‎Charles Green‎

‎1918 Original Handwritten Diary of a 65-Year-Old Widower in Rural Maine‎

‎On offer is a fine description of life in rural Maine at the end of World War I. The author of this 1918 diary is 65-year-old Charles Green of Skowhegan Maine. Green was born in 1853 and spent his entire life in and around the village where he lived with his wife and three sons. He passed away in 1935 at the age of 82. When Green recorded the events of this diary he was a widower--his wife Emma having died a year earlier. He spends his days doing a variety of small tasks and enjoys meeting friends to socialize and play cards at a local hotel: "A.M. About home. P.M. Went to see income tax man and bank and then went to Butler's office and had papers made out. Evening at hotel a while and come home 8:30. Fine day" January 29. "A.M. Split wood. Changed clothes and went to town and played 63 at hotel and went over to garage. Evening played 63 a while and come and wrote letters. Mild and rained some" February 12. "Got up and come home and read till 4:50 P. M. Then went to town at 5 the Hotel Coburn took fire and burnt down. A cold night" March 3. In the back of the book is a family record listing family members and their birth dates. There are also several pages of contact information for friends and acquaintances. This small pocket diary measures 3.0 inches by 4.75 inches and contains 183 pages. It is one hundred percent complete. The cover shows wear and the back cover has been damaged. The binding is in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is legible. For a local historian or genealogist this diary offers a fine picture of life in a small and fairly remote part of the United States at the close of World War I.

‎1862 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT CIVIL WAR ERA DIARY CHRONICLING THE TRAVELS AND TRAVAILS OF A CIRCUIT RIDER TEACHER IN CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE‎

‎New York New York NY USA Oneida Chenango county. Good. 1862. On offer is a super detailed Civil War era diary by a circuit-rider school teacher who we believe was a Charles J. Peterson of Philadelphia who details his visits stays 'scholars' and local events of the area he serviced in central New York state. The author has connections to the area as he mentions births and funerals specifically related to him and his family. This diary will prove a wealth of genealogical and historical first hand information in central New York State specifically Oneida and Chenango counties. Each day begins with where our author will sleep that night. He also records the number of students daily and then makes a separate note in the margin. Research suggests he is paid by the number of students he teaches per day. The writer is also very involved in the communities - singing schools assisting in farm chores; hauling wood taking up carpet tapping sugar bush cleaning up etc. being nominated at 'Caucus' to be a constable meetings with the Teacher's Association a child dying from diphtheria his own bout with Scarlet Fever and so on. It seems teaching duties end in the spring when the weather improves and though he travels around a bit still our writer settles with one family for the summer and does farm labor for the most part. Diary is a small size measures 4" x 2 ½" & is all intact & clean with supple pages some wear on spine.; Manuscript; 48mo - over 3" - 4" tall; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA 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 Papel CIVIL WAR WAR BETWEEN THE STATES UNION REBELS NEW YORK TEACHER TEACHING EDUCATION ONEIDA CHENANGO DIPTHERIA SCARLET FEVER GENEALOGICAL . unknown‎

‎Charles Leonard Cone and Marian Erma (Williams McCracken) Cone‎

‎1925-1938 Diaries of the Husband and Wife of a Stafford New York Farming Family Both of Whom Are on Their Second Marriages‎

‎Stafford Batavia New York New York State. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a terrific archive of two diaries and a cash accounts book kept by a farming husband and wife in Stafford New York which follow them from late in their courtship through their marriage and the family life that followed. The diaries belong to Charles Leonard Cone 1904-1978 and Marian Erma Williams McCracken Cone 1905-1995. Charles and Marian were each other’s second spouses. Charles’ first wife Mae Pinney died in 1926 while Marian divorced her first husband Ezekiel David McCracken in February of 1929 in her accounting notes she includes the $70.00 she paid for said divorce. Marian and Charles married on May 4 1929. They had ten children. They each entered their marriage with a child from their previous unions Evelyn and Charles Jr. . Together the couple had Doris who did not survive infancy Shirley Norma Laura Laverne Lloyd Robert and Betty. This collection of three diaries covers the years of 1925-1938. The first two books were kept by Marian. The first is a diary that covers January 1 1929-May 9 1929 and May 10 1930-August 5 1930 note that this is a 1929 diary and Marian has changed the year to 1930 beginning on May 10. The second is a cash account book offering a fascinating look at the cost of goods and services in the 1920s and 1930s. Marian begins the accounts book in January of 1925 and keeps it consistently until mid-1926. The book is then used inconsistently between 1928 and 1938 allowing the researcher to compare cost of living over the course of 13 years. The final dairy allows us to see the Cone’s world through their patriarch Charles. He keeps the diary mostly from January to April 1934 with a few entries in 1937. His entries are fairly brief but provide a nice contrast to Marian’s as he describes the work he does day to day. Some excerpts from Marian’s diary follow: “It has been pleasant just like a spring day. The snow is all gone. The creek is up to the road and it is raining tonight. I mopped and done my ironing this forenoon. We sewed this afternoon. I finished Elsi Scott’s dress and got Mother’s all done but the hem” Jan 18 1929. “It was pleasant only the wind blew. Louis plowed all day. We went over to Stafford and got our license this forenoon. We took Evelyn up to his folks while we went up and got married. We went up to Ruth’s tonight. Charles Junior came home with us this afternoon. Ruth and George had gone away. I made a cake and decorate it for Ruth’s birthday. I broke the starter again” May 4 1929. “Louis plowed over to the other place in the afternoon he dragged the barley ground. Charlie drilled the barley in the forenoon and sowed grass seed in the afternoon. I rolled a while in the afternoon” May 10 1930. “It was pleasant all day. The boys began pulling beans this morning. Had to fork them out by hand. I baked a cake and 2 pies this morning then went over and forked beans the rest of the day” Aug 28 1930. Excerpts from the Charles diary follow: “Arose 5: 30. Took children to school. Took Marian to dentist had all her teeth out. Rev Miller was here tonight. Mrs. Votry kept children” Feb 1 1934. “Fixed spreader in a. M. Cut awhile p. M. Until rain. Marian went to Batavia alone p. M. Omar and I went to night” Mar 31 1934. “Rose 3: 15. Loaded lambs. Fred helped us sold some potatoes worked around all day went to Raymond’s at night” Apr 9 1934. The diaries measure 7x4.5 inches 5.25x4.75 inches and 7x4.25 inches respectively. All are in Fair condition with notable wear to the covers. The books range from 30% to 60% complete. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author . hardcover‎

