AK JACOBS A K
1862 ORIGINAL INTRIGUING MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ENGINEER AND SCHOOL TEACHER WHO INSISTS HE IS "INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES"
ELMIRA WILLIAMSPORT LUZERNE COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA. Fair. 1862. On offer is an original rather enigmatic and very intriguing 1862 manuscript diary handwritten by A. K. Jacobs a 22 year old man he is 23 years old on December 23rd who at the beginning of the diary was a teacher at Eckley School and going to White Haven in Luzerne County. Soon he tires of teaching a Mr. Tarbox takes over and Mr. Jacobs heads to Philadelphia then to Harrisburg Williamsport Elmira and finally ends up on the shores of Lake Erie where starts an engineering/surveying job research finds a civil engineer A. K. Jacobs in the 1880 census living in Lock Haven Pennsylvania born in 1840 and married to a Mary and no doubt the same author of this book. Historians and researchers of the era and the region will find a number of intrigues. In one case he seems to be caught up in some kind of scandal or legal troubles. He writes: "August 9th Received a letter from L. Hyndman. Heard what the people at Eckley think of me. Have from all accounts a pretty hard name but am innocent of all the charges." In another circumstance that while there is hardly mention of the Civil War but Jacobs left drafts of two different letters in the back of the book on the blanks one to a women he loves named Emma and the other a 'Letter to the Editor' and in part it reads: "
.The last battle before Richmond has caused the people in this Erie and adjoining counties to mourn for friends and relatives who laid down their lives for their country. They were principally of the 83rd Reg. Pvt. Col. McLane who was a citizen of Erie I believe was pretty badly cut up when he returned to camp
" Here are other snippets: 1862 "January 1st Had a good crowd all day at the bar. Fell very tired at night." "April 9th Wrote to J. L. Hyndman. Spent a very unpleasant day in school. Scholars very troublesome and mischievous. Felt bad because Jane did not give me an answer when I wanted to go up with her to Mary's." "April 12th Went to White Haven in the afternoon. Brought a horse wagon over. Took Jane out to the valley. Had quite a happy time. Got back at 4 o'clock. Stayed with her till two." "April 23rd Taught as usual. Made arrangements to stay with Jane. Attended church at the Episcopal Church. Had quite an exciting time with Jane. She got excited and got a fit." "May 23rd Lieut. C. Straw and Jack Durst visited me this forenoon. School small today." "May 28th Came back to Eckley this morning. I am going to quit teaching and am going into Engineering. Leave next Monday. Went to Jeddo after school. Engaged Mr. Tarbox to take my school next week." "May 31st Came back to Eckley ran around and settled my business. Stayed with Jane. Had a good time. Retired about 3 o'clock. Took Jane out riding had a nice time." "June 4th in Philadelphia Spent the day in visiting the Navy Yard. Evening went to the theatre. Welch arrived today." "June 6th Looking up some records to assist us in the survey. Left Williamsport at 6 in the evening for Elmira. Arrived there at 4 in the morning. The train being detained by the freight train running off track." "June 7th Ran around Elmira visited the Water Cure. E. is quite a city. Left E. for Erie at 5 in the afternoon. Arrived in Erie at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Went to bed at 3. Slept very sound." "June 15th Went to church in the morning. Afternoon went down to the Lake. Went aboard a vessel there. Welch sketched Presque Island." in Belle Valley "July 20th Spent the day at Stranahan. Had a good time with Jennie in the evening. Am going to take her to the ball on Friday next." "July 21st & 22nd Moved our boarding place to Concord. Worked on the line and distributed stakes. Ran up to Corry
.Worked on Hu Line. Did a good says work after which went to Huron for supper then to Stranahan's intending to come back but being prevailed upon to stay. We did. Stranahan and family are fine folks." "July 25th Worked all day. Evening took Jennie Stanahan to a ball. Had a good time. Kept it up till day light." "July 27th Arose at 8 o'clock. Took breakfast and went down to Stranahan's. Heard of some remarks made about my being "Light" at the ball last Friday night. Not true." "August 10th Went to Corry to a war meeting held there. Saw quite a crowd. Took dinner at the Boston House with George McBride engineer on the passenger train." "September 2nd Welch and I went to Spring Creek. I had a good time with Miss Emma and we had a glorious time all around. Am going to correspond with her Miss Emma. She is a mighty fine girl." "October 22nd & 23rd Met Emack Davison. Garden party on the train. Came down with them and had a time with them
