1851rif. BK0070Owsley's Bar Yuba River California 1851. 2 pp. 7 ½ x 9 ½ inches. Folded for mailing and postmarked San Francisco February 1 with red-orange circular datestamp and matching "40" rate handstamp. Minor wear with small pale spot to address panel. A Gold Rush letter from Thomas J. Dabline at Owsley's Bar on the Yuba River giving a detailed report on a dispersed community of Maine emigrants in the California diggings. Dabline names roughly a dozen acquaintances recording their locations occupations and in several cases their financial success while also describing the effects of an exceptionally dry winter on mining along the Yuba. Dabline begins by noting that he has continued mining "with about the same results" and then describes the winter season which had brought remarkably little rain. The shortage of water had begun to interfere directly with mining in the dry ravines: "The very small quantity of rain which has fallen has operated unfavorably for those who are engaged in mining in the dry ravines and hundreds who have been throwing out dirt for washing have been obliged to leave it for want of water. But should it continue as it has it will be very favorable for an early season up the mountains." He compares the weather to a pleasant October in Maine with occasional frost and thin ice and remarks on the relative health of the surrounding mining population estimating only six or eight deaths during the season among roughly 1500 to 2000 miners living within several miles. The strongest portion of the letter is Dabline's account of what he calls "the other Maine boys" who were dispersed across the northern California diggings: "I cannot tell you much about the other Maine boys. They are scattered about the country in the various diggings. I have learned that F. McLeod has gone home with about 3000 dollars and Mr. Sholl with 5000 or 6000 dollars. Fitch Demey is over on the American River in the Express business. Mr. Vinton & Upton are down on the McCormic or dry Creek. Mr. Carpenter with the two Johnsons of Waterville are over on the Feather River. Mr. G. is I believe at Sacramento City. The Trumbulls are up about Nevada City and Dr. Anderson was sometime back down at the little village of Nicholas which is about 55 miles above Sacramento." The passage offers a compact picture of a Maine migration network after its arrival in California with members spread among the Yuba American and Feather River regions Nevada City Sacramento and other settlements. Dabline records both the mobility of the group and their varying outcomes including men who had already returned home with several thousand dollars and another who had entered the express business rather than mining. He closes by mentioning current excitement over reports of a rich new discovery at Gold Bluff though adding that "very little credit is given to the tale here." A useful firsthand account of the social geography of the Gold Rush documenting a community of Maine emigrants across the mining regions while remaining connected through news of one another's whereabouts and fortunes. . unknown

1874rif. BK0084Washington D.C.: Department of State 1874. Partly printed document completed in manuscript 2 pp. 16 ¾ x 10 ½ inches signed by Hamilton Fish as Secretary of State with embossed Department of State seal. Some small tears at folds otherwise near fine; very good plus overall. A Department of State extradition warrant arising from a violent episode aboard the British schooner Annie B and a subsequent dispute over whether the accused should be tried in Great Britain or Maine. Charles Tilton Robbins of Deer Isle boarded the vessel at Portland on May 22 1874 using the name "Dunham of St. Andrews" and taking passage for Saint John. According to the Maine Attorney General's contemporary account while the schooner was seven miles off Monhegan Light Robbins attacked the two men on deck with a revolver and then an iron bar mortally wounding mate Solomon Camp. Robbins escaped in the schooner's boat to Monhegan and then reached Rockland where he was arrested aboard the Deer Isle packet. Camp died at Rockland on May 28.1 Because the attack occurred aboard a British vessel on the high seas Great Britain claimed jurisdiction and requested Robbins's extradition under the tenth article of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. U.S. Commissioner Edward M. Rand found the evidence sufficient to hold him pending action in Washington. In the present document Fish records that British chargé d'affaires Robert Grant Watson had made the required requisition and directs the United States Marshal for Maine or whoever had Robbins in custody "to surrender and deliver him up" to the British representative. The warrant appears to preserve a short-lived federal decision. Because Camp had died in Maine state authorities maintained that Maine itself had jurisdiction over the resulting murder. Robbins and his supporters appealed to Governor Nelson Dingley Jr. who intervened with Washington to prevent the extradition. The federal government subsequently declined to surrender Robbins and ordered him transferred to Maine authorities for trial. He was indicted in Knox County and brought to trial on September 29; after a twelve-day proceeding in which the defense was a general denial and insanity the jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity. Overall an interesting document from a notable nineteenth-century extradition dispute in which a single killing brought British maritime jurisdiction Maine criminal law and federal treaty obligations into direct conflict. 1 "In the County of Knox" Report of the Attorney General of the State of Maine. 1874 Sprague Owen & Nash 1875 5. .

On July 4 1844 Maine's Democratic Party Convention was held in Alfred. Joshua Herrick a farmer was Maine's Democratic Congressman for its First Congressional District during the 1843-1845 Session. He sought renomination. But he was challenged by Judge William Alen Hayes. Hayes's campaign manager was future Supreme Court Justice Nathan Clifford whose manipulations aroused deep resentment over lawyers' control of the democratic process. This broadside reflects those class divisions emerging within the Democratic Party. Hayes who "is without doubt the richest man in the District-- has all the monied institutions at his control or in his interest-- all the aristocracy a queer idea in a dem. party but nevertheless true all or nearly all the Lawyers. Now what has Col. Herrick to go against this tremendous influence He is what we call self-made. has comparatively but little property but he has the confidence of the yeomanry of the District." Despite this appeal Herrick abandoned his effort to secure the Party's renomination and withdrew his name from consideration. He ran without the nomination and lost.

1920rif. 41267Washington D.C.: Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 1920. Large folding nautical chart printed on heavy paper stock. Uncolored. A rare original coastal survey of Blue Hills Bay in Maine including Ellsworth Surry Tremont Southwest Harbor Swans Island Blue Hill and Acadia National Park. 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 a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of Blue Hills Bay and an important historical view of developing Maine. Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey unknown
