‎John Franklin Wild‎

‎1891 and 1897 Diaries of a Successful Indiana Entrepreneur Banker Husband and Father‎

‎Anderson Indiana Indianapolis. Good with no dust jacket. Softcover. On offer are two diaries of a successful American businessman written six years apart in 1891 and 1897 following his life as an entrepreneur husband and eventually father. What makes these diaries extra special are the newspaper articles and ephemera the author has included with some of his entries which relate and give context to the events about which he writes. The author of these diaries is John Franklin Wild 1861-1937 was an American entrepreneur and financier. He was born in Noblesville Indiana where he began his career partnering with his father Leonard and working at his dry goods store. John eventually opened his own dry goods store in Anderson Indiana in 1884. In 1891 Wild became a banker in Anderson creating a firm called Campbell Wild & Co. In 1901 Wild moved to Indianapolis with the banking business and bought out Campbell’s interest. The bank became J. F. Wild & Co. The firm was prominent in the government and municipal bond trading markets. In 1891 Wild married Mary “Minnie” Hannah 1865-1947. Together they had three children: John Jr. Frances and Forrey. At the end of their lives John and Minnie moved to California to be near their daughter. The first 7 months of the 1891 diary deals with his work in his dry good business and the social events that occupy his life. “Arrived at store at 7: 35. Worked all day. Closed store at 6. Went to party at Music Hall took Mattie Chittenden Home and retire by 2: 30 AM…” Jan 2 1891 NOTE: Attached to the entry is one of the many newspaper clippings he included in his diaries. This one details all of the guests at the party. "Arrived at store at 6: 40. Worked all day store at 6. Back to store at 6: 45 and wrote until 8 then back home. Wrote letter to Minnie retired at 10: 00. Edd came at 10: 20 so I got up and chatted until 12 & then to bed . Weather cool" Mar 6 1891 NOTE: Attached to this entry is a newspaper clipping entitled A BIG MERCANTILE DEAL – Mammoth Dry Goods Establishment of J. F. Wild Sold to Malott Long & Co of Kokomo. This clipping describes the size and extent of his business and marks the change in business direction from dry goods merchant to bond trader / financier. On Aug 3rd he notes the sale of his stock: “Sold stock of my dry goods to Black & Thalman for $12500…” Aug 3 1891“In Chicago all day. At 8 P. M. Was married to Miss Minnie Hannah 89 Evergreen Ave. By Rev. Ziegler. Remained at Hannah’s all night. Retired at 1 A. M. ” Sept 9 1891. The 1897 diary is equally packed with Wild’s notes about his daily life and accompanying ephemera. Some excerpts follow: “Anderson all day. Uptown all morning. Sold our house to Dr. Heath this morning. At home all afternoon. Took care of Frances while Minnie and John went to the “Sousa Band” concert. After supper went up to store. There until 11: 45 then home. Len and Lena at our house all night. Sleighing fine” Jan 30 1897. “Up at 5: 50. Went to Anderson on 6: 35 A. M. Train. Went after horse and carriage. Drove back. Left Anderson 9: 15 A. M. Arrived Indianapolis 6 P. M. Stopped at Ingall’s 1 hour fed. Lena and Mrs. Donner came down from Anderson today and are at our house. Lena Mrs. Donner and Minnie went to theatre this evening to see Nat Goodwin in “An American Citizen. ” Home at 12. Retired at 12: 30” Mar 17 1897. “Went to Lebanon on 7: 10 A. M. Train to examine W. Main St. Indianapolis before buying the bonds. At Lou’s for dinner. Home on 1: 49 P. M. Train. At office balance of morning. Minnie and I went to “Shrine” party at Scottish Rite Cathedral 8: 30 to 11: 45 P. M. Then home” May 7 1897. “Went to Tipton on 7 A. M. Train. Then Mr. Porter and I drove across to Windfall to examine property in regard to some street improvements. I went to Anderson on 3: 36 P. M. Train. At Anderson all evening until 9: 50 P. M. Train then home collected some delinquent Anderson bonds. Lottie Wild came down from Noblesville this evening to see us in regard to working for us. Minnie employed her and she will come as soon as we return from Winona. We talked until train time. I went down to station with her and she went home on 12: 45 train. Then home and retired” May 15 1897. “43 Woodruff Place Indianapolis Ind. Up at 7. Minnie’s “water broke” at 7: 30 A. M. I then telephone for Dr. Kimberlin who came right out. Made an examination and said Minnie would not be sick until afternoon or evening. Pains began to come regular at 2 P. M. At 3: 30 we telephoned Dr. And he came at once. A fine baby boy was born at 6: 58 P. M. Minnie got along very well. Rose Wisehan is nurse. Retired at 12: 30” Sept 26 1897. As well as the multiple newspaper clippings that relate to his daily entries that Wild has included other pieces of ephemera are ribbons from the Masonic Order Scottish Rite as well as a photocopy of a picture of Wild and an article detailing the sale of his bank building in 2008. For a historian these two diaries paint a fine picture of the daily life of a quite successful businessman and financier. The newspaper clippings that are attached flesh out the social side of life in this mid-west state. For genealogists the detailed lists of people who attended the various social events highlighted in the press provide and excellent source of information about people and relationships in that area a century ago. Both diaries have leather covers and measure 5.75x3.5 inches. They both have 365 pages and are both 100% complete. Overall G. ; Manuscripts; 24mo 5" - 6" tall . paperback‎

