Zustand: Fair+. Offered is a super, original manuscript diary dated August, 1849 through to a final tragic entry in April, 1854. The diary was handwritten by an Indiana surveyor, farmer, politician and engineer who worked throughout Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. [While the 64 page book lacks any identifying signatures or inscription a tucked in scrap of what appears to be original poetry dated 1840 bears the name of Jeremiah Gould. The final 1854 entry is signed in a different hand with the initials V.G. likely the son Vernon which we believe adds credence to Jeremiah's authorship though more research should be done.] The diary is a fascinating and a superb telling of the author's personal life and times as he writes not just of what has happened but also his thoughts about the family's future. We learn that it is a hard life given his family suffered many attacks of fever and disease and a super portrait of pre Civil War America and there is so much to it: he and fellow surveyors find an old Indian Battle ground while on a survey; political commentary about the Whig Party, Daniel Webster including his own ambitions in local politics as he is elected to office. His children he writes about many times - Vernon, Marietta, and Robert. For example one of his sons Vernon leaves to study medicine. The town of Rochester is a focus of commentary often along with Mishawaka, Wolf Creek and Marshall County, and the Yellow River. In fact there is a great entry about crossing the river by horse. He writes about surveying his own land under an act of Congress of Sept 25th. The author was a part time teacher, rancher, and elected county surveyor in August 1851, surveying for a Solomon Pontius. He mentions in great detail his cattle, sheep and trying to raise crops. He also describes the political climate of the day and his own philosophical thoughts. Here is a snippet: Fri April 23 Went to Richland to attend court for Mother. I never saw so many ignorant a set of men nor so disorderly a court as I saw today the justice was entirely incompetent to fill his office. I am satisfied that magistrates ought not to be elected to office. For in a great majority of cases incompetent persons will be elected over worthy and competent men, while there is no one responsible for this impromptu choice. Today I had conversations with A.F. Smith related to political affairs we concluded to call a meeting of the Whig's of the county on the 22nd of March. This close's the year 1852- a year in which I have had many bright prospects and as many disappointments but on the whole out situation is somewhat improved I have paid off some debts, made some valuable improvements upon my family and in the year to come we have all been blest with health. Sept 21 I left home for the east. Arrived in South Bend in the evening took carriage 40 minutes past 11 arrived Monroe in the morning. Took passage on board steamboat about 10 min and arrived in Cleveland about 4 pm and in the morning of the 23rd arrived in Buffalo. Gould also travels for his pleasure and edification particularly when he travels east and does a super job on two and a half pages of describing his trip to The World's Fair September 1853. This was the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations a World's Fair held in 1853 in what is now Bryant Park in New York City, in the wake of the highly successful 1851 Great Exhibition in London. The New York Fair also had a Crystal Palace. He also went directly to the Mechanics Fair in Boston on September 30th and he writes a couple of short paragraphs. The tragedy contained in this diary is dramatic and saddening to read. Shortly after the author attends the World's Fair his wife suddenly gets ill and then dies of this illness. Within a year the Author perishes as well from "Typhus". In the Winter of 1851 I wrote to M.D. Smith of Ohio for a flock of sheep June 1st 1851 Vernon left home to study medicine under the instruction of Dr. Brokett July 5th I purchased 500 sheep of Smith. In the fa. Manuscript.…

Zustand: Good. On offer is a very unique original manuscript Japanese World War II diary handwritten by a hospitalized soldier, perhaps even a doctor, date March to September, Showa 14 [1939]. Over 68 pages of entries we learn that Mr. Nakahashi contracted malaria in China and was sent to hospitals in Nanking and then Shanghai to recover. His ordeal with the illness with wartime China as the backdrop makes for a unique perspective of the start to the conflict. We also learn he is a soldier, philosopher, devoted husband and overall a wonderful diarist. Here are snippets: April 18 The life in hospital is boring as usual, but it can't be helped. Mr. Tanimura brought some package from Mr. Hirata. I was glad so I sent a thank you letter. Yamanaka came to see me as usual. 19 I sent a card to my kid. ---day seems to get closer for him (her). I wonder what's gonna happen. 21 The patients at army hospital are different from the hospital in Tanchi(?) 26 This is a very beautiful morning. The view from this second floor is beautiful like a painting. I hear the mental patient from downstairs saying something loud. I feel sorry for him. Some young people came to see patients in women hospital. Life is a fate but we can make an effort as well. 27 I feel very sick, probably because of medicines. Yamanaka went back to the army and we talked about our hometown everyday so I miss it very much. I wish I was well, I can't believe I'm in the hospital; is God up there laughing at me or punishing me? I feel lonely. I read -ko (his wife)'s letter thoroughly today. 10 or more planes in the sky all day today. Here seems same as my hometown. I want to go home but feel like not going back. After dinner Mr. Nakano gave me the letter from-ko. Her letter is very considerate. I feel nothing but grateful to have her as my wife. I miss Yamanaka. Someone who has left is always missed and loved. 30 I had a hard time to sleep last night. I heard the scream of a mental patient and saw a beautiful moonlight from the window. I also had a strange and unpleasant dream; the woman I know died and the dream was so vivid. I still can recall the dream. I write this diary but it's meaningless because the life here never changes. No changes but today never comes back. May 2 Sad news ; Sasaki passed away. I was very surprised. I feel fragility of life. I can't believe my friend who was well and worked with me died. I feel sorry for his wife too. I heard she is having baby this month. 7 I was sent to Nankin by a hospital ship. The air seems different from the one 4 months ago. 14 I had an order to be sent to Shanghai today. This was pleasant hospital. July15 I'm getting sick of this hospital life in Shanghai hospital. Even if it's too boring, I know I can deal with it when I want some hope and think about improvement in the future, but I don't feel like it, so I stop writing this diary for a while. August 26 The result of medical check said I'm recovered completely from my illness. I think about all I've done for it and I feel speechless. September 1 I've decided to write this diary from today once again. It might be useful in the future. It is a beautiful fall morning. I feel like studying. I guess my health is the most important thing.' The diary also includes some ephemera: "- I live with gratitude. People who appreciate everything from every single thing on earth don't have any complaint. Work for not yourself but society and others. - Live within income. If outcome gets more than income, it's like you are putting things into a bottomless bag. Have a simple and appropriate life. - Try to get along with family. If you have money, save the money. Don't gamble. Don't have a bad habit. - Don't pretend to be someone you are not. If you do, you only suffer from things. - Don't have a debt. Saving is the stairs for success. Having debt is the stairs you are going down to the bottom. - Have a strong sense of independent and self respect. Don't have a dependent heart. - Don't be "a 3 days monk". W. Japanese Language.…
