1921802Colusa Ca. 1921. About very good. 8pp. Pictorial self wrappers stapled. Light wear and creasing; a few short closed tears at wrapper edges. Contemporary ownership inscription on front wrap. Even tanning. A scarce promotional for the Young Oil Company and its development of an apparently lucrative oil strike at Bear Creek in Colusa County during 1921. The pamphlet prints a story first published in the local Colusa Sun newspaper which documents history of oil production at the site chronicles the purchase of the lease by Young Oil in 1915 and relates positive comments from several contemporary geologists' reports that convinced the company to significantly increase its investment and work on the property including the imminent arrival of an industrial drilling rig from Texas. The remainder of the text publishes a letter from a Sacramento oil man William Babcock which describes the operation as "The best oil venture that I know of -- in fact it looks so good to me that while I have for all intents and purposes retired from active participation in the development of the oil business I shall in this case make an exception." The final leaf prints an enjoinder from the company to "Buy all the Young Oil Company stock you can afford" and gives the organizational information of the firm. Illustrated with five halftone images of the site; not in OCLC. unknown books
1866WRCAM17607New York San Francisco & Sacramento 1866. Sixteen volumes. Contemporary legal sheep leather labels. Some volumes with tender or almost detached hinges. Contemporary and later ownership inscriptions including those of Walter Norris of Salinas Lucas F. Smith of Santa Cruz Victor L. Hicks Wright & Wright of San Francisco and Fred V. Wood of Oakland. Overall a very good set. A complete run of the first editions of the statutes of California during her formative years. As the third and fourth volumes are very rare it is extremely difficult to find a consecutive run of these early laws. At this early stage of California legal printing any given state printer was not kept for long. Those represented herein are as follows: J. Winchester first volume; Eugene Casserly State Printer second volume; G.K. Fitch & V.E. Geiger Co. State Printers third volume; George Kerr State Printer fourth volume; B.B. Redding State Printers fifth and sixth volumes; James Allen State Printer seventh and eighth volumes; James O'Meara State Printer ninth and tenth volumes; Charles T. Botts State Printer eleventh and twelfth volumes; Benj. P. Avery State Printer thirteenth and fourteenth volumes; O.M. Clayes State Printer fifteenth and sixteenth volumes. <br> <br> There is an interesting note to the printing history of the statutes. According to Wagner the Governor refused to acknowledge Casserly as state printer at the end of the 1851 session and instead appointed G.K. Fitch to the position. Fitch turned over all state printing copy to be done in New York. Casserly brought the matter to court and won back his position as state printer whereupon the already printed statutes were sold to him in a compromise agreement. Casserly then proceeded to have new titlepages added to the statutes that had been printed in New York and added errata slips and an index. All subsequent laws were printed in California.

18801141Santa Cruz: H. Coffin 1880. Very good. 8 issues 8pp. each plus two broadsheet supplements. Folio newsprint. Contemporary sales agency ink stamps. Light wear and chipping at top edges; a few nicks and minor wear to other edges. Light toning and dust soiling to regular newspaper issues; broadsheets moderately toned and slightly brittle. An excellent group of eight issues plus two broadsheet supplements of this rare California newspaper. The Local Item was one of two newspapers along with the Courier published in Santa Cruz in the late 1870s; the two papers merged in 1880. The present group contains five issues and two broadsheet supplements from April and May 1879 which contain much news and debate over the ratification of the new California state constitution which was eventually approved by popular vote on May 7 1879. Among the many issues debated are the apportionment of local and state power the judicial and educational articles powers of taxation and clauses prohibiting Chinese residents from the vote and many types of employment. The two supplemental broadsheets print opinions on the new Constitution from various California and eastern newspapers as well as excerpts from speeches of California politicians Thomas Laine and Creed Haymond. On the whole the view put forward and reprinted by the newspaper take a fairly negative view of the new Constitution. The final three issues present here from the end of 1879 and the beginning of 1880 contain a mix of local state and national news developments in San Francisco markets and stories of human and more fantastical interest such as an account of Colorado ranch life updates on Yellow Fever epidemics reports of a sea monster and a lengthy exposé on a woman who had posed as a man for a quarter-century. A rare periodical and a good document of an important political moment in California state history. OCLC locates only a run at Berkeley and a group of early issues at AAS. H. Coffin unknown books
