1842LL 513<p><strong>El Museo de ambas Américas.</strong></p><p>Polished black morocco paneled in blind spine titled and decorated in gilt. Subscribers' lists in volumes 1 & 3. Provenance: Bookplate of Jose Maria Andrade 1807-1883 the famous Mexican bibliophile and publisher. FIRST EDITION AND A COMPLETE RUN of all 36 issues of this very early and important Chilean periodical. The year 1842 marked a "before" and an "after" in the intellectual development of Chile. Along with the creation of the University of Chile one of the most significant milestones of that year was the crystallization of a literary movement that would end up acquiring a foundational character not only in regard to Creole intellectual output but also to link it with political discourse. At the head of this project were José Victorino Lastarria and Francisco Bilbao among other thinkers who sought to infuse society with the revolutionary ideals of freedom equality and fraternity using above all the periodical press. The cultural activity in the crucial year 1842 was matched in by appearance of three publications that would mark the course of the intellectual movement: Revista de Valparaíso El Semanario de Santiago and El Museo de ambas Américas The Museum of both Americas. This triad reflects the fundamental role that the port of Valparaíso played as the transfer point for European ideas which then radiated to the capital. El Museo de ambas Américas shows the state of the social political and economic views of the Chilean intellectual culture of the period. Its cosmopolitan spirit is evident in the declaration of principles of the magazine and is also reflected in the themes developed there. Edited by the Colombian Juan García del Río the publication played a central role in the controversy between Chileans and Argentines and in the creation of the intellectual movement that would reach its consolidation with the Revista de Santiago. The magazine contains numerous articles on the continental spirit and on the idea of America forged since Discovery and Conquest. It also highlights the concerns about education which for those years was a central issue in the discussions of the intellectual movement as well as public hygiene policies and their link with the development of the Republic. The reflection on history and culture became more and more intense as the century progressed and El Museo de ambas Américas reflects this concern. The erudite character of the magazine is shown in its "Efemérides" and its "News and curious facts". Scarce. We could locate only one at auction in the last 50 years. Sabin 51564. Palau 186430.

