FRANK ?
1893 - 1920s FASCINATING ORIGINAL PAIR 2 OF MANUSCRIPT DIARIES DETAILING A SOMERVILLE MASSACHUSETTS MAN'S LIFE OVER A 43 YEAR SPAN
SOMERVILLE MASSACHUSETTS. Fair. 1893. On offer is a most unusual and interesting pair of journals. They date from 1893 and 1896 respectively. They measure 8 inches by 4 1/4 inches and contain 184 pages. The binding of one journal is quite worn and the 2nd is almost detached. Many of the pages in the first journal are loose but all are accounted for. The writing is quite legible. The author's name is Frank. From context we know that he was born in 1873. He lives in Somerville MA. The journals are interesting as they are essentially snap shots of his life taken at different times between 1893 and 1926. The first covers that entire period. The 2nd volume has several entries dated Dec 27 and 31 1899 and Jan 1st 1900 and Mar 14th 1900. The first volume is the most detailed. It begins with him taking a train trip west to visit the Chicago World Fair. He describes his journey west in some cases with simple pencil sketches accompanying his notes. "Grazing country hop growing flock of sheep looking for their lake . Lake Ontario 10:20 Chicago World Fair. After a fine night sleep I am about to go to breakfast will communicate further during the day being the first real day at the Fair" June 6 1893. "Figures in Chocolate solid weight of Venus de Milo" 14:50 Sousa Band electrical illumination Torches on Building" He states on June 7th that he is finished with the Fair. But subsequent entries showed that he stayed a few extra days. He notes the places that he stops on his return trip as well such as Hamilton ON and Buffalo NY He doesn't actually state when he arrives home - the entries simply cease. The next entries are in 1896: "After three years it is very interesting to look over the foregoing . my notes strike me as childish and not noteworthy" Dec 10 1896. During this section of his journal he bemoans his being unemployed and describes his pain at the death of his father. It is a very difficult time for him personally and the reader can feel his sense of loss and depression. He reflects on the time passed: "We are on the eve of moving our household back to Somerville back to the homestead. Our funds have sunken low - some paintings are on the market and furniture has been sold and I - the only son and who should be the mainstay of the family - I am out of work!" The next entries skip ahead three years. "This now nearly three years since I have seen this book and many changes have taken place in that time. They are changes which have influenced my entire life and to judge from the present outlook the influence has been the reverse to what it should be Sept 30 1899. He does finally find work: "In six days I shall start for the West. I go for the Contractors Plant Co. And to sell the Portable Gravity Concrete Mixer." Dec 20 1899 He is optimistic although he does lament not having someone in his life to love. He makes no more entries for 5 years. "Not quite 5 years since I've wrote here. Great have been the changes! . I have a daughter now five weeks old and as happy a Godsend as one could wish! . All happy and contented. My affairs are in good shape and full of better promise." Aug 23 1904 He notes that he now owns his own home and his own belongings. He writes optimistically of the future. The next entry is 16 years later. He notes that he found the journal when he was unpacking boxes after a move. There has been illness and he has been in the hospital while his son was bed-ridden with a serious kidney ailment. ". We shall pull him through with God's help" Mar 30 1920. Six years later he comes back to the journal. He notes that his son recovered and is quite healthy. However his wife suffers from unexplained nerve pain. He talks about being fortunate: ". We are fortunate in the worlds goods because we have more than we need and some of the luxury is ours. We have a Cape Cod house which we all enjoy. ." May 31 1926. He takes real pleasure in his son and daughter and sees the future with optimism. His last entry is in October 1926. He expresses concern for their economic future: "A new note enters into our lives. The matter of business causes worry as it slips down and down . I should like ten years more of full earning power. ." Oct 15 1926. Three years later at age 56 he along with millions of Americans will be plunged into the depths of the Great Depression. For a historian taking a long view this is a fascinating look into the mind of a young man as he grows and grapples with the challenges of building a life for himself. He came of age during the Panic of 1896 when the economy crashed taking with it hundreds of banks and thousands of businesses. He struggles through this crisis and builds a successful life. One wonders how he fared in the later years of his life.