‎Charles A White‎

‎1952 Original Handwritten Diary Account of an American Army Mp Who Witnesses the Bloody May Day Riots in Japan and Serves in the Korean War‎

‎On offer is a small diary where young American Army MP Charles A. White recorded his experiences in Korea during the war. <br /><br />White was from St. Louis Missouri. He enlisted in the United States army in 1948 and served in the 95th Military Police Battalion. This battalion was the largest most geographically dispersed military police battalion in the United States Army. The unit fell under the command of the 18th Military Police Brigade. The 95th was activated in June 1945 in Germany and operated until its inactivation in June 2014. It served in post-war Germany the Korean War the Vietnam War Iraq and Afghanistan. <br /><br />White's diary begins with him preparing to board the troop carrier USNS General Hugh J. Gaffey leaving from Fort Leonard Wood and bound for Korea. "Went aboard USNS Gen. Hugh J. Gaffey at 1300. Cold nasty day. Ship large nice. Sposed to be best troop ship. Pacific. Movies crowded. Food not bad. Weather warming. Do nothing today but police. Am enjoying trip a lot. Wish was in Navy. Ship 16000 tons. 608 feet 23 knots. Said to be in tail of hurricane. Weather worsening. Little sleep tonight almost tossed out top bunk. Still stormy; ships paper reports 60 foot waves still supposed in hurricane. Dependents topside. Certainly going first class" April 2. <br /><br />On April 14 the ship arrived in Japan. "Weather nasty. Word passed we have guard tomorrow for debarkation. Rainy. Passed Yokosuka dropped hook. Still raining cold. Guard debarked ship. Jap train to Camp Drake. Processed. First views of Japanese and buildings. Little wooden hovels and some US type buildings. People smile seem very friendly to US G. I.' s. Drake's buildings 450 ft. Long. Jap prep school. PX fabulous. Thru processing. Hope I get G. H. Q. Find M-1 for zero. Japanese are interesting bunch. All smiles and little bows. Beginning to realize a little of what people like about this place." <br /><br /> White's April 30th entry discusses the Bloody May Day riots for which he was present. By June he had arrived in Korea. "We pull CQ here every fifteen days and it gets rather tiresome after awhile. Have a lot of planes. Red and Yellow for air and ground attack several air alerts but no enemy planes. The Han Bridge is blocked out as is a great deal of the area surrounding it which makes it a glorious black target in the midst of the lited area in case of a possible raid. Won is supposedly sold legally at 6000 to the dollar but the value fluctuates with the time of the month near or far from payday on the black market and who buys it legally The usual range is from 7000 right after payday to maybe 110000 toward the end of the month. You are continually besieged by little boys who look to be about 7 but are probably nearer 17 who want to 'changyamung' or invite you to a 'Horahora' where they assure you the girls are all clean well educated and Japanese" June 9. <br /><br />Measuring approximately 2.5 inches by 5.75 inches the diary contains 52 pages and is approximately fifty percent complete. The cover and binding are in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is legible. This is an excellent perspective of the Korean War seen through the eyes of an MP who was there on the ground. A military historian would find this valuable in cross-referencing other information. White's comments add a human note to this very grim war experience. hardcover‎

‎Charles Albert Rodock‎

‎1943 Manuscript Diary and Personal Items of a US Navy Recruit from Ohio Who is Delighted to Join Up and Describes Daily Training with Enthusiasm and Rare Detail‎

