WILBUR A SMITH
1931 1934 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES 2 HANDWRITTEN BY A WELL ACQUAINTED ARKANSAS BUSINESSMAN WITH FINGERS IN OIL TRANSPORTATION AND INSURANCE AND WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY AND STATE WITH DISTINCTION
LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS. Good. 1931. On offer are 2 diaries of a southern businessman with clear links to his state government. Dating from the 1930's these small volumes measure 4 1/2 inches by 3 inches and 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches respectively. They each contain 52 pages plus memoranda and are 100% complete. The handwriting is small but legible. Wilbur A Smith was a businessman in Little Rock AR in the 1930's. He notes that he was born in 1866 and a Wilbur A. Smith born that year is recorded as having died in 1940. He mentions his wife Lucy and a daughter Lucille. Based on this information it can be said with surety that the author is Wilbur Andrew Smith 1866-1940 grandson of William Andrew "Uncle Billy" Smith who was a pioneer of eastern oil and helped Edwin Drake to drill the first oil well starting the oil boom. Wilbur himelf was a noted businessman prominent in Arkansas transportation business. According to "Arkansas Democrat" he was born in Titusville PA at the age of 26 he was assistant superintendant at the John Hancock Fire Insurance Company for Buffalo in 1900 he became a manager of small picture theater "Lyric" in Little Rock and by 1918 became an owner of one of the largest auto liveries in the South and of a mammoth Smith Auto Livery Garage since 1920s he owned the Smith-Arkansas Traveler Bus Lines then the largest motor coach operation in the state of Arkansas. He was married to Lucy M. King from Franklin they had a daughter Lucille and a son Harry W. Smith who served in Arkansas National Guard participated in Mexican war and WW1 and is mentioned in relation to the last lynching in Little Rock in 1927 when he was one of the officers leading Arkansas guardsmen that dispersed a rioting mob. Since January 1937 Wilbur was a superintendent of the Arkansas State Capitol. He keeps a meticulous if brief daily record of happenings in his life. He notes that he is in his office most days of the week - Saturday and Sundays included. Here he meets quite a number of people although the nature of their business is not recorded: "Office 9 to 12 noon. Lake Side Directors Mtg 12:15 to 2 P.M. Office Bal of Day Mitchell in Army Navy Club" Jan 13 1931 "At Joes office and Wilson's office. Settled claim . " Jan 21 1931. He spends a great deal of time at the State Capitol building visiting frequently: "Office 6:40 A. M. Will B and R. Kirby called . " Apr 5 1931. In October of 1931 he makes several references to canvassing for an electoral candidate. His activities at the State Capitol continued in 1934. For months he makes repeated references to a "State Cap job" where he attended from about 7:30 until 4:00 PM. Part of his role is apparently to reduce the workforce which certainly reflects the impact of the Depression: "On State Cap job to help lay off." Jan 20 1934 "Went to Cap job to stop men going to work . " Jan 26 1934. "At State Cap job 7:30 til 3:30. Let 10 painters go" Feb 14 1934/ "On job St Cap 7 AM til 5:30. 22 men laid off" Feb 22 1934 His affairs take him out of town and trips include to Brinkley Texarkana and St. Louis. On one trip to Marion he comments: "Went to Marion 10 AM till noon. Kirby and I met a bunch of hill billies ." Jan 7 1934 "In late 1934 he notes transfer of prisoners and meeting at US Marshall's office and at Governor's office. As well on at least 2 occasions he is involved in the transfer of prisoners. All-in-all these are 2 fascinating diaries that paint a picture of a man very much involved in his community. An urban or social historian would find it a valuable resource illustrating business life in the American South during the Depression. His connection to the State government would be very interesting to explore as it seems that he has a lot of influence and/or power. This would be an intriguing aspect of the state government history during the Depression to investigate as well.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY 1930s GREAT DEPRESSION UNITED STATES PULASKI COUNTY WILBUR A.

WILDE, Cornel (1915-89)

This leading man reached the height of his popularity in the 1940s in films such as "A Song to Remember" for which he was nominated for best actor Oscar and "The Bandit of Sherwood Forest"; later he produced and directed films among them "The Naked Prey" in which he also starred. TLS "Cornel" 2pp 8" X 10" "Emblem Productions Limited" letterhead Iver Heath Britain 1962 November 2. Addressed to Don Woolf of California Artists. Very good. Writing to a company that produced Christmas cards featuring original art work by film stars a perturbed Wilde discusses in detail how cards featuring his paintings might be shipped to him in England in time to be mailed out for Christmas. Interesting and odd. Also notes: "All has gone very well with our film and I think we will have something really quite terrific. unknown

