  First Calais roll of arms

  Manuscripts

  The present manuscript belongs to the first of two variant versions of the Calais Roll in circulation during the later sixteenth century. It includes details of the military retinues of each peer and knight as well as a summary of the 700 ships and more than 14,000 mariners of the English fleet, arranged by home port, and a few notes of other expeditionary expenses. The manuscript is skillfully and calligraphically designed and executed, with a colored frontispiece of the arms of Edward III, encircled by the Garter, and contains 116 heraldic coats of arms, professionally tricked. The decorative scheme of the manuscript is however unfinished, with only one of the arms colored in, although the scribe's instructions to the illuminator can be seen.

There are 22 letters addressed to his second wife Louisa A. Taylor, 1 letter from Taylor, and 1 letter to his mother Experience Gates Arms. The letters are detailed in terms of dates, locations, routes, events, acquaintances, and his spiritual reflections. Although he often remarks on the beauty of the natural landscape and flora, the harsh realities of the journey are reminded with each grave marker mentioned. Arms describes the difficulties faced by him and his team including encounters with Native Americans, illnesses, disastrous stampedes, loss of cattle, and the challenging terrain. While staying in Utah, Arms encounters Brigham Young and details his impression of the Mormons. Of the 24 letters, 18 include typewritten transcripts prepared by Louisa Barber Hoblit and Carrolle Barber Clark.