‎Great Lakes Training Center Chicago Nellie Ohio. Good with no dust jacket. 1943. Hardcover. On offer is a diary that doubles as a coming-of-age tale of a 20-year-old newly inducted US Navy serviceman from Nellie Ohio kept for three months in 1943 while he trained at the Great Lakes Training Center near Chicago graduated took a short leave back in Ohio and headed to his next base in Hitchcock Texas. During this time he describes in very impressive and rarely-seen detail every aspect of his training and adjustment to army life. The author of this diary is Charles Albert Rodock 1922-2012 who worked as a grinder at the Timken Company in Canton Ohio for his entire career. He married bookkeeper Mary Kathryn Jones 1927-2017 and together they had one child Deborah Jean b. 1952. To learn more about Charles and the Rodock family of Ohio see BIO NOTES at end of listing. Charles registered for the army in 1942 at age 19 and was inducted into the army on March 9 1943 and began training at the Great Lakes Training Centre on March 19 1943. He kept this diary carefully until a few days before he was transferred to the Naval Air Station Hitchcock Texas in late June 1943.Charles follows the flow of his My Life in the Service diary to the tee. He fills five pages titled “My Buddies” and “My Buddies in the Service” to record and have his pals record their names addresses and some well wishes. He leaves the intervening pages blank and picks back up at the “diary” section of the book and begins right at the beginning: “I was sent to Columbus for induction into the US Army. I chose Navy and was held over that night” March 9. Over the next several days he writes of each day’s events related to his induction into the service from his swearing in to his medical checks to his travel to Chicago where he arrived on March 18. His energy for his new job as a member of the US Navy cannot be overstated nor can the detail with which he describes his daily routine as he trains into his role. Excerpts give a sense for the vigour and detail with which Rodock writes: “Up at 5: 30 in the morning. Took a physical exam. Passed with flying colors. Got a real set of clothes and sure wasn’t sorry I joined the Navy. Sure got my first taste of navy chow. Breakfast was good Dinner fish and Supper stews. What a time when I first got into my Navy blues which made me feel like I just became a man” March 19. “Went to morning quarters inspection for the first time. We have it every morning from here on out. Had a class in Navy statutes and then clothes rolling. I got all of mine done in good shape. Bag inspection is soo so the C. P. O said. Company is beginning to go to work and get things done. We got our smokery privilege but no canteen privilege yet. Got a very nice picture from Betty” April 7. “Got a class in boxing and final two shots. They were the worst two and one fellow fainted as we were about to leave the drill hall. Then we drilled four hours in the afternoon. I stood guard while the boys went to a show…” April 8. “To day was a long tiresome and very disgusting day. We were on regimented work detail. Started off with early morning quarters and then fire drill…. Ended up by standing guard from 8: 00PM util 12: 00 midnight” April 9. “We got up and then started to pack our things sea going style. We cleaned up the barracks and started to our new camp at 8: 30 AM. Arrived in Camp Green Bay at 10: 00 AM and met our new C. P. O. He gave us instructions on first about every thing. I met Buck at the canteen at 5: 30PM. He sure was glad to see Jack and I. We had quite a get together. I took him into my barracks and I went into his afterwards. Then I had charge of taking the boys to the show. We saw “Cabin in the Sky”. Then we got back to our new barracks and prepared for bed. It sure was a great day and a busy one. Because of our first time for moving” April 24. “This looks as if the last day Jack and I are going to be together. He is being drafted to Saben Pass Texas and I am going to Hitchcock Texas air base. We packed our gear and left New Orleans naval station at 8: 30. We rode the train all night and got in Houston Texas” June 11. “I unloaded bombs weighing 325 lbs almost all day long. I then cleaned up and went on Liberty. I sure was tired and didn’t feel like doing much. Met several nice gals and sure had a good time” June 21. While this diary does not contain the action that a frontline WWII diary might the detail with which Charles describes his experience leaving nothing out from the moment he is inducted into the army through his graduation from training and trip to his first naval base makes it a true treasure. This diary would be of interest to anyone interested in World War Two from the perspective of the young recruit or the lived experience of a young small town man coming-of-age in the army. This diary measures approximately 6x4.5 inches. 53 pages are filled with long newsy legible diary entries an additional 5 pages have names and addresses of the author’s pals and approximately 4 other pages in the diary have been filled in. The diary is hardcover and in good condition with only typical signs of age and wear typical of a diary of its age. Included with the diary are a number of Rodock’s photos ephemera and a personal bible gifted to Rodock and inscribed by his reverend. These accompanying pieces add colour to Rodock’s story.

‎CHARLES DAWSON MCALLISTER; GAYLORD GILBERT‎

‎1932 SUPER SIGNIFICANT ORIGINAL TYPED MANUSCRIPT LOG BOOK DETAILING AN EARLY AVIATION EVENT OF STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT IN AN OPEN AIR BI-PLANE BY AN EARLY AVIATION PIONEER AND GREAT FRIEND OF CHARLES LINDBERGH‎

