‎1904 ORIGINAL ALBUM OF SNAPSHOTS DEPICTING THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES TOWN OF FRANK AND THE WORST CANADIAN NATURAL DISASTER IN NEAR ARCTIC HISTORY‎

‎BLAIRMORE ALBERTA FRANK NORTHWEST TERRITORIES NWT. Good. 1904. On offer is a super original 5� x 4� inch photograph album with nine 2� x 1� inch snapshots of Blairmore Northwest Territories including a few of the aftermath of an historic human tragedy known as the Frank Slide a rockslide that buried part of the mining town of Frank Northwest Territories Canada on the morning of April 29 1903. It occurred at 4:10 am when over 82 million tonnes 90 million tons of limestone rock slid down Turtle Mountain within 100 seconds obliterating the eastern edge of Frank the Canadian Pacific Railway line and the coal mine. It was one of the largest landslides in Canadian history and remains the deadliest as between 70 and 90 of the town's residents were killed most of whom remain buried in the rubble. Multiple factors led to the slide. Turtle Mountain's formation left it in a constant state of instability. Coal mining operations may have weakened the mountain's internal structure as did a wet winter and cold snap on the night of the slide. The album dated September 24th 1904 has inscriptions written text below each photo and housed in a wonderful soft hide album which has a drawing of a native of the Northwest Territories marked as From: Harry though the To is unreadable.

‎1911 - 1913 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF EXOTIC TRAVEL LOVE TRIANGLES SECRET ROMANCE HANDWRITTEN BY A FASCINATING EMOTIVE DEEPLY INTROSPECTIVE MAN FROM AN ARTISTIC FAMILY AND MARRIED TO AN ARTIST AND IN LAW TO A FRIEND OF BUFFALO BILL CODY‎

‎GERMANTOWN PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA BUENOS AIRES. Fair. 1911. On offer is a simply super original 1911 - 1913 manuscript diary handwritten by as stated in his own hand: "Harry Grant Pearson Manheim and Newhall St. Germantown Philadelphia. Private. c/o London and Brazilian Bank. Buenos Aires Argentina S. A." A very interesting man Harry was born into and married to a family of artists. His brother the famous painter Joseph Thurman Pearson Jr. his wife Jane Jarvis Mumford were both artists and his father in law was another rare character and friend of Wild Bill Cody. The diary is remarkable on a number of levels. On the one hand the narrative details a fascinating man's desperate love life and his time spent being torn between two women - one he marries and the other who remains a secret love throughout. Also noteworthy is the depth of emotion and intimate thoughts this man shares with his diary and as it states 'private' he means private as he shares his deepest and darkest feelings. This is very rare in men's diaries. Lastly this is a super travel diary wherein Harry writes of the six months he traveled to Argentina. The largish 5� x 8� inch book covers 71 full pages of writing. While he is not the kind of diarist who writes daily but when he has something to express or what he has observed. He really is a wonderful diarist. Here are some snippets: "March 5th 1911 A few days ago I finished reading "The Dairy of a Lost One." In many ways this book appealed to me and is really the origins of my present idea. To from time to time transfer my thoughts feelings and varied emotions into this book; that I may at some future time know what I lived at the present time. That it will hold no possible interest to any other than myself. I am sure and it is with the fixed idea that it is to be a thing my very own that I start the inking of my pages. Even at the beginning I find myself in my probably most embarrassing predicament which is my little ability to give expression to my stupid and sometimes some how interesting thoughts. It is true I have no brilliant mind nor overwhelming attractiveness to the mob but so far I have managed to bring through life without bringing upon myself any great or influencing dislikes or habits which sometimes surprises and at others amuses for I have a decided indifference to the opinions of herd of humanity. I am indeed happy and fortunate in the few friends I have taken into my life��." "March 8th 1911 Again I am alone but for my book and so I turn to it for a few minutes association. But little of interest has happened to me during the past few days. On Monday night I had the pleasure of seeing Isadora Duncan dance to music by the New York Orchestra. Walter Amrost leading. The music was quite on a level with the dancing which was indeed quite wonderful. The rhythm and poetry of her work made me feel that she was indeed an artist. ��" "March 9th 1911 It is getting late but I am not tired and so I turn again to my book. I believe this little recreation is going to be a real happiness to me. It is so good to have someone something to turn to and give your thoughts or your impressions in life�.At present Albert Laessle is about to put into plaster a portrait bust of myself which I think is a good strongly modeled head and quite worthy of the effort of its making. I hope soon to have it put into bronze and then I think I shall be quite content. I spend too many hours in my brother's studio watching him paint that I think he is one of my greatest delights. To me it is a great privilege to watch the development of a picture from the beginning to its finish and off it goes to an exhibition and I am happy to say usually receives