180023633Philadelphia 1800. 4pp. Disbound. Else Near Fine. <br/><br/> Isaac Zane was a member of the Zane family of Wheeling after whom Zanesville Ohio is named. He was "made a prisoner by the Wyandot Indians when an infant of nine years of age with which nation he has ever since remained having married an Indian woman by whom he has many children." <br/> The Wyandots assigned him a tract of land. That land was later ceded to the United States by the Treaty of 1795. Zane asks that his title be confirmed. The Committee agrees recommending that the United States convey to him 2560 acres of land at Big Bottom on Mad River. The Committee observes that Zane during "the Indian war rendered great and repeated services to the frontier settlements." <br/>Evans 38864. NAIP w021902 12. unknown books

Weld an Irishman came to America in 1795 when he was nineteen. This work narrates his travels through the former colonies along the eastern seaboard and the Canadian provinces. Very popular at the time it was published Weld comments on the population and social habits and customs of the people he saw. According to Howes Weld seemed to prefer Canada to the States. Compared to the similar works of this period Weld seems to be fairly objective on most things. However whether or not his observation that Americans lose their teeth prematurely is accurate would be hard to substantiate. Contains several interesting views of Niagara Falls Mt. Vernon Bethlehem PA and a large map of the northern portion of the United States with inset of the southern States. John Stockdale hardcover books
