 3/4" x 14 1/8".
