Front Cover: Lot 182 Back Cover: Clockwise from upper left: Lots 48, 283, 142, 252 Bond # 14425383 My interest in Western mining and mining towns began when I was a child after my parents had taken me to Knott’s Berry Farm and Ghost town, and Calico. Those experiences caused me to go to the library looking for any books on mining and ghost towns. After I found and read Nell Murbarger’s book “Ghosts of the Glory Trail“, I just had to go visit some of them she mentioned. Finally, my parents had listened to my interest enough times to indulge me by taking me on my first “tour” in Nevada in 1962.

It was Goldfield that made the biggest impression on me. Many of its buildings were deserted but contained many of their “antique” contents. In the Goldfield Hotel, the dining room tables were still set for any Ghosts that wished to dine there. The barber shop still had its Victorian barber chairs and contents, albeit covered in dust. But it was the Deep Mines building was the most fascinating. It looked as if someone left and locked the doors in the 1920’s.

I did not get back to Nevada until 1964 and this time only my Dad and I were on that trip. As before, the highlight of this trip was again Goldfield. This time we were able to get inside both the hotel and Deep Mines building. There were two or three “antique” stores in the town and at one I purchased two dishes marked “The Palm Grill.” Later we ran into a very old woman who was the wife one of the old mine owners. I mentioned my purchases and she told us to go to the town dump and look around. She gave us the exact location where china from the Palm Grill and Goldfield Hotel were dumped.

By the 1970’s, I was quite active in the hobby and knew many people with similar interests or residents in Nevada from the old days. Not only did I find material on my trips, people also wrote me. Through mail contacts I was able to acquire some great material, a book of stock certificates from Belmont, several boxes of records from the Tonopah Mining Co., and many newspapers, most found in walls of old buildings where they was used as insulation.

By 1975, my career had advanced in the U.S. government to the point that the only way I could get a promotion for a number of years, was to move to Washington DC. My move east largely ended my serious collecting of Nevada material. All my acquisitions went into storage either in DC or my Mother’s house in California.

I was fortunate to be able to retire early, and moved from DC to Palm Springs. Once set in Palm Springs, I started collecting again. This time, it was not through trips or shows, but largely through Ebay and catalog auctions.

I hope you will find something of interest in my collection that you value as much as I did. I have no remorse about disposing of it now, as the true treasures from those long years of collecting are the memories of the places I visited and the people I met.

Autograph Letter Signed by James Armstrong, midshipman aboard the U.S.S. Cyane, on its way to temporarily seize Monterey, California, from the Mexican government. One page, on single sheet which was folded. 25x20.5 cm. (9¾x8”). Aboard U.S.S. Cyane “Off the Harbor of Valparaiso”: June 24, 1842 James Armstrong writes to his father (Captain William Armstrong) while serving aboard the U.S.S. Cyane, which was soon involved in one of the great military blunders in American history. In part: “On the 3rd of May, we left Callao for this place with the States, Yorktown, St. Louis and Shark with a light breeze and about sundown we took our Stations...At about the 18th of June we (as we thought) made land which we supposed to be Valparaiso but which afterwards (for we had had no Chronometer sites for 2 or 3 days)...proved to be a land 130 or 40 miles to leeward of it so that there was a great laught at the Commodore’s navigation. We soon however beat that distance out and arrived here but the Commodore took in his head to come in so that here we are knocking about and not yet even got any fresh provisions. The St. Louis is in this place and so is the Yorktown. We however have been made the market boat for his illustrious magesty the Commodore and have like a true steward bought the things required and are now in pursuit to deliver them. We have been quite in a rage with the Commodore...” Thomas Ap Catesby Jones took command of the U.S. Pacific Squadron in 1842, consisting of his flagship, the frigate United States, sloops of war St. Louis, Cyane, Dale and Yorktown and the schooner Shark. The boundaries of his station included the entire Pacific coast of America - at a time of tense relations between the US and Mexico after the Texas Revolution. Jones’ flagship arrived at Valparaiso in May 1842, soon joining the rest of his Squadron, which was anchored at Callao, Peru. This letter, by a young midshipman aboard the Cyane, writing to his father, a Naval veteran, records the reuniting of the Squadron - and the unpopularity of Commodore Jones, who insisted on enforcing regulations against drunkenness and dueling which did not sit well with the junior officers. In the four months that followed, Commodore Jones made history - and nearly ended his career. Moved by “news” which reached Callao in September that the United States had gone to war with Mexico - and that the British were about to take California - Jones’ flagship and the Cyane immediately set sail to forestall a British occupation. On October 19, 1842, the United States and the Cyane sailed into Monterey Bay. Jones sent ashore his flagship Captain, James Armstrong - namesake of the writer of this letter, but apparently no relation - to demand the surrender of Monterey, to the United States. Mexican officials willingly complied - until the embarrassing word reached Monterey that there was no war, that the British fleet was no where in the vicinity, and that the whole incident was a huge error. This was, of course, only a premature foreshadowing of the real “capture” of Monterey and the seizure of California from Mexico which would follow four years later. Short closed tear and a ¼” hole affecting a few words; very good. (300/500)

Matheson would go on to become a Union Colonel in the Civil War. He died in battle at the age of 38. An early piece of Healdsburg printed ephemera.

