Papers from the Bartram family...really?
The Chew family? Yep, pretty sure we have their records. The Hopkinson family? Yeah, we’ve got them too. The Logan family? Yes, them too, and related families. The Cadwalader family? We’ve got boxes and boxes…and more boxes! The Bartram family? Believe it or not, yes! Tuesday, 10/6/09 3:54 pm

Won't you step into this cloud of steam?
Surely steam-powered travel was not in Peter Gabriel's mind when he wrote his 1992 song Steam. But cutting edge travelers of 1869 may have been eager to step into (or rather, sit behind) the cloud of steam produced by the one, the only..."The Wonderful Steam Man!" While going through a few boxes of uncatalogued graphics, I came across these interesting clippings about and an 1869 flyer advertising a revolutionary new way to get from point A to point B.
