Originally stitched now loosened. Illustration on rear wrapper: 'Front Entrance Gentilly Road. Several institutional stamps scattered foxing and dusting. The final 25 pages are advertisements from various commercial enterprises mostly from New Orleans. Good.

The advertisements alone demonstrate impressively Louisiana's determined recovery from the War. Officers Directors and Committee Members are listed after the title page. The Fair's President was the merchant I.N. Marks. "As indicated by his name ISAAC N. MARKS is of Hebrew descent and is a distinguished representative of his highly favored race but contrary to the usual customs of that people he has adopted the Christian faith. This change in his creed is due to the independent manner of thought which has characterized him from his boyhood and has ever made him master of his personality in the domain of both his sentiments and business. Mr. Marks is a native of South Carolina having been born at Charleston on the 5th of May 1817. At the age of nineteen he came to New Orleans and linked his career with that of his adopted city then lacking much of the greatness and grandeur which to-day places her a queen among cities" online 'Genealogy Trails History Group Orleans Parish The pamphlet records Louisiana's first Fair after the War's end in late November 1866.

Louisiana: Shepley George F.ABAA

STATE OF LOUISIANA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT NEW ORLEANS OCTOBER 29 1863. GENTLEMEN: AN ADDRESS TO THE CITIZENS OF LOUISIANA WAS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY.PURPORTING TO BE SIGNED BY YOU BY ORDER OF THE EXECUTIVE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF LOUISIANA caption title and beginning of text

1863WRCAM55510New Orleans 1863. 2pp. printed on a folded quarto sheet. Faintest toning at bottom edge else fine. An interesting New Orleans imprint encapsulating the tensions between Northern political forces and indigenous conservative political actors during the brief Free State movement in Confederate Louisiana. Here George F. Shepley military governor of Louisiana from 1862 to 1864 rebukes Conservative Unionists H.H. Pugh E. Ames and J.Q.A. Fellows of the "Executive Central Committee of Louisiana." They had issued what "in effect purports to be a proclamation for an election of members of Congress and officers of the State government." Shepley pronounces such a proclamation void writing that "no authority for such action has been given by the National Government or by the military authorities in this State." Further Shepley demands the organizers of the committee answer a series of questions about the who what when where and why's of the committee's existence. The Executive Central Committee in Louisiana was a conservative organization that sought to re-institute the original American Constitution in Louisiana mainly to restore slavery and lobbied Abraham Lincoln on the matter in the summer of 1863. Of course Lincoln did not comply siding with the more radical Free State Committee and insisting on a new constitutional convention for Louisiana followed by new elections before Congress met in early December. The present document surely came about as a reaction to efforts by the Executive Central Committee to get their way before a new Constitution based on eventual Reconstruction the Emancipation Proclamation and new elections could be drafted and approved. Lincoln's efforts at a new constitution and elections for Louisiana continued into 1864 and came to fruition for a brief time with new elections in late February and a new constitution ratified by public vote in September. This new political landscape for Louisiana was short-lived however as the U.S. Congress refused to seat the Louisiana delegation in December 1864. Not in Jumonville or Thompson and with no copies in OCLC. An illuminating entry in the brief Free State movement in Louisiana during the Civil War. unknown books

Louisiana Purchase: Laussat Pierre ClAAment deABAA

MANUSCRIPT LETTER SIGNED FROM THE FRENCH COLONIAL PREFECT OF LOUISIANA LAUSSAT TO CAPTAIN GUILLERMO DUPARC COMMANDANT OF THE POINT COUPÃƒÂ‰E POST TELLING HIM OF THE SPANISH RETROCESSION OF LOUISIANA TO THE FRENCH AND INSTRUCTING HIM TO TAKE THE NECESSARY MEASURES TO EXERT CONTROL OVER HIS PARISH

