1899ref. 423702Port Chester New York / North Dakota 1899. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 21 letters from 1890 through 1899 pertaining to pioneer land debt in North Dakota. Near fine with small tears and some age toning most in envelopes. A collection of letters to Richard Carpenter of Port Chester New York. Carpenter was financing land purchases for new settlers in Lisbon Wisner and La Moure in North Dakota. He would receive a share of the crop until the land was paid off. However most farmers who bought the land were unable to afford paying the money back as the soil was much denser and the weather much colder than many of the southern farming communities. One letter is written on the back of a full page lithographic broadside map of Wisner and pleads with Carpenter to take $200 away from the mortgage that still needs to be paid on the land. Most of the letters are complaints about payments and raising crops "The crop failure and low price for 93 gives this country a bad black eye and paralyzes all lines of trade and the earliest remedy is a bountiful 94" and "I have seen the men from Dakota and the account they give of the country is very discouraging everyone wants to sell and no one wants to buy". Many of the letters are written from J. E. Wisner who arrived in 1880. Wisner had built a flour mill laid out a town site promoted a stillborn railroad and invented a farm implement that made him a wealthy man for his time. His letters are more often strictly letters of payment being sent to Carpenter. The letters offer financial data from farm and land owners during this time as well as insight into the lives of farmers trying to work in unfit conditions before the 20th century. An interesting collection of letters from concerned farmers to a land owner in New York 1890 through to 1899. unknown

Oblong atlas folio. 21.5 x 9 in. 43 leaves unnumbered. on thick black paper stock.

Contemporary Spruce plywood post-binder covers same as wood used for spars and biplane bodies in World War I rounded corners piano hinge front joint gilt decorative lettering & logo on front cover minor scuffing shelfwear still VG exemplar. This outstanding souvenir album depicts the height of the vital Naval Aviation Training School which provided essential technical expertise and training to entire generations of Naval Aviators and Naval aviation mechanics and carpenters through World War I and beyond. Founded originally in 1904 when a board appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt selected two farms of north of Lake Bluff IL as a training station which originally covered 172 acres. By Armistice Day at the end of World War I the facility had expanded to 1200 acres and over 45000 men underwent training. Of particular interest in this album are the 36 panoramic photographs documenting Naval Aviator and Naval Aviation mechanic classes for the 15th Regiment and 1st Battalion 15th Regiment from 1919-1920 as well as class rooms machine shops for aviation mechanics and Naval instructors. Others encompass the cutaway model Aviation engines with instructional charts on the surrounding wals the carpenter’s shop with aviation machinery jigs on work benches and airline bodies under construction. One photo depicts the Motor Laboratory Steam Laboratory and Equipment from the USS Eagle 25 at the Aviation Mechanics’ School a US Navy patrol boat which had sunk in a storm in June 1920 and then been raised and sold off as a hulk by Dec. 1921. Other panoramic photos capture the Riggers’ School classroom at Great lakes with full scale biplanes and seaplanes scale model dirigible the Coppersmith School classroom the Fittings classroom with airplane propellers hanging from the walls dip baths for machined parts and nickel plate coating and several of the Naval Aviation School football baseball and other sporting teams including the largest panorama of the Inter-Training Station Baseball championship team from Great Lakes. Wallenstein 1861-1958 was a longtime Chicago photographer through the first four decades of the 20th Century who operated his studio out of his 3928 N. Kenneth home and specialized in panoramic photographs. Western Photo Studio in Waukegan IL appears to have been short-lived as the Waukegan IL directories from 1918-1921 do not list the business but possibly connected with the Western Union Telegraph offices as the address was interchangeable. Volpe 1885-1950 began working in New York originally as a bookbinder before enlisting as an aviation mechanic with the US Navy in 1910 assigned originally to the newly formed ground school in Pensacola and later became Chief Warrant Officer Pilot Airman and Instructor who oversaw the Naval Aviation Training School from 1918-1921. He was also the assistant Athletic officer for baseball and tennis at the base. Naval Aviation Training School, L. Blakemore, Isaack Wallenstein, & Western Photo Studio (Photographers), unknown
