(WEST). ALS. 2pp. 5 1/4" x 5". Murray, Idaho. Sept 12 [n.y.]. An autograph letter signed "Silas T. Branch" regarding Western life. Though this letter is not dated, it appears to be from the late 1800s, a very early Idaho date. Idaho was not admitted to the Union until 1890. Branch wrote to his father about how he was exploited while living there: "...nothing much going on except a little mineing [sic] there is nothing steady,...he has got to look sharp or he will get Beat out of his wages. I got Beat that way for $300.00 within the last year and I am not the only one that has been served that way. There was 10 of us started into work for a New York Capitalist last fall and the first month we got our pay the next month he said the money hadent [sic] come in yet but would be in pretty soon so we kept on until we had over 3 months wages coming [sic] and when winter came he skipped out without paying us and that has been the way ever since I have been in here men will come in here with a few Dollars and make folks think that they own the world and Bond some mine and put men to work and pay all right the first Payday and the next something will be the matter that is if the mines turns out to be no good and then they will say that they will have to go outside to russel the money to pay off and forget to come back...". The letter with this interesting content is in fine condition.
