Western Photography. Travel
A Tour Including Some of the Garden Spots of the Arid West; Affording an Opportunity to See What Has Been Accomplished Through Irrigation. caption title
Various locations in the West 1909. Very good. Forty-seven leaves containing forty-one photographs 4 x 6 inches supplemented by postcards and a few newspaper clippings. Oblong octavo album. Original leather cover gilt black paper leaves. Spine perished but holding covers worn. Some leaves intentionally trimmed on fore edge. Two photos loose and laid in. Contents clean and fresh. An interesting album documenting a train trip to the Western United States taken by several businessmen from Chicago on a tour to study irrigation investments in Colorado Idaho and Wyoming. The album starts out with panels from the trip brochure pasted onto the first two leaves followed by newspaper clippings documenting the trip as well as a map of the train routes in the west and a sheet of stationery signed by all the members of the party. The trip was organized by Trowbridge & Niver a municipal bond company based in Chicago and one Denver newspaper headline notes "Half-Billion Dollars Represented in Party. Many are already backing projects here and are making trip to investigate." Each photograph is captioned with a typed label documenting stops along the route starting with Fort Morgan Colorado. There are several images of Eldorado Springs including the swimming pool and a large building whose roof says "Moving Pictures" which we presume to be an early movie theatre. There are many group shots of the "Buffalo Party" along the way all looking quite dapper in caps and touring coats out to spend their millions. One image shows the group on a tour by buggy captioned "Our party inspecting irrigated orchards at Palisade Colorado." There are three photographs of Salt Lake City followed by a series in Idaho which includes a charming photo of several women laughing captioned "Shoshone Indians at Pocatello Idaho." There is a series taken along the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon followed by several images taken in Boise. This cataloguer's favorite is a pair of photos taken at the local pool showing the men in their swimsuits: "Buffalonians in the Natatorium Boise." The final four photos depict the group at stops in Wyoming. Throughout the compiler has used postcards to set the scenery for the trip using the photographs to capture the group itself on tour. Altogether a wonderful album documenting a business trip yet assembled like a family vacation album or young woman's scrapbook. The format speaks to the novelty of such a trip even for businessmen in the early years of the 20th century. unknown books

Wheatley Richard
Manuscript Journal of Richard Wheatley Boston Massachusetts 1805-1807 including manuscript poems by his daughter Ellen W. Pease 1835-1839
12mo Includes the following: 14 pp. Richard Wheatley's Journal dated 13 Sept 1805 - 26 Nov 1807; 10 pp. Richard Wheatley's business ledger; and 12 pp. of Ellen W. Pease's manuscript poetry and verse dated February 5 1835 - February 24 1839 plus blanks. The last leaf is missing. Bound in contemporary vellum worn rubbed scuffed text block nearly detached from binding written in ink some fading though largely legible else good.Manuscript journal of Richard Wheatley b. c. 1770-80 d. c. 1840 describing his travels including a trip to Savannah and elsewhere in Georgia. The journal commences with Wheatley's return home after an eight week "passage." He takes a stage from New York to his home in Boston making several stops along the way. Upon returning to Boston he visits a number of places including Canton the home of his future wife Hannah Dunbar. <p>Wheatley who appears to have been in the textile business begins another trip traveling by steam packet to New York before boarding a brig for Savannah. Here he meets fellow business men and inspects cargos upon arrival from Liverpool. </p> <p>The journal contains a four page description of his travels within Georgia. He meets a Mr. Macky <i>"a Scotchman who told me he could walk thru the streets of this town </i>Savannah<i> from the first of July to the end of September without meeting a white man and if he appeared to meet one he looked like as if he had come out of the Hospital."</i> Wheatley then set out by stagecoach for Augusta Georgia where he met with some businessmen purchased a horse and rode to Briar Creek where he dined then on to Louisville and to Milledgeville a place that is <i>"to be the capital of the state of Georgia. 