WILEY J WOOLFORD
1927 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ARCHIVE OF 14 LETTERS BY THE BAD BOY OF THE FAMILY SEEKING KIND WORDS AND MONEY FROM HIS AUNT WHILE HE AWAITS COURT MARTIAL FOR DESERTION
STATION HOSPITAL SCOTT FIELD BELLEVILLE ILLINOIS. Good. 1927. On offer is a super fascinating group of 14 manuscript letters handwritten by Wiley J. Woolford writing from Station Hospital Scott Field Belleville Illinois to his aunt Miss Mary Woodford of Sparta Illinois. The 1927 letters give the sense that Wiley was the 'black sheep' of the family and had a reputation for causing trouble or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Casual research finds that he and six other men pleaded guilty to drunken charges in Benton Harbor. He was stationed at Station Hospital on a charge of desertion that almost got him a dishonorable discharge but he was found not guilty. Many of the people in his hometown were supposedly gossiping and rumor mongering which he condemns in his letters. Wiley also hits his Aunt up for money and is looking for a way out of the army. His last letter is intriguing because it seems that his Aunt has decided not to have anymore contact with him. Here are some snippets: "September 8th 1927. My Dear Aunt A few lines to let you know that I got your letter and sure was glad to get it for I was beginning to think you had forgotten to write anymore. I was just getting ready to come down to find out what was the reason you hadn't answered
Oh yes be sure and try to let me know a few days before you come up so I won't be busy on that day. Tell Mrs. Crawford that my friend Mac is still here and is well but as I have chosen a different pardner now. I don't pay much attention to him for as I have found out by watching him that he isn't much good. So it isn't a very good policy to associate with them kind to much for it will lead to no good. I have got it in my head that I am going to go straight from now on and no one is going to change me. I'm feeling better now than I have for a long time. Am gaining in health and also in weight. Have no desire to drink and carouse around anymore like I did before joining the army
.Good Bye Answer soon and tell me all of the late city news. From Wiley." "November 14th 1927 Dearest Aunt
This sure is some awful miserable old world is it not If it is no better in the here after it sure will be awful won't it. But as for being any worse that would be almost impossible though there isn't any use of giving up yet for there is always light after darkness. So I still am living in great hopes there is still a chance for me if I try hard enough. I am still young enough yet to give this old world a good try out don't you think so if I can keep the devil from getting the best of me. Most everybody thinks Scott Field is an awful fine place and they all tell me that I am in the best outfit in the whole field. Though you see that isn't the idea I had when joining the army for my idea was of getting into a place so I could get some good schooling right away without wasting so much time. But as it happened I just got into the wrong outfit. Instead of coming here I should have went to that aviator school up here at Chanute Field Illinois by now I could have had six months towards being a good pilot and also a good mechanic along with it. So you see why I am so discouraged don't you. Oh well a person can never tell. I might hit on a streak of luck yet but never in the army for I don't like any kind of army life no difference what shape or form it would be impossible for me to get used to it for as it is not my kind of life. It I had of only known it soon enough. There is a good training school up here near Chicago where I could have got a good mechanical education and also flying license after six months time and if a person hasn't got the money up there
.Good Bye from your boy Wiley." "December 26th 1927 Dear Aunt How are you feeling today Hope you are well. As I am feeling kind of blue right now myself. But I guess you have forgotten all about me by now haven't you For as I know you don't care if I am at home or some where else do you. I am feeling so bad. I cannot even write very good. Sure feel awful bad. So be sure you have already got the great news about me being at Blair Friday evening. That darn deputy of Sparta Illinois come down and got me. But of course you have got the news long before now. It sure was some fine Christmas to me but I am in hopes that I won't get very much out of it
.Guess as there is no use of writing anymore. So I will close for this time. Good Bye from Wiley." "February 1st 1928 My Dear Aunt How are you feeling today Am hoping that these few lines find you feeling in the very best of good health ha ha. I sure have some great news to tell you ha Ha. I got tired yesterday. Oh say I just must have a good laugh and who wouldn't laugh. I didn't get my thing. Oh my god do tell some of my so called Blair friends that I was not found gently of desertion. Oh how glad they would have been. Oh yes how I do want to give them the big laugh ha ha. They thought oh how they thought I would get found guilty of desertion and sent to prison for along term and then have to take a dishonorable discharge. Oh how they did want me to bring an awful disgrace upon your name but just to think my own smooth speaking and my good attorneys did clear me. And oh my God I am almost crazy with great delight and joy. Oh it is too bad it is so near mail time. I will have to close but don't forget I will get to be down there to tell you all of it before long. I am one of the most lucky fellows that ever did walk on legs. Old deputy sheriff the one that caught me was at my trial as a witness with a big front on him. I mean he had his chest thrown out big Oh so big ha ha. Yes old Leiner sure is some deputy alright. I made him out a big liar three times on the stand. Oh gee I did look him right square in the eye and didn't even speak. He didn't get one cent of his reward for apprehending me or as they say catching me. He went back to Sparta feeling badly beaten ha ha ha ha ha. I have to laugh. Say please just present this letter to some of my so called friends and tell them a very intelligent young lawyer that is me W. Woolford wrote this. I will be down home soon again to get to step around very proud with my uniform on
.Your boy Wiley." "February 13th 1928 My Dear Aunt Well just how are you feeling today.I sure did have some good laugh too believe me and why wouldn't I laugh. I suppose in the first place that some of those Blair Town box setters and porch holders would feel very bad when they found out that they didn't find me guilty of desertion. Oh but how awful bad disappointed they must have been weren't they Ha Ha. It sure makes me laugh and why not Oh yes just to think how awful well pleased they would have been if I would have got a dishonorable discharge of course it would have been a disgrace to the both of us wouldn't it.They will all have to give me big credit for being smart enough to get out of this trouble ha ha. You don't need to be afraid to show any of them this letter for it is the truth don't' forget to write. Answer soon your boy Wiley."

