    Letter to Mr. Monnig from about a fragment found.Deport, Tex [Texas] Aug. 8, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig, 312 W. Leuda, Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Monnig: Am in receipt of your letter concerning the fragment of meteorite I sent you. Sure, I'll tender you my permission to retain it another week, that you might make up your mind about purchasing it. ( y the way, you speak of the mind In a very familiar manner. I am at once reminded of beds. Can the mind be thus easily disposed of? Yours must be annextremely [an extremely] definite philosophy.) Yes, there was a kind of formation between the tines (forks) of the fragment, which I removed. It was grayish in color and had a peculiar odor. I couldn't rightly say where the burnt looking stuff inside the neck came from.---probably caused by atmospheric resistance. Hoping that you will discover the fragment to be something more than a "genuine object", l am very truly yours, Edgar L. Bryson Edgar L. Bryson. P.S. I like “Star Breeze.” Is it an original composition? It incorporates a beautiful thought. Do you like epigrams? Here then: Wise men are fools, who by strange fate are torn to occupy the stools of ridicule an scorn. E. L. B

    Arthur Titus Bryson, A.B. \u2713, LL.B. \u2714 South Portsmouth, Kentucky Delta Chi; Y. M. C. A.; Patterson Literary Society; Press Association; Henry Clay Law Society; Baseball; Mountain Club; Member Kentucky General Assembly. What care I when I can lie and rest; Kill time and take life at its very best. It is very doubtful if any man has ever accomplished as much here under as adverse circumstances as our dear old lovable chum, Dart. He has toiled many a weary year about the vicinity of Kentucky State and carries away with him the degrees of A. B. and LL. B., as a worthy crown of his labors. When Greenup County found herself in need of a representative this winter she turned with almost unanimous acclaim to Dart, and his splendid record at Frankfort has fully justified the implicit trust we always put in him. -The Kentuckian, 1914---------------------------------- Arthur Titus Bryson, Sr. (February 19, 1886 - April 30, 1959) was born in South Portsmouth, Kentucky to James Donovan Bryson and Nancy Belle McAllister. Bryson received both an A.B. and an LL.B. from the University of Kentucky. Bryson practiced law in Ashland, Kentucky. In 1914, he was elected to the Kentucky General Assembly as the representative of the 100th district. In 1938, Bryson was appointed the city corporation attorney for Ashland. He practiced for 45 years in Ashland before retiring to Florida. Bryson married Juliette Gaines in 1914. Bryson\u27s son, Arthur Titus Bryson, Jr., also graduated from the University of Kentucky where he received his A.B. in 1938 and his LL.B. in 1940.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/klapp_1914/1000/thumbnail.jp

    Trips in the Smokies, 1930

    No full text
    “Trips in the Smokies” is an 8-page brochure written by Horace Kephart (1862-1931), author of “Camping and Woodcraft” (1906) and “Our Southern Highlanders” (1913). The 1930 brochure, published by the Bryson City Drug Co., follows one with the same name printed in 1929. The two brochures demonstrate changes in travel opportunities, with Kephart suggesting Bryson City as a jumping off point for Smokies exploration, including a map and directions for traveling from Atlanta to Asheville. This brochure also includes mention of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Like the 1929 brochure, the one from 1930 was the personal property of Kephart and is stamped as such

    Mesilla's millions, and their mysteries

    No full text
    29 p., 31 cm.Authored by the effectively-anonymous ‘B.M.L.’, this work examines the complicated maneuvers and secretive negotiations between agents of the US and Mexican governments regarding the sale of Mexican territory. At its most ambitious the plan called for the sale of much of northern Mexico, including the states of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Coahuila, but was eventually scaled back to the Valle de Mesilla, which runs between Mexico and Arizona. The deep involvement of Santa Anna, along with some of his closest associates, combined with his perpetual need for finances, cast the entire enterprise under a cloud of suspicion and the author suggests that the real or perceived corruption only served to entrench the uneasy relationship between the two countries, while eroding trust between the Mexican people and their officials.This document is an English translation of the "Los millones de la Mesilla, y sus misterios." Translated by Lorena Gauthereau-Bryson. The language of the original document is Spanish
