Alden, J. C., Pages from American Revolutionary War Orderly Books, 1775 December 15-1776 January 12. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of fourteen handwritten pages taken from one or possibly more orderly books kept by aides-de-camp to Generals Artemus Ward and George Washington during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War and the Siege of Boston. The orders contained on these leaves, written during the siege, record a variety of official internal actions taken by the nascent Continental Army and include regimental orders, general orders, notifications of troop movements, records of guard duty, as well as matters relating to discipline, training, supplies, and food. Most notably, they refer to the potential participation of free African American volunteers in military roles. Names mentioned in the orderly book pages include Colonel Read, Colonel Danielson, Major Mitchel, Colonel Alden, Lieutenant Goodwin, Jedediah Huntington, Captain Ingersoll, Major Barnes, General Horatio Gates, and numerous others, some of whom are listed as participants in courts martial proceedings. Regarding authorship, the final page is signed by J. C. (or possibly I. C.) Alden, which could refer to either Ichabod Alden or a fellow member of the Massachusetts Alden family, such as a John or Joseph C. Alden. It is also possible that another person authored some of the leaves since there are at least two different handwriting styles.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a four-page letter from William Henry Austin (1840-1914), a sergeant in the 109th New York Infantry during the American Civil War, to his sister, Ada Caroline Austin Martin (1834-1923) of Harpursville, Broome County, New York. Austin writes from Camp Briggs in Alexandria, Virginia, and describes an encounter with Lyons (Sarah Rosetta) Wakeman (1843-1864), a gender non-conforming person who is known as one of the few women to serve in the Union Army. However, Wakeman was enlisted in the 153rd New York Infantry and later buried under the name of Lyons Wakeman and often presented as a man. Austin and Wakeman were childhood friends whose families resided in neighboring villages, and thus Austin was one of the few soldiers who knew of Wakeman's enlistment story. Of his encounter with Wakeman, Austin writes, "She was looking fine. Sports an insipid moustache, highly colored, presents quite a soldier's appearance. There is something mighty queer about this arrangement. There is rottenness in Denmark somewhere (mum about this)." He also writes about other soldiers, his pay, and potential romantic interests back home.

Ball

Biographical / Historical

James Presley Ball (1825-1904) was an African American photographer, photography studio owner, and abolitionist active in the United States in the 19th century. Ball studied photography in Virginia in 1845 with John B. Bailey, an African American daguerreotypist from Boston, Massachusetts. Ball opened a studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, later that year, and though it was initially unsuccessful, he later opened successful studios in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Richmond, Virginia, and also worked as a traveling daguerreotypist. He reopened his studio in Cincinnati in 1849 and employed his younger brother Thomas Ball and brother-in-law Alexander Thomas. By 1857, their gallery was one of the most popular in the United States, attracting Frederick Douglass and other prominent figures. Ball moved to Helena, Montana in 1888 where he operated a studio with his son for several years before moving to Seattle, Washington, in 1892.

Baty, T. (Thomas), 1869-1954. Baty, T. (Thomas), 1869-1954, Letter to Alfred Duff Cooper Regarding Sino-Japanese Relations, 1937 October 1. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a five-page manuscript letter from Thomas Baty in Toyko, Japan, regarding relations between China and Japan and the Second Sino-Japanese War. The letter is addressed to "my dear Cooper," most likely referring to British Conservative Party politician Alfred Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich, who was then First Lord of the Admiralty. In the letter, Baty presents a detailed legal defense of the Japanese position concerning their actions leading up to and during the Second Sino-Japanese War, noting the attacks by the Chinese during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the Battle of Shanghai. Of note is Baty's remark, made three months prior to the Nanking Massacre, that Nanking did not yet consider themselves to be at war with Japan. Later in the letter, Baty expresses support for Francisco Franco's dictatorship over Spain and disdain for Bolshevism. The final page of the letter appears to be missing.

Baty, T.

Biographical / Historical

Thomas Baty (1869-1954) was a British jurist and expatriate, authority on international law, and writer who settled in Japan in 1916 and achieved prominence in diplomatic affairs while serving as Japan's Foreign Legal Adviser in the years between World War I and World War II. Baty's natural law philosophy was used to defend the Japanese government before the League of Nations regarding Japan's occupation of Manchuria in the early 1930s. Baty was also a gender-nonconforming person who wrote under the name Irene Clyde about topics related to gender and sexual orientation, as well as edited Urania, a privately circulated journal that opposed the "insistent differentiation" of people into a binary of two genders. Following the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II, the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered indicting Baty for treason but ultimately decided to revoke Baty's British citizenship instead. Baty died in Ichinomiya, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Bell, Lemuel G.. Bell, Lemuel G., Account Book Documenting Thompsontown, Virginia, 1846-1861. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an account book kept by Lemuel G. Bell, a merchant based in Richmond County, Virginia, who sold provisions to customers in nearby areas, many of whom were African Americans living in what appears to be a Black community called Thompsontown on the Northern Neck of Virginia in the mid-19th century.

Many people living in this community were likely formerly enslaved by or descended from the 509 people enslaved by Robert Carter III on the Nomini Hall plantation in Westmoreland County, Virginia. In 1791, Carter filed a deed gradually manumitting around 500 people over a period of twenty years, including eleven people with the surname Thompson, as well as others with surnames Allen, Cary/Carey, Dixon, Gaskins, Harris, Harrison, Henry, Johnson/Johnston, Jones, Mitchell, Newman, Reid, and Robinson, among others. This account book mentions several customers with the surname Thompson, including Moses, Mason, Harry, Haney, Betsy, and Cato Thompson, as well as others with surnames Newman, Harris, Mitchell, and Jones.

Research suggests that Thompsontown existed in an area of Warsaw, Virginia, between Thompsontown Road and Bell Farm Lane, in close proximity to locations matching other names mentioned in the account book, such as Withers Lane (Joseph Weathers), Lyells Drive (Samuel Lyells), and Haynesville (Haynes Store). According to the 1850 census, a 60-year-old Black farmer named Henry Thompson owned 275 acres of land in Richmond County, which could also be the source of the name Thompsontown.

The account book spans about 160 pages, and entries document the purchase of corn, lumber, guano, home goods, and other provisions, as well as payment of rent by boarders and tenant farmers. Some customers barter for supplies by cutting wood. Some other names documented include Thomas Burwell, James and Robert Adams, Jarret Ball, James Gallagher, Fleet Pridham, Robert G. Bluford, William D. Bell, Robert Jones, James Shackelford, William Sisson, and Richard and John Coatney.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a two-page letter from Daniel H. Chamberlain (1835-1907), then the Reconstruction-era Republican governor of South Carolina, to Robert Reed Hemphill, regarding efforts to prevent racial conflict and segregationist violence by force of arms. The letter suggests that Hemphill confer with Chamberlain and Republican legislator Jerry Hollingshead about acquiring arms for Abbeville, South Carolina. Hemphill was a Confederate Army veteran, publisher of the newspaper at Abbeville, and a Democratic state legislator, but at the time, he apparently opposed his party's white supremacist program of racist violence and voter suppression.

Manuscript on paper in Nahautl and Spanish. Tehuacán, 1624. Bookseller's description: "Soon after the completion of the conquest of Mexico, the native populations learned the importance of Spanish law and quickly learned to use it to their advantage as much as the system would allow. In this legal proceeding the Nahuatl-speaking citizens of the towns of Coculco and Tempatetetzintla seek redress via the courts for actions of a Spanish neighbor named Antonio de Padilla who lived in the neighboring area of Tehucán in Central Mexico. The man from whom Padilla purchased his land had settled a case out of court with the indigenous townspeople herein for the sum of 100 pesos and an agreement to cede some of his land to them. Padilla, however, respected neither the [indigenous peoples] nor the legal process; he continued to plant both on the ceded lands and to plant on land that the [indigenous peoples] alleged was always theirs, while deforesting some other of their land and also denying them their longheld access to water, including use of an irrigation canal that had been created by the [indigenous peoples] themselves with great difficulty. In a region with little water, water rights were extremely important. Three officials from the affected towns brought this lawsuit against Padilla in 1624. The testimony gathered by the plaintiffs, in both Spanish and Nahuatl, is presented in 18 documents (most in Spanish translation via a bilingual court official), and they convinced the contador of Tehuacán, who served as judge, to rule in favor of the [indigenous peoples]."

Major General John Sullivan (1740-1795) led the campaign with Clinton as second in command. In the letter, Clinton addresses leaders who had not aligned themselves with the British, attempting to influence their participation and suggesting that they stay on the sidelines or offer minimal assistance. He mentions the Oneida, Tuscarora, and Onandaga nations specifically, but also references the Six Nations, a British term for the Haudenosaunee, which the French referred to as the Iroquois and which also included the Mohawk, Cayuga, and Seneca nations.

Coale, William, -1842. Coale, Dr. William, Ledger of Medical Appointments in Libertytown, Maryland, 1827-1840. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a 450-page ledger kept by Dr. William Coale, a physician based in Libertytown, Maryland, who treated white residents and free and enslaved African Americans living in Libertytown and in the nearby Black community of Oldfield. Entries document Coale's work delivering babies, providing vaccinations, treating wounds and broken bones, and prescribing medicines. As the name of Coale's father, Richard Coale, appears multiple times in the ledger, it is possible that he was in a business partnership with his son and provided some of the treatment described. Many people in these communities were also Catholic.

White patients and free African American patients who received treatment from Coale are listed under their own names. Those described as "coloured men" include James Dorsey, Thomas Richardson, Richard Bowie, and Valentine Davis. The ledger also documents Coale's provision of medical treatment to enslaved people, who are listed under the names of their enslavers, including Thomas Warfield, Benjamin Buckingham, Dennis D. Howard (who enslaved Devan/Vanzey Lawson, Daniel Lawson, Samuel Lawsen, Ephraim Lawsen, Wesley Carter, Amy Anthony, Lydia Carter, Hetty Carter, and Rachel Carter), Christopher Ownings (who enslaved Thomas Edmond and eleven people with the surname Smith), Richard Broche (who enslaved Deborah), Thomas Sollers (who enslaved Solomon Costly and Tamour), and Thomas Hammond (who enslaved Isaac Bryan, Boss Hammond, Lewis Jackson, Jeremiah Davis, Dennis C. Linthicum, and Allen Fisher). Others mentioned include Basil Rait, John Penn, and Nancy Williams. There are also some loose receipts and notes with calculations inserted into the ledger.

Coale

Biographical / Historical

William Coale (d. 1842) was a physician based in Libertytown, Maryland, in the mid 19th century. His father, Richard Coale (d. 1834), was a surgeon during the American Revolutionary War and an enslaver who owned 30 enslaved people according to the 1800 census. Richard Coale owned a large house on Main Street in Libertytown across the street from the Abraham Jones house and store. William Coale's brothers James M. Coale and Richard Coale Jr. and his brother-in-law Colonel Thomas Otho Sappington were also enslavers living in Frederick County, though it is unclear whether William Coale ever inherited enslaved people from his father. The Coales were most likely Catholic.

Biographical / Historical

William Cowper was an English poet. Born in 1731 in Great Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, Cowper was schooled in Markyate and Winchester and trained for a career in law. However, he found himself ill-suited for the profession and instead was appointed a commissioner in bankruptcy. He suffered from severe mental instability and was institutionalized on several occasions. A true romantic, Cowper wrote much of his poetry in honor of the women in his life. Among his most famous compositions are The Task and The Journey of John Gilpin. Cowper died in 1800.

Joseph Hill was a close friend of Cowper who served as his mentor in matters of business.

Crawshaw, Nancy.

Biographical / Historical

Nancy Crawshaw was born Cecilia Anna Mary Jenkins in 1914 in Vevey, Switzerland, to British parents. She trained as a photographer at the Reimann School of Photography and Commercial Art at their Vienna and London locations. (The rise of Nazism and World War II made the switch between these two necessary.)

After temporarily working as a wartime civil servant, she began a career in journalism, starting out initially as a photo-journalist in 1946. Continuing in this specialty during the next three years, she worked in the Balkans and the Middle East. She accompanied the United Nations investigation team in Communist-held Northern Greece, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria as an independent photo-journalist, and was commissioned by G.B. Instructional Films Ltd. to make six film strips on "The Geography of the Desert," traveling to Iraq, Kurdistan, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

In the next phase of her career she focused chiefly on print journalism, although she continued to take photographs which occasionally accompanied her articles. She became an accredited special correspondent for the Manchester Guardian in Greece (1949-1959) and Cyprus (1955-1959). From this point on, she regularly took extended trips to both Greece and Cyprus and was seen as a British expert on the international political issues regarding Cyprus. She wrote numerous articles for foreign policy periodicals, gave lectures and papers at academic conferences, and contributed sections to books on Cyprus and the Encyclopedia Americana. This standing as an expert was greatly bolstered in 1978 with the publication of her book The Cyprus Revolt, which focused on the period between World War II and the international agreement that created the independent Republic of Cyprus, and the struggle of the Greek-Cypriot population for union with Greece.

She served as one of two British consultants to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in connection with a major research project that resulted in the book Le Conflit de Chypre by Professor Francois Crouzet (2 vols., Bruylant, Brussels, 1973). During the 1950s, she was twice employed by the British Foreign Office, once in 1953 to research the Arab States and their oil industries, and once in 1958 to aid their publicity efforts by giving lectures in connection with the Cyprus Crisis and the Cyprus debate in the UN. In addition, she served as a specialist adviser on the Cyprus Problem to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee from 1980 to1983.

She married J.T. Crawshaw (a Lloyd's underwriter) in 1939, and was a member of the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and a licentiate of the British Institute of Professional Photographers.

Scope and Contents

Consists of two account books kept by Quaker master builders Jonathan Dillworth and Hezekiah Hibbard detailing their carpentry work on several outbuildings that James Hamilton added to the Bush Hill Estate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the early 1770s. The account books are highly detailed, containing nearly 300 entries and including dimensions and costs for each feature of the coach house, stable, ice house, farm house, hay house, cart house, and cow house.

The estate remained within the Hamilton family until it was demolished in 1875.

Douglass

Biographical / Historical

Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was an African American abolitionist, social reformer, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became one of the foremost leaders of the abolitionist movement in the United States, fighting to end slavery in the decades prior to the American Civil War. Douglass later served as an adviser to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and fought for the adoption of constitutional amendments that guaranteed voting rights and other civil liberties for African Americans.

Douglass, Frederick, 1818-1895, Letter to William B. Sprague, 1861 May 1. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

One signed autograph letter (2 pages) from Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) in Rochester, New York, to William Buell Sprague (1795-1876) two weeks after the start of the American Civil War. The letter regards Sprague's discourse in commemoration of the late Supreme Court Justice John McLean (1785-1861) delivered on April 7, 1861, in the Second Presbyterian Church, Albany, which had mentioned Douglass. In the letter, Douglass describes his own life story, as well as his prediction that the abolition of slavery would be an outcome of the Civil War, writing, "For once the cause of the country has become the cause of the slave, and the difficulty of separating the one from the other, is a ground of hope that in the almost certain triumph of the country, the cause of justice and freedom to the bondman will triumph."