favorable reviews. Two pictures are now at the Academy of Design in New York. The awards are made tomorrow and the exhibition opens to the public on Sunday. I am so anxious to hear of the awards and read the criticisms. If he could but get a medal! I should be happy for a month! What great happiness is sometimes given to us unknown to the giver." There is one more entry for March and then he skips now to September which is only on entry and then on to November "September 8th 1911 Long have I stayed away from my scribble. Long because I have feared to convey my feelings to paper because fear has entered into me and torn into my fear my soul my very life my conscious. Tumbles and turns my whole existence into turmoil in which there is no peace no seeming power to reconstruct." "November 1st 1911 Today has certainly been the most insulting day I have ever lived. To have stood there before two _______and hear myself called vile the vilest of vile names to feel that my very soul was being dragged in the dust and not be able to defend myself or crush the hideous fool who gushed forth his vile filthy stuff. I can not understand how I possible restrained myself. It seems incredible that I who so little fear physical hurt should have tolerated such a scene. What force was it in me that held my hand that controlled me under such horrible insults. At this time I cannot believe it was I who stood apparently undisturbed and strong enough to resist for the sake of a woman's honor and have gained nothing nothing but the disrespect of those who know of it and now surely believe me to be a coward or worse than nothing a fool." "November 11th 1911 A depression beyond my controls has seized me. I am as a bird wind tossed in the clouds at the mercy of the elements. The hope in life seems to be suddenly taken from me the strength to struggle and rise above the cause of my melancholy misfortune is gone. O what a mess I have made of my life. And in my sinking I grasped others and pulled them down with me into the darkness of despair. If I had not done that I think I might go on and hope and fight and win for myself a victory of some sort; but to have torn the very soul of another and wounded it to its very death. It is too much and I feel that my whole strength and struggles will be of no avail and the sense of faring a crime against a human soul will be upon me today tomorrow and for all time. It is indeed true that in life we pay for all things and I am but paying in this hour of discontent and despair for the happiness of yesterdays�." "November 17th 1911 �.Oh the horror of it all the horrors of my evil touch. I have felt it always and have so far as I have been able lived within myself and striven to hold my "different state of being" from the nearness of others. Especially from those who seemed to be influenced by it. For I realize that there are those who are attracted by my difference." "December 5th 1911 I think the pages of my book must shudder when it's transcribed to it the feelings of the past few days. Whew! What a physical young person I have been. I think I have never found myself so possessed by physical desire. It is alarming and brings fear; but I am fortunate in being the possessor of a mere bit of mental strength that holds me from committing an act of folly which I should never cease to regret. The possession of two friends is surely a thing to rejoice in. Times seem to have a tremendous power for pressing me into a weariness these days from which I am weak in freeing myself. It is best but it seems years since I have seen---today and in that instant I felt her weariness in some mental way transmitted to me. I am almost positive---was feeling the touch of the "blue devils" today and that the remembrances of other days was dwelling within and burning---and I must exist and hope and be of little use---small consolation." At this time he takes trip to Mohawk to stay with family for a while. The first trip was wonderful but the second trip he finds the depression sinking in "January 1912 ��.She is ever in my mind just as ever present as the morning and the evening time. Without her spiritual presence I should feel a deep depression of my whole being in which I should struggle and war against an ongoing and tortuous force incessantly. And yet I cannot be sometimes feel that such a condition would be preferable if by its presence it was certain that she had ceased to suffer through me. The relationship is impossible to me. I am blind and dumb when I strive to see or think of any solution in which peace happiness or contentment is to be found. I am sometimes forced to wonder what force it is stirring in me��." The above entry is longer and then there is one more before his next entry which is in December of 1912. He tore out some pages but explains why in this next passage "December 17 1912 on board S. S. Oceanic I am sorry I have destroyed certain pages of my ___book. How amusing it is going to be for me to read some day that day when I have found myself in Arcadia. It's going to come! I am wandering again friend book to Paris we go first. I think I am going to have many things to tell you before we go from Paris then we go traveling down to South America where God knows what awaits us. It seems friend book that love is driving us on most of our wanderings. But you know I do love her so I don't so much mind going on my little journey if in doing so I am helping her and I am certain that