1811rif. 13130Pass Christian West Florida present-day Mississippi: June 4 1811. 3pp. on a single folio sheet addressed and docketed on verso of integral leaf postmarked at New Orleans on June 14. Original mailing folds a few fold line separations some with old small tape repairs light toning and foxing. Very good condition. An intriguing manuscript letter from Lieut. W.M. Littlejohn to Lieut. Charles Kitchell Gardner written from Pass Christian then in Orleans Territory now in Mississippi. Lieutenant Littlejohn was stationed at a United States Army cantonment at Pass Christian which was established in the aftermath of the rebellion in the Republic of West Florida in 1810. The army was dispatched to the area to keep the peace between the parties namely the United States Spain & factions supporting the Republic of West Florida. Littlejohn's letter opens with the news that his passage took him through Natchez Baton Rouge and New Orleans on his way to Pass Christian. Littlejohn then provides an informative then somewhat jarring assessment of Pass Christian: "This place is most delightfully situated on the sea shore & abounds with fish crabs & oysters -- it is also said to be the most healthy part of the country but that is counterbalanced by the total want of female society & the sea breeze & bathing which adds life & vigour wastes their precious gifts for nothing." Littlejohn then describes his quarters and doubles down on the lack of female companionship: "The cantonment is well built & convenient for the number it was intended for but not being sufficient for the last detachment we have to commence our own quarters which is no contemptible undertaking at this hot season with men unaccustomed to the climate & without tools to work with. This is the first time I have been in a country where there were no Ladies & on that account would prefer being at Washington where there is such elegant society." In the course of describing the setting weather general situation at the camp and so forth Littlejohn names the companies of troops present several of the officers some of the movements of said officers and more. He comments on the lack of significant activity noting that "there is not the smallest hope of any fighting with the Spaniards" though he does expect "a small skirmish between two great men" at some point. All artifacts of military activity from this era in Orleans Territory east of New Orleans are extremely scarce as is the New Orleans postmark from its pre-statehood period. June 4 unknown

Stitched untrimmed and uncut. 350 2 blanks 76 pp. Except for a spotted title page which is chipped at the blank corners a clean Very Good copy. An informative Journal recounting Floridians' resistance to Radical Reconstruction. Governor Harrison Reed's Message addresses ongoing disturbances and "fatal and disgraceful violence. Nine-tenths of the suffering induced has fallen upon Republicans and mainly upon colored citizens-- giving unerring evidence that these excesses have been strongly tinctured by if they have not entirely originated in political prejudice." Many murders and disruptions had occurred in Calhoun and Jackson Counties forcing citizens to flee their homes and seek shelter in other parts of the State. A Committee of Five was appointed "to examine into the cause of said murders and to ascertain why the perpetrators have not been brought to justice." The Committee concluded that "there exists an organized band whose object is to resist the laws and who are the supposed authors of the many murders and outrages committed in the county." Threats of violence and a "reign of terror" had deterred witnesses from coming forward. In Jackson County "no less than one hundred and eighty -four murders fifteen of the number being women and children and almost the entire number being colored people brutally assassinated by this band of outlaws for daring to think for themselves." Similar outrages occurred in Lafayette and other counties. Governor Reed Florida's governor from 1868-73 faced impeachment charges from this Assembly as he had in 1868 and 1870. He was later charged in sixteen Articles with illegally issuing state bonds embezzlement and bribery. The charges were dismissed. The Assembly treated other matters of government including special elections marred by violence; "an act to incorporate Brown's Theological Institute" now Edward Waters College founded in 1866 to educate former slaves and considered the oldest historically black college in Florida. Senate Bill No 82 "to be entitled an act to incorporate the Buckingham Smith Asylum for the colored people of St. Augustine" was passed. Charles H. Walton, State Printer unknown

1872rif. 361607Tallahassee FL: Charles H. Walton State Printer 1872. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. A considerable portion of this year's session was consumed by the impeachment of the Republican governor Harrison Reed led by members of his own party. He was accused of fraud connected to the issuance of railroad bonds. While the Assembly formerly the House of Representatives prior to the 1868 post-Civil War constitution impeached Reed during this session the Florida Senate did not convict him. This was the second of two impeachments that Reed survived during his contentious four-year term as Florida's first Reconstruction governor. This legislative session was "Begun and held in the capitol in the city of Tallahassee on Tuesday January 2 1872" and concluded on February 17 1872. 350 journal 76 reports pages. Contents generally very good and clean. Title page self wrapper spotted and stained. Finely bound in three-quarter's leather and marbled paper-covered boards. The spine has raised bands and is stamped in gilt. A truly lovely period-style binding. Charles H. Walton, State Printer hardcover
1901rif. 2885Various locations in Florida 1901. About very good. 16 leaves illustrated with thirty-two original vernacular photographs all 3.5 x 3.5 inches most with manuscript captions in ink above the images. Oblong octavo. Contemporary gray paper wrappers white titles on front cover. Spine mostly split a few shallow chips to edges. Internally clean. A small but important vernacular photograph album containing rare views of the devastation wrought by the Great Fire of 1901 in Jacksonville Florida which took place on May 3 1901. The most destructive event in the history of Jacksonville the Great Fire swept through 146 city blocks destroying over 2000 buildings killing seven people and leaving almost 10000 residents without homes. It is considered the third-largest urban fire in United States history after the Great Chicago Fire and the 1906 San Francisco conflagration. The photographs in the present album were taken by an unidentified passenger aboard the Clyde Line steamer Comanche. Eight of the images capture the scene in devastated Jacksonville including a shot of the ruins of the Windsor and St. James hotels shots from atop the "Jacksonville Government Building" a group picture of the city guard "ruins of Jacksonville Court House" "An unknown ruin" a crowded scene at the Jacksonville wharf and a distant shot showing "Ruins of Jacksonville taken from Steamer Comanche May 12." All of the photographs of Jacksonville are dated in manuscript on May 12 1901 nine days after the Great Fire. In addition to the Jacksonville pictures other identified locations along the photographer's voyage include the Hillsborough River near Tampa the Tampa Court House scenes around the Tampa Bay Hotel family pictures in Florida the Comanche and its crew Fort Sumter and four views around Charleston. One particularly notable photograph shows six boys standing in shallow water holding fishing nets likely near Tampa.