RAN CALIFORNIA’S FIRST INSANE ASYLUM 25. (California) Reid, Dr. Robert K. Autograph Letter Signed by Dr. Robert K. Reid, to his cousin, written while first Superintendent of the first California Insane Asylum. 7 pages, on blue lined notepaper 21x13 cm. (8¼x5¼”). Stockton: September 4, 1854 Robert K. Reid writes to his cousin, John Y. Lind, from whom he seems to have become estranged, and from whom he had borrowed money. In part: “I thought my troubles during the last eight months were about as great as human nature could endure but pile it up. I will try to stand it....I am perfectly willing that my conduct and actions towards you during the last four years should be weighed in the balance with your own and be judged accordingly... Again in regard to my financial affairs... I have only to regret that my affairs are so embarrassed, so badly involved that I shall not be able to save a single dollar or have a dime to divide with you. That Weber House affair and...bad management have swallowed up everything I have made and saved and will entail debts and liabilities upon me... In regard to salary, I have received this year nothing but state scrip, nor is there any possibility of my obtaining any thing else. I am troubled and worried enough to make someone almost crazy. I have been dunned and garnasheed [sic] and attached till I am sick and tired to death ...” Reid and Lind, both physicians from a family of South Carolina plantation owners, came to California together via Panama in 1849. They first practiced medicine in gold mining towns near Stockton. Then Lind went into politics, elected the first State Assemblyman and State Senator from Calaveras County, while Reid was appointed the first Superintendent of a new state hospital at Stockton, soon converted into the state’s first Insane Asylum, badly needed at a time when so many Gold Rush immigrants who flocked to California suffered from mental illness. When Reid wrote this plaintive letter to his estranged cousin, he was 34 years old, had just married the matron of the female section of the Asylum, had lost tens of thousands of dollars financing the Weber House, the most lavish hotel in Stockton. Fine condition. (400/600)

LETTERS FROM CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH 29. (California Gold Rush Clipper Ship Letter) . Autograph Letter from shipping agents Funch & Meincke in New York, to S. Griffiths Morgan in San Francisco, regarding passage of a clipper ship. 18 lines, in ink, on single sheet, address and postmark on verso. New York: May 20, 1853 This letter relates to the record passage of the clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas from Honolulu to New York, set in the spring of 1853, “Praying reference to the enclosure of our Mr. French, which will apprize you of the safe arrival of the Sovereign of the Seas at this port, after a short passage of 82 days from Honolulu, we beg to own to day receipt of your much estd. favour of the 15th and 31st of March whose interesting contents have had our attentive perusal. The trade to California [being at] present rather dull, we have determined to send the Sovereign to Liverpool for which port we trust to receive a full cargo....” Built by Donald McKay and launched in Boston in June 1852, the 2400-ton Clipper Ship Sovereign of the Seas, under the ownership of Wall Street ship brokers, Funch & Meincke, sailed on her maiden voyage from New York, bound for Gold Rush California, on August 4. Despite being partly dismasted in a gale off Valparaiso, she arrived in San Francisco on November 15. She then sailed for Honolulu. On her return voyage, leaving Hawaii on February 12, 1853, carrying 8000 barrels of whale oil, she reached New York on May 9 - a record passage of just 82 days - the very voyage recorded in this letter, which was sent by her owners to S. Griffiths Morgan, a New Bedford businessman with large California property holdings (later one of the financial angels of Booker T. Washington). The vessel then sailed - again as noted in this letter - for Liverpool, breaking another speed record by crossing the Atlantic in 13 days. Subsequently chartered by a Liverpool firm for the Australian trade, in 1854, she set the world record for the fastest speed ever recorded for a sailing ship, the first vessel to travel more than 400 miles in 24 hours. A rare letter of California and nautical history. Small hole from seal opening, affecting three words of handwriting; light soil and bleed through; Funch and Meincke rubberstamp visible beneath postmark; very good condition overall. (300/500)

Page 9 30. (California Gold Rush Letter) . Autograph Business Letter to John Heinlen in San Jose, from the firm of Ingoldsby, Halstead & Co. in New York. 1½-pp. on 4-page lettersheet, addressed on p.4. 25x20 cm. (10x8”). New York: July 3, 1855 Letter regarding the shipment of “Nineteen packages, 18 of which you had consigned from Ohio to Lee and Waller and the other one was the Trunk you left at our Store. We thought it might save you some expense by having it shipped with the other goods - and as you did not appear anxious to have it hurried, we delayed it for that purpose. The articles were shipped on board Ship “Good Hope”, June 8th, and consigned to the care of Joseph Myrick & Co. at San Francisco, whose name was given to us by John Ogden, agent for the vessel in New York...” John Heinlen, to whom the letter is addressed, was a successful California business man during the Gold Rush, accumulating both wealth and property. Unlike other rich Caucasians, he willingly rented to Chinese; after a devastating 1887 fire which destroyed much of San Jose’s Chinatown, he offered not only to lease land to the homeless Chinese, but also to form a partnership with Chinese merchants in building a secure new Chinatown. He has thus been called the Schindler of San Jose’s Chinese community, analogous to the German industrialist who saved Jews from Nazi extermination during the Holocaust. Some spotting, very good or better. (400/600)