12 months ago there was no house in it but a log house."</i> </p> <p>After further travels in Georgia Wheatley made his way back to Savannah. Here he became sick and complained: <i>"This country is troubled with almost all kind of troublesome insects. such as sand flies tick Myscatoco sic and several kinds of insects that breed in rotton sic food several stories being told of Mrs. Wilson such as that no sick person ever got well in her house." </i> Wheatley was then an unfortunate guest at Mrs. Wilson's house. </p> <p>Wheatley departed Savannah upon his recovery aboard the Brig <i>Mount Vernon</i> bound for Providence Rhode Island. While traveling he witnessed an eclipse which he describes before returning to Boston. </p> <p>Wheatley later makes a journey to Maine here he mentions visiting a horse fair at Brunswick on a trip from Boston to Bath Maine. He made a number of stops at Hallowell Freeport "Kennebunk" as well as others. At Augusta he relates hearing the news of a man who killed his wife seven children and then himself. Wheatley conducts his travels to further his textile business and interests. There is not much detail on his business the journal only mentioning the names of people he met with. </p> <p>Almost every Sunday that Wheatley is in Boston he attends "Stilman's Meeting-House" which would appear to be the Revolutionary War Baptist preacher Samuel Stillman's 1737-1807 church. Stillman's Boston church was a place where the likes of John Adams and John Hancock could be found listening to Stillman's preaching. It was also Stillman's Church at about this time 1805 that gave birth to the First African Church now Peoples Baptist Church of Roxbury. In 1807 Wheatley mentions attending the funeral for "Docter Stilman." sic </p> <p>Near the end of the journal Wheatley mentions renting a house from an "Ezra Davis" for "$400 per annum" and then getting married to "Hannah Dunbar" of Canton MA and returning with her to Boston. </p> <p>Ellen W. Pease the author of the poetry and verse has written under her name that she was born 22 April 1808. Also under her name are the names Mary D. Pease born June 9 Windwell Pease born April 19 and Gamaliel Pease born May. While there are no years for the birth of Mary D. Windwell and Gamaliel Pease the names of Windwell and Gamaliel Pease are unique enough that a check of the genealogical databases of Ancestry.com shows that George Pease of Suffield CT had married Ellen Wheatley. George immigrated to Ohio in 1825 and along with other Pease family members they were considered some of the pioneers of the Miami Valley. The couple moved to Miami OH where George had a sizable farm. The couple had at least four children Mary D. Windwell Gamaliel and Ellen. George Pease's family had been in Enfield CT since at least the 1680's and before that in Salem MA since the 1650's. </p> <p>Ellen Wheatley is statedin <i>Centennial Portrait and Biographical Record of The City of Dayton and of Montgomery County Ohio</i> 1897 to be the daughter of Richard Wheatley and Hannah Dunbar of Washington Township Ohio. It would appear that Richard Wheatley immigrated to Ohio as well and went into business with Thomas Basson Isaac Cowder and William Black and formed The Ohio Manufacturing Company in 1816 where they manufactured yarn and cloth from cotton and wool at Woodbourn in Montgomery County Ohio. The company purchased the original plots numbered 26 and 33-34 in the town plan. After the Panic of 1819 the Ohio Manufacturing Company bought out some of its competitors in town and acquired the mill dam raceway and all the machinery and unfinished and finished stock of the Farmers and Mechanics Manufacturing Company of Centerville Ohio. He appears to have been somewhat successful for a time. </p> <p>Ellen's poetry is of a morbid nature with such titles as: <i>"Lines on the Death of a lovely Child"</i> and <i>"Epitaph."</i> In another poem Ellen welcomes death so that she can sleep with her loved one: </p> <p> <i>"I come I come if in that tide</i> </p> <p> <i>Thou sleepest tonight I'll sleep there too</i> </p> <p> <i>In death's cold wedlock by thy side</i> </p> <p> <i>Oh! I would ask no happier bed</i> </p> <p> <i>Than the chill wave my love lies under</i> </p> <p> <i>Sweeter to rest together dead</i> </p> <p> <i>Far sweeter than to live asunder."</i> </p> <p>Ellen Wheatley welcomed death and it came; she died the same year as some of poems were written still grieving over her lost children. </p> hardcover books