‎DAYTON OHIO TO PORTLAND OREGON. Good. 1932. On offer is a superb and quite rare logbook detailing a cross-continent flight in an open-air biplane. Measuring 11 inches by 8 inches the log book contains 19 typed pages plus 2 pages of orders The log book has a hard bound cover and it is in excellent condition. It is one of only five copies made. The log details a cross-country flight in 1932 in a two-seat open-cockpit BT-2B Douglas biplane by First Lieutenant Air Corps Charles Dawson McAllister and Captain Gaylord S. Gilbert Cavalry National Guard. The flight was a training flight authorized by the chief of the Air Corps via Special Orders No. 188. Its purpose was to attend the Legion Convention in Portland OR. The flight log describes the details of their flight and personal reactions in a very informal sometimes humorous style. Includes a page detailing takeoff and landing points times of arrival and departure miles and time in the air for each leg of the journey. Tucked inside is an article from Purdue's alumni magazine The Triad published March 1933 describing the flight; the article has two photographs. Charles Dawson McAllister 1896-1997 was born in Logansport Indiana. He entered the military service in May 1917 and served in WWI as a lieutenant in infantry. He later graduated from Purdue; at one time he was head of the Purdue Alumni Association. In 1924 he transferred to the Air Corps and eventually became Chief Electrical Unit Engineering Section of the Air Corps. In the 1940s he ran the country's only B-24 training program. McAllister had a storied flying career. Before retiring as a colonel he flew 6200 hours for the Army. He also flew 5000 hours in his own planes - including a 19000-mile trip to the southern tip of South America. McAllister was associated with a young Charles Lindbergh. On March 26 1925 McAllister and Lindbergh who were both in flight school were involved in a much-reported mid-air plane collision out of Kelly Field. At the time McAllister was an officer and Lindbergh only a cadet. The two along with an instructor were on a three-plane training maneuver during which Lindbergh according to McAllister hit McAllister's plane. Both safely bailed out. The two had a relationship which continued over the years. He passed away in 1997 at the age of 102. Co-pilot Gilbert graduated from law school in Louisville KY and was a captain of cavalry in the Kentucky National Guard. Casual research did not turn up any additional biographical information on Gilbert. They flew a BT 2B Douglas biplane. Built as an observation aircraft for the United States Army in the 1920's this was a very reliable plane. The Douglas Aircraft Company was founded in 1921. In 1967 it merged with McDonnell Aircraft to become McDonnell Douglas. In 1997 McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing Aircraft. The flight detailed in the logbook began and ended at Wright Field Dayton OH. They took off on September 7 1932 and made 10 stops along the way -- Minneapolis Municipal Airport Minneapolis MN; Great Falls Municipal Airport Great Falls MT; Boeing Field Seattle WA; Pearson Field Portland OR; Crissy Field San Francisco CA; Clover Field Santa Monica CA; March Field Riverside CA; Phoenix Airport Phoenix AZ; Biggs Field El Paso TX; and Fort Sill OK. They returned to Wright Field on September 21 1932. The log was written mostly by Gilbert. In addition to flight and navigation details Gilbert makes frequent personal comments. September 7th - Wednesday 9:30 A.M E.S.T. left Wright Field Ohio; weather - perfect. Wind - north. Temperature - mild. 12:15 P.M. C.S.T. left CHICAGO Terrain flat to MT. HOREB WIS. Good landing. Then rough rolling to LACROSSE. Poor Landing. Weather - prefect. Average calm flying low all the way under 1000 feet to take advantage of wind Rough over Wisconsin. I had apple pie too early this morning. May not keep it. Just got rid of apple pie etc. over WISCONSIN…I climbed up to 3000 feet altitude where it was smooth but wind too strong to make speed. September 8th - Thursday 9:50 A. M. We are cruising at 112 mph and compass reads two points north of west. Over the plains now. There is a nice herd of cattle. I will have these notes typed when I return to the office with extra copies. I am passing the note book forward to MAC. Maybe he wants to say whether or not this country is worth fighting for September 9th - Friday It was too rough to do any writing in the plane yesterday P.M. but I will try to describe in a very few words our experience over the ROCKIES at the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. About 3:30 P.M. we were flying due west at 5000 feet over the desert of SOUTHERN MONTANA. We had taken off our jackets and opened our shirts trying to keep cool through the desert climate. Just as we were nearing the foothills a "LINE-SQUALL" struck us and the ship dropped several feet and then twisted right and left and up and down. MAC's life belt was unfastened and he was trying to control the ship with one hand and fasten his belt with the other. This air disturbance lasted for several minutes immediately we encountered a 65 mile wind from the northwest. The air was exceedingly rough and we were tossed up and down right and left. We continued fighting this storm for over an hour with the nose of the 'plane pointing northwest into the storm but the 'plane actually travelling a due westwardly course. It seemed to me that the 'plane was hardly moving. For another one and one half hours we continued to freeze and fight that windstorm 9000 feet over the rocky peaks of the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. Arriving at the convention in Portland OR Gilbert comment on the outstanding hospitality: I never saw a CONVENTION CITY give so much away free to the VETS as PORTLAND did this year . p7 The log details some of the activities in which they participated and them documents their return trip to Wright Field. There is a summary of the flight data for each 'leg' of the journey. And on the last page Gilbert identifies who received each of the 5 copies of this log. This is a rare and valuable document that provides an excellent 'cockpit view' of the state of flying in 1932. The dry flight data is accompanied by the wry and frequently humorous comments that Gilbert makes in his entries. An aviation historian would find this log a goldmine of information about this plane - only one of which exists today. A geographer would appreciate the detailed descriptions of the terrain they flew over much of it a low altitudes.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF CHARLES DAWSON MCALLISTER; GAYLORD GILBERT; LEGION CONVENTION PORTLAND OR 1932; BT-2B DOUGLAS; DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT COMPANY; MCDONNELL DOUGLAS; BOEING EARLY FLIGHT CROSS CONTINENTAL AIRPLANE FLIGHT CHARLES LINDBERGH OPEN COCKPIT OPEN AIR BIPLANE AEROPLANES TRAINING FLIGHT AVIATION PIONEERS AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL 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 . unknown‎

