Description
Antwerp, 1590. No Binding. Very Good. Original and later color; some very slight restoration at margin, else excellent condition "One of the most important maps that appeared in the Ortelius atlases ..." (Burden). With its two splendid cartouches and a well-detailed illustration of Magellan's flagship, the Victoria, this is also one of the most beautifully engraved of Ortelius' maps. "Being one of Ortelius' most desirable maps combined with the fact that it was not issued in the atlas until 1590, it is not as available as the various versions of his map of America" (Burden). The map provided some of the best mapping of the West Coast of North America before the shroud of the California-as-an-island myth descended. Wagner says that the map's delineation of this area "constitutes a distinct departure; being unlike any other map . . . published before 1589." Thus, it has been surmised that this and other parts of the map were based on an unknown voyage. Burden 74; Koeman, I.C. Atlantes Neerlandici, III, p. 62; Wagner, H. Cartography of the Northwest Coast, p. 74, no. 156; van den Broecke 12.

Description
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1850. First American Edition. Vol 1 with illustrated half-title, dedication; vol 2 with 1805 ownership inscription, illustrated half-title, and lists of other publications and reference texts. Both volumes bound in modern gray cloth, some minor spotting. Very good condition. First American edition of Cumming’s wildly successful and vivid narrative of his nomadic exploits in South Africa in search of wild game. Cumming was the first to venture into the interior of the Bamangwato country, paving the way for others to follow suit. In addition to his anecdotes of chasing lions, elephants, hippopotamus, giraffe, rhinoceros, and other large game, Cumming also describes the native landscape and tribes of the region, thus making this work an important contribution to the history of South Africa. Cumming (1820-1866) was a famed Scottish hunter of large stature and great strength who rightly earned the nickname “The Lion Hunter” from his experience described in this work. On his way to join the Madras Calvary for the East India Company, Cumming had his first encounter with the sport in South Africa. Proficient as a youth in salmon fishing and deer stalking, Cumming was not able to return to South Africa until 1843 to hone his skills as a big game hunter.

Description
This one-page shareholder list measures approximately 5" x 8". It was printed on 28 May 1864 and mailed three days later to the "Assessors of Bridgewater, Massachusetts." It is franked with a 2-cent black Jackson stamp (Scott #73) which at the time was the pre-paid rate for sending printed materials. It bears a circular Boston/Paid postmark dated May 31. In nice shape.The Stewart Gold Mine was one of many mines to spring up in the Central City region of Colorado in wake of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush after paydirt was struck in Gregory Gulch in the late spring of 1859. By 1860, over 10,000 miners had descended upon Central City to mine the Gregory Lode and four other major veins that were subsequently found in the region: Bates, Gunnell, Kansas, and Burroughs.Most of the miners worked for companies, and in 1863, and after signing a resolution to form a "hard rock miner's union" rioted and began destroying property at the Bob Trail mine. Mining security responded and skirmished with the rioter throughout the night. By the following morning, the miners had lost heart, and the union effort folded.By 1900, the veins had been exhausted and the regional population had decreased to just over 3,000. Historically, the Steward Gold Mine was located within the region's Apex-North Gilpin Mining District which is now part of the Roosevelt National Forest. The mine has been closed for many years and there are no plans to reopen. (For more information, see "Stewart Gold Mine Near Central City, Colorado" at The Diggins and Wikipedia entries for "Gold Mining in Colorado" and "Central City, Colorado," all online.).
