EBENEZER SAGE
c1810s HANDWRITTEN COPIES OF LETTERS AND STATEMENTS MADE BY A NOTED NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN ON THE WAR OF 1812 INCLUDING THE DRAMATIC BURNING OF WASHINGTON AS WELL AS THE SORRY STATE OF GREED AND MONEY IN AMERICAN POLITICS
BAR HARBOR SAG HARBOR NEW YORK LONG ISLAND. Good. On offer is a collection of copied letters of and statements by Ebenezer Sage a United States Representative from New York all dealing with the War of 1812 and the state of American politics at that crucial time. The 22 page handwritten gathering appears to have been taken out of a much larger manuscript dealing exclusively with the War of 1812 its lead up and its aftermath. There are three letters by Sage to friends and a collection of written statements made by him. The first letter is described as a �Copy of a letter written to Ebenezer Sage M.C. 12th Congress of Sag Harbor N.Y. to Dr. William Crawford of Gettysburg Pa. July 24th 1814.� It begins �Dear friend. You must pay a pistareen to the Revenue for this letter which is in greater want of the money than you are. I therefore ta you that sum pro bono publico and as it respects yourself I shall indeveour to give you the worth of the money in news.� His letter he writes concerns �the movements of the British squadron their acts and doings.� �Yesterday the squadron consisted of 5 ships to day only two. Their boats are every night out in all directions in pursuit of coasters trade & plunder. Yesterday two deserters were here from the Superb. They took a boat from one of the ship's tenders and lands about 20 miles from this travelled nearly all the distance without entering a house being told on board the ship that the American government had agreed to send all deserters back to be hanged one of them a frenchman by birth but brought up in Ireland the other a prussian both young intelligent.They report that the talk on board the fleet is that they expect every day a fleet of 16 men of war Wellington's Army to come into the found land upon Long Island and take N. York.� He then speaks of a man named �Joshua Penny� an American who was �a desperado� who was �15 years an imprisoned seamon on board the British fleet from which he made his escape lived three years among the Hottentots where he made his escape his adventures during those years beat Robinson Crusoe all to nothing.� It seems that Penny managed to procured a torpedo boat by which he was attacking the British fleet with a number of other non-military men. He then speaks of the British fleets attack of Long Island opening up �a most tremendous fire upon good old deacon Mulford�s house� and then landed 100 soldiers and marines �who soon drove about a dozen Militants who had been firing at them into the woods� and then robbing the Deacon�s house of �2 or 300 $ in clothing breaking the clock looking glass destroying the furniture door windows� and then �proceeded to make war upon his sheep poultry pigs.� The letter is full of short stories like this of the people fighting off the invading British fleet. He then writes �Inter nos between us for it is to be kept a profound secret.� He implores his friend to �retreat among the glens of Adams County secure in peace plenty while I am doomed to this sandbank in continental alarm.� He finishes the first letter �but what is all this compared to the greatest part of Europe devastated brutalized and laid waste with fire and sword by a few titled scoundrels human butchers incendiaries. There is sure a state beyond this where such monsters will receive their punishment - Pardon me for this long scroll with a kind remembrance to Mrs. Crawford believe me your friend. E.S. P.S. My health is bad but a little better than last summer. Mrs. S. not so well generally. M children in good health spirits.� So the first letter of this collection ends. There are two more letters as well as �Selections from Dr. Ebenezer Sage�s letters copied from Miss Mulford�s pamphlet. The two letters are from September 23rd 1814 addressed to William Crawford again and then May 10th 1812 addressed to Henry P. Dering Esq. Sag Harbor New York. The letter from Sept. 23rd briefly concerns Sage�s time in the 12th United States Congress but mostly reports on the Battle of Bladensburg one of the most famous defeats in American history and its aftermath. The defeat allowed to British to capture and then burn Washington D.C.: �Our Army consisted of about 7000 men Regulars Marines and Militia 6000 of whom never saw the enemy or fired a gun.� He describes how the Army retreated from the British but he writes �had the noble General Winder gave the word Fire instead of Retreat it is believed by everybody a British soldier would not have found his way into the city.