187166Boston; Nov. 1 1871. 1871 9 pp. folio. This indenture was made the first day of November 1871 between the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company and Oliver Ames and Charles F. Choate. The Atlantic and Pacific was to be built from Missouri and Arkansas to the Pacific Coast. From the very beginning the Atlantic and Pacific was plagued with problems even though they had the same rights as other transcontinental railroads regarding bonds land grants etc. Ames and Choate noted bankers of railroads and other various schemes were to loan to the railroad in gold coin. The amount is left blank in this document and the document is not signed by the parties. They were to be repaid in gold coin with an annual interest rate of 6%. In addition to the indenture listed above another indenture was made with George Bigeldow and James Dixwell. 2 pp. with manuscript corrections and additions. Including a provision to enable the Atlantic and Pacific to mortgage the road. This document was written earlier and does not have nearly as many provisions as in the Ames and Choate indenture. Four years later the Atlantic and Pacific would lapse into receivership. Oliver Ames then the largest stockholder purchased 96697 acres of the road's Missouri lands. After reorganization the A & P had some life until the panic of 1893 and the spoils were then divided between the Santa Fe and Frisco. These two documents are important in understanding the financial development of this railroad. Atlantic and Pacific material is quite scarce. Oliver Ames was the brother of Oakes. This railroad was to have been a very important development for Arkansas and Missouri. These documents are housed in a very attractive folding box 9 x 7 3/4 inches with green cloth-covered boards and a green morocco spine label with gilt lettering. 3214013 OG2080. 1st Edition.

Title: The Tedi River District of Papua. Author: Leo Austen Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1923. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: As early as six years prior to Charles Karius and Ivan Champion launching their famous 1926 expedition to cross New Guinea from the Fly to the Sepik, Australian army officer Leo Austen who would soon after become an anthropologist, led several pioneering patrols into the area. In 1922 he was placed in charge of an expedition to explore the country surrounding the Alice River [now known as the Ok Tedi River]. His party included one other officer, a Malay interpreter, twelve armed Papuan natives, and thirty-five Papuan carriers. As he notes the river's navigability and other important geographical features, he also observes various people groups settled along the banks and slightly inland. The Yonggom people and their customs are described at length. Piercing and tattooing, specific superstitions, confessions of cannibalism, fire making practices, cooking on hot stones, plaited fibre and sago leaf skirts for loin cloths, raised dwellings made of dirt and sago leafs with woven rattan doorways and constructed on posts or stilts, principal food staples, the use of long bamboo sticks for preserving water, and European influenced tobacco smoking, are some of the topics discussed in an unbiased manner. Both informative and engaging, Austen's firsthand account of a survey of the Ok Tedi District, formerly known as Alice River, describes a natural paradise, as it was in its virgin, undamaged state, three decades before Kennecott discovered the fabulous copper and gold deposit at Mount Fubilan near the headwaters of the Ok Tedi. He also visited several villages at the foot of the Star Mountains. 8vo. 15 pages, plus a full page sketch map for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Leo Austen (1894-1956) was born Leopold Novak Augstein in Brisbane. He was working as a clerk when World War I began and immediately enlisted. He landed with the first troops at Gallipoli and served in France where he was wounded. He returned to Australia in 1918 as a lieutenant and, with his brothers, changed his Austrian surname to Austen to avoid the anti-German sentiment after the war. On 3 April 1919 he joined Hubert Murray’s Papuan Service as a temporary Patrol Officer based at Daru in the lonely Western Division. He went on to lead many great patrols, there and elsewhere. In 1926 a Chair of Anthropology had been set up at the University of Sydney, partly to train Cadet Patrol Officers of the then separate New Guinea Department of District Services. Hubert Murray allowed some of his officers, including Leo, to attend the lectures. Leo eventually obtained qualifications as an anthropologist and began a parallel career producing many learned monographs and a book on Papua. The 1930s saw a massive upheaval of traditional societies in Papua due to increased European influence. Leo sought to restore and maintain the traditional cohesion of those societies, and was particularly successful in encouraging the revival of the paramount luluais in his favourite haunts in the Trobriand Islands. Leo became part of the Australian New Guinea Administrative Unit (ANGAU) during World War II and attended the major ANGAU conference in February 1944. Towards the end of the war he was the presiding magistrate at the trial of a number of local people accused of collaborating with the Japanese. Later he Leo obtained a position with Aboriginal Welfare in Casino New South Wales, and continued to advocate for aboriginal rights, in various ways, until his final days.
