Bound in waste vellum manuscript in French no longer easily legible. Pages thumbed and toned at edges. Interlinear corrections in text as well as tipped in overleavers with corrected text. All we know of this manuscript book derives from examination of the physical evidence. The text does not correspond to any known French verse translation of the Book of Job so it seems to be a private endeavor. The unprofessional cursive orthography accords stylistically with handwriting typical of the 19th century but the structure and materials of the binding could indicate an earlier origin. The Latin text of the Vulgate appears on the pages facing the translation. Manuscript on paper, bound. hardcover

réf. MD13Two Quarto letters ca. 11 x 8.5 in. 2 & 2 pp. Brown ink on beige wove paper with the printed letterhead of the “Office of Geo T. Conaway Town Recorder and Superintendent of Water Works.” Fold marks but overall very good letters written in a legible hand. Interesting collection of two original autograph letters by an early resident of Canon City Colorado talking about a dramatic train wreckage in Colorado Springs the lure of high wages and a recent job offer from cowboys. The author W. S. Osburn ca. 1866– arrived in Cañon City in the autumn of 1890 staying with his uncle Geo T. Conaway ca. 1846–1898 who served as town recorder superintendent of Water Works and an employee of the Ajax mines. In 1891 Osburn married Nellie Brenton and later moved to Victor where he became a successful merchant. In February 1901 his wife died in a dramatic runaway accident at the age of 33. The following month Osburn accidentally killed a friend’s four-year-old son when a gun he was handling discharged. In the letters addressed to his brother George T. Osburn the author recounts his arrival in Cañon City and shares a detailed eye-witness account of a train wreckage which destroyed a car and severely damaged a freight engine. He enthusiastically reports on the high wages in the area and carefully compares earnings for workers in Leadville Pueblo and Cañon City. He also shares an exciting offer to work as a cook for a group of cowboys weighing the opportunity while expressing his eagerness to begin working. The rest of the letter includes vivid impressions of the region’s mountain scenery and a mention of his Aunt Addie L. Conaway who would later become a successful businesswoman and boarding house owner in Colorado. Overall historically interesting collection of two original letters from a job hunter in Canon City describing his dramatic journey to Colorado Springs the appeal of high wages and a job offer from cowboys. Text of the first letter: “Dear brother I have arrived here safe and sound in the city of Canon last thursday after noon half past three o'clock. I went Uncle George's office and was in there quite a while before he came in and when he came in I said helo Uncle George and began to laugh. but he did not know me for quite a while he studied a good while be fore he could place me well George I wrote to you a bout having a reck on the road coming out here I will explain it a little better now. when we pulled in Colorado Springs thursday morning the train stoped there 20 minets for breakfas and while out train was stopping there a freight train came around the curve like double geared hell and runed in the rear end of our train and knocked hell out of our train busted one car all to peaces and busted the engin all to hell on the freight cars. it did not kill any body but bruised several up very badly. I happen to be standing on the steps when it happen just as it strucked I saw it I jumped about ten feet.Uncle George Salary is $100 hundred dollars per month write soon address: W. S.
