About This Item
A Civil War-era autograph album which includes a signed CDV photograph card of E.T. Quimby. He also inscribed the third leaf. Elihu T. Quimby was the Principal of Appleton Academy until 1864 when he left to take a position at Dartmouth College. This album also includes a 1864 autograph of Lucretia P. Hale, most likely the same person who wrote *The Peterkin Papers*. There are several more autographs inside including one from noted editor and author, Amos Kidder Fiske. Some of the inscribed pages have nice drawings. One page has a circle of dried flower petals pasted down with an inscription inside the ring. A nice commonplace book from New England during the Civil War.
