Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Helen Holdredge Collection (SFH 36), San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library Provenance The Helen Holdredge Collection was donated to The San Francisco Public Library by Holdredge in several accessions from 1971 through 1982. Related Materials Researchers are encouraged to also see the San Francisco Public Library's ephemera files on Mary Ellen Pleasant, Lola Montez, Isaiah Lees, and Lotta Crabtree. It is possible that some of Holdredge's collected newspaper articles may have been incorporated into these files. Processing note For many years the collection was divided into 2 major groupings (the Mary Ellen Pleasant Collection and the Lola Montez Collection) with all additional accessions organized as stand-alone collections, and with photographs separated to the San Francisco Historical Photograph collection according to subject. In 2013, the library reintegrated all of the smaller collections to form a single Helen Holdredge Collection that documents her research and writing, in addition to the primary sources that she collected. Many of the items have a number assigned by Holdredge. These numbers have been noted on folders but not within the finding aid. Biographical note Helen Douglas O'Donnell Holdredge is the author of several books on noteworthy and notorious San Franciscans. She was born in Duluth, Minnesota, on September 17, 1898, the daughter of Patrick J. and Martha Archer (Simpson) O'Donnell. Helen was a student at the University of Oregon, 1923-1926; and was a member of Theta Sigma Phi. She trained as an opera singer and debuted in concert in 1919. She performed with various opera companies through 1924. She was also active in theater in Laguna Beach and Sacramento. The primary subjects of Holdredge's books are Mary Ellen Pleasant, Lola Montez, Lillie Hitchcock Coit, Thomas Frederick Bell and Teresa Percy Bell, and Isaiah Wrigley Lees. Holdredge's books are generally quite accessible but have come under criticism for their lack of specific documentation. Her books include: The House of the Strange Woman (San Carlos, Calif.: Nourse, [1961]), Mammy Pleasant (New York: Putnam, [1953]; republished San Carlos, Calif.: Nourse, 1961), Firebell Lillie (New York: Meredith Press, [1967]), Lola Montez (London: Alvin Redman, [1957]), Mammy Pleasant's Cookbook (San Finding aid to the Helen SFH 36 2 Holdredge Collection, 1849-1979SFH 36 Francisco: 101 Productions, [1970]), Mammy Pleasant's Partner (New York: Putnam, [1954]), and The Woman in Black: the life of Lola Montez (New York: Putnam, [1955]). Helen married Claire Parker Holdredge in 1926 and the couple lived in Sacramento, California. They had two children. Claire died on January 28, 1961; Helen died on March 19, 1986. Scope and Contents The collection contains research materials and draft manuscripts for Holdredge's books on Mary Ellen Pleasant, Thomas and Teresa Bell, Lola Montez, Isaiah W. Lees, and Lillie Hitchcock Coit. It also includes some correspondence about Holdredge's research and speaking engagements, as well as photographs and some realia. The largest series are the Writings and the Research Files for Mary Ellen Pleasant. The first contains book drafts. But is also includes notes on writing style, with particular references to the Brontes, and on how to convey a story. In addition, the Interview books in the Mary Ellen Pleasant subseries contain several references to lawyer John McNab's recommendations for emending drafts of the book "Beware of Mammy Pleasant" (published as Mammy Pleasant). The Pleasant subseries includes several primary documents by Mary Ellen Pleasant and Teresa Bell. Several of these documents, most especially the Bell diaries, include Holdredge's tabbed entries with her notes in pencil on important points for her books. Holdredge's research on Mary Ellen Pleasant includes material on the experience of African-Americans in the United States, specifically San Francisco, and the work of abolitionists. Arrangement The collection is arranged into five series: Series 1. Correspondence; Series 2. Writings; Series 3. Research; Series 4. Photographs; and Series 5. Realia. Subjects and Indexing Terms Bell, Teresa, d. 1922 Bell, Thomas Frederick, 1819 or 20-1892 Coit, Lillie Hitchcock, 1843-1929 Lees, Isaiah W., 1830-1902 Montez, Lola, 1818-1861 Pleasant, Mary Ellen, 1814-1904 Box 1, Folder 1 Series 1 Correspondence, 1956-1978, undated Physical Description: 1.0 folder Scope and Contents The series contains both professional and personal correspondence. Holdredge notes that she discarded fan mail unless it contained information pertinent to her research. As a result, some correspondence is filed in the Writings, Research, and Realia series. Of note are the exchanges with Russell Leake who photographed many places for Holdredge's books, and with Mildred Robbins, the San Francisco Chronicle writer of "Millie's Column," with whom Holdredge shared gossip and research of San Franciscans. The correspondence with James D. Hart, and from George F. Jackson to Holdredge's agent Noel R. Rubaloff, concerns the authenticity of some images of Mary Ellen Pleasant. Letters exchanged with William B. Tyler concern the bedspread made by Mary Ellen Pleasant that Tyler gave to Holdredge. Arrangement Arranged alphabetically by surname. See also: Box 4 / Folder 48.

