Blue hardcover in dustjacket stated first edition no number-line. A fair copy of both book and dustjacket. Notably edgeworn with bumping and discoloration along the bottom edge and spine ends impacted. Binding is cocked forward and although all pages are still bound in there is a feeling of looseness.

The dustjacket is shiny and bright not clipped but suffers from a series of small toothmarks at the top of the front and rear panels spineward - otherwise this would be a very nice jacket. 308 pp. color photo inserts corresponding to the areas of looseness in the binding. <br/><br/> Alfred A.

Herbert E Stevens
1929 Original Manuscript Diary of a Retired Buffalo New York Engineer At the Onset of the Great Depression
Buffalo New York: Buffalo New York 1929. Good. 1929. Hardcover. On offer is the 1929 diary of Herbert Stevens a 72-year-old retired engineer in Buffalo New York. This small diary covers the historically fascinating period of January to December 1929 encompassing the onset of the Great Depression. It is an excellent resource for an urban historian painting an intimate picture of the life of a retired couple right at the time when things would begin to go terribly wrong for both Buffalo and the American economy. Stevenss lengthy diary entries describe his life in rich detail: Has been a cool day and I have stayed inside a good share of it and had a time getting fire to burn enough to keep us warm . . . Feb 10 1929 This AM was up early as did not feel good took a walk later did some few things around the house also got some things stood in need of and also did a lot of fixing up. Apr 13 1929 As Eva went in town to see about some things was gone most of day and and didnt get at real work til home again about 8: 30 then spaded a while also few things needed care and later lissened a nice hour of music . . . May 20 1929 Mostly cool today Up early for me and did a lot of small things needed doing also went to store after for eats - though got only a few myself but rather gave Edward possibly his youngest son Edward b 1914 a five dollar bill to use . . . Aug 9 1929Stevens was born in Evans New York in 1857 and lived in Buffalo with his wife Eva. Together they raised a family of 4 children. A City of Buffalo Directory indicates that Stevens was an engineer. He passed away in 1938 at the age of 81 and his wife passed away the same year. At the onset of the Great Depression Buffalo New York had 573000 inhabitants making it the thirteenth-largest city in the United States. Because of its location and the proximity of the Erie Canal connecting it to New York City Buffalo had become an industrial powerhouse. However with the Great Depression came severe unemployment especially among working class men. President Franklin Roosevelts New Deal relief programs operated in full force but the citys days as a great industrial center had passed and the population declined precipitously after World War Two never to recover. The diary measures 5.25 inches by 2.75 inches and contains 121 pages. The covers and pages are in good condition. The binding is intact but the spine is cracked. The handwriting is dense but legible. ; Manuscripts; 5.25" X 2.75"; 121 pages; Great depression; herbert stevens; buffalo ny; buffalo in the great depression; 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; Signed by Author .
