The United States contended that the pueblo of San Francisco never existed, which would have invalidated the city’s claim for

Page 10 thousands of acres. Dwinelle, the city’s special counsel, successfully argued against the federal government in both the district and circuit courts, and in so doing amassed a mountain of documentary evidence on the history of San Francisco during the Spanish and Mexican periods. Cowan notes that most of the documents supporting Dwinelle’s argument “are now either inac- cessible or destroyed.” Additional material was added to later editions as the case moved from trial to appeal.

London: Printed for the Proprietors, 1850 A popular work directed towards prospective English gold seekers, with “sage advice” on such details as the arrival at port, fares, outfits, and conduct on board ship. Though Howes calls it “One of the fullest and most interesting of contemporary accounts,” Kurutz describes it as a “scissors-and-paste creation compiled from the writings of Americans such as John C. Fremont and Bayard Taylor and excerpts taken from English eye-witnesses published in English newspapers.” Some copies contained nine hand-colored plates instead of the present three, but most copies examined by Kurutz had only three, as the present copy. The plates are quite striking, and the coloring vibrant, with the frontispiece showing a wagon train on the move, the pictorial title depicting gold panning, and within a view of an encampment in the Sacramento Valley; the map covers the American West with the California Gold region colored in yellow. Cowan p.93; Graff 1347; Howes F178; Kurutz 242; Sabin 9973; Streeter 2623; Wheat Books 4; Wheat Maps 144. Embossed institutional stamp on plates and several text leaves; very good. (1500/2500)

Page 12 RARE CALIFORNIA GOLD QUARTZ WAKING STICK 44. (Gold Quartz Walking Sticking) California Presentation Gold and Gold Quartz Walking Stick. 35” presentation walking stick with elaborately engraved solid gold knob inset with a 1¼” octagonal piece of natural California gold in quartz, and upturned engraved side flutes. The wood shaft is made of a grained fruitwood fitted with a brass cap at the opposite end. The stick is engraved in the side flutes in each panel with the names Adolphe and Hortence, and then the presentation “a leur pere”, and the fanciful initials LR (Lazare Roos). San Francisco: 19th century The walking stick was presented by Adolphe Roos (1837-1908) and his sister Hortence (or Hortense) (1839-?) to their father Lazare Roos (1809-?) in San Francisco. Members of an early French Jewish family who emigrated to San Francisco from the Alsace and Lorraine areas of France, the Roos brothers, Adolphe, Hypolite and Achille, founded the first Roos Bros. clothing and department store in 1865 with Hypolite soon moving to the booming mining town of Virginia City, Nevada to open a branch there, while Adolphe and Achille managed the San Francisco store at 35 and 37 Kearny Street. Adolphe Roos was directly responsible for the financial and buying operations of the business and the brothers maintained a progressive outlook on merchandising techniques to establish the steady financial growth of their business. In the 1880’s they were one of the first to operate a clothing store on a multi level site, and found that customers were willing to climb a flight of stairs to take advantage of superior, trustworthy merchandise, fairly priced. After the 1906 earthquake and fire, Roos Bros. moved the records from the store to the Adolphe Roos home on Jackson Street and then as the city recovered in 1908, opened a brand new department store at Stockton and Market Streets which became the largest store in the Roos Bros. organization. Roos Bros. grew to be one of the largest clothing store chains on the West Coast with stores from San Francisco to Los Angeles, until it became Roos-Atkins in the 1960’s. Gold Quartz walking sticks and canes are prized California collectibles and more detailed information about them with many illustrations can be found in Witherall, California’s Best, Old West Art & Antiques. Accompanying the lot is a copy of Insley, The Story Of Roos Bros., Outfitters Since 1865, San Francisco, Privately Printed, 1945. 8vo, 50pp printed on handmade paper by Taylor & Taylor, slipcase. This is the printer’s copy with the bookplate of the Library of Taylor & Taylor. The book contains considerable information on the life of Adolphe Roos. Provenance: Descended in the Roos family to our consignor. The walking stick in fine condition, protected in a soft cloth case. Light wear to the book slipcase, volume fine. (20000/30000)

Page 13 ORIGINAL DIARY RECORDING A YEAR IN THE NORTHERN MINING DISTRICT, 1851, WITH MANUSCRIPT MAP 45. (Gold Rush Diary) McKinley, John J. Manuscript Diary recording a full year of life in the northern mining district around Nevada City, California, with manuscript map.

