1922réf. 41198Washington D.C.: Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 1922. Large folding nautical chart printed on heavy paper stock. Colored. A rare original coastal survey of the border between Mississippi and Alabama including the Mississippi Sound Gulfport Biloxi Pascagoula and a series of barrier islands: Cat Island Ship Island Horn Island Petit Bois Island Dauphin Island and Island Aux Herbes. Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast. These nautical survey maps commonly referred to as "T-sheets" provide fascinating insights into the history of the United States coastline which has and will continue to shift. These maps are the most important data source for understanding the physical and ecological characteristics of the U.S. shoreline. The present map is notable for its inclusion of Gulfport Biloxi and Pascagoula as they were gridded in 1922 and Cat Island a barrier island used for an undercover WWII program Dogs for Defense. Cat Island was chosen as the training camp dedicated to a specialized training program based off the untrue belief that dogs could differentiate humans by smell based on their cultural heritage. The top secret program attempted to train dogs to track and attack Japanese soldiers in the Pacific Theater and was held at Cat Island because of its similar terrain to that of the Pacific Islands and its uninhabited status. This operation was unsuccessful due to the incorrect assumption and shut down in 1944. This map is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the coastal border between Mississippi and Alabama and an important historical view of the developing states.

1860réf. 827031860. A Compilation of Mississippi Session Laws Including A Response to an Enslavement Petition from a Free Woman of Color Mississippi. Laws of the State of Mississippi Passed at a Regular Session of the Mississippi Legislature Held in the City of Jackson November 1859. Jackson: E. Barksdale State Printer 1860. 608 pp. Octavo 8" x 5". Later three-quarter sheep over marbled boards lettering piece and black leather label to spine Washington State Law Library label to foot of spine endleaves renewed. Light rubbing ink library stamps to front board and bottom-edge of text block front joint starting at ends rear joint cracked corners lightly bumped and worn. Light toning to interior occasional light foxing trimming to fore-edge just touching text or side-notes on a few pages without loss to legibility. $350. Official printing of laws passed by the Mississippi state legislature in 1859. The compilation includes the Mississippi state constitution as ratified in 1832 and a detailed table of contents and index. The amendments resolutions and acts in the volume deal with a number of interesting topics such as Native Americans and slavery. Also included is "An act for the benefit of Ann Mataw a free woman of color." This act responded to a petition which stated that Mataw preferred "a residence as a slave in this state where she was born to a residence in a non-slaveholding state" and believed "that slavery with a humane owner is preferable to freedom in a free state.in view of the certainty that the legislation of the State if not at the present session will soon be such as to coerce all free persons of color to leave it" Mataw. This is reflected in the text of the act which states that Mataw's "absolute slavery" would "protect the said Ann from the penalties of the present or any future statute of the State in reference to free negroes and mulattoes" 353. Petitions for self-enslavement were rare. They enabled the petitioner to choose their owner and were often pursued in light of the harsh rules that governed the lives of free people of color in Southern states. Elizabeth G. Purdom Mataw's chosen owner was the wife of a circuit court clerk. In the census of 1860 she is listed as the owner of three slaves including Mataw; it is possible that Mataw had familial or community ties to the other people. unknown
