Large, heavy photo album, 15 1/2 x 16 1/2 in., brown pebbled leather over boards. Light grey paper album pages bound together securely, but detached from covers. The approximately 768 photographs are loosely inserted into corner slits cut into the album pages. The majority of the images measure 3¼ x 4 3¼ x 5½ in., while 18 large images measure 4½ x 6½ 7½ x 9¼ inches with many identified either by locational captions or numbers. Interleaved in the album are 13 typed pages of a travel journal: "Extract from Judge Wallace Nesbitt's Journal after Col. Thompson's arrival late on the night of December 10, 1904 at St. Charles Hotel." [ink caption]. The journal of over 6000 words begins in New Orleans, on 11th December,1904 and ends in Miami, FL, Jan 13, 1905, giving a highly detailed account of a portion of the trip documented by the photographs. In addition, the album includes approx. 50 postcards plus several other pieces of ephemera including invitations and menus. The album covers are worn and there is loss to the spine. Some of the interior pages contain light staining, but the photographs are exceptionally clean and clear. A printed invitation to a reception on board the "Everglades," sponsored by the Reception Committee for the Iron & Steel Institute, and Colonel and Mrs. Robert M. Thompson, Sunday, November 6, 1904, is laid down on the first page of the album. An ink caption above it reads: "Reception given before starting on trip." Thompson's houseboat begins its travels down the Mississippi River, at St. Louis, just at the close of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Presumably the joint reception held on board his boat with the Iron & Steel Institute marked a collaboration of his business interests with the fair exhibits. Over the next few weeks, the "Everglades" makes its way south to New Orleans, recording sights along the river (boats, towns, river scenes, locals, hunting camps, etc.), and providing uncommon photographic documentation of some of the small towns along the Mississippi at the turn of the twentieth century. The first 150 or so photos record this part of the "Everglades" trip down the Mississippi to New Orleans. There are photos of Thompson and his guests on board the boat, enjoying leisure activities, as well as scenes observed along the river. These include river and town views of Memphis, TN (8); a goose hunt (16); Mississippi River views of the coastline, houseboats, riverboats, paddle steamers (18), Helena and Arkansas City, AR river scenes, riverboats, downtown street scenes (22); Vicksburg, MS steamboats, cityscapes at a distance, a photo of two nuns walking across a muddy street on wooden planks, etc. (9); Natchez, MS shoreline, a downtown street scene, etc. (7); New Orleans, LA train station and street scenes (14); Montgomery, AL [evidently a side trip], including the state house, a few larger photographic views of the downtown area (12), plus several of African Americans (18), including what appears to be a river baptism, a black man in prison stripes, and a handicapped beggar on the street. Once the Nesbitt party joins the group in New Orleans, the next 150 or so photos include: Lake Pontchartrain (10); Madisonville, LA river views, a picnic, rural and downtown street scenes, a hunting party (37), and (5) of African Americans, including groups of school children; Pensacola, FL (5); Apalachicola, FL views of the town along the wharf (6); Cedar Key, FL town scenes and pictures of local residents (18), Suwannee River scenes (13); Tampa , FL (1); Punta Rassa, FL river views and wharf views (18); Fort Myers, FL water views (5); locals at the Plantation at Cape Sabel [sic: Cape Sable] (7); and Miami & Cocoa Grove houses, fruit trees, & palm groves (9). The houseboat "Everglades" is described in Nesbitt's journal as being 120 ft. long x 28 ft wide, with 9 state-rooms & 2 large bathrooms, a large dining room capable of seating 16, an observation car, sitting room, and a crew of 14 (including a Japanese cook). Games to occupy the guests' time included deck golf (several photos show people using the "Anderson's Varsity Home Golfer" set that was on board), basket ball, a "Victor machine" for playing music. While in New Orleans, Thompson and Nesbitt dined at Beguies "an ancient tavern with a sanded floor and narrow stairs and curious settles before unused fireplaces that one would expect to find in mediaeval France," and Antoine's, the famous old French restaurant. Nesbitt describes the recipe for their vermouth cocktails, as well as their visit to Sasarach's for "the world renowned Sasarach cocktail." Nesbitt recounts Thompson's friend Capt. Kimball's story of having been head of the Naval Secret Service in Washington, DC, and having made a dangerous reconnaisance trip to Cuba to map the placement of cannon at Havana Harbor and elsewhere shortly before the Spanish-American War. The next stop en route is Madisonville, Louisiana which Nesbitt says was an old summer place of New Orleans people before the war, but now "the streets are practically deserted; the old summer-houses and gardens in a dilapidated condition but very picturesque. Numerous photographs were taken of huge oaks, every twig and branch of which were covered with moss. and we also saw the product of the cotton in the form of seed, ground meal and a species of chop stuff which is gotten from the refuse of the cotton and the seeds and apparently is taken into the country by ox-teams consisting of from six to eight span of oxen driven with long whips which can be cracked quite as loud as a rifle shot. We went to a shop and got some "syrop battery", a molasses made from the pure cane and which is very highly thought of." The excursion continues around Lake Pontchartrain, to Lake Borgne, Pas Christian, passing Mobile, and on to Pensacola, then Apalachicola, Florida. On the way to Cedar Keys, they are joined by "Captain Gardiner [sic], who was the associate of Mr. Greig [sic], the author of "Fish of East F.
