Description:
2- column news report on the front page of the New York Observer, May 19, 1870. Complete issue of the newspaper, 18 x 25 inches, 8 pages, folded in quarters, light toning to paper, slight loss at fold intersections, else good. Presbyterian clergyman who turned to journalism, Prime edited, and later owned the Observer, originally founded by Samuel F.B. Morse's brother, Sidney. Prime's books on his travels in Europe and the Middle East were popular among American readers before and after the Civil War, but this trip to Asia, on which he wrote daily newspaper columns, seems to be missing from his travel books and autobiography. In this report from Canton, he describes some curiosities of Chinese food and drink, including birds-nest soup (he brought back a high-priced nest, which he expected to be "one of the earliest importations into America"); an animal diet of the impoverished that included rats, cats, and dogs; "excellent quality" pigs; and fruits that were "poor and destitute of flavor", though… Read More

Description:
Collection of 434 letters, 1241 manuscript pages, (8 retained mailing envelopes), dated 24 January 1915 - 20 July 1919.
The bulk of the letters in this collection, 364 out of 434, were written by Harry Charles Cook to his fiancée, and later wife Frances Blanche Christian. And there are 22 letters written by Blanche to her husband Harry. In early 1916 Harry wrote from "10 Harrington Street, N.W," London, England, where he was enlisted in the Royal Engineers Post Section (REPS) during World War One. By mid-1916 his letters are addressed
"A.P.O. 3" sometimes adding
"R.E.P.S." In late 1916 his return address changes to "A.PO.S. I" and sometimes he adds "Boulogne," which means he has moved over into France. This remains his postal box. Several letters mention his address as being "1st Cav Div. Supply Column," which is the 1st Cavalry Division Supply Column." Another couple of letters have his address as being "14 General Hospital, Victoria Hotel, Boulogne," where he was laid up for a bit. Some of… Read More
