Description:
St. Augustine, Fl.: Florida Historical Society, 1857. 31,[1]pp. Original printed wrappers; front cover detached, spine chipped. Internally clean. Good. Fairbanks wrote much on early Florida history, here lecturing on its earliest explorations and encounters between Spaniards and natives. The Historical Society of Florida was only organized in 1856, and the names of its officers and members, as well as its constitution and by-laws, appear at the end of the text. From the quality of the printing and the relative commonness of this pamphlet, it seems likely it was actually printed elsewhere, possibly New York. HOWES F7. SABIN 23668. SERVIES 4195

This copy does not contain the four-page appendix, printed as a separate signature and possibly not issued with all copies. This pamphlet is said to have been suppressed, apparently because it exposes an affair involving George Washington Adams, son of President John Quincy Adams, alleging that he was the father of an illegitimate child. G.W. Adams died in an accident in 1828, leaving his relatives to keep the scandal under wraps. SABIN 23841.

Bright and clean internally. Very good. Unopened. In a tan half morocco slipcase, spine gilt. An important early account of the Oregon country, reprinted after the first edition of 1841. An excellent account of the first migration of settlers overland to Oregon. Farnham went overland there in 1839, going to Bent's Fort and then north to the Oregon Trail. After a brief sojourn during which he gathered materials, he sailed for home via the Sandwich Islands. "Thomas Jefferson Farnham, a high-spirited young man, caught the Oregon 'fever' in its most potent form as the result of hearing Jason Lee lecture in his home town. This is the first and most interesting of his several books on the West. It has the freshness of the viewpoint of a young man entranced with early Oregon and its possibilities. It is the best account of the first… Read More
