Title: War of 1812 Hero, Early New Mexico Explorer, and the "First American Buried in California Soil"
Author: SYLVESTER PATTIE
Seller: Seth Kaller, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: SYLVESTER PATTIE. Document Signed. Promissory Note with Pattie signing as witness. No place, October 20, 1800. 1 p., 7¾ x 2¾ Docketed on the verso and signed by Boyd with his mark. War of 1812 veteran Sylvester Pattie witnessed this promissory note for "John Boyd or order on demand four pound four Shilling for value received." Originally from Kentucky, Pattie and his son, James Ohio Pattie, took a small expedition throughout the Southwest in 1824. At the time, the territory belonged to Mexico, and the party was exploring a little-known route through the area and encountered Indians who had never seen white men and proceeded to steal their horses. The party had a large number of furs confiscated by the Mexican Governor in Santa Fe, New Mexico, under the pretense of hunting without a license. Nevertheless, the Governor gave them a passport for safe passage through Mexican territory. When the party arrived in San Diego, the Governor there rejected the passport, accused them of spying for the Spanish, and threw them in jail, where Pattie took ill and eventually died. His biography in Appleton's notes his passing in New Mexico, but this is incorrect, as the trials and tribulations of the entire expedition are recounted in his son's account, The Personal Narrative of James O. Pattie of Kentucky... Pattie is commemorated by a memorial in San Diego's Presidio Park: "Sylvester Pattie/ pathfinder/ leader of the first party of Americans into Alta California over southern trails. Arrived at San Diego presidio March 27, 1828 An officer in the War of 1812/born in Kentucky August 25, 1782/ Died near this spot April 24, 1828/ First American buried in California soil. Commemorating also his son James Ohio Pattie and companions Jesse Ferguson, William Pope, Nathaniel Pryor and Isaac Slover" Sylvester Pattie (1782-1828) was born in Kentucky. He was a lieutenant in the War of 1812 and ran a saw- and grist-mill before being widowed around 1824 and undertaking an expedition through the southwest in what was at the time Mexican territory and is now New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

Edward B. Sawyer was absent on medical leave, Lt. Col. Addison W. Preston led the Vermont cavalrymen through the Battle of Gettysburg. After battling Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry at Hanover, Pennsylvania, on June 30, the 1st Vermont Cavalry joined the Union line on the extreme left near the Round Tops. Throughout July 3, they joined a dismounted attack on the Confederate right flank, and a mounted assault late in the afternoon pushed back the Confederates but left 67 of their regiment - 10 percent of the 675 engaged - dead. In the aftermath, they were one of the regiments harassing General Robert E. Lee's retreating Confederate army as it hurried toward the Potomac River and the safety of Virginia. Addison Webster Preston (1831-1864) was born in Burke, Vermont, and moved as a child to Danville. He entered Brown University, but left due to ill health. He sailed to Australia and then to California, where he spent several years before returning to Danville. Preston enlisted as a captain in the 1st Vermont Cavalry in September 1861, and was promoted to Lt. Col. in September 1862. He was wounded at Hagerstown in the Gettysburg Campaign and again two months later at Culpeper Court House. Appointed colonel on April 29, 1864, he was killed in action on June 3, 1864, at Hawe's Shop, Virginia. He left a widow and two children. Brigadier General George A. Custer said over his body, "There lies the best fighting colonel in the Cavalry Corps."

Author: BRAHMS, Johannes 1833-1897
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Berlin: Verlag und Eigenthum für alle Länder von N. Simrock [PN 8454], 1884. Folio. Black leather-backed textured cloth, titling gilt to spine. 1f. (recto title, verso blank), 1f. (recto publisher's note, verso blank), 5-109, [i] (blank) pp. Title lithographed, with "Lith. Anst. v. C.G. Röder, Leipzig" to foot; music transfer-printed. With small handstamp of Berlin music publisher and distributor Bote & G. Bock to blank foot of title. Binding worn, rubbed, and bumped.

Hofmann p. 191. McCorkle p. 372. Fuld pp. 554-555 and pp. 691-692. Sonneck p. 56. Possibly printed at approximately the same time as the first, engraved, issue (virtually unobtainable), which was printed in only a handful of copies, most probably expressly for the composer and friends. "With his Third Symphony op. 90 Brahms achieved a new level of coherence in a large-scale orchestral work. It is the shortest of the four symphonies, lasting only half an hour in most performances. The durations of the individual movements are closer to being equal than in any of the others. The compact dimensions and balanced proportions seem intended to point up processes that extend over the entire work. These include the most direct thematic recall in any symphonic work by Brahms: the opening motto and theme return transfigured at the end of the finale. Coherence is also imparted by harmonic devices, such as the frequent juxtaposition of F major and F minor. The tonal scheme is unique in the genre: outer movements centred on F and inner movements on C, thus creating a plateau of harmonic tension in the dominant that implies a large-scale sonata form over the whole work." George S. Bozarth and Walter Frisch in Grove Music Online.