One signed autograph letter (3 pages) from Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) in Washington, D.C., to Frank B. (Franklin Benjamin) Sanborn (1831-1917) regarding the events leading up to the 1859 raid on Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, organized by abolitionist John Brown. In the letter, Douglass recounts meeting with Brown in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, shortly before the raid; Brown's unsuccessful attempts to convince Douglass to support him; and the likelihood that a "Mr. Smith," probably referring to Gerrit Smith (1797-1874), knew the details of Brown's plan prior to the raid.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a fragment of the autograph manuscript, Helen, by Maria Edgeworth. Helen was Edgeworth's last novel, published in 1834 by Richard Bentley. The novel has been noted as being uncharacteristic of her fiction, but Edgeworth had written that this difference was deliberate.

The manuscript fragment consists of 18 lines with corrections, deletions, and other annotations, indicating its use as a working manuscript. "Maria Edgeworth scrap of Helen" is written in the margin. The section of text is from chapter seven in volume 2, featuring a conversation between Helen and Lady Cecilia. Comparison with the published version of the novel shows that a short passage was added to the text after this working manuscript was written.

Edgeworth

Biographical / Historical

Maria Edgeworth was an Anglo-Irish author of adults' and children's literature. Born in Oxfordshire, Maria spent most of her childhood in England. After her mother, Anna Maria Edgeworth (née Elers)'s death, she went to live with her father, Richard Lovell Edgeworth, at his estate in County Longford, Ireland. The time she spent in Ireland was impactful, and this was reflected in her writing celebrating Irish culture and its rejection of English steretypes of Ireland. She is considered one of the first realists in children's literature, and her writing played a significant role in the evolution of the novel in Europe at the time. She also wrote about her views on various topics including economis, politics, estate management, and education, and was well regarded in English literary society. She died in 1849 at Edgeworthstown in Ireland.

Though the image is unsigned, photographer John Wesley Elarton (1844-1919) was living in Aurora at the time this photograph was taken, and it was likely taken by him.

Ellery, William, 1727-1820. Ellery, William, 1727-1820, Draft of Editorial Regarding his Views on Slavery and the Consequences of Emancipation, circa 1817. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a heavily revised, four-page manuscript draft of an editorial by William Ellery (1727-1820), signed "A Friend to Man." Although undated, the draft is probably dated about 1817 and was likely written in response to the foundation of the American Colonization Society in 1816. Ellery, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a member of Congress from 1776 to 1786, came to favor the gradual emancipation of enslaved people. In the editorial, Ellery argues against a "sudden general emancipation" in the United States and the Caribbean, proposing that labor crises would ensue and have negative affects on both black and white Americans. Ellery also writes that he is not opposed to the resettlement of formerly enslaved African Americans in Africa, but expresses doubts about the economic viability of this plan. The draft ends with a discussion of old biblical justifications for slavery and a list of biblical quotations relating to bondage and the "curse of Canaan."

Scope and Contents

Consists of a bound notebook containing notes by Mary O. Ford, a young woman who was a student at the Newark Institute for Young Ladies in Newark, New Jersey, an educational organization that participated in the early American women's seminary movement and provided rigorous educational opportunities to women in a time when they were still excluded from American universities. The volume contains 38 handwritten pages, including commonplace book content, as well as school composition essays and exercises. The earlier section of the notebook includes a mixture of poetry and dramatic pieces regarding both spiritual and secular topics. The latter section includes lists of subjects for composition and outlines of essays, which document Ford's interests and positions as she moves through her schooling. Topics blend religious ideas with secular and political concerns, and include the role of women in politics, education, and society; as well as moral stances on the emancipation of enslaved people and the harms done by European colonizers on the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Scope and Contents

Consists of 22 albumen photographic prints taken by Désiré Fricot, which primarily document Calaveras County, Yosemite National Park, and Sheep Ranch, but also includes a few photographs of other California landscapes in the mid-1890s, such as Cliff House in San Francisco. Fricot was prospecting in Calaveras and Nevada counties during the mid-1890s, where many of these photographs were taken. Included in this group of photographs are Calaveras County landmarks, such as the Two Sentinels (a pair of giant sequoias), the Mammoth Grove Hotel, and the Big Tree Pavilion. The Yosemite images include photographs of Vernal Falls, Nevada Falls, Mirror Lake with a view of Mt. Watkins, the Wawona Tree in Mariposa Grove, and an image of a coach for the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Co. Each of the photographs have a penciled caption in French on their reverse sides.

Fricot

Biographical / Historical

Désiré Fricot (1868-1940) was born to American parents who were traveling abroad in Paris, France. His father, Jules Nicolas Fricot, was a mining speculator and part of the French prospecting community who owned and operated a number of claims in Nevada and Calaveras County in California. The family also obtained real estate in San Francisco, and was active in French diplomatic and consular activities in California and Hawaii.

Désiré was educated in Paris, France and San Francisco, California, studying as a mining engineer and chemist before he moved to Grass Valley in Nevada County, California. It was here, and in Sheep Ranch, Calaveras County, where he prospected on the Independence claim from 1893 through 1897 with his business partner, André Chavanne. It was also during this period that Fricot took many photographs of the Grass Valley region.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a friendship album kept by Louise M. Gardner during the entirety of her time studying at the Maplewood Young Ladies' Institute in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the mid 19th century. The album contains entries from 57 female classmates and 12 from male students at nearby Williams College, some of which are accompanied by photographs. With particularly intimate and friendly notes, this album provides insights into the close-knit friendships of young women drawn together to an academic space from Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. In some of the entries, students reflect on their differing opinions on the American Civil War. The album provides insight to the culture at a 19th century "finishing school" as well as how the young women formed friendships, romantic relationships, and a community with one another and with men from a nearby college.

This working copy of the Cahiers du Contadour publication was profusely corrected and annotated by Jean Giono with precise instructions for the publisher of the Gallimard reprint.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a letter from John Glassell (1780-1850), a Virginia farmer and enslaver, to his daughter Mildred "Milly" Smith Covel (1823-1905). Writing from "The Glebe" farm in Culpeper County, Glassell relays news about family and neighbors, most notably a dispute with his neighbor, a Mr. Pollock, over the sale of an enslaved woman named Eve and the potential sale of another woman named Winny. Glassell states that the sale of Eve "created a rumpus about [his] servants" and that "this has compelled [him] to sue [his neighbor] to prevent any further transgressions."

Glassell

Biographical / Historical

John Glassell (1780-1850) was a descendant of Scottish American settlers and enslavers who acquired a significant amount of land in Virginia around the time of the American Revolution. Glassell inherited land from his father, Andrew Glassell (1738-1827) and later acquired the "The Glebe" farm in Culpeper County in 1844, where he held enslaved laborers.

Helen, Letter to Mary E. Dorsey, circa 1844 September 27. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a three-page letter from a woman named Helen in Lafayette, Louisiana, to her sister-in-law Mary E. Dorsey in Bunker Hill, Macoupin County, Illinois. The letter discusses family news, including the loss of a child, as well as updates on family members, a former schoolmate, and an African American woman who was formerly enslaved by the Dorseys and related families. The latter woman's name is not included in the letter, which only refers to her as "Mammy," and Helen describes the correspondence she keeps with her sister, noting that "she seems to be quite uneasy about her free papers, lest she might be cheated out of them in some way." Although Helen's full name is unknown, the letter's recipient, Mary Dorsey (1824-1852), married Richard E. Dorsey in Bunker Hill, Illinois, in 1842. Other comments in the letter suggest that it was likely written soon after the birth of Dorsey's first child, Laura, in August 1844.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an account book of tax and labor records kept by Stephen Hogeboom (1744-1814) from 1786 through his death in 1814 and continued by his descendants until 1827. The account book contains Columbia County, New York, tax records for the years 1786 to 1790, and detailed personal accounts for Hogeboom and the people he hired or conducted business with in the area surrounding Claverack, New York, from 1811 to 1818. These personal accounts include documentation of African American men and white women of the Claverack area who performed farm labor, cleaning, weaving, and other work for Hogeboom. While many entries document payment to laborers, some entires likely pertain to trafficked labor of people enslaved by Hogeboom's white neighbors. These entries generally document workers' names, tasks, and rates of pay. Some names of African American laborers whose work is documented in detail include Henry Constine, Thomas Carr, Joseph Hallinbeck, George Witbeck, Henry Borgardus, and Peter Vroman.

The account book also includes an 1810-1813 account for future president Martin Van Buren, which deals with hay. Tax records indicate monies apportioned and received for various districts such as Kinderhook, Kings, Hillsdale, Livingston, Claverack, German Camp, and Hudson.

Biographical / Historical

Colonel Stephen Hogeboom (1744-1814) was a Dutch American colonist born in Columbia County, New York, to Colonel Jeremiah Hogeboom (1711-1784) and Janetje Van Alen (1720-). Hogeboom moved to Claverack in his youth and acquired large tracts of land from Claverack Creek to the Hudson River, which he leased, sold, and used for agriculture, and on which both enslaved and paid laborers worked. He served as a lieutenant-colonel of the Albany County Regiment during the American Revolutionary War and was later active in local politics, serving as a member of the 14th, 16th, and 19th sessions of assembly; the Constitutional Convention in 1801; and in the New York State senate for four years. He was also a judge, Claverack's town supervisor in the late 1780s, and ex officio on the county's Board of Supervisors.

Hopper (1839-1901), then a lieutenant in the Union Army, which provides a detailed accounting of Major General Ormsby MacKnight Mitchel's views on the need for the North to unite around the abolition of slavery. Hopper also discusses his hope that "increasing anti-slavery public sentiment" would enable the Lincoln Administration to "adopt a distinct policy" with regard to abolition. Hopper wrote the letter from Pope Plantation, St. Helena Island, South Carolina, to a friend back home in Boston, Massachusetts.

Biographical / Historical

Edward W. Hopper (1839-1901) was a lawyer, post commander and military governor in the South Carolina Sea Islands (1862-1863), and Treasurer of Harvard University (1876-1898).

This letter was written from Carmel, California, where Langston Hughes was preparing his first book, The Ways of White Folks, for publication. This letter documents Langston Hughes's response to some of the treatment he received from white audiences as a Black author and poet. He mentions his forthcoming book in the letter, and wonders what the response of the "Southern papers" would be to his new work, as "it contains some pretty sharp criticism of the prevalent white attitudes towards Negroes."

Scope and Contents

Consists of three pencil and ink drawings by French Johnson, an African American artist and farm hand on the Rosendale Plantation in Virginia. One drawing depicts an elephant with the caption "Shoe will tak place on the 14 of Feber, elephant good by," which may refer to a Sells elephant show. Another features a calliope (steam piano), captioned "Steem par-an-ner and four horse," and a third shows two men on horses, one of whom is drinking from a whiskey jug, captioned "Mr. Worke Williamson and Mr. Tommas Jackson. Hold on, Tom, don't drink it all up, for I am coming I want a drink yes for I am drunk now." Some of the drawings are likely based on touring circuses. A separate note in a different hand states, "a colored man French Johnson drew these, a brother of William Mayes who was hired with his family at Rosendale 1881."

Johnson

Biographical / Historical

French Johnson was an African American artist and farm hand from Virginia. Johnson appears as a Black farm laborer (born circa 1859) in the 1880 census for Lee Township in Shenandoah County, Virginia, near the Rosendale Plantation in New Market, where he worked. He may have possibly been the same French Johnson (born circa 1861 in Virginia) who appeared as a gardener in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1900, and died there in 1904.

Kehoe, Robert C., 1832-1905. Kehoe, Robert C., 1832-1905, Account Book with United States Marshal Daniel R. Goodloe, 1865-1867. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a manuscript account book of Robert C. Kehoe (1832-1905) as Deputy United States Marshal, detailing costs owed to Daniel R. Goodloe (1814-1902) as United States Marshal for services performed for the Pamlico District in eastern North Carolina, which includes documentation of the administration of civil rights laws during the early Reconstruction era. At the time, United States marshals were paid through a fee system, collecting set amounts for performing particular tasks. This account book records Kehoe's service of writs, summonses, and warrants on behalf of Goodloe, many of which were issued by United States Commissioner Robert F. Lehman; his arrests and seizures; notices published; and fees. The entries generally name the suspect and the charges in criminal cases, including civil rights violations, counterfeiting, theft of government horses, and smuggling and assault on the high seas with intent to kill. Records related to the prosecution of civil rights violations depict actions taken by government officials to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Some examples of these entries include: "United States vs Joseph Smith, Henry Cumbro and George Harrison, charged under the provisions of the Civil Rights bill with highway robbery in Jones Co. on one Peter Gardner colored" (May 21, 1867) and "The U States vs. Vincent Dixon charge, Unlawfully and forcibly detaining in his custody and control at Dawson's creek NC Rena Ann Bryan, a child of color and the daughter of one Juno Bryan against her will and consent" (January 25, 1867).

Scope and Contents

Consists of three large sepia-tinted silver gelatin photographic prints. The images document logging crews and operations in or near Gray's Harbor County, Washington. One of the photographs shows a logging crew standing on the Clemons Logging Company's Heisler No. 2 locomotive, which was a standard gauge 90-ton 3-truck sold to the company in 1928. Along with the crew, there are logged stands of timber in the background. There is a caption in negative at the bottom of the photograph: "No 2 / Clemons Log Co / C Kinsey Photo." The other two photographs show Northwestern Lumber Company crews from Camp 14. One of the photographs is taken at a portrait orientation to show the height and extensive rigging attached to the sole tree trunk in the mid-distance. The photographer is on the rail line, and the image shows the crew and a steam donkey at work at the base of the tree further down the rail. The inscription, "No 206 / Camp 14 / Northwestern Lmbr Co / C Kinsey Photo," is at the bottom of the photograph in negative. The other Camp 14 photograph shows six men from the logging crew posing on one of the two steam donkeys pictured in the photograph. The inscription, in negative, reads "Camp #14 / Northwestern Lmbr Co / C. Kinsey Photo." The crew appear to be at the base of the same tree decked with rigging in the other Camp 14 photograph.

Lansing, Robert, 1864-1928

Biographical / Historical

Lansing was born in Watertown, New York on October 17, 1864. The son of John and Maria Lay (Dodge) Lansing, he could trace his American ancestry to the middle years of the seventeenth century. His religious and political loyalties were Presbyterian and Democratic. He attended Amherst College in Massachusetts, graduating in 1886, and, like his father and grandfather before him, entered the legal profession. He joined his father's practice following his admission to the bar in 1889, but it was his father-in-law and one-time Secretary of State, John Watson Foster, who interested him in global affairs and the international arbitral panels before which he would appear more often than any American lawyer of the time. In 1892, he was named associate counsel for the United States in the Bering Sea Arbitration, an appointment which took him to Paris. In the years which followed, he represented American interests before such bodies as the Bering Sea Claims Commission, the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, the North Atlantic Coast Fisheries Arbitration, the Fur Seal Conference, and the British and American Claims Arbitration. In addition to private interests, he served as counsel for the Mexican and Chinese legations in Washington between 1894 and 1895 and 1900 and 1901. In 1906, Lansing helped to found the American Society of International Law, and, in 1907, he helped to launch the American Journal of International Law, of which he became an associate editor.

On March 27, 1914, he was appointed Counselor for the Department of State, unaware of the burdens soon to be imposed on him by the outbreak of the First World War. As the second highest official in the department, he was called upon to serve as acting secretary in the absence of William Jennings Bryan. Bryan's resignation over the ramifications of the sinking of the Lusitania opened the way for Lansing's appointment as Secretary of State on June 23, 1915, an unusual choice on Wilson's part in light of Lansing's lack of political stature. The President and his confidant, Edward Mandell House, exercised far more influence over the conduct of foreign policy than Lansing, but his familiarity with the workings of international law was an asset as the administration grappled with the thorny questions arising from the need to define and safeguard the rights of neutrals in a world at war.