UTOPIAN IN THE GOLD RUSH 31. (California Gold Rush Letter) Baldwin, Peter M. Autograph Letter Signed by Peter M. Baldwin, writing from San Francisco during the Gold Rush, to John Glover Drew in New Jersey. 3 pp., on 4-page lettersheet addressed on p.4, with faint San Francisco postmark. 25x20 cm. (10x8”). San Francisco: Sept. 28, 1850 A fine California Gold Rush letter by the only known “Forty-Niner” who had been associated with the famed “communistic” utopian experiment of Brook Farm which struggled for existence in West Roxbury, Massachusetts from 1841 to 1846. Rather ironically, many New England enthusiasts for communal living based on Socialist concepts, greeted the discovery of gold in California enthusiastically, putting aside qualms about its materialism. Such contradiction is clearly represented in this letter from 43 year-old Bostonian Peter M. Baldwin, who had been “Baker General” at Brooke Farm, doing all the baking, written after a year in California to another former Brook Farmer, 29 year-old John Glover Drew, who was then living at the utopian community of the New American Phalanx in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Baldwin spends the beginning of the letter discussing old friends and acquaintances in the utopian communities, then turns to life in Califor- nia: “I am now in business for myself, but am not doing much, business is rather dull at present, but we hope for better times. I have been to the mines & worked one day, I had rather work at baking. I don’t think I shall trouble the mines again, they run too much on luck for me, I prefer a stove & slow & steady process to running on luck… Last may I left this place for Marysville a city located at the mouth of the Yuba River, where I worked 2 months & then I started for the mines, a miner’s don’t agree with me, there is too much of what John Cleeve use to cal the rough realities to suit me… Lot 31

Page 10 I must relate one or two scenes, on was as I was passing along a mule tail through the woods, I enquired of some Indians my way, they pointed the direction after I had passed them a short distance I heard the war whoop, on looking round, I was them all facing me & the chief with his bow & arrow in his hand, I thought it was their intention to rob me, so I advanced toward them intending to give them my wallet, which had but little money in it, the most of my money being in my belt around my waist, when they saw how ter- rified I looked they set up a loud laugh; I was glad to get off so but I must say I don’t like Indian jokes…” The letter represents one of the very rare historical links between two very different dreams - of Socialist utopia and instant capitalist wealth - of pre-Civil War America. Two small holes from being unsealed; near fine. (700/1000)

32. (California Gold Rush Letter) Hester, Craven P. Autograph Letter Signed by Judge C.P. Hester, to G.G. Dunn in Indiana. One page, on sheet 31x19 cm. (12x7½”). San Jose, CA: March 29, 1852 Letter from a California judge who presided over the Third Judicial District, which included Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, during the period when San Jose was the state capital. A lawyer who with his wife came from Indiana overland in 1849, no mean feat for a couple in their fifties, Craven P. Hester writes to another Indiana attorney and sometime U.S. Congressman George Grady Dunn, about financial affairs as well as the unseemly state of California politics: “”In my last communication I wrote you that I wanted $900 (???) from James to pay Commodore Stockton upon a purchase which he made or his agent in this country. Address Commodore Stockton at Philadelphia. I find that my taxes on my Iowa lands have not been paid for the last year. If James will not pay them send the money and pay them... Our Capitol has been floating, not yet certainly anchored. Our officers are unpaid and state in debt. Our Legislature is in session, engaged in ferreting out the bribery of last session in the passage of bills... This has been a fine winter - seasonable in every particular - adopted to farming - much of it being prosecuted...” Top portion soiled with rubbing to two lines of writing affecting legibility; overall very good.

33. (California Gold Rush Letter) Sibree, Charles. Autograph Letter Signed by Charles Sibree, to his wife, written from the mines on the South Fork of the Merced River. 2 pages, on 4-page lettersheet, addressed on p.4, with faint postmark. 25x20.2 cm. (9¾x8”). Mariposa Co., South Fork Merced: May 14, 1850 Rather poignant letter from a lonely, disillusioned miner, in part: “Another monthly mail has come in and I have no letter from you. I hope and trust you have wrote - and that the fault of my not receiving them is not to be laid to you - disappointment after disappointment makes me heartsick... I expect to hear form you by the next mail acknowledging receipt of the gold dust I sent by Adams Express with the March steamer. I have nothing new to write you about our success - things get worse rather than better. We are working like slaves in a boiling hot sun, today in the shade it was between 90 degrees and 100 degrees. You may fancy what it must be picking and shoveling and turning over stones, some of which are nearly a ton weight - exposed to his full Meridian blare. The fact is Catherine were it not for the fulfilling of the Agreement made before leaving N.Y. I would not stop in the mines one hour - but as it is I deem it my duty to do so if possible. There is but one out of five hundred who are here will do more than pay expenses - and there are no greater fools than those who are leaving the States and coming here. The newspapers from first to last are filled with false statements, utterly untrue and only calculated to bring misery and wretchedness on those who are deluded by them. Many a heart is broke at home, many a spirit crushed never again to rise by this California Mania. But my dear Catherine, my time here will soon be over. November will soon come round and then I leave the mines. Whether I will then return or not will depend on the state of my finances and on the word I get from you between this and then. It is most probable I will winter in Mexico and think of coming that way and may probably do some business there...” The letter is addressed to his wife in New York “via Panama & Chagres per Steam Ship.” Probably a English-Scottish immigrant to America, Charles Sibree, with his

Page 11 brother Henry sailed from New York aboard the Ship Elizabeth on February 16, 1849, arriving in San Francisco on September 25. (A fellow passenger was a destitute Irish immigrant, James Flood, who later became one of the “Bonanza Kings”, among the wealthiest men in America.) According to one account, Sibree died aboard ship later that year while sailing home from San Francisco to Panama. A few short tears, very good. (400/600)

