‎James Likely‎

‎1854 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND STUDY OF ASTRONOMY OF JAMES LIKELY‎

‎New Hampshire. Good. 1854. Cloth. This is an amazing diary that has so many wonderful qualities. Dated 1854 the original owner's name is James Likely. There is also the name Mary Likely written on the back inside cover. This is not really a handwritten diary of our gentleman's daily routine but actually a journal full of his thoughts on the universe religion our bodies animal life and other miscellaneous subjects. There are almost 100 pages of script and a few wonderful drawings too. The first part of the diary is all about the celestial universe; Jupiter Saturn the Sun the different stars and our Earth. He's drawn a picture of Saturn and also one of the earth and the orbit of the sun. It's so interesting to see someone's view about the universe over 150 years ago. Research suggests Mr. Likely is from New Hampshire from references made about "Tollage for crossing Windsor Bridge during the year ending May 1859". Here are snippets: "This book is intended to be the repository of Biblical subjects with their proofs and conclusions and astronomical calculations and experiments that being written in the front of this diary.The discovery of Herschell was in the year 1811. The pressure of air upon earth is 12048468800000000000 pounds or 5000 billions of tons. The sun is a million of times larger than earth and sends forth light at the rate of 2000000 miles a minute. The earth flies round its aces axis at the rate of 1000 an hour. Flies through space at the rate of 60000 miles an hour….Captain Flinders in one of his voyages saw in a stream which passed before him for an hour and half all covered with ____ the stream was from 50 to 80 yards deep and 300 yards or more bread broad taking his reckoning for it. It would amount to 151 millions and a half and another travels in a different direction seen much more on that….The star Lyra for example is supposed by Sir W. Herschel to be 32275000 miles in diameter or 38 times the diameter of the sun and….The earth is a globe whose diameter is nearly 8000 miles and it's circumference about 25000 and consequently it's surface contains nearly two hundred millions of square miles and….The light of the sun is equal to 6500 candles at a foot distance while the moon would be as one candle at 1 ½ feet Venus at 421 feet and Jupiter at 1320 feet that this immense luminary appears so small to our eyes in owing to it's vast distance…." There is so much more not just about the universe but also about the other topics. His handwriting is very beautiful and easy to read. The diary measures about 4" x 6 ½" and the cover especially the outside spine is a bit rough and very worn. as far as condition but the inside pages look great.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; Science Astronomy Celestial Space 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 . hardcover‎

‎SERJEANT T WELLS, 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY‎

‎1934 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT INSTRUCTION MANUAL IN THE ART OF FENCING USING THE FOIL SABRE AND EPEE‎

‎Borden Hants Hampshire England. Good. 1934. Original Wraps. On offer is a handwritten notebook-style instruction manual as titled on the cover "Fencing Lessons Foil - Sabre - Epee". The inside front cover has a pastedown fully identifying the writer: "Serjeant T. Wells of the 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY. 19th Sept. to 13th Dec. 1934. Instructors Gartzen and Harkinson". An Index of the 67 page book shows that besides the lessons in the three sword types there are chapters on the Army Fencing Union Pitches and Arenas and Bayonet Team Competitions. We are led to believe that this book is also a manual for the Instructor trainee as most pages have three columns headed: Pupil Master Remarks. The remarks appear to be helpful hints for the Instructor in dealing with the pupil. There are a number of hand drawn illustrations including charts tables graphs and such plus there are quite a few little. 1.5" x 1" photographs which were cut from elsewhere and glued in as part of the lesson. In addition to the identification on the cover and inside front cover the back cover has Sjt. Wells handwritten address being we believe Bordon Hants Hampshire. Boards are cracked in the hinges and the netting shows but otherwise in very good shape. Provenance: From the library of a famed Hungarian fencing master instructor Olympian and coach.

