GLENN W. HOVEY
1899 - 1911 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF 12 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A VERY YOUNG VERY BRIGHT IOWA BOY WHO EARLY ON SHOWS HE HAS AN 'OLD SOUL' FOLLOWING HIM THROUGH TO MANHOOD
MOUNT VERNON IOWA IA. Good. 1899. On offer is a fascinating original archive of 12 manuscript diaries handwritten by the personable and charming Glenn W. Hovey. The diaries dated 1899 through 1911 offer a rare opportunity to witness the development of this young Iowa boy from elementary school days to a 24 year old college man on the cusp of following his life calling. Along with the narrative Glenn's writings have the added depth of having tucked in a great deal of ephemera such as newspaper clippings photos documents etc. It is absolutely fascinating to see this young boy grow as his age and maturation progresses so does the writing style and penmanship. Besides the typical daily mundane doings of the day and a young man raised in a good home church and social life Glenn can also wax philosophic: "Jan 1 1903 Goodbye old book. I regret to lose you as so close a companion but you will show me in later years this was one of the best years of my life". "Is the time spent in studying Greek or Latin lost No because one is studying the highest types of civilization ages & peoples that have done things". Very last entry: GOOD BYE 1911. I loved you a lot and you loved me in return. It has been the best and happiest time of life. Have been made more a man. Sunday has been a good long day and I have lived a lot. Went to church at N Park Cong and took lunch in my room then read and wrote some letters. It has been a pleasant day. A big snow storm last night covered everything and made it white. May New Year be as pleasant. Good bye." Sometimes he uses the books for financials. Clearly well educated he had a deep interest in music social times with friends love for family and was very studious. He was mentioned in the newspaper social page several times so one could assume the family was comfortably well off.

GLORIA LEE BIGEWET
1948 ORIGINAL LARGE ARCHIVE OF DIARIES 2 PHOTOS AND EPHEMERA DETAILING A SENSATIONAL POST WWII EUROPEAN BICYCLE TOUR HAND WRITTEN BY A HARD CHARGING AMERICAN GIRL WHO DOES A SUPER JOB DESCRIBING ALL SHE SEES
St. LOUIS MISSOURI. Good. 1948. On offer is a fabulous archive of a trip through Europe in the immediate aftermath of WWII. The archive comprises hundreds of letters notes photographs and ephemera. The centre-piece is a folio size scrapbook measuring about 15 inches by 10.5 inches. The scrapbook cover has separated from the binding. There are 100 pages and it is about 20% complete. There are two diaries which are used to record the trip experiences only. The first diary measures about 5 inches by 3 inches. It contains about 180 pages and is about 40% complete. The cover and binding are intact and the handwriting is dense but readable. The second diary measures 6 inches by 4.5 inches and contains 365 pages. It is about 13% complete. The spine is broken and the front cover attached at the back of the binding has separated from the body of the text. The handwriting is dense but readable. There is a packet of over 5 dozen letters. A second package contains over 100 items including numerous black and white photographs cards notes etc. In 1948 Gloria Lee Bigewet was able to participate in an American Youth Hostel cycling trip in Europe - specifically France Italy and Switzerland. This was a tumultuous time in Europe. The most devastating war in history had just ended with death and destruction on an almost unimaginable scale; the Iron Curtain was descending over eastern Europe; the Berlin Airlift was underway. Casual research has found almost no biographical information for the author beyond the fact that she married Harold J. Becker in 1950 had 2 daughters and was later divorced. She left St. Louis May 31st 1948 for New York City to board her ship - S.S. Marine Tiger which sailed June 3rd. The scrapbook contains numerous black and white photographs of varying sizes depicting the students who went on the trip. They include a large photo of the Roman Colosseum and numerous other locations in Europe. There is the American Youth Hostel flag which she flew from her bicycle boarding pass packing guides itineraries a list of all participants on the trip and cards and letters: "You can see over the whole city and it's a beautiful but sad sight. Sad because the houses are almost completely destroyed. Piza was one of the hardest hit cities during the bombing raids and you can sure tell it. By the way I managed to take a very effective picture this morning of the ruins or rather just part of them . " letter home from Piza June 29 1948. There is a complete copy of the on-board ship's daily newspaper - the Tiger Rag. There is also a lengthy newspaper article Workings of the Black Market in Paris explaining the how of the black market operates in practice. There are also quite a number of items such as tickets program descriptions etc that are tucked into the pages of the scrapbook. The first diary covers the months leading up to the trip. It is full of the typical events in the life of a busy teenager. It also contains references to the man she will eventually marry: "Bill called. Becker came over at 4:30 and fixed my bicycle put lights on and stayed for dinner. After dinner we walked out to the park and rode the electric boats and talked a long time. He told me how much he'll miss me. Oh! I think he is so wonderful and nice - I really like him so much!" May 25. This diary ends on May 30th with her saying goodbye to friends before she leaves. Included in the diary are 2 postcards from France showing a hotel in Artenay Loire and the great Chateau of Chenonceaux. The second diary deals specifically with the 16 days of her trip. It is well-written with a very good eye for detail. she comments on daily 50 mile bike rides the scenery and surrounding countryside train rides hotels hostels cute boys she met the food she ate and places that she visited. ". From there we met Goodie Betty W and Marge at the Academy of Fine Arts and saw Michelangelo's statue of David. It's magnificent. And then we visited the church across the street which also has a museum. . Went window shopping. . After dinner soup and some meat sauce and some fish concoction Jack and I walked to Diurno Square ." July 9. Awoke at 8:30 and washed dressed etc. Getting ready for church. I'm going to Notre Dame Cathedral for services this morning ." Aug 1. There are over 5 dozen letters in one packet including letters from her to her family letters from her parents and friends such as Harold. There is a delightful letter dated June 3rd to her from her mother and father: "My Darling Babe . When I arrived home from Council this afternoon . there was a slip of paper from the post office stating that there was a letter there awaiting me with five cents due. .I was so thrilled when I read your interesting letter that I had to re-read it three times ." her mother's comments. It is lonesome now but your mother and I are more than happy that you are able to get a world wide experience and first-hand knowledge of the other side of our big world. As you know you are our pride and joy ." her father's comments. The letters provide other glimpses into what is happening at that time. For instance the letter from Harold dated June 12th notes that the Freedom Train came in to St. Louis. This train crisscrossed the United States in an effort to celebrate America and her ideals. At each stop it displayed Americana and related historical artifacts. The remaining packet contains over 100 additional photographs postcards notes and other ephemera. Quite a number of the photographs are annotated. For example one picture has the notation: "Gloria Lee - sitting at a cafe in front of the gallery del Lanzi - Florence Italy July 1948". A note records the following observation: "Fields of scarlet poppies right up to the track; lots of farmland in all different shades of green with poppies intertwined. . faces all weather-beaten.