34. (California Gold Rush Pioneer) Lyons, Caleb. Autograph Letter Signed by Caleb Lyons, who would later be a prominent figure in the California Gold Rush, relating to his lectures on women’s rights. 1+ pp., on 1st 2 pages of 4-page lettersheet, addressed on p.4. 25.5x20 cm. (10x8”). Collinsville, New York: December 6, 1842 Early letter by the man who took credit for designing the California state seal in 1849. Just 20 years of age, an freshly graduated from college in Vermont, Caleb Lyons launched himself on the New England lecture circuit, with his subject being women’s rights and temperance. This letter, to Rev. W.W. Ninde, Pastor of the M.E. Church, Rome, Oneida County, New York, attempts to arrange one of these lectures: “I have not forgot your kind invite to give you a Temperance Lecture in Rome at your Church and I now can tell when I would like to do so...I would of course like to have due notice both in the churches and by the Press well circulated. Even I, with my humble abilities would not like to Lecture to empty halls. The subject of the Lecture will be of ‘Womans Rights and Influence, a Temperance Lecture’ by Caleb Lyon of Lyonsdale...” A few years later, with help from his politically-connected father, young Caleb got an appointment as the first U.S. Consul at Shanghai, though he may never have set foot in China, instead appearing in California in 1849 to win a job as a secretary of the new State’s Constitutional Convention - and a $1,000 gold prize from the Legislature for the state seal (actually designed by a self-effacing Virginia friend who later became a Confederate General). Lyon then returned to New York to be elected to Congress, where he cultivated friends among anti-slavery “radicals”. In 1864 he was appointed by Abraham Lincoln as the second governor of Idaho Territory, where he came very close to being indicted for embezzlement. Horizontal and vertical folds; large part of the address leaf was torn away and replaced, probably by the recipient, with a piece of paper taken from another letter, not in Lyon’s hand, and using non-archival tape. The Lyon letter itself is complete and in very good condition. (400/600)

Denver: Sept. 25, 1861 Lewis Ledyard Weld (1833-1865), a young Yale graduate, was appointed by Lincoln as the first Secretary of the newly-established Territory of Colorado. In this letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, he is much concerned with government printing contracts, and sends”certain facts which gravely affect the proper administration of Government here and upon which I conceive it to be highly important that your personal opinion should be had, that by it all difficulty may be quelled in the present and avoided in the future...the disposition of the Public Printing in this Territory...in consequence of the well known difficulties which had heretofore arisen in the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska...the matter has assumed the present complications...very detrimental to the public interests....I entreat your pardon for having thus forced upon your notice a matter which may appear trivial, but I assure you sir it is a question vital to the importance and effectiveness of the Federal rule in this Territory...” While this letter is incomplete, it is also an example of a rare autograph of the Civil War. Weld remained in Colorado for two years, serving as Acting Governor, as well as a newspaper editor, and was credited with doing much “to save the Territory to the Union”, despite the large number of Confederate sympathizers in his community. He resigned in 1863 to join the Union Army, volunteering to become Captain of a just-created regiment of “Colored Troops”. While commanding his African-American regiment in action in Virginia, Weld became sick and died of pneumonia in January 1865, at the age of 32, Very good. (200/300)

Little and James Brown, 1844 Originally published in 1840 as a Senate document, titled: “Memoir, Historical and Political, on the Northwest Coast of North America...,” the present edition is much enlarged, with a new map. Wheat describes the map at some length: “Robert Greenhow published in 1844 a large map wholly different from his Burr-drawn map of 1840, drawn this time by George H. Ringgold (not the Cadwalader Ringgold of later California coastal chart fame). It covered `the Western and Middle Portions of North America,’ to illustrate Greenhow’s History of Oregon and California.... The map, while well drawn and engraved, contains nothing original, though it is up-to-date enough to have a bit of Fremont in it, and `Eustis Lake’ is here called `Sublette Lake,’ a survival of Jedediah Smith through Burr or Wilkes. No northern boundary of the `Oregon Region’ is shown west of the Rockies, and since Greenhow was an advocate of at least 54o 40’, he did not even carry the northern boundary across from the mountains on that line. It is said that his History of Oregon and California grew out of his 1840 Memoir. And his reply to Thomas Falconer, and the latter’s rejoinder, followed by a sur-reply and a sur-rejoinder, and so on, form an amusing chapter of Western history.” Cowan p.249; Graff 1652; Howes G389; Sabin 28362; Smith 3842; Wheat Transmississippi 491. Some creasing and chipping to early and late leaves, lightly foxed, folding map with a short closed stub tear and a bit yellowed; very good. (80/120)

Page 23 TWO RARE HAWAIIAN IMPRINTS 77. (Hawaii) Carter, Charles L. The Hawaiian Question. An open letter to Secretary Gresham. 12 pp., stapled. 24.5x15.8 cm. (9¾x6¾”). Honolulu: Star Publishing Co., Ltd. Following the American-led Hawaiian Revolution of 1893 which deposed the monarchy of Queen Liliuokalani, five “Commissioners” went to Washington to represent the revolutionary regime of President Sanford Dole. Arriving weeks before the Inauguration of President Grover Cleveland, the envoys were warmly received by the outgoing President Benjamin Harrison, who proceeded to negotiate a Treaty of U.S. Annexation with the Commissioners. But when Cleveland and Secretary of State Gresham took office the following month, they rejected the Treaty and later denounced the revolutionary actions of the sugar planters. This pamphlet is the response of one of the Commissioners to the Cleveland Administration’s actions. Forbes calls it “An important document...” Forbes 4416. Marginal chips and short tears, lacking wrappers, final leaf detached with adhesion damage affecting text; good condition. (500/800)