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES MASSACHUSETTS MIDDLESEX COUNTY 19TH CENTURY EARLY 20TH CENTURY 1890S 1900S 1920S ROARING TWENTIES CHICAGO PROGRESSIVE ERA THE PANIC OF 1893; CHICAGO WORLD FAIR; WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION TRAIN TRIPS IN 1890S SOMERVILLE MA; THE GREAT DEPRESSION 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 ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIG�EDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

FRANK A. JACKSON
1943 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF MANUSCRIPT LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS DETAILING THE WWII SERVICE OF A US NAVY SAILOR AND SURVIVOR OF THE ILL FATED USS LEEDSTOWN
USS LEEDSTOWN MEDITERRANEAN. Good. 1940. On offer is a unique WW2 archive containing over 64 documents placed in 82 sheet protectors including fascinating personal letters photos training certificates receipts passes USS launching cachets official correspondence newspaper clips etc. Most documents are in excellent condition. The archive belonged to Frank Andrew Jackson from Devon Connecticut and covers the period from 1940 to 1946. After having attended drills with the 20th division USNR Naval Reserve for five months in March 1941 Frank requested to be ordered for active duty on USS Goldcrest but he was ordered to the Naval Training Station at Norfolk instead. In January 1942 he attended New London Air Raid Warden School in Connecticut where some of the classes were taught by Yale professors. The archive includes printed program and handwritten notes and exams from the School. The same year he received Coxswain and Boatswain assistant's certificates and started his service on board of USS Leedstown that was commissioned in late September 1942. Almost immediately she crossed the Atlantic to Belfast Northern Ireland and joined a force preparing for Operation Torch the invasion of French North Africa. On November 9 the German submarine hit her with two torpedoes and she sank bow first off the Algerian coast with the loss of eight men out of more than 500 aboard. In one of the letters Frank mentions this event: "Nov. 11 1943: Well Bill it's a year ago today that the Leedstown went to the bottom. This night a year ago we were in a miserable state. Wringing wet and covered with oil�." Personal letters are the most interesting part of the archive. One is from Frank's mother of October 1942 three weeks before the ship was sunk: "Dear Son - a very pleasant bit of news today Sunday a wire to let me know you are safe. That lifted a load from my heart" another of July 1941 addressed to Frank and signed "Joe" a friend who served on a USS Catbird a letter to Fred Jackson. Most letters 34 pages are written by Frank to Bill Jackson probably his brother living in East Weymouth in Massachusetts. These letters describe in detail Frank's service on destroyer escort ships encounters with submarines storms places they pass intercepting enemy messages spending time ashore and even hunting in Curacao. Below are some excerpts from the letters: "Hello Bill Just finished four days and three nights at sea riding a tail end of a hurricane. Sure did some rolling for a while. Rolled as much as 40 degrees. Sure had a lot of sick hands aboard�.These trips send up the tax payers money. Not doing a bit of good as far as the war is concerned� I better wait and mail it when we hit the states otherwise it wouldn't pass the censors" September 1943. One of the letters he was writing from October 19 to November 29 1943 adding information several times before he could send it. "Well here we are off to the race again. This time as flagship. We are now taking a convoy down to Curacao again�.We have seven DE's in our division�.Guess by look of things we'll take them up to Ireland after we leave Curacao. Got a bottle of Tabu perfume for Lill the last time down there. Going to get her Chanel #5 this trip. Going out tonight to look for silk stockings. Nothing is rationed here". He describes how he had several ribs broken and after having them taped goes ashore: "Well uniform for liberty is white so must get cleaned up and go ashore. I hobble around like a woman with a tough corset. Ha Ha."; "Everybody to the dance last night�Met a Scotch sailor who just came back from