‎CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL‎

‎An Early 20th-Century Travel Journal From A Cruise Through The Caribbean Written By A Man From Hudson New York‎

‎CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL. Diary. 101 pages. The Caribbean. c. 1908-9. The handwritten journal belonging to C. B. Benson of Hudson New York. The diary recounts Benson’s experience on an organized cruise group visit to Caribbean locations such as St. Thomas Puerto Rico Kingston Jamaica Caracas Venezuela Panama City Panama Port of Spain Trinidad and Martinique. Benson records his experiences in each location including his impressions of the town the locals sights he visited and local travel. He visited forts a school churches a mill a sugar plantation and Carnival celebrations. Benson took his tour during the era of colonial rule the attitudes of which infuse both his experiences and observations. Based on his mention of an earthquake in Kingston Jamaica taking place a year or two before he travelled in 1908 or 1909. “…St. Thomas where we arrived about 6 A.M. mid morning Jan 26 is one of the Virgin group and we found her framed and frescoed in the principal churches. Columbus in 1493 gave the group of 100 islands rocks and…which comprise the group. St. Thomas is 13 miles in length and 3 miles in width at its broadest. And I guess we walked the length of it speaking broadly and in the abstract at this distance.The heat of the tropical sun also takes its toll and blurs our ideas of time and distance somewhat. The town of Charlotte Amelia contains 13000 inhabitants – merchants and black babies and they are all dressed in their Sunday best to receive us properly.Thursday morning at 8 we went ashore at Porto sic Rico.Returning thro the village streets we stopped at the market place and noticed the display of fruits in baskets a couple of men seated on low stools with blacks in front of them.a native woman…was entertaining us in the middle of the road with a dance.When passing the island of Haiti.‘Do you know why we do not stop at the Island of Haiti’ ‘No’ There are cannibals there there are so many fat people aboard you would lose your wife’ At St Thomas the American council held open house and received some of us who dared to invade this solitude.An hour’s railroad ride which was made interesting by stops at every little…and station where the bare legged boy with the oil gun in hand squirted oil…bearings sic of the cars and engine. As it was before the 17 miles came to an end the rear axle of the parlor car so called because it had leather covered reclining seats caught fire. But when this happened we were nearly at the end of our journey and we were not delayed much. At the sugar plantation where we detrained we found we had some distance to walk down…to the sugar mill. As there was no path and the sticky wet ground to soil made worse by the heavy rain of the night before.A sugar mill is never a clean place.The process is somewhat intricate but way he likened to the process of brewing.The cane piled up in the yard is boiled in a number of vats then is run off with barrels and in a black and solid state in shipped to the Refineries at New York. The fiber of the cane is then hardened and dried and is fed to the furnaces to boil…cane. After return to the town San Juan we visited the shops. Walked out to the fort at the entrance of the harbor. The town is excellently policed and paved in the principal streets with telegram blocks.As this day was Thursday we concluded that every day was wash day for the native women and girls who for want of other diversions spend most of their time in this form of dissipation. Even the balconies of the main public street filled with traffic of street cars carriages and drays had their fill of wash some of which are found laying in the street having been carried down by the wind. No one had appropriated it as yet; and we did not add it to our collection of souvenirs. At the officers quarters I applied for a permit of the officer of the day to enter the fort ‘San Cristobal’ the fort commanding the entrance to the harbor.The fort was like most forts. The high tower gave a commanding view of the town and harbor. Then we visited the Governor’s Palace. In the Reception Room hanging on opposite sides facing each other are life sized oil paintings of McKinley & Cleveland. In the garden were some large palms tropical ferns a fountain &.Jan 29. early in the morning we were at Kingston in Jamaica. The channel is narrow and tortuous but well… Taking a local pilot we soon…opposite it…of three vessels one of which was the Princess Louise that was caught in the hurricane here three years ago and…the larger of the three vessels was trying to pick up the light from the light house which had been blown down. This destruction of the hurricane.After driving about a mile thru the city the destruction to the buildings & pavements made by the earthquake here a year or two ago half of the city seems to be in ruins and no attempt has been made apparently to rebuild & restore the city. Thousands of lives were lost here at that time which did immense damage to the fruits. Most of the uninhabitable part of the island belongs to the United Fruit Company a Boston Corporation who ships immense quantities of bananas from Port Antonio. Owing to recent destruction by fire of Hotel Litchfield our stop at the port of San Antonio and stay of night at the Hotel was omitted. An excursion across the island by train to Mandeville was arranged in its place.The town of Colon in its principle streets are paved with brick and appear clean. We noticed many buzzards. The air was clear and there was a delightful cool breeze blowing.We stopped at all of the stations going to Panama and noted the wonderful impressions made by the Sanitary Commission. The well ventilated and screened houses. The plan for disposal of garbage the open drainage the cleared lands…But of course the facts are here – bug and drain – all working to the mutual exclusion of some ideas to the American white employers. Therefore after a few months they must have a reaction in the States to…and detach themselves from all absorbing facts. The fighting for life against…fires. Most things are…between the white employers and the black employees. So we find the ‘White Bar’ and the ‘Black Bar’ ‘The White Employees’ ‘The Silver White Employees’ &c as signs on the cars intended to carry workmen back and forth from the works.Caracas the capital of Venezuela is about 3000 ft up but the sun in the middle of the day we found very hot.Plaza Bolivar was decorated with rows of colored electric lights. They are preparing for the Carnival season which ushers in Lent in Catholic countries. The market place had counters for dry goods highly colored handkerchiefs etc. Another section was devoted to fruits vegetables etc. We noticed some very large apricots. Mr. Bolivar apparently has done a great deal for his native town. He has given his name – while the people furnished the funds – for the largest parks a street and the coinage of the plutocrats.The Spaniard the…Hildago -in his easy subjugation of the…pleasure loving tropical savage has replaced the native of simple taste and left in his place the mongrel half-breed with all the vices of the conqueror and none of the virtues of the…Indian savage…â€.