‎DETROIT MICHIGAN. Good. 1906. On offer is a very unique funny and rather curious handwritten log book from a musicians club beginning in 1906 and up to about 1915 but it was after their fifth anniversary that there was less writing and more ephemera. The theme was nautical and under the guise of characters in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The members were all musicians from leading theatre orchestras. The club was started by Arthur Lelliot B.S. Tomlinson and James Thompson. Also 'aboard' were members of the Detroit Federation of Musicians and the Detroit Musicians Union. Two blank letter heads one from each union are folded up in the book along with a number of other ephemera pieces. The club was called P.R.O.S.T and there is a typed Constitution. The book is loaded with names of musicians from that era plus menus from all the major banquets and cruises. There are 5 or 6 pages of handwritten script of a play which they performed. There is a Katz and Jammers Kids cartoon we believe pasted on the front cover though it is rather rough and there is loss followed by a few more Katz and Jammers Kids in nautical situations pasted in.

‎USA. Good. 1881. Original Cloth. Three curious diaries/logs/journals of Peter H. Grisham mustered out a Corporal of the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry. Peter tends to write front to back and then change back to front in these 'pocketbook' type journal. Peter meanders making observations jotting memories detailing genealogical histories; Mrs. Mary Bevins his sister some famed people he knew through his father and notes the history of the family's steel works is in the snippets to follow. "July 10th 1883. My duties have been arduous have neglected to keep up any diary regularly. I went to Arkansas - last May was a year - via Baltimore Harrisburg Pittsburg Chicago St. Louis by RRs and by Steamer too Memphis by RR to Little Rock Geary Ark. to my sister Mrs. Mary Blevins near Pangburn White Co.

"About six years ago Bridget an Irish girl that sews for them that G. Eaton was paymaster general under Genl Scott killed himself before this: he ran away with the granddght of his 1st wife. Col. Clark.knows of it." July 29th 1883 Alexandria Va. This ancient city is still inhabited by many of the old Virginia Aristocracy who own the best of the property. The city was mostly of the tory sort I believe in the days of Washington - who attended Church here in the same building I did today.That it sympathised with England and the King may be inferred from the names of the streets - King St. Queen St. Prince.It was also a strong rebel city during the late war sending about a thousand soldiers into the rebel army under Genl R.E. Lee who lived a few miles above opposite the city of Washington. The pocketbook has a page or two missing one hinge is loose is written in pencil blue crayon and pen. A number of pages are financial - stock holdings monies loaned and repaid.

‎MRS N L TUDOR‎

‎1887 - 1890 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL AND DIARY OF THE TUDOR FAMILY - FROM A LONG LINE OF PRIESTS VICARS DEACONS REVERENDS AND BISHOPS‎

‎BEDFORD BEDFORDSHIRE ENGLAND GREAT BRITAIN. Good. 1887. On offer is an incredible intimate look into the life and times of The Tudor Family of Bedford Befordshire England. Though she always refers to herself as "self" there are numerous other references to identify the author of this detailed day by day account as Mrs. N. L. Tudor wife of E.T. Tudor research suggests they have a role in St. Paul's Cathedral mother to Mervyn Gwen and Howell and that they are family from a large family of vicars priests deacons and reverends. A casual reading notes priest-relatives in New Zealand and one very interesting entry is regarding a relative Hugh Aldersly Tudor as returning from the Medicine Hat Diocese of the Canadian North West Territories. A later note refers to a daughter born to the Canadian branch of Tudor's in Ottawa. Handwritten the journal dates from 1887-1890 and is an account of life at Bedford as it began for the Tudors who arrived at Bedford from Burnham Somerset on Thursday September 8th 1887. Where our author does not specify herself or her husband she excels in naming visitors friends and relatives and as such this diary will provide a wealth of genealogical information besides being a super look at the times. Also noted was her apparent delight in seeing a game of 'La Crosse' played in the common. This hardbound black note book 4vo both boards nearly detached most of spine missing at the end of each year covered a page is set aside for 'remarkable events in our family & friends during the year' and many clippings attached. A casual reading finds dozens of names for visitors friends and staff. Some drawings on both boards some newspaper cuttings stuck in some pressed leaves.

