    The land of gold; reality versus fiction. By Hinton R. Helper THE LAND OF GOLD. REALITY VERSUS FICTION. BY HINTON R. HELPER. BALTIMORE: PUBLISHED FOR THE AUTHOR, BY HENRY TAYLOR, SUN IRON BUILDING. 1855. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1855, by HINTON R. HELPER, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the District of Maryland. SHERWOOD & CO., PRINTERS, BALTIMORE. TO THE HON. JOHN M. MOREHEAD, OF NORTH CAROLINA, These Pages are respectfully Dedicated, BY HIS SINCERE FRIEND AND ADMIRER, THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. The land of gold; reality versus fiction. By Hinton R. Helper http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.075 PREVIOUS to my departure for California, near and dear friends extracted from me a promise to communicate by letter, upon every convenient occasion, such intelligence as would give them a distinct idea of the truthfulness or falsehood of the many glowing descriptions and reputed vast wealth of California. In accordance with this promise, I collected, from the best and most reliable sources, all that I deemed worthy of record touching the past of the modern El Dorado, relying upon my own powers of observation to depicture its present condition and its future prospects. This correspondence was never intended for the public eye, for the simple reason that the matter therein is set forth in a very plain manner, with more regard to truth than elegance of diction. Indeed, how could it be otherwise? I have only described those things which came immediately under my own observation, and, beside this, I make no pretensions to extensive scholastic attainments, nor do I claim to be an adept in the art of book-making.

  • The Story of Clipper Ship Sailing Cards

    The Story of Clipper Ship Sailing Cards

    The Story of Clipper Ship Sailing Cards BY ALLAN FORBES N THESE DAYS of highly competitive advertising one of I the first things one naturally thinks of in connection with these scarce, interesting and instructive sailing announce- ments or dispatch cards, as they were often called, is how they were distributed to the best advantage. It so hap- pened that recently the mail brought this letter from a friend of Lawrence W. Jenkins of the Peabody Museum of Salem, who for some time has been interested in this subject: I knew an old gentleman who worked on South Street as a clerk in one of the shipping offices before the Civil War and he told me these cards were gotten up and mailed to various export houses and commission merchants who would be likely to send things to California and most of them had a board in their office where they were tacked up and remained until the ship sailed so that prospective shippers would have their atten- tion called to the ship that might be sailing near the time when their consignment would be ready. He said that accounted for the rather elaborate printing and the general desire to give the impression that theirs was the best. Of course a great many were mailed to other cus- tomers but the importance of the cards was to send them to the various export offices. In an article in Hobbies Magazine for March, 1945, Abe Schoenfeld, who has made a study of this subject wrote: The usual method of distributing these cards was by messenger going from office to office in much the same manner that handbills are delivered to our mail boxes today.

    John Henry Dick journals, 1947-1987 SCHS 34/0655 Creator: Dick, John Henry, 1919-1995. Description: 7 volumes Biographical/historical note: South Carolina artist, author, naturalist, photographer, world traveler, and conservationist. A native of New York, Dick moved to South Carolina in 1947 and made his home at Dixie Plantation near Meggett, S.C. He contributed illustrations to numerous books on birds and natural history including "South Carolina Bird Life" (1949), "Florida Birdlife" (1954), "The Warblers of America" (1957), "A Gathering of Shore Birds" (1960), "Carolina Lowcountry Impressions" (1964), and "The Birds of China" (1984). In 1979 Dick published "Other Edens," an illustrated account of his nature travels. He died in 1995. Scope and content: These seven leather-bound journals kept by John Henry Dick contain notes, hand- painted maps, and artwork inspired by his world travels as well as entries concerning parties, concerts, trips, pets, bird watching, and world events. The journals also functioned as guest books and scrapbooks. Included (more extensively in the earlier volumes) are signatures, drawings, and comments by guests to Dixie Plantation, with descriptions of social events there. Other entries document more than 60 expeditions taken by Dick to every continent of the world and include numerous fine watercolor paintings and ink drawings of local flora and wildlife, especially birds, by Dick and his friends including Robert Verity Clem. Interspersed among entries by guests and Dick's journal entries and artwork are photographs, clippings, feathers, and other memorabilia. Note: Selected extracts and artwork from the journals were published in Carologue (Summer 1997), a publication of the South Carolina Historical Society.