First Edition. Honolulu: Makaainana Printing House Print., 1898 After the American-led Hawaiian “Revolution” of 1893 deposed Queen Liliuokalani and ended the Hawaiian monarchy, the ex-Queen commissioned three prominent American residents of the islands to go to Washington to make the case to President Grover Cleveland for the restoration of her “constitutional” Government. She later complained in her 1898 memoirs, “They went and they returned. They brought me no papers giving an official account of their proceedings or actions on the mission...They had absolutely nothing to show me for their time and the expenditure of my money.” This pamphlet, written and published by Judge Widemann, who headed the mission to Washington, responds directly to the Queen’s allegations and offers a defense of the envoys’ diplomatic efforts in Washington and, later, in London. According to the Hawaiian National Bibliography, Lot 78 which located only three copies of this pamphlet, all in Hawaiian institutions, “only a few copies were printed and the pamphlet is very rare.” Forbes 4990. Front wrapper neatly detaches, small chip to lower right corner; the whole with a mild vertical crease, else very good. (1000/1500)

Page 24 IMPORTANT CALIFORNIA LAND CASE 79. Hawes, Horace. Brief Argument Made by Horace Hawes, on Behalf of Unites States, before U.S. Board of Land Commissioners for California, No. 280, at the Request of the U.S. Law Agent. City of San Francisco vs. The United States. 62 pp. 25x16 cm. (9¾x6¼”), unbound signatures, stitched. First Edition. San Francisco: Times and Transcript Steam Presses, 1854 The U.S. Government’s side of one of the most significant California land cases. Streeter notes that “Hawes was on the losing side in this famous case for which Dwinelle’s brief for the city, The Colonial History of the City of San Francisco, Being a Narrative Argument... has become a California classic... It was Hawes’s contention that San Francisco had not been a pueblo within the meaning of the laws of Spain and hence not entitled to the four square leagues it claimed. The real property in interst was not the United States but the large number of people who had filed claims on the land under the land laws of the United States.” Greenwood adds that Hawes “Cites important original documents of Fages, Peralta, and others, dating from Monterey in the 1780’s.” Quite scarce, especially so in this unbound, untrimmed state. Cowan p.365; Greenwood 527; Rocq 11260; Streeter 2763. Some light foxing, title-page a little soiled, small oval bookplate of John C.

Bridger to Ham’s Fork and Smith’s Fork returning to California in the summer of 1854...” - Greenwood. Cowan notes it as “probably the most popular work of its time issued in California,” and Wagner -Camp explains that “In the course of Adams’s adventures, he hunted in the Rocky Mountains, traveling east from California by way of the Walker River and the Humboldt Mountains to Salt Lake in 1854...” Cowan p.284; Howes H543; Wagner-Camp 348; Zamorano Eighty 42.

Paher notes “extensive information about pre-white northern Paiute culture, the types of foods, marriage and other social practices, as well as political leadership. The author championed her people; her book was among the first by an Indian who had grown up in primitive life. The first edition is very scarce.” Graff 1950; Paher 888; Rader 1927; Smith 4618.

These are Owns Heavy Blanket (with a small pictographic sketch); Cecile Short Robe, Crow Feathers (apparently her signature); Yellow Feather, Yellow Head, also known as Weasel Feather but better known as Theodore Last Star (with a small pictographic sketch in addition to the identification); Mike Shortman also known as “Big Mike” (apparently not a signature, just an identification); Little Yellow Man (with his thumb mark); Juniper Oldperson (his signature, with identification as “Judge of the Indian Court); Chief Eagle Calf (giving his sign name of three pictographic symbols, and also with the note that he is “better known as John Ground”); identification of a picture featuring Annie Morning Gun, Night Gun, and Lot 99 Minnie Night Gun (two women and a baby); James White Calf (his signature); Home Gun (with his thumb mark); Chief Owen Heavy Breast (apparently his signature, but with a small pictographic sketch as well); Cut Nose After Buffalo (with his thumb mark); Dog Taking Gun (his signature); Morning Star (apparently her signature); Scalping Woman, who is identified as “Know Generally as Chipping Too Deep Night Street”); Lazy Boy (with his thumb mark); Annie Middle Rider (her signature); Turtle (his signature); a different Lazy Boy (with his thumb mark); Arrow Top (with his thumb mark, and a small sketch, apparently a self portrait); Fish Wolfe Robe (his signature); and Princess Singing in the Clouds, Anna Rita Salvis (her signature).

The book has been neatly rebacked with red cloth matching to color of the boards, and there are expert repairs to the hinges.

The present issue of the map, which was originally published with Frémont’s Geographical Memoir Upon Upper California, came with California Messages and Correspondence, House Ex. Doc. 17, 31st Congress, 1st Session, 1850, and is smaller than the original issue, being confined to the California and Great Basin portions, but is on the same scale.