I am helping her in her very _____battles by coming away. If she doesn't win book it's going to hurt a lot for I love her more than anything in life---and which she is far from the land of contentment. I cannot possibly enter in myself. I don't want to go into that land without her. O if we might go together. The first thing at morn the last thing at night you are in my thoughts. I know you are going to prove to others that you are what I think you to be you must!" "December 23rd 1912 We are in Paris! But we find Paris not the Paris we had expected to; for woman has entered in again and controls my riotous thoughts. I had thought many stupidly wild things were going to entertain you; but instead you find me leading a most conservative existence�.I am going to be something more to her than a torture machine�." This above entry is actually 3 pages long. Now he writes on January 23rd 1913 while on the S. S. Amazon heading for South America. He uses about 1 � pages talking about his time in Paris and says "Remember the great amount of affection that took place in the Pension #14 Rue de Brea' Yes Paris was good and helped much." Then talks about the captain on the ship reaching South America; Vigo Lisbon and St. Vincent. This is about 7 pages long "January 28th 1913 The boat has run along quite beautifully in quiet seas beneath hot sun. The thermometer has reached 93 in the shade and possibly more. I have played cricket twice and as a result am sore from head to foot. The foolish side seems to behave itself and here I hope that it continues to do so. Some of the people have been amusing on board. One poor girl South American is in need of an operation my roommate has found a "Consolation and bedmate" and a few are trying hard to fall in toe. And myself I am the most virtuous individual the world has ever seen��." Bahia Corcovado Rio Santos -6 full pages "�.Yes sometimes weaving a thousand times a day my thoughts turn to----I can reach no conclusion----If it weren't for the kiddies it could be worked out so simply but with the children it seems impossible that we may ever be together. And then the horrible thought that possibly the emotion is quite one-sided comes and tortures and sickens my heart and makes the journey difficult. O! Its quite impossible that such a condition is possible!" in Buenos Aries Feb. 23rd eight pages long describing his time in B.A. in part: "February 23rd 1913�.I wonder whether in the living of her days a thought is ever sent out to me. She seems so far so very far away that I am often very much alone. She owns my life but even so she is not near me. My thoughts are of each morn each night----my hopes for her great happiness and contentment." "March 7th 1913 �.Have recently heard of Stanley's his brother going forth fighting for his lady love. It doesn't sound like the action of a Pearson; but noting could please me better than what he has done and I have great hopes for his ultimate happiness. I wonder when love is going to hit me in that way. It has more than once driven me from a woman but more in pursuit of the illusive creature. But life is young and possibly I have much in store for the big future of which I know nothing" He's now in San Louis and there are 8 pages devoted to his time there describing the place etc. "March 22nd 1913 Still loafing in the country what an oasis it is proving to be! I feel the bigness of out-doors stirring up within me a sober sense of contentment and health. Only one regret is within me the rain and probably foolish regret that I am the possessor of a very weak and unfit body�." He is staying with a man by the name of Moore in his country home. There are 19 pages devoted to his time in the country outside of B.A. He also returns to Boca La Boca and finds work there. "July 20th 1913 B.A. In the past few weeks I have been quite filled with a desire to be married and through with this wandering existence that has become mine. Dear good Jane has taunted my thoughts and I had decided that we must be married whether we had nothing in this world and must expect poverty to be our companion through the rest of our lives. But it has suddenly come to nothing. My misfortunate conscious will not allow me to forget all that has gone before and especially not the past three years in which I gave my body and soul to another. And she I allow myself to believe was absolutely sincere in giving herself to me. I simply can not take another into my life while the old influences clings to me as it does and feels the old fascination will still be there when I am home again and who knows the tread of her lips now Possibly she is to be cast from her old life possibly she needs me. I must not allow myself to come into such a position that I cannot go to her if she ever calls me. She owns my life and so I may not give it to another. Jane good and perfect Jane how I wish I might have her in my life even more intimately than she has been in the past. Ten years she has been the really great influence and I have given her small happiness for all she has given me. I wish she would marry and attain what she so greatly desires. For no one more deserves the attainment of desires than she. I have made rather a mess of things and I don't see much hope of ever being married but who knows but what happiness is to be given me in some other form�."; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF HARRY GRANT PEARSON MANHEIM JOSEPH THURMAN PEARSON JR.