.Stopped at the boarding house all day. Made drafts of bridges." "November 6th Received a letter from Beisel. Run levels. Weather quite cold. Fire feels comfortable. David Tate I am to pay 25 cents. Attended an apple cut in the evening at Capt. Graham's. Had a nice time." "November 21st Spent the day at the boarding house. Attended a performance by Rivers Troupe in the evening. Very good performance." "December 19th Went to Pittsfield and stopped all night. Attended a ball at Warner's Hotel. Met Emma there. Spent an hour pleasantly with her. Retired about 3 o'clock." Much of the diary was written in pencil and a few of the entries are a bit faded and smudged. There are a total of 227 days worth of entries and the back is also filled up with expense entries and additional notes. Much of those blank pages are from January 2nd to March 30th and then the entries become more regular. The diary measures about 3 ¼" x 5 ¾" and although all the pages are accounted for the binding is loose as are some of the pages so it does need some archival repair but overall the book is Fair.; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: CIVIL WAR MEN'S STUDIES PENNSYLVANIA ECKLEY EIRE WILLIAMSPORT JACOBS LUZERNE COUNTY Ephemera Hand Written Personal Americana Memoir Handwritten autograph autographs signed letters document documents manuscript manuscripts writers writer author Holograph personal Ephemera antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito . unknown

FINE condition in a NEAR FINE only very lightly rubbed dust jacket. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NOT price clipped $19.95. A bright shiny clean square tight copy. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp -- probably never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. First printing with a complete number row 10 987654321 on the copyright page. Illustrated with 16 pages of full-color photographs. Bound in the original blue boards with a red spine lettered in shiny gold. LAID-IN IS A POSTCARD that promotes the 2002 Michelle Akers Classic. It has a full color photo of her and is also imprinted with her street address in Oviedo Florida and her website. From the Dust Jacket: "One look into her eyes and you know she means business; get the ball anywhere near her and you'll find out for sure. This is not your run-of-the-mill world-class athlete -- this is Michelle Akers a champion whose incredible drive and skills are legendary in women's soccer. This is the woman USA TODAY called the 'heart and soul' of the history-making 1999 U.S. Women's World Cup Soccer Championship Team. THE GAME AND THE GLORY takes you inside the life of one of the greatest female athletes of our time and shows you what makes a true champion. It's more than ability -- it's an inner fire that blazes its hottest when the winds of adversity blow their strongest. But for all her tremendous grit and ability there is one opponent even Michelle Akers can't shake. It's called Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome CFIDS and it affects every area of her life draining the energy needed just to function let alone play sports. Akers may be the only person with CFIDS who has ever continued to compete on a world level. From her childhood infatuation with soccer to high school days in Seattle playing with the U-19 Flyers to training at the University of Central Florida to the rigors of the U.S. Women's National Team Akers retraces her guts-and-glory road to the Rose Bowl and the 1999 World Cup victory. You'll learn about the indomitable drive to win that has made her one of the top scorers and most feared opponents in women's soccer. And you'll witness the unflagging endurance that has propelled her past multiple injuries and the ravages of CFIDS to sustain a fifteen-year career with the national team. You'll also read about Michelle's life off the playing field: her relationship with family coaches friends and teammates her personal struggles and her faith in Jesus Christ that has kept her fighting -- and winning -- against unimaginable odds. Former U.S. Soccer coach Tony DiCicco has called Michelle Akers 'the best woman that's ever played the game period.' THE GAME AND THE GLORY will show you why. Here in her own straightforward words is the true-life story of an amazing athlete -- and a remarkable woman.". Signed by Michelle Akers #10. First Printing of the First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 240pp. Zondervan Publishing House Hardcover

AL-KHÂTIB AL-BAGDÂDÎ [ABÛ BAKR AHMAD IBN 'ALÎ IBN THÂBIT IBN AHMAD IBN MÂHDÎ AL-SHAFÎ'Î], (Arabic historian, Sunni Muslim scholar), (1002-1071).