‎Charles Dalton‎

‎Memoir of Captain Dalton : Defender of Trichinopoly, 1752-1753‎

‎About The Book : The Indian historian of the eighteenth century, transferred a great part of the contents of the MS. journal kept by Captain Dalton, during the last few years of his service in India, to his History of the War in India, which appeared in 1763. Much of the credit that devolved upon Orme for his historical production was really due to Dalton, and it is because this fact still remains unknown that I now publish the military memoirs of my great- grandfather, who supplied the historian with the minute details which characterise a great part of the first volume of a work which went through four editions, and has supplied the foundations stone of all subsequent works relating to the transactions of the British in India a hundred and thirty odd years ago. I am quite sure, desired no public acknowledgment of the favour he conferred upon the historian, by furnishing him with the interesting chronicle of the stirring military events which took place in Southern India between 1750 and 1754. About The Author : Charlie Dalton (1850-1913) was from Drumcondra in Dublin. After the free state was established he became a colonel in the new Irish Army, and along with Major-General Liam Tobin, signed the ultimatum that instigated the Army Mutiny in 1924.Liz Gillis is a historian and tour guide in Kilmainham Jail. She is the author of 'Revolution in Dublin' (2013) and 'The Fall of Dublin', part of the Military History of the Irish Civil War series.‎

‎CHARLES F BER_____, USN‎

‎1923 - 1925 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT ABOARD THE NEWLY COMMISSIONED USS RALEIGH WHO DETAILS NAVAL LIFE 'BETWEEN THE WARS'‎

‎USS RALEIGH ASEA ICELAND CUBA GUANTANAMO BAY. Good. 1923. On offer are a sensational pair 2 of original 1923 - 1925 manuscript diaries handwritten by a young sailor named Charles F. Ber_____ it is difficult to make out his last name which is written on a fragment of the inside front cover but researchers with access to crew manifests will undoubtedly confirm the full name who served on the USS Raleigh CL-7 in the Sick Bay medical department as a senior assistant to the doctor. The two diaries cover almost three years from the USS Raleigh's initial commissioning with over 400 pages of writing with significant entries throughout for historians and researchers interested in the 'between wars' years on a ship of some renown. Charles does a super job detailing his life aboard ship and on land from even before she was first launched but also with the ship when they sailed to Iceland Guantanamo Bay Panama Canal Zone California and Hawaii just to name a few. The author is quite detail oriented and records the mundane and the unique. For example while in Iceland he sees two movie companies making films on shore and talks in detail about some historical air flights. Here are some snippets: 1923 "September 7th I was discharged at the Naval Hospital League Island Pennsylvania by Commander R.C. Holcomb MC U.S.N. The Captain Raymond Spear was on leave at the time." "September 9th & 10th George Bayard and wife Emma Dallago and Rita Whitney had lunch with me. After lunch we sang and danced in the administration building. Afterwards we went out in the Navy Yard and went aboard the Birmingham; Mercy and some destroyers….Left Philadelphia early Monday morning for Washington. Emma Dallago was with me. It was her first visit to the capitol city. We spent a real pleasant day in Washington. I asked Dr. Buell's of the Bu. M. & S. for foreign shore duty but he refused me so I asked for the New Scout Cruiser U.S.S. Raleigh and he granted my request. Emma left for Philadelphia at 7:00 P.M. and I left for Laurel Mississippi at 10:00 P.M. I was on 30 days leave." "October 11th Reported to Lt. Commander F. X. Koltes for detail. He was acting as the Executive officer at the time. I asked for the lab detail and my request was granted." "October 23rd Orders arrived for my transfer to the Rec.