Neutrality, which had grown steadily more untenable as hostilities intensified, was abandoned in 1917. Diplomatic ties with Germany were severed on February 3, and a state of war was declared to exist between the countries on April 6, developments Lansing both expected and welcomed. In the first days of his tenure, he had outlined in a private memorandum his views on Germany, noting that "German absolutism is the great menace to democracy" and raising the specter of a triumphant reich allying itself with an autocratic Russia and Japan in a coordinated assault on human liberty. He was not, however, an advocate of revenge, dubbing the reparations bruited by Great Britain and France "simple madness." The positions of foreign leaders were not the only ones he questioned as the spotlight shifted from the battlefield to the conference table. Lansing, who travelled to Paris as a member of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, found himself in irreconcilable disagreement with Wilson over a number of issues, the most important of which concerned the nature of the President's beloved League of Nations and the wisdom of framing its covenant in conjunction with the treaties of peace. Lansing went so far as to question the appropriateness of his superior's presence in Paris on the grounds that it would lessen his stature and, thus, his influence at home and abroad. Lansing's advice on these and other matters was unwelcome, and though he was one of the signatories of the Treaty of Versailles, his ability to influence events was minimal.

While issues associated with the First World War occupied center stage during his time in office, Lansing was also obliged to deal with the volatile political situation in Mexico and the tensions which threatened to spark a full-scale war between this strife-torn country and the United States. Differences with Wilson over the propriety of intervention in Mexican affairs in the fall of 1919 did nothing to narrow the rift between them. Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which were occupied by American troops in 1915 and 1916 respectively, constituted minor flash points and, as such, afforded Lansing greater scope for independent action. Strains in Japanese-American relations were a matter of concern as well, particularly in regard to the status of China. The Lansing-Ishii Agreement, negotiated in the fall of 1917, was intended to preserve China's territorial integrity and political independence while recognizing – ominously in light of later events – Japan's "special interests" there. The Bolshevik revolution posed challenges as novel as they were farreaching, not least of which was the collapse of the eastern front. Lansing loathed Bolshevism, which he described in a private memorandum as "the most hideous and monstrous thing that the human mind has ever conceived," and opposed extending diplomatic recognition to the new regime.

The last months of Lansing's tenure as Secretary of State were overshadowed by domestic opposition to the peace settlement arrived at in Paris, culminating in the refusal of the Senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, and the physical and psychological collapse of Wilson in the fall of 1919. In the resultant vacuum, Lansing felt it proper to summon meetings of the cabinet, a practice which aroused the ire of the convalescent President, who accused him of usurping presidential power. Lansing's resignation, which took effect on February 13, 1920, was as willingly offered as it was accepted. Lansing had, in fact, considered resigning well before this point, privately likening his position to that of "a school boy or a rubber stamp," but his sense of duty had restrained him.

Now he happily returned to private life. He resumed the practice of international law in partnership with Lester Hood Woolsey, who had served as Solicitor for the Department of State, and was retained by a number of countries. They included Chile, whose interests he and Woolsey represented in the Tacna-Arica Arbitration. Lansing used his new leisure to record his opinions and impressions of the peace conference, though he refrained from publicizing his disagreements with Wilson until the change in administrations in 1921, and he was working on an extensive account of his years as Secretary of State at the time of his death. His examination of the peace conference took the form of two books, The Peace Negotiations: A Personal Narrative and The Big Four and Others of the Peace Conference, and part of his unfinished manuscript was published posthumously under the title, War Memoirs of Robert Lansing. He died in Washington, D.C. on October 30, 1928.

Lewis, David K. (David Kellogg), 1941-2001

Biographical / Historical

David Kellogg Lewis (1941-2001) was an American philosopher and professor at Princeton University and the University of California, Los Angeles who made contributions to metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, decision theory, epistemology, meta-ethics, and aesthetics. Born in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1941, Lewis completed his undergraduate education at Swarthmore College. After spending the 1959-1960 academic year abroad at St. Catherine's Society at Oxford University, where he attended lectures by J. L. Austin and was tutored by Iris Murdoch, Lewis switched his major from chemistry to philosophy. He went on to receive his M.A. (1964) and Ph.D. (1967) in Philosophy from Harvard University, where he studied with W. V. Quine and Hilary Putnam. From 1962 to 1975, Lewis served part-time on the staff at the Hudson Institute, a Washington think-tank then dedicated to researching the technical aspects of nuclear weapons and disarmament policy issues. At the Hudson Institute, Lewis developed an interest in game theory that informed his dissertation, Conventions of Language, which he wrote under the supervision of W. V. Quine and later published.

Lewis taught at the University of California, Los Angeles beginning in 1966 and moved to Princeton in 1970, where he taught for the rest of his life. He was named Stuart Professor of Philosophy in 1995 and later appointed Class of 1943 University Professor of Philosophy in 1998. Lewis's published books include Convention (1969), Counterfactuals (1973), On the Plurality of Worlds (1986), and Parts of Classes (1991). Volumes of his collected papers include Philosophical Papers Vol. I (1983) and Philosophical Papers Vol. II (1986), published by Oxford University Press, and Papers in Philosophical Logic (1998), Papers in Metaphysics and Epistemology (1999), and Papers in Social Philosophy (2000), published in Cambridge University Press's Cambridge Studies in Philosophy series. Lewis maintained close ties to the philosophical community in Australia, corresponding regularly with D. M. Armstrong, J. J. C. Smart, Frank Jackson, Allen Hazen, and others, and he spent summers there almost annually from 1971 up until shortly before his death in 2001. David Lewis's wife, Stephanie R. Lewis, also a philosopher and co-author of several papers with her husband, maintained David Lewis's papers and served as the executor of his literary estate following his death.

At the time of writing, Lewis's husband, Lieutenant Martin Van Buren Lewis, a recent West Point graduate, had recently joined the United States Army 7th Infantry Regiment, which had just been reassigned from Fort Grant, after defending non-Mormons and travelers in Utah from Mormon violence. At Fort Grant, the regiment protected the interests of white New Mexico settlers from possible attacks by Diné (Navajo) and Apache people, whose lands they were occupying, along the Santa Fe Trail and the Jornada del Muerto stretch of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. In the letters, Lewis discusses the activities and military politics of her husband's regiment, her early feelings of homesickness and isolation in the desert, and her time spent hunting and shooting pistols.

United States. Army. Native Guard Infantry Regiment, 2nd (1862-1863). 2nd Louisiana Native Guard Infantry Regiment Company D Muster Roll, 1863 June 30-September 1. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a muster and pay roll for Company D of the 2nd Louisiana Native Guard Infantry Regiment, which had recently been reclassified as the 2nd Regiment, Corps d'Afrique, though that name change is not yet reflected on the document itself. The roll lists 86 enlisted men, most of whom were African American, and documents their dates of enlistment, pay, and other notes covering July and August of 1863 while the company was stationed on Ship Island, Mississippi. Private Kenian Williams is recorded as having died in the hospital on July 30th, 1863. A later note in red pen shows that his back pay was finally awarded to his heirs in 1890. Similarly, a soldier who had been discharged for disability was paid in 1871; many others are noted as having been given a certificate of service in 1866. Several soldiers are listed as having performed "extra duty" as carpenters and blacksmiths. Almost all of the soldiers signed the payroll by mark, but sergeants Charles Taylor and Samuel Thomas and musician George W. Weeks signed their full names. The document is also signed by Lieutenant Colonel Albert G. Hall as regimental commander, and by other company officers.

United States

Biographical / Historical

The 2nd Louisiana Native Guard Infantry Regiment was one of three regiments of Louisiana Native Guards. Initially organized by wealthy freedmen in New Orleans as an African American militia, the Louisiana Native Guards became part of the Union Army during the American Civil War. Organized by General Benjamin Butler in October 1862, the 2nd Regiment was first assigned to the defense of New Orleans and later to garrison duty on Ship Island, Mississippi. While the regiment's original line officers were Black, Major General Nathaniel P. Banks purged all remaining Black officers in early 1863 via discriminatory "competency boards" and forced resignations. The regiment was reclassified in June 1863 as the 2nd Regiment, Corps d'Afrique, and then again as the 74th United States Colored Troops in 1864. It was later involved in defenses of New Orleans, and expeditions from Fort Pike to Pearl River, Bayou Bonforica, and Bayou St. Louis. The regiment mustered out on October 11th, 1865.

Biographical / Historical

John R. Martin was a professor of Art History at Princeton University for 40 years, joining the faculty as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow in 1947. He was eventually made the Marquand Professor of Art and Archaeology in 1970, and chairman of the department from 1973-1979. Specializing in Flemish and Baroque painting, Martin was well-known among the student body as a powerful and engaging lecturer, a reputation that followed him outside of the classroom as he periodically gave lectures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other institutions. Martin's scholarly work was held in high esteem, and he won the College Art Association book award in 1974 for his contribution to the Rubens catalogue raisonne, going on to serve as president of the organization from 1984-1986. He was also editor of Art Bulletin from 1971-1974. John R. Martin died in 2000.

The photograph depicts a group of several dozen subjects, most of whom appear to be Lakota people, standing and sitting in front of the church. Reverend Charles Smith Cook (Yankton Sioux, shown far left), is pictured, as are possibly Charles Eastman (Santee Dakota, shown fifth from the left) and Elaine Goodale Eastman (shown at the far right). The other people in the picture are probably the members of the congregation, alongside other missionaries and agency officials, and likely a policeman.

Morris, May, 1862-1938. Morris, May, 1862-1938, Correspondence, 1898-1899. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a small group of correspondence of English designer and craftswoman May Morris, including five letters from Morris, written during her brief marriage to Henry Halliday Sparling (1860–1924). Four of these are to Constance Belliss, who was working as a librarian and secretary for Laurence W. Hodson (1864–1933). The other is to Mary Hodson, who was Belliss's cousin and Hodson's wife. Letters to May Morris include one each from Mary Hodson and William Flinders Petrie, as well as a postcard from (Lady) Clara Richmond. The correspondence primarily pertains to Morris trying to help Belliss achieve her goal of traveling to Egypt to draw and paint on archaeological digs. As Petrie's letter reports, women had been traveling to Egypt but were not being compensated for their labor. The letters shed light on women's efforts to work in the archaeological field at the turn of the century and the challenges they faced.

Ohio. Court of Common Pleas (Champaign County). State of Ohio Court Documents Regarding an Abortion Trial of Ann Porter, 1829 September. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of six court documents related to the apprehension, arraignment, and imprisonment of Ann Porter, an Ohio woman accused and convicted of "murdering her infant child in her womb." At the time, abortion of pregnancy was legal under common law up until the point of "quickening" at which a pregnant person could feel the movements of the fetus. The documents include a manuscript warrant issued by Richard D. George, Justice of the Peace, commanding any constable of Urbana to apprehend Porter who "sometime in the month of March last was guilty of the crime of murder by killing a child with which she...was then pregnant or that she aided or assisted in the commission of said crime." There is also an affidavit signed by Andrew Kirkpatrick (relation unknown) who swears that Porter committed the act; recognizance slips for six witnesses; and a document containing George's summarization of the series of actions in the case, which included issue of the warrant, the apprehension of Porter by a constable, the subpoena of witnesses, Porter's not guilty plea, and his own judgement of Porter's guilt and sentencing of Porter to imprisonment "until legally dischanged by law."

Parker, William, Jr., 1731-1813. Parker, William, Jr., Court Proceedings for the Trial of Asa Light, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, 1808 October 1-3. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of court proceedings for a theft case brought by Samuel Tenney (1748-1816), a white man who was a Federalist member of the United States House of Representatives, against Asa Light, an African American man from Exeter, New Hampshire, under the jurisdiction of justice of the peace William Parker Jr. (1731-1813). Materials include a complaint and warrant for the arrest of Asa Light, who is described in the document as "a boy of colour, labourer...[who] on the twentieth day of September 1808 with force and arms broke and entered your complainants store and with like force did steal and carry away...five dollar bank bill...a half dollar bank bill and three pen knives." There is also a summons for three witnesses, a statement from deputy sheriff F.B. Lathan confirming that Light had been apprehended and the witnesses summoned, an account of costs, Light's guilty plea, and a detailed statement of the sentence delivered by Parker. Light was ordered to pay a fine of three dollars, damages of $13.50 (twice the value of materials stolen, which were returned), and seven dollars in court costs; the documents note that Light was to pay Tenney funds earned from three months service to any individual of Tenney's choice and "to stand committed till this sentence be performed." These court proceedings provide an example of how Black men were treated in the legal system in New England during the early years of the United States.

Parsons, William B. (William Bostwick), 1833-1885. Parsons, William Bostwick, Letter to Beak, 1856 June 21. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a two-page letter from William Bostwick Parsons, a Kansas settler associated with anti-slavery and Free Soil movements, to a friend he addresses as Beak. In the letter, Parsons describes his escape from pro-slavery raiders known as "Border Ruffians" who attacked him as he was leaving Kansas to return to his studies at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Writing from Chicago, Illinois, where he was recovering from an illness, Parsons indicates that he would have to return to Kansas due to a lack of funds. He also describes giving speeches on Free Kansas and the presidential campaign of John Charles Frémont, as well as his experience during the May 1856 sacking of Lawrence, Kansas, by pro-slavery settlers during the series of conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas." The letter was written shortly after the murder of Parsons' associate David Starr Hoyt (1821-1856).

Parsons

Biographical / Historical

He lectured on abolitionist and Free Soil movements in Kansas, and later became a lawyer in Coffey County and served in the Kansas Cavalry during the American Civil War. In 1859, he published a Pike's Peak gold rush guide book, titled "The New Gold Mines of Western Kansas."

Scope and Contents

Consists of a bound album containing an unpublished manuscript and photographs by hunter and author Charles Victor Alexander Peel, in which he documents a 1903 big game hunting trip to Wyoming's Gros Ventre Wilderness and other regions.

The account is occasionally divided into short chapters with headings such as "Hunting the wapiti," "Hunting mountain sheep," "Hunting the prong-horn antelope," and "Hunting lynx and lion." The photographs were taken by an unidentified person who rode along with Peel, as several of the photographs picture Peel himself.

Prouty, Susanna. Prouty, Susanna, Agreement with Luke Prouty, 1808 July 9. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a manuscript legal document in which Susanna Prouty, a woman living in Washington County, New York, in the early 19th century, negotiates her long-term financial, medical, and housing security through an agreement with her son. In the document, Prouty, who was recently widowed following the death of her husband, Richard Prouty, one year prior, enters into a binding legal agreement with Luke Prouty, her third son. She provides him $1500 in exchange for guaranteed food, clothing, access to living quarters and common spaces in Luke's home, the use of a horse and two cows, medical care in the event of her illness, and $5 annually for the remainder of her life. This document provides evidence of Prouty's legal self-advocacy and successful leveraging of the liquidity of her financial assets to secure an advantageous arrangement that would provide economic stability in a cultural context where such security was not readily available to widowed and single women. The document was signed by Hugh Moor of Bethuel Church as a witness and by Luke Prouty at Salem, New York.