[THE CITY OF PEACE: COMPLETE "BAGHDAD" AS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WORK OF THE ISLAMIC RENAISSANCE] Târîkh Bagdâd aw medînet al-salâm: Wad'uhu fî azhâ 'usûr al-Islâm mundu ta'sîsihâ ilâ wafâtihi 'âm 463 h. 8. Edited by Mohammad Amîn al-Hanjî. [i.e. History of Baghdad or the city of peace]. 14 volumes set.
Very Good Arabic Original brown half leather bindings in Egyptian style, raised six bands to spine, title gilt on the second, volume nos on fourth, and alphabetical with the historical content of the volumes on sixth compartments and "Mahmoud Al-Tawawî" name. Minor foxing on some pages. Overall a very good set. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Arabic. 14 books are complete set in 7 volumes. Extremely rare first printed edition of the most comprehensive and complete corpus on Baghdad city, which includes Al-Baghdadi's first-hand account of the collection of hadiths, biographies, and his travels in the 11th century Baghdad in traditional "al-râwî" style. Al-Baghdadi is known as a Muslim traveler in the pursuit of knowledge who compiled hadiths and traveled to many Islamic cities. He was born on the 24th ?jumada II, 392 (1002) at Darzidjan, a large village on the west bank of the Tigris below Baghdad. The son of a khatib [i.e. preacher], he began his studies very early and spent his youth traveling in search of ?adith. In this way, he visited Basra, Nishapur, I?fahân, Hamadân, and Damascus. Finally settling in Baghdâd, he held the office of a kha?îb and this was the origin of the name al-Khatîb al-Bag_dadi. After completing his education, he spent more than twenty years of his time writing "Tarikh Baghdad". He finished his corpus in 444 AH [1052-53]. He was a fellow student of Rîsürrüesâ Ibn al-Muslima who was the vizier of the Abbasid caliph Kâim-Biemrillâh. The vizier took Khatib, whom he appreciated in the science of hadith, under his patronage. The Abbasid caliph, therefore, ordered Khatib to be given permission to take hadith lessons from him. Khatib started to narrate hadiths from "Tarikh Baghdad" to his students here in his house near the Nizâmiya Madrasa, on the other hand, he started to read the books for which he had permission to narrate from many teachers, also write the books he planned. Several years after, the Turkish commander Besasiri (?-1060), who was a supporter of the Fatimid Caliph Mustansir-Billâh, entered Baghdad with the encouragement of the Fatimid caliph, deposed the caliph, and killed Ibn al-Muslima. Some members of the Hanbali sect, who had a grudge against Khatib because of what they wrote against some Hanbalis in Tarikh Baghdad, started to disturb him by taking the opportunity to kill the vizier. Therefore, he had to flee to Damascus. In his masterpiece, Khatibi, in addition to his account and descriptions of the city during his time in Baghdad, 7831 figures of people in total who lived or came in Baghdad before 450 (1058), statesmen such as caliphs, viziers, commanders, poets, judges, and other professions. This is an alphabetical work giving information about biographies of these figures, but it starts with the name "Muhammad" referring to the Muslim prophet. The first volume is about the establishment of Baghdad in the pre-Islamic period, its conquest by the Muslims, and its history. This masterpiece of him, published in fourteen volumes, is the most comprehensive corpus written on Baghdad in the Islamic world including the city's topography, history, et alli.
