1898 - 1907 FASCINATING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOKS OF THE FRENCH CANADIAN BORN POLICE CHIEF OF CENTRAL FALLS RHODE ISLAND

18980008091CENTRAL FALLS RHODE ISLAND PAWTUCKET PROVIDENCE. Fair. 1898. On offer are 2 well-worn records of a French Canadian who became police chief of a city in Rhode Island USA. Daily events are noted in the undated pages often with just a simple line entry. Many other records are kept such as lists of family members dates of death arrests and convictions etc. The first book measures 6 1/2 inches by 4 inches. The page cover is worn. Some pages are loose and some pages have been torn out. With 199 pages it is approximately 90% complete. The second book is 7 1/2 inches by 5 inches and has 40 pages. This too is about 90% complete. Entries in both appear to be in two different handwriting styles. Napoleon Lambert was born in Marieville Quebec in 1862. He moved with his family to Taunton MA when he was 10. He moved back to Canada in 1875 but returned to live in Central Falls RI in 1883. He worked as a carpenter until 1895 when he was appointed to the newly established Central Falls Police Department on April 15th 1895. Four and a half years later he was appointed Chief of Police. He served as Chief until August 1907. He died in Dec 1919 at the age of 57. His entries in the first book are a combination of events that occurred some biographical data and gossip: "Lucien Lafrance left his wife to go out west" Oct 17 1900; "I had the picture of my four children taken at Prince's Studio on Broad St./also has the boy taken alone" May 16 1902 "Julia McHenry alias Flemming sent a tall woman to offer me $100 get her off the ". Not accepted. Time 1:30 PM Oct 22 1903. The second part of the volume is a long poem/prose piece that may or may not have been written by him. It is in English and French which reflects his bilingual background but the 'hand' is quite different. The second volume is an address book that has been used as a journal. A third of it 46 pages is an alphabetical listing of individuals and their offences many repeated: "Joe Burns: o sentenced by Judge Wilber to serve 18 months in Prov County Jail for the larceny of one lot brass worth $100.00 from the Electroletic Copper Co". Aug 12 1904 o "Larceny 30 days Oct 31 1906 Richard O'Neil; o arrested for drunkenness released" Nov 12 1896 o "Committed to the State Farm for 6 months Charge: Vagrant" Nov 27 1897 "Committed to Jail for 90 days on a charge of larceny of a dog" Dec 8 1898; "Terry Nika o arrested on a charge of assault with a stone upon Stanislaw Prasccrinski on Jan 18-05 Waived examination and was bound over to State Farm. Mar 05 Placed on probation and paid the costs" Jan 26 1905 "o Fined $2 & costs for an assault upon George Belisle on April 15-05 Paid" April 19 1905. The remaining section has had a number of pages torn out. On the 25 or so pages again is a prose piece mostly in French and again in another 'hand'. The volume contains a fair amount of genealogical information about his extended family. For a social historian especially on focusing on life in the Providence-Pawtucket part of Rhode Island this is an excellent reference to crime and punishment at the turn of the last century. Lambert joined the police force right at its inception rose to be Chief and served for a total of 12 years. His journal offers a unique look into an aspect of community life that is often not very visible.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES PROVIDENCE COUNTY NAPOLEON LAMBERT CENTRAL FALLS RI PROVIDENCE RI RHODE ISLAND LATE 19TH CENTURY 1890s PROGRESSIVE ERA POLICEMEN POLICING IN THE LATE 1800'S COMMON CRIMES IN A SMALL COMMUNITY URBAN HISTORY CENTRAL FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT CANADIAN AMERICANS FRENCH CANADIANS IN THE U.S. CENTRAL FALLS CHIEF OF POLICE URBAN POLICE CRIME IN 19TH CENTURY NEW ENGLAND CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN RHODE ISLAND LAW ENFORCEMENT IN LATE 19TH CENTURY 19TH CENTURY CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN NEW ENGLAND RHODE ISLAND GENEALOGY AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

A Great Treasure: The United States Receives French Cession of the Louisiana Purchase and Instructions from Napoleon to Deliver to President Jefferson

