About This Item
Washington DC: W. H. Moore Printer, 1875. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. This is an original publication and reads: " on appeal from the decision of the Honorable Commissioner of the General Land Office, dated June 21, 1875" and placed before the Secretary of the Interior. The booklet further explains that on June 8, 1846, Pio Pico, Governor of California, sold to Santiago Arguello " the Mission of San Diego with all its lands and property belonging to it, both in town and country". On 1852 additional petitions were filed with the Board of Land Commissioners, and was confirmed in 1855. This 17 page document goes on to explain how the case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court but by 1869 the Surveyor General of California instructed his deputy to make an official survey of the roughly 58,000 acres in question. This is the Brief For Claimants and explains key points in various depositions and cross examinations as well as multiple testimonies. Pale purple paper exterior bound with single 3-inch staple at center. First page shows corner darkening as shown in photos cover has staining. No signatures or pencil mark noted. See photos.

Terms of Sale

Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
