1818WRCAM53050New York 1818. 68pp. 20th-century red buckram spine gilt. Minor toning and foxing institutional ink and blind stamps on titlepage. Very good. An interesting early 19th-century trial account involving the assault on an eminent New York newspaper editor by a prominent New York state official. The assailant Henry Hagerman allegedly "did make an assault.and there kick strike beat wound and ill treat.the said William Coleman." Hagerman was a Democratic Judge Advocate and was accused of misconduct by NEW YORK EVENING POST editor William Coleman. Coleman was the first editor of the EVENING POST which was founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801. "On the evening of April 11 Coleman was overtaken by Hagerman near sunset at the corner of Murray and Church Streets and attacked without warning from the rear. His assailant used the loaded butt of a rawhide whip. The editor was stunned by the first blow was repeatedly struck and kicked as he lay prostrate and when he staggered to his feet half blind with blood was given a still more savage beating. Public indignation against Hagerman rose so high that he was hurried to jail for safety and not being able to ask for a change of venue pleaded for postponement of the trial until it subsided. Two years to a day after the murderous attack Coleman was awarded $4000 in damages a huge sum for 1820. But it was none too large. The editor had been prostrated for weeks recurrent strokes of paralysis followed and he was never in sound health again" - Nevins. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 43126. SABIN 29514.

47532Each of the letters is franked "free" but we have been unable to discover an official position for the letter writer possibly former Massachusetts Congressman Ezekiel Bacon serving in Washington as First Comptroller of the U.S. Treasury. The first letter recounts a misunderstanding between White and Lt. Twiggs a fellow junior military officer leading to a duel in which White took a ball in the hip and endured its surgical removal; the following two letters report on his recovery visiting friends and public sentiment which seems to have favored him. To the third letter Francis White has himself appended a one-page signed autograph note reassuring Mooses. He recovered from this wound but was not so lucky in a second duel. Although neither Lorenzo Sabine Notes on Duels and Duelling Boston 1855 nor Ben Truman Field of Honor New York 1884 record this 1814 duel both cover White's 1819 confrontation with Lt. William Fonch whom he challenged for "indignities suffered on board the Independence in 1815" and at whose hand he died. Manuscript material relating to American duels is quite uncommon on the market. The three letters have been folded as for mailing; lightly browned some breaks at seals. <br/><br/> unknown books
