Description:
Chicago: D.B. Cooke & Co., 1855.. Handcolored folding map, 28 x 21 1/2 inches (72 x 54 1/2 cm). 12mo. Original embossed cloth boards, title stamped in gilt. Cloth a bit rubbed and sunned, minor tanning and foxing. Very good. A rare and handsome early railroad pocket map of Illinois. The lefthand side contains an index of railroads present on the map, including those in-progress, and an index of towns and connecting service is printed on the right. The map itself is lithographed by Henry Acheson, with handcolored yellow, pink and green state boundaries, though the indexes and elaborately engraved border are printed. Illinois had little railroad presence at all until the early 1840s, at which point an explosion of development in the middle of the century transformed it into the railroad hub of the nation. Scarce - OCLC locates ten copies, Rare Book Hub records no other copy since 1966, and Byrd locates only the Graff copy. GRAFF 874. BYRD 2256. KARROW 4:1552. OCLC 5486689, 3527426, 908992369, 1153995508.

Description:
Osage Mission, Ks, [N.d., ca. 1870s].. Hand-drawn and hand-painted watercolor sign on a 14 x 18¾-inch sheet of cardstock. Pencil sketch for the same sign on the verso. Small chips at lower corners, some light soiling. Very good. A remarkable and very attractive handmade sign for D.B. Gregory's livery stable in Osage Mission, Kansas. Undated, the style of the sign suggests a date of the 1870s. The center of the sign shows a lovely illustration in profile of a horse pulling a single-rider, four-wheeled carriage along a dirt road. The text above the illustration reads, "D.B. Gregory & Co.," and below: "Livery & Sale Stables / Best Stock / Horse & Buggies / Main Bet. County & Neosho Strs. / Osage Mission Kan." The lettering is in black with blue and purple shadowing, and "Osage Mission Kan." is drawn in a very ornate style. The entire sign is decorated with purple watercolor ornamentation. On the verso is a pencil sketch of the horse and the lower half of the carriage, likely a preliminary sketch for…

Description:
Puebla: Oficina de D. Pedro de la Rosa, October 19, 1821.. Broadside, 17 x 12 inches. Text in two columns. Manuscript rubric of Carlos Garcia. Old folds, light general wear. Very good plus. Untrimmed. A scarce broadside from Agustín de Iturbide's brief period of power in Mexico. After leading the coalition of Mexican forces which took over Mexico City in 1821, winning independence from Spain, Iturbide became president of the regency government before being made Emperor (over his own protestations) the following year. Despite his success as a military leader, Iturbide's tenure as Emperor proved less providential. A significant faction which had hoped for a republican government after independence agitated against him, particularly within Mexico's Congress. Iturbide made more enemies by dismissing the uncooperative congress a few months into his reign. He also found it difficult to gain recognition for an independent Mexico abroad and was unable to effectively pay for his army, leading to his exile in…

Tanned, scattered staining, occasional edge chipping or marginal flaws mostly without loss of text. Lower right corner of p.55 torn away, with missing piece present and affixed with a pin, rear endpaper chewed and torn. Contemporary ownership inscriptions on titlepage, rear endpaper, and rear pastedown. A fair copy, but complete. First revised edition. Nathan Daboll's SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSISTANT, first appearing in 1800, was one of the first and most successful American arithmetics, quickly displacing its predecessors. Daboll, also known as the man behind the Connecticut and New England "Edmund Freebetter" almanacs, was a teacher of mathematics and astronomy as well as navigation. His mathematics textbook found success with extensive examples and the early introduction of money and currency calculations, and the 1800 edition was…

New London: Printed and sold by T. Green, 1774. [32]pp. including a woodcut portrait of Jonathan Shipley on the titlepage and a woodcut of a lunar eclipse on p.[32]. Later stitching. Original stab holes in inner margin. Titlepage and last page age-toned and soiled. Moderate age-toning and soiling internally. A good copy. A Revolutionary-era Connecticut almanac with a white-line woodcut portrait of Dr. Jonathan Shipley entitled "The Patriotic Bishop." Twelve pages in this almanac reprint Shipley's famous speech criticizing Britain's uncompromising colonial measures which was "intended to have been spoken on the bill for altering the charter of the province of the Massachusetts Bay." First delivered in 1774, the speech was printed in numerous editions both in London and the colonies in that same year. In addition to the speech, this almanac includes the calendar year (with each month accompanied by a short poem), predictions for the year's eclipses (illustrated with a lunar eclipse), distances from New…

Juneau, 1903. 4pp. Folio. Chipped and browned at edges. Two leaves separated at fold. Good. Daily Alaskan newspaper, containing news of William Sulzer's speech in support of the territory, an idyllic word-portrait of prospecting, and numerous advertisements. Sulzer, a Democratic Congressman from New York, argues that Alaska deserves to be a full-fledged territory, rather than just a district, owing to its beauty and vast natural resources. Sulzer would later serve as New York's governor and hold the record as the only governor of that state to be impeached; his brother, Charles, was an Alaskan politician. Alaska would not become a territory until 1912.