‎JOHN FULLERTON‎

‎1815 - 1865 SUPER ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY ONE OF HIS AND HER MAJESTY NAVY LIEUTENANTS LIVING A LIFE RIGHT OUT OF MASTER AND COMMANDER WITH SENSATIONAL ROYAL NAVY EPHEMERA: THE LT.'S OWN COURT MARTIAL FOR MURDER‎

‎GREAT BRITAIN. Very Good. 1815. On offer is simply superb manuscript of a Royal Navy officer's exploits in the age of "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". From the Napoleonic Wars through the rest of the 19th century Britain ruled the world and her instrument was the Royal Navy. This outstanding manuscript details the service of one officer who sailed to 'the far side of the world' when the Royal Navy ruled the world's seas. The manuscript is 176 pages in length and is 100% complete. All pages are typed so legibility is total. Pages are 8 1/24 by 14 inches. The pages are in excellent condition. They are enclosed in a hard cardboard folder. There are several other papers with the manuscript including one of note that will be elaborated on below. John Fullerton joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman in May 1815 at 12 years of age. He began his service on HMS Larne a 20 gun corvette. Four days in he saw his first punishment: ". four dozen lashes the first punishment I had ever seen and I never yet met the person who could look upon the infliction without a shudder" p1. From that rather grim introduction he went on to serve in a series of HM ships and travelled the world. He describes his rite of passage when he first crossed the equator on Oct 11th 1819: ". All those who have not been across the Line now go below and the hatchways are guarded . and one at a time blindfolded brought up taken to the chair through a line of people who . "p. 6. He had plenty of adventures. Once after becoming acquainted with a woman in Rio de Janeiro he met a man as he left her home. After exchanging greetings: ". he politely put a knife into my left side and left it there. I gave him an equal portion of my sword and retreated to the ship hospital ." p11. With his friend Hack Hawthorn a Wild Middy p11 he often got into scrapes including one where he and some friends faced off with a Portuguese military street patrol: ". Our swords out and in less than three minutes had possion of their muskets and bayonets but obliged to decamp on board. . Jack generally got those who went on shore with him into similar scrapes." p.12. In 1821 he was commissioned a Lieutenant. His manuscript is rich in observations of places he travelled to and people he met. He mentions a collision with HMS Revolutionaire which was under command of the son of the great Royal Navy Captain Edward Pellew. p24 His descriptions are rich in detail: "I accompanied some Chilinoes to a fair in the country and races many tents with refreshments and dancing people from all parts of the country flocked and a very animated scene it was fair damsels under charge of their sweethearts or lovers and sprightly dame with her shadow not husband he playing the tender to some other man's wife" p77. He also keeps a constant mention of other ships they meet or travel with which provides a first-rate way of cross-referencing other ship's records. On Sept 9th 1827 Fullerton along with some other officers attended the theatre in Valparaiso Chile. He goes into a dispute with a Chilean sergeant which continued to escalate until he shot and killed the sergeant. After a bloody fight in the lounge area of the theatre he escaped wounded to his ship. In reprisal English officers ashore were rounded up and imprisoned. A week later he surrendered to authorities and a jailed until a Spanish court-martial could be convened. At length he was acquitted. What makes this account so historically interesting is that included with the manuscript is the typed statement of the British Consul John White who acted in his defense. The 13 page document is typed on 8 1/2 inch by 14 inch paper and is in excellent condition. It begins: "John White Esq Consul of His Britannic Majesty counsel for Lieutenant John Fullarton Royal Navy accused of having killed Sergeant Jose Maria Minos present the following to the court in justification of the act committed by the said officer ." p1. The defense makes for fascinating reading. It is accompanied by a 46 page packet containing 8 pages of handwritten notes which were part of the original draft. For a naval historian this is an outstanding description of service in the Royal Navy written by an officer with a keen eye for descriptive detail. Written at a time when the Royal Navy truly ruled the oceans of the world it is a treasure trove for information. Whether ship locations customs in foreign lands or life on board it is an outstanding primary source document. The court-martial defense is an excellent example of litigation argument in the early 19th century. It touches on key aspects of self-defense argument that forms the basis for the common law that governs millions of people today. A legal scholar or historian would follow John White's arguments with interest and pleasure.; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF EARLY 19TH CENTURY REGENCY MID VICTORIAN ERA LTN JOHN FULLERTON JOHN WHITE BRITISH COUNSEL IN VALPARAISO ROYAL NAVY GREAT BRITAIN ROYAL NAVY IN THE NAPOLEONIC WARS COURT-MARTIAL AGE OF SAIL AGE OF NELSON MARINE MARITIME LIFE IN A ROYAL NAVY SHIP NAVAL OFFICERS NAVIES NAVAL DISCIPLINE WARSHIPS CORVETTES NAVAL HISTORY VISITS TO FOREIGN PORTS EARLY 19TH CENTURY LITIGATION CHILE IN 1820S SAILORS - SOCIAL LIFE AND CUSTOMS 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