‎FH PUTNAM F H‎

‎1925 & 1929 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARIES OF A LUMBERMAN FARMER RURAL ENTREPRENEUR AND NEW FATHER‎

‎WINCHESTER NEW HAMPSHIRE NH. Good. 1925. On offer are the 1925 and 1929 handwritten manuscript diaries of F.H. Putnam of Winchester New Hampshire. F.H. Putnam ushered in 1925 by listening to the radio after everyone else went home. He stayed up till 3:30 pulling in Cincinnati Chicago Kansas City Zion Illinois and Ottawa Canada. A New Hampshire farmer and lumber man through and through he writes with pride that during the day he hauled two loads of wood and split the big birch log that he'd given up on the day before. "Split a new wedge doing it though. On Jan 2. Two loads of wood; spread 2 loads of manure. Sat. Jan. 3 Mended belt filed saw… sawed 1 ½-2 cords. Put 1 beam sled together. Sun. Jan. 4 Carrie got church services from Springfield; I got service from Shady Side Presbyterian church on KDKA. Daffy freshened gave birth nice heifer calf - Zoya. Mon Jan 5. Got 3 loads of manure and spread. Carrie took sick in evening District nurse came. Doctor Labdell came up a little before 12. Baby was born at 12:26. Jan. 6. Harriet Rilla Putnam was born 8 lb 6 oz. Took me to 10 o'clock to get milking done doing work in house 'between cows'." Mr. Putnam has a 1916 Allen motorcar which gives him problems and of course he can't use it during the snow season; for that he uses his sled. Entry for Christmas is colorful and interesting. Mr. Putnam is a fine diarist always mentioning names of visitors visits and business dealings. This diary though is much more than a standard farm diary in that Mr. Putnam provides in his writings a charming look at a man whose life has changed with the birth of his daughter. He easily takes over baking bread cleaning the house churning butter and still doing all his farm and lumber work. He also shows readers that life in a rural community is not without its benefits as he has many helpful friends and neighbors. The 1929 diary which has a number of 1930 entries too is sporadic and sparse but has some interesting entries: we read that he has taken on a job with the Boston Fuel Company while maintaining the farm and then a few months later he quits. It appears the farm is now mostly orchards and his interest in apples becomes near obsessive. He writes about beekeeping and a fair number of clippings from newspaper about apple market accompanied by list of bushels of each type of apples he sent to market.

‎SNYDER, CHARLES‎

‎1938 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY JOURNAL OF OBSESSED OHIO MAN‎

‎Bowling Green Ohio OH. Good. 1938. This is one of the most fascinating diaries. Charles Snyder is a young intelligent perhaps brilliant and certainly obsessive man from Bryan and Bowling Green Ohio. The diary proper once a standard "Everyday" brand diary about an inch thick is expanded to over 4.5 inches being over-stuffed with ephemera. Charles was very studious in saving and storing his world in paper form - newspaper clippings letters receipts documents postcards photos etc. etc. fill this book on top of the pages and pages of his writings. Charles was at the beginning of 1938 still a senior in high school and by the fall he was a freshman at college. Further information in a letter by the Principal of the college to Air Force recruitment in 1941 recommending him for air force duty is further evidence he is in his late teens at the time. This is one of the most astounding diaries we have ever seen for the breadth of information Mr. Snyder delivers in detailing his life at school among friends and his views of the world arounds fleshed out all the more with the many hundreds of inclusions from his friends family teachers and his of course his own. Hard to place a condition to this book as it has morphed into something differents. It is however all legible and intact and overall we suggest Good. Devotees of the diary art and Ohio historians and genealogists will have many many hours of treasure hunting in this book.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" 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 . unknown‎

‎ORIGINAL 1862 - 1865 IMPORTANT CIVIL WAR JOURNAL DETAILING THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE 34TH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY REGIMENT VOLUNTEER TO THE STEPS OF APPOMATTOX AND THE SURRENDER OF LEE‎

‎EGREMONT MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1862. On offer is an original superb relic of the Civil War and an incredibly detailed historical document with a riveting narrative being the journal of William. B. Stark beginning with his enlistment July 21st 1862 until April 13th 1865 when he relates the details of Appomattox and Lee's surrender and the jubilation of the troops. Thusly his entire tour in the Civil War. Stark was from Egremont Massachusetts near the New York state border in western Massachusetts. Mr. Stark served in the 34th Regiment Infantry Massachusetts Volunteers. This is one of the most detailed writings of one man's service we have ever read. Stark took copious notes and left no details unmentioned from a detailed listing of every battle and engagement his fellow soldiers officers kit and clothing foods eaten etc. etc. He never fails to mention names and Mr. Stark to history's benefit writes profusely. There is tremendous battle content with detailed explanations of terrain weather and conditions. He describes the mood of the men the affect of the conditions and writes very well too. One online source relates the following of this famed company of volunteers: 34th Regiment Infantry Organized at Worcester August 1 1862. Moved to Washington D.C. August 15-17.

