Cooke who describes how she was “often reading the manuscript to my father and mother for comment.” Victor herself notes after publication that some of the historical facts regarding Marcus Whitman his efforts in the Oregon Country and the massacre orally related to her by Gray needed to have been checked more carefully.

ref. AQ27989vs.: vs. 1820-40s An archive comprised of sixty-eight loose articles of late Georgian and early Victorian manuscript and printed ephemera relating to the purchase of alcohol including a number of bill-heads for merchants in inter alia Glasgow and London. The majority of the manuscript material - predominantly receipts and purchase orders - are addressed to Nottingham-based wine merchant Thomas Bailey 1785-1856 father of poet Philip James Bailey 1816-1902 noted author of Festus 1839. The elder Bailet who established his business in 1817 relinquished control in the 1830s in order to devote himself more fully to his roles as newspaper editor and author. The later material in this archive dating to the 1840s is addressed to Bailey's son-in-law and successor John Brown. A remarkable opportunity to acquire an archive of mid-nineteenth century commercial material directly connected to the provincial wine and spirit trade. . [vs.], [1820-40s] unknown
ref. 21657Very Good. Unrecorded Early Depression-Era Civic Profile A scarce and sophisticated early Depression-era civic profile presenting Winter Park as a refined residential and 'winter resort' community. Eschewing the typical high-octane Florida 'land boom' style this booklet promotes a vision of civic stability and New England-inspired charm. It highlights the city's architectural and social infrastructure from 'A City of Beautiful Homes' and its iconic winter hotels-The Seminole The Alabama and The Virginia Inn-to the modern amenities of artesian wells and lake breezes. The narrative balances Rollins College and the local school system with a robust sporting life including archery rowing on Lake Maitland and the local baseball club's recent pennant victories. It serves as a primary visual record of a 'strictly modern city' maintaining its cultural cultivation at the onset of the 1930s. KEY FEATURES Rarity: No institutional holdings located in OCLC/WorldCat at the time of cataloging; a potentially unrecorded survival of Central Florida boosterism. Civic Architecture: Extensive imagery and text regarding major winter hotels and Spanish-style apartment residences such as El Cortez and The Lincoln. Lifestyle & Recreation: Documents a broad spectrum of 1930s leisure including shuffleboard public playgrounds and outdoor February entertainment. Historical Data: Utilizes the 1930 Federal Census population as 'recent' data; confirms the 1931-1932 printing window. Sports Note: Briefly mentions the Winter Park Baseball Club as Lake-Orange League pennant winners 1929 and state semi-pro champions 1929-1930. Specs: n.p. c. 1931-1932. First Edition. Octavo. Stapled Pictorial Wraps; 7½ x 9¼ inches; 24 pages. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs several full-page. CONDITION: Very Good. The bindings are tight and square. The pictorial wraps show moderate shelf handling wear consistent with an ephemeral publication of this age. Internally clean with light even age-toning. A solid and uncommon example of Central Florida promotional literature. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- This booklet documents Winter Park's unique identity as the 'New England of the South' during a pivotal economic transition. By focusing on civic permanence and climate advantages rather than speculative growth it reflects the marketing strategy of Central Florida at the start of the Depression. The inclusion of the 'Big Three' hotels and the town's athletic achievements provides a comprehensive snapshot of a community that viewed itself as climatically and culturally superior to the more transient coastal resorts.
