Alton Ross Hodgkins
1904 Diary of a Bright New England Teen Who Would Become a Foreign Relations Advisor for the US Government and Economics Professor At Top American Universities
Maine New England Usa. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 1904. Softcover. On offer is a diary of a seemingly average teenage boy living on a farm who would grow up to become an academic and have an important impact on the United States of America. The author of the diary is Alton Ross Hodgkins 1890-1952 a 14-year-old boy who would go on to become Dr. Hodgkins a foreign relations correspondent for the US State Department and an Economics professor at many renowned academic institutions SEE FULL BIO NOTES AT END OF LISTING. Hodgkins diary is full of the details of a young teenager who is intent on keeping a detailed record of his daily life. At the time he kept this diary Alton was living in Damariscotta Mills Maine. His father was a farmer. It is clear from Altons diary that he equally valued contributing to the family farming work and his academics. Some excerpts give the flavour of the diary: It has snowed all day. It was tough coming home from school tonight. We had to take some exams today. Got A in Latin and B in Algebra. We had Uncle Charlies team today Jan 22. My Birthday. Got up a little after seven. Pa carried uncle John to the train this morning. I went down to Ermalines after milk this forenoon. Been reading about all of the afternoon. Marm gave me a couple of books. Been reading them Mar 19. Pa and I have been hoeing planting etc. All the day. Sunie went up to Netties this evening and is going to stay all night. I went down to Sizzies after milk tonight June 4. Pa and I mowed McCurdas swamp this forenoon and branched it this afternoon.

And that I will try to be more attentive to my work at home 1904 New Years Resolutions tucked into diarys back pocket. For a social historian this diary paints a very clear picture of day-to-day life in rural New England at the turn of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of a young teenager. It is fascinating to find clues as to this boys future success. His surprisingly tidy handwriting dedication to recording details and ongoing comments about his academics make up some of the pieces of the puzzle.

Alton graduated from Bates College in Maine received his Masters degree from Washington University and a PhD from John Hopkins.

Frederick William Abendschein (Presumed Author)
1919-1920 Diary of a Cornell University Freshman Who Has Waited out the Great War to Finally Achieve His College Dream
Ithica New York. Good with no dust jacket. 1919. Softcover. On offer is the engaging diary of a post WWI student at Cornell University. The author of this diary is believed to be Frederick William Abendschein 1894-1975 though this cannot be confirmed. There are contextual clues that loosely identify our author as either Abendschein or someone close to him. The clues include references to his sister Edith by name and by date of her wedding and his brother-in-law Frank Elliott Wood as well as mentions of the familys last name. There are other pieces of complementary information within the journal such as a reference to a War Risk Insurance Policy dated 1917 #3081. Abendschein served in WWI from May 1918 through February 1919. The diary records our authors first year at Cornell University and in many ways reads as a love letter to the institution. Our author is so happy to be a student at Cornell despite the typical freshman challenges he faces. He recounts the usual types of experiences a new student might have including figuring out campus his classes and fraternity life. He begins his diary at the beginning of the school year and concludes it in the summer with only a few brief entries later in 1920. The following excerpts will give a flavour of the diary: After two years of waiting with apparent endless hard luck Im on the way at last. Its one grand and glorious feeling. Edith Mother Elliott and I had supper then on the way
Sept 28 1919. The end of my first day at Cornell. Some day! After many trials and reverses registration was finally completed. Just one damn thing after another
Sept 29 1919. Had quite a pleasant day on the hill well some with marked improvement in trig. Procured my text book after some little difficulty. Went to the Theta Xi house tonight and while it doesn't present the same appearance as Chi Psi the house and fellows are a great bunch. Enjoyed every minute of it. Met people who knew some in R. And lunch at Ithica Oct 13 1919. Spent the afternoon and reading. Went to library in the evening to get some dope for my Eng theme. Came home and studied Feb 19 1920. Very busy day. Came down the Hill at 5 and went to work on Chem. Worked until 10. Then bed Apr 12 1920. The Descript was a bear. Feel sure I buster higher than a bit. Went to Forge in the afternoon. Very tired Did some English and went to bed May 4 1920. All in today and didnt go up the Hill until the afternoon. Took Peggy for a walk and had a mighty nice time. Worked all evening. Received a wedding announcement from Louise Anchaus June 4 1920. For a social historian this small diary offers an excellent look into the life of a college student who was likely fresh out of the U. S. Army and immediately following WWI. It offers an interesting look into one aspect of the generation that would eventually be referred to as the Lost Generation. This diary is a 7-ring binder measuring 7.0x4.5 inches. The covers are a pebbled leatherette with the word Diary embossed on the front in gold. The diary is set up as a students diary with pages beginning in September. There are two days per page for a total of approximately 194 pages including some information pages. The covers and pages are in good condition and the handwriting is legible. It is approximately 65% complete. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . paperback