The original handwritten diary has been lost but this is a very old typewritten transcript undoubtedly typed up by a family member from Stark's diary and then mimeographed. Extensive research can find no evidence that this was ever published or made public in any way save for an annotation that Stark's commentary was partially used regarding his chilling telling of the Battle of Hanging Rock.

‎Gilbert Smith‎

‎1942 - 1944 ARCHIVE OF TWO 2 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT WWII DIARIES AND 200 PICTURE PHOTO ALBUM BY GILBERT SMITH OF SILVER CREEK NEW YORK AND THE 335TH AAAF‎

‎Silver Creek New York. Good. 1942. Hardcover. On offer are two 2 diaries. The first is a 1942 identified as written by Gilbert Smith. The second diary is a 5 year style book that it appears was originally owned and identified on the bookplate as Pvt Charles Sullivan Bangor Maine. Assumedly Gilbert Smith got/bought this book otherwise unused from the Mr. Sullivan who had good intentions to write in this book. This diary is written in for 1943 and 1944. Gilbert Smith was with the 335th AAAF which I believe to be the Armoured Antiaircraft Systems. It seems he talks alot about laying lines and communications. On the last page it has his points stationed from 1940 to1943. He started off at Camp Stewart.then to Fort Dix. After Fort Dix he went to Belfast in 1942 at St. John's Point then to Scotland and England in Liverpool and Glasgow. In 1943 he went to Algiers and to Naples. The second diary is mostly from when he was stationed in Italy. Gives a great day to day account of life as a WW II soldier. He talks of meeting French girls drinking and being hungover playing cards arguing with an officer cleaned guns talks about the filter roomwearing gas masks fixing lines. However the photo album has Gilbert Smiths name in it so I assume this is Smith's diary. It also looks to be in Smith's hand writing. Maybe Sullivan gave it to him. I cannot be sure.The photo album consists of photos of home and the military. There are 52 photos that pertain to the military some are loose. There are close to if not over 200 photos of his life including many of an early Kendall gas station football games 30's New York City Irving Silver Creek area photos of car crashes. The 5 year diary itself is well worn and loose from the binding but is still attached.

‎MRS JANE TROUP [nee ROSE]‎

‎1891 1892 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT OF THE TROUP FAMILY OF ROCKBEARE EXETER LIVING A LIFE OF PRIVILEGE AND ILLNESS‎

