About This Item
Los Angeles, Dawson's Bookshop 1961. 83 pp. 1st in 8vol. series. Burgandy cloth lettered in gilt and marbles paper over boards; map endpapers from John H. Hittell, Limantour Claim. Limited to 200 copies printed by Richard J. Hoffman. Inside pages in very good condition: no yellowing except on outer edges of pages, yellowing does not extend inward to text. No writing, highlighting; no dog-earing, rips, or tears. Some tiny spotting/marks on first few pages. No dust jacket. Outside boards in good condition with no dents, but some fraying and shelf wear on cover edges and corners, particularly on bottom. Spine good, unbroken, tiny fray at bottom. This book is in good shape.(Please see pictures) Almost every early California history mentions Limantour's fraudulent land claims; this book contains details extracted by the author from four large volumes of transcript of the decision in 1858 by Ogden Hoffman, judge of the federal court in San Francisco, denying Limantour's claim to most of San Francisco, Alcatraz, Yerba Buena and the Farallones.
