‎EARLY WORK ON MISSOURI & MINING IN THE WEST. Message of the President of the United States to Both Houses of Congress. 8th November 1804. Read and Ordered to be Referred to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union‎

‎Washington DC: Printed by William Duane & Son 1804. First Edition. Very good. 8vo. 213 x 135 mm. 2 1-8 11-13 1 3-22 pp. 1 blank f. pagination irregular but the text is complete. Modern sympathetic wrappers. Sig. A with pronounced foxing considerably less so in sigs. B and C. Stab holes in gutter margin; first eight pages with contemporary ink notations shaved some still readable unimportant ink stain on final blank. With ink signature of Connecticut Congressman Samuel W. Dana on title page as well as Eberstadt pricing notes $50 in 1929 and codes in pencil on title and final blank. Overall a crisp copy with an interesting provenance. Moses Austin's report on the lead mines in Missouri is one of the earliest selections in Becker's fourth edition of Wagner-Camp's Plains & Rockies: no. 2d ! -- Our copy was owned by Congressman Samuel W. Dana 1760-1830 who was almost certainly in attendance when Jefferson read THIS State of the Union Address "to Both Houses of the Congress." Dana's annotations appear on the first seven pages of the text. <br/><br/>Moses Austin's report on mining in Missouri appears as the third item in the present volume. Howes calls it the "First United States' book on Missouri" even though it was never separately issued. The bespoke report is likely the first publication concerning mining west of the Mississippi River. It certainly precedes Henry R. Schoolcraft's 1819 "A View of the Lead Mines of Missouri" sometimes considered the first book on the subject of Western mines. Austin reported to Jefferson that area he was then mining would be a choice acquisition for the United States. Austin utilized ingenious mining techniques of his own creation and became extremely successful. However in the end he had to declare bankruptcy a setback which caused him to turn to Texas for a land grant. Thus in one of the odd twists of history a failed mining venture in Missouri eventually led to the Republic and State of Texas a cause that was of course championed successfully by his son: Stephen F. Austin.<br/><br/>The other two documents in Jefferson's State of the Union message are of interest: the first expresses Spain's abandonment of opposition to the Louisiana Purchase -- a welcome development. The second is a proclamation by the President establishing a Customs District and Port of Entry at Mobile Alabama on the Gulf Coast. Other topics include the organization of the Louisiana Territory and measures taken against the Barbary pirates. Jefferson also reports that he is hoping to deal peacefully and productively with the area's Native Americans a policy that would be abandoned later in the century by other presidents.<br/><br/>PROVENANCE: Samuel W.

Amendment . . . 3pp. Washington D.C.: Government Printing Office 1853. 297 x 205 mm. Unbound. Some dampstaining edges a bit frayed but very good. Docketed.</p> <p> First Edition of this rare ether controversy document with no copies listed in OCLC. In January 1853 responding to renewed debate over who deserved credit for inventing ether anesthesia the U. S. Senate appointed a select committee to determine whether W. T. G. Morton Charles Jackson or Horace Wells had the best claim to the discovery. On February 19 Senator Isaac P. Walker the committee's chairman submitted an amendment to army appropriations bill H. R. 336 confirming the U. S. government's right to use and benefit from the discovery and proposing an award of $100000 to "the discoverer." The final version of the amendment which we are offering here also proposed that the issue of priority be decided in federal court with Morton Jackson and the representatives of Horace Wells appearing as defendants to prove the merits of their respective cases. The Senate ended up rejecting the amendment leaving the question of priority unsettled for the time. Wolfe Tarnished Idol pp. 316-17; 330-335. </p> . unknown books‎