We got lost twice during the night and once about 8:00 A.M. We will not go to Annapolis until Monday or Tuesday. We are going there so the 1924 class can look over the ship. We turned south some time yesterday. We anchored some time between 4:00 and 5:00 P.M. We got underway some time later. At about 7:00 P.M. we anchored for the night. We are supposed to be about 10 miles southeast of Cape Charles Light. At one time we were in 7 fathoms of water….We weighed anchor and got underway about 6:30 A.M. We are now in the Chesapeake Bay. Land on our port side. We are anchored some where in Chesapeake Bay. No inspection. We weigh anchor at 11:30 A.M. and headed for Hampton Roads. A Navy tug Hercules brought towed a motor boat out to us while we were at anchor. A boat like the Gig. It carried a whale boat back in its place. Sent a bag of mail ashore by the tug. We got under way and then anchored again lowered the sea plane over the side. We are headed for Solomon's Island. We are going to Graves End instead of South Hampton. It is a beautiful day."

Some girls visited the W.O's and had show with them. A Sea-2C AP.A.H. tried to swim ashore and decided it was too far so he thought he would commit suicide. He lost his nerve and hollered for help." "June 24th ……Left Quincy about 3:00 P.M. We passed a floater in a bathing suit and the ship was stopped and a whaleboat sent out to look for the floater. He was not found. A tug came alongside and took the pilot ashore. The plane had been up and the photographer took some pictures of the Raleigh. While we were stopped we took the plane aboard. The day is a hot sunny day." "July 9th We are indeed in the land of the midnight sun. It hardly gets dark before it is light again. I got up at 5:00 A.M. There is land in sight. The clocks and watches were set ahead one hour at 7:30 A.M. Greenwich time Hebrides Islands. We had general quarters and man the rail. We are in sight of Scotland. We passed through the Pentland Firth into the North Sea about 3:30 P.M. We passed between Scotland and the Orkney Islands. The Shetland Islands are north of us but not in sight. There are numerous travelers in the North Sea. I helped print some pictures tonight." "July 28th & 29th The Richmond came in this A.M. at 10:00 o'clock. It is foggy and cold. The seas are running high. We are to leave at 8:00 P.M. for Iceland. We left at about 8:00 P.M. and just before 9:00 P.M. the clocks and watches were turned back one hour. It is stormy weather…We have pretty weather and smooth seas. General quarters this A.M. We are due to land or arrive at our destination tomorrow morning at 2:00 A.M. Hornafjord Iceland." "August 3rd Sick call and quarters this A.M. A bunch of chiefs went ashore this A.M. The other aviator #2 plane went by at 1:12 P.M. We got underway about 9:00 A.M. and went to sea. We returned as soon as the plane passed. One plane #3 made a forced landing before it reached us. The liberty party came back about 6:00 P.M. and the seas were running high along side the ship. The seas were six or eight feet high. The party in the whale boat landed in the starboard torpedo room." "August 8th It is still raining. Our planes are making hops. I went ashore at 1:00 P.M. and returned at 3:30 P.M. One of the world flyer planes is on the beach. It is #4. New Orleans. One of the aviators from plane #3 came aboard the Raleigh. I noticed two movie men ashore A Pathe' and International making pictures. We are to go toward Greenland tomorrow on a scouting trip. Maurice drunk." "August 10th Sick call as usual. About 10:00 A.M. we sighted icebergs. There are 40 lookouts on deck. It is cold and foggy but the sun is trying to shine. We are going to send the planes out on a scouting trip. If they find a good place to land they will return to the ship and carry gas and anchors ashore. I am trying to go ashore with them. They will have to wear side arms. I will not get to go with the planes. At about 4:30 P.M. we hit an iceberg. It bent one blade on the forward starboard propeller and bent the after starboard propeller shaft. Collision was sounded. We are in the midst of big icebergs and are likely to hit them at any time. The fog is still thick. It lifts a bit and then settles down again. We are proceeding very slow. At times we have to back down. We headed out of the ice fields. At 11:00 P.M. we lay to. We're out of the ice fields and danger zone. I saw the Northern Lights aurora borealis for the first time. It was a beautiful sight." "August 21st The Army planes hopped off this A.M. at about 4:00 o'clock. It is a bad day. The sea is more or less rough. The wop flyer started with the other two planes but when they passed the Barry he was 25 minutes ahead. The wop is trying to go to the North Pole……At 3:30 P.M. there was no sign or no news of the Army planes so we got underway and started towards Barry in search of them. The ships were lined up from Iceland to Greenland as follows; Richmond Billingsley Reed Barry and Raleigh. The Milwaukee is on the other side of Greenland. Planes #2 and 4 landed in Greenland all ok. We don't know where the wop is. We have not heard from him as yet. We did not see the other planes pass us on account of the fog. I heard two different rumors about the wop's flight. One is that he is headed for the pole; the other is that he is going around the world. 826 miles from Iceland to Greenland." "August 23rd It is cloudy this A.M. but our two planes were lowered over the side about 5:00 A.M. and went in search of the Italian plane. The Italian's plane is an all metal plane. Our planes returned about 7:30 A.M. and left again about 10:00 A.M. and returned at 12:30. Only one plane went on the 10:00 A.M. trip. Lt. Collins and RM-3C Daniels was in one plane and Lt. Flemings and CMMA Ormsbee was in the other one. The second trip Lt. Collins and ACMM Ormsbee made the second trip….A Danish war vessel "The Island Falk" sent Eskimos out in their kayaks to look for the Italians and they also sent a motor boat to look for them…."