Prouty

Biographical / Historical

Susanna Prouty lived in Washington County, New York, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. She married Richard Prouty and had at least eight children. Following the death of her husband in 1807, she negotiated a contract with her son, Luke Prouty, that provided for her personal economic security for the rest of her life.

Pugh, Thomas. Pugh, Thomas, Coroner's Jury Inquisition into the Death of Anthony, Charlotte County, Virginia, 1859 January 14-15. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a substantial record concerning an investigation into the death and possible murder of Anthony, a formerly enslaved Black man who had recently been emancipated upon the death of his former enslaver, Isaac N. Robertson, in 1857. It is likely that Anthony died as the result of a racially motivated assault by a white man, though the report is inconclusive. The coroner, Thomas Pugh, states "that from a surgical examination made in the presence of the Jury... his death was caused by a blow or injury received on the left side of the head...by whom or how inflicted the jury cannot ascertain." Following the coroner's statement and the forensic reports of two surgeons are ten pages of depositions by fifteen white witnesses. The two primary witnesses are Nicolas Pamplin, proprietor of Pamplin's Depot and likely candidate for a fatal assault on Anthony, and Martha Wilkins, Anthony's employer who sent him to the depot to fetch lumber.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a 380-page ledger documenting the sale of grains, wood, flaxseed oil, and whiskey by David Rhodes, the proprietor of Middle Creek Mill, a grain and sawmill, distillery, and farm located on the border of Emmitsburg, Maryland, and Freedom Township, Pennsylvania. Customers included European American settlers and African Americans in this predominantly Catholic community that straddled the Mason-Dixon Line. Those noted as African American in the ledger include Daniel Reed, and people described as Black Will and Black Harry. Among the other names that are mentioned are Michael LaCou, Hugh Coons, Michael McCanty, Joa Elder, and individuals with the surnames Bowie, Butler, Carver, and Coldwell. Other Rhodes family members documented in the ledger who handled cash for the mill include Daniel Rhodes and Jacob Rhodes. There are also accounts for other employees including Polly Carver (or Canver), who was perhaps an African American woman, and Benjamin Hershey. Rhodes sometimes bartered with customers who delivered his flour to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore, Maryland, in exchange for goods. Others settled their accounts by weaving, "schooling," and providing other services.

Richmond, Mary Almy, 1864-1946. Richmond, Mary Almy, "My Mother's Day as Seen through Diaries and Old Letters", 1796-1948. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a biography of Amy White Richmond (1836-1908, née Howland) in the form of a manuscript narrative and handmade scrapbook written and assembled by her daughter, Mary Almy Richmond (1864-1946, later Pressly), recounting her life, times, and family history spanning several generations. The narrative documents Amy White Richmond's life in Massachusetts and, later, Michigan; as well as the story of her role in several well-connected New England and New York families, including the Richmond, Cornell, and Howland families.

The biography is a combination of a handwritten narrative and a scrapbook containing a substantial collection of original photographs, letters, clippings, documents, wedding dress fabric, a portrait of Amy, and other ephemera belonging to Amy White Richmond and her family. While Mary Almy Richmond assembled and wrote the biography between 1915 and 1948, older materials included within the scrapbook date from as early as 1796. Documents pertaining to Amy's father-in-law, Jonathan Richmond (1774-1853), include appointments bearing the signatures of James Madison as President, James Monroe as Secretary of States, and John Jay as governor of New York, as well as a membership certificate from the Grand Royal Friendship Society of the United States.

Working from accounts her mother told her, as well as from her mother's diaries, family histories, stories, notes, and letters, Mary structures her narrative as a sequence of small, slow reveals told to Amy in the second person. Beginning with Amy's childhood in Westport, Massachusetts, Mary describes her early friends and her close relationship with her grandmother, Lydia Howland, who was a Quaker; her school days at Woodbury Cottage school and the Wheaton Female Seminary; and her years living in New Bedford, Massachusetts, with her brother Peleg and his wife, Lucy. This section includes an anecdote about Henrietta ("Hetty") Howland Robinson Green (1834-1916), a well-known financier and businesswoman who was purportedly the richest woman in the United States during the Gilded Age. The narrative notes, "Hetty was devoted to an aunt Sylvia Ann Howland, and they had agreed that each would will her fortune to the other. When Sylvia died and left $200,000 to introduce water into the City of New Bedford, Hetty was so angry she produced a will, which was declared fraudulent and provoked a suit which lasted several years."

The next section includes an extended account of the history of the Richmond family, beginning with the Norman invasion, which culminates in the story of Amy's marriage to Charles H. Richmond (1821-1892) in 1856. This section provides ample information on Charles's father, Jonathan Richmond, including his militia service and roles as sheriff of Cayuga County, New York (1808-1812), United States internal revenue collector, and Democratic-Republican party Congressional representative for New York's 20th District (1819-1821). It also provides death and burial information for Rachel More, a woman whom Jonathan Richmond enslaved; noting that Rachel died on December 6th, 1853, at the age of 36, and was buried on Richmond's property "in the N.W. corner of the Middle field on the top of the hill at foot of a large Elm Tree."

After Amy's marriage, the narrative describes the couple's attendance at President James Buchanan's 1857 inauguration during their honeymoon and their life after settling in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Mary situates her mother's life within historical events, including elections and visits from various candidates, the Prince of Wales' 1860 visit to the United States, and the American Civil War. This section includes several letters that Charles sent to Amy during his trips to Washington D.C., which mention slavery (in one 1857 letter, he asks Amy whether he should purchase two enslaved teenage girls), growing tensions at the beginning of the Civil War, and his thoughts on the Lincoln administration and Union actions at Fort Sumter. The last portion of the narrative, which ends in 1865, focuses on the military service of Amy's half-brother, Charles C. Howland, who served with the 38th Massachusetts Volunteers.

Richmond

Biographical / Historical

Mary Almy Richmond (1864-1946) was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the daughter of Amy White Richmond (1836-1908) and Charles H. Richmond (1831-1892). She studied at the University of Michigan and the New England Conservatory of Music and was very active in the Episcopal Church and a variety of philanthropic organizations. She was also a writer and drafted a comprehensive biography of her mother. She later moved to San Diego, California, and was active in the La Jolla Women's Club. She married Dr. Mason Wylie Pressly in 1924, after which she was known as Mary Pressly.

Consists of a diary kept by William Ridings, a sergeant in the 10th United States Infantry Company I, during his military service in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory in the late 1860s. This diary provides a United States soldiers' perspective on army life in a time when the United States government was shifting its military focus from the American Civil War to concerted attempts to violently subdue the Sioux, Ojibwa (Chippewa), and Cree people and other Native Americans living on the Upper Great Plains. While most of the diary spans Ridings' time in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory, it begins with his training in Kentucky and ends with his later service in Texas. Ridings describes interactions with Sioux, Ojibwa, and Cree people; fur traders near Fort Abercrombie; and English and Dutch settlers on their way to the Oregon Territory. He also writes of the daily activities and travels of his company and frequently remarks on his fellow soldiers' regular problems with drunkenness.

Rodocker, David, 1840-1919. Rodocker, David, Photograph of Two Native American Soldiers in the United States Army 7th Cavalry Regiment Troop L, circa 1892. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a cabinet card photograph depicting two Native American cavalrymen in the United States Army's 7th Cavalry Regiment Troop L. Although the two men are unidentified, they are likely Comanche, Kiowa, Apache, or Arapaho. Troop L was comprised of young men from these four indigenous groups of the Great Plains that the United States government forcibly removed to settlements surrounding Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in the wake of the Red River War. It is possible that the soldier on the right may be I-See-O (Tahbonemah, Plenty Fires), a Kiowa 1st sergeant and diplomat.

The photograph was taken by David Rodocker (1840-1919), who was based in Winfield, Kansas. An annotation on the back notes that the two men "attended college and were members of the U.S. Army." Their full calvalry field uniforms with insignia and close-cropped haircuts suggest that these young men experienced white colonizers' violent efforts to assimilate indigenous Americans into the invading European culture.

Rogoff (1884-1966), a Jewish American professor of physiology, experimental medecine, and endocrinology. The draft is a much-condensed early version of the journal article Rogoff published under the same title in Phi Lambda Kappa Quarterly (September 1953, Vol. 28, No. 3). In the essay draft, Rogoff responds to Alfred Lilienthal's 1949 Reader's Digest article titled "Israel's Flag is not Mine" and refutes the equation of Jewish American support for Israel with disloyalty to the United States as an anti-Semetic trope.

Ruedas, Jerónimo de. Ruedas, Jerónimo de, and Others, Report to King Charles III of Spain on Indigenous Revolutionary Movements in South America, 1781 June 15. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a ninety-six page unpublished, confidential report written by seven Spanish colonial judges (oidores) of the Real Audiencia of Río de La Plata y Charcas to King Charles III of Spain, offering their analysis of the independence movements of Quechua, Aymara, Inca, and other Indigenous people against colonial rule in South America and connecting the Indigenous uprisings of the 1770s and 1780s led by Túpac Amaru II (Inca) and Tomás Katari (Aymara) to the American Revolution.

The report's authors and signatories include Jerónimo de Ruedas, Juan de Dios Calvo y Antequera, Pedro Antonio Cernadas y Bermúdez, Alonso Gonzáles Pérez, Manuel García de la Plata, Lorenzo Blanco y Cicerón, and Juan del Pino Manrique. Writing from the colonial Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata (now the nations of Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay), the authors cite Spanish colonial policy and taxation, as well as the ongoing revolution against the British Empire in North America, as significant influences on Indigenous revolutionary movements in Peru and elsewhere in South America.

The report recounts events leading up to Indigenous liberation movements in the 1770s and 1780s, including the abusive administration of the Corregidor of Chayanta, which led Tomás Katari to travel to Buenos Aires in 1778 to air his people's grievances to the Spanish authorities, as well as Katari's arrest and execution and the rebellion that followed. The authors also discuss at length the rebellion led by Túpac Amaru II and the violent Spanish attempts to suppress it. They also write about the circulation of revolutionary pamphlets by Indigenous organizers in the city of La Paz, Bolivia, as a means of building support for a revolution against Spanish colonizers.

Schauseil, Theodore, 1838-1920. Schauseil, Theodore, Watercolor Painting of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Mission School, Darlington Agency, circa 1875. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a watercolor painting by German-American artist Theodore Schauseil (1838-1920) titled "Mission of the Chey. and Arap. Agency. Built in the Year 1875." The painting depicts the Cheyenne and Arapaho Mission School at the Darlington Agency in what was then referred to as Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. The boarding school was built by Orthodox Quakers with United States government funds in 1872 as part of an assimilationist effort by white settlers to suppress Indigenous American peoples, cultures and languages. The painting reflects changes made to the school in 1875 to separate Cheyenne and Arapaho children. In 1879, the school was renamed the Arapaho Manual Labor and Boarding School, and Cheyenne students were moved to the Cheyenne Manual Labor and Boarding School at Caddo Springs.

Schauseil

Sherman, James L., 1839-1900. Sherman, James L., Civil War Letter and Other Correspondence to Mary Pearl, 1854-1864. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a set of letters to "Grandma" (Mary Pearl of Guilderland, New York) from her daughter, Elmira Sherman, and her grandchildren, Fannie A. Sherman, Mary P. Sherman, and James L. Sherman, dating from 1854 to 1864. Of particular note is the 1864 Civil War letter written from the front in Memphis, Tennessee, from James L. Sherman, a white officer leading Company A of the 68th U.S. Colored Troops Infantry Regiment (USCT). His letter details his re-entry into the army, his appointment as lieutenant of the 68th USCT, reporting for duty at Benton Barracks in Missouri, and being sent to Memphis. He writes of the bravery and capabilities of African American soldiers in the war, and that many of them were formerly enslaved in Missouri but now are "men acting for themselves, handling their own earnings & enjoying the fruits of their labors." Sherman strongly identifies with the men under his command; emphasizing the solidarity he feels with them he writes: "We as Colored Soldiers are pleased with such laudatory accounts of our Brothers, & we too expect to send forth as bright a record when our turn comes."

Sherman

Biographical / Historical

James L. Sherman (1839-1900) was born in Guilderland, New York. His family moved to Rockford, Illinois in 1850. He and his brother enlisted with the 74th Illinois Infantry in 1862 and served in Nashville, Tennessee. Discharged for disability, Sherman subsequently sought an officer's appointment to lead African American soliders and he was assigned to command Company G (and the Company A) of the 4th Missouri Colored Infantry Regiment in St. Louis, Missouri (later redesignated the 68th U.S. Colored Troops Regiment in 1864). He was promoted to captain during his service, and honorably mustered out of service in 1865 at the end of the war. The 68th was mustered out of service in 1866.

Sherman also commands McPherson to tighten security in order to prevent a system of spies from developing within the Union Army's ranks. The letter is housed in a custom case created by a former owner.

Biographical / Historical

John P. Soule (1828-1904) was an American photographer and publisher known for his documentation of urban scenes and fires, including the 1866 fire in Portland, Maine; the Great Boston Fire of 1872; and the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. He operated a photography studio in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1861 to 1882 and relocated to Seattle, Washington, in 1888, where he worked until his death in 1904. His brother William Stinson Soule (1836-1908) was also a photographer of the American West.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a photograph album containing twenty-eight photographs by Seattle photographer John P. Soule documenting the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, which occurred on June 6th, 1889, and destroyed all buildings in Seattle's central business district. Many of the photographs feature human subjects standing amidst the rubble and ashes. Some of the photographs, especially those featuring Second Street, show businesses attempting to continue after the disaster by erecting tents as makeshift storefronts.

Captions on the photographs include "Front Street from Second," "Occidental Hotel," "Puget Sound National Bank," "Up Yesler Ave." (two different views), "Front Street from Occidental Sqr.," "The Smoky Ruins from Jackson St.," "Down Commercial St.," "S.W. from Boston Block," "Front St. from Boston Block," "West from Boston Block," "Dexter Horton & Co.'s Bank," "Yesler Building," "Yessler Corner," "Opera House," "Wharf foot of Main St.," "Dearborn Building," "View from Jefferson St.," "On Second St.," "View from Second St." (five different views), "Down Yesler Ave.," "S.W. from Second St.," "South from Boston Block," and "Barracks on Third St."

At the conclusion of this section, a title page marked "Martha Southwick and Anna Southwick" marks the beginning of a brief account of Southwick's travels away from home in 1847, likely due to the death of a friend in Camden County. Later in the diary, Southwick documents her attendance at religious and abolitionist lectures in Philadelphia, including by Reverend Ashbel Parmelee, a Presbyterian minister and abolitionist orator, as well as by a Mr. Findal and a Mr. Capren. Her reading notes also relate to her interest in abolition and the history of slavery.

Scope and Contents

Consists of thirteen pages of court documents related to the case of "James McCallum, Executor of the Last Will and Testament of Samuel Mosley, dec'd vs. James W. Nowlin." The case pertains to a dispute between two white enslavers over the sale of an enslaved woman named Nancy, with one party attempting to recover some of the money from the sale after claiming that Nancy was sick. Documents include a form authorizing acting justice of the peace James P. Dysart to receive written depositions from Jane Montgomery and Dr. B.W. Nowlin, as well as Nowlin's full deposition.

Nowlin's testimony claims that Nancy was in good health. He also describes Nancy as "unruly and disposed to inculcate bad principles in her children," including "high temper with a disposition to disobey commands," and notes that his mother, Mary Nowlin, intended to sell Nancy to someone outside of the neighborhood in order to intentionally separate her from her children. These descriptions, though given from Nowlin's perpective, provide documentation of methods enslaved people used to subvert the slavery system.

