[Crevecoeur, Michel-Guillaume Saint Jean De] Voyage Dans La Haute Pensylvanie et Dans L'Etat de New-York par un Membre Adoptif de la Nation Oneida Traduit et Publie Par l'Auteur des Lettres d'un Cultivateur Americain
Paris, De L'Imprimerie de Crapelet, Chez Maradan, 1801. first edition, three volumes, octavo, [xxxii], 1-427; [xiv], 434; [xii], 409, [1], pp., eleven plates and maps, four folding tables, re-bound in recent half calf and marbled boards, a very good set. "Original work of this author, presented under the guise of a translation." - Howes. "The author spent nearly a quarter of a century in America, saw Washington, in 1774, come to the first Congress fresh from his farm, witnessed his extraordinary career, and, in 1797, saw him retire to the private life of an agriculturist. His experience, therefore, enables him to give much information and personal gossip not readily found elsewhere. The portrait of Washington in the first volume is an interesting one, "Grave d'apre le Camee peint par Madame Brehan a New York en 1789." There is also a fine portrait of Kesketomah, an Onondagua sachem, and Koohassen, an Oneida warrior. This work is distinguished by its valuable details on the aboriginal tribes, and their gradual disappearance. No other writer has so well described the Indian great councils, or assemblies, where they deliberate on their public interests." - Sabin. Howes C-884, Sabin 17501; Field 388

Putnam, William A. [Autograph Letter Signed, Louisville, KY, May 22, 1864 to his brother, George A. Putnam, Rutland, Worcester Co., MA]
folio, 4 pages, folded, light damp-stain, accompanied by original mailing envelope, in good clean legible condition. Putnam, a southern sympathizer, writes to his brother in the north, who disagrees with his positions. He discusses, in this letter, in the most racist terms African Americans, newly freed slaves, their "inherent inferiority," politics, the constitution its "destruction" by Lincoln and the government, the War, the Fort Pillow massacre, etc. "…I was somewhat amused when in the course of conversation he said that free niggers could not come into Illinois, no sir, the door is barred against our being ever troubled with them. I said and still you Ill. Have sent some two hundred thousand men to take away their masters' land, corn and bacon and set them free, as they suppose, to go where they please at the north, but when these free niggers knock at your door to warm their shins and beg a morsel for their little ones, your only answer will be "Go away niggers, we have set you free and now go about your business"…concluded that it looked hard to exclude a free man from the rights guaranteed to freemen by the constitution. I told him that the same power that had broken the constitution of Kentucky by taking the slaves for soldiers would soon find a way to break a hole in the constitution of Illinois big enough to push the nigger through…"You do not care a damn for the nigger" "give him his freedom and let him keep his end up if he can, and if not let him go under" when you have most positive evidence that he is of so inferior race that he must be cared for, and that be cannot keep his end up. This is bad humanity. As for "the whole country being better off without it" I believe if it had never been brought to this country by our ancestors and the English, (for the South never imported one) it would have been better for the country…"

Wilson, Hiram [Autograph Manuscript, concerning Colored Refugees in Canada, Boston, April 12th, 1860]
Quarto, 4 pages, old folds and creases, some minor paper loss at fold joints, some browning to paper else in good legible condition. Important manuscript account, of approximately eight hundred words, of the status of escaped African-American slaves who traveled to Canada by way of the Underground Railroad. Wilson, one of the fifty Lane Theological Seminary Students, who left that institution in 1834, gives an account of the condition of the former slaves in Canada from the establishment of his own mission among them in 1836. Wilson states that at the time he established his mission there were "10,000 colored people in Canada, which number has increased to 40,000." Wilson gives a brief history of the missions in Canada, the efforts to educate and care for the refugees, spread of religion among them, the outward emigration of former slaves from Canada, a list of British supporters, and a list of missions in Canada. "The modus operandi consisted in the proclamation of the gospel in every part of Canada West where they were to be found & in the introduction of teachers in their settlements & places where they were numerous… much was done for the temporary relief & comfort of the strangers who were continually coming in & much valuable information was received from them, as to the secrets of the prison house from which they fled & published by the Anti Slavery Press." "The teachers for Canada were drawn for several years from Oberlin Ohio & from the Oneida Institute N.Y. There was for many years an imperious demand for schools specially for the colored people, which necessity has for many years been happily obviated by the general system of Education in the province which has been matured & liberalized and embraces all the colored youths in common with the white children. Thousands have been taught to read in the land of refuge, whose fathers & mothers in the South, were debarred the privilege by laws & usages which were revoltingly wicked & cruel - subjecting those who dared to teach them how to spell the word liberty or the precious name of Jesus to fines & stripes & imprisonment." "A large proportion of the adult population & many of the youth have been hopefully converted and are reconed [sic] Evangelical Christians. Many interesting seasons of revival have been experienced in different parts of Canada since the mission was commenced. A considerable number have emigrated from Canada to the West Indies, some to Australia some to California, some to British Columbia & a few are about to emigrate to the Berubah Country in Western Africa, under the auspices of the African Civilization Society, & many very many who have come up out of Slavery have we believe gone to Heaven by way of Canada." "Missions have been established as follows 1st At Toronto in 1838 Rev. Hiram Wilson & wife missionaries who removed to Dawn in 1842 & was there joined by Rev. Josiah Henson (Uncle Tom) and Rev.

Armstrong, T. R. My First and Last Buffalo Hunt. And a "Sequel."
[N.P.] T. R. Armstrong 1918, first edition, 48 pp., 14 text illustrations, original printed paper wrappers, a very good clean copy. The first half of this work is an epic narrative poem dealing with the author's buffalo hunt which took place when the buffalo were so numerous that "the country was one robe." However, the work is of greater interest for the second part or the "sequel," entitled: Survivor Narrates Story of a Famous Indian Battle." This is J. W. Williamson's memoir of the battle of Massacre Canon in Nebraska on August 5, 1873. This battle which turned out to be the last tribal conflict in the United States, a band of some seven hundred Pawnee, on their government sanctioned summer buffalo hunt near the Republican River, were ambushed by several hundred Sioux warriors. The Pawnee lost 136 men, women and children, to 50 Sioux warriors lost. Williamson was serving as a guide and provides this account as one who was in the midst of the engagement. The last two pages are a tribute to William F. Cody, who died in 1917. Not in Howes, Graff, Eberstadt, Decker, or Soliday.