We continue to pass islands. It is getting cooler all the time. No quarters or general quarters today. The first general court martial was handed out today to Madigan. The uniform is now undress whites with jumpers. The last movie show was tonight." 1925 "February 9th Arrived at Guantanamo Bay at 12:15 A.M. and after unloading some supplies and mail to the Whitney we departed at 3:20 A.M. The Detroit's steering gear and turbines went on the blink. She had to stop in the bay for awhile but she beat us to Guantanamo Bay. The Trenton had to stop in the bay for awhile to get a corpse ashore. A man died with ___ pneumonia. We left mail with the Whitney but we did not get any in return. We arrived in Guantanamo Bay at 11:45 A.M. will be here all night. It is so clear in the water that we can see the bottom at six or seven fathoms 36 or 42 feet. The Detroit Cincinnati Milwaukee and Richmond were here when we arrived. We had general quarters this afternoon. Movies at night." "February 19th No quarters yesterday or today.

I inquired of the patrol if any one had turned in a pen to them but no one had so I am still a pen shy…." "August 18th About 5:30 P.M. a boiler exploded on a boat going from Newport to Pawtucket. Two people were killed and several injured. The injured were taken to the Naval Hospital. I got to the hospital about seven o'clock and stayed until about eleven. It was a horrible sight in the ward. Men women and children were burned. The Mackinac." One diary is housed in a 6-ring binder measuring about 4" x 6". The other has lost the covers save for the aforementioned fragment.

‎1909-1920 Archive of Diaries Following a Hardworking Aging Erin New York Farmer Painting a Fulsome Picture of Farm Life and the Farming Community‎

