Biography/History

Claude W. Unger was a book and manuscript dealer with a business in Pottsville, Pennsylvania for atleast the period of 1925 to 1937. He issued catalogs and shipped orders of books, pamphlets, autographs,and prints to a national clientele that included collectors such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and VilhjalmurStefansson.

Unger recognized a growing market for ephemeral materials relating to early American arts, industry, andsocial life. To build an inventory of this sort of material, he sought the files of long defunct mercantilefirms in Philadelphia and the forgotten papers in old law offices in the towns and cities of easternPennsylvania. He also welcomed opportunities to rummage through attics, barns, and hencoops whileoffering to purchase old books and papers on any subject in any condition.

After Unger’s death in 1945, Dr. Harvey Bassler of Myerstown, Pennsylvania purchased from Unger’sestate the entire stock of Unger’s remaining inventory, largely because much of it was pertinent to Dr.Bassler’s interest in Pennsylvania Germans. Dr. Bassler added materials from his own collection to theUnger collection and donated the materials before his death in 1950 to the Pennsylvania German Societyunder the condition that the materials be cataloged and made available for research.

The Pennsylvania German Society was unable to make the collection available, so the collection soonpassed into the possession of Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Also unableto manage the entire collection, the college withdrew much of the Pennsylvania German materials anditems relating to Lancaster County and offered the remainder to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.The Historical Society of Pennsylvania agreed to purchase the collection in 1958, and it arrived in twoinstallments with the first arriving in 1959 and the second arriving in 1967.

Scope and Contents

The collection contains letters and documents representing some 2,000 individuals connected to a widerange of subjects. People from the 19th century such as abolitionists, women’s suffragists, scientists,and politicians (particularly Pennsylvania politicians) are the most commonly represented individualsin the collection. There also are a number of items from various dukes, duchesses, and other titlednobility. The largest group of papers concern Philadelphia merchants of the late 18th and early 19thcenturies and include correspondence, accounts, bills of lading, and ships’ papers. Firms representedare Richard Ashhurst and Sons which traded in dry goods primarily with Alabama, Louisiana, andMississippi; Thomas Astley whose papers in this collection mostly pertain to land investments in westernPennsylvania; Andrew Clow and Company which traded with England and Europe (here mostly withRathbone and Benson in Liverpool); and Dutilh and Wachsmuth which traded mostly with the WestIndies but also with Europe. Much of the material filed under “Bills” and “Ships and Shipping” relates tothese major firms, particularly Dutilh. Some of the Dutilh and Wachsmuth papers are in French.

The document collection also contains a number of items connected to well-known historical events.A number of documents pertain to the American Civil War, including an Oath of Allegiance from aSoutherner seeking to reinstate his United States citizenship (Box 12, Folder 7) and a group of letters toAnsom Hemmingway, grandfather of Ernest Hemmingway, which Ansom received between 1863-1865while he served in the Union army and was stationed in Vicksburg, Mississippi (Box 22, Folder 2).

Additional items connected to major historical events include an item from the Merchants and Traders ofPhiladelphia to the U.S. government expressing concerns about the newly-passed Non-Importation Acton 18 April 1806 (Box 25, Folder 7); an item discussing how the Panic of 1837 was affecting the peopleof Mississippi (Box 1, Folder 8); and several items concerning 19th century slavery in the United States,including receipts from the sales of slaves, the impressment of slaves into the Confederate Army, and apro-Democratic Party newspaper offering anti-Lincoln and anti-emancipation sentiment during the leadup to the election of 1864 (Box 26, Folder 2 and Box 35, Folder 8).

Some of the oldest documents in the collection date back to the 17th century. The majority of the 17thcentury documents are last wills and testaments that may be of interest to genealogists studying earlycolonial families in the Middle and New England colonies.

In addition to the 40 document boxes, there are 112 volumes in the collection. The volumes consistof account books representing a variety of businesses of Pennsylvania Germans, court dockets, andschool exercise books. The bulk of this material consists of the records of Jonas Robinhold's dry goodstore in Port Clinton (1840-1890), Robinhold’s justice of the peace docket books (1845-1863), HiramRobinhold’s Port Clinton tax collection records (1872), and other blotters, journals, and ledgers.

Additional volumes include Heidelberg Township accounts of supervisors (1775-1836), Peter Hoffmanledger (1817-1831), Aaron Keffer ledger (in German, 1845-1853), David Rinewald, linen merchant,daybook (1797-1815), John Romich, lumber merchant, ledger (1844-1888), William Weiler, dry goodsmerchant, ledger (1851-1859), and others.

Overview of arrangement

In most cases, documents in this collection are identified by the name of the person who signedthe document (e.g. Howard, Apphia). In some instances, a group of documents are identified by aunifying subject name rather than an individual signer (e.g. Crime). All documents have been arrangedalphabetically according to either the signer’s last name or the document group's subject.

The arrangement reflects Claude Unger’s original order. Unger organized his stock by name or subject,so collectors could easily find documents of interest. As a result, materials that were once part of a singlerecord group were separated and filed under a variety of names or subjects. This separation persists in thecollection’s current arrangement.

Custodial history

Most of this collection once formed part of the extensive stock of Claude Unger, a book and manuscriptdealer in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, who was active at least between the years of 1925 through 1937. AfterUnger’s death in 1945, Dr. Harvey Bassler of Myerstown, Pennsylvania, purchased Unger's stock, addedsome of his own materials, and donated the combined collection to the Pennsylvania German Societybefore his death in 1950. Unable to make the collection accessible to researchers, the PennsylvaniaGerman Society passed the collection to Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Atthe college, most of the materials related to Pennsylvania Germans and Lancaster County were removed.The college sold the remaining portions of the collection to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in twoinstallments with the first arriving in 1959 and the second arriving in 1967. The 1959 purchase becamethis collection, while the 1967 portion became the Claude W. Unger collection, Collection 1860B.