Gordon Carl Ham
1940 Diary of a Blue Collar Rural New Yorker Working Day and Night in Southport to Provide for His Family of Five
Southport New York Rural NY. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1940. Hardcover. On offer is an interesting diary from rural NY in the years immediately preceding WWII. The diary belonged to Gordon Carl Ham 1903-1972. The eldest child born to parents John and Nettie in Southport Chemung County New York Gordon lived on a farm in the Elmira area which is located in the southern tier portion of upstate New York. Context and census data suggests that he worked for the local municipality mostly doing road work. He was married to Mrs. Prudence Cortright Ham. Together they had two daughters and a son Joyce Sharon and Clairmont. Gordon kept this diary when he was in his mid-30s when his children were 7 8 and 9 years old. His writing focuses on the daily life of a blue collar worker who toils at his day job as well as on his family farm. It is truly amazing that our author found time to write in a diary given his workload. Some excerpts indicate the flavour of the diary: Plowed over to North Vanitten Van Etten NY got stuck R Mullen and Tommy Wood brought #9 over and helped me out. Rick came over and got in ditch C K & C Everheart gor laid off for 2 weeks for getting drunk" Mar 6. Plowed and rolled up Wuncoop Wyncoop Creek and then Hogback. Awful hot.

J C and I went up in woods after Christmas tree. Sharon quite sick all day. Ma came home sick from Bernies Dec 15. The enclosed ephemera consists of several bills for electricity and shipping as well as a lovely Valentines card. For a social historian this simple diary gives a very good look into part of the daily on-going work and life in a small rural part of America. Written in 1940 this diary contains 183 pages plus memoranda pages and some pieces of ephemera. It measures 7.25 inches by 5.0 inches and is approximately 85% complete. The hard cover is in good condition. The stitched binding is loose by all pages are intact. The handwriting is legible.

UNKNOWN
1931-1934 Diary of a Bright Politically Engaged Halifax Nova Scotia Christian Woman Who is a Musician in a Philharmonic
Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is an interesting diary of a Halifax-area woman who seamlessly comments on global political events the movements of the stock market and the events of her fascinating daily life over the course of three years. The author of this diary is unknown. From context she lives in or near Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. We think she was married to a man named Percy and had a daughter named Adelaide. We know she has an extremely close contact named Belle with whom she socialized almost constantly and seems to have worked for at times but it is unclear whether Belle is a friend or family member. She is obviously educated and is acutely aware of the political world around her as well as the challenges of the stock market and references both global and local events frequently. She is a musician who plays in a philharmonic attends church and missionary meetings and seems to have an active family and social life. Our unknown author begins her diary on Feb 27 1931 and continues until November 1934 with random gaps throughout particularly in 1931 and 1932. Some excerpts give a sense of her style: .Terrible loss on waterfront. Peace with India about settled. Belle had tea and went to Mrs. Murrays in fur. P took us. Got fringe March 5 1931. Hot. Went to town for a bit. Had nap and then took A. L. To see Daddy Long Legs. Came home early. Hot in house
Hoovers plan came out. Market soared June 20 1931. .Bad in afternoon. Rehearsal for concert in new gym. Nice place March 3 1932. Nice in morning. Storm in afternoon. Was at dentist nerve dying. Market bad. Did not go to Philharmonic Feb 8 1932. Lovely day. Downtown in am. Bad for a while
Listened to radio. Helped A. L. And then came home. Market better Feb 16 1932. "Fine. Did some sewing and got dinner. Bad in afternoon. Went to Musical Club in p. M. With B Mary K and Mrs. Mercer" Mar 17 1932. Nice snow fall. A. L. Had a great time. Stock market closed in New York. Had bridge with Percy
and Bad at night March 4 1933. Cleared a bit. Wintry. All banks closed in US. Worrisome days. Helped at Belles. Nap and then washed. Went to Phil. Very good practise March 6 1933. Hot. Went to golf. Tried Percys clubs. Made a light tea & Belle A. L. & I went out in canoe. Lovely evening July 6 1934. Beautiful day. Played golf in AM. Helped Belle in afternoon for party. Went to Missionary Picnic at Park. Lovely time and lunch Aug 7 1934. Lovely in a. M. Went to Riverport with Lois and Hector. Had dinner at Lunenburg with Barbara and Sarah. Rain in afternoon.Splendid Oct 25 1934. For a social historian especially of Depression-era Canada this diary provides an intimate look at daily life for one woman during a bleak economic time in one of Canadas poorer provinces. For a Gender Studies program this diary clearly shows the role played in society by more well-off yet globally aware women in that early period of Canadas history. This small 5-year diary measures 5.3x3.75 inches and contains 365 pages. The cover is a brown padded leather with inlaid designs and is closed with a clasp broken. The cover is in good condition with some wear marks on the corners. The binding is in good condition although 3 pages in the centre of the book have detached but are still present in the diary. The pages are in good condition. The diary is about 65% complete. The handwriting is legible. Overall Fair. ; Manuscripts; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 365 pages . hardcover
