‎Of Men and Orchids - Volume 2‎

‎Allmendingen Switzerland: Published by the author 2017. NEW. Very well illustrated quarto pp 312 black cloth a very good copy in dustwrapper. LIMITED EDITION OF 250 COPIES ONLY. A heavy book - extra postage will probably be necessary. "This is neither a book on how humans grow orchids nor a treatise of how they classsify plants but an extraordinary look at the bond that unites men - botanists gardeners plant hunters explorers - to the names of orchids and the histories behind their discovery and scientific apprehension. The work is a great step into the realm of history and orchids are the perfect excuse to expose the efforts the courage and bravery the ambition and jealousies and the indomitable will of those men in the flesh who have made it possible to discover and name the amazing diversity of plants. Each of the 36 chapters that compose the volume tell the story of an orchid or a few orchids and a man beginning with Acanthephippium sylhetense and George King ending with Ticoglossum krameri and the three Kramers going through complete biographical sketches of the protagonists and discussing the sometimes complex taxonomy of the concerned orchid species. You will find very acknowledged names in plant history like William Saunders Fredericl Welwitsch and James Edward Smith but you will also be surprised at finding several less known names who compose the extraordinary story of orchidology - Parish Pittier Walter Hill William Brass are just a few of the many characters that are presented in the book together with the orchids that immortalize their names" . First Edition. Cloth. New/New. Privately Printed. Published by the author Hardcover‎

‎JEREMIAH GOULD [?]‎

‎1849 - 1854 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A KEEN EYED INTROSPECTIVE INDIANA SURVEYOR DETAILING HIS LIFE AND FAMILY HARDSHIPS OF TRAGIC ILLNESS WHO STILL SEES THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD WHILE VISITING THE NEW YORK CRYSTAL PALACE EXPOSITION‎

‎MISHAWAKA WOLF CREEK MARSHALL COUNTY INDIANA IN. Fair. 1849. Offered is a super original manuscript diary dated August 1849 through to a final tragic entry in April 1854. The diary was handwritten by an Indiana surveyor farmer politician and engineer who worked throughout Indiana Ohio and Illinois. While the 64 page book lacks any identifying signatures or inscription a tucked in scrap of what appears to be original poetry dated 1840 bears the name of Jeremiah Gould. The final 1854 entry is signed in a different hand with the initials V.G. likely the son Vernon which we believe adds credence to Jeremiah's authorship though more research should be done. The diary is a fascinating and a superb telling of the author's personal life and times as he writes not just of what has happened but also his thoughts about the family's future. We learn that it is a hard life given his family suffered many attacks of fever and disease and a super portrait of pre Civil War America and there is so much to it: he and fellow surveyors find an old Indian Battle ground while on a survey; political commentary about the Whig Party Daniel Webster including his own ambitions in local politics as he is elected to office. His children he writes about many times - Vernon Marietta and Robert. For example one of his sons Vernon leaves to study medicine. The town of Rochester is a focus of commentary often along with Mishawaka Wolf Creek and Marshall County and the Yellow River. In fact there is a great entry about crossing the river by horse. He writes about surveying his own land under an act of Congress of Sept 25th. The author was a part time teacher rancher and elected county surveyor in August 1851 surveying for a Solomon Pontius. He mentions in great detail his cattle sheep and trying to raise crops. He also describes the political climate of the day and his own philosophical thoughts. Here is a snippet: Fri April 23 Went to Richland to attend court for Mother. I never saw so many ignorant a set of men nor so disorderly a court as I saw today the justice was entirely incompetent to fill his office. I am satisfied that magistrates ought not to be elected to office. For in a great majority of cases incompetent persons will be elected over worthy and competent men while there is no one responsible for this impromptu choice. Today I had conversations with A.F. Smith related to political affairs we concluded to call a meeting of the Whig's of the county on the 22nd of March. This close's the year 1852- a year in which I have had many bright prospects and as many disappointments but on the whole out situation is somewhat improved I have paid off some debts made some valuable improvements upon my family and in the year to come we have all been blest with health. Sept 21 I left home for the east. Arrived in South Bend in the evening took carriage 40 minutes past 11 arrived Monroe in the morning. Took passage on board steamboat about 10 min and arrived in Cleveland about 4 pm and in the morning of the 23rd arrived in Buffalo. Gould also travels for his pleasure and edification particularly when he travels east and does a super job on two and a half pages of describing his trip to The World's Fair September 1853. This was the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations a World's Fair held in 1853 in what is now Bryant Park in New York City in the wake of the highly successful 1851 Great Exhibition in London. The New York Fair also had a Crystal Palace. He also went directly to the Mechanics Fair in Boston on September 30th and he writes a couple of short paragraphs. The tragedy contained in this diary is dramatic and saddening to read. Shortly after the author attends the World's Fair his wife suddenly gets ill and then dies of this illness. Within a year the Author perishes as well from "Typhus". In the Winter of 1851 I wrote to M.D. Smith of Ohio for a flock of sheep June 1st 1851 Vernon left home to study medicine under the instruction of Dr. Brokett July 5th I purchased 500 sheep of Smith. In the fall Vernon took a school over the river for three months. In December I commenced surveying my lands for Culua under an Act of Congress of Sept 25th. In Jan I was appointed Deputy county surveyor with the understating that I should have all the business of the county. I continued to to the County surveying until the August election. My sheep became diseased and we had a great deal of trouble with them and of the 500. I had little but 100 at shearing and all the wool was insufficient to pay the first installment of the purchase money a great disappointment. Wednesday 25th 1852 Finished the road and went across the woods to Montgomery's and thence to Barnes on the way there we passed by the remains of some shanties erected on the Indian Payment ground on the North side of Chippewa rock erected in 1836. In the afternoon surveyed a road from Barnes's to Warsaw Road. After the survey was finished as we were sitting upon a log near the Chippewa rock south of Martins Mr Montgomery picked out a bullet from a log about 4 inches from the outside of the log which had overgrown by 37 layers of wood. This circumstance gave rise from which I learned that about 50 years ago the Chippewa's and Pottawatomie had a battle at this place. Previous to that time the Chippewa occupied this county and had a town on the creek. The old town of Aubbunaublu township was also a Chippewa town. January 1st 1854 Eighteen hundred fifty three is passed away and what has it left me I have been totally successful in temporal affairs. Have diminished my debts have extended my acquaintances have visited the home of my youth and have been flattered with visions of future success but I have lost my nearest friend my family is broken up my plans for the future have been frustrated and sorrow has sent an arrow into my heart deeper that before." The 8 x 6.5 inch journal is basically disbound covers hanging by string loose pages but the text is complete and legible.