‎HARRY O. LANNING‎

‎1911 - 1914 ARCHIVE OF HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARIES BY AN ASTUTE WIDOWED INDIANA SCIENCE TEACHER AS HE PURSUES HIS NEW LOVE - SUPER PRE WORLD WAR I AMERICANA‎

‎SWEETSER INDIANA IN. Good. 1911. Leather. On offer is an archive of four 4 handwritten manuscript diaries there is a 5th book only partially written mostly religious poetry representing the years 1911 1912 1913 and 1914. The diaries belonged to Harry O. Lanning who was a science teacher at the high school in Sweetser Indiana at the turn of the century. This diary set is an extraordinary record of pre-World War I Indiana with a sweet and interesting back story of romance too. Harry was born on October 21st 1882. His parents are William J. Lanning and Mary F. He has three brothers; Carl Hugh and Paul. Research suggests he was also a widower at the time the diaries were written because on several occasions he mentioned things like "she being a widow too" and other such phrases. Throughout all 4 of these well filled diaries you'll find Harry courting a woman by the name of Edith Lucille Cranor. Edith was born on April 13th 1889 and her folks are McClellan and Florence V. Chenoweth. The on-again off-again love affair and courtship of these two makes for a simmering backdrop to local news his duties and other 'affairs' as at times both are seeing other people. At one point Edith takes a 3 month trip to the West Coast and Harry finds out by word of mouth she wants to stay in the west and teach in New Mexico. That never turned out because on May 21st 1914 Edith and Harry marry. Harry is also very interested in politics especially with the Roosevelt elections and talks about the events surrounding the election a great deal. His teaching takes up a great deal of his life also not quite as much as Edith does and when it comes to writing about any of it Harry doesn't leave anything out. He's a member of the organization "Red Men" I believe it might be The Improved Order of Red Men fraternity and not only writes about his meetings but also mentions the surrounding Indian villages. Harry is a marvelous writer too. Here are just a few snippets of this marvelous bit of Hoosier Americana: 1911 "January 2nd School started off nicely after the vacation. Everybody seems to like the new program better than the older one. Well they all ought to considering the trouble I had to make it. Carl Masterson has started in bringing our number again to 49; but I am not certain that he will stick. Worked until 10 p.m. on the Red Men's books but we can't make a report. I had a suspicion that I was "stung" when the sachem put me on the audition committee and now I know it. The books are in a fearful tangle showing either ignorance or willful neglect on the part of at least two of the chiefs. The other members of the committee are Furgeson and Jerry Flinn. I imagine the report when it does come in will be an eye opener." "January 20th Edith Cranor called up this morning before I was out of bed to tell me that a little deal we had prearranged was due for this evening. So this evening I took Ferguson and went out to call on her and her friend Miss Shamshaw of Marion. We had a very pleasant time. About 10:30 I spread my handkerchief over the face of the clock and when I did look at my watch it was 1:10. Miss Edith informed me that she often spent her Sunday evenings alone in fact she took pains to repeat it three times with emphasis so I am just conceited enough to take it as a suggestion and shall act accordingly. Funny I haven't had a girl or even a chance at one for so long and now I have three chances at once�." "February 21st ��Went to lodge this evening. The tribe honored me by elevating me to the Prophet's stump. After lodge Ferguson and I went to the missionary tea to the parsonage. I took Edith home according to schedule�.I didn't want to wait until Sunday to see Edith again so I asked for Thursday evening in case the other affair is cancelled�." "March 11th ��In the afternoon I went to the Indiana to see the Countess Swiriska in her famous bare foot dances. She is certainly an artist and seemed totally oblivious to the fact that her attire was well scanty. As Edith had said she was going I was not surprised to see her and Mary S. there. She was enthusiastic in her and I am delighted to find that she is not a prude. Came home at 6:13. Went to lodge we had to take the first degree�." "April 24th This has been a very quiet day at school the lull before tomorrow's storm. The Juniors spent a part of the day in cleaning up the mess of last Friday nights reception. Edith came home this evening at 6:13. I met her and drove out north with her. I had seen her mother at church and told her it would please me very much if she Mrs. Overman would remain quietly at home and let me meet the girl. And she did. As tomorrow night is commencement and we both act I came home at 10:30. Talked with Mr. Shockey this evening and told him I did not want Cohn retained for next hear. He is too foolish after the little girls." "April 26th Was over at