‎ROCKBEARE EXETER DEVON ENGLAND GREAT BRITAIN UK. Good. 1891. On offer are two very intriguing English diaries for the years 1891 and 1892. There is little doubt that the author lives a life of privilege being a "well to do" family living in or actually on the outskirts of Exeter Devon England. Research suggests the family lives in the small village of Rockbeare in a manor that once belonged to Lord Canterbury. While the 1891 diary is written by a Mrs. Jane Troup formerly Jane Rose and identified through census records as she is otherwise unsigned. Written in the front of the diary by another hand it appears is "Thomas Potts James". An extremely active life she says Mr. Troup travels and lectures quite a bit and this is also extra work and staff as our author is also in a wheel chair of some sort part or much of the time and it also appears she had troubles with the birth of her son. She talks about the baby and the nurse going everywhere with her and when she goes down to the garden she's taken by one of the servants in her "bath chair". The first diary 1891 is full of handwritten entries save for 12 or so pages when she becomes sick and also plenty of entries in the back on the memoranda pages. The second diary 1892 is only about ½ full and it is written by someone else in the household. Her is some online census info regarding the author et al: "Rockbeare House John Rose TROUP born ca. 1850 in Bengal East Indies Profession/ occupation; "Own means" Frances B. TROUP born ca. 1860 in Philadelphia Pa John R. TROUP Jr. born ca. 1890 in Rockbeare Rose Andrews nurse Susanne CLAMPET cook LUCY MILLS housemaid Henry HIGGS butler Thomas YANDLE coachman. In the 1901 census Frances B TROUP is living with her mother Isabela JAMES born in the U. S. at Offwell House in Offwell Devon England. Elms the trouble maker is Henry ELMS a 50 year old farmer. Augustus R. PODMAN is Vicar of Rockbeare. Firhall was purchased by Captain Troup who married John Rose of Holmes daughter Jane. They had four sons all brought up at Firhall and all who entered the military service of the East India Company. Hugh retired as general; Colin became Brigadier-General; Robert had command of the 2nd Oude Local Infantry and Captain John Rose Troup married an Indian Lady of great wealth." Here are some snippets: 1891 "February 24th Went to the station in the morning for Mr. Troup at the 11 o'clock train. Told him of all the Elm's an old servant of theirs trouble and he decided to go out after lunch and dismiss him surtainly which he did with Yendle as witness forbidding him to come near our part. Mr. Turner quite decided and Elms found his match. We sent for a police man to see that Elms did not do any mischief but he went right into Exeter." "February 27th A beautiful day. I walked down into the gardens and found it very warm. Yendle and Higgs were both there. Higgs said it was the first time he had been in it for 12 months and Yendle the 1st time he had walked round it for 49 years; when Lord Canterbury lived here and he came as a lad. Drove with Frances Nurse and Baby to the station and to Mrs. Tollard's for clothes." "March 1st Mrs. Clanfelt went to church in the morning. Nurse Lucy and Yendle in the afternoon. Mr. Podmore preached all day about Elms wickedness to the great delight of the other servants." She just hired a new gardener named Mark Quick "March 20th A bright sunny morning and I went down to the garden with Mr. Troup. The new gardener has made a great change in the greenhouse. It is well arranged and delightfully clean so that I could set down in it with comfort and there are many flowers in bloom. It looks very bright and pretty." "May 11th A lovely day. Yendle went into Exeter to get champagne for me as the doctor says I must drink it. I walked outside the door when I at last got dressed and breathed the fresh air. Watched Zuck and Win doing the porch beds. Ceased the fires in my room I hope for the summer. I wore a thinner dress." "May 21st The man came out with the horse this morning and though the day seemed showery I thought I should get a drive this afternoon but at 3 o'clock it began to rain and though I sat in my bonnet for ½ an hour. I had at last to give up going out which I have tried to do every day for a week without success. I have almost given up expecting better weather. F and I went into the trunk room for an hour put away some things. Five in the evening in bedrooms and all day in dining room." "May 29th I had a letter from Mr. Cann that Elms summons me to the Castle of Exeter on Thursday the 11th to answer