‎JOHN GALBREATH‎

‎1862 HANDWRITTEN CIVIL WAR ERA MANUSCRIPT DIARY FILLED WITH EMOTIONAL INTIMATE HOMEFRONT WAR ENTRIES BY THIS EXPRESSIVE YOUNG TEACHER‎

‎Piercton Warsaw Bone Prairie Indiana IN. Fair. 1862. On offer is a superb handwritten Civil War homefront diary of a young man who lives in Pierceton Indiana who heads to Warsaw and Bone Prairie to teach school. On the very first page we read "John Galbreath's Day Book Bought in Warsaw Indiana of Mr. Lemon. March 26th 1862." He ends a year later on April 1st 1863. Although he's not a soldier this is one of the most unique and well written 'homefront' diaries we have ever read. Mr. Galbreath provides an intimate and a detailed emotional picture about what life must have been like for this young man during this terrible time when so many families were torn apart. There are a full 90 pages of personal and heartfelt entries and daily accounts of what his life was like; plus many fascinating war entries and super commentary and opinion from this young man and especially riveting account of the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing. Here are snippets: "March 26th I came to Warsaw this morning upon the train. Mr. Fletcher State Superintendent of Public Instructions addressed a congregation of teachers and directors on the subject of education at the Union School House. This afternoon at one o'clock and tonight he is to lecture on the same at the Methodist Church." "March 27th I staid with Otis Pratt last night. He and wife are both sick with Typhoid Fever. I arose early this morning and walked to the river where we use to go swimming while attending school in Warsaw. I visited Mrs. Cowan's school this forenoon and had an interesting interview with the teachers. Found the school progressing finely. Got aboard the train at 11 o'clock and soon found myself in Pierceton." "May 15th Last evening Mrs. Loring gave a party in honor to Alfred before he returns to the army. He started on his return last night." "July 4th Friday morning fifteen minutes after four. I have shot the gun blowed the horn beat the old tin broke to sung songs and what to get at next. I know not. I will content myself listening at the cannon firing in Pierceton. Boom-boom-boom it goes. Hurrah hurrah hurrah. Five by the clock. I am preparing to start to Pierceton money on hand 9.04. Eleven o'clock. Three couples of us George Morse and Charlotte Galbreath Mike King and Annie Moore John Galbreath and Lizzie Pottenger got on the express bound for Ft. Wayne. Arrived at Wayne at one. Took the bus for main street exchange hotel where we staid over night." "August 8th Hot. I went today to Pierceton. Several young men volunteered during the day. Quite an excitement prevails about drafting." "September 1st Today the board of examiners meets to determine who is exempt from the draft." "September 29th Forenoon favors rain. Afternoon rained but little. This day will long be remembered in Pierceton as the day when the Sherburn recruits left for the 44 Reg. Ind. Vol. There was a large crowd in town. Addresses were made by Rev. Clark. Rev. Davis and Dr. Marshall. A dinner was prepared for the soldiers." "October 4th and 5th Last night J. P. Chaplin gave a war speech at the Baptist meeting house. Today has been fair….Last evening George Fraizer and Dr. Byerle addressed the citizens of Pierceton. Quite a political feeling was gotten up." "October 11th J. T. Doke and I moved to Warsaw today for the purpose of going to school. Heard Gov. Wright speak for three hours on the crisis. He goes in wholly and solely for putting down rebellion." "October 14th This is election day. The election passed off quietly. J.T. Doke Charlotte Galbreath and I moved to Warsaw today for the purpose of attending school. Turner and I spent the day in fixing up the bed and stove &c. Warsaw is full of soldiers. They expect to leave on the midnight train." "November 29th Snowed a little last night. We are on our road to our school in a sleigh but we find it poor sleighing indeed. Eat dinner at Mr. Gunter's where Martin is going to board. 