188610613Salt Lake City: Deseret News Company 1886. First Edition. 19pp. Octavo 21 cm About very good. Lacks wrappers. An open letter by the First Presidency that was sent out to be read at a General Conferences in Provo instead of in person at the Tabernacle due to the Polygamy raids than be conducted by federal marshals throughout the Territory to locate and arrest known bigamists. In this short work Taylor writes of the challenges the Church was facing due to anti-polygamy legislation and the importance of continuing the practice of plural marriage. <br /> <br /> "The cry of polygamy has made a good battle cry: this has called the fanatical element into line; but underneath and above this question of polygamy and completely enveloping it has been the design to destroy our rights as citizens to take away from us our liberties under the Constitution and the laws and to obtain the political control of our country so that being as voiceless in the affairs of government as the Indians or Chinese we could be taxed and plundered with impunity and be lorded over by a set of political harpies who would revel and fatten at our expense." <br /> <br /> John Taylor 1808 - 1887 was third president of the LDS Church from 1880 to 1887. He is the first and so far only president of the LDS Church to have been born outside the United States. He was with Joseph Smith when he was murdered at the Carthage Jail and led the Church during the Polygamy raid period. Flake/Draper 1662. [Deseret News Company unknown

18561254671856. First Edition. SLAVERY WILLIAMSON Passmore. Case of Passmore Williamson. Report of the Proceedings on the Writ of Habeas Corpus Issued by the Hon. John K. Kane Judge of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania In the Case of the United States of America Ex. Rel. John H. Wheeler vs. Passmore Williamson Including the Several Opinions Delivered; And The Arguments of Counsel Reported by Arthur Cannon Esq. Phonographer. Philadelphia: Uriah Hunt & Son 1856. Octavo modern half calf-gilt marbled boards; pp. 191. $2200.First edition of ""the most complete record available"" of the controversial Pennsylvania case on fugitive slaves a core work establishing a precedent ""in federal and state courts and important cause célèbre for the antislavery movement"" crucial in asserting a clear path for the following year's Dred Scott decision and provoking a ""legal crisis that led to the Civil War.""""During the fugitive slave controversy the abolitionist underground kicked into high gear."" This momentous shift was propelled by Federal District Judge John K. Kane in the Passmore Williamson case involving the rights of fugitive slave Jane Johnson. ""In July 1855 Col. John H. Wheeler the U.S. minister plenipotentiary designate to Nicaragua traveled to Philadelphia with his slave Jane and her two sons."" When she ""managed to get word out of her desire for freedom"" Black abolitionist William Still famed for his 1872 work Underground Railroad heard of her plight and alerted white abolitionist Passmore Williamson. They arranged to meet at the Philadelphia wharf and Williamson who arrived first immediately told Jane ""she was entitled to her freedom and released her from Wheeler's grasp."" As she fled with her two sons ""a heated exchange and scuffle occurred between Still Williamson and Wheeler who was held down by two of the five Black dockworkers present"" Sinha Slave's Cause 527-28.This triggered a series of major court cases when Williamson was presented with a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Kane and indictments were issued charging Williamson and the Black dockworkers for riot assault and robbery for the theft of slave property in transit. Although Williamson stated Jane and her sons were never in his custody Kane charged him with contempt and sentenced him to jail. As Frederick Douglass joined with others in attacking Kane's ""tyrannical position"" and Williamson petitioned for the contempt charge to be dropped Jane who adopted the surname of Johnson played yet another key role. In an affidavit sworn in Massachusetts she affirmed that she had never been in Williamson's custody stating: ""Nobody forced me away I always wished to be free and meant to be free when I came North"" Sinha 529. Although Jane was likely considered free under Pennsylvania law the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ""refused to interfere with Williamson's incarceration"" after Judge Kane rejected Jane's affidavit Finkelman Slavery in the Courtroom 40-41. In effect Kane's defense of slave-owner rights ""created a new constitutional right'transit for property and person'based on a Constitution written to 'establish a more perfect union.'"" Williamson was imprisoned for nearly six months and became a martyr for the abolitionist cause but ""more important was the precedent set in the federal and state courts by this case."" Judge Kane's insistence ""that Wheeler had a right to bring his slaves into Pennsylvania and capture them there if they escaped despite state law explicitly prohibiting it"" opened the way for the ""high-water mark of this position in the Dred Scott case 1857 a year after Kane's opinion"" Finkelman Imperfect Union 260-64; emphasis added. The case of Passmore Williamson and Jane Johnson was ""an important cause célèbre for the antislavery movement an example ofand contributor tothe legal crisis and the crisis in federalism that led to the Civil War"" Finkelman Slavery 41. First edition: recorded by court reporter Arthur Cannon: ""contains the most complete record available of the proceedings before Judge Kane in the federal district court and the proceedings in this case before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court of particular interest is the dissent of Justice John C. Knox"" which is not present in the Pennsylvania Reports. ""In addition to the two published opinions of Judge Kane it also includes Kane's opinions and remarks from various hearings not published in Federal Cases"" Finkelman Slavery 41-2. Blockson 2557.

1865126391865. Photographer unknown Rodman cannon tintype photograph circa 1860s documents one of the most important classes of heavy artillery used by the United States during the Civil War and in nineteenth-century coastal defense. The image supports research into Union ordnance technology military engineering and the visual culture of large-scale artillery deployment. Rodman guns developed under the direction of ordnance officer Thomas J. Rodman marked a major expansion in American heavy weapons design and photographs of these guns preserve direct evidence of how such artillery was presented maintained and understood in relation to the men who worked around it.<br /> Half plate tintype photograph image approximately 4.5 x 7 inches showing three men posed on and beside a large Rodman cannon mounted on a wheeled rail-supported carriage. The gun's immense barrel dominates the composition with its pronounced rounded breech and upper vent area clearly visible. The carriage rests on a circular rail track designed to allow the piece to be traversed for aiming a system associated with fortified coastal positions and heavy defensive artillery. One man stands beside the carriage while two others are seated or leaning along its structure their bodies providing a clear sense of the cannon's scale. Their caps and work clothing suggest artillery personnel or laborers engaged with the weapon and its mounting rather than a purely studio portrait setting.<br /> Rodman guns were introduced in the 1850s and became central to American heavy ordnance during the Civil War especially in siege and harbor defense contexts where large-caliber smoothbore cannon were required to fire explosive shells against ships and fixed fortifications. This photograph is valuable not only for the weapon itself but for the relationship it establishes between industrial-scale artillery and the human figures tasked with operating it. The image records mid-nineteenth-century military technology in a direct and legible form with the rail carriage and posed attendants making the engineering purpose immediately visible. Minor surface wear and edge rounding consistent with nineteenth-century tintypes; overall good condition. A strong documentary image of Civil War era heavy artillery and the material scale of Union ordnance production. unknown
