This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast.

187012823Newnan Ga: October 1 1870. Broadside 7.75 x 9 inches with engraved vignette at center. Old folds moderate foxing and dust-soiling light staining. Short closed tear to bottom edge. Overall very good. A delightful mid-19th-century Georgia railroad broadside advertising changes to the ticketing system for one of the southern rail lines owned by William Byrd Berry. Here rates for travel between Berry's hometown of Newnan and Carrollton or Bowdon are specified and the rates for children under the age of 10 are noted as half price. Further the broadside stipulates baggage is capped at fifty pounds and the excess will be charged "Express rates." The work is signed in type by "W.B. Berry & Co." and dated October 1 1870 in Newnan. The text is enhanced with a striking central vignette of a locomotive pulling several railcars through a mountainous region.

He served as president of various banks and was involved in a number of railroad interests in the state. As far as we can tell the present broadside is unrecorded. October 1 unknown
189813100Chattanooga TN: Sidebottom & Kerr 1898. 48pp. Slim oblong octavo. Original orange-tan wrappers printed in black stapled. Wrappers soiled creased and chipped with contemporary ownership inscription on front wrapper. First and last leaves detached from text block text block itself detached from wrappers. Good only. A scarce historical photobook that doubles as a catalogue for a Chattanooga photography studio at the outset of the Spanish-American War. Named after Union General George H. Thomas Camp Thomas was a massive temporary military training facility established at the Chickamauga Battlefield in Georgia during the Spanish-American War. The camp hosted up to 70000 troops but became a national scandal after deadly disease outbreaks. The work features seventy total monotone photographs from third-page to full-page with brief printed captions and plate sizes memorializing various scenes at Camp Thomas in 1898. The subjects of the photographs include military structures scenes on the training ground soldiers from various state units in small and large groups soldiers hosting local visitors the large corral of horses at the camp monuments inside the camp / national park views of the natural scenery and more. According to explanatory text on the inside front wrapper "the main idea is to show by photograph such scenes of every day occurrence; routine work both on and off duty as will give nearest a correct idea of what the life of a soldier in camp is made of or as you would see him were you on the grounds in person."<br /> <br /> The rear wrapper reveals an additional motivation for the publication of the work in the form of instructions for ordering any of the photographs featured within. Such is the reasoning behind the plate sizes listed by each example. The Chattanooga studio Sidebottom & Kerr states that "Every Plate in this Book was made expressly for it and having the negative can furnish upon short notice photograph of any plate." The company offers to send the catalogue free of charge to anyone east of the Rocky Mountains. A scarce and unusual photobook that does double duty as a Tennessee photographic studio's order book. OCLC reports just eight total institutional holdings. Sidebottom & Kerr unknown

Negro Myths from the Georgia Coast 1888 presenting a late nineteenth-century compilation of African American folklore recorded in the Gullah dialect of the Georgia and South Carolina coastal region with direct relevance to the study of Black oral traditions linguistic history and post-emancipation cultural expression.

1950233431950. Steel construction photo archive documenting the labor system of midcentury building expansion in Macon Georgia depicting how fabrication delivery crane work and frame erection operated within the commercial and industrial growth of the postwar South. An unidentified commercial photographer working for local firms recorded construction as an active process through graded sites exposed structural skeletons transport vehicles stacked steel rail access and crews handling heavy members before enclosure. The presence of a truck marked "Georgia Steel Erectors and Fabricators" places the archive within the working world of regional steel contractors whose labor connected shop fabrication road transport and on-site assembly during the decades when Georgia cities expanded through new industrial plants warehouses and commercial structures.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 10 silver gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" Macon Georgia circa 1950s to early 1960s. The photographs center on different stages of steel-frame construction including long rows of newly set columns broad skeletal buildings rising from cleared ground and partially enclosed structures with cranes positioned beside masonry walls and open bays. One image shows a crane truck with the side panel lettering "Georgia Steel Erectors and Fabricators" while another records large steel beams loaded on a trailer. Several views widen to include rail lines running directly into or beside the worksite stacked pipe or cylindrical materials graded roadbeds and an aerial overview that places the project within a larger industrial landscape of streets lots and service buildings. Laborers are shown throughout the archive on construction sites hauling and directing material. The sequence repeatedly favors unfinished structural stages over completed architecture making the archive a record of process material handling and coordinated building labor rather than a promotional set of finished-property views. Studio stamps en verso identify Drinnon Inc. by Ralph Jones Macon Georgia and one bearing the stamp Bryson's Photography Pensacola Florida.<br /> <br /> These photographs preserve the mechanics of midcentury construction at the point where steel fabrication transport and erection crews shaped Georgia's built environment. Macon's role as a commercial and industrial center made projects of this kind central to regional development and this archive shows that growth through the practical use of cranes beam delivery frame sequencing and the integration of road and rail infrastructure into the construction site itself. Light surface wear and minor edge wear; studio stamps clear on versos. Overall very good condition. The archive shows how labor materials and structural steel systems produced new industrial and commercial space in midcentury Georgia. unknown

