1856Original publishers boards, 12mo, 132 pages. Singerman 1440. DE RENNE II, p.579. Milberg nr. 58. Uncommon work by this Jewish author who would go on to become a Confederate Officer during the Civil War. Levy (1827 - 1888) . Was also editor in chief of the Savannah Daily Advertiser, and in April 1868 Levy criticized in print the political views of a certain Dr. James Waring. Waring, apparently thin-skinned, demanded a duel. Levy obliged, but luckily friends were able to defuse the situation (Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities, 2013) . Logan was a popular actress of the mid-19th Century, daughter to Cornelius Logan, a comic actor & playwriter who served as her manager until his death in 1853. While Logan was born in Philadelphia, she made her name in the antebellum South, with many lucrative engagements in cities such as Savannah, where she, no doubt, inspired Mr. Levy to write this work in her honor. Very Good Condition. (amr-45-23B) xx

Good plus with a chip to the front wrapper some edge wear tape repairs and light soiling. An uncommon collection of essays sketches and travel narratives by the Belgian journalist Lodewijk Vleeschouwer 1810-1866 including approximately 150 pages devoted to his experiences in the United States between 1828 and 1834. Vleeschouwer traveled through New York Philadelphia Charleston and Savannah eventually finding employment teaching languages and philology at the Chatham Academy and Savannah Lyceum in Georgia. He later returned to Belgium where he became a prominent journalist and satirist. The American section titled Brokken uit eene reize door de Vereenigde Staten van Noord-Amerika "Fragments from a Journey through the United States of North America" begins with a journey from New York to Philadelphia. Vleeschouwer describes a fierce competition between two steamboat companies which reduced fares to nothing and eventually offered passengers free meals before one company abandoned the route. He recounts a collision between competing vessels and gives observations on Philadelphia's streets public works boarding houses and social customs. Other chapters describe American Sunday observances Quaker meetings Methodist preaching and the treatment of Black servants including a confrontation involving a white guest and a Black servant over the biblical descendants of Cain and Abel. The later American chapters concern Vleeschouwer's residence in Savannah including an extended account of a dispute between two young men following a horse race. The quarrel begins when one man who is Jewish takes offense at the name "Shylock" leading to a challenge to a duel and subsequent legal proceedings. Vleeschouwer concludes with an account of his return voyage to Europe aboard the Olive-branch departing Savannah for Liverpool. The remainder of the volume consists of satirical sketches speeches literary criticism and essays including a discussion of phrenology. A relatively unusual Dutch-language account of American life during the Jacksonian period written by a European visitor who spent several years living and working in the United States. Howes V135. .

1836réf. List2949Clarke Cobb and Harris Counties Georgia 1836. Three documents. One four-page document measuring 5 x 8 ¾ inches likely previously a single sheet; water stained with some tearing at folds very good. One double-sided document measuring 8 x 10 inches; water stained and folded with large tears at folds possibly with part missing good. One single-sided document measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches. Water stained and folded with large tears at folds much damage to margins good. Overall good. Three legal documents in which William Barber buys and sells plots of land shortly following the establishment of Cobb County. In 1834 and 1835 Barber buys plots from John Gann and Elizabeth Kennon for $100 each and in 1836 sells land to Gilbert Rake for $500. Gann is possibly the plantation owner Cobb County pioneer and State Senator. These land contracts date to a time at which a small number of Cherokee—whose territory included present-day Cobb County—had voluntarily left the area following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 while a majority had not done so. The Indian Removal Act required Indigenous people east of the Mississippi River to cede their land to Euro-Americans and move west of it to so-called Indian Territory now Oklahoma. In 1835 the US government met with a group of Cherokee claiming to represent the tribe in New Echota Georgia and signed a removal treaty. When the majority of the tribe viewing the treaty as illegitimate refused to move voluntarily the US government sent the military to intervene. Of interest to historians of Cobb County and land dealings between its early Euro-American residents during the removal of its Indigenous population. unknown

1949réf. 5007Atlanta Ga 1949. Very good. Eight printed documents most completed in manuscript. Some folds mostly minor dust-soiling wear and creasing moderate toning and some unobtrusive chipping. An interesting group of documents issued from the Afro-American Life Insurance Company's Atlanta District during the Jim Crow period. The collection includes a Member's Receipt Book issued by an agent of the company in La Grange Georgia with twenty manuscript entries in pencil collecting weekly insurance dues for a policy holder named Minnie B. Reed over the course of a few months in 1949; a small folder issued to Reed presumably to hold her receipt book; four loose partially-printed receipts for premiums paid by a man named Paul Ealy also in 1949 completed in manuscript weekly payments for life insurance for both of these policy holders was twenty-five cents; and two blank application forms for the company's insurance service. The application forms include the company's home office address in Jacksonville Florida and indicates the company's expansion through the use of several ink stamps applied to most of the documents indicating the material emanated from the company's Atlanta office.