� He then describes the burning of Washington: �I have viewed the ruins of Public and private buildings. They are destroyed beyond any possibility of repair especially those constructed of stone.The pillars which supported the dome in the house of representatives and which of their base were as large as a barrel are reduced to the size of a foot diameter and in many places less.� He comments on the anger of his peers and says that Washington �is full of precious anecdotes and the indignation of the people is so great against Armstrong and Winder that I doubt whether either of them could appear here in safety.� The last letter describes Sage�s anger with the money in politics at the time May 10th 1812. He writes from Manhattan: �this is a disgusting subject and particularly here the great reservoir into which are emptied all the dirty bills of filth from all quarters of the union but more from the State of the Manhattoes than all the others. For three or four years past politics is altogether a matter of bargain sale with them like their mercantile speculations. Give me offices and I will give you votes help out our bank or set types for us we will give you Stock money jobs scratch my back I will scratch your elbow.� The rest of the letter describes his time in Manhattan travelling back to Washington having dinner with President James Madison his wife Dolly and �Mr. Secretary not of foreign but hom relations.� He finishes by talking of his time in numerous dinner parties in Washington discussing both current affairs and gossip with fellow congressmen. The last pages of the collection is an Index confirming that these letters are from a much larger book on the War of 1812. There are over 100 entries in the index in alphabetical order and showing the page numbers at which the index entries appear. The handwriting is small but easily readable. Each page of the 22 page gathering except the last two are filled with writing. The pages show some wear from age and use with the most discoloration on the front and back page from a liquid stain though this does not impede reading the words under the stain at all.; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF EBENEZER SAGE DR.

EBERS Georg 1837 98
Autograph Quotation Signed
This German Egyptologist is renowned for discovering one of the earliest medical documents in existence -- an ancient Egyptian papyri giving a cancer treatment -- and sought to further popularize all things Egyptian through of all things historical romances set in Egypt. AQS 1p 4" X 4" n.p. 1885 August. Near fine. Faintly age toned. In Ebers interesting and stylized tiny script in vibrant purple ink he boldly pens four brief lines signing handsomely and dating below. Because of Ebers' calligraphy a number of the words elude translation and those that don't aren't sufficient to allow identifying this quotation. But an attractive item nonetheless accompanied by a modern facsimile of a 19th century head-and-shoulders sketch of Ebers. unknown

Mr. Gray of the Northampton Massachusetts had an exceptionally fine almost calligraphic in its steadiness handwriting in this very densely written journal packed with his precise neat cursive.

EC. WHITE E. C.
1890 - 1891 FASCINATING SIGNIFICANT ORIGINAL DIARY WRITTEN BY A KEEN EYED AMERICAN ADVENTURER BUSINESSMAN AUTHOR AND EXPERT ON SOUTH AMERICA WHO GOES FROM THE CIVIL WAR IN CHILE TO THE RUINS OF A PYGMY CITY IN THE ANDES AND MUCH MUCH MORE
SOUTH AMERICA PERU BOLIVIA VENEZUELA CHILE. Good. 1890. On offer is an original historically significant 1890 to 1891 manuscript diary handwritten by prominent New York businessman and author E.C. White E.C. White was the son of Dr. Emerson White who was president of Purdue University. His brother was Albert Blakeslee ''A. B.'' White he was West Virginia's 11th governor serving from 1901-05 who traveled and lived in South America. The keen eyed and erudite diarist Mr. White does a superb job detailing his adventures by steamship horseback Alpaca and train. But his experiences and downright good fortune to be in the right place at the right time to witness and participate in some extraordinary events in South America most particularly the civil war in Chile. White was in Venezuela Peru Chile Bolivia and points in between and among his experiences are the finding an Incan "ruined city" on top of a mountain in Peru spies hiding on board a steamship remains of a torpedoed ship and travel by train through the Andes. As noted on the cover of the diary is "South American Notes - E C White. Kal- Blanco" casual research finds E.C. White was a wealthy businessman he owned E.C. White Co in New York City. White traveled the world and spent most of his time in South America. In fact he spent so much time there that he was offered the appointment as Minster to Chile by President Harrison. He declined the offer due to business considerations. He had a close association with McKinley who at the time was his main supporter