184874990New York: Munn & Co. 1848-49. The entire fourth volume Nos. 1-52. Folio 11 x 15 inches. 419 pp with an index at the rear. Illustrated throughout. Each number is 8 pp. Full contemporary sheepskin with green morocco gilt lettering label. Leather a bit dry some scattered foxing and toning as to be expected. Overall a very good copy.Chiefly of interest for the many references to the Gold Rush in California. The first printed announcement of the famous discovery at Sutter's Mill was published in March of 1848 in Sam Brannan's San Francisco newspaper The Californian. The news was first announced in an East Coast newspaper the New York Herald on August 19th 1848. Issue No. 1 of Vol. 4 is dated September 23 1848 and we find an article about the Gold Rush on the second page. The header is Gold Gold and it gives an early report of about six months after the event “of the discovery of an immense bed of gold one hundred miles in extent on the American Fork and Feather riversâ€."The Golden Land" found in No. 13 states - "A short time ago the most flattering accounts were received in this city from California about the mountains of gold and the valleys flowing with silver. Some believed it was a joke while others believed it to be a ‘hue and cry’ for some speculative purpose and to the latter implication we must plead guilty. We believed that the accounts received here a short time ago about vessels being deserted by their crews and houses by their inhabitants who had proceeded to the El Dorado valley were all a hoax or something worse. But it seems after all that Madam Rumor sometimes tells true tales. The golden hills of California it seems are not imaginary elevations but bona fide treasure houses.â€In "Gold and Gold Washings" in No. 15 we read that the Gold Rush extends to both side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and as far south as the headwaters of the San Joaquin River; an area 100 miles wide and 400 miles long. There are numerous other articles about the gold rush gold mining equipment and many other aspects of the 49er Gold Rush. Munn & Co. hardcover

1862899701862. Near Fine. Interesting content in this Maine Infantry Civil War Letter of almost 4 full pages written in a clear hand from Beaufort South Carolina and dated Aug. 22 1862. 25 cm. Envelope not present. The writer probably a Lieutenant references colored negro troops from Connecticut and gives a long opinion on how the north should win the war with the resources at its disposal. He also mentions troop misconduct at a "Negro Meeting: "Last night one of my sergeants attended a "Negro Meeting: in company with a few men belonging to the 6th Connecticut Vols. and as they had been drinking whiskey rather freely they thought to show their smartness by breaking in doors and windows of the meeting house and by kicking up a row generally. The sergeant was arrested and will probably be tried by a Court Martial. If he is found guilty I hope he will be punished to the full extent of the law. The sergeant George J. Card is quite young and smart and I have tried to make a man of him but it is of no use -- it can't be done. unknown