Russia. I swapped a Dutch gulden for a Russian ruble. I've got more money in foreign currency than I have of my own"; But white uniform dances hunting and souvenirs are soon replaced by severe storms in the North Atlantic watching for submarines and preparations for a possible gas attack: "Had a Radar contact. Enemy plane on the horizon. Shortly after that we intercepted on enemy message from a sub which was shadowing the convoy. They were waiting for us to take out after them then blow hell out of these ships"; "Been stormy ever since we left. Lost one man overboard from one of the DE's last night. Guess he got smart and went out on the weather deck. Seems every trip we lose a man from one of the ships by being washed overboard or else they bury him at sea" Dec 1943. In his letter of September 1944 describes their stay in North Africa Oran and Bizerte and his encounters with local population. At one place he says: "Seems awful long this four year hitch. Guess I'll be lost when I get home". The latest letter was written in 1945. The archive also includes several family photos with names on the backside photos of USS Rodman a printed text describing a day on the state pier authored by J. McGregor probably another sailor and mentioning Frank and January 1946 issue of Our Navy journal with an article about USS Rodman and a handwritten note: "One of my older ships". This archive with its wealth of details can be an excellent source of information for a naval or military historian.; Document Archive; 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES 20TH CENTURY 1940s SECOND WORLD WAR WW2 US NAVY CONNECTICUT STATE DEFENSE COUNCIL CONNECTICUT AIR RAID WARDENS FRANK ANDREW JACKSON WILLIAM JACKSON US NAVY USS RODMAN USS GOLDCREST USS OTTER FIRST NAVAL DISTRICT USS CATBIRD DEFENSE FORCE SECTION BASE STATE PIER NEW LONDON CONNECTICUT USS MASSACHUSETTS J.

FRANK BEARD JR.
1877 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A 14 YEAR OLD NEW YORK BOY AND DEDICATED ERUDITE AND ROMANTIC DIARIST
HALLS CORNERS NEW YORK NY. Good. 1877. On offer is a super look at the life and times of a teenage boy in 1877 Ontario County New York. This 6" x 3" diary for the year 1877 is written by Frank Beard Jr. of Halls Corners Ontario County New York. Frank turns 15 during the writing of the diary and lives with his mother father and younger brother Charlie on a farm. Uniquely for a boy Frank is a tireless erudite and somewhat romantic diarist and he faithfully has an entry for every day from Jan 1st when he bids "good bye to the Centennial Year until June 17th. Many of the remaining pages are filled with figures for purchases and work performed and lists of the names of "witnesses". Frank wrote of his daily activities work on the farm his school trips to the surrounding towns - Geneva Penn Yan Canandaigua - where he and his parents sell produce etc. He makes meticulous notes on what was paid for the produce and what he spent on clothing food etc on these trips. Both he and his brother perform chores 7 days a week as well as plowing seeding milking tapping trees and making syrup etc. He travels to Halls Corners to the Post Office for his copy of "The Youth's Companion" which he reads diligently. He also writes and very sadly sometimes of his neighbors and of the horrible toll of small pox taking their lives as well as of his own vaccination. He notes one family losing 6 members to smallpox. He mentions Hayes becoming President. Although his grammar is not the best he appears to have been an intelligent and hard-working young man. A few of his entries: Jan 1- "Good bye to the Centennial Year. The new year has come. The centennial year has gone and the new century begins. I feel a little better today. There has been 6 died with the small pox. Jan 3 - "I have had a very sore arm from vaccinating. It is getting better now. Staid home all day. I done the chores this morning. Pa and I drawed the buggy in the barn. There is another one of the B.girls died of the small pox. There is 5 in that family died". Mar 4 - " I staid at home most all day. We done the chores this morning. It froze up today. It is quite cold. This is the 4 of March the day they inaugurated the President - Grant is no longer President. George Rolf is very sick. Several names of neighbors and relatives are mentioned throughout. The leather cover of the diary is damaged but the inside pages are in good condition. It takes some getting used to Frank's poor hyphenating and some misspelled words but his writing is legible. This is a very interesting look at rural life in the 1800's.
