183958894Avoyelles Parrish LA printed in Alexandria or Opelousas LA: The author 1839. Printed broadside 15 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches the single headline printed in a large display type half inch tall. Bennett B. Simmes a native of Maryland and one of the wealthiest men in the state of Louisiana before the Civil War being informed that a printed statement "the object of which is the vituperation and abuse of the undersigned" was circulating in New Orleans occasioning Simmes to deliver a caning to its author New Orleans physician W.T. Brent on their next meeting expecting Brent to demand satisfaction; as described here the challenge came and a place and time was agreed upon for a meeting but Brent did not appear. Simmes proceeded to ridicule Brent for his cowardice and after some months Brent left the area; included with the statements from Simmes are supporting letters from his seconds and others familiar with the proceedings. Simmes was the founder of Simmesport Louisiana in Avoyelles Parish and served a number of terms in the state senate chairing a committee deliberating on the status of wetlands in the late 1850s; Brent was serving as secretary to the Lafayette Louisiana Board of Health by 1848.

"Duelling was a social practice common in various sections of the United States for a century prior to 1870 . it lost favor in the North after the Revolution but spread in the ante-bellum South motivated by a growing planter class French and Spanish influences and an individualism which soon developed a high code of honor . duels were waged over differences of opinion real or fancied wrongs or insults. Arrangements usually were carried out with respect to the code whether it was the English the South Carolina or the New Orleans covenant . the practice embraced all classes . among the famous duelling grounds were 'Duelling Oaks' New Orleans reports indicate that as many as ten duels were held 'under the oaks' on one Sunday in 1839 . most of the states of the young republic eventually decreed a challenge a breech of peace . in the latter part of the 19th century public opinion and ridicule brought an end to a deadly and senseless custom" Encyclopedia of American History. <br/><br/> The author unknown books

182788857New Orleans: A.T. Penniman & Co 1827-29. First Edition. First printing. Two octavo volumes. Early straight-grained morocco over marbled boards; gilt spine-titles; pp. lxxxiii 364; iii--xv 429pp. Half-titles present. Rubbing to board edges and spine ends with heavier rubbing at crowns and board corners; foxing generally mild more conspicuous but not obtrusive to a few gatherings in each volume. A well-preserved example in an attractive early binding Very Good. With ownership signature to both volumes of John T. Ludeling see note. <br /> <br /> A desirable copy of this early keystone work of Louisiana history. Author François-Xavier Martin 1762-1846 born in France emigrated to North Carolina around 1783 establishing himself first as a printer and then after reading law as a legal scholar and jurist. He entered politics in 1806 and in 1809 was appointed to be the first Attorney General of the newly-acquired Territory of Orleans. As an eye witness to and active protagonist in the legal establishment of the state of Louisiana in 1812 Martin was in a unique position to pen the current history. Though the work was never a popular success - possibly due to Martin's stilted legalistic style which resulted in a work described by his contemporary Charles Gayarré as "lifeless as the minutes and records of proceedings in a court of justice" - subsequent historians have praised the History as for example ".one of the best examinations of the judicial structure from the colonial period to the early nineteenth century. Martin's History of Louisiana has withstood the test of time becoming not only a useful secondary source but also an important primary document." see Mark F. Fernandez From Chaos to Continuity : The Evolution of Louisiana's Judicial System 1712-1862. Baton Rouge: 2001.<br /> <br /> In addition to serving as Louisiana's first Attorney General Martin served for a decade 1836-46 as Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court a fact that lends special interest to this copy of the History which bears the ownership markings of John Theodore Ludeling 1827-1891. Ludeling a prominent Louisiana-born lawyer and jurist just one generation removed from Martin would serve as the Court's Chief Justice from 1868-1877 - and no doubt would have approached the current work with special interest as both a primer on the State's early legal history as well as the product of a distinguished direct predecessor. A notable and well-preserved copy of an uncommon work. SABIN 44871. HOWES M-332. A.T. Penniman & Co unknown

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

Good. <p>First edition.<p>The MexicanAmerican War Apr 25 1846 Feb 2 1848 known in Mexico as the Intervención estadounidense en México was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico that followed the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas which Mexico considered Mexican territory. Morse expounds in favor of the war: "If this war was what you say it is and waged wantonly sinfully by the President from mere personal vanity or a petty ambition for the sake of letting the world know who James K. Polk was - if for an end like this all the seas of blood and millions and millions of its treasure lavished all in violation of the constitution - if you make good this charge then has the President of the United States been guilty not of moral merely but of actual treason and that of the deepest dye; not through ignorance but with malice aforethought. If all this be true then has he damned himself indeed to a depth of infamy where the hand of resurrection can never reach him. If you can persuade the widow and orphans of the murdered Cross the gallant Watson the chivalric Ridgely and all the friends and relatives of the noble Ringgold and the other gallant spirits whose lives have been given as a bloody sacrifice to their country's honor that all this was done to glorify this administration and prove who James K. Polk was then sir is your Chief Magistrate guilty of 'conduct so basely mean in a public character that it is without precedent or pretence; an incendiary war upon society that nothing can excuse or palliate emanating from a refinement of beggarly villany made up between the venomous malignity of a serpent and the spiteful imbecility of an inferior reptile.'"<p>Isaac Edward Morse 1809-1866 was a Democratic politician from Louisiana who served in the House of Representatives from 1844-1851. He served as Louisiana's Attorney General from 1854-1856. President Franklin Pierce appointed him in 1856 to be a special commissioner to New Granada to negotiate safe passage of Americans across the Isthmus of Panama.<p>John Henry Bufford 1810-1870 was a Boston lithographer who often created his portraits after daguerreotypes. Among the artists he employed was Winslow Homer. Washington: Ritchie and Heiss, printers, 1846. paperback