4 by the watch. We are at Mr. Berst's the trustees waiting for him to come home from Warsaw. Mr. Berst arrived home about dark." "December 1st I commenced school this morning. I am unacquainted with my pupils their parents and even the school house. All things are strange to me here on Bone Prairie and I feel the need of some kind friend to take me by the hand and speak words of encouragement but I must rally my courage and cheer up with the idea that I am engaged in a noble work. My earnest desire is that I may do good and benefit the pupils under my care. May I ever for the end and may God help me in my humble endeavor." "December 17th A small skiff of snow fell last night. Several of us met last evening and organized a debating club in Oswego. Question for next evening resolved that Intemperance is a greater evil than slavery. Jos. v Cowan affirmative. M. v. Galbreath denies. 4 o'clock in the evening. I had a visitor today. Mr. Lieutenant Lew Rickeson called on me today and I was uncommonly glad to see him." 1863 "February 13th A fine day. Evening quite a company of young folks are at Mr. Beagles enjoying the unfair nicknaks. Playing and kissing the girls are the order of the evening until 3 o'clock." "March 19th Jas. K. Polk Phillips was buried today. Quite a large concourse of people were at the funeral. Polk was well respected and had a great number of friends in his native neighborhood. Yesterday I helped take up an infant corpse. It had been buried 15 years." Although the diary entries stop on April 1st 1863 there is a 7 page entry in the back having to do with a friend of his who died on July 30th. He titles it "Sanford is dying". I want to quote a bit of it here: "I and my friend H. had retired and after spending near half the night in conversation had exhausted nature and fell into a deep sound sleep. Presently I was awakened from my slumber by my father calling me by name. I arose instantly for a sad strange feeling came over me and I felt that something uncommon had happened. Whether or not this strange feeling was the result of my being awakened at that time of night I am not prepared to say. Certain it is I have been called up at all times of night and never before did my feelings so completely warn and impress me with the idea that bad news were in store. I instantly dressed and prepared to go to the sick chamber. My friend H concluded to go with me so accompanied with him and my father we repaired to the bedside of the dying boy. On our way we over took several of the neighbors going to see the dying Sanford. An inquiry here presented itself to my mind. Why all this stir.The sequel is the boy is dying and departed this life in about two hours after we entered the sick chamber. Not however until he had called his friends around him and talked of Heaven and his departure. After taking leave of his friends he composed himself quietly on his dying bed and in a few moments "Sanford is dead." He goes on with several pages more about Sanford and the entry takes on a religious tone. Then on the very back page is a fascinating account as it is taking place about the battle of Pittsburg landing: "April 1862 Great excitement prevails at present caused by the great battle of Pittsburg landing Tenn. This battle was fought April 6 1862. The Federal forces were commanded by Grant Wallace Buell and others. The rebels were commanded by Beauregard Johnson and Jackson. The slaughter on both sides was great. Among the killed is Wallace and Johnson. Later. Wallace is reported not dead yet. Island No. 10 was unconditionally surrendered to the Northern army on the 7th. 3000 prisoners taken and an amount of military stores. April 12 the public mind is trained to the last bent. Great events are just in advance and large armies are in sight of each other and evidently are on the eve of a great battle at Corinth. April 15th The news from Pittsburgh Landing is startling. ______battle was right there with heavy blows on both sides."

