Boards lightly soiled a few pages faintly foxed. 1859 Hard Cover. x 454 pp. 8vo. This edition adds an appendix by Rev. E.P. Rogers a poem entitled Loguen's Position also by Rogers and two letters between J.W. and Sarah Logue the wife of his former master written in 1860: upon hearing of his book's publication Sarah demands financial compensation in exchange for "giving up all claim I have on you." His reply is quite a dignified one rebuking her for her outrageous demand and describing his new life "among a free people who I thank God sympathize with my rights and the rights of mankind." Loguen was an abolitionist and bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. He escaped slavery pursued higher education and opened several schools in central New York State. His Syracuse home was a stop on the Underground Railroad and the assistance he gave to other fugitive slaves is well-documented including a letter published in one of Frederick Douglass's papers.

189064215Fairhaven WA: Webster & Pierce the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast ca. 1890. One oblong 4to. original albumen photograph sized 9.25 x 7.5 in. mounted on 11 x 9.5 beige studio board date in ink below image on recto photographer’s imprint on verso 2 different ink manuscript notes offsetting from removed black paper backing very minor tidemark at fore-edges still a VG sharp image with excellent contrast. An exceedingly scarce original albumen photographic birdseye photo of Fairhaven WA just a year after statehood. During the 1870s up through the mid-1880s Fairhaven actively competed with Seattle Bellingham and Sehome as the potential terminal of the Great Northern Railroad even after it was decided Seattle would take precedence. Fairhaven exploded within just a couple years from the competitive real estate railroad building boom in the Pacific Northwest prior to the 1893 bust which caused tremendous economic dislocation and real estate empires to dissolve. This image captures the fast developing hillsides soon after they were stripped of timber and scraggly treeline topping the ridge in the background. The smoke blowing across downtown appears to have drifted from the far right of the photograph obscuring the Fairhave Hotel designed by Longstaff & Black and completed by 1890 for Nelson Bennett and C.X. Larrabee. In 1903 the cities of Whatcom Sehome & Whatcom Fairhaven and Bellingham which shared a street grid and electric streetcar system merged through a general election to become the present day city. Webster & Pierce established their photographic partnership about 1889 and by 1892 had dissolved with very few records detailing their subsequent careers except for Wesley Pierce becoming owner and operator of Waldrip Oyster Co. in Seattle by 1899. No similar examples in institutional holdings. Webster & Pierce, the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast, unknown