London: James Wyld, 1841-[c.1845] Uncommon separately issued folding English version of the map originally appearing in the atlas of the quarto edition of Charles Wilkes’ Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition. Important map of the North- west, from Cape Mendocino to Dixon’s Entrance, and east as far as the Black Hills. Wheat states that “This map was in many respects the most detailed of this extensive area yet published, and for the main Oregon region and the Hudson’s Bay Company Lot 108 territories to the north it was an accurate, really quite extraordinary, map. Wilkes did not enter the Great Basin or see any part of the Snake River personally, and therefore drew on other sources, a Jedediah Smith map and some oral information from the Hudson’s Bay Company trappers he met on the Columbia...” Though drawn in 1841, the Wilkes map was not published until 1844, in the rare first edition of Wilkes’ Narrative (limited to 100 copies for presentation to heads of state and other dignitaries, 25 of which were destroyed by fire), with the regular (i.e. “un- official”) quarto edition coming out the following year. Thus “intervening events, such as Fremont’s expedition and map of 1843, were allowed to influence the Wilkes cartography.” (Howes W414; Wheat Transmississippi 457.) Near fine (1000/1500)

REGARDING EDUCATIONAL POLICY 219. Reagan, Ronald. Autograph Letter Signed by Ronald Reagan to his friend and adviser Alex C. Sheriffs, regarding educational policy. 22 lines, in ink, on sheet of White House letterhead 26.5x18 cm. (10½x7”). Washington: Jan. 4, [1984] Excellent letter from President Ronald Reagan to his close friend Alex Sheriffs, who was State Education Adviser when Reagan was Governor of California. Sheriffs, former vice chancellor at the University of California during the days of the free speech movement, had declined Reagan’s offer to come to Washington with his administration, and was now chancellor at California State University, Long Beach. The letter to Sheriffs demonstrates Reagan’s rather wry sense of humor as well as his conservative views. Reagan writes: “Dear Alex, Thanks very much for your good letter & generous words. It was good Lot 219 to hear from you. Enclosed is probably much more that you need. I assume the L.A. Times article was probably referring to the Dec. 8 speech in Indianapolis. But just to be on the safe side here is everything I’ve said all the way back to June. Don’t feel you have to read them all - they’ll be great on the bottom of a cage if you have a canary. I heard from a civil liberty type about my remarks on discipline. He took the attitude that I was advocating a police state. Well the most recent figures we’ve compiled show our schools to be about the most crime ridden sector of our society. And guess what?? black students are the majority of victims. Nancy sends her best. Again thanks. Sincerely, Ron.” Accompanied by the ten transcripts of speeches on education policy that Reagan had forwarded to Sheriffs, including the Dec. 8 speech. Also, there is a typed letter from Reagan to Sheriffs, dated July 17, 1981, thanking him for a letter - with a secretarial signature. Fine condition. (3000/5000)

Clarksville, TN: January 12, 1831 Historically significant letter from former congressman from Tennessee James B. Reynolds (1779-1851) to the founder and editor of the influential Niles Weekly Register. The letter mainly treats of Nullification, the constitution theory that individual states may nullify federal laws, to which Reynolds is opposed, “When I left Congress in 1825, my state was then in favor of internal improvements and in judicious tariff, but see how it has chang’d in Congress since Genl. Jackson’s elevation?... You, my dear sir, have my sincere thanks...for always being the firm and bold sentinel of the American people, in sounding the alarm, and guarding their liberty and constitutions of the union. It is no matter, whether the enemy appears in the shape of a Hartford convention man or a wealthy negroe driving cotton planter, you are with eagle eye steadily at your post... against the nullifiers in the South...” Tear and hole from unsealing, mild soling, very good.

Page 61 RUSSIANS COME TO SAN FRANCISCO’S AID DURING CIVIL WAR 223. (San Francisco) James, Charles. Autograph Letter Signed by Charles James as Collector of the Custom House in San Francisco, to Lieutenant C. M. Scammon, Commanding Revenue Cutter Shubrick. One page, on single sheet of lined paper 15.5x20 cm. (10x8”). San Francisco: Oct. 13, 1863 Charles James writes: “On receipt of this order, you will proceed at once with the Shubrick to Mare Island to have a rifled Cannon put on board of her. And remain until the work is finished. taking with you any carpenters you may require who are qualified for the work. You will also take as guests any officers in the Russian Service who may desire to accompany you on the expedition.” The letter reflects an uncomfortable time for the citizenry of San Francisco, and support from our Russian friends. The city’s residents were living in daily fear of bombardment by Confederate cruisers, and in October 1863, the week that this letter was written, heavily-armed warships of the Czarist Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet anchored in San Francisco Bay, offering some modicum of protection. Prior to their arrival, the only armed US vessel in the harbor was the U.S. Revenue Cutter Shubrick, a small steamer had no heavy armament. Her commander was Lt. Charles Melville Scammon, the recipient of this letter, a former whaling Captain from Maine who became so fascinated by the grey whales he had hunted off Baja California that he later turned naturalist, publishing the 1874 scientific classic, The Marine Mammals of the North-western Coast of North America. When he received this order from the Collector of Customs, Scammon had already endeared himself to the Russians by helping rescue 160 men of a Czarist warship which had been wrecked off Point Reyes. Some darkening, very good. (500/800)

Section II: Early Kentucky Documents 336. Adair, John. Two manuscript documents, the first a bill of sale for several slaves and other property (apparently a fair copy with proxy signature), the second an agreement to manage Adair’s farm, signed twice by Adair. The first document is 1½ pages on both sides of single sheet, 32.5x19 cm., with the remaining space being used for figures; the second is 14 lines on sheet 15x19 cm., with verso used for receipt of payments to William Bridges. Mercer County, Kentucky: 1807 & 1816 An interesting pair of documents from the Kentucky pioneer who was the eighth Governor of Kentucky and represented the state in both the U.S. House and Senate following his service in the American Revolution. In the first document, Adair “in consideration of the sum of thirteen hundred & sixty six dollars... do sell & convey unto John L. Bridges... the following property to wit one Negroe woman by the name of Lotty together with all her children that is Winny Archy Maria Peter & Lewis also a Negroe man named bob & a Waggon... I have also sold & conveyed unto the said Bridges all my present stock of horses in number six & all the stock of cattle which I now possess...” The second document, which is in Adair’s hand and is signed by him, reads in part “Ambrose Bridges of Mercer County agrees to take charge and act as manager on the farm on which I reside on Shawnee Run for the ensuing year with the stock and negroes that are now on or may be put on the farm, for which services I agree... to pay him two hundred dollars... this 3rd day of Jany. 1816. John Adair,” and underneath, in a different pen but the same hand, “The above service has been performed by Ambrose Bridges to by full satisfaction, Dec. 30th, 1816. John Adair.” Some soiling and aging, very good. (500/800)

