Original autograph document. Signed by most contributors (also referred to as "Social Democratic comrades") in red-ink boxes in the text. Original manuscript by the well-known Liverpudlian socialist Leonard Abbott, a follower of William Morris; published in pamphlet form in the prestigious «International Socialist Review» in July 1901 (pp. 14-20), it was met with public outcry and caused a scandal, as illustrated by Rose L. Martin in her detailed account of the circumstances in which the wedding came about in «Fabian Freeway. High Road to Socialism in the U.S.A. 1884-1966». At the turn of the 19th century, an event shook American society like a powerful earthquake. In the aftermath of the scandalous event, outburst of rage and indignation stirred the country, especially in the most conservative and traditionalist circles. The clergyman, educator, author, and Social Gospel advocate George D. Herron, a married father-of-four, left his lawfully wedded wife Mary out of love for another woman, Carrie A. Rand. The following unconventional union between Herron and Rand took place on May 25, 1901, in a New York apartment under the appellation of socialist wedding. Carrie Rand was the daughter of a lumber baron and banker and Caroline Rand, who donated profusely to Socialists and those who believed in their cause, whose inheritance would later fund and found the Rand School of Social Science in 1906. George D. Herron (1862-1925) was at one time a Christian Socialist minister, a founder of the Rand School of Social Science, a member of the Socialist Party, and the author of books and pamphlets on social and religious issues. Pastor William Franklin Lemmons greatly disapproved of the wedding, as he later wrote in his book «The Evils of Socialism». The binder Helen "Nellie" Gowen Haskell Noyes (1864-1940) was an esteemed American binder, whose lifelong work earned her the Guild of Bookworkers «Lifetime Achievement Award» in 1937. A manuscript book, bound by a great American woman binder, which deals with socialism, universal social and civil rights, as well as the feminist cause. This book symbolises the American fight against the establishment, traditional social and legal norms, and the rule of capitalism. It was the wedding gift that the inner circle of socialist, progressive and anarchist friends ("comrades") of George D. Herron and Carrie Rand Herron crafted on the occasion of their scandalous so-called "socialist wedding," which had to set the standard for the bright future of international socialism that they hoped was nigh. The couple fled the US and took refuge in Italy after their performance of a socialist wedding provoked a storm of criticism and violent personal attacks directed at them.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Helen B. Rand's 'Gold, Jade and Elegance,' first published in 1974, is a gem of a local history book and a favorite that has been out of print for a decade. This welcome second edition, with bright, illustrative old photos, rightly deserves to once again grace bookstore and home library shelves.Rand's three major themes are announced in the title: the discovery of GOLD in 1861 was mainly responsible for the economic success of the region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; JADE symbolized the Chinese contribution to that success; and ELEGANCE was on display at the turn of the 20th century in prosperous Baker City, the 'Queen of the Inland Empire.'Rand was uniquely qualified to write about Baker and Grant county history due to her and her husband's pioneer lineage (see inside 'About the Author'). Available to her were contemporary accounts written by her and her husband's grandparents. She quotes extensively from William Packwood's account of his dealings with the Chinese company he hired to help build the Sparta Ditch. He was proud that the Chinese trusted his word that the company would get paid when water started running.Rand tells of Johanna Packwood's hard, lonely frontier life running Olds' Ferry at Farewell Bend fifty miles from the nearest town. But it was an extremely profitable business collecting fees from Oregon Trail wagon trains of up to $1,000 per day.Rand also had Emeline Hazeltine's story of a man named Cincinnatus Heine Miller dashing past her on a stolen horse, while she was living in Northern California. Several years later the same man showed up as the accomplished poet Joachim Miller in Canyon City, Emeline's new permanent residence.Rand describes the social life of Baker City in its heyday: the white-gloved Black waiters at the Warshauer (later Geiser Grand) Hotel; the Baker City Opera hosting top-notch theater companies; and card parties in private homes with a dozen or more tables playing whist for prizes, followed by musical entertainment, and topped off with a late supper that ended as late as 1 a.m.Other topics Rand touches on: Chinese New Year's celebrations in Chinatown; origin of the library culminating in a new Carnegie Library building; cinders in the eye from riding on the Sumpter Valley Railway from Baker to Prairie City. And much, much more. Gary Dielman, Baker City Historian. …