18033595823/05/1803. <blockquote>James Monroe and Robert Livingston receive the Treaty signed by Napoleon notification of French ratification and instructions from the French: Deliver this ""to the President of the United States without delay to do what must be done"" and secure American ratification This doubled the size of the United States and is one of the most significant moments in American history; In 2019 this document was saved from a fire at the Karpeles Manuscript Library and survived</blockquote><blockquote>This document central to the Louisiana Purchase is among the most important we have ever carried </blockquote>https://vimeo.com/1180578110share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci <blockquote>Hear more on <a href=""https://www.raabcollection.com/tags/podcast"">Inspired by History</a>: <iframe style=""width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px;"" src=""https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-historic-manuscript-central-to-the-louisiana-purchase/id1796821278i=1000761089641"" height=""175"" frameborder=""0"" sandbox=""allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation""></iframe></blockquote>The Louisiana Purchase stands as one of the most transformative acts in American history instantly doubling the size of the young republic and securing U.S. control of the Mississippi River and the vital port of New Orleans. Negotiated at a moment of shifting global powerâ€”amid Napoleonâ€™s imperial ambitions the threat of imminent renewed war with Great Britain and the collapse of French plans in the Caribbeanâ€”the agreement reshaped the geopolitical balance of North America and set the United States on a path toward continental expansion and emergence as a major world power.As the United States had spread across the Appalachians the Mississippi River became an increasingly important conduit for the produce of Americaâ€™s West which at that time referred to the land between the Appalachians and the Mississippi. Since 1762 Spain had owned the territory of Louisiana which included 828000 square miles. The territory made up all or part of fifteen modern U.S. states between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. The Pinckney Treaty of 1795 had resolved friction between Spain and the United States over the right to navigate the Mississippi and the right for Americans to transfer their goods to ocean-going vessels at New Orleans. With the Pinckney treaty in place and the weak Spanish empire in control of Louisiana American statesmen felt comfortable that the United Statesâ€™ westward expansion would not be restricted in the future.This situation was threatened by Napoleon Bonaparteâ€™s plans to revive the French empire in the New World. He planned to recapture the valuable sugar colony of Haiti from a slave rebellion and then use Louisiana as the granary for his empire. France acquired Louisiana from Spain in 1800 and took possession in 1802 sending a large French army to St. Domingue and preparing to send another to New Orleans. Americans became very apprehensive about having the more-powerful French in control of the Mississippi and New Orleans. President Thomas Jefferson noted â€œThere is on the globe one single spot the possessor of which is our natural and habitual enemy. It is New Orleans.â€ He determined to do something to change this situation.In addition to making military preparations for a conflict in the Mississippi Valley in April 1803 Jefferson sent former Minister to France James Monroe to join present Minister to France Robert Livingston to try to purchase New Orleans and West Florida for as much as $10 million. Failing that they were to attempt to create a military alliance with England. Meanwhile the French Army in St. Domingue was being decimated by yellow fever and war between France and England was on the horizon. Napoleon decided to give up his plans for Louisiana and offered a surprised Monroe and Livingston the entire territory of Louisiana - all 828000 square miles of it - for $15 million. That was three cents per acre. Although buying all of Louisiana far exceeded their instructions from President Jefferson Monroe and Livingston saw the golden opportunity and agreed. The treaty was signed on April 30 1803.The treaty itself actually consisted of three linked agreements: the Treaty of Cession by which France transferred the Louisiana territory to the United States and guaranteed rights of property religion and eventual citizenship to its inhabitants; a first convention establishing that the United States would pay 60 million francs about $11.25 million to France through government bonds as the purchase price; and a second convention by which the United States assumed 20 million francs about $3.75 million in claims owed to American citizens for prior French seizures and commercial losses. Together these three instruments formed the full legal structure of the purchase bringing the total cost to 80 million francs or roughly $15 million.The French ratification of the Louisiana treaty and conventions was dated May 22nd and signed by Bonaparte Foreign Minister Talleyrand Minister of the Treasury BarbÃ© de Marbois and Hugues Bernard Maret who as the secretary of state was responsible for promulgating laws and decrees. It was delivered to the representatives of the United States Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe who here sign to acknowledge receipt of the treaty to be sent to President Thomas Jefferson ""without delay.""Historic manuscript DS signed ""Jas. Monroe"" ""Rob. R. Livingston"" and ""BarbÃ© Marbois"" in French Paris May 23 1803 being the monumental document recording France's sale to the US of Louisiana just approved by Napoleon Bonaparte and the French government.""Today May 23 1803 we BarbÃ©-Marbois Minister of the Public Treasury named by the French People as Minister Plenipotentiary and Robert R. Livingston Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America and James Monroe Minister Plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinaire of the said States at a meeting in one of the rooms of the Hotel du Public Treasury in Paris Citizen BarbÃ©-Marbois transmitted to us Robert Livingston and James Monroe: 1. The treaty concluded and signed by us on 10 Floreal an 11 30 April 1803 and the two conventions concluded and signed by us on the same date. Said treaty and conventions in three separate instruments written on vellum parchment and bearing the grand seal of the French Republic imprinted in red wax ratified by the First Consul Napoleon of the French Republic signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ch. Mau. Talleyrand and countersigned by the Secretary of State Hugues B. Maret; therefore the said treaty and conventions are to be sent by us to the President of the United States without delay and for him to take the necessary steps. For which we have signed the present document in two copies one for the French ambassador and one for the American ambassadors."" With loss to one letter of Monroe's signature.It is interesting to note that BarbÃ© Marbois who played a key role in negotiating the Louisiana Purchase Treaty and delivered the signed ratification was former ambassador to the United States and had lived in the U.S. for years spoke English and married an American. He was well connected in the U.S. and was elected a Foreign Honorary Member to both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences John Hancock and John Adams were also members and the American Philosophical Society Thomas Jefferson was also a member and the two dealt extensively. He was a logical choice to negotiate the treaty.There was some delay in getting the ratified treaty to the United States and Jefferson did not see the treaty until early July 1803. When news of the sale reached the United States people were incredulous and mostly elated. President Jefferson however was in a quandary. He had always advocated strict adherence to the letter of the Constitution yet there was no provision empowering him to purchase territory. Given the public support for the purchase and the obvious value of Louisiana to the future growth of the United States however Jefferson decided to ignore the legalistic interpretation of the Constitution and forgo the passage of a Constitutional amendment to validate the purchase. This decision contributed to the principle of implied powers of the federal government.Because the treaty stipulated that the American ratification must be concluded by October 30 Jefferson hurriedly convened a special session of Congress on October 17. The United States Senate consented to ratification of the treaty with a vote of 24 to 7 on October 20. On the following day October 21 1803 the Senate authorized Jefferson to exchange the ratification document with France take possession of the territory and establish a temporary government.In very good condition with repaired loss to the right edge truncating the final letter of Monroe's signature.This document central to one of the most significant moments in American history is one of the most important we have ever carried. It is from the famed collection of The Karpeles Manuscript Library from which it was rescued during a fire in 2019.<img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> hardcover

