Tallahassee and Quincy, Florida; Charleston, Columbus, 1864. Each a single leaf, varying lengths, in ink manuscript. Occasional light wear, Very Good. Shipments of cattle and salt beef to Confederate troops in the field are the primary subject of these letters. Logistic and administrative matters, railroad availability, and other aspects of supplying the troops are discussed. Pleasants Woodson White "was born in Georgia in 1820, the son of a Methodist minister who soon moved his family to Quincy [Florida]. Young White studied at Emory and began practicing law in Quincy in 1848. He was commissioned a major in the Confederate Army in 1861 and, as Chief Commissary Officer for Florida, commanded the important depot at Quincy. In 1863, despite his attempts at secrecy, White's difficulties in supplying beef cattle to the army became known. The shortages thus revealed influenced the military campaign of 1864. White became active in politics after the war and served as Judge of the Second Judicial Circuit, 1869-79. He also served as Commissioner of Lands and Immigration from 1881 to 1885, a period of railroad expansion in which his office was deeply involved. He became an attorney for the Florida Coast Line Canal and transport Company, which controlled vast acreage near Miami. White became an ardent booster of the South Florida climate and divided his last years between his citrus groves in Lemon city and his civic and business interests in Quincy. He died in 1919" [online University of North Florida Digital Commons].

Description
Niagara Falls, NY: Slipstream Publications, 1992. First edition. Softcover. 30 pages. The second book from the Native American author of "The Lone Ranger And Tonto Fistfight In Heaven." A slim collection of poems that was "Slipstream's fifth annual Chapbook Contest Winner." A very good plus copy in stapled wrappers with some small faint spots to the edges of a few of the pages. Otherwise a clean copy of this fairly uncommon book.

Hang on… we’re fetching the requested page.
