The Fair's President was the merchant I.N. Marks. "As indicated by his name ISAAC N. MARKS is of Hebrew descent and is a distinguished representative of his highly favored race but contrary to the usual customs of that people he has adopted the Christian faith. This change in his creed is due to the independent manner of thought which has characterized him from his boyhood and has ever made him master of his personality in the domain of both his sentiments and business. Mr. Marks is a native of South Carolina having been born at Charleston on the 5th of May 1817. At the age of nineteen he came to New Orleans and linked his career with that of his adopted city then lacking much of the greatness and grandeur which to-day places her a queen among cities" online 'Genealogy Trails History Group Orleans Parish <br/> The pamphlet records Louisiana's first Fair after the War's end in late November 1866. An essay explains its establishment and inauguration in late November 1866. "The mellow light of an Indian Summer's sun shone down." The various exhibits are listed followed by Marks's Address lamenting the "long and disastrous war leaving in its desolated path ruin upon every side; agriculture paralyzed; commerce languishing; a well-regulated labor system grown venerable in its usefulness and its humane tendencies suddenly and violently destroyed."

Light wear Very Good. <br/> offered with SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.RELATIVE TO THE MEANS BY WHICH THE MAIL MAY BE CONVEYED WITH GREATER DISPATCH THAN AT PRESENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON & NATCHEZ AND NEW ORLEANS.12TH JANUARY 1804. READ AND REFERRED TO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE ON MONDAY NEXT. 1804. 4pp later stitching light wear. Very Good. <br/><br/> "The late cession of Louisiana by France to the United States renders it an object of primary importance to have the nearest and most expeditious mode of communication established between the city of Washington and the city of New Orleans the capitol of that province." The Committee thus urges a post road from Washington "to pass through or near the Tuckabachee settlement to the Tombigby settlement in the Mississippi territory and from thence to New Orleans. And further that a post road ought also to be established from the said Tombigby settlement to Natchez." Recognizing however that the route includes "a distance of nearly four hundred miles wholly uninhabited by citizens of the United States" in the Mississippi Territory the Committee adds that the precise route cannot be determined "until this unimproved territory has been explored." <br/>FIRST EDITIONS.

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.

186841040New Orleans LA: A.L. Lee State Printer 1868. 68pp. Stitched without wrappers. Old rubberstamp of Union League Club New York. A few shallow blank extremity chips. Good. <br /> <br /> During the election year 1868 "White gangs roamed New Orleans intimidating blacks and breaking up Republican meetings" Foner Reconstruction 342. Other Parishes experienced the same story; in St. Landry a mob "invaded the plantations killing as many as 200 blacks.Unable to hold meetings and fearful that attempts to bring out their vote would only result in further massacres Georgia and Louisiana Republicans abandoned the Presidential campaign" Id. <br /> The Republican Party controlled Louisiana's General Assembly. Its Report is a frightening picture of violent resistance to Reconstruction describing "a state of lawlessness terrorism and crime that is unparalleled in any civilized country." Not only are the "desperate and infamous characters" who directly perpetrate the violence responsible; blameworthy also is "that large and respectable class of the people of the State. . . who refrain studiously from any efforts to restrain or bring them to justice." The Report is a detailed Parish-by-Parish examination of atrocities. <br /> FIRST EDITION. Thompson 1226. A.L. Lee, State Printer unknown
