Almanac Collection. A huge collection of fifty (50) almanacs. The annual almanac, forecasting agricultural and weather-related information for the upcoming year, was essential to most homesteaders and farmers. These paperback booklets detailed everything from phases of the moon to political candidates in that year`s national elections...from phrenology and astrology predictions to listing home remedies/medicines and, of course, the calendar in various forms. This is a tremendous archive of such booklets from several different publishers. The group includes: eleven (11) `Lutheran Church Almanacs,` various years 1886-1912; twenty-five (25) issues of the `Agricultural Almanac` for years from 1893-1931; eight (8) published in German for immigrants, representing years from 1834-1913; and six other miscellaneous examples, including the `Farmer`s Almanac` for 1886. Typical age wear, minor tears and chipping; a few with some cover loss. Most have wonderful woodcuts and design elements. A fine assemblage (50 items) .