United States Army, Military Correspondence Regarding Accusations Against African American Soldiers in Tennessee, 1865 September 20-December 23. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of United States military correspondence regarding accusations of "bad conduct" leveled by white Tennessee citizens against the African American troops stationed there in the months immediately following the American Civil War. An initial September 20, 1865, letter from newspaper writer and former Confederate soldier J.P. (John Polk) Pryor in Memphis, Tennessee, to President Andrew Johnson (1808-1875) is accompanied by two clippings (September 17-20, 1865) from the Memphis Argus that contain circled articles about Johnson's Reconstruction policies, as well as an article titled "The Negro Soldiers" accusing African American soldiers stationed in Tennessee of threatening "white humanity." Notes on the back of the letter indicate that the contents were referred to Major General George Henry Thomas (1816-1870). Another cover sheet with notes from October 25 to November 9, 1865, indicates that the materials were referred to the Headquarters of the Department of Tennessee, Major General George Stoneman (1822-1894), and finally, to General John E. Smith (1816-1897) who later returned them along with a report regarding his investigation into the allegations. Smith's four-page report to Brevet Brigadier General A.J. Alexander (1833-1887), dated November 9, 1865, concludes that the complaints about African American soldiers published in the Memphis Argus were "greatly exaggerated" but nonetheless recommends discontinuing the deployment of African American troops in the South. There is an additional cover sheet with notes from November 9 to December 22, 1865, by Major General George H. Thomas and Assistant Adjutant General W.A. Nichols, circulating the report back to the President and the Secretary of War. The final item is a December 23, 1865, cover letter from Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton (1814-1869) to President Andrew Johnson.

Vincent, Joseph H., Dr.. Vincent, Dr. Joseph H., Account for Medical Treatment of Enslaved People on the Plantation of Colonel John McNeil, 1842-1844. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a running account for physician Dr. Joseph H. Vincent's medical work on people enslaved at Colonel John McNeil's cotton plantations in Autauga and Coosa Counties, Alabama. McNeil was listed in the 1840 census for Nixburg, Coosa County, as a man in his 50s residing with one younger white woman (apparently his orphaned niece) and 46 enslaved people. Dr. Joseph H. Vincent made 34 visits to the plantations between May and November 1843, before the Colonel's death on December 7th. These visits are listed in detail, and include entries for interventions such as opening abscesses, treating blisters, pulling teeth, fitting a truss, and addressing gynecologic conditions. There is also an entry for the "treatment of gonorrhea," which may have been for McNeil as no name is listed. The running account was written in a ledger book but later cut out and submitted to the estate for payment, which was settled on January 30th, 1844, when it was docketed on the second page and signed by a justice of the peace.

Vinton, Josiah, 1755-1843. Vinton, Josiah, Account Book on Stone Shipping in Braintree, Massachusetts, 1806-1811. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a 68-page account book kept by Josiah Vinton (1755-1843), a stone shipping merchant based in Braintree, Massachusetts, during the embargo period. Entries document the employment of dock workers, also known as longshoremen or stevedores, some of whom were likely African American. Names of workers listed include Plato Turner, Daniel Ramsdell, Titus Drake, Jacob Terrell, Daniel Hunt, Joseph Pratt, and others. The Plato Turner listed here was most likely Plato Turner Sr., an African American Revolutionary War veteran who founded Parting Ways, a community of freedpeople near Plymouth, Massachusetts. Turner is mentioned numerous times between 1808 and 1811 at Vinton Stone Company of Braintree, Stephenson's Wharf, Tyletson's, and Pierce, Loring, and Long Wharf.

The account book deals with freight, primarily tons of stone purchased by Josiah Vinton from local suppliers and sent by ship from Braintree to Boston Harbor ports. The return freight sometimes included lime, molasses, cords of wood, dung, plaster of Paris, and once, a shipment of seaweed from the town of Hull. Vinton's suppliers included Jacob Denton, Moses French, Daniel Hollis, Alexander White, Elijah Penniman, Asaph Faxon, and Benjamin Bowditch, and his customers included Theodore Lyman, John Rice & Co., Captain Caleb Loring, Nathan Glover, and the Union Society, among others. In an entry made on August 26th, 1807, the account book also mentions Captain Amasa Delano (1763-1823), who was a model for Herman Melville's Benito Cereno.

Vinton

Wade, Nellie Martin. Wade, Nellie Martin, "Through Interior Alaska on Horseback and the Scenic Coast Route" Manuscript, 1907-1928. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a notebook containing the original handwritten draft of Nellie Martin Wade's unpublished book, "Through Interior Alaska on Horseback and the Scenic Coast Route." Claiming on her manuscript's title page that she was the "first woman to explore the Great Shushitna Valley and the Mt. McKinley Range," Wade documents her own travels in the Alaska wilderness and provides her perspective on the region's history, the Aleut people and other indigenous Alaskans, the landscape, Klondike Gold Rush towns and mining operations, and settler industries. The manuscript, which spans 200 pages, tells the story of Wade and her traveling party's journey from Puget Sound to Cook's Inlet on the steamer Portland, and their trips on smaller steamers traveling up the Sasut Na' (Susitna) and Yentna Rivers through interior Alaska towards Denali (which Wade refers to as Mount McKinley). The manuscript includes corrections, instructions for photograph placement and typography, as well as a platinum photograph of the author. While the manuscript dates from 1907, the portrait of Wade is from 1928 and is inscribed "To my dear Girl from Aunt Nell." The introduction credits a Mr. Nagley and James Ballaine of the Seward Chamber of Commerce for photographs (not present) to be included in the book.

Ware family. Ware Family Civil War Papers, 1863-1865. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a small collection of family papers pertaining to the experiences of the Ware family during the American Civil War. The Wares were a white settler family, headed by Josiah William Ware (1802-1883), that owned a Virginia plantation called Springfield, where they enslaved at least twenty African Americans. Josiah W. Ware, as well as his sons James Alexander Ware (1832-1896) and Charles Alexander Ware (1841-1915), served in various roles in the military forces of the Confederate States of America. The four letters in the collection provide detailed descriptions of the military situation in western Virginia in 1863, including numerous accounts of Union raids and discussions of the role of enslaved and free Black people in warfare.

Two letters from Edmonia J. Ware (1817-1900), spouse of Josiah Ware, and Lucy Balmain Ware Lewis (1839-1866), youngest daughter of Josiah Ware, are addressed to Elizabeth "Key" Ware Britton (1837-1925), who was residing in Texas with her husband, Dr. Edward Britton, a Confederate surgeon. These letters offer first-hand accounts of warfare on the Virginia homefront from the perspective of white Confederate women, as well as provide evidence that many enslaved people (described as "servants") began leaving the Springfield plantation during the final years of the war. The remaining two letters were written by Josiah Ware to his son, James Ware, who was then serving with the Confederate Texas Rangers near Corpus Christi, Texas, and contain commentary on military operations, conditions of Confederate soldiers, and interactions with free and self-liberated African Americans.

Other items include a parole form for Charles Alexander Ware executed nine days after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House, a carte de visite photograph of General Turner Ashby, and an ambrotype of Josiah W. Ware.

Wheeler, Sarah. Wheeler, Sarah, Journal of a Tour from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Long Branch, New Jersey, 1798 July-August. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a sixteen-page manuscript travel journal written by Sarah Wheeler recording her trip from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Long Branch, New Jersey, and back again during the summer of 1798. Wheeler and her three traveling companions set out from Philadelphia on July 25th, 1798. Along the way, she records details regarding travel conditions, lodging, her opinions of the countryside and towns, and time spent near the Atlantic Ocean. She also mentions meeting New Jersey's Federalist Governor Richard Howell on August 4th. The travel party looped their way through Burlington, Monmouth, Long Branch, Englishtown, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, before returning to Philadelphia, covering about 170 miles by wagon in eleven days. From the nature of the text, it is likely that Wheeler wrote out the account shortly after returning to Philadelphia on August 5th.

Sarah Wheeler's exact identity is unknown, but she may be the Sarah Wheeler who married John Johnson, Jr., of Germantown, and lived at the Germantown estate of Upsala.

Whipple (1808-1900), both of whom were involved in the radical abolitionist movement during the American Civil War. Writing from Hopedale and Worcester, Massachusetts, James Whipple describes his travels to Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, during 1861 and 1862. In his first letter, he mentions seeing thousands of troops lined up for review; attending sessions of Congress to hear John P. Hale, Lyman Trumbull, Hiram Wilson, Charles Sumner, Owen Lovejoy, Robert Wickliffe, Andrew Johnson, and other political figures speak about slavery; visiting government buildings in Washington D.C.; and meeting President Abraham Lincoln. In writing about his discussions with enslavers and enslaved people in Maryland, he reflects on the ignorance of white enslavers and describes enslaved African Americans as "the best part of society." The second letter discusses the political situation in the United States and mentions George B. Cheever, Gerrit Smith, Horace Greeley, and Wendell Phillips.

His brother, Charles Whipple, was also involved in the abolitionist movement as a member of the Vigilance Committee in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and the New England Non-Resistance Society.

Letters from Thomas Wolfe to Katherine Jackson include a four-page autograph letter sent from London on March 29, 1935, and a printed Christmas card with an undated autograph note. Jackson was an editor at Scribner's Magazine, working with Maxwell Perkins, and later at Harper's Magazine, where she wrote the "Books in Brief" column from 1944 to 1969. Her work placed her in contact with many prominent writers and scholars of the day, many of whom she befriended, including Thomas Wolfe. In his March 1935 letter, Wolfe describes feeling isolated from America, a restless night in Paris, and his upcoming plans to travel to Denmark and Russia. He also requests information from Jackson about his forthcoming book, Of Time and the River. Also present is a carbon copy of a letter Jackson wrote to her parents on January 3, 1936, describing a road bump in her friendship with Wolfe after Jackson told Wolfe that it was not prudent to publish stories in magazines as opposed to books, causing a stir between Wolfe and editor Max Perkins, who later diffused the conflict.

Wood, L. F., Sharecropping Agreement with Fifteen Freedmen and Freedwomen on the Mount Hope Plantation, Mississippi, 1865 May 25-August 23. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a sharecropping agreement between L. F. Wood of the Mount Hope Plantation in Jefferson County, Mississippi, and fifteen freedmen and freedwomen. The contract is signed by Wood, two witnesses, and the freedmen and freedwomen by mark and dated May 25, 1865. Names listed include Isham Bass (46), Robert Bass (15), Richard Thompson (46), Eliza Thompson (45), Daniel Thompson (15), Emeline Darnald (38), Hager Curtis (52), Prince Miller (17), Minda Miller (28), Rachel Williams (46), Matilda Fitzgerald (21), Edward Johnson (40), Hester Johnson (30), Cornelia Griffin (18), and Perry Christmas (19).

Kunitz, Stanley, 1905-2006.. Wood Works Press, Broadside of "Touch Me" by Stanley Kunitz, 2000-2002. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Signed by Stanley Kunitz. 109/190.

Kunitz, Stanley, 1905-2006.

Biographical / Historical

Stanley Kunitz was born on July 29, 1905, in Worcester, Massachusetts. His parents, Yetta Helen and Solomon Z. Kunitz, both Eastern European immigrants, owned and operated a dress manufacturing company in Worcester. After graduating from Classical High School, Kunitz left Worcester to attend Harvard University. In 1926 he received his bachelor's degree with highest honors and was also awarded the Garrison Medal for Poetry by the University. Kunitz remained in Cambridge to earn a master's degree, which he completed in 1927. At this time, Kunitz returned to Worcester, where he worked as a feature reporter for the daily newspaper, The Worcester Telegram ; however, Kunitz grew weary of his hometown rather quickly and so left for New York City in 1928 in search of more interesting prospects.

In New York City Kunitz secured a position at the H. W. Wilson Company, where he edited, either alone or collaboratively, seven reference works of literary biography and the Wilson Library Bulletin . Kunitz's first H. W. Wilson book, Living Authors: A Book of Biographies , was published in 1931 under the pseudonym "Dilly Tante," and his final Wilson book, European Authors, 1000-1900 , was published in 1967. The H. W. Wilson Company offered Kunitz a great deal of freedom to pursue his literary interests. For instance, Kunitz was permitted to go abroad in 1929-1930, during which time he polished the poems (and worked on an unfinished novel) that would become, upon his return from Europe in 1930, his first published book of verse, Intellectual Things . Kunitz was also able to maintain his position at H. W. Wilson despite having relocated from New York City to a farm in Mansfield Center, Connecticut around 1931 with his first wife, Helen Pearce (married 1930-1937).

Although Kunitz continued to edit reference books for H. W. Wilson Company through the 1960s, he relinquished his position in 1943 when he was drafted into the U. S. Army. Initially Kunitz petitioned to be classified as a conscientious objector, but the Army denied his request, forcing Kunitz to serve in the military with the Air Transport Command for the duration of the war. During his enlistment, Kunitz published his second book of poetry, Passport to the War (1944), which was inspired by his wartime experiences.

After his release from the service in 1945, Kunitz lived briefly in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and then accepted his first teaching position at Bennington College in 1946. This was to be the first of many such positions for Kunitz, who continued to teach through the 1980s but remained determined to put writing before teaching, never accepting a tenure-track faculty position. He left Bennington College precipitously in 1949 after a dispute with an administrator and took a position at Potsdam State College (now SUNY College at Potsdam), Potsdam, New York, as the curriculum advisor to the English Department. Here, he also taught summer workshops from 1949 to 1953. During this brief (1949-1950) stay in Potsdam, Kunitz's second wife, Eleanor Evans (married 1939-1958) gave birth to their daughter, Gretchen.

In 1950 Kunitz again found himself in New York City, where he held numerous teaching positions at various universities, colleges, and institutions, including The New School for Social Research (1950-1957), the Poetry Center of the 92nd Street YM-YWHA (1958-1962), Queens College (1956-1957), and Columbia University as a lecturer (1963-1966) and then as an adjunct professor of writing (1967-1985). He also held teaching positions further afield in such places as the University of Washington, where he was the poet-in-residence (1955-1956), Brandeis University (1958-1959), Yale University (1971, fellow since 1969), Rutgers University (1974), and Princeton University (1978-1979). In 1958 he married the painter and poet Elise Asher (1912-2004), with whom he spent the rest of his life.

Aside from teaching, Kunitz was an active member of the greater literary community. In 1968 he helped found the Fine Arts Work Center, an artists' colony in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and continued to be a stalwart supporter of the Center, evident in his service on the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, and the writing division. As the editor of the Yale Series of Younger Poets from 1969 to 1977, Kunitz gave rise to a new generation of poets, including such well-known poets as Carolyn Forché and Michael Ryan. Kunitz was also a member of the Academy of American Poets and the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He served as the Poetry Consultant for the Library of Congress (1974-1976) and, along with Elizabeth Kray, founded Poets House in New York City in 1985. At the age of 95 Kunitz was named U.S. Poet Laureate, a post he served for two years (2000-2001). Internationally Kunitz participated in a number of cultural exchange programs, which included trips to Russia and Poland in 1967, to Senegal and Ghana in 1976, to Russia again in 1979, and to Israel and Egypt in 1980.

