1876244152Jacksonville Florida 1876. 4 pp. pen and ink on a single folded sheet. 1 vols. 12mo. Old folds. Fine. 4 pp. pen and ink on a single folded sheet. 1 vols. 12mo. The First Florida Retiree. "Spinner a strong nationalist was an important adviser to Chase on matters such as the circulation of greenbacks which bore Spinner's distinctive hard-to-duplicate signature and the creation of a national banking system. . Needing large numbers of reliable employees not subject to military service he was the first governmental administrator to turn to women. He vigorously defended their employment against critics hired over one hundred paid them well by the standards of the time and insisted on their continued employment after the war. . When a new secretary of the treasury in 1875 assumed control over the appointment of clerks however Spinner feared that dishonest people might be hired and he would be held responsible. He resigned and moved to Jacksonville Florida where he enjoyed a vigorous outdoor life until his death in that city." ANB<br/>Francis E. Spinner 1802-1890 served as Treasurer of the United States under Presidents Lincoln Johnson and Grant. In the angling world he is notable as the recipient of letters from Oliver Gibbs published as Lake Pepin Fish-Chowder 1869. In retirement in Florida he writes to George Dawson editor of the Albany Evening Journal and a noted American angling author whose Pleasures of Angling with Rod and Reel 1876 is the first American book devoted to fly fishing. Spinner writes "I am so glad to learn that you have been persuaded to publish your fish letters in book form . when yours comes out it will be read with pleasure." He then goes on to describe fishing for trout on McGirt's Creek a tributary of the St. Johns River and catching a cat fish of 18-1/2 pounds "on one of Chapman's 'No. 4 Minnow bait' . I mention this because I cannot learn from anyone that a cat fish was ever known before to strike at artificial bait." Spinner concludes lyrically "The orange and other of the citrus family are in bloom now . Whoever at the North that can afford to and who has nothing else to do and that does not spend his winters in this Elysium is to be pitied. Do come." <br/>An excellent letter with outstanding content. unknown books

The Deluxe Edition One of 36 Copies. The Deluxe Edition of this classic book originally published in 1977 and subsequently revised and updated. Edmund Everett Garrison 1893-1975 was one of the great fly-rod makers probably the greatest. His rods are collector's items and $15000 is not an unusual price to pay for one. Garrison trained as an engineer worked full time for most of his adult life in a structural engineering firm and only produced his meticulously hand-crafted rods evenings and weekends; his output was thus comparatively small but each rod that left his hand was a masterpiece. He brought to an old art a unique technological competence which made for outstanding performance but it remained an art. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Nearly twenty thousand copies of this book have been sold in previous trade editions; this is one of only 36 Deluxe copies the edition quickly sold out and contains two glossy photographs one of Garrison and family members in which he holds one of his rods the other of Carmichael working on a rod of his own and an ALS of Garrison.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A SPLENDID AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE VOLUME.