‎Jerome Josephus Schoonover‎

‎1908 Diary of a Successful Farmer in Tiogo County New York Who Writes of His Work His Community and His Family‎

‎Tiogo County New York United States. Good with no dust jacket. 1908. Softcover. On offer is a fine diary written at the turn of the 20th century in rural upstate New York. This 1908 diary belonged to Jerome Josephus Schoonover 1849-1926 a farmer in upstate New York. Specifically he was born and lived his entire life in Tiogo County New York. In 1890 Jerome married Lydia Van Norstran 1858-1951. Lydia worked as a school teacher in the Barton and Tiogo areas. It does not appear that Jerome and Lydia had any children. Schoonover was 59 years old when he wrote this diary. While his entries are primarily related to his farming business they are surprisingly long and newsy for a man’s diary. His entries include information about his and Lydia’s social life community happenings and he keeps a very thorough financial ledger and list of contacts at the back of the diary. Some excerpts follow: “Mellissa Wright dies. Williams wife. Charl to Dan Wiggins draw some ties from the to put them on the flats. To Charls and Dan draw load of stalks & load of oat straw from lower barn for me to bed with at home barn. Nice day for time of year. Sent a letter to J. P. Fragl today an answer to his” Jan 5. “Some cloudy this morning. Lydia took 3 doz eggs to Stonarts 22¢ trade them out. Report is John Holt went to California on 11 o’clock train yesterday left a note for his wife that she could come if she wants 2. She was to Owego come back 12 1/2 the same day don’t know what is the matter or the trouble with them. Charles draw manure and draw up some ties 10 for me” Mar 11. “Hitched fan to platform and Lydia & I went up to Dr. Post. He fix something for my eye and we stay to dinner up there. Charley helped Clarke stook oats we went down to lower garden to get some cucumbers. Pearl Coleman’s sick so Dr. Post went down with his mobile to see her” Aug 18. “Charley drew load of corn for me & DA Wiggins husk is 29 good and 6 poor. Cloudy & colder he draw 6 – 2 for himself and got me a load of corn fodder I pick up some chestnuts” Oct 9. “Lydia & her mother went to the funeral of Mrs. Dan Daily at Barton on morn train. Gibbs finish the price back of the hill. Ground was froze quite hard in morn cloudy all day and cold. Charls Tribe sold his farm to Charles Coleman 1500 dollars Art V went to Smithboro to take an inventory of Bailys store goods” Nov 14. “Sold Fred Martin 5 doz eggs at 86 cents Rode up to store with Dr. Post in his cutter. Really good sleighing cold wind don’t feel very good today” Dec 21. This simple plainly-written diary gives an excellent look at and sense of what life was like in those early years of the 20th century. They paint a picture of a hard but successful life in upstate New York in the years just before the beginning of some of the most momentous changes in life in the United States. Measuring 6.0 inches by 3.0 inches and contains 365 pages. The diary is approximately 80% complete. The cover and binding are in good condition as is the spine. The pages are in good condition and the handwriting is legible. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 365 pages; Signed by Author . paperback‎
