Moses Austin's report on the lead mines in Missouri is one of the earliest selections in Becker's fourth edition of Wagner-Camp's Plains & Rockies: no. 2d ! -- Our copy was owned by Congressman Samuel W. Dana 1760-1830 who was almost certainly in attendance when Jefferson read THIS State of the Union Address "to Both Houses of the Congress." Dana's annotations appear on the first seven pages of the text. <br/><br/>Moses Austin's report on mining in Missouri appears as the third item in the present volume. Howes calls it the "First United States' book on Missouri" even though it was never separately issued. The bespoke report is likely the first publication concerning mining west of the Mississippi River. It certainly precedes Henry R. Schoolcraft's 1819 "A View of the Lead Mines of Missouri" sometimes considered the first book on the subject of Western mines. Austin reported to Jefferson that area he was then mining would be a choice acquisition for the United States. Austin utilized ingenious mining techniques of his own creation and became extremely successful. However in the end he had to declare bankruptcy a setback which caused him to turn to Texas for a land grant. Thus in one of the odd twists of history a failed mining venture in Missouri eventually led to the Republic and State of Texas a cause that was of course championed successfully by his son: Stephen F. Austin.<br/><br/>The other two documents in Jefferson's State of the Union message are of interest: the first expresses Spain's abandonment of opposition to the Louisiana Purchase -- a welcome development. The second is a proclamation by the President establishing a Customs District and Port of Entry at Mobile Alabama on the Gulf Coast. Other topics include the organization of the Louisiana Territory and measures taken against the Barbary pirates. Jefferson also reports that he is hoping to deal peacefully and productively with the area's Native Americans a policy that would be abandoned later in the century by other presidents.<br/><br/>PROVENANCE: Samuel W.
