The cover is blindstamped with decorations and text. The spine once had gilt but only a faint amount remains.

There are a couple of tree leaves left between pages creating tan shadows on these pages see the one picture. The pages are all intact and the binding remains strong and secure.</p><p>This report investigated a massive fraud within the Board of Commissioners created by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe. Historically referred to as the "Gardiner Claim" it involved two Gardiner brothers who concocted a false claim that Mexico had destroyed their profitable silver mines in Mexico which they never owned during the war in order to secure a payout. Mexico fell for the scheme and awarded the Gardners a lot of money. The mines were discovered to be a myth and so the investigations began in 1851 ultimately ending in convictions in 1854. An interesting and scarce artifact of American history!</p> Beverly Tucker, Printer to the Senate hardcover