for the position. McKinley wrote of White to President Harrison "Mr. White has spent several years in Spanish- America. He is a gentleman of high character education and refinement". The book contains about 150-165 typed and handwritten pages sketches mimeographed bulletins business contacts in South America. He may have been in the pharmaceutical business there are lists of doctors pharmacists herbal medicines and cures are noted. We note some pages are onion skin and faded but all can be read with patience. As an expert on South America he periodically wrote articles in a number of publications. He wrote under his pen name "Kal- Blanco" and some of his original articles are on the web. There are several typed stories in this diary that appear to be rough drafts he later published. These stories are about his observations and travels and are nonfiction and include original corrections. There is even an original story he did for the Home Maker Magazine titled "Among the Venezuelans" with some hand written notations in the margins. This story includes photos. Entries begin in New York Oct 8 1890 as White boards the Steamship Muriel in route the ship stops at St George St. Kitts Dominca Martinique Granada and Trinidad. He would eventually reach Columbia Venezuela Peru Chile and Bolivia. Included are three mimeographed bulletins 2 titled" Manavi's Bulletins" and one titled "The Esk's Daily Bulletin". Historians and researchers will find a treasure trove of material. White writes about the socio political aspects of each country and examines cultural traits with a keen eye for observation. His diary entries as well as his articles are extensive and in many cases fill the entire sheet. Other items found between the sheets are advertising flyers one photo negative and travel notes. Here are snippets: Note: interestingly White writes in the third person throughout the diary. Peru - March 8 1891 We had our first earthquake this morning. The servants thought that it was quite severe to M. It seemed quite a respectable shake. M.was tired and did not feel like going to church and Mr. W. Allowed his wife's indisposition to impose him so both stayed at home and Mr. W. bad man printed blue prints. In the afternoon we studied a little Spanish and took a walk. Retired early as usual. Peru - March 10 1891 Mr. W. Worked all day on the type- writer and M. extremely busy cleaning up everything after the journey to Huaca Puno In the evening we went to the circus by Mr. Pacigalupi's invitation and found it very good and that the theatre was very pretty. Peru -March 26 1891 Mr. W. Went to Callao in the morning to arrange to go on Saturday but found that there was no steamer left until the next week. In the afternoon there was a procession of 250 of the militia the army numbers 15000 all Indians & these Indians control the country. In the evening everybody promenading the streets: the ladies dressed their best. Children men woman all Going to church. Peru -March 27 1891 Great feast day. The militia surrounded the plaza and expect a grand procession. The people devote themselves to fasting and prayer what time they are not on the street and Mr. Basigalupi is very much put out about it as it is a check to all business. Bolivia - April 14 1891 Arrived at Chililaya - in Bolivia last night but on account of the Cana could not enter the port until daylight The town has about 40 houses and the chief export is potatoes silver and tin ore. The Grand Hotel where we stopped for the night is kept by a lady in high heeled shoes short dress and log earrings. The Amiras wear lose under drawers from the knee down and pants with a slit in the back of each leg. They bundle up their heads and necks with knitted goods and go barefoot. The women wear skirt a little below the knee and never change their clothes from one years end to the other. They very rarely wash. All dress in bright colors. Bolivia - April 23 1891 Left Puno for Arequipa early in the morning and arrived in the pm Mr. McCord has everything arranged for us to stay there. The ride was rather tedious as the scenery was the same as before except when we reached Arequipa- The moon rising between Mista- & Potosi was a beautiful sight. Bolivia April 24 1891 Took the train for Mollendo- after bidding Mr. McCord goodbye. Had a crowded car and rather unpleasant journey as it was very dusty. Arrived at 3 pm and found Mr. Turner waiting for us at the station to tell is that the" Bolivia " would sail that night and that they could not tell when there would be another steamer. We went up the company house and rested for an hour and than went to the steamer. The Purser gave is his room as the S. Was full but it was small and uncomfortable when we got to the S. We found Mr. Allen A. Swimmingly awaiting us. Chile- May 11891 Stopped at Autofogasta- and went ashore with Mr.S. and