for breaking my contract……" "June 26th Another day with heavy rain in the morning but a bright afternoon. I went down to the garden in my bath chair. Anna Sparks sent baby a little musical chair. It is very pretty. We could not go to Exeter on account of the storm. Very heavy thunder showers yesterday in many parts of England doing great damage." "July 23rd Had a statement of my _________ income at the guard and a draft of 194.18 pounds. They only charged me a half percent and Waskin's charged me 5 percent for nearly receiving the charges of my Cambridge and Boston property. I am glad our quarrel separated us. He would have made a good thing out of me." "August 28th Another day of terrible showers. I felt good for nothing all day. Higgs went into Exeter to stay over night and Quick to buy a gun to go out with Mr. Troup at my expense. Had a fire in the outer hall made immediately after lunch and sat by it. Dr. Lower came to see Mr. Troup who is still much out of sorts. Higgs took me down in the garden just after breakfast and before the showers began." "September 3rd Today was rather fine but cold. Had three partridges cooked for dinner they were excellent. Mrs. Troup and I went to Conn Alherton's garden party. St. Leonard's lawn is a charming place. Had a pleasant drive in and out. Called at the Drymond's as we went in. They had just returned from the Lakes. Saw the Addington's at the party very few people from this side of Exeter and few clergymen. Had a fire in the drawing room." "September 29th Did not go to drive as Yendle had to go after the clothes. Higgs took me down to the garden in the bath chair. My birthday present from Mr. Troup came today a beautiful wolf skin rug to keep me warm in the carriage or chair." "October 7th Better this morning. Wrote to Ella but went to bed with laryngitis cough and was kept in my room most of the time in bed until October 19th when I came down to dinner." She doesn't write from Oct. 8th to the 19th while she's sick "October 20th They went with lady and nurse this morning as it was bright. I came downstairs into the old little dining room to which they moved last Saturday. It seems very pleasant to get down and have my bedroom cleaned. I am weak but fell much better. Dr. Somers had made me 8 visits and 6 or 7 bottles of medicine." "November 12th Had a good room at the Rougemont in Exeter last night. Had good seats play interesting. Coffee tea and cake served between the acts. We did not take any. I shall another time. Went shopping and then to the flower show. Cann took me in before it was open." "November 16th I did not go out but lay on the couch and visited for the journey home. Carriage came for us at 4. Nurse and some baggage went in the train and got here soon after we did. Smith brought her over in his trap. I should have felt better had it not been for this tomaloe' beef I ate Saturday which disturbed my bowls. Went to the garden in my chair." "November 17th Glad on the whole to get home. Annie had done no end of work while we were away. She is a treasure and waits on me most faithfully. Keeping me in bed mornings and bringing up my breakfast. She put away some of my things and got xmas presents for most of the servants." Curiously the 1892 diary is that fact that when she talks about her two children she calls one of them Alfred and one "Boy" or "dirty creature". 1892 "February 29th Amy went with papa and Constance in the afternoon to see the children's costume ball at Walter's. She was out with Constance and Richard in the morning. Mammie out with Alfred in the garden in the morning." "August 3rd For two days I have put Alfred to bed without rocking him. Today he rebelled but I gained the victory in the end. He slept very well at night but woke up 4:15 and did not sleep afterwards but he is very good today. We all went up to the woods this morning. Boy fell off the bed but did not bruise himself. I think he fell on the pillow and then rolled off." "August 13th Both boys well and happy. Alfred slept until 7:15. He is improving slowly I think. Boy likes playing with the postman's ____. He always calls him "dirty creature" because I said he was so at first." Many names are mentioned: "Capt. Lionel Banon Dickinson Polard Sanders Drew Emily Goddard Burne Clampit Anna Sparks Kerr Maxwell Dymond Lord and Lady Dunboyne Lady Malcolm Gibbs Daw" and more. Each of the diaries measures about 4 ½" x 7 ¼" and the blue one has a stained cover and the red cover has completely fallen away from the pages but the text block is together and the cover is accounted for.