‎1950 JAPAN DIARY & PHOTO ALBUM‎

‎The Diary Of An American Officer Stationed In Japan In 1950; It Includes Dozens Of Photographs Of Labor Protests And The Officer’s Comments About The Unrest And Communism‎

‎JAPAN. Diary. January 14 1950 to late 1954. Various places Philadelphia Japan Fort Meade. A lengthy diary of an American officer Lieutenant Louis T. Holtz who was stationed in Japan during the Korean War. It was written on dozens of sheets of loose-leaf notebook pages and it contains many black and white photographs with captions as well as newspaper and magazine cutouts and brochures from places he visited. The diary begins on January 14 1950 in Philadelphia and he discuses seeing shows and such but notes that “All in all this constituted a very enjoyable ten days of leave prior to going overseas. Sometimes I wish I could stay at home and live a normal routine life like everyone else. Other times I find myself eager to go…Almost two years ago who could forecast a war in Korea and the manner in which it would rip everyone’s life to shreds†He writes on January 2 1951 from Kurume Japan: “…perhaps 10 years from now it the diary will be of interest – if any of our civilization remains in 1961…I collapsed 28 June and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with excessive fatigue…I am the Officer-in-charge of the Kurume Office with an area of jurisdiction of approximately 1000 square miles…â€. In April 1951 he mentions “I am very busy in my position as OIC Officer In Charge. It’s a full 7-day-a-week job…The Korean mess has everyone guessing as to eh future of the Far East…being the senior official in an area of jurisdiction of nearly 10000 square miles with dozens of mayors and police chiefs constantly catching my every word as official.â€. The next couple dozen pages contain black and white photographs of protests in Japan and Holtz’s commentary about the images including “When people get hurt propaganda fills the air. The winner: the Kremlin – always!†“Demonstrations take planning and people. You can always be sure the plans were framed in red and the spectators sprinkled liberally with dye-hard communist stooges†“Demonstrations & rallies are usually fantastically well organized. And as often as not they can be unbelievably orderly†and “But orderly or violent you can always be sure there is a professional communist keeping the ‘sheep’ in line or arousing them to maximum fury.†In September 1951 Holtz writes from Sapporro “…life in the Armed Services has been a miserable one because of one bad experience after another…Kurume was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable assignments I ever held. The 45th was without doubt the most bitter and least enjoyable. I gave up so much for so little…â€. Holtz was in California’s Camp Stoneman in November 1951: “…with all the hundreds of officers here not particularly anxious to go overseas and with several actually fighting the assignment I was amazed to find that someone eager to return is sidetracked so abruptly…â€. He was back in Japan by December and then wrote a lengthy entry entitled “The Korean Story†starting with “Combat precautions make it mandatory that no diaries or personal papers be kept where they may fall into enemy hands†and he spends the next seven pages describing his experiences in the Korean War. Holtz wrote in part: “…Things had not gone well at all with Trubota’s unit prior to August 1951. After my arrival working results proved very satisfactory…Three other officers has also joined up in the interim between leaving Sapporo and going to Korea…When oriented in Tokyo they were told that the 45th Detachment would remain in Sapporo and they had already alerted their families to start to prepare to join them overseas…I had to fight Trubota in order to be able to fight the enemy. In one occasion I was reprimanded for going to a forward observation post and not being personally available to answer the telephone at my CP…†and the section finishes with a photograph of the USS Marine Lynx the ship that brought him home. The diary continues with his being stationed at Maryland’s Fort Meade. There are photographs of the mansion he occupied in Kyushu Japanese women at the beach his fellow soldiers after a bowling tournament etc. There are “Samples of United Nations propaganda leaflets dropped on North Korean positions early in the Korean conflict†that show Truman and MacArthur a December 7 1950 letter signed by the mayor of Kurume City Japan. The condition is fine to very fine. unknown books‎

Miss Arthur was but seventeen years of age and was a young lady of much promise. -- The mysterious Providence which in the morning of life has removed from earth a darling child falls heavily upon the heads of a fond father and mother and a large circle of youthful friends and acquaintances. Truly we are as the flowers of the valley flourishing to day to-morrow no more!

