Original albumen photograph 16x21cm affixed to card mount 23.5x28cm printed caption at bottom edge of mount. Mount toned and lightly warped else Very Good the image well fixed. Group shot of a party of twenty-three men emerging from the Bonanza Mines with their oil lamps. The party consisted of members of a delegation of Frenchmen who toured the United States in 1881 to mark the centennial of the battle of Yorktown VA the French and American armies having played a pivotal role in the siege against the British forces. A contemporary newspaper article from November 1881 noted that the French delegation had disbanded but that a smaller party of its members still intended to travel west "to study American life and manners on the frontiers of civilization." Presumably these men are from that party photographed by the young local photographer John S. Noe who died eight years later aged forty-four of dropsy. John S. Noe unknown books

1796ref. 000618NEW YORK. Fair with no dust jacket. 1796. Non-Book. On offer is a post-revolutionary 1796 operational ledger sheet of the prominent Dutchess County Amenia New York family of Captain Noah Wheeler. The ledger sheet details exactly how a post-Revolutionary farm family managed their wheat their assets debts and the passing of the torch from a veteran father to his adolescent sons. This ledger sheet was kept by Captain Noah Wheeler 1743-1823 and two of his sons. Capt. Wheeler was a descendant of the prominent Wheeler family of New York State. He was a member of the 6th Regiment Charlotte Precinct Dutchess County Militia. Detailed BIO NOTES can be found at the end of this listing. In 1796 Capt. Wheeler then in his early 50s was working in wheat production alongside his 15- and 18-year-old sons Thomas Newcomb 1773-1844 and Anthony 1771-1840. In autumn of that year they were producing wheat and kept this balance sheet to track details of their sowing and production external sales internal consumption financial balances and debts. The sheet also includes details such as who purchased the wheat what is owed to each of the three Wheelers or how much they owed. On the verso is written Account of Wheat in 1796 of Noah Wheeler Anthony & Thomas N his sons. The title is written in the same hand as that of the balance sheet itself. This document provides surprisingly deep insight into the daily lives of the patriarch and young men of a rural pioneering American family and gives a glimpse into the work a father did to prepare his sons to take over the family business as they became men. Condition: Large ledger sheet measuring approximately 13.5x7.75. It has been folded and there is age toning some light stains and splitting along fold lines consistent with its age and use. It is entirely legible and written in ink. Overall Fair. BIO NOTES: Noah Wheeler was born in Connecticut to Captain Thomas Wheeler 1715-1754 and Eunice Gates 1718-1787.
