George W Howe
1890s ARCHIVE OF THREE 3 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES BY AMERICAN CIVIL WAR VETERAN RAILROAD BOOSTER AND PROMINENT MEMBER OF A MICHIGAN COMMUNITY
On offer is a group of three diaries containing a treasure trove of local residents and organizations written by George W. Howe a veteran of the American Civil War and prominent member of his local community. <br /><br />The diaries are dated 1894 1895 and 1897 and measure 5.75 inches by 3.5 inches 7 inches by 3.25 inches and 7 inches by 3.25 inches respectively. All diaries are in good condition contain 365 pages plus memoranda and are 100 percent complete. <br /><br />Howe was born in 1844 and following the Civil War lived his life in Port Huron Michigan. He passed away in 1936 at age 91 or 92. Records show that he was married and his diary makes reference to a girl May and a boy Barlow. Interestingly Howe's 1894 diary is recorded in a notebook printed for 1889. Inside he stroked out the date each day and substituted the correct date for 1894 using a small calendar he pasted into the front cover. <br /><br />There is a record of Howe owning a newspaper prior to the Civil War but following the war it seems that he was deeply engaged in getting the railroad built between Port Huron and East Saginaw and up into Michigan's Thumb. He not only created subscription papers for gathering financial support for the proposed railway he also helped get information posted to the local newspaper and participated in the survey crew between Fort Gratiot and Lexington. <br /><br />Howe has a number of journal entries detailing loans and mortgages suggesting that this was part of his business activities. In fact his diaries are chock full of many many business transactions ranging from these loans to construction and repair activities and property rentals: <br /><br />"$70 interest due to M F Charleton to back interest. Mrs. Belle of mortgage $1034.13 Nov 13/94 Interest 8%" May 13 1894.<br /><br />"Barlow being at home AH thinks we can get on without Henry. He is willn to pay R E French bal of $4.00. Leaves bal of $1.23 I gave R E French ck for $4.10 bal leaves $1.13 I gave R E French 20¢ or 50¢ and got Old balance claimed of $3.80" September 22 1894. "Rent of Chalmers House by Rogers: April $1.50 Pd / May $1.50 Pd / June $1.50 Pd / July $1.50 Pd / $4.50 Cr $4.00 / Bal due Aug 1st / 50¢ settled later" September 11 1897. <br /><br />During the American Civil War Howe served in the 29th Michigan Infantry Regiment. When he mustered out he held the rank of 1st Sergeant. Following the war a number of organizations were formed to assist veterans and enable them to maintain contact with each other. Among these was the Grand Army of the Republic GAR which would grow to become the largest and most influential of such fraternal organizations. It also rapidly became entwined with partisan politics effectively becoming associated with the Republican party. Howe was very active in the GAR and the GAR's successor organization the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War named their Port Huron branch after him George W Howe Camp #9. <br /><br />He attended the 1897 National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Buffalo and includes some newspaper clippings of the event: <br /><br />"Took in the Parade of veterans and ex-prisoners of war most have seen tough times battle-scarred . . . I saw corks pulled freely liquor was being again in order. They had comfortable quarters and berths" August 24 1897. <br /><br />Howe was active in the American Republican Party and included in the 1896 diary is a form recording the votes in the Republican primary election in the Eight Ward showing the vote results of each candidate. No mention however of how he came into possession of them. <br /><br />". . . At Primary from 4:00 to close. Not much show for Bliss" July 30 1896. <br /><br />In addition to the GAR and the Republican Party Howe was active in several other community organizations such as the Masonic Lodge and a local fishing club. Through these various groups he had wide contacts in the community. Hundreds of local names are mentioned in his pages. For a local historian the pages of these diaries are a goldmine of information. The many named contacts would provide any genealogist excellent threads to follow in constructing family relationships.<br /><br />Keywords: George w.

Durocher, Leo
Playing the Giants Game; New York Giants
New York NY: National Exhibition Co. . 1949. First Edition; First Printing. Stapled wraps. Very Good. This is a smaller than trade sized booklet approx. 6" x 4" with illustrated covers and a stapled spine. The booklet is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The covers of the book have some light fading especially to the spine joints. There is some light bumping and wear to the spine ends and corners. The text pages are clean and bright. According to Worldcat there are only three copies of this booklet in libraries. "Durocher returned for the 1948 season but his outspoken personality and a 35-37 start again caused friction with Rickey and on July 16 Durocher Rickey and New York Giants owner Horace Stoneham negotiated a deal whereby Durocher was let out of his Brooklyn contract to take over the Dodgers' cross-town rivals. He enjoyed perhaps his greatest success with the Giants and possibly a measure of sweet revenge against the Dodgers as the Giants won the 1951 NL pennant in a playoff against Brooklyn ultimately triumphing on Bobby Thomson's historic game-winning "Shot 'Heard 'Round The World" home run. Later with the Giants in 1954 Durocher won his only World Series championship as a manager by sweeping the heavily favored Cleveland Indians who posted the highest American League winning percentage of all time 111–43 during the regular season. " from Wikipedia; B&W Illustrations; 48p. pages; Pictured 1/10/25 . National Exhibition Co. paperback

Croker, John Wilson (Ed); Various
Johnsoniana; or Supplement to Boswell : Being Anecdotes and Sayings of Dr. Johnson.
Leather Bound. Condition: Good. John Murray London UK 1836. xxii 530 pages. Bound with 5-ringed Burgundy leather with gold trim. Moderate general wear. Foxing scattered on preliminary pages and on and next to some plates. Size: L 4to. First published in 1836 and edited by John Wilson Croker Johnsoniana was created to serve as an essential companion piece to James Boswell's 1791 masterpiece The Life of Samuel Johnson-widely considered the greatest biography in the English language. While Boswell's biography is legendary it has a few blind spots. Boswell didn't actually meet Johnson until 1763 when Johnson was already 54 years old. Furthermore Boswell naturally framed Johnson's life through the lens of their own friendship bringing his own personal biases to the text. Johnsoniana was compiled to fill in those gaps and provide a more balanced 360-degree view of the man. Instead of relying on a single narrator Johnsoniana weaves together the firsthand accounts and diaries of Johnson's wider circle of friends rivals and contemporaries. Some of the most notable perspectives include: Hester Thrale Piozzi: A wealthy socialite and one of Johnson's closest confidantes. Her accounts provide a much more intimate domestic view of Johnson's life and his struggles with depression. Sir John Hawkins: Johnson's friend legal executor and a rival biographer. Sir Joshua Reynolds: The famous portrait painter who captured Johnson's likeness and observed his social quirks. Biography 5957L hardcover
