1928réf. 429191928. 32pp. Magazine touting Virginia produced by Norfolk & Western Railway with puff pieces on everything Virginia from the beaches in the east to the mountains and caverns in the west with photographs of hotels in every town and district. This is an advertising piece extraordinaire for the Roaring Twenties with pictures on every page. There is a fantastic track map of N&W's reach in 1928 inside the rear cover with every stop labeled in teeny-tiny print. The magazine is remarkably undamaged for 93 years old with a small chip to the lower right corner of the front cover a bit of separation to the lower 1.5" of the spinal fold that doesn't affect anything and does not really compromise the magazine's integrity. A previous owner has written "Keep" and something indecipherable on the front cover not affecting any text or graphics. They also wrote something I can't read on the first page along with "1928". 42919 . Good. Paperback. paperback

1896réf. 79679Denver: W.H. Jackson & Co. Photo 1896. Hand color-tinted photograph image: 9” x 3 ½” mount: 15” x 9 ¼”. Although Leadville was one of the largest boomtowns in Colorado the mines were in decline by the 1890s and a plan to save the community in 1895 came in the form of an ice hotel and winter carnival. After months of fundraising and then building the ice palace opened on January 1 1896. It measured 450’ long by 320’ wide with five-foot thick walls. Two octagonal towers rose 90 feet at the entrance on the north where arched doorways led visitors inside. Smaller 60-foot towers flanked the sides and the south wall. Inside there was a rink that would accommodate 1000 skaters along with two ballrooms a restaurant and a 20-foot wide promenade that led people down the middle of the place. On its first day of operation 2500 visitors came by train wagon horseback and on foot to see the gigantic wonder. For nearly four glorious months visitors paid .50 cents for adults and .25 cents per child to walk past the ice sculpture of “Lady Leadville” at the entrance and into the fantasy world of their dreams. It’s estimated there were 250000 visitors. Some edgewear and staining to the mount with a small scuff to the photograph. W.H. Jackson & Co. Photo unknown

réf. 79363Four quit-claim deeds dating from the 1880s involving women in property transfers at a time when women’s property rights were severely restricted nationwide. A deed dated September 17 1885 recorded the purchase of a lot in Aspen by Mrs. Rilla Patten who paid $150 to J.C. Dodge for lot “L” in Block 99 in the town of Aspen. The city’s population exploded from 500 to 3500 between 1883 and 1885 reflecting the rapid development driven by the silver boom. On January 5 1865 Nanum Howe Rice and Eliza A. Rice husband and wife sold a "planing mill" and all its machinery in Denver Arapahoe County Territory of Colorado for $3000 to another party. He died in 1878. The additional deeds appear to show the sale and transfer of properties within families. On July 18 1887 another deed records the sale of mining property in Clear Creek County by Catherine M. Cowles for $1000 to Frederick Nelson. According to Ancestry records Nelson married Catherine K. Cowles in 1885. Her mother Catherine M Cowles died in 1884. On December 6 1883 John Hardenburgh sold to his wife Martha B. Hardenburgh an interest in several mining claims in Pitkin County Colorado and a lot in the town of Aspen for $1000. The couple was married in 1873 and she preceded him in death. Changes in property rights laws for women paved the way for these transactions. While still a territory Colorado adopted the Married Women's Property Act in 1861 which gave married white women the right to own property otherwise given to them. Before this time under coverture an English common law system married women could not own property control their wages be part of contracts and otherwise act autonomously to their husband's authority. Further in 1872 the Colorado Territory allowed any woman while married to “execute any bond bill promissory note or other instrument in writing for the direct payment of money; and if the consideration thereof went to the benefit of her estate.” By 1900 most states allowed married white women to own property but access to credit and mortgages without a male co-signer was a barrier for all women not addressed until the 1970s. unknown