the school building this forenoon straightening up. We all settled with Shockey. It is the understanding that the Supt. and Assistant will be retained but that we will have a new principal. Cohn shook the dust of Sweetser from his feet this afternoon and departed for parts unknown. Was sorry to "sting" him but did not feel that it would be to the best interest of the school to keep him. The board looked over the building this forenoon and decided to give us an addition to the building and to put in furnace heat. Shockey told me definitely that I was to be retained and has left the interests of the school in my hands for the summer��" "May 3rd �.Met Edith at the train and we drove home. Enjoyed the drive very much. I wonder if I shall get to thinking so much of her that I shall attempt to "cut out" all my rivals for her affection. There is only one serious rival I think Mr. L. of Galveston�." "May 15th ��Saw Edith today in her working clothes and with her hair done up in everyday style. They are cleaning house but she looked good to me even that way and the girl that can stand that test is certainly all o.k�." "August 6th �.Am more than a little uncomfortable about last evenings developments; but am still hoping it will come out all right. Don't know just how much I care but it is more than a little. This evening I walked and walked and thought about the things she told me to think of but didn't solve the problem. Her greatest kick seems to be that I have been too good to her. Funny thing to kick about but she says I don't understand girls. I admit it. What man does. Am going to bed now 9:15 and try to forget it till morning�." "October 29th �.Edith came home today. She got into Marion last night or rather this morning at two. Saw her at the train this evening. She brought Mary Shamshaw up. Mary had spent the day with her. Didn't ask to go out only told her to call when she got ready to see me. This meant I was ready any time. Can't just figure how I stand with her�" "November 27th The John Stevens funeral was held today. Ferguson and I went up to the hall at eight and marched up with the Red Men. Then we held school until rest and dismissed about a half hour during the funeral. It has not been our policy to dismiss for funerals but said Stevens was related to almost half of the pupils and while I could not personally feel any great respect for a man who had been in the saloon business and wished to enter it again still he was a Red Man�." 1912 "January 29th �.I hear they had a scene at church last night. Vella Masterson was overcome with excitement and hysterics and lay unconscious for several hours. This is the natural result of the band of preaching that has been put out. It is a pity the courts can't be induced to grant injunctions in such cases." "January 30th Used my whole page last evening and didn't have room to say that Frank R. Ferguson Hugh and I played cards at Renbarger's while Pearl was at church. After she came home we took her in and played rum till 11:30. She reported another scene at church. A quarrel between John Spencer and his wife as to whether she should make a show of herself. Tonight I went to church and the measly little preacher made certain remarks for my special benefit that made me rub his name off my list of gentlemen. He hoped that my influence which was keeping the students from become Christians would soon be removed. This was wholly uncalled for and is utterly false." "February 29th Took Mills to see "Naughty Marietta" this evening. Enjoyed the show very much and altogether had a very pleasant trip. Although the evening was rather cold we managed to keep each other comfortably warm. It seems that she has "promised to be true" to J.J. but I am not sure that if he knew he would think she had kept her promise. In fact I am sure he would think she had not. But that is his lookout and hers not mine. I am by nature a poacher and she is very lovable as well as loving little girl. I shall look for every opportunity to poach some more." "April 8th Mr. Ferguson and Lucille had a misunderstanding today and the affair come to me to settle. As Mr. Ferguson tells me he charges Lucille with impertinence or even impudence. As she tells me he charged her with attempting to flirt with him during school hours. The affair is causing some stir. Mrs. Stife feels grievously offended over it." "April 17th ��Have spent the evening reading among other things the news of the Titanic disaster. Titanic hit iceberg in mid ocean Sunday night and went down. 1300 drowned 700 saved in life boats is wireless report�." "May 2nd �.The supreme court has decided that Marion is dry territory and that the saloon licenses issued last Sept. by Judge Nash are invalid or rather the case from Kokomo decided by the supreme court is similar and the decision applies to Marion. All the saloons are closed and Marian is again a dry town�." "May 23rd �.Spent the morning making that map of the Indian lands for Sarah Line. Had dinner with G. H. Terell and talked my township supervision proposition over with him. He is anxious to give it a trial next thing is to get Shockey in line for it��""May 26th �.This afternoon I attended the memorial meeting with the Red Men. Rev. Shannon delivered the address. It was excellent. The size of the audiences was disappointing both in number of Red Men and of Pale Faces. It seems that Cuyama tribe is dying out as fast as it possibly can. This evening I lay in the hammock from 6:00 to 9:15.