  • Married Women Traders of Nantucket, 1765-1865
    AGENCY: MARRIED WOMEN TRADERS OF NANTUCKET, 1765-1865 MARY L. HEEN* ABSTRACT Before the enactment of separate property and contract rights for married women, generations of married women in seaport cities and towns conducted business as merchants, traders and shopkeepers. The ®rst part of this article shows how private law facilitated their business activities through traditional agency law, the use of powers of attorney, trade accounts and family business networks. These arrangements, largely hidden from public view in family papers, letters, and diaries, permitted married women to enter into contracts, to buy and sell property, and to appear in court. Private law, like equity, thus pro- vided a more ¯exible alternative to the common law of coverture under agree- ments made within the family itself. On the other hand, public law proved much more restrictive for wives who were not part of a viable or harmonious mar- riage. In post-revolutionary Massachusetts, for example, the feme sole trader statute and various judicially adopted exceptions to the legal disabilities of married women under the common law applied only to certain wives abandoned by their husbands. The second part of the article provides a case study of three generations of married women traders from Nantucket during the whaling era, the oil explora- tion business of its time. Their stories show how some married women, within the constraints of the law as it developed in Massachusetts without courts of eq- uity, attained a form of autonomy in business or commercial activity at the same time that they ful®lled their family responsibilities. Their stories also uncover tensions underlying the ®rst wave of women's rights reform efforts in the mid-nineteenth century, including the developing separation between work and home that continues to pose challenges for family law and for men and *.

  • Robert Bell, Printer
    ROBERT BELL, PRINTER Not quite two years since, in the spring of 1906, the writer came across an item relating to Robert Bell, a Quaker city printer of the later Colo- nial period, whose brilliancy of career was unearthed in detail mainly through a business deal we noted he was to have had with Lancaster's prominent townsman, Edward Ship- pen; and there is so much of general as well as some local interest at- tached to Bell's life that it is now and here presented to our Historical So- ciety as a valuable addition to eastern Pennsylvania history. Some one whose identity has not been revealed states, in the Master Printer, that "Robert Bell's very name is forgotten, and only recalled when one of his publications is found in the auction room or on the second-hand stalls. To the world at large Frank- lin's name stands alone in represent- ing the Philadelphia printer, while that of Bell is as dead as the world's indifference can make it." We shall endeavor to bring his work back to life. Bell practically began his publishing career where the famous Franklin left off, and from then on really issued and sold a larger variety if not more books than his philosophic predeces- sor. The period of hie activity ranges from 1768 to 1784. Bell was in Phila- delphia prior to the former date, prob- ably as early as 1765. He was a re- puted Scotchman, and supposed by one authority to have been a partner of George Alexander Stevens, coming to Philadelphia in 1766.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

I think I will always harbor this anxiety, but I have been blessed with mentors, colleagues, friends, and family members who have known how to couch their criticism in kindness and without whom I could never have summoned the courage to keep this work up or to set these words down. The germs for this book’s ideas began many years ago, when, as an under- graduate at Harvard, I stumbled somewhat accidentally (to fulfill a require- ment) into Lynn Festa’s course on “Sex and Sensibility during the Enlighten- ment.” Thank goodness for requirements.
