Description
(Oregon, 1909. Softcover. Very Good. Oblong quarto (12½" x 10"). Black leatherette album. Contains approximately 280 gelatin silver prints dating from 1909-11, most measuring between 2½" x 4" and 4" x 5", corner mounted on both sides of thick black paper leaves. Most are captioned in white ink on the paper leaves. Also included are an additional 60 mostly uncaptioned photographs dating from the 1910s up through the 1930s, mounted on the leaves at the back of the album. A few photographs are partly detached or detached from the corner mounts and laid-in; with additional loose photographs and a few real photo post cards also laid in. A few prints are lightly rubbed or faded at the edges, very good. A remarkable album of images compiled by a woman from Brownville, Oregon. Notable are the many photographs of women, family members and friends, pictured at private homes and farms, out and about on various excursions, hiking or traveling in horse drawn carriages or the occasional early motor car. Included are several photos taken throughout Oregon (including Brownville, Hye Beach, Albany, Corvallis, Portland, and Ontario); Idaho (mostly along Hornet Creek, including an "Indian Woman" at Pocatello); Yellowstone National Park, California (Pasadena, Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco Bay, Monterey Bay); and the compiler's original home in Kansas (Reserve, Everest, Lost Springs, Padonia). Also included are images from Montana (including the mining camp at Hassell), Seattle, Victoria, B.C., Colorado, and Maine. Other photographs feature snapshots of male and female members, including "Uncle Julius" and others in a motor car (1909), and "Uncle Max's Threshing Machine." Among the smaller second section of later photographs are snapshots of family members out and about their home and a farm, with several images of farm animals, a group of men in uniform (WWI?), motor cars, and an early view of a Wilshire Gasoline station [California?]. Laid in are three manuscript sheets, chronicling the "Gall" family genealogy, and two clippings. There is also one loose autograph post card, posted from Idaho Falls to Padonia, Kansas (1912). A handsomely compiled album, documenting an Oregon woman's life and travels during the early years of the twentieth century.

Description
[no place]: [Earl Ashe], 1947. Privately Printed. Very Good. Prepared for Stanhope Wood Nixon and Doris Ryer Nixon by Earl Ashe in 1947. Bound in dark green buckram cloth lettered in gilt on the upper board. Hand-drawn color map on the front endpapers showing the route of the trip, signed H. E. A. '47 (Earl Ashe) in lower right corner; 65 photographs affixed to one side with captions written on the leaves. Very Good with wear, soiling and discoloration to boards. Paper residue at rear board with damp staining to margins throughout, waviness and musty odor to contents. Slight silvering to a few photographs. A unique aviation album documenting the travels of the Nixons by small plane from Miami to Nassau/Bahamas, San Salvador/Watling Island, Haiti, The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Cub before returning to Miami in the late 1940's. Photos show the plane on the tarmac in Miami, the flight attendant Betty Jones and cruise conductor, Chas. Evans; members of the small traveling group; as well as hotels, forts, distilleries, airports, territorial views from the plane and sighed at various stops along the way. Includes a large color map of the Dominican Republic published by The Hotel Jaragua, a small hand-written card for a recipe for mojitos "as mixed by The Tropicana", and a colorful label from Coama Springs Hotel in Puerto Rico. Described as a man of "many vices," Stanhope Wood Nixon (1894-1958) attended Yale University and was arrested for assault in 1914 after nearly killing a man with a large metal bolt. He joined New Jersey's Nixon Nitration Works where his father was president, becoming vice president and later head of the company. Nixon Nitration Works was the scene of a tragic explosion and disaster in 1924, killing over twenty people and destroying forty buildings. His son, Lewis Nixon III, was an Army officer for the United States and famously served for the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. He was portrayed in the popular HBO short series Band of Brothers by Ron Livingston.
