<p>Offering this original piece of Americana <em>Report of the Select Committee of the Senate in Relation to the Proceedings of The Board of Commissioners on the Claims Against Mexico March 28 1854 - ordered to be printed. </em>Washington DC: Beverly Tucker Printer to the Senate 1854 1st edition.</p><p>Overall condition is Good. The once-purple cloth has become a greyish-black due to oxidation of the dye; there's a smallchip in the cloth on the back along the spine and a little bit of loss at the spine head. The cover is blindstamped with decorations and text. The spine once had gilt but only a faint amount remains. The inside pages are moderately foxed but still somewhat bright and completely legible easy to read. The edges are darkened. There are a couple of tree leaves left between pages creating tan shadows on these pages see the one picture. The pages are all intact and the binding remains strong and secure.</p><p>This report investigated a massive fraud within the Board of Commissioners created by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe. Historically referred to as the "Gardiner Claim" it involved two Gardiner brothers who concocted a false claim that Mexico had destroyed their profitable silver mines in Mexico which they never owned during the war in order to secure a payout. Mexico fell for the scheme and awarded the Gardners a lot of money. The mines were discovered to be a myth and so the investigations began in 1851 ultimately ending in convictions in 1854. An interesting and scarce artifact of American history!</p> Beverly Tucker, Printer to the Senate hardcover

Woodstock: Published by Authority 1857. Soft cover. Fair. 304 p. 23 cm. Brown paper covers. Some discolouration and dampstains. Ink inscription at top and stamp at bottom of front cover. Tear in upper front at spine. Ink inscription to top of title page. Tear in p. 5. Most pages dampstained but legibility not affected. <br/><br/>Main interest is likely the Report of the Select Committee of the Senate on Slavery and the Affairs of Kansas Submitted November 6 1857. Written by John Gregory Henry Walker and Orrin Bates the report takes the form of a diatribe against slavery slave-owners and the hypocrisy apparent in allowing the institution to continue. The reference to Kansas comes from the introduction of slavery in that territory. Settlers from Vermont were apparently being harassed and attacked by pro-slavery factions and the Vermont House of Representatives had asserted its rights to protect its citizens.