Nevada City region, Cal.: 1851 Fascinating and revealing day-by-day diary recording a gold-seeker’s life in the northern mines, with a rare manuscript map of Horseshoe Bar, near Foresthill, California, on the Middle Fork of the American River just below today’s Oxbow/Ralston Dam. At the beginning of the diary is written “This Book is the property of John J. McKinley 1851, Bought Nevada Jan. 1st, price $1.50 cts. Correct journal kept by me in the gold mines of California…” McKinley has written an entry for every single day, all but 3 or 4 in ink, very legible throughout. At the beginning of each entry, he gives the amount of money he earned that day – sometimes from wages working for another, sometimes his share of the proceeds from mining and panning gold. His success at mining was mixed, and he eventually spent most of his time working for others. His health was often not good, the labor hard, and on Sundays, when he was not working, he was very homesick. A very significant and rare first hand record – diaries kept in the mining districts are much scarcer than those kept on the voyages out, whether by land or by sea. Some entries follow.

Autograph Letter Signed by Harvey Chapman, written from Panama on the way to California, to his wife in Ohio. 2 pp., on 4-page lettersheet, address and postmark on p.3. 31.5x19.5 cm. (12½x7¾”). Panama on the Isthmus: Dec. 31, 1849 Rare letter sent from Panama in 1849 by a gold seeker, describing his journey thus far and something of the country, “...We left Kenton on the 4th of this month & came by Cincinatti, Orlens & the West Indies to Shagres on the Ismus then we crossed the Ismus on foot to this place and will leave here next Sunday for San Francisco on a fine ship. The people here are all Black & speak the Spanish Language and they are verry kind the weather is intensely hot the hottest days in Ohio is nowhere we bathe every morning when we can find water. We are on the sea shore now in an ______city which once flourished but is going to ruins... We have oranges lemons & all the fruit here we want...” After expressing his love for Caroline, he gets back to matters at hand, “There is a great many people here from the gold minds some have made their fortunes & are going home while others are drinking & gambling fortunes away. One man was with us going to California who had been home in Ohio & left 13 thousand dollars which he dug last summer in 3 months he says any fool can dig that much but they will gamble & drink it out as fast as he gets it...” Some darkening to the paper, ¼x1¼” piece missing where the acidic ink ate into the paper, affecting several words; very good.

There was a man come from the mines today the part we are going to who dug seven thousand dollars in one day if I get that much in one day I will start home the next... I would never advise any one to come to California that can make a living at home the long voiage at sea the sufferings & deprivations having to use stinking water & spoiled meat & bread full of worms & bugs & hot sultry climate as we had to pass through to get here is more than humans can endure...

(9½x7½”). San Diego, CA: Jan. 15, 1851 Fletcher has a rather pessimistic view of the Golden State, “California at present has a very gloomy prospect for a man to make much in, times are very hard thousands out of employment and working for their board, it seems rather hard for the poor fellows that has come out with the expectation of amassing a fortune in a short time... Things are still very high boarding is from ten to fifteen dollars per week and every thing is in proportion... Please tell every one that has any notions of coming to his country to abandon them at once for I dare say that there is more misery in this country than in any state of the Union, in fact such a thing as comfort not one in ten thinks of enjoying, there some that wallow in luxuries as in every place but they have to pay for it...” Some fading and staining, a few short splits to the paper; about very good.

Gaylord, at Big-Bar, to his uncle in Illinois. 3 pp., on 4-page lettersheet, addressed with Sacramento postmark on p.4. 25x19 cm. (9¾x7½”). Big-Bar: June 21, 1850 Letter from an emigrant who had crossed the plains in ‘49. After the usual inquiries about news from home, Gaylord remarks “We have not been able to do anything in the mines since February on account of the high water caused by the melting of the snow - the streams are still high, but falling... My time of late has been spent in climbing up the hills & down into the valleys & over the snows, rocks & canyon, of the mountains... George Hendricks & Joseph are with us now they spent the winter at Hangtown... We hear from other sources that there will be a greater emigration across the plains than there was last season they little know what is before them, no more I presume than we did when we left... There is to be an election of Justices & Constables this afternoon which I wish to attend I therefore shorten my letter somewhat...” It is presumed that this is the Big Bar in Placer County.

