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

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
