Panama April 21th 1849 Br Ira C. Goodell According to my engagement to you I take the first opportunity to fulfill it. We left N York the 26 of March at ?----- four o clock P.M. Anchored som three miles West of Chagres on the 12 of April at ?----- four O’clock P.M. Thursday making the passage in just 17 days from N York The first night after we left N.Y. the wind blew very hard It rained & snowed & hailed the ship went first onto one side then onto the other it was almost imposible to lay in one berths Of all the spueing that I ever see or heard of I see that night and the next day. But as good luck would have it I was not much sick only some 15 or 20 minutes though I have not much appetite to eat for a week or so. We steared directly towards Turk Island we came in sight of it in twelve days we left it at the left of us we sailed between the Islands of Cuba & St Domingo also come in sight of Jamaica left it at the right of us Right glad we were when we arrived at Chagres this place has been most awfully belied I never was so happily disapointed in my life It is a village of some 200 huts and about 800 inhabitants all dress clean & neat except some of the children the men however when they are roweing their boats up & down the river Chagres take off their shirts or frocks (which are always on the outside of their pants) and then take their page 2 pants & tie the legs around their bodys & let the body of the pants hang down in front of their middle there is now and then one that strip entirely naked While I was stoping at Chagres I went to see some 50 women washing clothes in a little stream near the village they stood in the stream & used the stone to wash on each woman had a large flat stone which she used they use no hot water their washing looks very clean & nice there is a large port here built some 3 hundred years ago all going to decay it extends out into the sea some 50 roods its about 150 ft high there is an number large recesses or dark caverns in underground what they were build for I could not tell but probably they they were built for prisons the large brass cannons lay scattered around on the ground or rather on top of the port which is noting more nor less than the ground for it is all grown over to grass & wead the walls on three sids next to the sea are about 100 ft high 8 ft thick than between this & the main prt their is a dish or channel about 10 ft wide 25 ft deep than comes the main port whoes walls are some 80 ft higher than the outside walls 54 of our passengers that come in the Brig Leveret hire our passage to-gether up as far as Gorgona 7.17 each person it took us about 2½ days to go from Chagres to Gorgona we were out three nights of which I slept in the boat on the soft sid of a board covered myself with a blanket head and all slept very well ?---- the first 1½ day we had trouble with the natives that rowed us up the river some time it would be with one boat some time it would be with another it was with mine only once we got page 3 about half way to Gorgona our boatman said he would not go any further without more pay while we were on the bank of the river eating diner we see our money chest going off into an other boat we went down with our pistols in hand and ordered it brought back which was done very quick. when we got ready to go they said they would not go any further two of our men on an other boat stood on the bank with their guns cocked the natives see them so they get in & pushed us off which was the last trouble we had with them till we got to Gorgona the man we contracte with claimed pay for one man more than their was of us so we went before the Alca---? held a cork and got our case There is some four hundred Americans in Gorgona now Gorgona is a place about ¾ as large as Chagres it is not as plesant in any respect nor can you live here so cheap as you can at Chagres Chagres River is about as large as Chicopee river where it emties into the connecticut river and is the most crooked of any river that I ever see it runs at every point of compass No one knows the distance from Chagres to Gorgona by the river route but it is probably about 50 or 60 miles if you could get through by land it would not be more than 20 or 25 miles the last part of the journey we walked 5 miles it was 12 miles by river Three of our company walked from Gorgana to Panama in one day (26 miles) there is a very good path only it is up hill and down all of the way It will be uterly imposible to pass from Gorgana to page 4 Panam one month after the wet season commences which has already begun So far as Panama is concerned you have read descriptions of in papers times enough written & my giving you one But I will say there is about 20 catholic churches here they are opened every morning you can see the little black brats kneeling down all over the churches and some ½ dozen priests in attendance the streets are narrow the buildings are all going to decay there is not a window glass in the whole city that I have seen the windows are wooden shutters you can hire rooms here for a dollar a day large enough to accom?--- 12 or 15 men there is about 3000 Americans here and at Gorgona there has not been a single vessel or steamer left here for San Francisco since the Origon left which was about the first of March tickets from here to San Francisco in sailing vessels sell from 150 to 350 dollars but this specilation is soon over I think there is 14 vessels here now which will sail in the corse of 3 or 4 weeks they will take off about half of them about 6 or 8 hundred have steamer tickets the remainder have either gambled & lost their money or are going back to the states thus they will get of some home I have bought 2 tickets for our company I shall probably go for one the sail the last of next week or the very first of week after next (about the 27 of ?--- we though it would be best for a cupple of our company to go along up if we had to pay a little more I think that tickets will be bought in the course of two or 3 weeks for a 100 dollars I paid one hundred & ninety for mine Oil is worth 50 dollars a barrel here Butter one dollar a pound eggs 20 ct a dozen flower 4 dollars a barrel you can live here after all as cheep as you can in NY saleratus N D Goodell page 5 I forgot tell you that your corn & cucumber & c we can get if we like corn is growing in all stages from the first planting up to the full grown corn in the ear that is ripe almost everything grows here spontainously that hart can wish when I say here I mean within a few miles of here let a ?--- yankeys come here and they could make money just as fast as they were a mind to with a very little labour There is a great deal of mahogeny or bay wood here in the woods I see one tree I should think would measure 25 feet through it all of the canews are made out of mahogeny trees some of them are 6 or 8 ft across and 25 or 30 ft long capable of takeing 25 men with their baggage up the river Chagre page 6 the city of Panama is built after the old gothic stile most all of the building have a piazza the roof project over there is no colums to any of the buildings out side a great many of the building are tumbleing down the walls of the city are also falling down in about every thing going to decay there is some 200 mules & horses dead between here & Gorgana stench enough to knock a fellow over therometer stands here at from 80 to 90 degrees In regard to my health it hasent been better for the last 4 year than it has since I have been on the Isthmus Pleas to excuse all mistakes & poor writing for I have in hast as I have 4 others letter to write to day and to morrow Give my love to you wife and children from your Br.

Title A name given to the resource John and Anthony Martin Photograph Collection Description An account of the resource John Martin moved to Amherst in 1967 and began teaching at the University of Massachusetts. He is an environmental designer, professionally registered in architecture and landscape architecture. His interests extend to photography, art, and environmental history, all of which he taught at the University. He has been associated with various organizations in Amherst including the Historic Commission, the Planning Board, and the Emily Dickinson Museum. Anthony Martin (John's son, born in 1969) is a photographer and a teacher. He took up photography as a teenager after having watched his father take architectural photos of buildings and gardens. While his father often focused on the larger context of people interacting in social spaces, Anthony preferred to explore formal aspects of shape, pattern, and contrasts of light and dark. This collection consists of over 200 photographs, taken in the 1980s, of buildings, architectural details, landscapes, and community events in Amherst. Most of the photos taken by Anthony were taken at a time when he was enrolled in photography courses at Amherst Regional High School. The images reflect his attempt to reconcile conventional ways of seeing with those of the avant-garde and surreal. The images captured by John reflect his interest in documenting landscape, architectural design, and community events. Many of the photographs were used in an exhibit related to the culture of Amherst which was sponsored by the Historic Commission in the 1980’s. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type "text" to images of textual materials.
