1850réf. BK0017Sacramento City California 1850. Autograph letter signed "Sam'l Locke" to his wife in Belfast Maine. 6 pp. Stampless folded letter with clear circular "SACRAMENTO CITY / CAL." postmark and "40" rate handstamp; manuscript notation recording receipt in Maine on December 19 1850. Light soiling; very good. A bleak California Gold Rush letter written during the 1850 Sacramento cholera epidemic by Samuel Locke a Maine emigrant suffering from prolonged fever and unable to regain his strength. Surrounded by sickness failed mining ventures violent crime and men too poor or ill to return home Locke plans to seek recovery in the Sandwich Islands while relying upon his religious faith for consolation. Locke had been ill since August and was now so weak that ordinary work exhausted him: "My limbs or legs are very weak short breath and no appetite at all. I have no desire to eat anything not one thing I can think of. I have no strength to go into any business or to do any. I do a few little chores round or about the store occasionally but to sweep the store it beats me all out . O how I long to get out of this place. Can't get any strength don't know as I can anywhere but I long to try." Friends advised him to spend the winter in the Sandwich Islands. He expected to travel first to San Francisco and then make the fifteen- to twenty-day passage to Hawaii though he feared that continued illness might leave him unable either to support himself there or return to Maine. He states that he will "trust in providence yes trust in God who I feel is my only refuge". Locke gives a grim account of California's climate and the spread of cholera through Sacramento claiming that the climate in California prevented the sick from recovering their strength as the "air is very light & bad middle of the day very hot and nights very cool." The previous week's report had stated forty dead but "nothing near all the cases were reported" with Locke himself knowing of several unreported cases personally. A local blacksmith died overnight after his companions borrowed Locke's syringe and "We can hardly see a healthy looking individual in the streets." The letter also records the uncertain fortunes of men from Locke's home region scattered through the mines. William Beckett and his partners had spent the summer constructing a mining dam had struck gold on the first day and then immediately "the dam was washed away so they lost all their summer's labor." Other acquaintances had moved to Kelsey's Bar the southern mines or Oregon or were preparing to return east by way of Panama. Some remained convinced that California would reward perseverance while others had "seen enough" after accomplishing nothing. Locke regarded success as largely accidental: "Thousands are here and in the mines who want to get home and cannot-not able to do seamen's duty and no money to pay but they have got to stay in the mines and do the best they can. Some it is true have been lucky. It is all luck. If they happen to hit a good place they do well." News that cholera had entered the mining districts increased his alarm. Locke feared especially for men living in tents as the rainy season approached with poor food and little protection from exposure. Sacramento itself was marked by nightly violence: "There are murders or robberies about every night. One man killed in front of our house a few nights ago. We heard him holler and heard the blows. Next morning he died. His head was dreadfully mangled." Locke closes with an emotional message to his wife and children. His health finances and prospects all appeared uncertain and he repeatedly asked his family and church to pray for him: "Tell the dear Children to be good and if they never see me again when I am gone they will have the satisfaction . of knowing they acted as thy Father requested . Pray for me ask the Church to pray for me indeed I know I have your prayers and you have mine often." A particularly bleak account of the human cost of the California Gold Rush documenting epidemic disease physical collapse failed mining schemes violent crime religious faith and the predicament of emigrants unable to escape California after their health and resources were exhausted. . unknown books

1845réf. List2966Kennebunk Maine 1845. Two 7 ½ x 9 ¾ inch pages. Near fine. A letter from Barnabas Palmer in Kennebunk to Charles G. Bellamy Esquire in Kittery. Bellamy 1811–1892/1899 was a captain in the Maine militia a member of the Maine House of Representatives 1842–3 and State Senate 1846–7 York County Sheriff and then Inspector of Timber at the Navy Yard in Portsmouth.1 Palmer 1791–1867 may have been military; he appears in Maine state records as an agent for the Kennebunk Gun House which is listed in other records as under the purview of the Quartermaster General. Palmer gives Bellamy his opinion on the political prospects of “Pierce” versus “Hammond” commenting: “I did not hear of any legislative recommendation of Hammond while I was at Augusta and if there was and their late abolition speeches & Texan resolutions is a specimen of the support they intend to give Mr Polk it should not have much effect.” The US under President Polk had not yet annexed Texas and Palmer is apparently underwhelmed by Maine’s support for the cause. He also remarks on Joshua Herrick’s 1793–1874 bid for re-nomination to Congress; though he feels that he had “been badly treated” by Herrick’s competition “Judge Hayes” Palmer nonetheless feels compelled to vote for Hayes over Herrick. Of interests to historians of Maine state politics. 1 John E. Frost Colonial Village Gundalow Club: 1948 28. unknown books

1828réf. BK0113Beverly Massachusetts 1828. Autograph letter signed 3 pp. measuring 8 x 9 ½ inches addressed to Charles Coffin Esq. Buxton Maine. Stampless folded letter with manuscript "Beverly Ms Nov 26" postmark and "18¾" rate. Separation reinforced with archival tape due to brittle paper; otherwise very good. A research letter from jurist and statesman Nathan Dane to Maine antiquarian Charles Coffin concerning the seven Narragansett townships granted to veterans and descendants of veterans of King Philip's War. Dane reports an effort to trace Narragansett No. 1 incorporated as Buxton in 1772 and discusses the difficulty created when the original grants acquired new names in proprietary and governmental records: "I have examined the doings of the legislature of Massachusetts as far as I have them for more than a century past. I find the name Narragansett No. 1 &c. mentioned but three times once in the year 1760 when in erecting the counties of Cumberland and Lincoln in describing the boundaries of them Narragansett No. 1 is mentioned; again in 1764 it is mentioned in the act incorporating the town of Gorham; again in 1772 Narragansett No. 1 was incorporated and made a town by the name of Buxton." Dane suggests reconstructing the history of the grants through a combination of legislative records proprietary papers and the memories of "aged persons" as he "sees no other way to trace back to their origin these seven grants or proprietaries." He also provides information on Major Samuel Appleton a military officer during King Philip's War and on the early Dane family in Ipswich carefully distinguishing the surnames Dane and Dean through deeds wills and signed documents. The recipient Charles Coffin later published historical work on the Narragansett townships. A record of early nineteenth-century antiquarian method showing Dane's methodology for reconstructing the colonial history of Maine and Massachusetts. . unknown books