Anecdotes quotations from Flynn's own diaries and from people who knew him in Australia and Papua New Guinea crowd one upon the other to underscore this truth and to embellish this rollicking tale of a man who in the author's words: 'lived for half a century the sort of life adolescents dream of but men dare not attempt.

‎John Haskell Hewitt‎

‎1855 Original Handwritten Notebook and Relic of Yale Scholarship by a Prominent 19th Century American Academic‎

‎Yale University Olivet College. Good with no dust jacket. 1855. Hardcover. On offer is a terrific collection of early writings from John Haskell Hewitt a leading early American classical scholar. This 1855 journal is a series of reflections on sermons and lectures that Hewitt attended as a student at Yale University: "The theme was the duties of life in relation to divine providence. The speaker divided the subject into 3 general heads. 1st What is understood by Providence. Secondly Duty of Consenting to that Providence. Thirdly Duty of Submitting to that Providence" pp. 18-19. "There are in every science certain rudiments of first principles on which all others depend and from which others proceed. In every concern it is well to keep in view the rudiments. In the Legislature the Constitution is looked to in Navigation the compass. The same is true in Religion. There are certain fundamental principles in this which must be regards" pp. 28-29. His loose-leaf notes date at least until the late 1870s. Some are on the letterhead of Olivet College showing him as Acting President which date then to 1877 at the earliest when he was so appointed. They cover a wide range of subjects. Many appear to be notes for talks or lectures. "A History as has been shown is philosophy teaching by example . First Colonial Congress in NY Oct 7 1765 9 Colonies 28 delegates Agreed on Declaration of Rights." One group of notes has a page dedicated to each of several American states many referring to the early history of the relevant state especially vis-a-vis independence. Hewitt was born in 1835. He entered Yale University in 1855 the year this journal was kept. After his graduation Hewitt stayed at Yale serving as a librarian there. In 1865 he accepted a teaching position in Olivet College in Michigan. In 1882 the president of Williams College in Massachusetts and a friend of Hewitt’s from Yale Franklin Carter offered Hewitt a prestigious professorship in ancient languages. Hewitt accepted serving Williams College in various capacities for the rest of his life. He became Professor Emeritus in 1909. He passed away in 1920 at the age of 85. This small notebook measures 6.25 inches by 7.5 inches and contains 50 pages. It is about 90 percent complete. The cover is in good condition as are the binding and pages. The handwriting is legible. Accompanying this notebook is a collection of some 108 pages of loose-leaf notes. For an historian this is an outstanding look into the thinking and writing of a man recognized as a leading scholar in 19th century America. For alumni of these great institutions this would be an excellent addition to or anchor for a collection of memorabilia. ; Manuscripts; 6.25" x 7.5"; 50 pages; John haskell hewitt; yale university; yale; history of yale; olivet college; williams college; american scholar; 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 . hardcover‎