18450002564Good. 1845. On offer is a sensational remarkable group of 1845 manuscript depositions detailing the mutinous activity and desertions during a voyage of the whaling Bark Alto between 1844 - 1845. The eyewitness testimonies are comprised of 37 pages or so of handwritten fair copies; five 5 complete and one 1 incomplete deposition all by various crew members the five complete copies each personally attested and signed at the conclusion by George William Gordon American Consul at Rio de Janeiro May 20 1845. Blunt facts display the ferocity of emotions and simmering violence provide snippets like 'Palmer said to deponent that . . . he would put one of those dirk knives into him' abound throughout the testimonies. The depositions paint a picture of unbridled upset on the ship: lawlessless violence suspicions of poisoning desertion and a final critical comment from nature itself: a calamitous lightning strike makes for a final exclamation point to the awful whaling voyage. The vessel at the center of the events described herein the Alto was built in Tiverton Rhode Island we note that research indicates the Alto was in fact the only such vessel ever built at Tiverton in 1826 and was lost near the Falkland Islands in 1870. The National Maritime Digital Library date the events related in the documents occurred during the Alto's fourth voyage under the direction of Captain Nehemiah West whose deposition is included and which lasted from September 1844 to April 1847. A successful voyage commercially as the records further note that the Alto collected 339 barrels of sperm oil 304 barrels of baleen oil and 2700 lbs. of whale bone. As a group the depositions--from the Captain First Second and Third Mates and two boat helmsmen paint a vivid often harrowing picture of a voyage fraught with tension and danger. Researchers and historians will note that at least two of the depositions document an ominous shipboard discussion of the earlier well-documented mutiny aboard the vessel Globe out of Nantucket which took place in 1827. While the general outline of the events remains consistent throughout each of the deponents provides a unique personal perspective on what transpired often with the addition of unexpected or surprising details omitted by the others. Virtually all of the crew involved are identified by name multiple times throughout the documents two however are repeatedly described only as "Portuguese". In broad overview complaints from crew members that the vessel is leaky and unseaworthy leads to refusal to perform duties; the captain administers punishment including placing crew members in irons and striking them with a piece of "rattling" ratline; a small group of crew desert with one of the boats but are caught and jailed at St. Jago Cape Verde and shipped back to the U.S. on the U.S. Sloop of War Decatur; after a few months of relative calm unrest breaks out again this time with threats of violence to fellow crew members with clubs and "dirk knives"; in the most dramatic event eleven crew members desert with the remaining two boats taking with them a large store of the whaling equipment. The Alto its crew and equipment drastically reduced suffers the final indignity of a lightning strike "breaking and splitting" the mainmast but is able to hobble into Rio de Janeiro where these eyewitness accounts were given to the American Consul and preserved in the present documents. Here is a snippet from the deposition of helmsman William Williams approx. 8 pages on two pairs of conjugate leaves: "William Williams . . . deposed as follows. . . . That he was born in the County of Essex in England is 29 years of age and a naturalized citizen of the United States was naturalized at Boston Mass. in July 1842. That he shipped on board the Barque 'Alto'--Nehemiah West Master at New Bedford in August 1844 as Boat steerer to proceed on a Whaling Voyage. That the Vessel sailed on the 3rd September following. That 14 or 15 days after the Vessel went out to sea all the foremost hands refused duty--alleging that the Vessel was leaky. On their refusing duty Captain West interrogated each of them separately and three of them returned to duty and eleven still refused and were sent below where they were kept about 48 hours. While the eleven men were below as aforesaid they experienced two very heavy squalls but none of said men offered to return to duty--but on the other hand made sport of them that were at work. After they had been below deck 24 hours the Master went forward and requested four of the men to come on deck. They refused to come unless all were allowed to some on deck at a time--and after a good many threats on the part of the men the Master told them that if the men he had called did not come on deck that he would have the forecastle smoked to force them out. Soon after four came on deck as the Master had directed and still refusing to go to duty on being called upon the deck and refusing duty were put in Irons and the others one being called upon deck and refusing duty were seized in the rigging there being no Irons to put upon them. That at New Bedford before sailing one of the men named Spencer who had shipped deserted and another man named Charles Shane came on board in his place--but Shane's name was not put on the Papers. That when the men were called up as aforesaid said Shane took the ground that his name was not upon the Shipping Paper and therefore he would not go to duty and obey the Master--upon which the Master gave him four blows with a piece of Rattling i.e. part of the ratline. George Ritter also who was supposed to be the instigator in the men's refusing duty and who was insolent to the Master also receive three strokes with the Rattling. Another man the steward named James Wilson also got three blows with the Rattling for insolence to the Captain. He said that he never was flogged on board of a Blubber Hunter although he had been on board of a Man of War. No others were flogged or punished in any way and they all returned to duty."

184836021Triana Alabama: n.p. 1848. Paper. Very good. Paper. Approximately 12.5" x 8." Folded. Front side is printed and hand written. Back side is a written receipt and written bill of lading for the cotton belonging to the Caleb Toney estate. Illustrated shipping letterhead from the Brewer Rowe & McKee that 85 bales of Cotton formerly owned by Caleb Toney were being shipped on "flat bottomed boats now lying on the Tennessee River whereof "Brewer Rowe & McKee owners and masters and bound for the port of New Orleans." At this time the best cotton land in the country was located along the Tennessee River from Whitesburg then known as Ditto’s Landing extending to a point three miles west of Triana. Madison County as we all know has led all counties in the State in cotton production practically without interruption since its creation in 1808. In 1816 it<br /> produced ten thousand bales for the market which according to The National Intelligencer was twice the production of any county of its size in the U.S. The big problem now facing the cotton merchants was transportation. With no railroads the only means of transportation was by navigation. As early as 1815 the leading businessmen of the county were making plans to meet the situation. Cotton had to reach the Tennessee River to be loaded on steamboats and transported to New Orleans via Paducah Kentucky down the Ohio River to Cairo and thence into the Mississippi for its ultimate destination.<br /> <br /> There is one family in particular that Judge Taylor refers to in his history the Toney Family. There were three brothers Harris Caleb and Edmund. They came into Madison County in 1818 and were among the first to buy land in the Triana vicinity. These three brothers were men of considerable means as judged by the standards of<br /> that time and quickly identified themselves with the development of Triana. Harris Toney was the eldest and the leader. He first engaged in the merchandising and cotton business later investing his ample means in farm lands and Negroes. He was far in advance of his time in his methods of farm development and was laying plans so extensive they would have overshadowed all other agricultural enterprises of his time but unfortunately he did not live long enough to see the fruition of his undertaking. He died according to Judge Taylor’s history in the prime of his manhood. Don’t know just when that was. He evidently was never married as his lands and properties were inherited by a Mrs. Coons and Mrs. Barclay. The next oldest brother Caleb died at an early age. <br /> <br /> The youngest of the three Col. Edmund Toney was one of the best businessmen of his day possessing excellent judgment and sound business sense. It was said of him that in his whole life he never was known to make a financial blunder. While the war stripped him of slaves and his land ran to waste yet at the close of the war he<br /> was out of debt and able to embark in the General Merchandising business in Triana. He died in 1877 at age 77 and is buried in Maple Hill Cemetery.<br /> <br /> Excerpts taken from Highlights in the History of Triana by Charles Dillard Lyle printed in The Huntsville Historic Quarterly June 21 1997. n.p. unknown

Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon steamship builder industrialist entrepreneur and co-owner/operator of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. First edition of this scarce speech delivered by J.H.D. Gray 1839-1902 who was the first Euro-American “White†male child born west of the Rocky Mountains after his pioneer father William Henry Gray 1810-1889 came West with Dr. Marcus Whitman in 1836. This speech was one of the earliest proposals to construct a “large iron gastron†dam immediately above the Dalles filled with heavy timbers to back up enough water so that the treacherous Celilo Falls could be deepened and enable continuous navigation on the Columbia River. Largely due to financing political will and the Herculean engineering obstacles this dream would not reach fruition until March 10 1957 when the floodgates of The Dalles Dam were opened 70 years later. J.H.D. Gray first began working for his brother-in-law Jacob Kamm’s Oregon Steam & Navigation Co. in 1858 and ran sternwheelers from Celilo Falls to Lewiston ID to the Owyhee Crossing and onto the Snake River. After losing his hand he began operating the sternwheeler U.S. Grant between Astoria and Ilwaco and in 1886 was elected to the Oregon State Senate. No copies in Worldcat. n.p.], paperback

1900177661900. Early African American PHOTOGRAPHY -- RELIGION. silver gelatin photograph of a river baptism featuring a large group of African American subjects. Mississippi ca early 1900s. Photograph size is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Original silver gelatin photograph on cardstock mount .A young African American man wearing a hat and suit stands with his back to the camera we see in the foreground on the riverbank a group of African American subjects in light clothing close to the water's edge. A large ship is just visible beyond the dock in the background. Pencil inscription on verso reads "Miss- Colored Baptizing." 9Not: Historical records are evidence of the time in which they were created and often contain language are racist or derogatory and insensitive. This content does not reflect our values. These type of baptism on the banks of the Mississippi River were a public ceremony that attracted many converts in the South to the Delta region. Predominately African American Baptists performed their sacred ritual of outdoor baptisms on the Mississippi River until well into the 20th century in this Baptist-heavy state. Immersion baptisms typically took place in rivers or other natural bodies of water and summer and fall were the natural seasons for these congregational events. This rare photo captures a religious practice that has been integral to African-American Baptists for centuries. Photo has some toning surface soiling spotting and very small tear to right edge. But is still clear and in good to very good condition. unknown

18624410Paris 1862. Tinted lithograph 18 x 27 cms blank verso. From Vues de Londres by Charles Francois Riffardeau Duc de Riviere. An interesting technical feature of these views is the presence of tiny pinholes used to achieve correct register in overlaying the separate tints. These printers marks are usually to be found at the corners of the print but are here cleverly concealed in appropriate parts of the picture - on the bowsprit of a ship at the hub of a wheel the bullseye of a lantern or pierced through a childs balloon. The views themselves are lively and pleasing with bustling crowds in the foreground of each. Print unknown