Downieville, CA: Feb. 22, 1852 After instructing his brother to sell the gold dust he is sending back (“It is worth more at the mint than 16$ per ounce and I would like you to get as much as you can for it”), he warns his brother about life in California should he decide to come, and describes his mining activities in detail. “Mining is a hard life, much harder than you have any idea of. I will give you a description of what I am doing. In the first place I get on the rope and am let down... a shaft. I light a candle walk some 30 of 40 feet under ground and commence drifting. I carry a drift about five feet high sometimes the drift dirt pays for washing sometimes not when the drift is cleaned out of dirt I take a sledge hammer a gad and pole pick and cut up the bed rock as much as possible to get the gold out of the seam and crevices of the bed rock down some 3 or 4 feet at times, this is call Coyota diggins...” Later, “Downieville was completely burnt down on the night of 20th December it caught at a house called the Magnolia and when it broke I ran to town and helped the storekeepers to save their goods till the fire drove me out, no lives were lost except two pigs who perished in the flames... The people are putting up canvas houses there is a dozen or more completed at this time... Do not...be enticed by the newspaper reports of California for they are false, it is a complete lottery in making your fortune here and one brother in the Gold diggins is enough...” Fine condition, well written, neat and legible throughout.

St. Mary’s, at that time serving in the Pacific Squadron, with much on the California Gold Rush which was erupting into full force. After the usual commiserating about the slowness of mail (he was planning on sending this letter on the U.S.S. Dale which was returning to the East Coast), he turns to the excitement in California: “I will give you a small sketch in this letter about gold in California if you ever red Col. Mayson letter publish in the newspaper that is a true statement... When the gold was first discovered as I told you before every farmer and every Indians every body els put of for the minds what soilders all run to the minds and done well but their was so many people their that they had nothing to eat any more up at the minds at one time flour asw as high as 1 hundred & 50 dollars per barrel...

I would run to the minds but if I did I would never expect to to git home...” A later pencil notation indicates the letter was indeed “Sent by U.S.S. Dale around the Horn,” and the New York postmark shows it arrived in the east on August 25th, some five months after Hughes wrote it. Small hole from being unsealed, affecting a few words, else very good or better. (600/900)

We are situated on the Yuba River at the mouth of Deer Creek about 70 miles from Sacramento City the gold on Yuba River is very fine and wants great care to save it.

At Hallappa we have transported our baggage on pack mules which we find a much faster way of traveling.... Many of our party have been obliged to sell their clothing and arms which they carried for raising means to carry them through... I find the Mexicans to be, generally speaking, a poor, ignorant and worthless race of beings ready to take every advantage of the Americans they possibly can in the way of stealing or cheating us or even taking our lives dare they do it.

He is a partner in a large commercial house, doing a safe & I believe profitable business, with money & influence at command, and I have only my two hands and not a very good head for getting along, to depend on. Do not think I wish to complain, for I am doing very well, much better than many that came out with me, and my health continues to be good... My brother works with me in company, in a scow Robert purchased for us, we are to pay him on third of the receipts until we can earn enough to pay for it...

I have made enough so that you will not be a looser which you shal have as soon as I can get it to you our money is principally in stock...

(9½x7½”). Sacramento, CA: Oct. 22, 1849 Significant letter describing business transactions that drove the growth of California as much as the gold found in the hills. Taylor writes to Jonathan S. Harris, his senior partner or employer, about his efforts to sell a store, “...I tried to sell to Harris Fitch but he would only offer 23 per cent on cost of goods and building including freight & I thought that not enough... I soon after had an opportunity to sell the building for 1150 dollars and the goods at 22 percent advance except the pain killer that is out on commission with Mr. Palmer who is in company with a Dr. Angle in the Drug business. The tobacco that was consigned to Joel is left in the store to be sold as they would not take it as the sale is slow there is more in this country than will be used in ten years...” He later asks that a letter be forwarded to “Mrs. White mother of Nelson White... it bears the unwelcome news of his death, he died on the 4th October of a fever he was sick several weeks he was taken car of by the Odd Fellows...” And as for poor Joel, he too has apparently passed on, “If you wish Joel to have a set of Grave Stones you can have them cut and shipped to me and I will set them.