1803WRCAM42001New Orleans 1803. 1p. on a folded folio sheet with engraved scene entitled "RÃƒÂ©publique FranÃƒÂ§aise" at the top of the first page. A few manuscript notes and calculations on the second and fourth pages. Old folds. Some soiling on fourth page a bit of ink bleedthrough. Very good. with: PRINTED INVITATION SENT BY THE FRENCH COLONIAL PREFECT OF LOUISIANA LAUSSAT FOR A GALA IN HONOR OF THE SPANISH COMMANDER IN LOUISIANA AND IN ANTICIPATION OF HANDING THE LOUISIANA TERRITORY OVER TO THE UNITED STATES. Dec. 11 1803 19 Frimaire an XII. 1p. printed on a folded quarto sheet addressed in manuscript on the fourth page. Small tear in upper right corner of first page half-inch split along one fold. Very good. Together in a half morocco clamshell case cloth chemises. A remarkable pair of documents announcing to a local French commander the completion of the transfer of Louisiana from Spanish to French control and inviting him to an upcoming gala in honor of the local Spanish commander and the forthcoming transfer of Louisiana Territory to the United States. The letter and invitation are both addressed to Capt. Guillermo Duparc commandant of the Point CoupÃƒÂ©e military outpost just northwest of Baton Rouge. Pierre ClÃƒÂ©ment de Laussat the last French Colonial Prefect of Louisiana arrived there in late March 1803 just a month before the Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed in Paris on April 30. Spain had ceded Louisiana to the French in the Treaty of San Ildefonso of 1800 though the provisions of the treaty had remained a secret; his immediate responsibility was to oversee the transfer from Spain to France. Laussat had been hearing rumors since his arrival of a potential sale of Louisiana from France to the Americans and those rumors were officially confirmed to him in August. In May 1803 the Spanish commanders of Louisiana including the Marquis de Casa Calvo announced the forthcoming retrocession of Louisiana from Spanish to French control a process that was formally completed on Nov. 30 1803. In the present letter dated just nine days after the completion of the Spanish retrocession Laussat writes Duparc sending him in translation from the French "the order which I have issued concerning taking possession of the French Republic of Louisiana in your district. I reached an agreement on it in advance with the Commissioners of S.M.C. Sa MajestÃƒÂ© Catholique i.e. King Charles IV of Spain dated the 12th of Frimaire Dec. 4 1803." Laussat writes that along with the proclamation he is sending Duparc various decrees regarding the circumstances of French control and asks him to redouble his efforts for tranquility peace and order in his district. The proclamation and decrees mentioned by Laussat are not present with this letter. The manuscript letter is on Laussat's official letterhead with the seal of the French Republic and the engraved text "Marine. Coloniea. Louisiane." Interestingly Laussat has annotated the pre- printed portion of the letter changing his title from "Colonial Prefect of Louisiana" to "Colonial Prefect Commissioner of the French Government" reflecting the new political situation after the Spanish hand-over of the territory to the French just nine days earlier. The printed invitation is also addressed to M. Duparc and is very rare located by Jumonville in only one other copy at the Historic New Orleans Collection. Dated Dec. 11 1803 it invites Duparc to a SOIRÃƒÂ‰E hosted by Laussat on "next Thursday" the 15th of December. The party was being held to commemorate the transfer of Louisiana from Spanish to French control and its impending transfer to the United States. More specifically the party was in honor of the Spanish commander the Marquis de Casa-Calvo brigadier of the Spanish armies in thanks for the Spaniards' efforts in recent days and as a sign of the union and friendship between the Spanish and French governments. On Dec. 20 1803 just eleven days after writing this letter and five days after his gala in honor of Casa-Calvo Laussat presided over the ceremony officially transferring Louisiana Territory to the United States. Laussat's manuscript letter and printed invitation of Capt. Duparc are rare survivals and fascinating evidence of the political military and social aspects of events in Louisiana in 1803 from the Spanish transfer of control of the territory to France to the official completion of the Louisiana Purchase by the United States. Printed invitation: JUMONVILLE 86. hardcover books
