Broadside describing the first occupation of Winchester, Virginia, during the Civil War. [CIVIL WAR]. Broadside, signed in type by Colonel William D. Lewis, Winchester, Virginia, April 17, 1862, 1 p. 12½ x 11 in. Partial Transcript "HEAD QUARTERS, Commander of the Post, Winchester, Va., April 17, 1862. CITIZENS OF WINCHESTER: Upon me has devolved the duty of commanding this Post. My wish and my duty is to afford you all the liberty and protection, due to fellow citizens. The Government I represent, is the same our forefathers established to form a more perfect Union. . . promote the general welfare and secure to us and our posterity, the blessing of Liberty. We mean truly to represent its impartial Justice. But no one can expect the privileges of a citizen and behave as an enemy. No one can expect kindness . . . who does not extend it to others. Citizens are reminded that the troops now stationed here, are those of their own Government, and are lawfully here on their country's soil. . . they are here for the protection of their fellow citizens and for the prosecution of their Country's Enemies the 'Rebels.' Those persons Male or Female engaged in circulating flying rumors and creating false excitements are particularly warned. Our soldiers are to support the Rights of all, and were I to permit flying reports and insulting remarks to be made the means of mischief, annoyance and insult to the service or its servants, they would provoke retaliations and lead to much useless suffering. I trust, Fellow Citizens, you will understand and appreciate the justice of these principles, and by your conduct obviate the necessity for harsh measures" Historical Background Colonel William D. Lewis issues a warning to the citizens of Winchester, Virginia, imploring them to submit to his occupation or face "harsh measures." This was the first official occupation of a town that would change hands nearly seventy times during the war. Union General Nathaniel Banks entered the Shenandoah Valley in March 1862, occupied Winchester on March 12 and defeated the Confederates at the battle of Kernstown on March 23. On May 25 Union forces were defeated by Stonewall Jackson at the first battle of Winchester and forced to withdraw from the town towards Harper's Ferry, thus ending the first Federal occupation of Winchester.

Newport [R.I.], 1872. No binding. Fine. Autograph Letter Signed, to Henry Anthony. Newport [R.I.], November 25, 1872. 4 pp. A detailed, despairing letter on campaign politics after the reelection of Ulysses S. Grant. Lawrence observes the humiliating defeat of Democrats and ""Liberal Republicans"" - who united behind Horace Greeley because of corruption in the Grant administration - in the Election of 1872. Lawrence laments the elevation of personality over merit and virtue in elections, an observation which resonates today. He also expresses concern about how newly enfranchised African Americans tended to vote. ""The negroes are naturally disposed to support those who are in power & whom they invest with superior dignity, on account of the possession of power. ...the extraordinary denouement of the Cincinnati Convention has placed in bold relief the mode most unsatisfactory to an intelligent people, by which party conventions are constituted & which are readily made, the instruments of the vilest partisan combinations, carried on by men without character & without principle."" Complete Transcript Ochre Point, Newport 25 Nov. 1872Dear Governor Anthony Your kindness in supplying me in former years with the Congressional Globe induces me to solicit the favor of the sequel to my set. I have to the end of the 41st. Congress 2d. Session 1869-70. I have not the 1s. or 2d. Session of the 42d. Congress.- nor the annual reports, accompanying the last message. I have not forgotten my promise to write a paper on the changes to be effected in the character of the Executive office, for which the existing arrangement in Subjects furnishes valuable suggestions, but the task which I somewhat hastily [2] assured, to enter on the, (to rue,) novel task of a lecturer, has occupied all the time that I could give to my library, while the events of the late elections and the matters, which preceeded it, induce me to think that the question of a constitutional amedmt does not stand precisely as it did some months since. The utter dissolution of the Democratic party, by the insane nomination of Greeley, gives to General Grant the power of retaining his position, by repeated election, as long as he may desire it. Not only is all outside opposition removed, but the plan of those, who attempted, in the party itself, to secede from the support of administration has been signally defeated, that the same cause is not likely to be repeated by any of those who remained steadfast to their chief. If the principle of the civil service bill is carried out, as was professed, the same panacea [3]which attaches to subordinate places may readily be applied to the highest, especially, when it is considered that it is a remedy for those periodical agitations, which Presidential elections formerly occasioned. There is another element not hereafter to be overlooked & that is the negro vote - the negroes are naturally disposed to support those who are in power & whom they invest with superior dignity, on account of the possession of power. Moreover, the extraordinary denouement of the Cincinnati Convention has placed in bold relief the mode most unsatisfactory to an intelligent people, by which party conventions are constituted & which are readily made, the instruments of the vilest partisan combinations, carried on by men without character & without principle. I know not that Belmont's cause, in deferring the Democratic Convention, till after the nondescript assemblage at Cincinnati, is to be ascribed to any cause other [4] incompetency to deal with such matters, but if his object had been, in furtherance of the interests of Rothschild's financial scheme, to affect the reelection of General Grant, he could not have taken a more effectual course than he adopted, for the purpose. In giving it as my opinion, in these rambling remarks, that the election of General Grant for a third & fourth term is as certain as any event, which has not actually occurred, I wish to be understood n...

