"In 1799 Cleveland visited the northwest coast including Alaska and in 1803 California . he was at the Old Sitka site of the first Russian establishment the day following Baranov's making a deal with Katleut a Sitkan chief which enabled him to start building an outpost of the Russian-American Company on that spot" Lada-Mocarski.<br /> <br /> "An important source much used by Bancroft who characterizes it as: 'A most interesting and well written book.' Cleveland was an adventurer and Fur Trader of the old school. His voyages include the narrative of his four years' expedition to the Northwest Coast in the Brig Carolina 1799--1802 and the voyage of the Lelio Byrd to California in 1803--4. The former is especially valuable for its intimate account of the Indians and their country at this early period and the latter as one of but two known accounts of the Battle of San Diego in which engagement Cleveland was all but blown out of the water and his ship badly damaged by the Spanish cannon" Eberstadt.

187482902Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1874. First edition. Engraved bookplate; "Compliments of the Acting Chief of Ordnance U.S. Army" to the front pastedown. Two 2-page autograph letters signed on Gatling Gun Company stationery from Richard J. Gatling to Edgar T. Welles son of Gideon Welles Civil War Secretary of the Navy and secretary and treasurer of the Gatling Gun Co. In the first dated 4 August 1885 Gatling asks Welles to join him at the Larkin House Watch Hill Rhode Island where he is staying at his wife's insistence for his health; "I have a good many things to talk over with you - more than I can write - and I want you to also to meet Col. Prince Col. Frederick W. Prince Civil War artillery veteran who joined Gatling in 1885. He will I think be a good man to work up state orders." The second dated 21 October 1886 carries a note of urgency perhaps even desperation; "The hands at the Armory who make Gatling Guns are about out of work and unless we can get some orders for guns soon they will have to be discharged. If this is done it will be bad for us for in the event we should get large orders hereafter it would be difficult to get green hands to make guns so as to pass inspection." Gatling despatches Welles to go Washington "the earliest day possible & see Genl. Benét Stephen Vincent Benét Chief of Army Ordnance and don't take 'no' from him but insist on his giving us an order for the 23 guns ordered by the States & which Col. Prince procured the orders for at our expense." and while there he should "see Commodore Sicard Montgomery Sicard Chief of Naval Ordnance; and Comander Folger William M. Folger Inspector of Naval Ordnance Annapolis who is now in Washington. The new war ships & monitors will ere long need Gatlings & it would save time if the Navy Dept. would order them now." Both letters a little browned and with creases from postal folding but very good and with excellent content. Additionally inserted is a superbly-preserved contemporary price-list for Gatling Guns and ammunition for New York dealers Hartley & Graham featuring a large engraving of a Gatling "with positive or Accles' Feed." Altogether a splendid assemblage. Quarto. 2 photogravure plates of the gun 19 lithographed target plates and 3 schematics tables to the text. Original pinkish cloth title and Ordnance Department crest gilt to the front board. Boards sunned and rubbed spine damaged head and tail hinges a little cracked light browning to the text about very good. Riling 957 hardcover
