ref. 5300CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL. Diary. 101 pages. The Caribbean. c. 1908-9. The handwritten journal belonging to C. B. Benson of Hudson New York. The diary recounts Benson’s experience on an organized cruise group visit to Caribbean locations such as St. Thomas Puerto Rico Kingston Jamaica Caracas Venezuela Panama City Panama Port of Spain Trinidad and Martinique. Benson records his experiences in each location including his impressions of the town the locals sights he visited and local travel. He visited forts a school churches a mill a sugar plantation and Carnival celebrations. Benson took his tour during the era of colonial rule the attitudes of which infuse both his experiences and observations. Based on his mention of an earthquake in Kingston Jamaica taking place a year or two before he travelled in 1908 or 1909. “…St. Thomas where we arrived about 6 A.M. mid morning Jan 26 is one of the Virgin group and we found her framed and frescoed in the principal churches. Columbus in 1493 gave the group of 100 islands rocks and…which comprise the group. St. Thomas is 13 miles in length and 3 miles in width at its broadest. And I guess we walked the length of it speaking broadly and in the abstract at this distance.The heat of the tropical sun also takes its toll and blurs our ideas of time and distance somewhat. The town of Charlotte Amelia contains 13000 inhabitants – merchants and black babies and they are all dressed in their Sunday best to receive us properly.Thursday morning at 8 we went ashore at Porto sic Rico.Returning thro the village streets we stopped at the market place and noticed the display of fruits in baskets a couple of men seated on low stools with blacks in front of them.a native woman…was entertaining us in the middle of the road with a dance.When passing the island of Haiti.‘Do you know why we do not stop at the Island of Haiti’ ‘No’ There are cannibals there there are so many fat people aboard you would lose your wife’ At St Thomas the American council held open house and received some of us who dared to invade this solitude.An hour’s railroad ride which was made interesting by stops at every little…and station where the bare legged boy with the oil gun in hand squirted oil…bearings sic of the cars and engine. As it was before the 17 miles came to an end the rear axle of the parlor car so called because it had leather covered reclining seats caught fire. But when this happened we were nearly at the end of our journey and we were not delayed much. At the sugar plantation where we detrained we found we had some distance to walk down…to the sugar mill. As there was no path and the sticky wet ground to soil made worse by the heavy rain of the night before.A sugar mill is never a clean place.The process is somewhat intricate but way he likened to the process of brewing.The cane piled up in the yard is boiled in a number of vats then is run off with barrels and in a black and solid state in shipped to the Refineries at New York. The fiber of the cane is then hardened and dried and is fed to the furnaces to boil…cane. After return to the town San Juan we visited the shops. Walked out to the fort at the entrance of the harbor. The town is excellently policed and paved in the principal streets with telegram blocks.As this day was Thursday we concluded that every day was wash day for the native women and girls who for want of other diversions spend most of their time in this form of dissipation. Even the balconies of the main public street filled with traffic of street cars carriages and drays had their fill of wash some of which are found laying in the street having been carried down by the wind. No one had appropriated it as yet; and we did not add it to our collection of souvenirs. At the officers quarters I applied for a permit of the officer of the day to enter the fort ‘San Cristobal’ the fort commanding the entrance to the harbor.The fort was like most forts. The high tower gave a commanding view of the town and harbor. Then we visited the Governor’s Palace. In the Reception Room hanging on opposite sides facing each other are life sized oil paintings of McKinley & Cleveland. In the garden were some large palms tropical ferns a fountain &.Jan 29. early in the morning we were at Kingston in Jamaica. The channel is narrow and tortuous but well… Taking a local pilot we soon…opposite it…of three vessels one of which was the Princess Louise that was caught in the hurricane here three years ago and…the larger of the three vessels was trying to pick up the light from the light house which had been blown down. This destruction of the hurricane.After driving about a mile thru the city the destruction to the buildings & pavements made by the earthquake here a year or two ago half of the city seems to be in ruins and no attempt has been made apparently to rebuild & restore the city. Thousands of lives were lost here at that time which did immense damage to the fruits. Most of the uninhabitable part of the island belongs to the United Fruit Company a Boston Corporation who ships immense quantities of bananas from Port Antonio. Owing to recent destruction by fire of Hotel Litchfield our stop at the port of San Antonio and stay of night at the Hotel was omitted. An excursion across the island by train to Mandeville was arranged in its place.The town of Colon in its principle streets are paved with brick and appear clean. We noticed many buzzards. The air was clear and there was a delightful cool breeze blowing.We stopped at all of the stations going to Panama and noted the wonderful impressions made by the Sanitary Commission. The well ventilated and screened houses. The plan for disposal of garbage the open drainage the cleared lands…But of course the facts are here – bug and drain – all working to the mutual exclusion of some ideas to the American white employers. Therefore after a few months they must have a reaction in the States to…and detach themselves from all absorbing facts. The fighting for life against…fires.

