1950réf. 56567Seattle WA: Captain Olaf H. Hansen ca. 1950. 4to. 11 leaves typescript manuscript w/ ink manuscript annotations on verso of last leaf a couple corrections. Light gray limp cover split-pin binder manuscript cover title rounded corners minor shelfwear rubbing still VG exemplar from the library of Captain Olaf Hansen 1877-1959 Danish-American sea captain from Seattle WA w/ bookplate on verso of front cover. A remarkable typescript manuscript detailing Captain Hansen’s experiences with Henry Carlton Strong 1869-1954 who not only was Ketchikan’s postmaster but also owned the Clark & Martin fish-saltery located at the mouth of Ketchikan creek. Hansen was recruited as an 18 year old to work on the steamer Alert a whiskey runner for smuggling from Port Simpson to Juneau when Alaska was still a dry Territory in order to secure the mail delivery contract. The Captain “was a part Negro and his name was Watson and was the only one available who had a second class pilot license for the Ketchikan District. . . as we had the mail contract on account of her speed.” He goes on later after picking up mail sacks that “our first stop was at Grindall where Thomlinson and Syare were located. They had a store. . . on the wall . . . I saw the lithographed map which was used in New York to make the suckers to buy stock in their mining company and it showed a fine big harbor with seven men of wars anchored in it and lots of room to spare.” Hansen jumps ship and heads back to Seattle and then down the West Coast while Strong would continue to establish and expand the Northland Steamship Company.

1910réf. 8119C1910. Hadley/Alaska. around 1910-1920. Three different formats. Thirteen photographs. Original photographs black-white. Mostly full-page format without a framing. With commentaries at the back sides Swedish Language. Photographs with some minor crinkles at corners and little rubbing. Partly a bit faded at the edges but mostly still with good contrasts. Paper is a bit bent. Appropriate to its age and origin still in good condition. The thirteen photographs include different views on the former copper smelting town Hadley at the Prince of Wales Island Alaska US. In Hadley once the mined copper ores have been melted and processed later the extracted copper was shipped to other places. The photographs exist in three different formats: a small one ca. 164 x 215 cm a middle size ca. 191 x 241 cm and a bigger format ca. 20 x 252 cm. The black-white photographs still own their contrast although a few of them are fading a little bit at the edges. The thirteen photographs give us very different perspectives on this historical place: smelter buildings seen from the near and distanced overviews from a ship. Detailled views on the pier with rails on a building in construction in snow on a ship at the pier and on a cleared piece of land probably for new buildings. One photograph is even showing one of the ships for travelling called "Marion". A main overview owns a small stamp and note at the front: "Alaska Smelting & Refining Co. / General View Smelter Buildings". Most of the photographs own commentaries on the back sides in swedish language. Some with two or three lines a few with ten lines of text Please see the given fotografic examples. The photographs very probably have been made by a swedish engineer working at Hadley. There has been copper mining and extracting in Sweden long before Alaska became a part of the US. One photograph shows two little girls with blond hair staying in the wood. It seems to be a family portrait maybe they have been the daughters of this swedish man. There is also an envelope newer one by Svenska Handelsbanken with the handwritten swedish title: "Fotografier fran Hadley Alaska". Very rare historical material from Alaska in the first two decades of the 20th century! =================== LIEBE KUNDEN ICH MACHE MEINE DIESJÄHRIGE HERBSTAKTION MIT 30% AUF DEN GESAMTEN BESTAND.

1929réf. 52116Los Angeles: Press of Schwabacher-Frey Company 1929. 1929. First edition. 11 1/4" x 8 1/2" in simulated leather and embossed pictorial boards with color vignette of Big Bear Valley stamped on front cover and with gilt lettering and woodcraft borders.

Color illustrated calendar dial with borders on final leaf preserving the original glassine flyleaves. A beautifully produced brochure detailing the amenities for both members and investors in the Peter Pan Woodland Club. Harry Kiener formed the Big Bear Land & Water Company to develop mountain properties in the east valley area of Big Bear City in 1925. In 1927 he contracted with Los Angles truck-body builder Guy Maltby to build a wooden power boat to be used on Big Bear Lake. While delivering the boat Maltby became fascinated with the project and formed the Bear Valley Milling and Lumber Company to build the Peter Pan Lodge along with over 600 surrounding homes in Big Bear City. This lodge was massive with five stories and included a golf course landscaping tennis courts swimming pool movie theater and for nearly two decades was used for parties dances and even Hollywood films. Sadly it burned to the ground on June 18 1948 and even though the smaller Peter Pan Lodge building was moved to the site it never recaptured the spirit and elegance of the original resort. Light soiling to bottom corners of pages along with faint tears to upper fore-edge of free front end paper and with slight creasing and with faint pencil annotations on front pastedown. Very good.
