Description:
Portsmouth, NH: Portsmouth Journal, February, 1850. First Edition. Oversized tabloid broadsheet circular (60x37.50cm.); text printed in triple columns. Some splitting to previous folds affecting a couple of words with brief loss of meaning, light dust-soil to upper and lower margins, else a Very Good, still quite fresh example. Editorial composed in the wake of the repeal of the 1842 tariff and the substitution of the 1846 tariff, which the author argues has crippled the finer manufactories and precluded further development. Young additionally provides a comprehensive examination of the advantages of English mill owners over American due to easy and cheap availability of capital, including several figures for the Lowell and Lawrence mills. Not separately catalogued in OCLC, nor does the record for the serial make mention of any recorded Extras.

A western romance, set in the border country of southern Arizona. Harold Bell Wright, today little-remembered, was the best-selling author of his day and is reputed to be the first American author ever to sell a million copies of a book. Wright's popular success has often been cited as evidence of American readers' lack of discernment, one mid-century critic having famously noted: "Harold Bell Wright supplied more negative data on the literary quality of the taste of the fiction reading public than any other author. No critic has ever damned Wright with even the faintest praise." (Irving Harlow… Read More

Description:
N.p., N.d.. Original typescript, 5pp on ruled bond. Typed rectos-only. Light soil; single horizontal fold; Very Good. A highly accomplished and moving long poem written in the voice of an unemployed mill-town woman during the Great Depression. Unattributed and undated, but apparently (based on paper and degree of wear) contemporary with the events described. Whether actually written by an unemployed mill-worker's wife or by a "trained" writer adopting that voice for proletarian effect, the poem is remarkable for its unpretentious style and its graphic, realistic depiction of the tribulations of unemployed workers during the Great Depression. From its opening line: "All I've ever done in this / Damned life of mine is cry" the poem recounts a series of bleak episodes in a poor southern woman's life: "My man was workin' full - / But now the mill's down, / We're all down. / But we still gotta eat, / We still got babies to feed ... Them big guys up there, / They got their bellys full, / They got plenty… Read More