�" He also mentions the Shanahan and the Peconga Tribes "June 20th & 21st �.The convention was in session only five minutes today. It is waiting for the report of the credentials committee. Everything seems to indicate that the Roosevelt men will be forced to quit the convention and form a new party. If they do they can count me in�.No change in the political situation. The Taft credentials committee sustained the committee made delegates and they voted themselves in�" "July 7th �.Attended the new party meeting at the hotel this evening. I was chosen delegate for this township to the state convention with Wm Baum as alternate. Reports from all over the country indicate that the new party will win. At least Taft will not be in the race at all." Goes to the district convention and describes it "August 25th �.Met Edith at the train this evening and took her home. Dr. Daniel's were there and after a little visit with them we went for a drive. We went to Connor's back to Jalapa and then around the Wabash Pike almost to the park and home over the Chapel Pike. It was a beautiful night and we had a dandy drive. There was a full moon and we did a little of something that rhymes with "it" Home at twelve a.m��" "October 13th ��We took a drive over to the Indian Village. Got back after supper at 6:30.�.We had some rather serious conversation this evening and I committed myself to the point of saying that while she had the right to have dates with other fellows if she wished I intended to try to get her to the point where she wouldn't want the others. I know it would mean a great deal to me for us to quit finally." "October 15th �.Roosevelt was shot by a fanatic at Milwaukee last night but is not thought to be in a dangerous condition. Think it will help rather than hinder his campaign. Still wondering what will be the outcome of my affair with Edith." 1913 "February 11th Everything ok at school. Went to Marion this evening. Saw Nels Shockey on the street at 7:30. Bertha has disappointed him completely. She came to town with him this morning and was to start home at four. Spent the whole evening with Nels trying to get some trace of her. We were at the police station and laid a case before Philips. Bertha was to be married Thursday to Glen Philips of Converse. She has either been kidnapped or has gone away to avoid her marriage. I am inclined to the latter view of the case�." "February 13th ��No clues to Bertha's disappearance yet. This was to have been her wedding day��." "February 20th �We have news this evening that Bertha Shockey has been found. She was found on the street in Lafayette and was brought to Wabash this afternoon. She doesn't know what has happened to her or where she has been during these nine days��" "March 25th Only half attendance at school. Roads flooded so they could not get in. Rain all day and again tonight. Marion under water. Destructive storms reported all over the country. 20 dead in tornado at Terre Haute. Train running irregularly or not at all��.News is scarce. No papers are coming into town. Trains not running regularly. Reports say 3000 dead at Dayton O. from bursting of dam; over 1000 lost at Pecqua and 150 at Peru�." 1913 "June 6th Had a great picnic today. Started at 8:30 this morning and just got home. Drove to the historic Frances Slocum burying ground. Had a picnic dinner and took picture with Milt's camera. At 4:30 we started back. Crossed the river at Somerset and camped for supper at our favorite place along the river road. Made a fire and broiled steak. Sat by the fire until 8:30 and then started home reluctantly. Would have rather had less driving time and more time for a picnic. Our little camp fire made us wish the time for our real camping would come sooner." "October 7th �.Edith has not quite made up her mind yet. Admits that she cares enough for fair weather but is not sure that her liking is great enough for the storms yet. Thinks that she will be able to tell me something before many days if I will but have patience." "October 12th �.Edith said three little words I have been waiting for so long and I am the luckiest man in the world. She is not sure that she cares enough yet for me to talk to her mother about it but we are certainly getting along. Don't think it will be long until I have some serious conversation with Mrs. O and invest in a diamond." "October 24th �.We are about to make our important decision. She said she would tell me "yes" or "no" Sunday. Don't think it will be "no" because she let me take her ruby ring so I could get one with a diamond in to fit the same finger." 