‎Erin New York: Farming Life in Rural New York Retiring Farmer. Good with no dust jacket. Softcover. On offer is an archive of three diaries covering the years 1909 1910 and 1920 that very clearly describe life of an aging farmer in rural New York at the turn of the 20th century. The author of these diaries is Charles G. Jackson 1859-1943. Jackson was born in 1859 in Schuyler County New York and farmed near the village of Erin New York in the ‘Southern Tier’ region of the state. He passed away inCorning New York. He was married to Hattie Harriet who predeceased him in 1928 at the age of 70 years. They had one child a son named John Raymond who is often referred to in the diaries as ‘R’. Jackson is 50 years old when he writes the first of these three diaries and 61 when he writes the final diary. His entries are succinct showing him to be a factual and ‘to the point’ person yet they paint a clear picture of life on a farm at that time. It was a life of hard physical labour. Some excerpts give the flavour of this collection: “Nice day. Hat went to Elmira on train. I sorted apples this p. M. ” Jan 20 1909. “Fine day filled ice house only about 5 in of ice done a good job had plenty of help” Mar 8 1909. “I finished drilling side hill about 3: 30 dry & dusty a hard job” July 9 1909. “Cut B wheat all day. Binder does not tie good had O Elstum come down at nite to fix it” Sept 17 1909. “Finished plowing for corn the am PM I helped shingle a while then raked up some stone fine weather has been a warm month” Nov 30 1909. “Finished plowing hill at 4 pm began to plow garden ground is very dry tho had no rain this spring” Apr 1 1910. “J Jacobson helped me draw hay put about 6 loads in stack 1 load in barn this day hot” July 15 1910. “I plowed all day. Cold wind and snow squalls in PM. I wore my big Ulster and leggings to plow in” Nov 3 1910. Ten years later at the age of 61 he still has a hard physically demanding life. Excerpts follow: “Snows some and blows a little. A little warmer. Took 1ó hours to shovel out creek for water” Feb 28 1920. “Fine day. Thrashed 135 bu B wheat 8 ac acres 140 bu oats 5 ac 40 bu wheat 5 ac 35 bu barley 1 ac” Oct 19 1920. For a historian or researcher this is an excellent collection of diaries. Succinct though the entries can be taken as a whole they vividly portray in detail life on a family farm in rural New York a century ago. Jackson makes many references to neighbours and this makes these diaries valuable to a genealogist as this is a stable population in this part of the state with long roots in the area. Altogether this is a fine collection. All three diaries 1909 1910 1920 measure 5x3 inches and contain 183 pages. All are 100% complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition. Handwriting is legible and our author wrote in pencil. Overall G. ; Manuscripts; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 549 pages; Signed by Author . Farming Life in Rural New York, Retiring Farmer paperback‎

‎1925 Diary of Charles L. Merrick Whose Family Farming Legacy Dates Back to 1714‎

‎Wilbraham MA. Good with no dust jacket. 1925. Hardcover. On offer is a fine diary of successful farmer Charles L. Merrick of Wilbraham Massachusetts in the early years of the twentieth century. Merrick was born in 1902 and lived his life in Massachusetts. He passed away in 1995 at the age of 93. Merrick is part of a multi-generational family that has owned Merrick Farm in Wilbraham since the original land grant in 1714. The farm business continues to this day in the hands of his grandchildren and great grandchildren. At the time the diary was written Merrick was 23 years of age. The diary tells us he had graduated from college and was a member of a fraternity most likely Theta Delta Chi. At the time of writing he was working for a company possibly family-owned that produced among other products sashes. This diary gives an excellent look at the life of a young man just beginning his career. “Very hot. Pa Dick & I went to Amherst after some business in Amherst. Saw Whitcomb Daly & Olds about the young books. Got some stuff at the house left Dick and went to . to see the Starkweathers. Thunder showers. Home about 8: 30. Took a look at the strawberry festival. Multigraphed 400 copies of Frat. Letter to Alumni” June 1. “Quite hot. To office. Some late. Finished warehouse records. At 2 went to see John Murray & Geo Cassidy about Friskdale proposition. Cassidy offers $12000 & about $1500 cash and $3000 in good 2nd mtgs. Looks ok to me” August 18. “To office. Shipped quite a lot of heavy sash. My back nearly broken” August 20. “Cloudy. Not too much stirring. Paid off mortgage of $5000 & then settled payments etc with Mr. Cassidy finishing all papers; thru with Fiskdale except $6.36 on Taxes” September 14. This small diary measures 6 inches by 3 inches and contains 122 pages. It is approximately 70 percent complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition. Several pages have either had a portion cut out or been completely removed from the diary. The handwriting is legible. The notebook contains an extensive list of contacts and in many cases individuals’ location details. It offers an outstanding look into the early life of a man who would build on the legacy of his forefathers in central Massachusetts. It is also an excellent source of personal data for people living in this historic part of New England. ; Manuscripts; 6" x 3"; 122 pages . hardcover‎