ST. LOUIS MISSOURI MI. Good. 1904. On offer is a unique and very interesting from the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis Missouri. It is written by a man signed only as Will who relates to a A. Osburn Esq of Rochester New York of his recent trip to the St. Louis Worlds Fair. It is the biggest 4th of July I have seen for a good while. 4-6 Pounder Cannon 1 Gatling and 1 machine gun going while about 700 cavalrymen and Infantry are all popping away together. He spends much of his time in St. Louis fighting Piles hemorrhoids and headaches. Have been bust up ever since I got here with Piles and headache. I had to go to closet on train from Chicago to St. Louis after they got started and Monday when I went to the Fair I had to lay down all day on The Grass to get the damn things into place. He heads back to his lodge and writes I told the fellow in charge of the Red War of my headache and.he took me in and gave me headache tablets. He complains about the size of the whole Expo having to walk a mile from the center of the grounds to his lodgings. He continues: Have been taking in the Slate Buildings this P.M. The Iow is the finest I have seen in. It has 3 Pianos. He finishes the evening by going to a whiskey distillery and learning about the fermentation process and the secret of the colouring. He finishes by writing that Frisk probably his son would like to see the big engines in machinery hall. The whole time during the trip the author complains of his many ailments marring his enjoyment of the trip. The letter is in good shape easily legible and showing little wear from age or use. It is not bound together but there are handwritten page numbers on top of the pages. The writing is a bit sloppy but still very legible.; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES WORLDS FAIRS 1904 LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST.

WILL A BRIGGS [WILLIAM ADAMS BRIGGS]
1870 - 1871 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL AND STUDY DIARY OF A DETERMINED MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER TRAVELING AND STUDYING IN BERLIN GERMANY AT THE HEIGHT OF THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR
S.S. INDIA BERLIN GERMANY PRUSSIA. Very Good. 1870. On offer is a sensational December 1870 to June 1871 manuscript journal and diary of Will A. Briggs as noted in his own hand on the title page. One part travel diary another part historical observations on the condition of Europe and specifically Germany and the city of Berlin during the Franco-Prussian War we particularly note his description of Berlin during the celebration of Berliners to the successful Siege of Paris and Armistice January 1871 and another part handwritten relic of a serious student and composer of music this book was obviously a treasure to the author given the fact the pages are bound in fine original gilt decorated brown morocco leather boards; spine sympathetically rebacked in antique style the gilt ruled & decorated spine with 5 raised bands red & black gilt lettered morocco labels. Briggs in a fine hand details his travels by ship S.S. India from New York City to Berlin Prussia and Europe. The text covers 193 of 350 pages and a further half dozen pages contain summary lists: "Log of the S.S. Iowa from Glasgow to New York" "Places of Amusement" "Summary of Berlin Theatres" "Rail Road v Steam Boat Travel" "Hotels Stopped at in Europe 1871 Hamburg Hotel bill tipped in" "Passengers on Board the S.S. India" "Musical Compositions Written in Europe". He also notes the entertainments he sees or takes part in the important attendees plus much much more providing a 'Grand Tour' journal of depth and significance in his descriptions of Berlin and Germany. NOTE: While not specifically stated we are certain that 'Will A. Briggs' was William Adams Briggs who is noted in a 1903 Vermont newspaper as having been a student of music who furthered his studies in Berlin in 1870 and 1871. He returned to Vermont to be the organist at the Bethany Church and a teacher of music at the Goddard Seminary in Barre Vermont. This is conclusive given the confirming contents of the handwritten travel book. There is some stiffening to some pages and some yellowing but overall the book is G. Thick 8vo. 8.5" x 7.25" inches. 352 numbered pages.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: FRANCO PRUSSIAN WAR WAR OF 1870 PRUSSIA GERMANY BERLIN GRAND TOUR COMPOSERS MUSICIANS TRAVEL VERMONT ORGANIST BRIGGS EUROPE EUROPEAN GRAND TOUR HANDWRITTEN 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 . hardcover
