Contains 49 cabinet cards of students, professors and Yale’s illustri- ous President at the time, Timothy Dwight. Also includes 24 Large Format (9” x 7”) original albumen photographs of outdoor scenes, college build- ings, various group shots, a student’s room, a boat house and three superb sports images. In the format of Victorian era photo albums with slip-in frames for photo’s. Photographer is “Pach Bros, New Haven.” The re- markable inclusion of a superior rare image of one of sports all time legendary heroes, Amos Alonzo Stagg in the baseball group photo makes this a most extraordinary find.

Occasional light foxing with some mildly affecting the cabinet cards, large format images mostly unaffected. Very good clarity and contrast, baseball outdoor game photo shows light mottling - appears to be from the photographer development process, still Very Good. A number of frames are empty, few edges torn. Leather on binding is very dry with scuffing and leather loss to a few areas, including spine, which has eroded entirely. It is very tight, altogether bright and exceptionally desirable.

TIMOTHY DWIGHT V (1828 - 1916) President of Yale University from 1886 through 1899. A member of Skull & Bones. Assisted in the reorganization of the divinity school, edited the New Englander (later the Yale Review), and served on the American committee on the revision of the Bible (1873-1885). In 1886, he succeeded Noah Porter as president of Yale. Called “Timothy Dwight the Younger,” he expanded the institution. It was Dwight who was responsible for changing the name Yale College, to the title “University” this year, 1878.

AMOS ALONZO STAGG (1862-1965): Renowned American collegiate and coach in multiple sports, primarily football, and an overall athletic pioneer. Playing at Yale, where he was a divinity student, he was an assistant baseball coach in 1887 and an end on the first All-American team selected, in 1889. He later became coach at Springfield College (1890- 91), the University of Chicago (1892-1932), and the College of the Pacific (1933-46). During his career, he developed numerous basic tactics for the game, as well as some equipment. From 1947 to 1958 he served as an assistant coach under his son at two colleges. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach in the charter class of 1951, and was the only individual honored in both areas until the 1990s. Influential in other sports, he developed basketball as a five-player sport and was elected to the Basket- ball Hall of Fame in its first group of inductees in 1959. A baseball pitcher in college, he declined an opportunity to play professional baseball but nonetheless impacted the game through his invention of the batting cage.

Known as the “grand old man” of college football, Stagg died in Stockton, California at age 102.

Two high schools in the United States, one in Palos Hills, Illinois and the other in Stockton, California, were named after him. The NCAA Division III national football championship game is also named after him. He was also the namesake of the University of Chicago’s old Stagg Field where, on December 2, 1942, a team of Manhattan Project scientists led by Enrico Fermi created the world’s first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction under the west stands of the abandoned stadium. $2,500 - up

The letters are written from Wilson McAlister. The first letter dated July 4, 1845 is written to his brother and sister and reads in part, “Here is a spreading, and there stands a thrifty elm - now a walnut and locust, a cherry tree and box elder. The attraction as you pass on, is arrested - and you pause and look on, an enquiry - what are these - why - little cedars from one to ten feet high with a rich healthy appearance - And before you are through, with these pretty little natives - you raise your head - and ask - What is that? Is it rain? No! Is it wind? No. Well, what is it? Why - it is the river driving furiously against that bluff of rock down there . . . We have forty boys in school - right from the neighborhood and thirty two boarding in the school . . . Last Sunday I tried to preach my first Choctaw sermon, I wish you all had heard it - though nothing strange in the sermon - the association was so strange - that I am confident you would have felt in some way or other . . . Now help us - I beseech your help in - But to return to the Indians - We have prayer meetings and a week in these meetings we have Choctaw prayers coming up to the same throne with the English - prayer. But the God of all nations, languages and tongues, hear, understand and disposes of all - whether English, Choctaw or whatever else.” The second letter dated, July 19, 1847 is in regards to Wilson’s return home to find his wife and children ill. He also speaks of people in the Choctaw Nation school that were also very sick and may die by the time he returns. “. . . two of our students are very sick - probably one of them will die - There is considerable sickness in the country . . .” McAlister continues to write about the people he encountered. “When I arrived here - I found an old Choctaw Soker with a pure blooded native - a beautiful little boy, whom he had brought (to supply the place of some absent boy) by the name of Paul Lewis . . . he told me through an interpreter, that he left his child with me as a father and had no fears at all about my treating of him well. I told him if I were the father, he must allow me the privilege of naming the child.” THE CHOCTAW PEOPLE: Originally lived in the area that became the states of Mississippi and Alabama and gradually ceded their territories to the U. S. government. The last cession was made in 1830, following the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. The most extensive record of Choctaw people and lands in the east was generated as a result of this treaty. The Indian agent William Armstrong took a roll of the Choctaw who were entitled to land under the treaty. This roll, commonly called the Armstrong Roll, has been published in several forms, the most readily available being that which was published in American State Papers: Volume7, part II, Index to Public Lands. American State Papers contain a very good surname index to this volume. The American State Papers series can be found in many public libraries and can serve as an important first step in locating an ancestor if you can identify the name of a male progenitor during the removal period (1830-46). Some toning, the 1845 letter has many clean seperations at folds, easily repaired with archival tape. Fine. $1,000 - up

