1862WRCAM26652Washington 1862. 20pp. Original printed wrappers detached. Old library stamp on front wrapper. Good. The case of Peirce & Bacon Boston merchants revolves around drafts drawn on the Department of War for money due the freighters Russell Majors and Wadell the major firm freighting government supplies to New Mexico and Utah in the 1850's. Peirce & Bacon purchased a total of $260000 worth of these drafts what they believed to be "first class paper" backed by the "pledged faith and well known laws of the Government." The bankruptcy of the shipping firm threw the value of the paper into doubt. After submitting the drafts for payment and receiving no payments after eighteen months Peirce & Bacon appealed to Congress. This pamphlet sets forth their side of the case. unknown books
186224177Washington 1862. 20pp. Original printed wrappers a few very small chips spine split and wraps detaching stitched. Good or so. <br/><br/> The firm Russell Majors and Waddell contracted with the War Department in 1860 "for the transportation of military stores and supplies to the army then occupying Utah and New Mexico." War Secretary John Floyd soon to desert to the Confederacy accepted drafts drawn by the firm "thus solemnly acknowledging the indebtedness of the United States to the drawers for the amounts so accepted."