Description
One page, square 12mo (114 x 104 mm), a few pale stains, one short separation along fold. Cooper apparently returns a copy of a translation of Frithiof’s saga, or The legend of Frithiof by Esaias Tegner (London, 1835), edited and translated in part by Frye: “My dear Major, I send back the Danes, big and little, Swedes, ‘pioneers and all.’ We think ‘Frithiof’ a striking poem, and owe you an especial notice for having translated it into any other than your mother tongue. With many thanks and constant good wishes, I am my dear Major, yours very truly J. Fenimore Coooper. Do you see the republicans were like to get the republic of Frankfurt. What a thing is a name.”  It is known that Herman Melville read Frithiof’s saga, and it fits that Cooper too would look to other epics in the process of writing his own of America.

The poster includes a large photographic portrait of Edward Curtis's "Flathead Chief" at top over a long quotation by him. The quotation laments the coming of the white man, which was at first a welcome development by Native Americans, but ends in misery: "His laws never gave us a blade, nor a tree, nor a duck, nor a grouse, nor a trout.... How often does he come? You know he comes as long as he lives, and takes more and more, and dirties what he leaves." No copies in OCLC.

Eureka, Nv: July 3, 1871. Very good.. [4]pp., on a single large folio sheet. Old horizontal folds, minor toning. A large-format mining report on the Eureka District of Nevada by noted mining and mechanical engineer Joshua E. Clayton. Joshua Elliott Clayton (1820-1889) was regarded as one of the nation's foremost mining engineers in the latter half of the 19th century. Self taught, Clayton worked in the mining fields of California, Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Nevada for a variety of companies for over fifty years. He was also innovative, inventing mining and milling machinery over his long career that he would market to the companies for which he was a consultant. Clayton was renowned in the west for his integrity and accuracy, once claiming in 1880 that Butte would eventually yield 40,000 tons of copper per year; nine years later, Butte was producing over 50,000 tons of copper annually. The idea was laughed at, until the mine produced. A detailed biography of Clayton by Clark C. Spence, titled, "Joshua E. Clayton: Pioneer Western Mining Engineer" was published in the Autumn 1980 issue of Arizona and the West. Beginning in 1867, Clayton consulted for a number of British and American firms in the mining fields of Nevada. The present report on "twenty mines in the Eureka District" in Lander County, Nevada was produced for an unspecified investment group, likely a British firm, many of whom Clayton was consulting at this time. In the report, Clayton details the overall state of the geology of the area, the ore deposits, lodes, veins, and other phenomena. He also goes into great detail on two area mines - the "Bullwhacker" Series and the 1,600-foot Dunderberger Mine. Clayton describes these mines in great detail, and characterizes them as can't-miss opportunities for his unnamed investors, writing that "the set of mines selected for the basis of your investment...is the finest combination of claims that can now be made in this wonderfully rich district." The last page of the document is a supplemental report by W.S. Keyes which confirms Clayton's assessment of the Eureka-area mines. Though no item-level records of this report are listed in OCLC, there may be copies in the two collections of Clayton's papers at Yale and the Bancroft. Otherwise, the document is unrecorded.