* 431 1906, California. A very historic batch of photos along with a nine-page letter written over several days starting in Oakland with the earthquake at 5:15 am. The writer started writing at 6:10 am. The eight pages are written on Santa Fe letterheads. The photo album was put together by Fritz Foote. In pin notation on front cover page of album reads: “This book belonged to Fritz Foote the youngest of the Foote Family - Died about 1910 he was in school at Berkely and took these pictures following the Earthquake.” The first 56 photos in the album are mostly in the southern part of California, San Diego, Chula Vista , Linda Vista Golf Course, and Lemon Grove which was the location of the Foote Ranch. The Foote family was also in business in Los Angeles, called Eagle Feed, delivery and storing of feed. (Owner of the Ranch Charles Foote Born Saline Michigan 1842 died Sept. 17 1907 California Civil War Vet of Michigan 22nd Inf) Photos 57-61 take up full pages and photos measure 4 1/2 X 6 1/4 inches. These photos are taken in San Jose California after the earthquake. One of these photos has a very readable sign on the building that reads “The Modern School of Business”. Photos #62-92 are all different locations around San Francisco, all with locations written below the photo on page. Photos #93-94 School 39th & Market Oakland. Photos #95-97 Horse Jubilee and wagon San Jose Aug 8 1905. Photos #98-118 are of Lemon Grove , and Coronado California. Includes Charles Foote, the grey bearded man. Photo’s #119-123 are the Foote business Eagle Feed located in Los Angeles. (Very nice snap shot photos of wagons and building with readable signs). Photos #124-149 misc. photos of family and house photos. Photos #150-159 are more photos of Feed Business in Los Angeles (includes some interior photos). Photos 160-183 are miscellaneous California and family photos. The photo album is in good condition with a couple of photos having creases of corner bends. Overall very good condition and well represented. Album measures 5 7/8 X 7 3/4 inches about 1 1/2 thick. Next item with this lot is a fantastic earthquake letter with 8 pages packed full of information including some names of people. It reads: “April 18 1906 My dear mother & father : Did you feel the earth shake? At 5:15 this morning its now 6:10 am I was sleeping about a 5 mile gait when I thought I heard the alarm go off. I reached over to stop it and to my great surprise it was rolling from one side of the stand to the other, & then to the floor. I looked out the window in (there is a slight one now) in time to see a few chimneys sway around and fall. The picture & bed & dresser & chairs were dancing about the room. If I were subject to sea sickness, good bye to the 4 bit meal I had last night. I think the shock lasted about 3 or 4 minutes or maybe less or more. There is hardly a sound chimney that I’ve seen. A house caught fire about 5 blocks off. I suppose the people were all out telling the neighbors that it was the ‘worst they ever felt.’ Then to make matters worse , there was no water when the fire dept. arrived. The dresser in my room just walked out to the bed. It sure looked funny to see it hopping along a picture on the wall turned around with its face to the wall. A big wardrobe, like ours, fell down in Mrs. Geyette’s room & grazed the cheek of a niece of her’s sleeping on a cot. The water in the box of the toilet splashed out on the ceiling & walls. Tables fell over in the rooms upstairs, & to speak in short terms there was a shaking up of things generally. I am now down to the depot all the way down I saw people at every crossing waiting of the cars to run. I also noticed a brick school house in course of erection with the walls all cracked & one wall nearly down. Continued in the Next (Signed) Fritz”. The other letter reads: “Oakland April 19 1906 Dear mother & Father: I have seen the most awful sights to day that I ever saw in my life! I hope never to see any other horror that approaches it. It is impossible for you to conceive or in any small degree realize the terrible disaster that has befallen San Francisco. I can’t & I’ve seen it. I went over on a Western Pacific tug early this morning returning about 4 pm a chum of Mills, Pomtag by name, let me go over. Glen Funston has ordered the ferries to bring no one over, & people on this side with relatives are frantic to get over but can not. Launches charge $10 a passenger & are all crowded. When I left this after noon fully 2/3 of San Francisco was in ruins. The streets have great cracks in them & the car tracks are twisted by the earth quake & heat. The flames are spreading in all directions even against a fresh north wind that is blowing & streets we walked on this morning were a mess of ruins & flames when we returned. The fire is now consuming the five residences on Knob Hill. The Hopkins Art institute is destroyed. All the hotels - St. Francis , Palace, Calif & all. The new Post Office is destroyed and the fire was raging all around the Fairmont hotel, but at the time I left it was not afire, but the walls were cracked. The new flood building fell with the shock of the exception of the frame work. Most of the streets are filled with brick & all sorts of debris. The entire downtown section is in ruins. They are destroying buildings with dynamite continually, hardly 10 minutes passes with out an explosion. Govt launches are kept busy firing explosives from the magazines. There are regular soldiers every where & I don’t know what would happen if it were not for them, as it is between 15& 20 have been killed (shot) for looting or not obeying a halt order when they tried to get into the danger zone. Milton & the girls went to the grand opera Tuesday night & stoped at the Palace that night. I just now heard that they went to Stockton on #42 this morning. They lost all their baggage & Milton wearing his longtail coat & a dirty handkerchief around his neck.” The remainder of the letter talks more about San Francisco and San Jose and also mentions about what was heard about Santa Rosa. This letter is outstanding with one man’s personal account of what he saw along with his walk through the cities of San Francisco & San Jose, with photos of the areas he talks about.
