1829réf. 57826Baltimore MD: Wm. Wooddy printer 1829. Broadside printed on silk backed with linen 51 1/2 x 40 cm. employing several sizes and styles of type the entire text and illustration enclosed within a wide ornamental border. The printer William Woody ca.1788-1863 was active as a printer in Maryland from about 1817; he had served in the War of 1812 as a lieutenant in the Maryland militia obituary in the Baltimore Daily Gazette 26 August 1863. Not in Threads of History. Several other versions of this broadside exist; however we have been unable to find another copy from this printer on either OCLC or in "American Imprints" and none mentioning the illustration of the mail coach. Some light fraying in left and right margins and upper right corner not touching the decorative border remains of old glue residue on verso along one side just a touch of rubbing to border in two spots where the broadside was once folded one pinhole size spot affecting a letter or two of text. A bright clean example of a rare broadside excellent for exhibition. Folded. #6212. The subject of mail delivery on Sundays was hotly debated in Congress for nearly twenty years 1810-1830 as the post office handled and carried the mail seven days a week during this period. Petitions by various religious groups over these years requested that such work on Sundays be terminated. The text of this Senate report is a distillation of the controversy and clearly takes the committee's opinion that a Congressional act halting mail delivery on the Sabbath for religious reasons would be contrary to the principles of the Constitution. "We are aware that a variety of sentiment exists among the good citizens of this nation on the subject of the Sabbath day and our government is designed for the protection of one as much as for another. The Jews who in this country are as free as Christians and entitled to the same protection for the laws derive their obligation to keep the Sabbath day on Saturday . with these different views the committee are of the opinion that Congress cannot interfere . our government is a civil and not a religious institution . the transportation of the mail on the first day of the week it is believed does not interfere with the rights of conscience. The petitioners for its discontinuance appear to be actuated by a religious zeal which may be commendable if confined to its proper sphere; but they assume a position better suited to an ecclesiastical than to a civil institution. They appear in many instances to lay it down as an axiom that the practice is a violation of the law of God. Should Congress in legislative capacity adopt the sentiment it would establish the principle that the Legislature is a proper tribunal to determine what are the laws of God. It would involve a legislative decision in a religious controversy; and on a point in which good citizens may honestly differ in opinion without disturbing the peace of society or endangering its liberties. If this principle is once introduced it will be impossible to define its bounds. Among the religious persecutions with which almost every page of modern history is stained no victim ever suffered but for the violation of what government denominated the law of God. To prevent a similar train of evils in this country the Constitution has wisely withheld from our government the power of defining the Divine Law. It is a right reserved to each citizen; and while he respects the rights of others he cannot be held amenable to any human tribunal for his conclusions." The head of the committee in the Senate Richard Johnson ca. 1780-1850 of Kentucky was praised for this landmark report; his political rise to nomination as Martin Van Buren's vice-president followed. Sunday mail delivery continued until after the Civil War when rapid delivery of news became more a function of modern technology than seven-day a week diligence. Wm. Wooddy, printer unknown

1887réf. 2206038bPhiladelphia: L. H. Everts & Co 1887. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 1st printing. Huge quarto original one-half cloth & leather. 339pps. This is a fabulous volume. Here is what William Reese Six Score #83 said of it in his bibliography of 150 best ranching books: "These atlases were designed so that pages could be tipped in. I doubt that any two copies are exactly alike. Pagination through page 340 this copy 339 with verso blank although there are many unnumbered pages of views. There are over 300 colored maps views depicting over 350 scenes and as many as 25 folding tissue maps interleave as well as unpaginated text. 44.5 x 38 cm." 15" x 18". Reese continues: "This massive compilation contains a vast wealth of information on Kansas at the time of publication. Many of the views depict stock ranches which are also located on the extremely detailed maps. There are many bird's-eye views of towns and sights. Much of the accompanying text is devoted to listing the leading citizens of the state their property what kind of livestock they raise and even what kind of fencing they use. The Everts' atlas is an important source for much information with illustrations existing nowhere else. A similar atlas was issued for Nebraska by the same firm. The numerous state and county atlases of the late nineteenth century usually sold by subscription often contain the best illustrations and maps available." I have fully collated this copy and found something unusual although a map and atlas dealer will likely say it is normative. There are theoretically 339 maps some fine thin paper foldout maps some on one page and some multiple to a page but when I discovered four missing maps by number I also discovered they are not listed in the index to begin with. So this is a qualified "all maps present." This in very good condition with the covers worn at all extremities but hinges and joints sound. A number of leaves have old tape on various locations of the edges fixing short tears in place. I did not find this a serious compromise to the condition of the pages or the book overall as they were place conservatively and carefully. This is the only copy I have offered for sale in nearly 34 years of selling books on the Old West. This is a very heavy volume and will be shipped at cost above the default shipping price. Insurance will be added. L. H. Everts & Co hardcover

