1843WRCAM52065London: T.R. Harrison 1843. 264pp. Dbd. Loosely stitched. Manuscript alternate page numbers very faint occasional foxing but overall a clean and crisp copy. A Parliamentary printing of documents relating to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 negotiated principally by Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton which resolved several boundary disputes between the United States and Canada. Foremost it determined the border between Maine and New Brunswick which had been the subject of growing local confrontations known informally as the Aroostook War. The treaty also agreed on crimes for which extradition was possible and notably neglected to include flight from slavery on that list. The documents contain correspondence between Webster and Asburton on both of those subjects as well as several letters discussing the Caroline affair in which a group of agitators for Canadian independence attacked an American steamboat on the Niagara River and sent it ablaze over the Falls in 1837.

Original red ribbon tied green printed green wrapper.<br/> <br/>Likely privately printed account of an August 1903 camping and fishing trip into Canada's Muskoka region by fourteen people from the Indian Territory Arkansas Mississippi Kentucky Tennessee Washington DC and Northampton and Boston Massachusetts.<br/> <br/>Hosted by Major Breckenridge this trip was a follow-up to a 1902 trip ruined by bad weather and other problems and cut short. This 1903 trip was better organized and with a larger party. The group assembled at a cottage on Lake Rousseau north of Toronto and took canoes to camps on Lakes Blackstone and Crane near Parry Sound. The first four chapters relay descriptions of their travels camping gear fishing tackle boats the scenery local farms and preparations for various activities among many other details. The final chapter of the book "August 1903" was written by Mary Breckenridge and provides a detailed account of the fishing: "We now had a plentiful supply of fish. Luck was good for nearly everyone.to the major rested the honor of the largest fish a wall-eyed pike with a really ferocious countenance." The photographs closely track the narrative with the images reflecting the text opposite and show docks and buildings along the traveled routes scenes of the Canadian backwoods camps and members of the party engaged in various activities including swimming boating fishing cooking etc. Major Breckeridge wished to "provide a trip which would make his girls permanent lovers of fishing and camping and willing companions of his future expeditions for.none are too tender to cultivate the angler's art." He bought a small number of maple leaf pins which he distributed to the party and which became the badge of the Maple Leaf Club. Privately printed unknown books

Very good overall. An entertaining diary chronicling a seven- week camping and canoeing trip in the Ontario wilderness by four Yale University students during the summer of 1911. <br> <br> We believe the author of this diary to be Henry Eldridge Perry a Yale student who was accompanied on this adventure by three friends: Jo Dugas Edward Bancroft Twombly a member of the Yale class of 1912 and of Skull and Bones and Jeff Jeffery. They met at North Bay Ontario and took the train to Cochrane and then on to Low Bush where their journey began. Their purported mission was to search for fossils minerals and other geological samples but the diary reveals they were mostly searching for adventure. <br> <br> Perry's daily entries detail their progress on the water portaging from lake to lake setting up numerous campsites in difficult territory battling the weather hunting and fishing and chance meetings with lumberjacks and Indians among other excitement. They regularly shot partridges for breakfast and caught pickerel and pike for dinner when they could "I kidded myself into thinking I was fishing but I really only held a pole" - July 20. <br> <br> The hunting highlight of the trip was the downing of a black bear on August 10: <br> <br> "This afternoon Jeff & I went out to Baker Lake to hunt for an outlet.we didn't see much some Indian wigwams a log house & all the skeletons hides & utensils they discard upon departure. Farther up we happened to run into a bear. Heard a big crashing in the bush & that we'd pinch a wild beast or two so I paddled nearer while Jeff adjusted his rifle. Just then the old brute broke thru the bush & trotted along the shore without seeing us. Then he began to swim across & I paddled after him like the dickens. Jeff began to shoot & the first shot the bear saw us & turned for shore. Jeff shot twice more & the third time pinked him under the ear. He flopped and after a few kicks was dead floating on the surface. How we vibrated! We tied a rope around his neck & towed him ashore. Then we got out in about two feet of water & lifted him clear of the water into the canoe. How we did it we'll never know. He weighs about 400 lbs is 6 ft 8 in from nose to hind foot 5 ft. 3 in. from nose to tail 44 inches round abdomen 40 round chest & 30 round neck. Jo says he's the biggest black bear he's ever seen." <br> <br> Perry is an amusing and self-effacing narrator never holding back his complaints about mosquitos or leaking tents and giving each campsite a new and clever name such as: "Camp Hang-over" "Camp Gloom" "Camp Larger Gloom" "Camp Hellgate" and "Camp Where the - are We Or - if I Know." Although he only refers to himself by his last name our Perry is likely Henry Eldridge Perry who roomed with Twombly during their last two years at Yale. A native of Crete Nebraska Perry may also have provided the backwoods expertise for this outing. A delightful glimpse of a substantial trip by four amateur outdoorsmen.

1842WRCAM39134Montreal: Printed by John C. Becket 1842. Broadside 22 1/2 x 17 3/4 inches. Printed in six columns. Small tears and creasing at all margins affecting a few words of text; significant loss at upper corners not affecting text. Good. A Canadian broadside advertising lands available in the Eastern Townships printed at the beginning of the region's transformation into a French-speaking area. In the early 1800s the Eastern Townships were an almost exclusively Anglophone region of Quebec. The American Revolution precipitated the flight of over 40000 Loyalists to Canada in the 1780s including a small handful to the largely unsettled region of Quebec between the St. Lawrence River and the U.S. border known as the Eastern Townships. The Loyalists cleared much of the rich land for farming which attracted a large number of immigrants from New England in the first decades of the 19th century. In the 1840s a rapid shift occurred in the region as French- speaking Quebecois from poorer areas began pouring in and the English speakers began emigrating to the U.S. and other parts of Canada. Francophones became a majority in the 1870s and today constitute over 85% of the population. <br> <br> The present broadside printed in English lists hundreds of lots for sale by the British American Land Company and includes over a column's worth of detailed descriptions of lands open for purchase. The following towns and areas are represented: Ascot Auckland Brompton Compton Clifton Clinton Ditton Dudswell Eaton Hereford Melbourne Newport Orford Shipton Stoke Weedon Westbury and Windsor in the County of Sherbrooke; Barford Barnston Bolton Hatley Potton and Stanstead in the County of Stanstead; Brome Ely Farnham Granby Milton Roxton Shefford and Stukeley in the County of Shefford; Acton Aston Chester Durhan Grantham Ham Kingsley Simpson Tingwock Warwick Wendover and Wickham in the County of Drummond; Sutton in the County of Missisquoi; Hemmingford in the County of Beauharnois; and improved farms in the district of St. Francis Territory Port St. Francis and the town of Sherbrooke. Not listed on OCLC and apparently unrecorded. Very rare. Printed by John C. Becket unknown books