183236785Washington DC: Gales & Seaton 1832. Newspaper. Good. Newspaper. Approx. 21" x 18." 4 pages. Two folds. Sheets are detached. Newspaper has light toning. Name of R. J. Ingersoll New Haven Con" written top of issue. Possibly the same Ingersoll that served 4 terms in Congress from 1825-1833. <br /> <br /> Entire contents of page 2 concern "The Cherokee Case. Opinion of the Supreme Court delivered by Mr. Chief Justice Marshall January Term 1832. Samuel A. Worcester vs. The State of Georgia." The case is also printed on the first column of page 3. Supreme Court case of Samuel Worcester. From the Brittannica website: <br /> <br /> Worcester v. Georgia involved a group of white Christian missionaries including Samuel A. Worcester who were living in Cherokee territory in Georgia. In addition to their missionary work the men were advising the Cherokee about resisting Georgia's attempts to impose state laws on the Cherokee Nation a self-governing nation whose independence and right to its land had been guaranteed in treaties with the United States government. In an effort to stop the missionaries the state in 1830 passed an act that forbade "white persons" from living on Cherokee lands unless they obtained a license from the governor of Georgia and swore an oath of loyalty to the state. Worcester and the other missionaries had been invited by the Cherokee and were serving as missionaries under the authority of the U.S. federal government. They did not however have a license from Georgia nor did they swear a loyalty oath to that state. Georgia state authorities arrested Worcester and several other missionaries. After they were convicted at trial in 1831 and sentenced to four years of hard labour in prison Worcester appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.<br /> <br /> Worcester argued that Georgia had no right to extend its laws to Cherokee territory. He contended that the act under which he had been convicted violated the U.S. Constitution which gives to the U.S. Congress the authority to regulate commerce with Native Americans. The Constitution also bars the states from passing laws that alter the obligations of contracts-in this case treaties. Several treaties between the Cherokee and the U.S. government recognized the independence and sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. Furthermore Worcester argued that the Georgia laws violated an 1802 act of Congress that regulated trade and relations between the United States and the Indian tribes.<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void. Writing for the court Chief Justice John Marshall held that "the Indian nations had always been considered as distinct independent political communities retaining their original natural rights as the undisputed possessors of the soil." Even though Native Americans were now under the protection of the United States he wrote that "protection does not imply the destruction of the protected." Marshall concluded:<br /> The Cherokee Nation then is a distinct community occupying its own territory.in which the laws of Georgia can have no force and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves or in conformity with treaties and with the acts of Congress. The whole intercourse between the United States and this Nation is by our Constitution and laws vested in the Government of the United States.<br /> <br /> Georgia however ignored the decision keeping Worcester and the other missionaries in prison. Eventually they were granted a pardon and were released in 1833. Pres. Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court's decision thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes. The U.S. government began forcing the Cherokee off their land in 1838. In what became known as the Trail of Tears some 15000 Cherokee were driven from their land and were marched westward on a grueling journey that caused the deaths of some 4000 of their people.<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void.
