Byars, William Vincent (Editor).
B. AND M. GRATZ. Merchants In Philadelphia 1754-1798. Papers Of Interest To Their Posterity And The Posterity Of Their Associates.
386 p. Uncut. Top edge gold. Ms. Note from Edwin Wolf, II. Inked presentation notations on copyright page. Small Quarto. Original full green morocco leather binding, ruled in gold. Spine with raised bands decorated and lettered in gold. Binding sun faded. Hardbound. First edition. Michael Gratz (1735-1811) Jewish-American trader, merchant, financier, and patriot was born in Langendorf, Upper Silesia, Germany. In 1758 he followed his older brother, Bernard, to Philadelphia. Together they set up a coastal shipping service between New Orleans and Quebec. They also became trusted bankers and legal agents for many of the most important persons in colonial America. The French & Indian Wars interfered with shipping, and the brothers took up the western frontier and India trade in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kentucky. They, along with other important Philadelphia merchants, signed the Non-Importation Resolutions of 1765 to protest the Stamp Act. During the Revolutionary War the Gratz brothers supplied the Continental Army with substantial quantities of needed goods. With the British occupation of Philadelphia, the firm relocated to Lancaster, PA. Michael moved to Virginia during the Revolution, and though he took the oath of allegiance to that state in 1783, he apparently returned to Philadelphia within a short while. The famous and beautiful Rebecca Gratz (1781-1869) was his daughter. A very good copy of an important and scarce book. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 47.
