Illustrated with a manuscript plan of the 1899 camp and a map accomplished in red ink and pencil for the 1901 hunt. 174 pp. as described serially in manuscript in an Excelsior Diary ignoring the printed dates approximately 10000 words. 1 vols. Narrow agenda 12mo. An excellent series of accounts of seven three-week deer hunts in Canada late October to mid-November 1897-1902 with names of the members of the hunting parties and a table by hunter of the game bag. Livermore a resident of Newark Valley New York travelled to Canada each year with a group of friends to hunt deer at a camp near Uffington Ontario; his diaries 20-40 pages for each hunt provide a brief account for each day's activities without much of a narrative thread mostly devoted to the hunting with notes on deer seen shot at and bagged. Also included are extensive notes on transportation to and from the camp other wildlife encountered on the hunt anecdotes e.g. a hound returning to camp with a nose full of porcupine quills some expense accounting and camp life. Livermore and his ten or so comrades most of whom hailed from Ottawa or Toronto bagged an average of 20 deer a year over the six hunts with a high of 30 in 1899 and 1900 the kill including bucks does and fawns rather indiscriminately. From the 1897 trip: "A.E. Bradstreet shot a fine doe 2-year old in narrows from upper pine near Burnt lake. Called for me to dress it. 1898: "I went with Mr. Miller North East of camp to a new watch & shot the first deer of the season at 8:30 & a fawn on same morning about 9:30." 1899: "Paddy Regan killed a very large buck yesterday in Rat lake weighed 240 pounds." 1900: "Weather very warm went bathing in lake today. Had plenty of fresh fish from lake perch bull heads chubs also some trout." 1901: "F. Smith shot a fine 5 i.e. 10 pt. buck at head of Jean Lake." 1902: "I went to pt. between watches on Jean Lake North side at 8:30 just landed I see a small Buck fawn 'fine one' crossing outlet of Jean went after him & made a finish at first watch on Stoney Creek." Though lacking a narrative thread this is a revealing manuscript giving the day to day details from a series of deer hunting trips to Canada at the turn of the 20th century. The first 60 days of the diary have entries in real time mostly devoted to Livernore's day job as a clerk in a shoe store and for example an 1892 visit to New York City; the manuscript is quite legible and very good throughout. unknown books

Housed in a custom clamshell box. $15000.Scarce first edition of this early allegorical promotion of settlements in Newfoundland ""one of the earliest contributions to English literature from AmericaÓ Baer.""Deeply concerned about the poor economic conditions prevailing in Wales"" William Vaughan ""became interested in overseas colonization as a means for improving the lot of his countrymen. As a result he decided to try to plant a colony in Newfoundland largely because it was easily accessible and also because it possessed an established fishery. In 1616 he purchased from the Newfoundland Company the part of the Avalon Peninsula to the south of a line from Caplin Bay across to Placentia Bay and decided to name the colony 'New Cambriol.' In the following year Vaughan set out a few ill-prepared colonists to the harbour of Aquaforte where they spent the winter huddled in cabins built by migratory fishermen for summer use. In 1618 Vaughan hired Richard Whitbourne to bring colonists and provisions to the settlement and appointed him governorÉmoving it to a better location at RenewsÉ but in the end only six colonists spent the winter of 1619 at Renews and the settlement was abandoned in the following yearÉ Vaughan did his best to promote Newfoundland settlement by publication of his somewhat fanciful book The Golden Fleece"" Howgego. ""The work is one of the earliest contributions to English literature from America and was intended to advertise Vaughan's colony. It is a queer fantasy in prose and verse in which a succession of historical characters present complaints against the evils of the age in the court of Apollo and finally find the Golden Fleece in Newfoundland"" Baer. ""Vaughan's treatise was divided into three parts the first concerned with religion the second with the 'Vices and Decayes of the Kingdome' and the third with 'wayes to get wealth and to restore Trading. The third part focused on colonizationÉ he created a unique text by bringing into this dialogue the central figures of contemporary Jacobean and Elizabethan colonization including John Guy Captain John Mason Richard Whitbourne Francis Drake and Martin Frobisher"" McDiarmid & Collinson. The Golden Fleece is an extraordinary work in vivid contrast to the more prosaic and practical propagandist tracts on Newfoundland which Whitbourne and Mason had written. Its purpose was simple enough: Vaughan was anxious to promote the island as a place for settlement. Success he believed would relieve overpopulation at home treble England's present income from the fishery which he estimated to be 20000 pounds and generally increase tradeÉVaughan provided us with some of the earliest English literature on North America"" Gillian Cell.