An Original Order from Napoleon Readying His 8th Corps for the Invasion of Spain and Portugal

18092158723/09/1809. <blockquote>A rare full signed order by Bonaparte</blockquote>In 1809 a formation known as the Reserve Corps of the Army of Germany was assembled. This later became a new VIII Corps that served in Spain in 1810. The Reserve Corps was under the command of Marshal François Christophe de Kellermann. Its three divisions were led by Generals Olivier Rivaud de la Raffinière Eloi Laurent Despeaux and Joseph Lagrange.The siege of Astorga was an attempt by French forces to capture that town as part of a campaign of the Peninsular War. Astorga was located on the flank of the French invasion path to Spain and Portugal and was meant to be used as a headquarters during the campaign. The French overpowered the Spanish garrison inside and took the city on April 20 1810 with a loss of 160 men. It took however the arrival of ammunition and weapons for the attack to begin.The 8th corps was ordered to march to Spain and its first units reached Burgos.Order signed Schonbrunn September 23 1809.""His Majesty Orders:1 The 22nd regiment of line infantry and the 65th of the line which are part of the 8th corps of the army will each have their 8 stores of ammunition for infantry and 8 for their military transports. The quartermaster general will take the necessary measures to ensure that those regiments that do not have proper munitions and have not exhausted the funds allowed to each regiment for this object that he will contact them without delay and procure the munitions necessary. The quartermaster general of the artillery will take responsibility for those measures that relate to the artillery.2 The 8 4th battalions that form the Rivaud division will each have their own infantry and military transport munitions supplies. The necessary funds for the creation of these will be placed at the disposition of the authorized officer of the 8th corps to be made at Nuremberg Bareuth or Wurtsbourg. The horses will be furnished by the administration as we order below.3 The artillery of the 8th corps will be composed of 4 pieces of 12; 16 pieces of 6; 6 pieces of 3 and 6 howitzers having a double approvisionnement harness. The Saxon artillery of General St. Cyr's division will have its cannon piece including 4 of 12 which forms for the 8th Corps 60 pieces of cannon independently of the regimental pieces.4 The engineers will have after the 8th corps at least 1500 tools which will be carried on harnessed carriages as well as the ropes and tools necessary for the prompt repair of a bridge.5 Three hundred horses shall be raised in the land of Bareuth a hundred in the land of Erfurth and a hundred in the land of Hanau in all five hundred which will be distributed in the 8th corps as follows namely: for the artillery 300 for the transports of the 8 battalions of the Rivaud 50 division for the transports of the engineers 50 for the three provisional regiments of dragoons 100. The price of these horses will be set from the inhabitants according to the tariff which will be regulated by the general steward.6 An advance of two thousand francs will be made to each of the squadrons which form part of the six provisional regiments of dragoons. These 2000 francs will be taken from the regiment's casks by the Minister of War Administration. The distribution between the different mannes will be made by General Fouler for the 1st 5th and 4th. One and the other of these generals will assure the Minister of War Administration of the distribution they have made between the mannes. The squadron leaders and captains commanding the squadrons of the six provisional regiments will immediately use this fund to prepare their squadron.""Complete orders of Napoleon are very uncommon. unknown

