Download or read book Bissell Family Papers written by Bissell Family and published by . This book was released on 1803 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bissell Family Papers are housed in two archival boxes and arranged alphabetically by folder title. The papers include correspondence, diaries, indentures, newspaper clippings and stock certificates. The materials are derived from a variety of family members, but the primary contributors were William Semple Bissell (1822-1885), David Shields Bissell (1859-c.1939) and Leet Wilson Bissell. Their diaries make up the bulk of the collection. Their journals document many of their day to day activities of work, travel and recreation. The similarities in style between these men are quite apparent and appear that each passed on the journal entry technique from father to son spanning three generations. Some significant accounts include: William Semple's ten days of sorrow as he watched his wife slowly die from an unmentioned ailment in 1857; David's European vacation in 1904; and Leet Wilson's meticulous weather records. Other materials include various stock certificates from the Sewickley Valley Land Company, a myriad of failed utility companies and the Reliance Gold Mining and Milling Company. Perhaps the most significant materials include photographs taken at Johnstown, Pennsylvania one month after the great flood of 1889.

Book excerpt: From the best-selling coauthor of The Disaster Artist and “one of America's best and most interesting writers" (Stephen King), a new collection of stories that range from laugh-out-loud funny to disturbingly dark—unflinching portraits of women and men struggling to bridge the gap between art and life A young and ingratiating assistant to a movie star makes a blunder that puts his boss and a major studio at grave risk. A long-married couple hires an escort for a threesome in order to rejuvenate their relationship. An assistant at a prestigious literary journal reconnects with a middle school frenemy and finds that his carefully constructed world of refinement cannot protect him from his past. A Bush administration lawyer wakes up on an abandoned airplane, trapped in a nightmare of his own making. In these and other stories, Tom Bissell vividly renders the complex worlds of characters on the brink of artistic and personal crises—writers, video-game developers, actors, and other creative types who see things slightly differently from the rest of us. With its surreal, poignant, and sometimes squirm-inducing stories, Creative Types is a brilliant new offering from one the most versatile and talented writers working in America today.
