ABERDEEN WASHINGTON WA. Good. 1904. On offer are three 3 original field books most probably written in 1904 and detailing the rebuilding of the city of Aberdeen Washington after a raging fire destroyed the town. On October 16 1903 a raging fire destroyed 140 buildings in the center of Aberdeen Washington. A city constructed primarily of wood including sidewalks Aberdeen had little chance of stopping the fire once it began to spread. Obviously the city needed to rebuild its streets after the fire. Two people one by the name of Weatherwax and the other by the name of Benn seem to have been hired to do the task. Weatherwax is most probably J.M. Weatherwax or George Weatherwax two men who owned a large lumber company in Aberdeen and Benn is most probably Samuel Benn. The three books are labelled P-138 book 44 P-214 book 105 and P-215 book 106. Each book contains an index at the beginning which lays out what streets in the city are written about. For example book P-215 deals with information on old planks new elevations storm sewers street levels and more on the 20 different street including �Michigan Ave� �Jefferson St.� �Washington St.� and more. The books are excellent artifacts of city construction from the early 20th century containing dozens of pages of detailed schematics drawings charts and figures for the city of Aberdeen in the wake of its destruction. There are approximately 450 handwritten pages over the three books. The books each measure 7 �� by 4 �� inches. All three show sustained use and strong wear. For the most part the structural integrity is still there however the last book P-215 shows the most wear with parts of the book disconnected from the binding. Two of the books shows evidence of taping to the spine and boards. These books are a fascinating look at the intricacies and details of rebuilding a city after its destruction and an intimate part at the history of Aberdeen Washington a place that Kurt Cobain would eventually call home. Background: On October 16 1903 a fire destroys 140 buildings in the center of Aberdeen. Fed by wood-frame structures wooden sidewalks and sawdust fill the fire rages unchecked until some 20 acres have burned. The fire will spur the city leaders to enact a more stringent fire code. On the morning of October 16 1903 a resident of the Arctic Hotel began making breakfast in his room. An accidental fire started and the room was quickly engulfed in flames killing the lone occupant. Within minutes the three-story frame structure was ablaze and the fire spread to adjoining buildings including the fire station and jail.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ABERDEEN WASHINGTON FIELD BOOKS TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY 1903 ABERDEEN FIRE MILL TOWNS J.M.

Bound in the original gilt-stamped red cloth. From the preface: "For a hundred years or more the bibliographical scholars of the world have sought to identify the man of genius who in the mid-fifteenth century changed the course of civilization by introducing the art of printing into the Western World� Our knowledge of Gutenberg and of his claim rests upon two factors: First upon a series of documents in manuscript that range from 1420 to the settling of his estate in 1468. These however fail to give conclusive support to his claim as the inventor of printing although presenting in the early records an occasional and vague reference to printing paper ink a press and 'four pieces' which Theodore Low DeVinne Dr. Otto W. Fuhrmann and others have identified as the parts of a type-casting mould. The second factor consists of tributes to Gutenberg by his contemporaries and their successors which specifically name him as the inventor of printing in statements which appeared in printed books issued during the years 1470-1499.".
