192041176Washington 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 southern Louisiana coast and includes Pecan Island Lower Mud Lake the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge and the Mementau 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 is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the southern Louisiana coast from Pecan Island to the Mementau River and an important historical view of the developing Louisiana.

19265509Shreveport: The Service Print Shop July 1926. Good. Broadside 12 x 6 inches. Old folds small chip to upper corner noticeable soiling and staining. An unrecorded broadside advertising a membership drive for the Damon Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the Universe in Shreveport Louisiana in the midst of the Roaring Twenties. The text asks "Do you want to join a Good Lodge" before asserting that this present membership drive is a unique opportunity: "The doors are opened for you that will never be opened again." The text then relays the price for membership $3.50 and then fifty cents per month and details some of the potential benefits of joining the Knights: "We Pay $3 Per Week Sick Benefit $50 Burial and a $300 Policy." The broadside is signed in type at the bottom by B.L. McElroy Grand Chancellor of the Damon Grand Lodge. Interestingly the Damon Lodge was located 10511/2 Texas Avenue in Shreveport; the present broadside was printed by the Service Print Shop on the same street at 1009 Texas Avenue. As such the print shop was most likely a Black-owned-and-operated enterprise. Another interesting note -- near the bottom several individuals are named as contacts for prospective new members mainly pastors and doctors; most of these men also reside or work on Texas Avenue. A decidedly ephemeral and hyper-local advertisement for a Shreveport lodge of the Knights of Pythias with no copies in OCLC or anywhere we could think to check. The Service Print Shop, July unknown

Full Title: VOYAGES DANS L'INTERIEUR DE LA LOUISIANE, de la Floride Occidentale, et dans les Isles de la Martinique et de Saint-Domingue, Pendant les annees 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805 et 1806 ; Contenant de Nouvelles Observations sur l'Histoire Naturelle, la Geographie, les Moeurs, l'Agriculture, le Commerce, l'Industrie et les Maladies de ces Contrees, particulierement sur la Fievre Jaune, et les Moyens de la prevenir. En outre, contenant ce qui s'est passe de plus interesssant, relativement a l'Etablissement des Anglo-Americains a la Louisiane. Suivis de la Flore Louisianaise. This the third volume deals mainly with Louisiana rather than the West Indies. It is especially important for its comments on natural history and "La Flore Louisianaise" later translated into English by C. S. Rafinesque and published in New York in 1817. In 1807, C. C. Robin published in French an account of his travels. Rafinesque was a controversial figure and his revision was not entirely satisfactory. He not only translated, but abridged and augmented Robin's flora quite extensively. The result being a systematic catalogue enumerating over 525 species. Rafinesque claimed 30 genera and 196 species as new to science. Plant taxonomists since then have had extreme difficulty in interpreting the status of these so-designated new taxa, because of the often cryptic descriptions Rafinesque provided and the fact that no specimens (or types) that Robin might have obtained are known to exist.
