1857WRCLIT18302New York & London: Samuel French & Son 1857. 36pp. Printed orange wrappers. Near fine. First edition of this playlet based on Delano's own experiences in the diggings in 1850. Ascribing priority of printings to French plays is usually tentative at best; however this copy bears an advertisement for the play version of TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR ROOM as a new publication so it seems certain that this is at least a very early printing if not the first.

Overall a very interesting piece of gold rush history. We could not find any other California mine surveys at auction in the past 50 years. "Survey for H.H. Watson and A.J. Polhill. A Tract of land laying near ville bounded as described in the annex plot commencing point as the S.W. corner of J.H. Hancock survey." "Survey made by N.O. Hinman County Surveyor." "In the present survey the tracts of land being issued to Watson and Polhill are bounded on the right by the Volcano Mining Company Ditch and Volcano Canion sic with the Todds sic Valley Company Ditch running through each plot. The Volcano Gold Gravel Mining Company was one of the most extensive gravel mines during the Gold Rush and hundreds of acres of valuable mining lands were drained by its enterprises. Placer County falls in both the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada regions in what is known as the Gold Country. The discovery of gold in this region in 1848 brought tens of thousands of miners from around the world and thousands more settled in the area to provide goods and services to them. The name "Placer" is taken from the Spanish word for gravel or sand deposits containing gold." From Sotheby's. HBS 68368. $4500 1852 unknown books

Octavo blue cloth hardcover gilt letters 258 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with light edgewear and sunned spine. From dust jacket: With the conclusion of the Treaty of Paris in 1763 Great Britain emerged from the Seven Years’ War as proprietor of the world’s most extensive colonial empire. England had expropriated the French claim on the North American continent and had forced Spain to barter her holdings in Florida for the return of vanquished Havana. Thus the Treaty of 1763 permanently shattered French ambitions in North America and severely curtailed Spanish colonial power for twenty years the period of British control in Florida. During the years necessary to accomplish the exchange of colonial rule in Florida the imperial rivalry among France Spain and England reached its denouement in the struggle for the Mississippi Valley and the Florida gulfcoast. Perhaps the most dramatic result of the exchange of colonial power was the removal of the entire Spanish population to Cuba and New Spain. Remarkably the evacuation of St. Augustine required only ten months. Although the relocation of the Spanish Floridians facilitated imperial transfer the displaced colnists suffered in their exchange of homelands. Mr. Gold traces the distress and eventual ruin of the major resettlement at Ceiba Mocha east of Havana in the Matanzas province. Florida in migrantes in Cuba and New Spain were confronted with similar hardships of relocation and economic duress as the Spanish exodus carried them abroad. Along with relating the exchange of colonial rule in terms of the population of Florida Mr. Gold examines and evaluates cultural religious and political changes.