Kunitz's other publications include Selected Poems, 1928-1958 (1959), for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in 1959, The Testing-Tree (1971), The Terrible Threshold (1974), The Poems of Stanley Kunitz: 1928-1978 (1979), Next-to-Last Things (1985), and Passing Through (1995), for which he received the 1995 National Book Award, The Collected Poems of Stanley Kunitz (2000) and The Wild Braid (2005), a book he co-wrote with Genine Lentine. In 1975 Kunitz published a book of prose entitled A Kind of Order, A Kind of Folly . He edited The Poems of John Keats (1964) and The Essential Blake (1987). In addition Kunitz has also been involved in translating poetry into English. He collaborated with Max Hayward on Poems of Akhamatova (1973) and, with others, translated Andrei Voznesenskii's Story under Full Sail (1974). In 1978 he edited and co-translated the Ukrainian poet Ivan Drach's Orchard Lamps .

In addition to the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Kunitz won other prestigious awards, which include a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (1945-1946), National Institute of Arts and Letters Award (1959), Academy of American Poets fellowship (1968), National Endowment for the Arts senior fellowship (1984), Bollingen Prize in Poetry, Yale University Library (1987), and the National Medal of Arts (1993).

Equally lauded for his talents as a gardener, Kunitz's Provincetown, MA home featured a sprawling, multi-tiered garden that he had coaxed from sand. His final book, The Wild Braid: A Poet Reflects on a Century in the Garden (2005), co-written with Genine Lentine, reveals the interconnectedness of his writing and gardening habits. A few months shy of his 101th birthday, Stanley Kunitz died at his home in New York City.

Wordin, Helen Caroline, 1842-. Wordin, Helen "Nellie" Caroline, Diary, 1858-1893. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a manuscript diary spanning forty-five years in the life of Helen "Nellie" Caroline Wordin (1842- ), an educated, single white woman living in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the 19th century who attended school in Petersburg, Virginia, during the outbreak of the American Civil War.

Wordin began keeping the diary when she was fifteen years old, with early entries documenting school, Congregationalist church activities, social calls with other girls, work with the Ladies Missionary Society, attendance at lectures and debates, music lessons, and visits to neighboring towns. She also references signficant events, including the execution of John Brown, the transmission of the first transatlantic telegram from Queen Victoria to President James Buchanan, and the appearance of Donati's comet. The entries from 1860 and 1861 cover Wordin's time in the South leading up to and during the first month of the Civil War. She recounts her journey by steamer from New York, landing in Norfolk, Virginia, on October 8th, 1860. Entries from this time period reference her studies of Latin and Greek and social and leisure activities while living in Petersburg, Virginia. She also comments on enslaved children she encounters at a tour of a tobacco plantation and describes "secession talk at the table in the evening." Wordin records major events such as the inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln, the secession of South Carolina, the formation of the Confederate States of America, the Battle of Fort Sumter, and the Baltimore riot of 1861. Shortly after, she describes her travels home in late April 1861, mentioning her passenger ship being stopped and examined by soldiers, as well as a trip she made to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before returning home to Connecticut. The rest of the diary covers Wordin's later life in Bridgeport, including details of her relationships with several suitors, family members, and friends; the deaths of her parents and the illness of her sister; and her efforts to defend her father's will in court.

The early entries come every few days, but over the years, Wordin wrote less frequently, often summarizing events that had occurred over the course of several months. The first fifty-three pages cover the period from 1858 to the end of the Civil War in 1865, picking up again in 1871, after which Wordin covers most years of her life in four to six pages, until stopping abruptly in 1893.

Biographical / Historical

Helen Caroline Wordin, also known as Nellie, was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1842. Her father, Nathaniel Sherwood Wordin, operated a successful Bridgeport drugstore that her grandfather had founded in 1808. Along with her brother, Nathaniel Eugene "Gene" Wordin, Nellie Wordin was sent to Petersburg, Virginia, in October 1860, where she studied Latin and Greek before returning home after the outbreak of the American Civil War. She contined to live in her family home in Bridgeport with family members until at least 1910. Despite having several suitors, Wordin chose not to marry.

Glass Plate Negatives Depicting an African American Community at Nicodemus, Kansas, circa 1877-1890. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of eight glass plate negatives taken by an unknown photographer, documenting an African American community in the Great Plains or Semi-Arid West, which is likely Nicodemus, Kansas, a town in Graham County in northwestern Kansas founded by formerly enslaved people in 1877. The images depict African American people living on the Great Plains during the Reconstruction Era. Most shots show subjects posed in front of modest frame structures, including what appears to be a church or school building and a commercial structure. The landscape is clearly arid and flat, with occasional stands of deciduous trees visible in the background. The dwellings all appear to be of very recent construction at the time the images were made, with several showing saplings of recently-planted trees.

Photograph Album Depicting the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition and South Dakota Mining Towns, 1898. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an album containing fifty albumen photographs taken by an unidentified amateur photographer of a tour through South Dakota and Nebraska before and during the 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. The photographer and their traveling party visited mining camps and nearby towns in South Dakota before proceeding to Omaha, Nebraska, for the exposition. Once in Omaha, the photographer documented much of the exposition, including around ten images of President William McKinley participating in President's Day activities on October 12th, 1898. William Jennings Bryan and General Nelson Miles are also pictured with McKinley.

The first seventeen images capture scenes in and around the mining town of Terraville, in Lawrence County, South Dakota, about three miles southwest of Deadwood. These photographs show the Black Hills & Fort Pierre Railroad, street scenes in Terraville (and possibly also the nearby mining camp of Lead), local people, mining scenes, and interior shots of saloons. The remaining thirty-three photographs record the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. These images document the exhibition grounds, buildings, and structures, including a large tipi and an electrified likeness of President McKinley.

Diary of a Teacher in Orange, New Jersey, 1856 January 1-April 14. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a handwritten diary kept by an unidentified young woman who lived independently away from her family and worked as an elementary school teacher in Orange, New Jersey, in the mid 19th century. The diary spans 89 pages and documents several months in the author's life in early 1856, with the exception of a gap in February. The author's entries are deeply reflective and critically examine topics including selfhood, the professional duties of a teacher, how personal and professional lives intersect, as well as gender and content from church sermons. In addition to teaching, she also describes taking French lessons; attending lectures by poet Park Benjamin and Princeton geologist Arnold Guyot and another on gendered behavior; and her relationships with students, colleagues, friends, family, and an unnamed suitor (whom she refers to as "the beaux"). As the diary progresses, the author discusses her increased discontent with gendered limitations placed on her life, clashes with the school administration over her pedagogy and desire to discuss women's rights with her female students, and her plans to leave the school. By the diary's end, she has left the school and found employment teaching a class of boys at Public School No. 1.

Photograph of an African American Mining Team, circa 1880. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an albumen photograph depicting 23 African American miners and two white (presumed) overseers. Some of those pictured are holding mining implements, and several are children. They are outside of a hoist house, the structure covering the winch that lifted containers of mineral out of the earth and where miners descended. While the photograph's subjects and location are unidentified and its creator is unknown, a faint name in pencil on the back of the image reads "G. (or Geo. ) Hearst." This could be the George Hearst who was a United States Senator and the father of William Randolph Hearst. Hearst purchased the Ontario silver mine in Park City, Utah, in 1872 and also had mining interests in Nevada and Montana, so it is possible the photograph was taken at one of his mining operations.

Photograph Album of Alaskan Gold Mining Towns, circa 1900. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an album containing twenty-four photographs with printed captions depicting Nome, Juneau, and other locations in Alaska around the turn of the 20th century during the latter years of the Alaskan gold rush. The majority of the album captures images of Nome shortly after the 1898 discovery of gold. One of the captions covering three of the photographs reads, "Mining on the Beach. Nome, Alaska." Other views include Nome from a distance, showing the hundreds of tents housing the prospectors; a house in Nome belonging to one of the album organizer's friends; sled dog teams; Fourth of July celebrations; and businesses such as Wyatt Earp's Dexter Saloon, the Hunter Saloon, the Northern Saloon, and the J.F. Giese Hardware Store. There are also several views of Juneau, including a street scene, a brewery housed in the first church in Juneau, and a canoe named the "Whalekiller," as well as images of totem poles in Wrangle, Alaska, and the Muir Glacier near Skagway. The name of the photographer is unknown.

Photographs of U.S. Department of the Interior, Indian Service Library and Motion Picture Service, Visits to Native American Schools in Arizona, 1937-1939. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of forty-one photographs of Indigenous students and adults, white teachers, and United States government officials operating mobile libraries at ten different Native American day and boarding schools in Arizona during the New Deal era. According to handwritten annotations on the backs of photographs, these schools are identified as the Casa Blanca Day School in what is now the Gila River Indian Community (Bapschule, Arizona); Quajote Day School (possibly Quijotoa); Phoenix Indian School; Fresnal Canyon; Fort McDowell Day School in what is now the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation; and five schools in or near what is now the Tohono O'odham Nation (referred to in the captions as the Papago Indian Reservation and Sells, Arizona), including the Kerwo, Vamori, Choulic, Chuichu, and Santa Rosa Ranch day schools. According to a list maintained by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, Phoenix Indian School and Santa Rosa Ranch were also boarding schools. Based on the locations of these schools, the children photographed likely include those from Tohono O'odham, Akimel O'odham (Pima), Pee-Posh (Maricopa), and Yavapai communities, and possibly others. While children at boarding schools were forcibly taken from their homes, Indigenous children attending both day and boarding schools during this time period were subject to brutal assimilationist policies by the United States government and school staff.

These images document visits to the schools by mobile libraries operated by the United States Department of the Interior's Department of Indian Service Library and Motion Picture Service. Although the photographer is unknown, the images may have been taken and captioned by government officials who drove the two buses marked as "U.S. Department of the Interior – Indian Service Library and Motion Picture Service" and "U.S.I.S. Traveling Library." One of the officials posing with the former bus is identified as Pierre and can be seen in one image setting up chairs and a screen for an outdoor film screening. Most of the photographs show students posed with teachers and school staff in front of schools or with the mobile libraries, while others depict the grounds and buildings of various schools, as well as scenes of the Arizona desert. The teachers, all but one of whom are white women, are identified by name in the captions as Katherine S. Shorten, June Steele, Maxine Brubacker, Mary Blochbinger, Grace Taylor, Edna Harris, Miss Pike, and R. E. Meyer. Some photographs also include Indigenous adults who are described in the captions as bus drivers and housekeepers. Salina Enos is the only Indigenous person described by her name in a caption, and she is photographed both with a class and with her cousins at the Quajote Day School.

Photographs of Yakama Fishermen at Celilo Falls, circa 1953-1956. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a group of fourteen photographs and ephemera, mostly documenting Yakama (Yakima) fishermen at Celilo Falls on the Columbia River, which forms the border of Oregon and Washington. Based on contextual clues, the people in the photographs are likely citizens of the Yakama Nation, but they may also include people from the Umatilla and Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs communities, who also fished at the traditional trading area and sacred fishing grounds at Celilo Falls. Most of the photographs depict people fishing on wooden platforms, and several others show a family in ceremonial clothing. In 1957, the United States government flooded Celilo Falls to create the Dalles Dam despite opposition from Indigenous groups. One photograph of an unidentified group of people is stamped by Louise Phillips, a photographer with a studio at 5936 NE 42nd Ave. in Portland, Oregon, though it is unclear whether she is the photographer of the rest of the images. These photographs, which have been removed from an unlabeled album, were preceded by two ephemeral items. One is a newspaper clipping of a letter to the editor from Charles Castner, describing resistance by the Yakama people to the United States government's efforts to force Indigenous peoples to sell their fishing rights to Celilo Falls. The other is a slip of paper that reads, "PSA Field Trip Sept. 27, 1953," and has the name Al Chapuiau (possibly the assembler of the materials) written along the top.

Photograph Albums of Views along the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad, circa 1897. 1 box.

Scope and Contents

Consists of two photograph albums containing 97 large format photographs, taken by an unknown photographer, of views along the route of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. At the time the photographs were taken, the railroad was newly completed with a terminus at Port Arthur, Texas, named after the railroad's founder, Arthur Stilwell (1859-1928), who established several other townsites along the way, including Mena and De Queen, Arkansas; Stilwell, Oklahoma; De Ridder and De Quincy, Louisiana; and Nederland, Texas. The images in the albums show aspects of the railroad itself, including tracks, depots, and trains, as well as the surrounding landscape and nearby settler economic development, including ranches, orchards, vineyards, lumber mills, logging operations, manufacturing plants, and waterworks for local cities. Other images show a boarding house, young men fishing, a park, the springs at Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and family members posing in front of a small house. Three photographs of Port Arthur, Texas, show a downtown depot, restaurant, and bars.

The photographs depict people with animals, wagons, and small houses. One of the photographs may have been taken near Stillwater, Oklahoma. The photographer is unidentified.

Worden, Willard, 1868-1946. Photographs of Chinatown, San Francisco, circa 1900-1910. 20 items.

Scope and Contents

Consists of 20 black and white photographic prints of various places and people in Chinatown, San Francisco. Some photographs are marked as being locations on Dupont Street or Waverly Place. One photograph was taken of Bartlett Alley. The majority of the prints are of street views with some images of storefronts, store interiors, and restaurant interiors. Some of the stores depicted include Sun Kam Wah, Sang Kee, and Sing Fat & Co. A few of the prints depict the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, with one image depicting the aftermath of the disaster on Dupont Street. One photograph depicts a dragon dance performance being presented in a very crowded street.

There are several portrait photographs of Chinese Americans. A couple of these feature a single person inside or in front of their store. There are two group photographs, one of which appears to depict a family in front of their ancestral shrine, but they are looking away from the photographer. The other group photograph is of three women, three children, and a man seated on park benches. Most of the people are looking at the photographer. The inscription, "Chinese Family," is in negative on the print, though it is not clear how these people are related, or if they are.

Several of the images include inscriptions in negative of a photographer named "Perkins," often with additional captions describing the photograph, though in most prints this information is cropped out (e.g. "Chinese Restaurant Interior"). One other photographer identified in this collection of photographs is Willard E. Worden. There are also images from Shaw & Shaw and James O. Rue, as indicated by stamps on the reverse of the photograph. These photography studios are associated specifically with images taken of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, though most of the images of Chinatown appear to be prior to the disaster.

Biographical / Historical

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1923, Ulli Steltzer emigrated to the United States in 1953 with her two children. After teaching music and developing photographs in Massachusetts and New York, Steltzer moved to Princeton in 1957 to accept a job as a professional photographer for the Princeton Packet, whose Tulane Street studio she worked from for much of the next two decades. In addition to taking portraits of many prominent Princeton intellectuals and visitors from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, she also made frequent trips across the United States in her red Volkswagen to photograph and interview African American families in the South, as well as Hopi, Navajo, and Pueblo peoples in New Mexico and Arizona. In 1972, Steltzer relocated her studio to Vancouver, British Columbia, where she befriended several prominent Haida artists, including carvers Robert Davidson and Bill Reid, who would become her frequent collaborators. Steltzer documented the art, culture, and traditions of the Haida and other coastal tribes, as well as the Inuit, with whom she lived for several months. Traveling widely throughout the Americas and Asia during her long career, Steltzer also documented life in Southern California, Guatemala, Cuba, China, and India, with a recurrent focus on immigrant communities and native peoples. Her photographs have been exhibited widely in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and have appeared in at least a dozen photographic books and collaborations.

