Gladys Casteel
1905 High School Composition Book of a Young Creative Writer with Fictional Stories and Real-Life Accounts of Life in Francisville Indiana
Francisville Indiana: Francisville Indiana 1905. Good. 1905. Softcover. On offer is an excellent example of English composition writing in early 20th century America. The author of this notebook is Gladys Casteel. She was born Mabel Gladys Casteel in 1888 in Redmon IL and lived in several communities in Illinois and Indiana. She was married at age 22 to Silas Kopka in 1910. Gladys Casteel Kopka passed away in Francisville IN 1965 at the age of 76. Our informal research has not turned up any additional biographical information. However she helpfully includes an autobiographical story that covers her early life. This notebook is entitles "Compositions" and signed by her. It contains a number of stories. From a comment made in her "My Biography" this was written while she was high school. Some stories refer to Francisville others to general themes such as "Our Flag" while another makes indirect reference to Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The House of The Seven Gables" published in 1851 a book that was popular in America. Her stories are well-written showing a very good command of language and grammar and an ability to turn a good phrase: "�Being the youngest of four children & they all grown I expect I was what they called spoilt - well not exactly that but greatly humoured�" My Biography; ".I had just returned from a visit to Indiana in the Summer of intentially blank. My return was on the 14th of July & Barnum & Bailey Circus was to entertain the people of Kankakee Illinois. Much to my delight papa decided to go and take my two nephews and myself. As you can imagine we did not sleep much that night ." Circus Day. She goes on to give an excellent description of the arrival of Barnum & Baily's world-famous circus and the main performance 'under the big top' Other stories are clearly fiction although some may be loosely based on life and experiences in her community. She also mentions a number of people and places by name. However it is quite possible that these individuals are fictional creations for her stories. They could however offer a genealogist a possible starting point in research of this are. For a social or education historian this composition notebook offers an excellent look into the quality of language and writing education that was being taught in small high schools across the United States at that time. It is certainly a benchmark for education historians and those interested in comparing education today vs that of nearly a century ago. Measuring 8.25 inches by 7.0 inches this soft-covered notebook contains 96 pages and is 100% complete. The covers are in good condition the binding intact and the pages also in good condition. The handwriting is quite legible. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 96 pages; Signed by Author . Francisville, Indiana, 1905 paperback

GLASGOW Charles ? ?
Photograph Signed
English maker of miniatures. PS 7�" X 8�" n.p. 1935 September 26. Near fine. An unusual transportation-related item printed on thin glazed stock this photograph bears a 4-line printed caption on the lower margin: "ROYAL POLO CART / Princess Mary Driving in the Park. / Model Built by / CHARLES GLASGOW Coach Builder PAISLEY." Above this appears a superbly-detailed miniature carriage driven by a woman in fashionable riding gear with a single white horse pulling. Above this set within an oval frame is the elderly Glasgow in suit and Derby hat. Near the caption Glasgow boldly signs and dates it. The occasion for the issuance of this is uncertain but probably ties in with the lavish 1935 Silver Jubilee celebrations of George V -- perhaps an exhibit of miniatures depicting the royal family at different times of their lives. Princess Mary 1867-1953 married the future king in 1893. Most unusual. unknown