E.B. Chase.” And below that, in an even larger and bolder hand, “E.B. Chase Private Log as Master of Radiant Apr. 1863.” The nine voyages are: RADIANT (no. 1): London to Mauritius, March 31, 1863 to June 16, 1863; Port Louis (Mauritius) to Liverpool, September 10, 1863 to November 19, 1863; Liverpool to Calcutta, January 15, 1864 to April 27, 1864.

The daily entries are primarily concerned with the sailing conditions, weather, wind, etc., also what sails are used, whether the ship was making water, ships sighted, and more, concluding with the longitude, latitude, barometric pressure and temperature. On Oct. 1st, 1863, “Began blowing a tremendous heavy gale from WNW ship under goose wing m.t. sail & foot m. spence f.t stay sail sea very high & irregular breaking aboard fore & aft. 3 p.m. blowing a perfect hurricane… blowing heavy between ship rolling deep & laboring badly wind veering 3 points to west…” On May 20, 1866, arrival in San Francisco: “…At 3 p.m. saw the land to the NW, 5 p.m. saw Cape or Point Reyes …Saw NW Farallon… Pt. Bonita ENE rounded 25 fathoms at 1 am backed main yard took a pilot at 6 am came to anchor… Ship mak- ing 24 inches of water per day.” On Nov. 8, 1866, following a strong squall, “Daylight found we had stove in bow bulwark started head knees & split & washed away some of the figure head. Ends moderate but so much head sea cannot carry sail…” On Dec. 25, 1866, “Christmas Day rather damp – had mock turtle soup roast pig cranberry sauce green peas & vegetables and a huge plum duff with cold sauce for dinner – so much for being off Patigonian shore.” And on July 4, 1867, “…treated all hands to whiskey punch in honor of our Independence Day…” During the voyages from the east coast of the U.S. to San Francisco a tally of the days the pas- sage took was kept. The journal is kept in a neat and legible hand. Wear to covers, portion of marbled paper peeled off from the boards; some minor, mostly marginal dampstaining, mostly towards the rear, overall very good for such a journal. (5000/8000)

Moore, and J.B. Ormiston, and it was edited by Gilbert and J.E. Durivage.

Much of the content is comprised of advertisements and notices, with some local news of interest, prices current etc. Among the items of interest in the Feb.1 issue is the “arrival of Col.

111 ISSUES OF THE SAN JOSE TRIBUNE, 1856-1858 161. (Newspapers) The San Jose Tribune. Bound volume of 111 issues. Weekly. Broken Run, Vol. 4, No. 6 (Aug. 13, 1856) to Vol. 6, No. 26 (Dec. 24, 1858). 59x44.5 cm. (23¼x17½”), contemporary quarter calf, marbled paper sides, with the gilt-stamped leather ownership label on the upper board of W. R. Davis. San Jose: G. George & C. W. Kendall [& Wm R. Davis], 1856-58 A run of issues of The San Jose Tribune, a weekly that commenced publication in 1854 and ceased in late 1862 or ‘63. This volume was assembled by or for William R. Davis, whose name is gilt-stamped on the front cover, and who was co-publisher of the newspaper for a little over a year, from December, 1856, to April, 1858. The earliest issues present, beginning in August, 1856, are a broken run, attesting to the difficulty even then of assembling a complete run of local newspaper after the fact, as apparently Davis was attempting to do. The volume begins with volume 4, number 6 and skips 17 issues to resume with numbers 19 to 34. Number 35 is not present, but the run is complete after that from volume 4, number 36 to volume 6, number 26, December 1858, at which time Davis is no longer a co-publisher. There is no evidence that issues have been removed. The majority of the early issues have owner’s names written in the upper margins - more than 25 different ones - probably an indication that these issues were culled from subscriber’s copies that were returned, not received or never picked up at the newspaper office. Each issue consists of four pages: two pages dedicated to news, followed by two pages of advertisements. The content of both the news and advertisements is typical for a newspaper of its era. OCLC does not record a complete run of The San Jose Tribune, though the California State Library in Sacramento has a nearly complete run (lacking apparently only the first volume). Binding rubbed; one issue repaired; three issues torn in the middle (without significant loss); numerous minor tears and folds; but overall in very decent condition. (1200/2000)