Page 99 TWO MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY DANIEL BOONE 337. Boone, Daniel. Manuscript promissory note signed by Daniel Boone as witness. 5 lines, in ink, on slip of paper 5.5x18.5 cm. (2¼x7¼”). Limestone [now Maysville], Kentucky: Feb. 3, 1786 Signed by Daniel Boone as witness, and by Ebenezer S. Platt, the promisor. The note, which appears to be in Boone’s hand, reads: “For value received I promise to pay to Mr. Hugh McClintock on order fifteen pounds current money of Virginia on or before the first day of April next, as witness by hand & seal at Limestone this third day of February 1786.” Boone settled in Limestone (renamed Maysville in 1786) following the American Revolution. In 1787, he was elected to the Virginia state assembly as a representative from Bourbon County. In Maysville, he kept a tavern and worked as a surveyor, horse trader, and land speculator. Paper browned, old folds, two tape repairs on verso, tiny chip at top edge; very good. (3000/5000)

Lot 337

338. Boone, Daniel. Manuscript note signed by Daniel Boone 1786. 5 lines, in ink, on slip of paper 5.5x18.5 cm. (2¼x7¼”). Limestone [now Maysville], Kentucky: Feb. 3, 1786 Daniel Boone, the most famous of all American frontiersmen, writes that he will cover a promissory note from Ebenezer Platt to Hugh McClintock, “Sir, As Capt. Platt hath left his storehouse and all other concerns in my hands in order to raise the cash I will oblige myself to pay the cash at the time the note specifies or before witness my hand this 3rd day of Feby. 1786, Daniel Boone.” Boone settled in Limestone (renamed Maysville in 1786) following the American Revolution. In 1787, he was elected to the Virginia state assembly as a representative from Bourbon County. In Maysville, he kept a tavern and worked as a surveyor, horse trader, and land speculator. Paper browned, old folds, three tape repairs on verso; very good. (3000/5000)

Lot 338

Page 100 339. Clark, George Rogers. Six documents relating to George Rogers Clark, one of them signed by him. Includes: Note from Buckner Pittman to James Agnew, instructing him to pay Clark 4 pounds and 4 shillings for 14 days work (equivalent to 14 dollars), signed by Pittman and also by Clark acknowledging payment. Clark was working as a surveyor at this time, charting the Kentucky lands granted to veterans of the Revolutionary War. (the document is soiled). * Partially printed summons, filled out in ink, instructing Clark to appear at Jefferson County Court. Signed by clerk William Johnston. 1787. * Manuscript listing of items sold to Clark by John Tavenden from June 1799 to Jan. 1800, mostly cloth or clothing items, with account. (this document darkened). 1800. * Promissory note signed by Thomas Fletcher for 16 pounds 11 shillings 8 pence owed to Clark. 1800. * Promissory note signed by Henry French for 26 pounds 1 shilling 9 pence owed to Clark. 1800. * Appearance bond to Clark for 26 pounds 1 shilling 9 pence signed by Henry French and James Hermes. 1801. Kentucky: 1786-1801 Documentation of parts of George Rogers Clark’s life following his glory years of the Revolution, when his fortune was reduced, his drinking increased, and his reputation tarnished. Good to very good condition. (500/800)

340. (Commerce) . Seven holograph letters relating to business and commerce in Kentucky. Various sizes, in ink. Kentucky & New Orleans: 1818-1860 Includes: Letter from Jack Pryor to Robert Wickliffe, letting him know how his affairs in Bedford, KY, are proceeding, “I have received from your Tobaco Warehouse $70.50... Lumber House $10.00... from your tenants on vanse claim 164.25... from your tenants on Howard’s Claim $203.00...” 1818. * Letter to John Hulson(?) from a correspondent in Florence, KY., relating that his apples were all spoiled, and itemizing his losses, etc. 1825. * Letter from J.T. Hart in Lancaster, KY, to his sister, with sparse commercial content but noting “It has been raining here all winter and spring and the farmers are very backward about planting corn...” 1850. * Letter from G.B. Hodge in Newport, KY., regarding rent owed on a farm which must be paid with a note, and itemizing some mitigating expenditures. 1860. * Three letters to W. & J.D. Swift in Louisville, KY, one from C.D. Hulford in New Orleans two from Samuel Bell in New Orleans, mostly relating to Bugging (?) and rope sales. 1842. Some wear, two New Orleans letters chipped with loss of a few words; overall very good. (300/500)

