Walt Whitman. From the Walt Whitman Quarterly, Vol. 29, No. 1: “A Previously Unknown Whitman Photograph: This photograph was taken sometime in the late 1870s or early 1880s. The photographer is unknown. It appears courtesy of the owner, Jeffrey Kraus, and is part of the Jeffrey Kraus Collection. The photo is similar to two taken by Frederick Gutekunst in 1880, though Whitman is wearing a darker hat and a different coat here. The only other photos showing Whitman with a hat as dark as this one are a J. W. Black photo in 1860 and two photos of Whitman with his friend Bill Duckett, taken in 1886.”

No. 2968. Hon. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. This is Lincoln’s first sitting in Washington and was made by Alexander Gardner in Brady’s studio on February 24, 1861. Five poses of Lincoln were made that day. In this image we can see that Lincoln had just looked at his watch which he holds open in his right hand, and he was probably concerned with all the time it was taking to prepare the lighting and the plates. Amazingly this view has additions of black borders on the sides and at the center, clearly indicating that this was someone’s mourning portrait of Lincoln following his assassination. There is also a missing tax stamp on verso which further indicates that this was done between mid-April 1865 and the summer of 1866.

Pike, the Hampton Falls Murderer. Josiah Little Pike murdered Thomas Brown and his wife at Hampton Falls, May, 1868. Pike killed the old people for their money. Brown was a well-to-do farmer, living in a pleasant old house on the road leading from Hampton Falls Corner to Amesbury, Massachusetts, and was about seventy-five years old, while his wife was seventy-two. They had lived together more than half a century. Pike had worked on the old man’s farm for a while previous to the murder. In his confession the murderer said his intention was only to rob the old people, and at first he had no thought of murder. but, as he entered the dooryard he saw the ax, and knowing that he was on no good errand, he took it up to defend himself in case the neighbors should be alarmed. At the kitchen door, he rapped twice, and was answered by the old lady, who did not know him at first, but in a moment screamed “Oh! John Ross, is this you?” He then struck her with the ax, and similarly disposed of the old man, who soon appeared. He said he was not in the house five minutes, but took the money from the bureau-about $500-and an overcoat, and left. He was executed by hanging at Concord, N.H. on Nov. 9, 1869.