Description:
Vicksburg, Ms.: J.M. Swords, Proprietor, 1863.. Folio broadside, printed on wallpaper. Old folds, closed tear in blank margin of one fold, some spotting. Very good. The newspapers printed on wallpaper in Vicksburg during its siege were widely noted at the time, and the Union troops who took possession of the city on July 4 completed and distributed the last issue standing in type. Numerous facsimile versions were published later. This is the first reproduction issue, probably produced in the North as a commemoration later in 1863. Brigham identifies this as the first reproduction, noting its minor variations from the original, mainly the substitution of the article, "Recent Federal Losses at Vicksburg," in the last column. Brigham details some twenty facsimile versions. Brigham, "Wall-Paper Newspapers of the Civil War" in BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS FOR WILBERFORCE EAMES (New York, 1924), pp.203-9.

Description:
[San Francisco?]: Daily Herald, [1869].. Single sheet, 11¼ x 7¾ inches. Printed in two columns. Old folds, minor soiling. Very good. A rare and dramatic news broadside presenting ongoing updates for one of the worst mining disasters in Nevada history. On April 6th, 1869, a methane fire caused by an unattended lantern broke out in the 800 level of Virginia City's Yellow Jacket Mine, swiftly spreading to the nearby Kentuck and Crown Point Mines. The strength and heat of the flames precluded any hope of rescue, despite the efforts of firefighters and community members to recover the miners. Ultimately, over thirty-five miners perished in the fire, eleven of whose bodies were never recovered. While this broadside estimates that at least sixty would have been in the mines, the one faint silver lining of the accident is that it occurred during a shift change, and only half of the normal number of workers were present. The tone of the text in this extra issue is heart-wrenching: "Wives and children of…

Wilmington, N.C., 1862.. Broadside, 15¼ x 11 inches, printed in three columns. Moderate toning and foxing. Four- inch closed vertical tear at bottom edge (no loss of paper). Very good. A Confederate newspaper extra reporting the failure of the Union's initial Peninsular campaign around Independence Day in 1862. From March to around the time of this newspaper extra, General George McClellan launched an offensive campaign against northern Virginia which was intended to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. Facing a series of crafty Confederate generals including John B. Magruder, Joseph E. Johnston, J.E.B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee, McClellan's tactics proved fruitless in capturing Richmond, and he was eventually recalled by President Lincoln to prepare for the Second Battle of Bull Run the next month. This newspaper extra, issued by the Wilmington, North Carolina DAILY JOURNAL, reports the "Yankees in Full Retreat" after receiving news from "a couple of free negroes" that…

[Dalla, 1937. [4]pp., printed on a folded quarto sheet. Minor soiling, upper outer corner chipped. Still, very good. A program for a Depression-era theatrical performance of Eugene G. Hafer's 1924 courtroom drama, ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFENSE, by an African-American theatre company, performed at Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas. The performance took place on Friday, April 23, 1937 under the auspices of the Dallas Negro Little Theatre Company. The interior two pages include the setting, scene breakdown, and cast list. The last page lists the four officers of the theater company, plus the two members of the Publicity Committee. The Dallas Negro Little Theatre seems to have been part of the "Little Theater" movement in the first half of the 20th century. They were a subsidiary group of the larger Dallas Texas Little Theatre. OCLC records just four copies of this ephemeral program, at Yale, Baylor, Dallas Public Library, and the DeGolyer Library.

New York: James Rivingto, 1795. 88pp. 20th-century green half morocco and cloth, spine gilt. Very light staining to first few leaves. Very good. First American edition, after the first London of the previous year, of this account of the Reign of Terror as seen by a royalist. It includes a "Historical Chronicle from October 1793 to July 1794" and a "Proclamation of the Generals of the Army of the Royalists." Its publication was intended as another Federalist volley against Republicans in the escalating contest between the partisans of Hamilton and Jefferson. Interestingly, printed by James Rivington, the "Loyalist printer" who stayed in New York printing pro-British material throughout the British occupation 1776-1783. That he was happily printing away in New York at this point suggests that he may have indeed worked as a pro-American spy that whole time. Only a handful of copies in ESTC. EVANS 29020. ESTC W20098.