1914 "May 21st Got up at 5:45. Paul took mother and me out to Overman's at seven and went back for father. After some trouble such as having a shirt too small and getting another brought out I got dressed and ready at 8:25. At 8:50 the ceremony was over and Edith was Mrs. L. breakfast was finished by ten and at eleven we left for Marion. Geo. B. brought us over. Golda Pearl and Madge S. came with us. After showering us with rice they left at twelve. We left Marion on the Big 4 at 12:20. Arrived at Indianapolis at 3:10 and are located at Hotel Metropole. Have taken things very easy for the little wife's sake since we got here. Didn't go out any place and I brought supper to the room. The only incident was a fire at the Plaza across the street. We are preparing for bed at nine. Am mighty glad things are as they are." The covers of all of the diaries are in poor condition but the pages and the bindings look great so please keep that in mind. These diaries are a treasure trove of genealogical information as there are many hundreds of people mentioned including just these few: Carl Masterson Jerry Flinn Frank Renbarger Starbuck Mary Mallott Mabel Stephens Virgil Stevens Bert Bragg Earle Anderson Vella Masterson Line Gerald Trowbridge Rev. Zerby Hollie Smith Vaughn Leming and so many more. The last little diary has hardly any entries but one very important one in the front. There is also a University of Maryland Matriculation card I found slipped between the page belonging to Mary F. Riddick Lanning. It dates from the 1950's. The diary however is from 1905 and in the front it says "December 18th 1905 Three more days until I will be a married woman. Dearest Savior guide me keep me near thy side. Help me to hold thee up in my new home. O! Help me for I trust only in thee�." Not sure who this belongs to. There are about 35 handwritten pages mostly religious poetry.

‎HARRY PHELPS‎

‎1900 - 1902 1916 - 1918 PAIR 2 OF DETAILED LOGBOOKS FROM THE LIFE OF COMMODORE HARRY PHELPS FIRST AS AN OFFICER ON THE USS CINCINNATI IN THE CARIBBEAN AND LATER AS A RETIRED CITIZEN LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA‎

‎ABOARD THE USS CINCINNATI SOUTHPORT N. CAROLINA 1900. On offer are two exceptional and detailed logbooks and journals from Harry Phelps a Lieutenant then Commodore in the United States Navy around the turn of the 20th century. The first book dates from 1900 and covers the period from October 1900 to November 1902. The second diary covers the period from 1916 to 1918 although the cover says �1906�. The two diaries are filled to the brim with writing about his life career and day-to-day activities. His writing is very simple stating in a matter-of-fact way the details of his day. For example: �Saturday October 13th 1900. We line out at half past seven have breakfast soon after eight and I go to the office by nine and am busy until noon when I go up to luncheon on my while. It is raining so I go back by the cars. I got to the carpenter�s shop to fix some shelving and work in the office from two to four when I walk home. I put up two shelves in our room and then shave and dress for dinner. After that I have a smoke and just before eight go with Ely to the National Theater to see �Lord and Lady Algy� which is very good in general. Home at half past eleven. I make some cocoa and we have supper and a smoke and turn in at half past twelve.� At the time of the first book Phelps is living in Washington D.C. and working at the Judge Advocate General�s Office. He spends most days working there though he does not go into specifics of the work he is doing there. He is also quite fond of spending time on the weekends at a carpentry shop where he fixes clocks builds furniture and reads the paper. It seems to be his weekend get away. At the end of 1901 Phelps travels to New York to recommission the USS Cincinnati after extensive repairs were done on it at the New York Navy Yard. �We go to the commandants and repast and I meet the clipper M. Jean.and go over to the C dock where the ship is then secured and go on board and at two-forty-five we put the �Cincinnati� in commission. I go up in the yard to get some instruments and things return by four and look up the dynamo rooms and some other things and at half past five go over to the Columbia.� Each page consists of two long columns for the day however Phelps does not abide by the dates in the diary but instead crosses them out and writes the dates himself. In February the ship goes out to sea: �I line out at quarter past seven reach the ship by eight have breakfast and then write until half past nine.after breakfast I read a bit and play cards until half past four when I get word we're going to sea so I get out the charts and instruments. At half past five I go shower by six have dinner and then sit and talk with my medic until eleven o�clock when I turn in.� From May 1902-January 1903 the USS Cincinnati protected American citizens and property in the Caribbean during political disturbances at Haiti Santo Domingo and Panama and brought relief supplies to Martinique after the devastating eruption of Mount Pelee. On the way down to the Caribbean the USS Cincinnati passes a ship carrying Prince Henry of Prussia: �.shave and dress have chow and then go to quarters at nine and give a salute as the President passes with Prince Henry to the launch of the yacht.