First edition 8vo 2 volumes pp. xxxii 316; vii 1 387; slightly later half calf over marbled boards red morocco labels on spines; rebacked with old spines laid down; good and sound. Colton 1789-1857 who gave up his ministry because of the failure of his voice went to England in 1831 as a correspondent for the New York Observer. Unlike his earlier religious works which are of little value "his descriptive narratives of travel are of much real value" see DAB. Field 345: "Mr. Colton seems to have been imbued with the laudable design of affording such information regarding the Indians he visited as would not only excite the interest of his readers in his narration of incident but would arouse the sympathy of the humane to their wretched condition. Almost the entire work is devoted to the relation of Indian affairs. More than half of the first volume is occupied with personal observations of Aboriginal life and statements made to him regarding it. The second volume is entirely filled with a collection of facts relating to their origin wars treaties treatment by the governments of Great Britain and the United States and the result of missions among them."

Broadside printed recto only. 14-5/8" x 5-1/4" <br/><br/>A relative of the Buddings said this was handed out at Reunion Meetings and is apparently a true story. Union troops on scout are asked by a Tennessee Confederate farmer to help him extricate a stuck wagon and promises them some Apple Jack in return. Unfortunately for the Union troops the story is a ruse and the "Yanks" are captured by 20 Confederates. While marching one member of the 45th chews on soap foams at the mouth and plays dead. They march on only to get freed by 50 Union troops. The original group goes back to the farmer to get the Apple Jack and tie up the farmer and take all of his provisions. <br /> <br />"The Johnnies took a look at him and then one sed/ That thar Mr Yankee is clean gone dead/ The Captain he examined him sed to one of his men/ He's the ugliest corpse I seed in my life/ and we can't stop long to tend/ to any kind of a burying for he's drawed up like a toad/ Gist roll him in the bushes on the lower side of the road. I kind of smiled to myself but did'nt say nothing but thunk/ I looked at Jim and he looked at me and gave his one eye a wunk." <br /> <br />Only 1 institutional holding located on OCLC Yale.

1852WRCAM54266Cassel: Theodor Fischer 1852. Sixteen color lithographed mapsheets each 15 1/2 x 19 3/4 inches plus 2pp. explanatory text. Large oblong folio. Original printed paper- covered boards cloth backstrip. Minor rubbing and edge wear light staining. Internally clean. Very good plus. A rare and unusual atlas for the eastern half of the United States printed in German by noted American mapmaker J. Calvin Smith. Fifteen of the sixteen mapsheets comprise a sectional map intended to be pieced together to create a very large map of the eastern United States extending westward to parts of Texas the Indian Territory later Oklahoma and Nebraska. The sixteenth mapsheet is a general map of the United States including a good portion of lower Canada and the Caribbean extending southward to Venezuela. The sheet of explanatory text pictures the sectional map if assembled correctly from the fifteen sheets. <br> <br> This atlas was issued during a period of great German emigration to the United States and it was clearly intended for the use of emigrants and emigration offices - it would have been of great use to them. <br> <br> Most of the time Smith's maps are encountered as American productions. Considering the flood of German emigration to the United States in the mid-19th century it is logical that this map was printed to encourage the practice and therefore commissioned by German investors in the United States. This German edition of Smith's map is rarer than his American productions with Colton. KARROW I:1626. KARPINSKI 177 dating it 1850. RUMSEY 3471 ref. Theodor Fischer hardcover books
