‎1896 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOUNG MUSLIM MAN WHO WITNESSES THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER AT THE HANDS OF THE SULTAN'S SOLDIERS HIS MOTHER BY ROBBERS AND HIS SUBSEQUENT ENSLAVEMENT AS A GUNMAKER AND TRAINING AT AMERICA'S WINCHESTER ARMS FACTORY‎

‎FEZ MOROCCO CASABLANCA SAHARA DESERT NORTH AFRICA. Very Good. 1896. On offer is a simply sensational riveting original very intriguing significant manuscript autobiography dated Dec. 27 '96 1896 of a young Muslim boy who recounts over 69 or so pages his birth on the sands of the desert near Fez and his enslavement and eventual repatriation. The details of his life a nothing short of remarkable for readers in the 21st Century: his parents; a father of immense piety his mother an outcast of her tribe and himself a young boy who would eventually watch his father and his mother be murdered separately. Historians and researchers will find a fascinating and arguably an unparalleled first-hand account of this boy's life under Islamic Code and his utterances provide a full understanding of his beliefs and the guidance they provide his humanity. Even a casual read reveals an eyebrow raising narrative: after the murder of his father by the Sultan's soldiers and his mother by robbers he was taken captive as a slave and apprenticed to a gunsmith who finished guns for the Sultan's army. The unidentified author and some other slaves were apprenticed to the Sultan's gunsmith and were at one time sent to America where they were to work in what appears to be the Winchester Gun Factory in order to learn the art of gun making - to provide better guns for Sultan's army. The details of travels suffering and cruelty are all related but in a quick paced to the point manner. After returning from his training he was returned to his master at Casablanca. It appears that the author escaped slavery around this time and eventually returned to his homeland in the Sahara Desert where he had a deep religious experience and felt the call of Allah on his life to become a hadji like his father. With this call he sought out the place where his father had lived to claim that dwelling as his own. The manuscript begins: "I was born on the sands of the Sahara where the caravans come up from Timbuctoo. The white sands that stretch away from the mountains on the West toward the end of the world behind these mountains there is nothing and no one has been there but towards the East one may go as far as Mecca and become a Hadji as was my father. All this is the land of the true believer where he may hear and obey the call of the Prophet and live in the true faith. The sun shines there always and there are no rains as in other lands to torment the faithful. If clouds come it is but to chase their shadows on the sunlit sand. My father was a saint and lived in a white tomb overlooking the plain and near the ___ of the great caravan . . . . He was a holy man who made the journey to Mecca many times. Sickness and death did not molest him so that he knew he was accepted of Allah and waited only the call of the Prophet. . . . . It was caravans from the south that were the most interesting for thy brought the slaves that should serve the faithful at Fez and Wazan. As true believers we could rejoice at their captivity for they would be converted. They were mostly in chains each with a heavy ring about his neck from which a chain extended to a ring upon the neck of his neighbour and there were always some rings without necks by counting which you might know how many had died in coming through the desert. My father thought that all should be killed as infidels hateful to Allah intolerable to the faithful but the people of the caravans thought not so claiming the example of Mohamad who spread the faith by conquest." We learn that his father's piety was also his downfall as he was enraged by an infidel Englishman travelling under the Sultan's protection and after he raised a knife to attack the infidel he was summarily destroyed by the Sultan's troops. His mother died within days at the hand of robbers who stole the camel she was given as a blood libel payment. The boy's description of the Englishman's attitude of the blood libel payment is near comedic if it was not so insensitive to the local custom. Toward the conclusion of the 69 page manuscript is the following interesting statement regarding the author's account of his experiences. After describing his having found a place of safety in the mosque of Edris he writes "Not far away is the house of the books of a thousand years near which dwells the scribe who has written this for me to send to the head man a Lida Winster Winchester gun house. A gun maker in the old street goes shortly to see Caid Cobb at Cassablanca. I know not why he has promised to give the Caid this writing to be sent to the head man also to say to the Caid that the man who made it was dead." The work closes with the following: "Soon the rains will be over and then I will walk southward to the place where my father dwelt and seize the tomb in which he lived for it is my right. There only is the land of the true believer where he may hear and obey the call of the prophet. There he needs neither mosque nor Caid for he has the protection of the white sand of the desert and its rainless sky." We note there is what we believe is a later ownership inscription with the name J.G. Bennett 258 Church Street. Research suggests this was likely the noted Islamist John Godolphin Bennett who may have received the book after as the book relates it was sent to the head man at Winchester. The manuscript is written in a ledger style book with black boards and red morocco spine cover and corners. The spine cover is missing. Wear to extremities and fading in one area on the upper front panel corner. The early pages are alphabetized followed by 245 pages of very thin paper. The biographical account is written on the first 69 pages are upon this thin stock. With a few exceptions the back of each page is blank. The work is entirely in pencil with corrections made here and there as will be noted in the accompanying scans. The pages are all intact with only the first page showing a small separation from the inner hinge. The last page blank is mostly missing---no writing evident on this page. The covers are loose and there is weakness in the spine but nothing that affects the text. Occasional light brown age spots otherwise the pages are quite clean.