GLORIA M. RIGGS
1930 - 1935 Handwritten Manuscript Depression Era Diary of a Well Educated Coarse West Springfield Massachusetts Girl
West Springfield Massachusetts. Good. 1930. Cloth. On offer is the handwritten manuscript diary of Gloria M. Riggs resident of West Springfield Massachusetts and who attended the University of Colorado in the late 1920s early 1930s. The 5 year diary is inscribed as a Christmas 1929 gift from her best friend 'Mogalong' to 'Glorious'. While mostly used for 1930 and then only sporadically in the next five Gloria proves to be representative of a certain 'flapper' era girl being a hard drinking party loving sexually aware educated but rather coarse woman. On a blank page Gloria writes her resolutions for each year. 1930 seems indicative of this 18 year old girl's main 'issue': Resolution: No necking or petting for one year January 18th she notes 'Broke My Resolution'. Exceptions: parties and Ross M. 1931 is the same but in 1932 she cuts out both exceptions. Another great line: 'Went out with Frank Bauer�.he expected an apology because I kept him waiting 15 minutes. He got it too! Gee I'm funny like that!!' Much talk of parties dances and wild drinking. In 1930 she writes that after only six weeks she is falling for Ross he was evidently a local musician - his business card is tucked into the diary along with other sentimental scraps- Gloria's own calling card ticket stubs news clippings etc. Almost exactly a year later when Ross declares his love in a letter she brushes it off. On return to Colorado and school she compares each man to him. On a sour note she writes of a ride home from 'Joe the Pollock'. Other notes complaining of a mouth that felt like the Russian Army marched through it show the coarseness this educated girl is capable of. Later Gloria Riggs grew up and became private secretary for Walter Scott a descendant of the famous writer Sir Walter Scott. The clasp is broken and the diary no longer locks.

Boadicia. A tragedy. As it is acted at the Theatre-Royal in Drury-Lane.
London: printed for R. and J. Dodsley in Pall-Mall ; and M. Cooper in Pater-noster-row 1753. First Edition . Modern Boards. Fine/None Issued. 8vo. 8vo. 4662p. a lovely copy bound into modern boards with printed label to spine. This copy is somewhat of a curiosity as it is not in accord with any of the issues recorded by ESTC. This closely matches ESTC T22929 but the imprint has Pater-noster-row rather than Pater-Noster-Row. The price from imprint: "price One Shilling and Six-Pence." . Given the number of recorded variants it would seem that this work was printed one copy at a time with a bored printer changing the title page at will. At any rate a very lovely copy with a bowl of fruit vignette to title page. <br/> <br/> printed for R. and J. Dodsley in Pall-Mall ; and M. Cooper in Pater-noster-row hardcover
