Description
Paris: Gallimard, 1942. First edition. Original wrappers, fine, unopened. One of 58 numbered copies on vélin (second paper, after 21 on Mûrier d'Annam). Gallimard had been given approval to print 2,100 copies of Saint Exupéry's account of his reconnaissance flights during the Battle of France in 1940. When it appeared in November 1942 "the scandal broke. The collaborationist press went wild....Vichy did not wait for the press campaign to develop: at the first 'denunciations' by anonymous Frenchmen protesting the antinational character of the work, Gallimard was asked to recall all the copies that had been distributed" Assouline, Gaston Gallimard, p. 270. The recall was particularly effective and very few copies of the Gallimard edition survived. It was replaced by an edition of 500 printed in New York, and then by a series of clandestine mimeographed printings.

Description
Coyoteville: September 12, 1855. Very good.. [2]pp., plus integral blank. Original mailing folds, moderate toning, staining, and ink spotting, but still easily readable. Bottom fourth of integral blank excised. An informative Gold Rush letter about mining in the long-vanished ghost town of Coyoteville, which was an extraordinarily rich gold area for a couple of years in the early 1850s. A noted tunneling method, nicknamed "coyoteing" was developed in the town, and subsequently inspired the name of the town. In the present letter, Moses Pine writes to "Catherine" in Branch County, Michigan, and signs his name simply as "Mose Esq" at the conclusion. The author informs Catherine, presumably his wife or sister, of his activities, some of the economic realities, and some of the practical details of prospecting for gold in California. Presuming that "it would be impossible for the whole of Branch County to raise $10 unless they sell a horse," Pine comments that he had ginger bread on the Fourth of July after working all day and yielding a "half Ounce Gold Dust." He then provides a detailed description of his mining: "I am now tunneling in a hill. We are 150 feet under the ground. Day before yesterday we got small respect 25 cents to the pan for the first and the bed rock pitching. I think we will find good pay in the going 100 feet further the expense is heavy as we have to blast and timber the tunnel." Pine also talks of his health and that "I work hard every day do my cooking and baking." He then expresses his hope to get back to Michigan to "rest a few months," but knows nothing of other Michigan folks in California: "Have not seen nor heard anything of them in a year. I guess they have all gone home with a fortune in a horn. Well good luck to the lucky. Old Mose will come home after a while with a pretty hat on." A nicely-detailed letter from an unusual and obscure Gold Rush location.