‎Very Good. 1920. On offer is a charming original manuscript relic of an early 20th Century travel by author lecturer and professional world traveler William A. Brooks of Wellesley Hills Massachusetts. While not a journal of a particular trip or tour Brooks writes a wonderful account of the many many people he has met over the years and from the many countries he has visited. This travel journal is typed likely from handwritten notes and likely prepared for publication though we cannot find any such publications.

‎1938 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL JOURNAL AND ACTIVITIES DIARY OF HITLER YOUTH TROOP GEFOLGSCHAFTEN 6/59 AS THEY MARCH FROM STUTTGART TO BADEN BADEN SPREADING THE MESSAGE OF THE THIRD REICH‎

‎STUTTGART TO BADEN BADEN GERMANY. Very Good. 1938. On offer is an original historically significant manuscript relic of World War II and the Nazi regime being a handwritten book and travel diary of a 'famed' Hitler Youth Hitler Jugend troop. Likely created by one of the more calligraphic hands in the troop or perhaps commissioned by the troop historians and researchers of the group and Hitler's manipulation of German youth will find a unique and historical journal enhanced further by numerous photographs a map mileage log etc. plus some ephemera tucked in all in period gothic German language calligraphy. It appears that the troop der Gefolgschaften 6/59 spent July of 1938 on foot travelling from Stuttgart to Baden Baden. Adding further cachet are later entries dated 1991 wherein home addresses and names of all participants at a reunion are included. Research finds that this particular troop of Hitler Youth enjoyed a fair amount of newspaper attention as they were considered a premier group. The premium 10 x 7.5 inch book as attested by the designer onion skin page separators and thick rag bond has sixty 60 pages almost all filled. Intriguingly the books is filled with group and paired shots of the young men but the back fep features a photo of a woman identified in pencil as 'Elly aus Berneck'. The photographs add proof to the propaganda side to the Hitler Youth as they spread good will and even manual labor as shown in the pictures throughout the trip. This is a superb unusual relic of the immediate pre World War II Nazi era. HISTORICAL NOTES: Youth Camps were critical to Hitler's rise to power. One online source quotes Kurt Gruber the director of the movement saying: the Hitler Youth "a new youth movement of young social-revolutionary minded Germans" trained to risk their own lives if necessary to free Germany from "the shackles of Capitalists and the enemies of the German race." "….a very heavy emphasis on competition. Just about every task no matter how big or small was turned into an individual team or unit competition. This included boys and girls sports the quality of singing during propaganda marches and Winter Aid collections. Boys and girls were kept constantly busy. The Nazis took advantage of the natural enthusiasm of young people their craving for action and desire for peer approval hoping ultimately each young person would come to regard his or her HJ or BDM unit as a home away from home or perhaps as their real home."

‎Elinor Presson Richardson‎

‎1915-1927 Manuscript Poetry Collection of Tufts University Newspaper Editor with Distinct Literary Talent Who Died before She Could Achieve Notoriety‎

