1794WRCAM53655Augusta Ga. 1794. Two printed forms completed in manuscript the first approximately 13 x 13 inches the second approximately 12 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches. Large wood and wax seal of Georgia attached with ribbon. Folded. Light tanning and foxing. Very good. An impressive printed land grant completed in manuscript for 1000 acres of land in Washington County Georgia granted by Gov. George Mathews to Richmond Dawson. The document is signed by Mathews as well as the surveyor George Weatherby who has included a sketch of the land in question. The land is described as "on the waters of Choopee River bounded South West and South East by said Dawson's Land and on all other sides by Vacant Lands." <br> <br> Governor Mathews had an eventful career first as a Revolutionary soldier including a stint as colonel of the Virginia troops in Greene's Carolina campaign then as governor of Georgia and finally as a special agent leading "irregular" activities in attempts to wrest Florida from Spain in 1810-12. In the end the U.S. government repudiated Mathews' Florida actions and he died in Augusta a bitter old man. "By his demise the authorities at Washington escaped the consequences of his threat that he'd 'be dam'd if he didn't blow them all up' and he carried to the grave much evidence that might explain his debatable conduct" - DAB. A handsome Georgia document and unusual early imprint. unknown books

Augusta GA 1794. A wonderful survival evoking the era of the Yazoo Land Frauds. Both Governor George Mathews and his immediate predecessor Edward Telfair were or were about to be tainted with involvement in Georgia land speculation; Mathews as governor in fact signed the notorious Yazoo Land Act. Having served in the Revolution Mathews had been nominated as the first governor of the Mississippi Territory but lost the appointment because of dubious land speculation and alleged involvement on the Blount Conspiracy; later he played a leading role in fomenting revolution in Florida. Telfair a prominent rebel during the revolution and a member of the Continental Congress served as governor 1789-1793 during which time "he was reckless in his dealings with the state's lands" DAB. Some wear and fraying at the edges a few small splits at folds still a very good example all soundly secured by the original pink ribbon from which the great seal of Georgia is suspended.

1919147489Tbilisi: no stated publisher February 1919. First edition of this rare book of satirical sketches showing British forces and the locals during the occupation of Batumi an oft-overlooked conflict in the final year of the war. There are cartoons of Gurkhas Chinese Punjabis Turks and Cossacks reflecting the wide diversity of people involved in the conflict. We have traced only two other copies at the Imperial War Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Batumi the capital of the region of Adjara in southwest Georgia changed hands multiple times in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. First it was controlled by the Russian Empire until the October Revolution where the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk transferred the region to the Ottomans. However the Transcaucasian Federation opposed this deal and Ottoman forces proceeded to invade in April 1918. After the defeat of the Ottoman empire in the First World War 3000 men from one British and two Indian battalions part of the Army of the Black Sea were sent to supervise their withdrawal in December 1918. The 1st Battalion Cameron Highlanders were present in this conflict as part of the 27th Division and the large number of Scottish soldiers pictured in these cartoons indicate that perhaps Baxley was one of them. The region was eventually ceded to the newly independent state of Georgia in 1920. The loosely inserted photographs show a cafe in Batumi the Bosporus a farewell party among soldiers of the Royal Flying Corps the British Army HQ in a bombed-out street and the locals. Octavo. Cartoon illustrations printed on recto of 14 leaves. With 10 loosely inserted gelatin silver prints approximately 85 x 118 mm 3 captioned in pencil on verso 3 numbered in pencil on verso. Original brown paper wrappers wire-stitched as issued front wrapper lettered and decorated in black.

186241734Turnwold Putnam County Ga. 1862. Each issue a folio sheet folded to 8 pp. Each page 9-1/4" x12." Each number printed in three columns per page. No. 12 with a persistent corner chip and occasional small loss. Light foxing. Very Good. EACH ISSUE $250 OR THE ENTIRE RUN FOR $1000<br /> <br /> Crandall does not record Numbers 4 and 5; but AAS which says The Countryman was "suspended intermittently" evidently owns them. Its first printing was March 18 1862. The articles cover an array of subjects including of course much on the War: <br /> This interesting Confederate weekly was printed at Turnwold Turner's Putnam County plantation probably the only wartime newspaper so printed. "Joel Chandler Harris was an apprentice for Joseph Addison Turner. In 1862 Turner decided to produce a newspaper from his home at Turnwold Plantation. In fact in a more-than-semi-autobiographical book Harris wrote called On the Plantation he explains that the printing office for The Countryman was established 'in an outhouse.'. . . As was the typical arrangement for the time Harris worked for Turner in exchange for clothing and boarding at the Turnwold Plantation for the four plus years he apprenticed there. As a printer's devil Harris was responsible for setting and inking the type for the paper on the hand-press individually placing the letters so they were spaced appropriately for printing" "Joel Chandler Harris and The Wren's Nest" December 3 2020 Blog site of American Writers Museum accessed May 01 2026. <br /> Crandall 5152.

Good. A rare pamphlet comprising the defendant's response to the United States Supreme Court in a case regarding funds for the care of former slaves that were supposed to be paid out of the estate of Gazaway B. Lamar according to his will. The plaintiffs argue for the $100000 bequeathed to them in Mr. Lamar's will funds intended "to be devoted to establishing and sustaining one or more hospitals in Augusta and Savannah for colored persons.who have been slaves and their descendants giving preference to those which once belonged to or were hired by me." The respondents' attorney Joseph H. Coates breaks his argument down into five points and in summation states that there simply isn't enough left in the estate to satisfy the claim. The plaintiff's circuit court appeal is present in OCLC in only one copy but there are no physical copies in OCLC of this response from the defendants.

Text of the letter: "Dearest Sister I have been having quite the time caring for Jake Braswell's effects after the Lynching in the 15th. The Sheriff will not allow me to enter his room to collect his effects. I do believe that he has nothing of value. If I have to then I will contact an attorney to handle the whole affair.

Braswell reportedly was given the choice of being burned or hanging himself. When he did not follow through on hanging himself Braswell was involuntarily hung and his body riddled with bullets. It is unclear how Marcus and his sister were related or otherwise connected to Braswell. unknown