‎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."

‎Hannah Blackburn‎

‎1870 1890-1903 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL OF LIFE AND TIMES & STAGE - STEAM - TRAIN TRAVELS DIARY‎

‎New Waterford Ohio OH / Columbiana Co. Good. 1870. Original Wraps. On offer are two diaries originally belonging to Hannah Blackburn of New Waterford Columbiana Co. Ohio. The earliest diary representing the year 1871 does not have her name in it but the second diary representing the year 1890-1903 does have her name. The writing is very much the same in both diaries. The 1871 diary has 40 leaves both sides have long handwritten entries so therefore you actually get 80 pages of diary entries. The later diary has 24 leaves both sides or 48 pages. The earliest diary is actually more of a day to day journal starts on March 11th 1871 and ends March of 1872 although she does skip the odd day. The later diary is more of a trip diary where Hannah keeps a log of the various trips she makes between the years of 1890 and 1903. Following are a few excerpts: 1871 "There was a man here from the old country. He is selling photos. Gave us one for his dinner. They are worth 30 cents. He says the Lord Chancellor of England was a Blackburn; he gives the Blackburn's quite a puff. He was here this eve to do some fixing at C. buggy….There was two strange women at the meeting one of them came from Kansas….L.Y. R.H. and the child started for Salem with the carriage and one cow. Laura and father went with them as far as the election. Sarah went to John's in the 4 horse wagon….David and Mag were married. Got along very well. Charlie and Sallie were waiters they had 34 for dinner. Seth and Mattie Nathan and Beck were cooks….Charles started for good old Penna. We put a quilt in the frames. Joseph Bell was buried. Father mother John and Sallie went to the funeral. He was buried in the Hicksite graveyard at Carmel. He died 1st day eve……This is father and mothers 47th anniversary. They rode to Mur on horseback when they were married it being the custom at that time…." In the back of the diary one will find 3 pages of genealogy notes and dates. She mentions her fathers and mothers death. Also that "Fanny" got killed when she got her teeth taken out Martha's death Williams's death and Lydia's death. All of which were before 1893. 1890 "22nd of 8th mo. Charles took me to Waterford got me a ticket to go to Salem. Paid 45 cents train came at 8:20. When I got on had not been on long when a man came to me and asked if I was a drunkard. Said he sold plain goods in Chicago. When we got to Columbiana Gate Ruggy Rex and Frank Harrison got on. Were going to Salem…3 or 4 miles from Abel to Horton next station Sheridan. Ate dinner near a meeting house on our way from Abel's to Thorntown 16 miles from Thorntown in Boone Co. Crossed the pike that went from Indianapolis city saw the telephone. Wonderful sight of corn fields. Good corn. 4th day after now going west on a dusty gravel road. A great deal of cane several mills. Elizaville a country village 12 miles east of Thorntown. Passed a large brick schoolhouse not far off graveyard new house. Pikes Crossing 6 miles from Thorntown. Came to a sugar camp…." Then mentions Darlington Hannah Dover Lebanon Joliet Eagleton Westfield. "Abel and Abbie started for Bearly About 36 miles in the open wagon. I was going along but it rained too much. John Harvey from Aroma the North Eastern part of Hamilton co. went along in his buggy he is very hard of hearing…." Trip to Indianapolis not sure of date but I also believe it's the 1890s "When we got off at Columbus we looked around to see if we knew anyone could see no one. We went into the waiting room. Thomas started to hunt and Will Henry came to him he had the carriage and we were soon all snugly tucked in and on our way. They had made arrangements for us to go to Joseph's to supper which we did after a short drive on the pike where we found Joseph and wife Rachel Mary Anna Little Jessie and a friend of Anna's. We washed off a little and they soon had a good dinner of beef Irish and sweet potatoes tomatoes jelly butter pickles looked like watermelon rind apricots butter bread apples and peach pie sweet cake loaf and coffee……Mary Warren and I took another ride in the big carriage. Went west to the far side of their place then south as far as their place. Went west a few rods to see the rebel soldier's grave yard where there are 2260 soldiers buried. It is on part of Camp Charles. Went east quite a distance then too south until we came to the cemetery. Mary had a pass so the man opened the gate and let us see it. It is a very large place. We drove through a part of it. Saw where Rebecca Miles was buried saw the soldiers graves. They are buried in a circle. When we left there drove to the idiotic asylum went over it some. Did not see many of the inmates as it was vacation. A few boys sewing making pants &c &c. more on the asylum….We were soon tucked in his spring wagon and on the way. Had a very pleasant ride. The roads were good the moon shining bright. The house was all lighted up when we got here. Henry was standing outside of the yard gate when we drove up the rest were all soon out. she then goes on for another pages telling of how they sat down to a wonderful fried chicken dinner and also describes the house and home site in detail" 1897 Trip "Left Salem 10 min. past 8. Washingtonville at 9. Greenford. Loveland Canfield Austintown Mineral Ridge. Saw a town to the left. A man and woman 2 children on train. Baby cried very hard. Youngstown.

They soon took us to the dining room where we had a good supper much more on this also…….20th. Visited the schools in the forenoon. Afternoon took a ride down to the lower reservation about 6 miles. Forded the Allegheny River went in one Indian house. It looked as fine as the generality of white folks homes. The woman had become of Abel's scholars. ….Crossed Tunessa Creek on the foot log came back on the little bridge…." Both of the diaries are in fair to good condition. She writes in pencil so some of the writing is a bit smudged but all is readable. There is general foxing through-out but all in all two great journals. ; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; Hand Written Personal Memoir Travel Europe Steamships Steamer Handwritten hand written autograph autographs signed letters document documents manuscript manuscripts writers writer author holograph personal Americana Germany Romance Women's Studies Feminism Sociology Train Steam Rail Pre Sufferage Suffrage . paperback‎