‎Tufts University Essex Massachusetts: Tufts University Sigma Kappa C1920s. Good. 1915-1927. Softcover. On offer are two volumes of poetry and prose written by a talented young American writer. These two books are soft-cover lined notebooks. They are in excellent condition. Included with them are a number of loose-leaf pages and a black and white photograph of an unidentified woman. The author of this collection is Elinor Presson Richardson. She lived in Essex MA. She was born in 1905 and passed away at the young age of 24. Following secondary school he attended Tufts University and was a member of Sigma Kappa sorority. The book of poetry opens with an entry dated October 1919 written when she was 14. In it she states: "This book is given to the poems and stories written by me! "Me" is Elinor Presson Richardson. They date from when I was very young the poems do at least to when I am quite grown up. I am writing this in my fourteenth year. As I just happened to think I'd like to keep my originals. Signed E. P. Richardson October '19" p 1. The first entries were written about 1915 and the last entries in 1927. There are several 3-5 page stories that she submitted to the Boston Traveler writing contest for students. One is set in France during WWI. There are many poems and the breadth of subjects is wide. They range from the whimsical to the serious and sometimes touch on events in the world around her. She writes one poem about the failure of the St. Raphael to successfully cross the Atlantic Ocean and the ensuing death of Princess Anne Löwenstein-Wertheim. She has a good sense of humour which is often expressed such as here in Ode To A Curl: "O' golden ringlet/Witching curl/Lets hope you never may unfurl/Like shavings from your cobbles shoes/Lets hope your curl you never lose". That's followed immediately by Richardson's Ode to Straight Hair. There is a clipping of and essay she submitted to The Beacon her high school literary magazine which she edited in her senior year 1923-4. A rather wry note is jotted in June 1926: "And then I went to College - apparently inspiration ceased. Can I recall it" And indeed she did as this comment is followed by several poems that were published in the Tuftonian Tufts University literary publication where she served as one of "two Jackson editors". The second volume contains poems that date from 1923 to 1928. Some reappear from the first volume in a more edited form. Several are on types pages inserted into the book pages that contain her name and address. There is a 4-page handwritten list of publications that accept poetry and 4 pages of notes on ideas for submitting poems for children. This is a very fine collection of writing from an accomplished young writer. She displays a natural ability with words and a literary scholar would recognize and appreciate her talent. Her early death was a loss to American Literature. Both diaries are softcover and measure 9.75"x7.5". The 1919 diary has 74 pages and is 100% complete. The 1923 diary contains 100 pages and is 25% complete. Both diaries are in good condition. ; Manuscripts; 9.75" x 7.5"; Signed by Author . Tufts University Sigma Kappa C1920s paperback‎

‎CAROLINE LAURA RICE‎

‎1885 ORIGINAL GROUP OF THREE 3 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE WIFE OF NOTED REVEREND WILLIAM RICE‎

‎SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1885. On offer is an interesting group of three 3 original manuscript diaries for 1885 1886 and 1887 handwritten as identified in two of the three books by C. L. Rice of Springfield Massachusetts. Research leaves little doubt that this was Caroline Laura Rice wife of Reverend William Rice. The noteworthy see the BIO NOTES below Reverend Rice was born on March 10th about 1821 and Caroline born in 1820. While she did not write every day between the three books there are about 373 pages making for them an average of one third full each. Illness may have played a part in this as it seems that Caroline is crippled in a wheel chair and in some way; at least it seems that way during the time these diaries were written. She notes that they carried her up stairs in her new chair. Then through 1885 and 1886 the doctor visits and recommends a "rubber" who is plainly a masseuse who frequently gives her massages. That said she is 65 years old and perhaps her aging is advanced. Here are some snippets: 1885 "Miriam came up with the two boys. Horace is to sit for a crayon picture.

On offer is a couple 2 of elegantly written highly detailed cookbooks of Mary Ann Prosser nee Taylor 1862-1915 a wife of Sir John Prosser Writer to the Signet and grandmother of William David Prosser Lord Prosser a prominent lawyer and advocate for the arts in Edinburgh.

There is a handwritten date July 1886 in one of the books which was two months before her wedding and the address of their family home in Edinburgh: 4 Bellevue Crescent. The books contain many recipes typical for Scottish and English cuisine of that time and of French dishes. Unlike many cookbooks that presume previous cooking experience this one contains minute nuances about cooking times quantity of ingredients kitchen utensils to use giving an insight into lifestyle and diet of a well-off Edinburgh family in 1880s. The first book starts with the basic recipes how to boil vegetables fry herring and haddock: "Little fresh haddock: Skin them sprinkle with salt dip in flour paint-over with egg dip in bread crumbs pop into boiling fat for 3 minutes" and also includes more complicated dishes like a turtle soup which took 3 days to prepare. It describes a wide variety of seafood dishes like Finnan haddock and lobster pates and extensive use of entrails typical for Scottish cuisine: "Sheep kidney for frying ox kidney for stewing…" recipes of savory and sweet omelets many sauces: apple brandy mint sherry Soubise Hollandaise sauce for plum pudding variety of desserts including traditional Scottish tipsy cake fig pudding and molded jelly desserts favorites of Victorian times and also many recipes of French origin like Maitre d'Hotel Butter or Potatoes a la Duchess.

The second book is not dated it includes an index with 83 recipes and contains few brief remarks regarding cooking process. Last pages are missing. There are many wonderfully sounding recipes of sweet and savory dishes of which we give two examples: "Mock turtle soup - calf's head blanched washed and boiled in water and salt and a lump of beef; skim it when it comes to the boil put in whole carrots whole onions with stalks celery and basil. When cooked take out the calf's head and take the meat off the bones put bones back into pot and as many other bones as you have and let them boil for long enough!! Strain it put on to boil with little pieces of fat from calf' head put in some cornflour having mixed it with some cold water or sherry the skins of the onions give the soup nice brown color."