First Edition. Oakland, CA: Pacific Press, 1891 “Captain Swasey arrived in California in 1845 and was in the employ of both Captain Sutter at Sutter’s Fort and American Consul Thomas O. Larkin at Monterey. He had first hand information on all the early happenings and knew personally nearly all of the important pioneers. He was a member of Fremont’s Battalion on his march south into Los Angeles. Much of the book is taken up with biographical sketches of important pioneers. The book has always been considered an authority” - Zamorano. Cowan notes that Swasey “wrote easily, and his work forms a reliable picture of the men and events of the early days, more especially San Francisco.” Kurutz notes the work as especially valuable for information about California before the gold discovery, and calls it “more of a history than a memoir.” Cowan p.627; Graff 4047; Howes S1167; Kurutz 615; Streeter Sale 3012; Zamorano Eighty #72.

One of the most influential and widely read books on the California Gold Rush. A successful author and correspondent with the New York Tribune, Bayard Taylor went to California specifically to record the Gold Rush. The Zamorano Eighty notes that “This work by an eminent writer and artist is probably the outstanding book on the early gold rush in California. The author’s description of the Constitutional Convention at Monterey is the best we have, as are also the views he gives us of the earliest mining camps.

Page 64 Page 65 The Alex Schwed Collection of Clipper Ship Sailing Cards

Bruce D. Roberts

Clipper ship sailing cards are at the forefront of the Alex Schwed collection of Gold Rush historical artifacts. These cards were issued to advertise specific voyages of clipper ships, primarily from New York and Boston to San Francisco. Clipper card usage was light in the early 1850s but picked up in the mid-1850s, then sailed strongly ahead from the late 1850s through most of the 1860s.

Clipper cards represent the first pronounced use of color in American advertising art. They are invariably the most eye-catching items in any Gold Rush collection – assuming there are any. Relatively few (perhaps 3,500) cards survive today, and most reside in permanent institutional collections.

The overwhelming majority of clipper ship cards were printed in New York and Boston, and these cards are well-represented in Alex’s collection. A tiny number of cards were printed in San Francisco for the “return trip” east, as well as for Asian and Pacific destinations. San Francisco cards are missing from most collections, yet the Alex Schwed collection boasts four, including one for the Young America, one of the most celebrated of all American clipper ships.

Augmenting the clipper cards in this auction are some early billheads, as well as the single finest group of steamship trade cards ever offered in one place.

In recent years, Alex has turned his attention to Native American basketry, where he has already built one of the finest private collections in the world. This development now gives you the opportunity to participate in the first significant auction of clipper ship cards since the celebrated Robert A. Siegel sale in 1990.

RARE BAS-RELIEF PORTRAIT BY ISAIAH TABER 338. (Bas-Relief Portrait) Taber, Isaiah West and Freeman A. Bas-relief photograph portrait of George Fritch. Platinum “Bas-Relief ” photograph portrait of the California pioneer George Fritch. Circular, 14.5 cm. (5¾”) in diameter. In original mat, overall measures 22.3x22.3 cm. (8¾x8¾”). With Taber’s imprint embossed beneath the photograph and printed on the back of the mat. San Francisco: Taber, 1901 A rare Taber bas-relief photograph of George Fritch (b.1829) at age 72 in the year 1901, as per the information written in ink on back. Fritch, a San Francisco coal dealer, at one time operated several schooner to and from the city. A wealthy man and named among the pioneers of California, he was among the few who could afford the very expensive bas-relief portraits offered by Taber Studio in San Francisco. These “embossed photographs” were patented in 1896 by Freeman A. Taber (1841-1910) and marketed by his brother Isaiah West Taber. The brothers operated a studio in New York, then later in San Francisco and a syndicate in London. They produced some “embossed” postcards. Very few bas-relief portraits were produced as they were too expensive for the masses. Only five other known Taber bas-reliefs exist, including portraits of Thomas Hill (sold by PBA Galleries in 2007), I.W. Taber portrait (Bancroft library), Mrs. M.Morris and unknown woman (National Library of Australia), Amzi L. Barber (Oberlin College archive), and Raphael Weill (California Historical Society).

The pictures included many of James and Ella together, also snapshots of game action - possibly taken by Ella herself as she attended games in which her beau played. Many of the pictures have pencil notes on them identifying the subjects. Wear to covers, fading to some images, overall very good. (300/500)

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.
