In 1884 the railroad reached Broken Bow and the town was incorporated. This pamphlet opens with an account of how to get to Broken Bow via the Burlington Route on the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Excerpted from the Chicago Western Rural of July 24th 1886 and Chicago Times of June 5th 1886 are overviews of the "thriving little metropolis"-"a growing center of Western thrift and enterprise." Matters covered relating to Broken Bow and its vicinity include farming labor new towns soil shelter "Most of the settlers who have already located in this region have their homes in sod houses. How many have ever seen a sod house" education organized religion the climate and so forth. "The trader artizan banker speculator can find profit in operating there and should go and see." The last page gives ticket rates on the Burlington Route to Broken Bow. The map entitled Map of Nebraska shows towns counties military installations Native American reservations and the network of railways in the state with those of southeastern Nebraska highlighted in red.</p> Lincoln, Nebraska: Burlington Route, 1886.

19071873Southeastern Missouri 1907. About very good. Seventy-six silver gelatin photographs on twenty grey card leaves each image approximately 3.75 x 2.25 inches. Square grey cloth album string-tied. Light wear and soiling to covers. Contemporary ink inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and soiling to leaves heaviest on first three leaves. Leaves lightly warped. Two images excised. A charming vernacular photograph album depicting life along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the declining town of Gayoso Missouri. The caption on the front pastedown reads "These pictures made in the year of 1907 by Tom Pierce & Ed Cappoc at Goyaso Mo." Gayoso located on the banks of the Mississippi in the southeasternmost tip of the state was settled in 1799 and incorporated in 1851 as the county seat of Pemiscot County. By 1898 the movement of the river threatened to swamp the town and the county seat was moved to several miles south to Caruthersville. Though the river changed course and briefly spared Gayoso by 1900 its post office closed and today any remnants are buried deep in the silt of the Gayoso Bend Conservation Area. The present images show the town disappearing as the river eats away at large swathes of its surrounding land.<br/><br/>Several of the images depict flooding and high water -- trees standing in water men wading to cut lumber riverbank erosion and one image seems to show a collapsed pier. Other views show boats traveling up and down the Mississippi some ferrying lumber several large paddlewheelers and men poling lumber on rafts. One image shows a horse and buggy on what we presume to be the main street of Gayoso with a storefront visible behind the rig. Many of the images show the hardy folk who are still living in the remains of the dying town -- a woman and child in front of a clapboard house with a rotting porch and crumbling roof; a group of boys and three dogs all laughing in front of a building that may be the schoolhouse; one man apparently giving a haircut to his friend seated in front of some steps high water visible amongst the trees in the background; and several images which show men and boys logging and lumbering some of them standing in waist-high water while they fell doomed stands of trees. The album captures a slice of life on the Mississippi River at the turn of the century with all its attendant hardships commercial opportunities and dangers. unknown books

18871661London 1887. Very good plus. Three printed documents varying sizes 14pp. total. Light wear along folds. Light tanning. One document in a red cloth folding case. An interesting group of three printed documents concerning the Powder River Cattle Company in Wyoming. The manager of the company Morton Frewen was the scion of Anglo-English gentry and came to the Wyoming Territory in 1878 to seek his fortune establishing one of the larger cattle concerns on the Northern Great Plains in what is now northeastern Wyoming with additional holdings in Alberta. In 1882 the company was reorganized as the joint-stock Powder River Cattle Company Ltd. with an English board of directors and investors. Frewen served as manager until 1886 when controversy ensued with charges of false statements of losses due to overstocked pastures and harsh winter. The present group includes Frewen's report to the first annual meeting of the company as well a defense in an 1886 lawsuit between Frewen and the directors of Powder River and an 1887 profit-and-loss statement composed by the company's liquidator. In full they are as follows: <br /><br />1 The Powder River Cattle Company Limited Report of the General Manager. at the first Annual General Meeting Held February 26th 1884. London: 1884. 4pp. <br /><br />2 In the High Court of Justice. Between Morton Frewen. Plaintiff and The Powder River Cattle Company Limited. Defendants.

170532355à Amsterdam: Chez Estienne Rogier 1705. Fine. Chez Estienne Rogier à Amsterdam 1705 8 x 15 cm relié Second edition rare after the first edition published in 1698 by Barbin. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Head worn. Rubbing. Foxing. The work belongs to no defined genre; in a very free manner a Siamese tells anecdotes which he mixes with maxims on various subjects: The palace the court the public the Bois de Boulogne the opera. These satirical considerations of Parisian society pell-mell do not possess a continuous narrative; the work would pave the way for Montesquieu's Persian Letters. It is one of its principal sources.

Clean faint marginal brownspots. <br/><br/><em>The contemt of this volume which is volume II of Gerhard F. Müller's. "Voyages et Découvertes faites par les Russes le long des Côtes de la Mer glaciale & sur l'Océan oriental. is wholly devoted to the description of the Amur River and its borderlines as extracted and translated from Nicolaus Witsen's work "Sur la Tartarie Septentrionale & Orientale" Noord en Oost Tartarye Ofte Bondig Ontwerp Van eenig dier Landen en Volken. Amsterdam 1692."In the nineteenth century Russian historians and ethnographers discovered that Witsen had used many Russian sources that had since been lost and they praised Noord en Oost Tartarye ‘as the most remarkable book about Asiatic Russia ever written by a foreigner.’ During the Soviet period Witsen was seen as scholar who had ‘opened up a new era in the study of Siberia.’ Nowadays he is respectfully mentioned on many local Russian websites as the first to have reported on their town province nationality or language."huygens.knaw.n. </em> unknown
