1811ref. 0012294Hardin County Kentucky Elizabethville. Good with no dust jacket. 1811. Non-Book. On offer is an original 1811 manuscript documenting the financial machinery of government in early Kentucky and the involvement of some of the state's most prominent pioneers. At the center of the document is William Withers an early settler of strategically situated West Point and Hardin County sheriff from 1811 to 1812 entrusted with collecting and remitting the county's public revenues to the Commonwealth. The document records the $10000 state-revenue bond required of Withers upon becoming sheriff of Hardin County in 1811. Acknowledged in court on January 14 1811 Withers and his seven sureties all exceptionally prominent early settlers jointly guaranteed that he or his deputy would properly collect account for and remit every tax interest payment and other sum owed to the Commonwealth during the year. Before professional bonding companies and centralized tax departments Kentucky's county sheriffs personally collected the taxes and other public money owed to the Commonwealth. To protect the state against loss a sheriff was required to enter into a substantial bond supported by financially responsible local sureties. The sureties form a remarkable cross-section of early Kentucky's frontier governing class. They include: Benjamin Helm former sheriff and county clerk James Crutcher Merchant judge and legislator Samuel Stevenson Legislator Christopher Miller and Adam Miller brothers from a prominent pioneer family with Christopher a noted frontier scout who later served as magistrate legislator and sheriffDaniel Waide Elizabethtown innkeeper postmaster academy trustee and future state senator Christopher Bush father of Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln Note: At the date of the bond Sarah was still married to Daniel Johnston; eight years later she married Thomas Lincoln and became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother. Biographical sketches of the sureties plus William Withers himself can be found at the conclusion of the listing. The document captures state administrative processes and the personal stakes of accepting prominent roles and responsibility in early 19th century America. These men were not merely endorsing Withers's appointment but pledging their own estates to secure his handling of Kentucky's public money. An excerpt from the document reads: "We bind our selves our heirs Executors and administrators Jointly & Severally firmly by these presents. "The recto is a contemporary clerk's manuscript copy of the bond including six of the subscription names and written indications " Seal " rather than six individual autograph signatures. The verso however bears the names Christopher Miller and Daniel Waide. The hands seem different than that of the recto so it is possible that the names on the verso are signatures of Miller and Waide though this is unconfirmed. The docket reads: William WithersTo Shffs BondCommonwealth1811 January CourtackdCopiedThe docket records the bond's acknowledgment in the January 1811 court and its entry into the official county records. Rather than an isolated financial instrument the manuscript preserves both the administrative process and the personal network through which public revenue was secured in frontier Kentucky. Biographical Notes of Men Named in the BondWilliam WithersWilliam Withers was Hardin County sheriff from 1811 through 1812 and was responsible for collecting and remitting the county's public revenues. He belonged to the early West Point settlement at the confluence of the Ohio and Salt rivers. By 1800 two of his daughters had married Robert Bleakley and William Montgomery Irish-born merchants who opened an Elizabethtown dry-goods store. Withers was thus connected by family to the commercial community whose members helped guarantee his bond. Benjamin HelmBenjamin Helm was one of early Elizabethtown's principal administrators. He qualified as Hardin County's first surveyor in 1793 became an original town trustee served as sheriff in 1807 and was county clerk from about 1800 until 1817. He erected Elizabethtown's first brick house riding ninety miles to Lexington for its wrought nails and later became the first president of the town's independent bank. His clerk's office recorded this bond although a deputy may have prepared the copy. James CrutcherJames Crutcher was a prominent merchant cattle dealer tavern proprietor judge and legislator. Appointed one of Elizabethtown's original trustees in 1796 he built a tavern beside the public square in 1798 and marked it with a sign bearing a lion rampant—the establishment later operated by Daniel Waide. Crutcher also served with Helm and Waide as a Hardin Academy trustee. Six weeks after this bond Daniel and Sarah Bush Johnston conveyed a 730-acre tract to him. Samuel StevensonSamuel Stevenson—also recorded as Stephenson—became the first teacher of Hardin Academy when its schoolhouse opened in 1806. The academy served an Elizabethtown community of only about 300 people emphasizing how prominent its teacher would have been locally. Stevenson subsequently became a tavernkeeper merchant and Kentucky legislator. In 1812 he again acted as a financial guarantor joining John Canady as surety on William Vittitow's $1000 constable's bond. Christopher BushChristopher Bush belonged to the Bush family identified among the early settlers of Severns Valley by 1782. A landowner and