341. Cowan, John. Two autograph notes signed by John Cowan, one also by Anne Harrod. Each on half-sheet of paper, approx. 13x20 cm. (5x8”), in ink. Kentucky: 1801 The more interesting note regards the use of a depositions in a court case, whether both sides could use copies of the same depositions, or new ones must be taken. Cowan writes to a Wm. Moor saying he had heard that Anne Harrod would agree to the use, and on the back Harrod writes “...I have no objection to have the red in the suit without puting you to the trouble of takeing them over again. Anne Harrod.” This is likely the Anne Harrod who was the widow of Kentucky pioneer James Harrod, who mysteriously disappeared (some say murdered) in 1792, leaving a considerable estate to his wife and daughter. The other note regards a shipment of salt from a Mr. Burckhart. Bother very good. (300/500)

Page 101 342. Fisher, Stephen, George Slaughter etc. Manuscript document binding Fisher and Slaughter to John Reed for the sum of 24 pounds. 17 lines, in ink, on sheet 33x20.5 cm. (13¼x8”). Kentucky: Jan. 20, 1787 The 24 pound bond can be negated by a payment of 12 pounds by Slaughter to Reed by Jan. 1st of the following year. Stephen Fisher, co-signer of the bond, was one of the earliest and most influential settlers along Dick’s (now Dix) River in what is now Lincoln, Boyle, and Mercer counties. He fought in the Revolutionary War, defending interior settlements from British and Indian attacks. Also signed by Sam. Pryor and N. Huston as witnesses, and by John Reed on the verso, when he transfers the bond to Walter Beall. Some edge wear and soiling, very good. (300/500)

343. Garrard, James. Manuscript deposition of James Garrard, 2nd Governor of Kentucky, regarding land fraud. 4 pp., on 4-page legal lettersheet. 34x21 cm. (13½x8¼”). Kentucky: March 5, 1804 Deposition made by James Garrard towards the end of his second term as governor of Kentucky, defending himself against a lawsuit brought by Philemon Thomas with respect to land claims and sales. The granting of land in Kentucky to veterans of the American Revolution coupled with the uncertainty of surveys, and undoubtedly some corruption, led to myriad lawsuits as the courts attempted to sort the claims out, and even a sitting governor was not exempt. Philemon Thomas, who brought the suit, was born in Virginia, served in the American forces during Revolutionary War and later moved to Kentucky. He was a member of Kentucky’s Constitutional Convention and served in the state House and state Senate. In 1806 he moved to Louisiana, and was in the House of Representatives for two terms. The document was recorded, and is signed, by Laban Shipp. A few months after this deposition was given, Garrard’s son married Shipp’s daughter. Some browning, neat archival repair to horizontal split; very good. (300/500)

DEPOSITION SIGNED BY CHARLES GRATIOT

RELATING TO GEORGE ROGERS CLARK 344. Gratiot, Charles, Sr. Manuscript deposition signed by Charles Gratiot, relating to his suit to recover some $8,000 he loaned to George Rogers Clark during the latter’s Illinois Campaign during the Revolutionary War. 2 pp., on 4-page lettersheet, with the instructions requesting the deposition, signed by court clerk Worden Pope, affixed to p.3, docketed on p.4. 31x21 cm. (12¼x8¼”). St. Louis & Louisville: 1799 Important deposition in the case of George Rogers Clark’s attempt to receive compensa- tion for expenses during his Illinois Campaign in 1778. Clark is suing Samuel Shan- non, executor for William Shannon, deceased, and Gratiot was involved in the case, having famously supplied Clark during the campaign from his store at Cahokia. The deposition was taken in St. Louis by Carlos [Charles] Dehault Delassus, Upper Loui- siana’s last Spanish lieutenant Lot 344 governor who was to transfer the territory to the United

Page 102 States following the Louisiana Purchase; Delassus attests to the deposition with 7 lines in French, signs it, and seals it. Gratiot’s testimony revolves around “two bills belonging to said Linetot one of 3836 2/5 dollars another of 1539 3/5 dollars or 7698 livres drawn by Wm. Shannon on Col. Geo. Rogers Clarke for sundry peltries received, that I presented said bills to the commissioners appointed to settle the claims of the Illinois country that they refusing payment, I presented said bills to the said Col. Geo. Rogers Clarke then in Richmond, and having instituted suit... did receive from said Clarke the amount of said bills in officers and soldiers certificates which to took at par that is dollar for dollar...” Some soiling, pp. 2-3 (and the instructions from Pope) are splitting horizontally; very good. (1000/1500)

345. Greenup, Christopher. Three documents signed by Christopher Greenup, later third Governor of Kentucky. Includes: Partially printed warrant, filled out in ink, directing the sheriff of Mercer County to apprehend James Harrod on the charge of trespass. 17.5x21.5 cm.

Jan. 3, 1792. * Manuscript document in Greenup’s hand, ordering a survey of property in Fayette County to resolve a dispute brought by Green Clay against Francis Kirkley. 22x19.5 cm. Feb./ 27, 1792. Together, 3 documents. Each signed by Christopher Greenup, the second twice. Kentucky [Commonwealth of Virginia]: 1786 & 1792 Christopher Greenup (c.1750-1818) was one of the first U.S. Representatives from and the third Governor of Kentucky. Greenup settled in the District of Kentucky in 1781, and was active in business and politics, and an early advocate of Kentucky statehood. These documents are signed in his capacity as clerk of the Commonwealth of Virginia - Kentucky was admitted as a state on June 1, 1792. Some fading and minor soiling, very good. (500/800)

ALL SALES HELD BY PBA GALLERIES ARE CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2328 OF THE COMMERCIAL CODE AND SECTION 535 OF THE PENAL CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA CONSIGNING BOOKS TO PBA GALLERIES The first step in consigning to PBA is to contact the Galleries, either by phone, fax, email or letter. It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is