‎CHARLES M DAWSON‎

‎1876 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN ENGLISH WOOL MERCHANT'S 18 YEAR OLD SON WHO GAINS KNOWLEDGE CONFIDENCE AND EXPERIENCE IN CANADA AND THE USA BEFORE HE TACKLES CHINA‎

‎SS ADRIATIC AMERICA CANADA. Good. 1876. On offer is a super original May to September 1876 manuscript diary handwritten by Charles M. Dawson the son of British wool manufacturer Mark Dawson. Only 18 years old the tour to the US and Canada was undertaken to build up the confidence and experience of the scion of a successful enterprise. We note this trip was a prelude to a much longer undertaking in 1877 - 1878 when he visited China to sight-see conduct business but mostly to assess the market on behalf of his father's firm Mark Dawson & Sons of Bradford England worsted spinners est. 1848. We list these diaries separately Seller ID #0002187. Using a small 3 x 4 inch gilt edged undated note book with worn marbleized covers titled 'Log of my Journeyings in America and Canada from May 23rd 1876 Private' has approximately 115 pages of entries one cannot fail to be impressed by the maturity and composure of this young man who does a fine job of describing his voyage and his observations of all that he experiences. Adding further depth are a small number of illustrations by the young Dawson who is already quite and accomplished artist. We have a sketchbook he created much later in life. Beginning May 24 1876 leaving on the SS Adriatic from Liverpool we learn of seasickness whales icebergs and the death aboard ship of a young man in the last stage of consumption. Then to New York where his North American sojourn begins. Here are some snippets: Thursday Sept. 28 "This day being Pennsylvania Day all the stores were closed the streets were lined with bunting and flags as fine as are the 4th July - Geo having nothing to do he I set out early for the Exposition. We arrived there with great difficulty as every possible means of conveyance was crammed. The crowd at the Centennial was something fearful. Every passage and aisle was crowded to suffocation. We rambled around somehow nearly all day. We had a fine look in a Turkish café smoking long pipes and houkahas drinking coffee etc. We created a great sensation."

‎CHARLES MARSH‎

‎EXTRAÑA GLORIA. VIDA DE DIETRICH BONHOEFFER‎

‎Marcada por la fragmentariedad las interrupciones y los grandes interrogantes ante un futuro incierto la vida de Dietrich Bonhoeffer tuvo su mejor plasmación en una concepción teológica atenta precisamente a lo fragmentario cuyo acabamiento escribió «solo puede ser obra de Dios: son fragmentos que deben ser fragmentos». Sin embargo es posible hallar en esta existencia una convergencia que permite captar la totalidad en las partes. Es esta continuidad en el cambio la que sobresale en esta nueva biografía que al mismo tiempo refracta la realidad histórica en la experiencia personal de su protagonista. A partir de una cuidadosa indagación documental y de un exhaustivo conocimiento de sus escritos este libro reconstruye con talento narrativo las etapas y los momentos más significativos de la vida de Bonhoeffer. Pero no solo describe sus circunstancias y encrucijadas sino que penetra en el proceso de formación de sus convicciones más profundas. Charles Marsh presta especial atención a la posición de resistencia adoptada por Bonhoeffer a partir del ascenso del nacionalsocialismo y frente a la claudicación de la Iglesia oficial alemana pero también a su experiencia norteamericana en la que Bonhoeffer entra en contacto con otras comunidades cristianas como las de los negros de Harlem y aporta claves que ayudan a sopesar su rico legado teológico.‎

‎1910 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTERS COPYBOOK FILLED WITH ECLECTIC COPIES OF LETTERS TYPED AND HANDWRITTEN BY A GARRULOUS MARYLAND BUSINESSMAN SPORTSMAN AND POLITICO‎