Hardin County constable he was remembered by Haycraft as an industrious man with a large family. His daughter Sarah Bush Johnston was then married to Daniel Johnston; in 1819 she married Thomas Lincoln and became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother. Her February 1811 land transaction with James Crutcher directly connects the Bush family with another surety named in the bond. Adam MillerAdam Miller belonged to a pioneer family recorded among the Severns Valley settlers by 1782. He was a son of German-born settler Ernest Miller and a brother of Nicholas and fellow obligor Christopher Miller. According to Haycraft Adam was captured in his youth and remained within an Indigenous community for approximately fourteen years. Unlike his politically prominent brothers he apparently held no major public office and was remembered instead as a quiet respected man and church member. Christopher MillerCaptured by Shawnees as a youth Christopher Miller lived among them for years and became fluent in their languages and customs. His knowledge later made him valuable to General Anthony Wayne as a messenger and scout and in 1796 he accompanied a delegation of Indigenous leaders to Philadelphia. In 1819 the Kentucky legislature petitioned Congress to compensate Miller for this service noting that he was then poor and supporting a large family. He later became a legislator magistrate and Hardin County sheriff. Daniel WaideDaniel Waide was an Elizabethtown innkeeper Hardin Academy trustee and postmaster. He operated the "Sign of the Lion" tavern built by James Crutcher in 1798 and helped develop the property into the later Eagle House. He served on the academy board with Crutcher and Benjamin Helm while postal records identify him as Elizabethtown postmaster beginning January 1 1811 thirteen days before this bond. Waide later entered the Kentucky Senate; tax rolls also record him as an enslaver. SourcesBrown Stephen A. "A Conversation with Abraham Lincoln. " Kentucky Humanities Fall 2013 pp. 6–9.

1870ref. 0008029Fort Edward New York. Fair. 1870. On offer is an absolutely fascinating scrapbook that belonged to Jahu DeWitt Miller. Dated 1876 it was put together when Miller was 19 and working as a lecturer and teacher at the Fort Edward Institute in upstate New York. The book measures 7 inches by 5 and 3/4 inches. The binding on the book is broken and the pages are loose. However they are intact and contain a veritable goldmine of notes jotting etc. There are an estimated 100 pages and of these and estimated 80% are complete. Miller began his studies at age 14 at the Fort Edward Institute - a collegiate or seminary as they were known in those days. After graduating he began to teach there. He also acted as Librarian for the Seminary and was on record as a voracious reader. At the same time he began to preach at various Methodist churches in the area. He was attracted to journalism and wrote extensively. He also began a book collection that grew to a very significant size. He lectured widely across the United States for many years. In 1901 he donated his extensive rare book collection to National Park Seminary located at the time on the edge of Washington DC. Over the years NPS has changed hands several times until 1942 when it was expropriated by the US Army as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers. Today it is part of the Walter Reed Medical Center complex. Miller died of a heart attack in Boise ID in 1911. The scrapbook is chock full of notes letter cards and jottings. On many the ink has faded. Notes are stuck in willy-nilly: "Artman looks as tho he were an old bummer See his nose" ". Miller - Butler has prepared an article which she intends to deliver this morning the same going very strongly against you." On May 6th 1873 he published a printed statement of defense challenging unnamed critics of statement and articles he has written. On Institute letterhead he has received a letter addressed to himself requesting a loan of $300 from a MF Chichester. On Dec 6th 1872 he received a letter from the Office of the College Courant: "Dear Doctor - I draw to you this line as a matter of friendship. Chatfield is just on the point of failure and will probably make an assignment next week. Concerning that you have a claim against him the sooner you get it into the lawyers hands the better. I send you the name of a good one EP Arvine Church Street opposite Post Office. The sheriff is dropping in every day making attachments which are being for. The future of the Courant is doubtful; but it will probably not die. Prof Barker of Yale talks of taking it in which case I shall probably retain my connection with it. Another though just occurred to me that perhaps you could get the account of your bill more readily by ordering some of Chatfields publications Sincerely Yours RW Keufshall. There are cards referring to The Senate Society possibly one of the many debating societies extant that to which he belonged. And so the scrapbook goes. It is a veritable goldmine for a historian or researcher exploring the life and experiences of this noted American literary figure. For a social historian it is a superb window into the life of someone who travelled extensively in the literary circles of his day.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1870S JAHU DEWITT MILLER FORT EDWARD INSTITUTE NATIONAL PARK SEMINARY NATIONAL PARK SERVICES UPSTATE NEW YORK JOHN CASSEDY VESTA CASSEDY DR.