Mr.W. and appointed agents for all parties.Had a good time.At all of these ports there have been officers of the Revolution on board to search the ship for Government officials and we carry spies with us. It is supposed that there is one man hidden in the ship who is an officer of Balmaceda's. His wife is very cool collected even sleeping in the same cabin with the woman spy.There have been several parties arrested on suspicion and brought back but one was arrested and kept because he was known to have 50000 dollars concealed in his cabin. We are now past the Congressionalist's District. Discovery of the Ruins of a Pygmy city in the Andes. On the 26th day of April 1885 I arranged with a friend of mine who lived in Callao Peru to ascend Huaca Puno Dead Point and explore a ruined city said to be at its summit. The descendants of the Children of the Sun warned me against such an undertaking. Their superstitious ideas of Huaca Puno were not pleasant I must admit. They informed me that this was the home of bad spirits and that wild beasts only were allowed to exist there prowling around the streets day and night. They told me that no white man or Indian had ever been in this city since it was depopulated during the pre - Inca times by the cannibalistic tribes who leagued themselves with Satan against these wicked people who had rebelled from Satan and exterminated them. As we ascended our guide seemed to gain courage and decided to accompany us to the city. We found it walled egg shaped about one mile in length and one eighth of a mile in width and admirably fortified. Huaca Puno is in the Pacific range of the Andes and about 15000 ft. In elevation the tropical ocean breeze melting white frost that comes in July. I heard my friend hallooing for me to come up the Citadel Then it dawned upon us that it was a pygmy city. Columbia- Dec 1 & 2nd 1890 I contracted with the following papers viz. El FonografoLas Noticias El Zulia Illustrarado M Los Escos del Zulla. All of which I send to C.H.Gould. On the evening of the 2nd I left for Curacoa by the steamer Maracaibo. The cost of a passage is $ 15.00. Dec 3rd& 4th - I arrived in Curaacoa on the 4th and went to the hotel De Leon. Paid $ 1.60 per day and the food was so poisoned could hardly stand it. The maggots crawled out of the warmed over beef when brought on the table. I watched to see how many partook of the same and saw them all eat it the same as if it had not been alive. I went on the Philadelphia as soon as the steamer arrived. Mrs. Chambers and Miss Randolph were with the Caption Chambers. I met a druggist from Cucuta Gonzales Bona Hermanos who gave me the following doctors: List of doctors in Cucuta Columba. Among the Curacoans & The Maracaiboans excerpts from a 3 page story written in Venezuela The poor of Curacoa live entirely by their commerce as the Island produces only limited products. The island produces only a limited amount of agricultural products. The houses are constructed as in Holland roofed with red tile and very quaint in appearance. The people of this country believe that all North Americans are wealthy they know that our people tip them freely and from this they draw the rather erroneous conclusion that we are all millionaires. To them a little money means great luxury. For the lower classes are very destitute. Traveling is expensive in these countries on account of the excessive rates on steamers and the continual robbing of the boatmen and custom house officials. The later we might dispense without the former we must have the steamers being compelled to anchor one to five miles from shore. What a contrast: This evening I am writing on a table in the hotel parlor which has an old brick floor and naked whitewashed walls but lighted with an excellent Edison Electric light the only mark of advanced civilization around me. In one corner are crickets singing joyful songs under the new Star in Maracaibo- In another corner the lovers of evening light the lizards are blinking and twisting their heads to see if any person is intruding upon their possessions. Frequently these little innocent cold blooded vertebrates amuse themselves by running over your shoulders or the table where you are writing. However they are perfectly harmless and the larger species the Iguanas are eaten by the natives. In the early morning the market and the streets are full of Iguana vendors who are very persistent in their endeavors to sell you a string of live Iguana for the small sum of one real. There are 6 sketches. Two small sketches are executed in pencil: One mimeographed sketch titled "This Great Sea- Monster discovered by the Captain of the Muriel Oct 10 1890 off St Kitt's Island". The diary is bound in a leather folio sized journal 10.5 x 8.5 inches and overall G.; Typed Manuscript; 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF E.C.