1897réf. 2406027.2n.p.: n.p. 1897. Hardcover. Very Good. 16 ORIGINAL ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPHS CIRCA 1895-1900 TAKEN IN NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA TERRITORIES by or attributed to the noted photographer Ben Wittick. It is possible that his one-time business partner A. Frank Randall made some of these images but we think not; see descriptions below. 4 5/8" x 6 5/8" each. This remarkable group presents a variety of locations scenes and people. All 16 are affixed to "Kodak Photographs" album card stock sheets 9 5/8" x 12 ½" with a cloth hinge for each page or sheet. It is reported that Wittick created a few albums of a similar nature although those recorded contain smaller sized photos. Descriptions in brief I am using numbers for separation of description only: 1 School photo of nuns and female students at Loretta Indian School Bernalillo NM; 2 School photo of male students with teacher location unidentified on the blackboard is written: "By Señor Don L J Berea"; 3 underexposed interior photo of a wedding party with bride exquisitely dressed; 4 overexposed "Shearing in New Mexico" outdoor scene; 5 & 6 Estatua de Quahutomoc and also Plaza de la Constitucion y Catedral these two have info printed on them. It is recorded that Wittick traveled to this location in Mexico; 7 & 8 two fabulous images of a white man dressed in buckskin beside a Native American woman dressed in a lovely dress and robe. Both are wearing squash blossom necklaces and silver conch belts. A horse is standing behind them in one photo. They are a couple but are just barely holding hands in one of the two photos. He has his hand around her shoulder in the other photos. The woman is clearly uncertain or unhappy about something in both perhaps because her photo is being taken which for many Native Americans at the times was a threat to their soul or personhood. EXCELLENT exposure and contrast on these two; 9 four women in a library unknown location; 10 faded photo identified in the public auction and museum record as "Snake Dance of the Moquis Walpi Village Arizona." 11 rock building location unknown with group of Native Americans a priest and at least a couple of white people all standing together. WITTICK IS SEATED AWAY FROM THE GROUP AND IS EASILY IDENTIFIED; 12 cluster of buildings large and small beside a river location unknown. Rock cliff above them is similar to Kearns Canyon; 13 group of 4 photos of two priests in formal street suits and a couple of military men wearing different styles of uniforms. Each of these photos presents a different combination of the four men. They are variously hamming it with their weapons as if they were teenagers in one photo. In another an individual is playing a guitar. In three of them a military sun helmet of the period is being worn as part of the uniform dress. In our search of all the museum and historical locations that house Wittick photographs including the 1183 images in the New Mexico Digital Collections archive we found only the Snake Dance photo an original print of which sold at auction in 2021 for around $400. Extensive information may be found on Ben Wittick on the internet. One photo has a minor corner chip else no chips or tears on any in the group. One Kodak page is cracked in the corner and has been minimally stabilized with archival filmoplast tape. A splendid group of exceptional and almost entirely unrecorded candid posed and descriptive photos. Rare. n.p. hardcover

Very Good. 1st edition. 12mo gilt-stamped & decorative blind-stamped tan colored cloth bibliographies also cite an edition in wrappers. 150pp. Illustrated with many engravings. Also there is a page reproducing the "Certificate of Membership in Osburn's Oklahoma Colony" its constitution is printed in this book.Two pages of advertising E. C. Cole's Real Estate Kingman Kansas and Bank of Kingman each a full page. Lists of Schools & Teachers 5 pp. We have laid in a facsimile copy of the rare original color-toned map engraved by the publishers. Howes indicates that this map was not issued in all copies perhaps they were removed because they were not attached. The title page continues "Biographical Sketches of Capt. David L. Payne W. L. Couch Wm. H. Osborn and others -- A Complete Guide to the Indian Territory Illustrated with Map Hunting and Fishing Grounds by authors." E. E. Dale in his bibliography of the range cattle industry says of this book: "A small volume prepared especially for the purpose of advertising the lands known as 'Oklahoma' and to urge their opening to settlement. Interesting and valuable as a contemporary account of conditions in the Indian Territory and along the border but must be used with care because of its frankly controversial character." The bias of this book is indicated with one of the headings: "Railroads and Cattle-Kings Dictating to Congress". Contents include portions of treaties & gov. docs newspaper reports & "Oklahoma Stories" taken from them. As with regional books of this nature printed in this era each extant copy may be missing a plate or two that will be found in another copy and vice versa. In this copy "Camp Alice" facing p56 was absent & a facsimile from another copy has been tipped in. Condition: a very good copy. There is a small dimple on the back cover with loosening of threads around it pencil diameter. Very slight soiling to the cloth. The signature/gathering following page 16 is pulled a little from the binding & is slightly loose. One of the rarest of all Oklahoma books & published when the Boomers were becoming bold in their suit to open lands for white settlement.

The binding shows minor wear but is otherwise strong and the contents are in remarkable condition. There is an elaborate engraved plate preceding the formal title page printed in red and black. Measures 47 x 29.5 cms. Zacherie Chatelain d.1723 was the father of Henri Abraham 1684-1743 and Zacherie Junior 1690-1754. They worked as a partnership publishing this atlas under several different Chatelain imprints depending on the Chatelain family partnerships at the time of publication. The original atlas was published in seven volumes between 1705 and 1720 with a second edition appearing in 1732. The maps were accompanied by information pertaining to cosmography geography history chronology genealogy topography heraldry and costume of the world. The maps in the Atlas Historique were based on those of the French cartographer Guillaume De L'Isle but were presented by the Chatelains in an encyclopedic format. The text is in French and is printed in two columns on the page with maps and other illustrations interspersed. Each map and table is numbered consecutively see MapHist dot com.