1886ref. 0001060COUR D'LENE IDAHO JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA. Very Good. 1886. On offer is a sensational archive of 18 multi page letters most handwritten and some typescript from Jim Miller to his mother and sister. Mr. Miller was a senior gold and silver miner who had worked in the western United States and in Africa mostly. The letters some on company letterhead date from 1886 to 1908 and each are several pages long and diary-like having great content. Mr. Miller is an intelligent and charismatic writer detailing his work and adventures and the archive is especially rich regarding his times working for one of the largest mining operations in Southern Africa during the Boer War. He has many many striking insights observations and comments regarding the conflict. Here are some snippets: "I started out in the summer on a prospecting trip got so far into the mountains that I didn't know where I was went all by guess had no idea where I would come out and cared less. Came out finally at Lewistown on the line of Washington and Idaho Territory after traveling about five hundred miles over the toughest part of the territory. Had no particular place to go so I came to the Cour D'lene to seek my fortune. The town of Wardner is less than a year old and has over one thousand inhabitants and still increasing. The biggest mines that have ever been found in Idaho are supposed to be those that worked in and around Wardner. This country is well represented by Black Hillers the town is named after one of them. It is safe to say that one half of the people in the Cour D'lene country are from the hills. The first one that I have met since I left the hills was in Wardner. This is about like all other mining camps the principle business places are saloons and gambling halls with a few stores. The English papers would lead one to believe that British and Boer have shook hands and agree to be friends that day will never come. When the Boer prisoner returns to his farm and finds only the remains of his house what was once his happy home it will take years and years if ever they do forget the useless destruction of their homes. He is going to invite you to spend the summer with them and they would take a trip through the national park. I would like to have you go and I will pay all expenses. It will be your first chance to visit the western country and maybe George might invite you to stop at Denver the only city in the west. Labour troubles both white and black strikes are the order of the day. If it was not for the Martial law one would not know that the country was in a state of war although there are plenty of columns moving about this district about all they seem to do is travel back and forth over the same road. It is reported that all the Boer leaders are being wined and dined by the British at various centers entertained at the expense of the British taxpayer. Rumor there is a possibility of a general surrender under the terms offered anxious for peace before the coronation. This is a much larger mine then I was on in the states. It is now the third largest gold producing mine in Africa provided we get sufficient native labour it will be the largest Gold Producing Mine in the world we employ 500 white men and 3000 native. When the reports of the San Francisco disaster reached Johannesburg there were many anxious people waiting telegrams from Fathers Mothers Sisters or Brothers who were living in or near the city. I know the part that was destroyed really better than I know Joliet. Have been in Spokane four weeks trying to settle up some business. The Superintendent at the mines is more despised than Cleveland and he is considered the meanest man in the United States. The Sup has to have a body guard. I intend to start for Lewiston Idaho tomorrow expect will have a time getting there as the streams are rising very fast. The snow has been very heavy in the mountains this winter. We started to unwater the mine pumping and hauling at the rate of one million gallans per 24 hours I am unable to say how long it will take. Had a breakdown in one of the shafts and it took weeks to repair it. During that time kept the mill running from one shaft. That was the most trying time I have ever had on a mine. Can buy a woman in this country for 200 dollars in Mexican money good able bodied one quite capable of doing a mans work. While waiting at Elk City for supplies I received work from Mr Clement offering me a good position in Africa. The principle topic of the day is the unsettled question of the importation of unskilled labour there is one thing certain they can not work this country without plenty of cheap unskilled labour. The mining industry of this country is only in its infancy. It is impossible to get sufficient native labour for the natives will not work. Not being able to get up to the mines has been a great disappointment. One consolation there are thousands of others in the same fix. The less the british people say about this war the more they will shine for they have nothing to be proud of. They have been the laughing stock of the world. It seems the British Army are like their women give them time and they will finish it. There have been several instances where the Boers have surrounded and captured parties of British while the officers were enjoying a dance. Of course that is not allowed to be made public. Those in the field know everything is lost and they will continue the guerilla war as long as they know their families are well provided for the by the British. Some of the preachers who are encouraging them were taken out and shot as they have done with some Boers who went on commando again after being released. Everyone outside of military are thoroughly sick and disgusted with the whole business." Included with the archive of letter is a small account book kept by his sister in the early 1900s and a cabinet card of Mr. Miller.
