Description
Baton Rouge: J.M. Taylor, 1861. About very good.. 7pp. Disbound. Minor edge wear, small dampstains at lower right corner. Minor tanning and faint foxing. Scarce report for the Vicksburg, Shreveport, and Texas Railroad, issued in the same month that Louisiana seceded from the United States. This edition details the construction completed up to January 1861, and encourages the state legislature to continue funding the project, given the context of secession -- "Event are beginning to justify the policy of the State in extending aid to the full extent of Constitutional ability to the various railroads with its boundaries.... As a means of military defense, this road is of great importance to the state. If any emergency should make it necessary to concentrate a body of armed men in any of the parishes on the Mississippi, the citizen-soldiers from the more populous upland parishes may be carried over it from Monroe in a few hours." OCLC notes several institutions with small runs of this report, but most seem to lack this January 1861 issue.