� The event that Prince Henry is going to attend is the launching of Kaiser Wilhelm II's new yacht "Meteor III" christened by Miss Alice Roosevelt at Shooters Island in New York City. On the way down the �Cincinnati� stops at the Port of Charleston: �I turn out at seven o�clock and find Easter Sunday a beautiful day.have chow and at half past eight we get underway and start into the Port of Charleston with a pilot anchoring at ten o�clock. I am busy until noon getting various papers up and cleaning away the electric plant up at which I finish after breakfast.� He spends about a week and a half in Charleston doing various activities reading writing playing cards visiting with people he knows in the city etc. The ship makes stops in Haiti St. Vincent and the Grenadines St. Lucia Martinique Santo Domingo and Panama. In Martinique Phelps observes: �We approach the island at Chateau Belair then we close around the north east and south coast to port. The whole northern part is completely devastated by the volcanic eruption towns and in fact the entire country being completely buried by the mud and ashes. After breakfast I have a smoke lie down until four fix up some notices to mariners and then go on deck. We are under way at five and stand out around the western side of the Island. I get a departure at six.I go up and change the course a bit and pilot the ship to an anchorage off Port Castries where we anchor at eleven o�clock.� By the middle of June 1902 the ship is patrolling off the coast of Venezuela and Curacao then it heads back towards the end of the year to patrol more of the Caribbean islands such as Haiti. The first journal ends in San Juan Puerto Rico on November 27th 1902. Though the cover of the 2nd book states 1906. next book starts on March 28 1916 in Southport North Carolina. Phelps is by this time retired from the Navy and his life is considerably more consistent. His days consist of reading the paper visiting his daughter playing cards with friends going to the movies working on his home and other rather normal activities of a retired older man. The days are still written in an almost identical style to the ones from 10 years before. A typical day reads similar to this: �Monday April 10 1916. I turn out at eight o�clock make fire and read a bit then put fibre seat in one of our chairs.by noon play some cards and at noon go for the mail and return for dinner read until half past three start pump on small latch and go to post office return and secure pump and talk until five.have supper.read a bit go to the movies with My Marnie stop by Jimis.read to half past eleven and turn in at twelve o�clock.� The book goes until October 22 1918. Phelps would die at the end of 1919 in an automobile accident. Both books are in good condition. The front cover from both of the books is detached. The 1902 book is missing its spine leather while the 1916 book has one with significant wear. The pages within both books are still in good condition showing only limited foxing or age-toning. The handwriting is legible and easily readable in black ink throughout both books only occasionally showing fading or bleeding through the other side. In the first possibly Phelps has written in the coordinates next to different dates that the USS Cincinnati was at sea. It provides some very interesting contexts to the words written during those days. Background: USS Cincinnati C-7 was a protected cruiser and the lead ship of the Cincinnati-class cruiser for the United States Navy. She was launched on 10 November 1892 by New York Navy Yard; sponsored by Miss S. Mosby; and commissioned on 16 June 1894 Captain Henry Glass in command. She was the second ship to be named after Cincinnati Ohio. From May 1902-January 1903 Cincinnati protected American citizens and property in the Caribbean during political disturbances at Haiti Santo Domingo and Panama and brought relief supplies to Martinique after the devastating eruption of Mount Pelee; Harry Phelps was an officer in the United States Navy and a member of the United States Naval Academy Class of 1880. The Harry Phelps Papers span Phelps' thirty-six year naval career covering from 1877 to 1913 and consist primarily of letters written by Phelps to his mother encompassing Phelps' time as a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy his work with various survey teams and his time at the Judge Advocate General office in Washington D.C.; From the Wilmington Morning Star: �News has reached the city of the death in Norfolk of Commodore Harry Phelps well known here and in Southport. Commodore Phelps from what can be learned was killed in an automobile accident. His remains were sent to Oregon for interment'. His widow Mrs. Mamie Phelps was prior to her marriage Miss Mamie Thompson of Southport.� OVERALL: VG. Very Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript. hardcover‎