At the Height of His Empire Napoleon Assigns Officers to the Army and Government of Italy

18103642009/05/1810. <blockquote>""I approve the slate of officers you propose to use for the Army of Italy. I think you should add General Bissonin. Regarding General Menou the Vice Roy must first present to me an officer for Governor of Venice. Send General Pacthod to the Army of Naples where he can serve.""</blockquote>In May 1810 Napoleon was at the high-water mark of his empire strengthening and intensifying his Continental System against Britain. Napoleon focused then on restricting British commerce and enhancing his alliance with Austria. His mind was also much on the Netherlands. On May 13 1810 it was announced that the Netherlands were formally annexed to France further consolidating Napoleon’s control over Europe. Bergen op Zoom a fortified city in the Netherlands was a key stronghold for French forces during Napoleon’s empire.By 1810 Napoleon controlled most of the Italian peninsula acting as King of Italy crowned 1805 with his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais as viceroy. The region was restructured into the Kingdom of Italy in the north and the Kingdom of Naples in the south introducing modern law abolishing feudal rights and improving infrastructure while by 1810 the Italian army achieved parity with French units.The War of the Fifth Coalition was Austria’s final attempt to challenge Napoleon Bonaparte after earlier defeats but it ended decisively with French victories at Battle of Wagram and the Treaty of Schönbrunn which stripped Austria of further territory and influence in northern Italy and the Adriatic. In the aftermath Napoleon moved to tighten and rationalize his control over the region reinforcing the authority of his Italian client state under Eugène de Beauharnais and integrating Venice more fully into a centralized military-administrative system. Though already under French rule Venice’s strategic importance—as a fortified lagoon city naval arsenal and forward position facing Austria—meant that after 1809 it became a focus of consolidation rather than conquest with garrisons reviewed command structures regularized and trusted officers installed to ensure the city’s security and readiness in anticipation of future conflict.Napoleon was at Bergen op Zoom in May 1810. The Duc de Feltre was an officer diplomat and statesman who served as Minister of War under Napoleon.Letter signed Bergen-op-Zoom May 9 1810 to the Duc de Feltre assigning officers to the army and government of Italy. ""I approve the slate of officers you propose to use for the Army of Italy. I think you should add General Bisson. Regarding General Menou the Vice Roy must first present to me an officer for Governor of Venice. Send General Pacthod to the Army of Naples where he can serve.""In 1810 General Baptiste-Pierre-François Bisson was given a command at Verona where he remained until his death in 1811. General Jacques-François de Menou served as the administrator and Governor of Venice in the Kingdom of Italy. After a notable career including commanding the Egyptian campaign he died on August 13 1810. In 1810 General Michel-Marie Pacthod was rewarded as a Knight of the Iron Crown and then given a division in the Army of Naples.Here we see Napoleon exercising control over his occupied territories.<img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt=""historical memorabilia dealer"" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown
