Karl Moulton adds: "I'd also like to announce that I was fortunate to uncover the whereabouts of Joseph Mickley's daily business journal which covers the years from 1840 to 1848. Yes, this is one of the "Missing Masterpieces" that fellow researcher and good friend, Joel Orosz outlined in his Asylum article from Summer 2000, p.73. And NO, this announcement is not an April Fools prank.

This is Joseph Mickley in a personal manner, the way in which none of us have ever seen before. It is his daily musical business journal of his many customers, sales, repairs, travels, rents, domestic expenses, etc. This is mid-19th century Americana at its best. There are 573 pages of entries in Mickley's clearly legible handwriting. Copies of this historically important work will be available later this summer for $79. plus $6. S/H. As a special bonus, this reprint will offer Jacob Bunting's (close personal friend of Mickley for decades) 28 page biographical sketch about Mickley, written in 1885. Orders are being taken now and this 600 page reprint is available exclusively through Karl Moulton at numiscats@aol.com" | ||