‎FREDERICK MARYLAND. Good. 1910. Offered is a super letter copybook of 125 letters handwritten some typed by Charles P. Levy of Frederick Maryland. Mr. Levy is a bit of a character and somewhat garrulous as can be seen in his writings. The letters are an eclectic group some are business related some personal; about getting a gun repairs to it a hunting dog and hunting in general we note a letter to Governor Philip Lee Goldsboro on hunting laws and also important legal and judicial matters involving the county and environs. They are all from 1910-1912 and are in good condition. Here are some snippets of this interesting man: "I have on several occasions called the attention of both Judge Motter and Judge Peter to your cases and told them that you were very anxious to have them render their decisions on the demurrers…he promised me to see Judge Peter on Monday and come to a conclusion in the matter. He intimated that the demurrers would be overruled…" "Our December term of court is usually and unsatisfactory one in which to have cases assigned for a particular day as the court has to divide the time between Frederick and Montgomery Counties." "I used to raise Chickens but got tired of them and I have had no pets of that kind for some time and have been considering making a fresh start with pets of some kind which would not only be a pleasure but which would produce some revenue as well…I notice advertisements for guinea pigs frequently in the papers and very rarely see and advertised for sale and this gave me the idea there must be a fair demand for them…I intend to keep a few for my own pleasure…" "I examined the gun and accepted and paid for it. The gun is in fine condition except the very bad dent in the right barrel. Won't you kindly tell me what caused the dent and whether you have ever shot the right barrel since it received the injury and if so what effect it has on the shooting qualities and recoil of that barrel. In other respects I am very much pleased with the gun…" Letter to Parker Bros Meriden Connecticut…"I own one of your GH grade hammerless guns with Damascus barrels. In some way or other the right barrel has gotten a dent in it. The dent is apparently a slight one and yet it is perceptible on the inside of the barrel it is about the size of the small 1 in this type. Do you consider it safe to use the barrel in this condition Can you take the dent out and if so what would be the cost" "I bought eight guinea pigs about 3 weeks ago and four of them died soon after I got them…" "Queen is still lame she goes sort of sore and stiff like a dog often does the day after hard days hunt or like a very old dog. I am unable to locate the seat of the trouble sometimes it seems to be in the left shoulder and sometimes in the right hind leg but she does not flinch or show any signs of pain when you examine or press on these places…I gave her a two hours run in the fields yesterday a week ago but was not lucky enough to find any birds…" "What I want is a level headed steady going bird finder that will point every bird found and not one that chases all over the country and flushes as often as it points…I have a dog now that I need not pay attention to whatever he is not fast but finds more birds than half dozen of the race horse kind and he is just as steady as the last hour of the last day when he points you can eat your lunch and he will stay on point while you get through…" Overall G.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF CHARLES P.

‎CHARLES W JEWELL‎

‎1878 and 1884 ORIGINAL GROUP OF TWO 2 DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG VERMONT MAN TRYING HIS HAND AT MINING AND HOPING TO NOT END UP AMBUSHED BY INDIANS LIKE HIS FATHER‎

‎TOWLE CALIFORNIA. Good. 1878. On offer are two 2 original manuscript diaries handwritten by Charles W. Jewell b.1861 of Orange County Vermont. Dated 1878 Charles would be 17 years old and 1884 when Charles was twenty-three. The first book details his life at home in Vermont; the second diary finds Charles in Towle California working and mining until November 5th when by stage train and steamship he returns to Vermont. What is particularly fascinating about Charles' experience out west is firstly that the town of Towle located 2 miles east of Dutch Flat in Placer County California has a remarkable history: the town's founders the Towle family were also originally from Orange County Vermont. A huge coincidence or was Charles purposely reacquainting with folks from his home The second diary has an even more remarkable connection between Charles and the West which may very well be his own father who research suggests also Charles Jewell who lived in Umatilla County around Pendleton and whose death was infamously recorded: One online source provides: "1878….Umatilla County Oregon Mr. Charles Jewell hearing of the Indian outbreak secured an equipment of guns and carried them to his herders who were tending his sheep about thirty-five miles from Pendleton. He stopped at a rancher's door for a friendly chat and had barely alighted from his horse when a volley of shots from some ambushed Indians laid him on the ground. The other man was killed and Mr. Jewell was left for dead. When the Indians had gone he crawled into the house and secured a pair of blankets and a shingle. On the shingle he wrote: "Charles Jewell shot by Indians is in the brush near by call me if you see this." The wounded man then dragged himself to the road posted his sign here and crawled into the brush where he wrapped himself in the blankets. For three days and nights he lay without food or water and when finally some passing men found his sign and were led to him by his feeble answer to their call it was too late. He died a few days afterward in Pendleton." He also writes of a short trip to Lake Tahoe and Truckhee. On his way home by steamship down the Columbia River they stop in Pendleton and he writes about stopping at his "father's grave." Here are some snippets: 1878 "I wish you all a happy new year. Pleasant. I was up to Evins. Katie was up thare. I went down to W. River to school in a wagon. Katie was down thare and all the rest…….I went down to W.
