1936rif. 030251Phoenix Arizona 1936. Very legibly handwritten 365 pages aside from a few compressed days' worth of memories at the front pages & a couple of 'Memorandum' pages at back with a few names and addresses. Compiled in1936 by repurposing a 1930 blank diary with appropriate changes of dates written-in. Lola Felty Wright was the wife of Charles H. Wright 1882 - 1943 a 40-year law enforcement veteran in the West which was mostly spent with the Phoenix police. In addition to being a mother and homemaker churchwoman & the partner of an active lawman Lola F. Wright took care of the family farm fished hunted had the care of older children and extended relations and reports on all the activities in which she was involved along with those of her husband and noting the details of shopping cooking & menus at home and when dining out church affairs and visiting speakers and a very active social and family life. At this point of her life she's in her mid-'50s and continuing a rigorous round of life active in country and city. The diary is a good record of the times as well with day-by-day notes on political social and family life as well as that of the U.S. and mostly frugally coping daily living in the throes of the Great Depression. Interwoven throughout the daily recorded life-detail is a great sense of interpersonal & community cooperation and interactivity that was helping folks "get by" together. Jan. 1 1936. "…Husband worked all night last night on radio Patrol. Will work from 10 to 6 all this month… Jan. 20. "…went to Republican club meeting at Y.M.C.A. Mrs. Eva Robinette was reelected state president.

1854rif. 9279Columbus: Ohio State Journal Company 1854. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very good-. Octavo 135pp. illustrated. This is the second edition published two years after the first and certainly the better one being the first to contain the numerous tinted lithographed plates. About very good in the publisher's blind-tooled red cloth with gilt detail on the spine. Some inartful but not disfiguring coloring-in to some chipped areas on the spine extremities. This copy lacking the folding frontispiece and one plate "View of Morrow from the South" but otherwise complete and with five plates not noted in the list of illustrations all in the Cleveland area "Cleveland Station" "West Branch Rocky River Near Olmsted Station" "East Branch Rocky River Berea Station" "Elk Creek" and "Grand River Near Painesville Station". The list of illustrations calls for 28 plates including the map. While we have 26 of the 28 the 5 extra yield a total of 31 plates. Thus while incomplete still a desirable and very "Cleveland" copy of this important image-driven guide for rail travelers in Ohio. The author goes on tangents for example spending more than two pages discussing the general history of the Mormons as the guide passes through Kirtland but these digressions seem to be in some sense the point--offering diversion to the weary traveler. Howes O52; Thomson 887. With strong recent auction records we have priced the book accordingly at about 1/3 its natural price were the frontispiece present. Ohio State Journal Company hardcover