Bussy, Dorothy, 1865-1960. Correspondence from Dorothy and Simon Bussy to Auguste Bréal, 1919-1940. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Dorothy Bussy translated Auguste Bréal's book on Diego Velázquez in 1905, and their correspondence reflects this friendship. She additionally writes about taking on the translation of Bréal's work on the life of Philippe Berthelot. Much of her correspondence with Bréal touches on her literary interests.

In Simon Bussy's letters, he primarily writes to Bréal of the people in his social circles, of their personalities and goings-on, with a lesser focus on his painting, art, and literary interests. He writes about André Gide, Somerset Maugham, and Henri Matisse, as well as of Roger Fry's death, and Roger Martin du Gard's post-Nobel attempts at anonymity.

Bussy

Biographical / Historical

Dorothy Bussy (née Strachey) (1865-1960) was an English novelist and translator, close to the Bloomsbury Group. She was educated at the Marie Souvestre girls' school at Les Ruches, Fontainebleau, France and later in England when Souvestre removed the school to Allenswood there. She was later a teacher with Souvestre.

In 1903, Dorothy married the French painter, Simon Bussy (1870–1954), who knew Matisse, and was on the fringes of the Bloomsbury circle.

Bussy anonymously published one novel, Olivia, in 1949, printed by the Hogarth Press, the publishing house founded by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Bussy's novel was translated into French and appeared in France with an introduction by Rosamond Lehmann.

Bussy

Biographical / Historical

Albert Simon Aimé Bussy (1870-1954) was a French painter who married the English novelist Dorothy Bussy. He knew and painted many members of the Bloomsbury circle.

Bussy was born in Dole, France, and went from the drawing school there to Gustave Moreau's studio in the École des beaux-arts de Paris, where he met and became friends with Henri Matisse. He showed a Portrait of Albert Machado in 1896. In 1897 he had his first solo exhibition at the Durand-Ruel gallery in Paris.

In 1901 Bussy visited London, where he came into contact with members of some English artistic circles, especially the Bloomsbury Group, and where he met Dorothy Strachey, who became his wife in 1903. Shortly after the wedding Simon and Dorothy moved to Roquebrune Cap Martin, in the south of France, where their house soon became a meeting point for French and English artists, writers and intellectuals.

Bussy was successful in the 1920s and 1930s, but his appreciation by both the public and critics declined after this time. He died in London in 1954, at the age of 88.

He became interested in photography in the early 1920s and opened his own photography studio in 1923. Miyatake won many awards for his photography, including the 1926 London International Photography Exhibition. During World War II, the United States government incarcerated Miyatake and his family at the Manzanar concentration camp. He smuggled a camera lens and film plate into the camp against government orders. Another prisoner built a box to house the lens and a former client and hardware salesman procured film for him. Eventually he asked Ralph Merritt, the camp director, to give him permission to take photos, which led to Miyatake being designated the official Manzanar photographer. While incarcerated at Manzanar, Miyatake met and began working with Ansel Adams. The two men published Two Views of Manazar together. After World War II, Miyatake and his family returned to their home in Los Angeles and Miyatake reopened his photo studio where he worked until retiring in 1960. He passed away in 1979.

In this narrative, Chapman examines the legal arguments and precedents supporting the upholding of Jackson's bequest.

As noted in the genealogical information recorded in the bible, John and Cary Wills were married in 1815. The first person the bible lists as their child was Washington Fayette Wills, who was born in 1816; however, Washington Fayette Wills was likely the child of an enslaved woman and John Wills, as his name is not listed in the family's census records but he does appear in Virginia census, marriage, and death records as "mulatto" or "Black." Similarly documented are two people named Isaac, one born in 1814 and another born in 1849, both of whom are listed in census records as "mulatto" and with the surname Wills. The names of other children whose births are listed with the Wills surname include Berthier Coleman (born 1818), Anderson Morgan (born 1819), John T. (born 1822), Frances Ridley (born 1823), Richard Daniel (born 1826), Martha Betsey (born 1827), George Henry (born 1829), and Harriett Hannah (born 1832). A separate list of enslaved children who are recorded without surnames include Anney (born 1829), Tom (born 1834), Jack (born 1838), Daphney (born 1842), Jim (born 1844), Moriah (born 1846), Isaac (born 1849), and Charley (born 1862).

The bible is titled "The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" and was stereotyped by the Bible Society at Philadelphia by T. Rutt in 1812. It contains a bookplate from the Norfolk Bible Society, an organization whose mission included both evangelizing Christianity and promoting emancipation. The bible given to the Wills family was one of hundreds that the Society distributed to families in rural Virginia during the Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century. There are also a few pieces of religious ephemera and clippings tucked into it.

Biographical / Historical

The Wills family was based in Amelia, Virginia, during the 19th century. John (circa 1777-1856) and Cary Wills (née Clay, born circa 1794) were married in 1815, and they had at least eight children together. They enslaved Black people on their farm from the time of their marriage through the 1860s. Based on information from U.S. census records, two to seven enslaved people were living on their farm in any given year between 1815 and 1830. While John and Cary Wills were white, it is likely that some members of the Wills family were descended from John and Black women whom he enslaved.

Blake, Hannah. Hannah Blake and Richard Halliwell Indenture Selling Lenape Land to Thomas Cartwrite, 1698 August 16-September 29. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of a land indenture through which Hannah Blake and Richard Halliwell, co-executor, sell 250 acres of land deeded to Blake's late husband, Edward Blake, to Thomas Cartwrite. The land described in the indenture is part of Lenapehoking, the territory of the Lenape people. In the 1680s, William Penn (1644-1718) had deeded land along Chester Creek in Chester, Pennsylvania, to Edward Blake, who was a Quaker leader and assemblyman. In this document, Cartwrite, who was a yeoman, agrees to purchase the land from Hannah Blake for the initial sum of fifty pounds with additional annuity. This indenture was drafted in a time period when conflicts between Lenape people and white colonists were emerging over differing conceptions of land use as colonists attempted to dispossess the Lenape of their lands via treaties and purchases.

Ruffnerism-influenced Oratorical Manuscript Arguing in Favor of Abolition of Slavery in Virginia , circa 1848. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an anonymously written manuscript, likely used for oratorical purposes, which records an obscure, short-lived school of anti-slavery thought, called 'Ruffnerism'. The manifesto outlines arguments for abolition, borrowing from Henry Ruffner's 1847 pamphlet, Address to the People of West Virigina; shewing that Slavery is Injurious to the Public Welfare. Rather than addressing the inhumanity of slavery, it focuses on the economic consequences of slavery for white residents of Virginia, maintaining that "it keeps us [white Virginians] poor." The author compares the economies of northern states and southern states, argues slavery's moral and religious corruption of whites, laments the lack of infrastructure in the west, and concludes by outlining how slavery can be abolished in Virginia.

Includes a letter to Eastman from Nebraska Congressman Robert Evans, a legal contract between Eastman and attorneys Marion Butler and Josiah Vale, and a contract between Eastman and attorney Victor Evans. Documents offer insight into the ways the U.S. government exploited and silenced the Santee Sioux through the legal process.

The legal contract from 1914 between Eastman and Butler and Vale states that Eastman will be presenting the Santee Sioux's claims to Congress.

The legal contract from 1917 between Eastman and Victor Evans states that Eastman is employed by Evans to assist in procuring contracts with the Sioux for the prosecution of their claims against the U.S. government. The contract was rescinded in 1922.

Leduc

Biographical / Historical

Violette Leduc was a French author known for her contributions to feminist and lesbian literature during the post-World War II era. She was born in 1907 in Arras, Pas de Calais, France. Her mother, Berthe Leduc, was employed as a servant by the wealthy Protestant family of her father, André Debaralle, who refused to acknowledge Violette as his daughter. Following her mother's marriage to another man, Leduc attended boarding school but was expelled after facing discrimination based on her romantic relationships with other women. She moved to Paris in 1925 and attended the Lycée Racine briefly before dropping out to work for Plon publishing company. During this period, she had long-term overlapping relationships with Denise Hertgès, her partner of nine years and former teacher, and Jacques Mercier, whom she briefly married. Leduc's influential friendship with writer Maurice Sachs began in 1938, and she moved with him in 1942 to Normandy, where she worked as a black market trader and began to write seriously during World War II. In 1945, she met Simone de Beauvoir, who became an important literary mentor and friend who supported Leduc's writing by editing her work, helping her find a publisher, and introducing her to others in her literary circle, including Jean Genet. Éditions Gallimard published Leduc's first novel, L'Asphyxie, in 1946, though they censored part of her novel Ravages (1955), which was later published as Thérèse et Isabelle (1966). She remains best known for La Bâtarde (1964), a formally inventive autobiography that became a bestseller and object of fascination in the press based on its erotic content and discussion of topics that were then seen as culturally taboo, such as lesbian relationships, abortion, and children born outside of marriage. Leduc continued to publish fiction and autobiographical works until shortly before her death from cancer in 1972.

Les Grecs, les turcs et l' esprit public européen, circa 1801-1821. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of eighty-eight handwritten pages, part of four volumes of a diplomatic report essay in French on the possibility of declaration of a war by part of the European Forces for the occupation of Turkish territories with the participation of the Greeks most likely shortly before the declaration of the 1821 Revolution. The essay is headless, unsigned and undated. Title at the end of the fourth volume roughly translates to "The Greeks, the Turks, and the European public spirit."

This manuscript is a dissertation about the reasons for the European participation in the Greek War of Independence. In 1814, Greek nationalists formed a secret organization with the support of wealthy Greek exile communities in Britain and the United States, the aid of sympathizers in Western Europe to covert assistance from Russia, so they planned a rebellion. In Europe, the Greek revolt aroused widespread sympathy. Greece was viewed as the cradle of western civilization, and it was especially lauded by the spirit of romanticism that was current at the time. On October 20, 1827 the British, Russian and French fleets, on the initiative of local commanders but with the tacit approval of their governments, attacked and destroyed the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Navarino.

The manuscript carries on a deep and special look inside the interests of the European countries and their strong will to face the Ottoman expansion against the European christianity. The study has no author, date, and place but it has corrections and could be most probably an (unpublished?) work. Text is written only on the half right on both sides of the page in black ink; without pagination or foliation. The three volumes are numbered 1-3 at the top left-hand side corner; the fourth volume is unnumbered.

Content Description

Consists of an anonymous letter (New York, August 30, 1856) addressed to Edward Michael Davis, "... a Quaker merchant of Philadelphia, married to the daughter of Lucretia Mott, the women's rights pioneer of Seneca Falls. A fervent Abolitionist, Davis was actively involved in promoting the unsuccessful presidential candidacy of John Fremont, the first nominee of the newly-formed anti-slavery Republican Party... Fremont's presidential campaign garnered the support of Abolitionists – like the anonymous writer of this letter – who proposed to Davis a tenuous alliance of the campaign with the anti-Catholic Know Nothings (whose meetings were often disrupted by Irish Catholic mobs.) The writer was obviously a political 'insider' as well as anti-slavery true believer. His 'private' information about Pennsylvania Governor William Johnston was accurate."

Williamson, Alexander McDonald (1836-1919). Alexander McDonald Williamson Ledger, 1874-1893. 1 folder.

Content Description

Account book of Alexander McDonald Williamson (1836-1919), first mayor of Carthage, Moore County, North Carolina, Confederate prisoner of war, and carriage maker who worked for a time, perhaps as a supervisor (as he notes when people "commenced working"), for Tyson & Jones Buggy Company. The company was co-owned by William T. Jones, a formerly-enslaved African American businessman and veteran of the Confederate Army.

As documented in the ledger, Tyson & Jones Buggy Company had a large presence. There was employee housing at the facility and many of the employees, including Williamson, were paid at the company store with goods and produce.

Williamson's ledger, which documents his time with Tyson & Jones Buggy Company and other business engagements in Carthage, includes the names of many employees as well as those of customers, including members of the African American community. Some of these individuals are identified by Williamson's use of "colored" or "Col" to describe the person; others have been identified as African American via U.S. Census records. These include Calvin Black, Dock Chalmers, Adam Shaw, Adam Kelly, Harmon Goins, Lizie Harvey, Reverand Miles, Isabelle Cagle, and Charles Dowd. There is also an entry for Chatham Prisoners who came to stay and board with him, presumably as they awaited trial at the local courthouse.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an autograph manuscript travel account of a tour in Greece and the Levant, [Eastern Mediterranean 29th September 1844-4th February 1845]; (118) numbered pages excluding blanks, written in a tall quarto (25x18cm) contemporary book with blank pages, around 25-30 long lines of text per page, additionally nine (9) pages with ten botanical specimen collected from Greece. The book: contemporary British blank book of the 1840s; half-binding over hard boards; lacks most of leather on spine. Young's travel account remained, for more than a century after he passed away, unrecorded and unpublished.

Sir Frederick Young (1817-1913) was a British traveler and writer on Imperial affairs, honorary secretary of the Royal Colonial Institute (RCI). As his father (1792-1870) was an industrialist and British politician, he had the opportunity to travel around the world. He had published later some of his travel accounts (travel in New Zealand 1874, a winter Tour in South Africa 1890) as well as some other accounts on British colonial affairs, but this early lengthy travel account remained completely unknown. It is certain that he had kept the manuscript up to his death, as on the last page there is an additional handwritten paragraph signed by him. In this addition, dated 8th August 1910, he mourned the death of his wife Cecilia, long time ago.

Frederic Young arrived in Malta in late summer 1844. Αfter visiting Valetta, he sailed and landed in Corfu (Kerkyra), where he visited both the city and the country side. Several British, as Mr. Ward and his son, established there, as Corfu was a British colony at that time. From there he crossed to continental Greece, starting from Messolonghi, a famous city after the heroic exodus of 1826, then landed to Patras and continued to Piraeus and Athens. Long description, of several pages of text, about the Greek capital, few years after the independence; he had even attended the opening of the Chamber of Debuties (Vouli) and met with king Otto.

Apart from the usual monuments and neighborhoods of the city, he visited and described the dancing Dervishes' spectacle, the Friday prayers, and the bazaars.

Bonfils, Félix, 1831-1885

Biographical / Historical

Félix Bonfils was born on 8 March 1831, in St. Hippolyte du Fort (Gard), France. He was initially trained as a bookbinder, but became an amateur photographer after a short tour of duty with the army in Lebanon (1860). This introduction to the Middle East and photography would soon combine to become Bonfils' destiny. When his young son, Adrien (b. 1861), suffered from respiratory problems, Bonfils' wife, Lydie (b. 1837), took the boy to recuperate in the dry, hot climate of Beirut. Lydie fell in love with Lebanon just as Bonfils' had, and by 1867 the family definitively moved to Beirut where Bonfils set up a photographic studio.

Maison Bonfils became a prolific studio, which, Bonfils bragged in 1871, produced 591 negatives from various sites along the eastern Mediterranean, 15,000 prints, and 9,000 stereoscopic views. Bonfils also published many albums focusing on a specific region or theme. His subjects included architectural details, monuments, and city views. These photographs were popular with the many travelers who began touring the region as an extension of the European Grand Tour. As a result of his success in Beirut, Bonfils went on to open a second studio in Alès, France.

