190099653<p>Panama circa early 1900s. 1900s. Good. - Fourteen original silver print photographs of the Canal Zone each measuring 3-1/4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. The images include scenes of workers on and debarking from ships people strolling along village or town streets with horse drawn carriages what is likely an official residence and 5 images of construction work on what would later become the Panama Canal. One of the photos depicting construction work is a duplicate. The photographs are slightly curled with creases to the corners of a very few photos and minor chips to the edges of 4 of these. Very good.</p> [Panama], circa early [1900s].
1904375175Panama 1904. 9 vols. Fine. 9 vols. Through the 1903 separation of Panama from Colombia and the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty the United States had secured rights to build a canal in the Isthmus of Panama. Legislation authorizing construction did not specify which government department would be responsible and Roosevelt designated the Department of War. Taft journeyed to Panama in 1904 viewing the canal site and meeting with Panamanian officials. The Isthmian Canal Commission had trouble keeping a chief engineer and when in February 1907 John F. Stevens submitted his resignation Taft recommended an army engineer George W. Goethals. Under Goethals the project moved ahead smoothl. unknown
2753ALS. 3pg. 8 x 10. July 20 1913. Balboa. An autograph letter signed James to his mother. James was working on the Panama Canal: We are having real nice weather here in Balboa. I got up rather early this morning and it is now 6:30 A.M. and the thermometer is just 76 so that it is really comfortable as you can imagine. Some of the boys that are new-comers here want me to go across the canal to a native village with them as I talk Spanish and they thought I could guide them a little better as I know the culture and language of the natives. One man is sort of a horticulturist and agriculturist from one of the western states just came here to work on the docks & terminals and he is very much interested in plant and jungle life here. I have told him about none of thethat I have found along rivers and in swamps and he is so much interested in finding some himself but they are a little hard to find that is you usually find them when you least expect to run into themthere is such little duty into Panama really if anywe had a shake up in organization and fortunately I came out with the survivors and have a real nice job. Am still on the permanent town site works and terminals and like that work so much. The letter has the usual mailing folds but is in very fine condition otherwise. unknown

18235754Panama: Jose Maria Goytia 1823. Very good plus. Broadsheet handbill 8.5 x 6 inches. Minor creasing. Faint dampstaining at right edge. An extremely rare statement by Spanish general Melchor Aymerich following his final defeat in Ecuador by Antonio José Sucre and subsequent flight to Panama in 1822. Aymerich the "Mariscal de Campo de los Ejercitos Españoles" and "Jeneral en Jefe de las Armas Españolas" states that he and his family traveled lodged and ate at their own expense following his defeat at Pichincha by Sucre and subsequent capitulation. No money or provision of any kind was provided to them by the Republic of Gran Colombia. He continues to declare that they traveled from Quito to Guayaquil and thence to Panama and would soon be departing for Havana. While in Panama he was the guest of the Commandant of the Isthmus Colonel José Maria Carreno and he thanks the Colonel and his family for their generosity and assistance. Although the caption title of this broadsheet states that it is an "Addicion" to a lengthier "Manifiesto" this prior work does not seem to have survived.<br /> <br /> The present handbill is a very early Panamanian imprint. There is no evidence of there having been printing in Panama during its colonial period and exactly when the first press was introduced there is unclear. OCLC locates a single copy of a call for independence in New Spain published by the present printer José Maria Goytia in 1821 and vanishingly few issues of two newspapers established in 1822. Medina traces an 1822 sermon as printed in Panama and we locate a smattering of other imprints from this period including the present handbill of which OCLC notes a single copy at the John Carter Brown Library; we know of one other at the New York Public Library.
