Edward E. Ayer reminiscences
Manuscripts
The "Reminiscences of Edward Ayer's first trip from home..." (HM 68693) is a 1924 version of a narrative by Ayer detailing his many and varied experiences in the American West from 1860 to 1864. Most of the narrative deals with his time as a California Volunteer. The 1923 manuscript "Why I love Prescott's 'Conquest of Mexico'" (HM 68694) describes how Prescott's book opened up the world of books and history for Ayer. Both manuscripts are typewritten carbon copies, and the 1923 item is signed and dated by Ayer. The third item, HM 16784a, is a bound volume of 187 pages, entitled "Early Reminiscences of Edward E. Ayer." Inscribed to the Huntington Library by Ayer, it contains typescript versions of the "Reminiscences of Edward Ayer's first trip from home..." and of twelve other memoirs of various trips and adventures abroad -- in Europe, Asia, Central America and in the American West. It also includes typescripts of two letters from Ayer to the Board of Directors of the Field Museum. HM 16784b (also 187 pages) is a variant version of HM 16784a, and includes a print of a portrait of Ayer. HM 16784b is inscribed by Ayer to William Hertrich, gardener to Mr. Huntington and later superintendent of grounds and buildings at the Huntington.