ref. 4696JAPAN. Diary. January 14 1950 to late 1954. Various places Philadelphia Japan Fort Meade. A lengthy diary of an American officer Lieutenant Louis T. Holtz who was stationed in Japan during the Korean War. It was written on dozens of sheets of loose-leaf notebook pages and it contains many black and white photographs with captions as well as newspaper and magazine cutouts and brochures from places he visited. The diary begins on January 14 1950 in Philadelphia and he discuses seeing shows and such but notes that “All in all this constituted a very enjoyable ten days of leave prior to going overseas. Sometimes I wish I could stay at home and live a normal routine life like everyone else. Other times I find myself eager to go…Almost two years ago who could forecast a war in Korea and the manner in which it would rip everyone’s life to shreds” He writes on January 2 1951 from Kurume Japan: “…perhaps 10 years from now it the diary will be of interest – if any of our civilization remains in 1961…I collapsed 28 June and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with excessive fatigue…I am the Officer-in-charge of the Kurume Office with an area of jurisdiction of approximately 1000 square miles…”. In April 1951 he mentions “I am very busy in my position as OIC Officer In Charge. It’s a full 7-day-a-week job…The Korean mess has everyone guessing as to eh future of the Far East…being the senior official in an area of jurisdiction of nearly 10000 square miles with dozens of mayors and police chiefs constantly catching my every word as official.”. The next couple dozen pages contain black and white photographs of protests in Japan and Holtz’s commentary about the images including “When people get hurt propaganda fills the air. The winner: the Kremlin – always!” “Demonstrations take planning and people. You can always be sure the plans were framed in red and the spectators sprinkled liberally with dye-hard communist stooges” “Demonstrations & rallies are usually fantastically well organized. And as often as not they can be unbelievably orderly” and “But orderly or violent you can always be sure there is a professional communist keeping the ‘sheep’ in line or arousing them to maximum fury.” In September 1951 Holtz writes from Sapporro “…life in the Armed Services has been a miserable one because of one bad experience after another…Kurume was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable assignments I ever held. The 45th was without doubt the most bitter and least enjoyable. I gave up so much for so little…”. Holtz was in California’s Camp Stoneman in November 1951: “…with all the hundreds of officers here not particularly anxious to go overseas and with several actually fighting the assignment I was amazed to find that someone eager to return is sidetracked so abruptly…”. He was back in Japan by December and then wrote a lengthy entry entitled “The Korean Story” starting with “Combat precautions make it mandatory that no diaries or personal papers be kept where they may fall into enemy hands” and he spends the next seven pages describing his experiences in the Korean War. Holtz wrote in part: “…Things had not gone well at all with Trubota’s unit prior to August 1951. After my arrival working results proved very satisfactory…Three other officers has also joined up in the interim between leaving Sapporo and going to Korea…When oriented in Tokyo they were told that the 45th Detachment would remain in Sapporo and they had already alerted their families to start to prepare to join them overseas…I had to fight Trubota in order to be able to fight the enemy. In one occasion I was reprimanded for going to a forward observation post and not being personally available to answer the telephone at my CP…” and the section finishes with a photograph of the USS Marine Lynx the ship that brought him home. The diary continues with his being stationed at Maryland’s Fort Meade. There are photographs of the mansion he occupied in Kyushu Japanese women at the beach his fellow soldiers after a bowling tournament etc. There are “Samples of United Nations propaganda leaflets dropped on North Korean positions early in the Korean conflict” that show Truman and MacArthur a December 7 1950 letter signed by the mayor of Kurume City Japan. The condition is fine to very fine. unknown books
ref. 4689MASSACHUSETTS JOURNEY DIARY AND PHOTOGRAPHY ALBUM. Book. 115pg. 1891. Massachusetts. A travel journal and photography album entitled “Coaching Trip June 5th to 20th 1891”. There are typewritten notes about a trip from Malden Massachusetts west to the Berkshires and across the Hudson River to West Point and then back to Boston. There are almost a hundred accompanying photographs of the people scenery and activities. The journal concerns the travels of “Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Sawyer Miss Converse Miss Estabrook Captain H.E. Harry Elisha Converse and Messrs G.S. Stockwell J.E. Cochrane and P.W. Sprague” page 91. The scrapbook begins with “Coaching Trip June 5th to 20th 1891. M.B.S. M.C.P. and the scribe meet at the B. & M. Boston and Maine Railroad Station in Malden waiting to be joined by F.E.C. and E.A.E. for the 4:10 train to Boston. We wish we had a photograph of the baggage for we are sure it would be interesting as a souvenir. Bags boxes shawl straps kodaks banjo umbrellas etc. are transported across Boston to the B. & A. Station while the ladies start for Young’s Hotel stopping by the way to purchase finery for Dennis and James. F.E.C. orders dinner and as time is limited thoughtfully orders Broiled Chicken…Dinner is served in Private Parlors – It consists of Milk and crackers. This being insufficient for the insatiable J.E.C. and F.E. another dinner is ordered for them but the report comes back that fire has gone out…”. The ride continues west seemingly along the path of the modern State Route 2 aka the Mohawk Trail: “…notwithstanding the length of the afternoon drive time passes so pleasantly in talking reading singing etc. that we arrive in Northampton long before any of the party wish to leave the drag. The odometer shows that we traveled 17 miles after dinner…Short walks in some cases after dinner and then we gather on the upper veranda for an hours sing…Bloody Brook House is reached at 12.45 where we dine after which the young ladies devote themselves to letter writing…The gentlemen attend a prize fight in the rear of the house in which one party ‘Jim Carrigan’ a notorious local tough is badly cut up and a visiting tough is completely knocked out or rather kicked out…”. The party continues through Shelburne Falls Charlemonte up and down the Hoosac Mountain North Adams and into Williamstown. In Williamstown one person makes a long distance telephone call to his father and they attend a baseball game. On June 12th they turn south to Lenox and Great Barrington. On June 15th the narrator mentions that “The young ladies are demoralized this morning because they cannot get alcohol; I never saw girls so dependent upon strong drink early in the morning; this calls to mind the fact that this was to be a dry trip…the heat and dust are almost unbearable…”. They traveled to Fishkill and then take a boat to West Point where they see cadets and hear a concert. The journal concludes with a listing of the songs they heard on their travels. There are 92 photographs of various sizes. The book was apparently was specially made for the occasion since there is a logo atop every page mentioning “June 5th – 20th 1891”. The red cloth covers are disbound and the spine is missing; the front cover is gilt stamped with the date of the trip. A fine late Nineteenth Century travel memento. hardcover books
