(CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH). STEELE, JOHN
IN CAMP AND CABIN. MINING LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN CALIFORNIA DURING 1850 AND LATER
Lodi Wisconsin: J. Steele 1901. FIRST EDITION. 232 x 155 mm. 9 1/8 x 6". 81 pp. <br/> Original green faded to brown printed paper wrappers. Housed in a fine modern caramel-colored morocco clamshell box with gilt lettering on spine. Inside front wrapper with ink signature of M. R. Skinner; occasional pencil underlining in the text. Howes S-924; Graff 3964; Streeter 3027; Wagner-Camp 244 note. Top inch of spine chipped away a little fraying to edges first three leaves with overall browning minor corner creases but QUITE AN EXCELLENT COPY of a very fragile item clean and fresh internally with the insubstantial binding entirely intact against all odds.<br/> <br/> Based on the author's diaries written between September 1850 and July 1853 this work as the introduction tells us lays out events "just as they happened" being "ludicrous solemn serious tragic inexpressibly sad but always interesting." Kurutz calls the book a "detailed and important account of mining life" and notes that Steele "provided important information on mining techniques and laws while laboring in the Coloma District and on the Yuba and Feather rivers." This account includes some fascinating stories about the many hardships and dangers experienced by the author and his associates including nearly constant fatigue and hunger dreadful weather conditions and dicey encounters with desperados dishonest miners and disgruntled frontier men of commerce. John Steele 1832-1905 was only 18 years old when he left his home in Wisconsin for the gold fields of California. After three and a half years of adventuring he returned to the Midwest where he pursued a career in teaching. Steele also volunteered for the Union army during the Civil War and spent the last 30 years of his life as a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The present work was privately printed by the author in a small number of copies and is as expected quite rare on the market now. Besides the present one RBH lists just two other copies sold since 1981 and as of this writing no other dealer seems to be offering one. Furthermore our copy is a remarkably well-preserved survival with its delicate wrappers and text in condition as attractive as one could hope to find. J. Steele unknown

(CALIFORNIA INDIAN DEPREDATION CASES)
Justice Department Official Writes In 1894 About Ongoing Indian Depredation Cases
TLS. He served as a Mississippi state legislator and assistant attorney general under President Grover Cleveland. Later he was a judge on the United States Court of Claims. TLS. 2pp. 8" x 10". July 27 1894. Washington D.C. A typed letter signed "Charles B. Howry" on "Department of Justice" letterhead. It is addressed to "John A. Robinson" of San Francisco concerning Indian depredation cases: "Your communication of the 19th instant relating to the taking of testimony in the Indian depredation case of Spring & Hendry is at hand. There are requests on file in this office for the taking of testimony in several thousand cases and I have heretofore explained to you that the force of the office is too limited to meet these requests promptly. I beg to again state that I cannot name a time when proof can be taken in any case from California outside the preferred cases. The Spring & Hendy case is not a preferred case. The pending deficiency bill carries an item providing an appropriation for the investigation of judgments in the Indian depredation cases amounting to over four hundred and fifty thousand dollars which judgments were rendered before I took charge of this department. The necessary attention to investigate these judgments and dispose of the preferred cases will not admit of any proof being taken in either cases for some time. To your inquiry if I could not have U.S. Assistance Attorney Dodge take the testimony on behalf of the United States in Indian depredation cases I have to say that I can not. ". The letter has a flamboyant autograph and is in fine condition overall. An unusual California letter showing that not all the Native Americans had been subdued by the 1890s unknown

Chicago: Automobile Blue Book Publishing 1919 & 1921. Vol. 8; Tall octavo. 776 pp. including numerous inserts maps photographic illustrations. Complete. Publisher's flexible blue cloth with gilt cover lettering. Expertly rebacked retaining the original spine. Ver good.Vol. 9; Tall octavo. 848 pp. including numerous inserts maps photographic illustrations. Complete but for the folding map at the rear often missing as they were used. The map is reproduced in smaller segments on pp. 2-21. Publisher's flexible blue cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering. Some creases and general rubbing but a good complete copy.Between these two books the entire West Coast is covered. Between them they detail 1783 driving routes across the arid west. These are exhaustive and comprehensive guides to early car touring in California and the West. With such instructions as 'turn left after the wooden bridge" we can infer that car travel in 1920 was a difficult proposition at best. There is an illustrated chapter on Yosemite with a full page map and five pages of texts with illustrations. While "Official Automobile Blue Books" are not rare one usually finds the guides for New York or the Midwest with Vol. 8 California and Vol. 9 Oregon and Washington rarely appearing on the market. Chances are that these particular volumes were just generally used to oblivion as California has always been the most car-friendly state in the Union and the Pacific Northwest was by and large empty of people.

(California) Hoffman, Ogden, Jr (1822-1891)
Reports of Land Cases Determined in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. June Term 1853 to June Term 1858 Inclusive
San Francisco: Numa Hubert 1862. First edition. vii 1 9-458; 146 pp. 8vo. Bound in original sheep with black and red morocco labels loss at head of spine lower label chipped with loss worn at edges. Text toned dampstaining. First edition. vii 1 9-458; 146 pp. 8vo. A crucially important and quite uncommon report on land cases in the fifteen year period after the United States took control of California. One of the most contentious issues in California legal political and economic history in the period was over titles to lands granted by the Spanish and Mexican governments to the "Californios" those of Spanish or Mexican heritage who were born in or lived in California and American residents of California. Ogden Hoffman became the first Judge of the U.S. District Court for the northern district of California in 1851 at the young age of twenty-nine. His was the most significant judicial voice in the period on land title issues and he presided over many important cases including Jose Limantour's claim to the lands that made up San Francisco. In this volume Hoffman presents the reports of 110 important land cases and lists more than 800 other land claims in the appendix. "The consummate early source of information on land ownership in California from the Spanish and Mexican era" Kurutz in Volkmann catalogue. The text also includes biographical sketches of Spanish and Mexican governors from Portola to Pico.<br /> <br /> Thomas Streeter noted that he had searched for a copy of Hoffman's reports for quite some time but that it remained an elusive volume for him. It was only in 1957 that he acquired a copy from Dawson's Book Shop allowing him to complete his Zamorano 80 collection. "Though one would not suspect that this rather thick volume of reports of law cases was at all rare it is in fact a very rare book as well as quite an important one" Streeter. Warren Howell in his landmark catalogue 50 was only able to feature a modern reprint of Hoffman's Reports calling the original work "a classic of California history."

(CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH)
Scientific American Vol. 4; 1848.
New York: Munn & Co. 1848-49. The entire fourth volume Nos. 1-52. Folio 11 x 15 inches. 419 pp with an index at the rear. Illustrated throughout. Each number is 8 pp. Full contemporary sheepskin with green morocco gilt lettering label. Leather a bit dry some scattered foxing and toning as to be expected. Overall a very good copy.Chiefly of interest for the many references to the Gold Rush in California. The first printed announcement of the famous discovery at Sutter's Mill was published in March of 1848 in Sam Brannan's San Francisco newspaper The Californian. The news was first announced in an East Coast newspaper the New York Herald on August 19th 1848. Issue No. 1 of Vol. 4 is dated September 23 1848 and we find an article about the Gold Rush on the second page. The header is Gold Gold and it gives an early report of about six months after the event “of the discovery of an immense bed of gold one hundred miles in extent on the American Fork and Feather riversâ€."The Golden Land" found in No. 13 states - "A short time ago the most flattering accounts were received in this city from California about the mountains of gold and the valleys flowing with silver. Some believed it was a joke while others believed it to be a ‘hue and cry’ for some speculative purpose and to the latter implication we must plead guilty. We believed that the accounts received here a short time ago about vessels being deserted by their crews and houses by their inhabitants who had proceeded to the El Dorado valley were all a hoax or something worse. But it seems after all that Madam Rumor sometimes tells true tales. The golden hills of California it seems are not imaginary elevations but bona fide treasure houses.â€In "Gold and Gold Washings" in No. 15 we read that the Gold Rush extends to both side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and as far south as the headwaters of the San Joaquin River; an area 100 miles wide and 400 miles long. There are numerous other articles about the gold rush gold mining equipment and many other aspects of the 49er Gold Rush. Munn & Co. hardcover

The Great Seal of the State of California.
Sacramento: Department of State 1888. Broadside. Embossed gold paper Great Seal affixed at center printed ribbon woven through. 11 3/4 x 18 inches. Brief history and description of the origin of the Great Seal of California designed by Maj. R.S. Garnett. The ribbon has printed: "Compliments of L.H. Brown Secretary of State." Brown served as Secretary of state from 1895 to 1899. Old remnants of tape at corner and some general toning but a very good copy.This document gives both a history of the Great Seal of California and an example of the Seal itself. As near as can be determined broadsides concerning the Great Seal were issued when there was a change in the Seal. This does not appear to be the case here as the text is merely a history of the designing of the Seal. There are only three copies located by OCLC Fresno County Bancroft and the Boston Athenaeum.The need for a Great Seal was discussed at the Constitutional Convention for the new state meeting in Monterey in 1849. In town was United States Army Major Robert Selden Garnett who was skilled at drawing and who prepared a sketch. Members of the Convention liked it but Garnett didn’t want to get the credit because of hostility between the military and civilian leaders of the state. A clerk of the convention Caleb Lyon presented the design to the members as his own work the Garnett’s permission. Various amendments were voted on but a design was finally adopted. A description was “Around the bend of the ring are represented thirty-one stars being the number of States of which the Union will consist after the admission of California…The foreground figure represents the Goddess Minerva having sprung full grown from the brain of Jupiter.†That symbolized California becoming a state without having been a territory. The bay and ships may have been Sacramento or San Francisco. The grizzly bear eating grapes the miner getting gold the Sierra all characteristics of the state. The Greek motto “Eureka†means “I have found it.†Delegate Vallejo wanted the bear removed or shown lassoed by a vaquero. He was voted down. There were arguments later about who held the original die and press and the legislature had more made of slightly different size. The original designer of the Great Seal Major Robert Garnett was a West Point graduate had distinguished himself in battle. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Confederates was advanced to brigadier-general and was killed in the battle of Carrick’s Ford by Union General McClellan’s forces.

The first issue was published on August 5 1876. The lead artist until 1883 was George Frederick Keller.

Two octavo volumes. 79 2 22 ads; 93 31 ads pp. Each issue liberally illustrated from photographs. Original printed wrappers.

In the early years the members were largely devoted to local hikes to Mt. Tamalpais and such they soon branched out to incorporate the Sierra Nevada mountains. The first "High Trip†was to climb Mount Whitney in 1916 and the group placed the hiker’s register on top. At least 18 more peaks had been climbed and registers placed by CAC members by 1923. Bill Halliday organized many of the trips to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Each of the issues here offered includes a detailed article on the 'Sierra Outing' of that year and is illustrated with numerous photographs. By the 1920s their membership was about 300 thus making this a very impressive journal. Each issue contains numerous articles of interest concerning the mountains of California: e.g. The San Benito Pinnacles by Nanna C. Lininger 1920; California as a Field for the Mountaineer by M. F. Murphy 1920; The Ascent of Kettle Dome by Herman Ulrich 1921; Trouting in the Sierra by M. F. Murphy 1921; Save the Redwoods Movement in California by J. D.