Maison Bonfils was truly a family affair: Lydie assisted her husband and took studio portraits that formed part of the Bonfils photographic collection. After Bonfils' death in 1885 while working in Alès, Adrien returned to Beirut from military service in Algeria. He took over the studio, and, together with Lydie, continued his father's work, while also producing new images and engaging in new projects. But once Adrien's interest in photography waned, Lydie stepped in to run the studio alone. She carried on the tradition of her husband and son, and produced her own photographic catalog, until 1916 when World War I forced her to evacuate. Only two years later, in 1918, Lydie passed away; she was 81 years old. Adrien died in 1929. 1

New York (State). Manuscript copy of 1688 New York Land Grant to Peter Schuyler, 1749. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

An official manuscript copy of a grant for land along the east side of the Hudson River in Dutchess County, "purchased of and from the Indyans[,] natural owners and possessors of the same."

Scope and Contents

Consists of one letter written by William Lloyd Garrison, dated April 12, 1875, to Edwin A. Studwell, President of the Sumter Club. Garrison declines Studwell's invitation to attend the Sumter Club's celebration of the 10th anniversary of the raising of the Union flag at Fort Sumter, citing his attendance of the centennial celebration of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society on the same day. Having recently read a volume recounting the events surrounding the flag raising, Garrison reminisces on receiving the news of General Lee's surrender while aboard government steamer Arago. Garrison quotes Henry Ward Beecher's oration from that day, discusses the failures of Reconstruction, and critiques the treatment of it by the press: "This 'cheap exhortation to forgetfulness of the past,' as the very thing to be done to-day, and to 'let the South alone,' though she remains essentially unreconstructed in spirit, is not only reiterated by every Northern Democratic journal, but it has given tone to the general treatment of the Southern question by the religious press for some time past."

White, George L.. Photographs of Yavapai People in Verde Valley, Arizona, circa 1923. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of six photographs taken by non-native photographer(s) – presumably, Baptist minister George L. White – during his time at Middle Verde Church in Camp Verde, Arizona.

The photographs have handwritten descriptive captions written on the verso. Five photographs have captions written in the same hand, one of which includes a caption in another hand. The sixth photograph has a caption written in this same second hand. Each of the photographs also has an ownership stamp on the verso: "Please Return to Geo. L. White 313 West 3rd St. Los Angeles, Cal."

The captions varyingly identify the people as "Mojave-Apache," "Mojave," and "Tonto [Apache]" people, but it is likely that they were Yavapai people in the Verde Valley. Often the Yavapai were mistaken as Apache by white settlers, who referred to them as "Mohave-Apache," "Yuma-Apache," or "Tonto-Apache".

Two of the photographs feature Yavapai homes made of brush, captioned, "typical homes of Mojave Apache Indians." Three of the other photographs show Yavapai people outside the Middle Verde Church for Sunday school, and a baptism. The sixth photograph shows eleven Yavapai children seated on a bench, likely also outside of a church. A few of the captions identify the people as "John Rinzie" and "Hugo Bonaha, an interpreter," as well as John's mother and father (both unnamed).

Scope and Contents

Consists of an autograph manuscript, part of a notebook (18 unnumbered pages), with the title on p. 1 "Errōtos apot[el]esmata." Contains a collection of eleven erotic folk verses of the type "Mismayia"; nine of them (nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11) come from an anonymous edition, which was printed for first time in Vienna in 1792 with the title,"Ἔρωτος ἀποτελέσματα ἤτοι Ἱστορία ἠθικοερωτικὴ μὲ πολιτικὰ τραγούδια συντεθεῖσα μὲν εἰς τὴν ἁπλῆν ἡμῶν διάλεκτον πρὸς εὐθυμίαν καὶ ἐγλεντζὲν τῶν εὐγενῶν νέων, ἀφιερωθεῖσα δὲ τῷ εὐγενεστάτῳ ἄρχοντι Μαγιόρῳ Στεφάνῳ Ἰωαννοβίκῃ, Ἐν Βιέννῃ τῆς Ἀουστρίας 1792. ἐκ τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς τυπογραφίας Γεωργίου Βεντότη"; the rest poems (nos. 1, 12) are unidentified. Νo. 7 is a repetition of the first verses of no. 1. The first edition was followed by a plagiarism in 1809, and then the collection was republished in Venice in 1816 and in 1836 in the printing houses of Glykys's and Frangiskos Andreolas, respectively. Among the verses, is the well-known one of Athanasios Diakou in the variation: "Γιὰ δὲς καιρὸ ποὺ διάλεξε ὁ Χάρος νὰ μὲ πάρη, τώρα ποὺ φύτρωσε στὴ γῆς κάθε λογῆς χορτάρι."

It is common that theses folk texts contain many spelling errors. The leaf of pages 1 and 2 is torn in half; pages 1-2 and 18 are blank. On p.16, in the lower margin, autograph note in another hand: "1818 S. Sigr Cristo Caravaniti. Conte Sigr Totor Sentini senza altro. Κόντες αὐθέντης δετορ Sαντίνη χωρὶς άλλο." Possible origin of the manuscript is the Greek island of Zakynthos. The fact that the verse of Athanasios Diakos "Γιὰ δὲς καιρὸ ποὺ διάλεξε ὁ Χάρος νὰ μὲ πάρη, ..." is included in this collection, shows the spread of similar verses throughout the Greek area regardless of the time and condition of the person that used them. Here, it is included among folk erotic poems and is said out of desperation for love.

Responsabilita Militare Degli Avvenimenti di Guerra in Albania. Typescript, 1940. 1 folder.

Scope and Contents

Consists of an original typescript report (26 pages) in Italian about the military responsibility for the disastrous Italian campaign in Albania ("Memory: Military Responsibility for the War Events in Albania"). Included is all of the 28 original attachments of his report. This archive was part of the estate of General Fernando Gelich (1889-1950), who commanded the 32nd Infantry Division "Marche," which was active in Greece/Albania/Yugoslavia in 1940-1941. However, Gelich was based in Tunisia commanding the 1st Infantry Division "Superga" at the time the report was written. There is a strong likelihood that the report was written by General Visconti Prasca ( 1889-1960), who led the disastrous invasion of Greece, or it was written by Gelich. The final sentence in the report reads: "This is the Justice that General Prasca asks." It appears to be an unpublished manuscript and does not match the text of Prasca's 1946 book explaining his failure in Greece: "Io ho aggredito la Grecia" (I attacked Greece).

Plegge, Hattie. Hattie Plegge Composition Book, circa 1898. 1 folder.

Content Description

Consists of a 43-page composition book of a young girl, which she used to practice her hand in ink and pencil by copying out popular song lyrics, folk ballads, and poetry. An ownership stamp of Hattie Plegge is on sheets toward the center of the book. The book is bound in brown paper, contains original crayon drawings, and is titled "Composition Book" on the front cover. The first page and last two pages are excised.

Although she writes no date, school year, or age in the book, her cursive and her drawings suggest that she was under the age of 12 at the time of composition. Poetry about General Grant and Abraham Lincoln, as well as an original crayon drawing of an eagle marked "Union Forever" suggest that her community belonged to the Union during the Civil War.

Some of the selections come from folk songs, such as "Billy Boy." Others are more popular tunes, such as "In the Gloaming" (1877), "On the Banks of the Wabash" (1897), and "I Guess I'll Have to Telegraph my Baby" (1898). Mixed with these are longer poems, including Alice Cary's "Suppose", suffragist Frances Willard's work "Grant is Dead" (copied out twice, the second being more careful), and Oliver Wendell Holmes' "Old Ironsides." The six simple crayon drawings include a Union eagle, a donkey, and what appears to be a schoolgirl in a cape.

Comprised of 88 pages in ink and pencil, blending lecture and reading notes with what appear to be Wagner's own drafts of analytic essays, practice lesson plans, and examination questions. Quarter cloth over marbled boards, measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Wagner's ownership signature and school information on front paste-down; second ownership signature along with Wagner's later teaching location on rear paste-down.

This notebook documents her work in a "Practical Teaching" course, which provided pedagogical methodology as well as requiring students to put methods into practice by designing usable teaching materials. Wagner's notebook is roughly divided into sections, with blanks separating each, which include practical notes such as: Introductory Consideration, Foundations and Principles, Length of Recitation, Object Lessons, and Plan of Lessons as well as sample content for lessons such as Primary Reading, Primary Numbers, and Rules of Grammar. Wagner's notes include reflections on Elements of Psychology and Pedagogies: "The powers of the child which demand the teacher's attention are the physical, the intellectual, the moral, and the spiritual" and "Before knowing can take place, there must be something to know, and the thing to be known must affect its appropriate sense." Other sections include Spelling and Definitions as well as Arithmetic Problems.

Spaight, Daisy (Mary Emma) (1882-1955). Daisy Spaight Diary, 1897. 1 folder.

Content Description

Manuscript diary comprised of 193 pages (measuring 6.75 x 8") in the single hand of fifteen year old Daisy Spaight (1882-1955), written in Hannover, Germany in 1897. The diary contains a majority of entries in English, several in German, and one in Chinese; it also contains three pages of taped-in photos and ephemera, five handwritten samples of musical notation and two original sketches. Bound in black cloth over boards with tape label to front board.

The diary begins: "If by chance I should lose this book / And you by chance should find it - / Remember Daisy is my name / And Spaight comes behind it. / Black is the raven / Black is the rook / But blacker still is the wicked cow / Who steals this book."

Spaight describes her friends and acquaintances, music and German lessons, and how she spends her days. She records attending performances of Goethe and Chopin and makes reading lists. She pays close attention to her attire, noting "in the evening I had on my new red dress - it looked lovely" (30 January), and she reports on shopping trips: "Went out with Fraulein alone and bought gloves" (1 February). Spaight slips into and out of English in her entries, often quoting others in German. She also notes which young men are attractive, dress well, speak well, or pay her compliments.

Sometimes Spaight writes, in stage-play form, the conversations she's had with others. She also documents the fashion choices of chic women she admires, and she records praise she receives: "They all thought the photo of myself quite nice" (28 February) and "I was congratulated several times for dancing" (10 March).

Speech in Support of Women's Rights, circa 1895. 1 item.

Content Description

A late 19th century manuscript speech comprised of four pages on four unlined legal sheets that was composed in a single hand in pencil by an unknown writer. Possibly an essay, the use of brackets and underlining for emphasis may imply that the present work was intended for public reading. The text is incomplete.

The speech quotes many rhetorical responses, phrases, and arguments popularized by the National Woman Suffrage Association, such as: "Taxation without representation," "Will the ballot benefit the working woman is the question of the hour," and "'The exercise of the right of the franchise will degrade woman' is a narrow minded coward's device." The speech discusses broader women's contributions--for example, to the Cotton State International Exposition and to the World's Fair at Chicago--but leans most directly into an economic argument. Tackling the anti-suffrage claim that giving women the vote or giving women equal pay will threaten male power, the writer notes that equality in both fields will be to the benefit of all parties. Income inequality, the writer reasons, is a root cause of poverty: "A man will set his price upon his labor, and if he cannot get it, will fold his hands and say 'I can't afford to work for less wages and will not,' and if there is no woman who will come to the rescue and take the position for less, the employer pays the man his price; but it is no unusual thing for the wife and daughters of the man to support him through the interim, or even longer, on half wages." Ultimately, "women who can do as efficient work as man and as much of it and are faithfull in the discharge of their duties deserve as much pay." The same argument is then applied to the franchise, to the combining of men and women's voices to create political change and to shape the future.

Fourth of July Speech on Suffrage and Women's Rights, 1884. 1 items.

Content Description

Consists of 32 manuscript pages in a single hand on lined legal paper, dated July 4, 1884. The speech appears incomplete, as the last few lines are struck through, and no conclusion exists. Addressing the patriotic speech to "Mrs. President, Gentlemen and Ladies," the unknown writer draws attention to women's unnoted roles in American history, calls attendees to action, and encourages awareness of the important and expanded roles women are already claiming across the nation.

The first ten pages recount the history of the United States beginning with Columbus and leading up to the present: "From the snow capped mountains of the North to the spicy groves of the South, we, a happy people, celebrate the birth-day of American Independence [...] On this 4th of July in the year of our Lord 1884 and the Independence of the United States of America the 108th, this is when the women of this enlightened portion of our state have attempted to demonstrate the fact that they can inaugurate and successfully carry out a plan." Drawing attention to female forebears' role in founding the nation, the speaker proclaims "it would be a serious omission if I did fail to make fitting mention of the part borne by the women -- the mothers of our country -- in these momentous affairs." The next two pages reflect on the influence of historical women from the ancient world, the Bible, and early America.

The writer continues their discussion regarding present day women: "There is much talk in these days of the rights of women, of the injustice of taxation without representation, an old subject revived of the power of the ballot in a new form, and the unlawfulness of its being withheld from women. It is claimed that if they had suffrage, there would be a revolution [...] the effort of securing this privilege will be the next step in the development of the struggle for independence in our country." Promoting the power of the vote, the speaker next reminds listeners that even without enfranchisement, women have and will continue to shape their communities: "Women need not wait for it [the vote] to be assured of the tremendous power they are already wielding for good." The orator gestures to women's roles as "educated nurses," as contributors to the field of "science which every day is opening up new and wonderful discoveries," and to new possibilities unfolding as "schools and colleges everywhere invite the student to explore the realm of knowledge." In the final lines, the speaker urges moderate involvement in the pursuit of voting and increased focus on all that women have already achieved.

Walworth, Charles Alexander (1839-1893). Charles A. Walworth and LeMoine C. Shankland Autograph Albums, 1859-1862. 2 items.

Content Description

Consists of an autograph album of Charles A. Walworth with entries dated from 1859-1862 in a variety of hands, comprising 91 handwritten pages with occasional calligraphic illustration and an additional 21 pasted-in photographs, bound in red morocco embossed in gilt and blind, measuring 7.75 x 5.25 inches; and an autograph album of Le Moine C. "Minnie" Shankland, later Walworth, with entries dated from 1859-1862 in a variety of hands and comprised of 53 handwritten pages with occasional calligraphic illustration and some entries written in shorthand. Her album is bound in brown morocco embossed in gilt and blind, measures 8 x 6.5 inches. It has three pieces of original artwork and three photographs pasted in with one newspaper clipping adhered and one Walworth armorial bookplate.

Walworth and Shankland married in 1862. Most entries in the two albums are from students of the co-educational Hudson River Institute or the all-women's Fort Plain Female Seminary and Collegiate Institute. Walworth's album also has entries from students attending a school in Ohio from 1861. Most entries are in English, although some are in French, Spanish, or shorthand. Some reference travel or the students' hometowns; several entries include ornate artwork. Overall, entries in Walworth's album are shorter compared to the lengthy poetry and personal notes of Shankland's album. Notable toward the rear of Walworth's album is a page-long poem from Shankland in 1859 including her photo (the only female portrait present): "Sweet friendship has its name / A flower of loveliest hue / I plucked it and the same / I now present to you."

The first entry in Shankland's album is a gift inscription: "May the tributes of love and friendship to be scattered here throughout this book be the sentiment of True Hearts [...] Your Friend and Teacher, Chas. A. Walworth. Fort Plain Seminary." The next page, marked in shorthand, features a photo that matches Walworth's portrait from the ownership page of his own book, accompanied by a poem titled "A Kiss He Took," apparently clipped from a newspaper.

Walworth has several teenage girls and students' entries in his album -- some who he notes as his favorites or being star pupils. Entries in Shankland's album from boarding school classmates include best wishes for her love and future happiness, implying their awareness of her romantic relationship.
