Moderate dampstaining and soiling occasional foxing moderate wear at edges. Autograph signatures of Colonial Prefect Laussat and Commission Secretary Daugerot authorization stamp of the Préfecture Coloniale de la Louisiane contemporary inscriptions above text. A good copy. In a cloth clamshell case leather label. An exceedingly rare New Orleans broadside concerning the provisional administration of customs duties printed during the brief return of France's control of Louisiana between the Spanish and American periods of ownership. The decree creates a French customs system in place of the Spanish authority and appoints "Mr. Garland and citizen Navailles respectively as Collector of Customs and Treasurer under the newly installed French regime" Hummel. <br> <br> Spain signed a treaty of cession on March 21 1801 but this was not announced to the inhabitants of the colony until March 27 1803. The actual transfer of Louisiana back to France occurred on November 30 of that year and three weeks later the territory became a part of the United States. Pierre Clément de Laussat Colonial Prefect arrived in New Orleans from Paris to take formal possession of Louisiana and as had already been arranged to transfer title to the U.S. "Laussat's first official announcement after his arrival in New Orleans was followed by five other proclamations or edicts in broadside form which have been seen and recorded in the course of this study and there were undoubtedly still others which have not come to light. The purpose of these broadsides was to establish and carry on the machinery of government and to insure the maintenance of law and order after the automatic termination of the authority of the Spanish magistrates and office holders. Most of these bear at the top an interesting woodcut of the typical female figure symbolical of France and inscribed 'Préfecture Coloniale.' This woodblock was undoubtedly brought by the commission from Paris" - McMurtrie NEW ORLEANS. <br> <br> Jumonville records copies at New Orleans Public Library and Tulane; OCLC adds a third copy at Yale.

18324161New Orleans: June 30 1832. Good. 3pp. on a single folded sheet addressed on verso of second leaf. Old mailing folds minor foxing tiny hole in second leaf from removal of wax seal costing a couple of words significant fading to text. An informative and content-rich manuscript letter from Abner Phelps a transplanted New Englander living in antebellum New Orleans written to Phelps's school fellow and close friend Gilman Marston later a Civil War Union General and U.S. Senator from New Hampshire. Abner Phelps is a notable but still somewhat obscure historical figure in the lore of New Orleans and San Francisco. He worked as a lawyer in both cities and served in the Mexican-American War before moving to California during the early Gold Rush. He and his wife built a house in San Francisco in 1850 that retains their name and is considered to be among the oldest private residences in California. In the present letter Phelps describes his experiences after moving to New Orleans first taking a job teaching school "from six in the morning till nine in the evening. Very few of my scholars speak English but only French and Spanish. I have a hard task as they are very ungovernable fellows. I shall however relinquish this employment in the fall and commence the practice of law." The temperature had already risen to ninety-six degrees and "most of the northern merchants have left the city" for the summer leaving the streets to "appear desolate and forsaken." He had already suffered from Yellow Fever and comments that "I now consider myself acclimated" to the unhealthy climate though "I am not without apprehensions for my health."<br /> <br /> Phelps then offers a hint about why he would be willing seventeen years later to join the Gold Rush to California. He had found "the advantages of traveling.much greater than I had anticipated" having "corrected" some of his opinions and prejudices and "given me a better acquaintance with all the intricacies and varieties of the human character. I have spent some time in Mexico.a beautiful and interesting country" which he liked "much better than Louisiana" where the government left over from Spanish colonial days persisted in "sheltering despotism."<br /> <br /> Despite an abiding interest in the life of Abner Phelps by Judge William Newson - father of the current Governor of California - still little is known about this pioneering New Orleans and San Francisco lawyer. Several Phelps diaries are held by Tulane University but they do not begin until 1837 after he was settled in New Orleans as a lawyer and became known as a somewhat controversial politician. Interestingly the Phelps House in San Francisco was supposedly built first in New Orleans and then moved to the West Coast in pieces because Phelps's wife was homesick for Louisiana; this story is perhaps apocryphal but certainly fits the romantic nature of Phelps's far-flung life. The present letter appears to be the earliest known Phelps epistle written at the tender age of twenty-seven. . June 30 unknown
1804WRCAM56593Philadelphia 1804. 1p. autograph letter signed on a folio sheet with address panel and docketing on verso. Remains of wax seal. Old folds with small separations starting a most folds no loss of text one-inch seal tear to left margin no text affected else very good. A friendly and informative letter from Philadelphia merchant Lewis Cist to his brother Jacob Cist prominent naturalist and coal entrepreneur. In between updates on various investments he and his brother are involved in with an individual named Ritter and money he owes Jacob Lewis recounts: "We have just been watching a procession in commemoration of the acquisition of Louisiana. All of our volunteers infantry foot horse artillery the governor followed by the councils the Cincinnati the Incorporated Cordwainers with an 8 gallon shoe & flags with the names of the states.obscured.&c. It made a very good appearance & lasted from the beginning to end abt. 3/4 hours." Popular opinion on the Louisiana Purchase was mixed and so the government was keen to promote the country's profound expansion along with great potential of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's Corps of Discovery Expedition which launched from Camp Dubois just two days after the date on this letter. <br> <br> Jacob Cist 1783-1823 was born in Philadelphia son of printer Charles Cist. A man of varied interests and activities Jacob starting by working in his father's printing establishment which was then the official government printer for John Adams' administration. In 1800 as the capital moved from Philadelphia to Washington his father opened a new printing house in Washington D.C. and Jacob became manager as well as acquiring a clerkship in the U.S. Post Office. From there he was appointed the first postmaster of Wilkes-Barre in 1808 as well as co-founding the Wilkes-Barre Bridge Company and Luzerne County Agricultural Society and serving as Luzerne County treasurer. The Cist family was already involved in coal and he inherited shares in the Lehigh Coal Mine Company. In time he became a leading advocate for the commercial production of anthracite coal as well as inventing and patenting an anthracite heating stove since anthracite was difficult to ignite in existing stoves. This was helped in part by coal shortages during the War of 1812 as British blockades prevented the shipment of Virginia bituminous coal to Philadelphia. Jacob was also a avid naturalist and geologist. As an early contributor to the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND ARTS the longest-running scientific journal in the U.S. he began a correspondence with Adolphe Brongniart an important French paleontologist. Jacob's letters pamphlets maps specimens drawings and watercolors both promoted his commercial coal-mining interests and helped establish correlations between American and European coal deposits through their fossils. Jacob's papers are now at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. <br> <br> Lewis Cist d.1806 was a merchant and investor and may have gone on to equally diverse and distinguished achievement had he not died suddenly in 1806 on a voyage back to Philadelphia. Probate records note that he had not created a will; existing paperwork on the settlement of his estate was administered by Jacob Ritter possibly the same Ritter mentioned in this letter and signed by his mother Mary.

192041169Washington D.C.: Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 1920. Large folding nautical chart printed on heavy paper stock. Colored. A rare original coastal survey of the Barataria Bay area and includes Grand Isle Grand Terre Island and the Mississippi River.<br/> <br/> Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast. These nautical survey maps commonly referred to as "T-sheets" provide fascinating insights into the history of the United States coastline which has and will continue to shift. These maps are the most important data source for understanding the physical and ecological characteristics of the U.S. shoreline. The present map of the Louisiana coastline is notable for the inclusion of Grand Isle the only inhabited barrier isle of Louisiana and of Barataria Bay which used to be frequented by pirates including Privateer Jean Lafitte. It is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the Barataria Bay and an important historical view of the developing Louisiana. Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey unknown
