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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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
1869WRCAM55594New Orleans: A.L. Lee State Printer 1869. 30pp. Original printed wrappers. Soft vertical crease throughout wrappers somewhat chipped mild soiling. Small stain to upper corner of titlepage and following leaf otherwise text evenly toned. Withal a very good copy. A scarce and interesting report that is tantamount to a Reconstruction-era promotional for the state of Louisiana with commentary on emancipated African Americans in the state. The dramatic social revolution caused by the Civil War Emancipation and Reconstruction is reflected in the present work. After the Civil War Confederate nationalistic passions had not cooled sufficiently to encourage settlement in Louisiana. In fact immigration seemed to be headed the other way with "an emigration of thousands of our best citizens to the North" according to the report. <br> <br> Now however "an era of good feeling seems to be at hand." A diversifying society an abundance of crops and respect for "the political opinions" of northern immigrants are all bringing positive changes to Louisiana. Emphasizing the necessity of peaceful race relations Immigration Bureau Chief James Noyes counsels the former plantation owners "Never did any one people under the sun owe a greater debt of gratitude to another than do the property owners of Louisiana to the blacks just released from the hardships of slavery.The wonderful progress they have already made is the best possibly augury for their future." The wrapper title reads REPORT OF JAMES O. NOYES CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF LOUISIANA. <br> <br> Quite uncommon with OCLC recording just nine physical copies - seven under the title on the titlepage and two under the wrapper title.

1720WRCAM48868Amsterdam 1720. Single-sheet map 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches. Minor foxing. Near fine. A scarce early map of the Mississippi River Valley depicting the American region between the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes taken from HET GROOT TAFEREEL DER DWAASHEID. THE GREAT MIRROR OF FOLLY a scathing account of the speculative crashes that led to European financial disaster in 1720. The work was a chronicle of the failed attempts by John Law Controller General of Finances for the French government to open Louisiana to trade in order to help alleviate France's financial problems. This led to the creation of the Mississippi Company which created the "Mississippi Bubble" incident that destroyed the Banque Générale Privée the General Private Bank which Law founded. The map depicts the Mississippi River parts of Louisiana and Florida Lake Michigan referred to here as "Lac de Illionis" and Lake Superior the extent of French colonial explorations in the region and names of Indian tribes.
