Autograph Letter Signed. Condition: Good. Stampless letters written to Thatcher Magoun of Medford, MA by Captain Daniel L. Winsor while aboard a ship sailing in the Baltic Sea that are dated August 14th and 17th, 1834. Letters are both written on a single sheet measuring approximately 15 ½ x 9 ¾ inches, which is then folded in half. Writing on recto and verso in condensed script that is somewhat difficult to parse, which is not aided by the ink bleeding through the paper. Chipping and tearing along edges. Only the largest tear disrupts the content, measuring about one inch wide and cutting about an inch into the sheet and obscuring a couple words. There are some large spots of foxing that do not impact content. Thatcher Magoun established the first shipyard in Medford, MA and earned a reputation that maritime historian Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison called, "second to none among American shipbuilders." Daniel L. Winsor served as captain of the ship Timoleon as part of Magoun's mercantile firm. In the first of the two letters included on the sheet, Winsor reports on the ship's arrival to St. Petersburg, Russia. He refers to "the miserable state of business there and elsewhere" and discusses the ship's cargo of flax and sugar. The second letter was penned when the ship was 10 miles from Elsinore, Denmark three days later. Winsor references the multitude of other ships in the vicinity and describes the many troubles the crew encountered on their journey. "I almost dread to go on shore at Elsinore," he writes. This intriguing pair of letters offers insight into the operations of a highly successful mercantile firm.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 2017, the Pacific Crest Trail wasn't itself.Okay, so it was still dirt. A lot of dirt-almost three thousand miles of the stuff. But in the remote Sierra Nevada range, over four hundred miles of the trail were buried, hidden under a historic snowpack layered over fifty feet thick.For Pacific Crest Trail hikers, the snow was either a roadblock or a challenge, and Daniel Winsor had spent enough cold nights recycling carbon dioxide in his sleeping bag to know one thing: a few snowflakes weren't going to stop him.Storms pummeled the Sierra into June. Towering sheets of ice had replaced the steep trails winding to thirteen thousand foot passes. Snowmelt transformed tame creek crossings into deadly wades. Invisible voids lurked beneath the snow, waiting to swallow unassuming hikers-by most any measure, only a suicidal fool would try it.There were a lot of cold nights tucked down in that sleeping bag.The rare prize of connecting a continuous path between Mexico and Canada in 2017 was hard to ignore. So with the odds stacked against him, Daniel pushed against his own fear and doubt to head into the Sierra backcountry anyway, aiming toward a preposterous goal in a year refusing to cooperate.In his debut memoir, Daniel dissects the lofty highs and miserable lows of hiking through a below-freezing environment for weeks on end. From inflamed tendons to frozen boots, from maddening hunger to sunburned nostrils, from rocky partnerships to back-stabbing cohorts-Daniel explores the inexplicable drive to find ones limits in an age where comfort and safety is all but guaranteed.