"Weep not for her; she died in early youth Ere Hope had lost its rih romantic hues; When human bosoms deemed that home of truth And earth still gleamed with beauty's radiant dews Her summer prime waned not to days that freeze; Her wine of line was run not the the lees; Weep not for her.Weep not for her she is an angel now And treads the sapphire floors of Paradise; All darkness wiped from her refulgent brow; Sin sorrow suffering banished from her eyes Victorious over death to her appear The vista'd joys of Heaven's eternal year; Weep not for her."<br/><br/>Includes obituary notices for members of the local community and others in the family including brother Asahel Arthur who passed in 1914.

‎THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY. No. 908. FROM THURSDAY MAY 19 TO THURSDAY MAY 26 1737‎

‎Philadelphia: Andrew Bradford 1737. 4pp. illustrated with two woodcuts in the masthead and four maritime woodcuts in the text. Folio printed on a single folded sheet. Minor foxing and edge wear marginal stabholes along central vertical fold two short repaired horizontal tears. Very good. A rare issue of the first newspaper printed in Philadelphia and in fact the first American newspaper to appear outside Boston. THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY was founded by the pioneering Philadelphia printer Andrew Bradford in 1719. As would be expected this issue contains news from both Great Britain and the colonies. The first page contains a Parliamentary dispatch regarding the production of iron in the American colonies "where it is capable of being produced in every respect equal in Goodness to the best Iron from Sweden." and a report of a shipwreck off the coast of Bristol. Also included is shipping news from Boston and Philadelphia along with almost twenty advertisements containing information on ships for hire runaway servants trade services debt notices real estate offerings and more. <br> <br> Most notable among the advertisements are three relating to slaves. The first advertises for sale "A Likely young Negro Man about Seventeen that has been in the Country some Years and had the Small Pox." The second seeks return of a runaway "Servant Man named Patrick Burk a Saddler by Trade.of small stature brown Complexion short black Hair mark'd with the Small Pox." The last advertisement in the paper touts for sale "Very good Houshold sic Goods of all sorts: Also divers young Negro Boys and Girls all Born here." <br> <br> Andrew Bradford was the fourth printer in Philadelphia and the son of William Bradford the first printer there and in New York. The younger Bradford became Philadelphia's sole printer when he returned there in 1713 and remained so until Samuel Keimer arrived in 1723. He immediately obtained the lucrative contract to print the colony's laws and produced the first collected volume in 1714. He also published works on his own account including almanacs religious works broadsides the second edition of CONDUCTOR GENERALIS and the present newspaper. Bradford published the MERCURY from December 1719 until his death in 1742 though it was continued by others until 1749. <br> <br> Issues of THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY or any early 18th-century American newspaper rarely appear at auction or in the market.

‎American Newspaper: American Revolution‎

‎THE BOSTON GAZETTE AND THE COUNTRY JOURNAL. No. 1484‎

‎Boston: Benjamin Edes and sons 1783. 4pp. Folio. Old fold lines. Minor foxing and soiling. Very good plus. THE BOSTON GAZETTE published weekly was established in 1719 as a competitor to the BOSTON NEWS-LETTER and ran for nearly a century 1719-1798. From April 1756 to December 1793 it was published with the additional "AND COUNTRY JOURNAL." During the American Revolution the GAZETTE was a leading publisher of material protesting British taxes and anti-British sentiment. Contributors included such notable personages as Samuel Adams Phyllis Wheatley and Paul Revere who also did the engraving on the masthead. <br> <br> This issue from the end of the American Revolution contains a lengthy article written by "Grotius" on the evil of a federal impost and the rights of states to be independent. He writes: "For the general court to pass an act which they consider in its nature irrepealable thereby giving Congress the power of levying imposts of the property of this state.is 'delivering up the people to the subjection of a foreign power.'" Power assigned to Congress by the Articles of Confederation - or the lack thereof - would be hotly debated eventually leading to the creation of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. It also contains news from the front including an extract from a letter by General Greene to Congress announcing the flight of the British from Charleston. A nice piece from the Revolution.
