1933 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT RELIC OF DEPRESSION ERA TENNESSEE AND A SADLY TYPICAL LOOK AT THE LIFE AND TIMES AND RACE RELATIONS OF THE DAY

1933réf. 0001509SPRINGFIELD BARREN PLAINS TENNESSEE. Good. 1933. On offer is a very interesting manuscript diary handwritten by Florence E. Hughes who lived in or near Springfield Tennessee in 1933. We believe Florence was an African American woman though this is not stated categorically in the book there seems little doubt given the clues some activities etc. Florence was born on July 4th 1867. She married Walter S. Hughes in 1890 and had three children with rather interesting names; Golden R. Pearl M. and Jewel A. She talks of "traveling" to Springfield and living closer to Barren Plains which she writes about it as if it were home. Prolific but rather illiterate Florence details life and quite a few deaths from the area talks of barn dances tobacco growing shows coming into town a "Negro" trial that was held on their front lawn and much more for a full diary. Her husband was a blacksmith by trade and Florence designed several gravestones for her family and some local folks providing a very broad knowledge base of doings in the town. Here are some snippets: 1933 "January 1st Mary Olive Highsmith Jones will have her funeral at the Baptist Church here today. She died at her home in Murfreesboro Tenn. on Friday and brought here to her mother and father's Mr. and Mrs. P.M. Highsmith on Saturday and kept her there until today. Buried her in Springfield. A large crowd attended church. I was sick in bed and could not go so I was so sorry. Great deal of sickness here this winter." "January 3rd I am up today but not well.

Photo Album: Nurse's Album and Vacation

1951réf. 4205811951. Softcover. Near Fine. Quarto measuring 10" x 11". Spiral bound green leatherette album with "photographs" stamped in white on the front cover. Contains 149 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 1" x 1" and 10" x 16" with captions. Detached but present front cover thus very good with near fine photographs. A photo album kept by a Wisconsin nurse Florence Jacksi beginning in 1949. Early pages show Florence on a trip to Washington D.C. for a Safety Patrol trip where she was the nurse on duty. One photo is captioned "100 men and a girl." Newspaper clippings from before the trip show her examining boys to see if they were healthy enough for the trip. A large portion of the middle of the album is from a road trip Florence and her friend Suzy went on in September of 1949. These photos are well captioned with long journal style entries written about each stop on their trip. It begins "Suzy and I off to the great Northwoods - for vacation - relaxation - and no routine and to view the beautiful vistas this time of the year - and not least - to see my relatives." Florence discusses the women's travels in detail including car conversations and various stops along the way. Many of the entries are humorous and talk about her terrible directional skills getting lost and "needing new glasses." After struggling with her luggage at a hotel she writes "we are surely 2 women who were not designed by nature for a suitcase existence." They spent their travels visiting the Great Lakes region forests and fishing areas of the North Woods. The trip portion of the album ends with a section of expenses which reads "expenses -hardly" and lists travel budgets for the journey. The album ends with a collection of family photographs from the late 1940s and early 1950s which include Christmas cards portraits and candids. Florence is seen working in the hospital at parties and on trips with friends. A nice collection of photographs detailing a woman's life and career in Wisconsin in the late 1940s with detailed captions. unknown

Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London." Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good. Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown
