Dole, etc. Various places: c Lot 85 Significant archive relating to the influential Dole family of Hawaii, whose major figure was Sanford B. Dole ( ), born to missionaries on Hawaii, who helped instigate the overthrow of the monarchy, and became President of Hawaii, and its first governor as a territory of the United States. The archive was compiled by Walter S. Dole, son of Sanford s brother George, and Walter s name is at the beginning of each scrapbook, with numbers sequencing their creation. The many family photographs are of historic value, and the gathering of newspaper and magazine clippings quite informative, but the most historically important part of the archive are the 125 or so letters between family members, most on Hawaii. The earliest is from Malvina J. Rowell, thought to be from 1846, to Sister C. There is a letter to Sanford Dole from May Green dated 1856, other letters from the 1860s and 70s, with most of the letters from the 1880 s. Of the letters from Sanford Dole, three are to his brother George, and two are to his nephew Walter. The letters offer a rare glimpse of personal interactions within one of Hawaii s leading families, and while there are no lengthy descriptions of Hawaiian scenery and native customs (they were all lifelong residents, after all), there is a familiarity with Hawaii that comes through. On March 13, 1888, Walter writes from Ithaca, NY, to his uncle Sanford in Hawaii: Page 25

30 Your very welcome letter has been received and we were very glad to hear from you. What made those two judges of the Supreme Court flop over to the other side? What is going to be done about the veto question now? [Apparently this has to do with the Bayonet Constitution of 1887]... Some of the ideas that people here have about the Islands are very funny. It was only yesterday that Prof. Williams, in one of his classes while speaking of the great improvement in civilization made by some savage races, said, it is within my memory and almost within yours when the Sandwich Islanders were a race of cannibals, but now they are entirely civilized, and we make treaty with them, etc... In January, 1886 Walter s mother writes to her 18-year-old son, We were glad to get your letter this week. Henry Wilcox concluded not to run for legislature because he just got a good position, and could not make up his mind to throw it up for that. Kaupena is the only one now to take his place. Papa went over to see them start the electric lights the other evening but they did not work well; he says the engine would run as swiftly or smoothly as possible without any electric current but as soon as that was added there seemed to be a powerful resistance, which the electrician said he could not understand... They are working day & night at Kealia now, and are making about 40 tons of sugar a day I believe. Mr. Bellow is very slow about finishing the Kapaea flume... Varying amounts of wear, several of the scrapbooks are coming disbound or have brittle paper; overall very good, most of the letters in excellent condition. (10000/15000) 86.

Hilo Bay, Hawaii: August 12, 1848 Rear Admiral William Branford Shubrick ( ) won early renown in the Battle of 1812 as Lieutenant of the frigate Constitution. He later served in the US Navy for many years.

The first half of this book was taken from the author s A Cowboy Detective, with real names in place of fictional ones.

Pages 120 to 268 were suppressed in the new edition, and all references to the author s experiences with the Pinkerton Agency were cut out and material on bad men substituted.

Holman. * Newsclipping from 1897 regarding the possible occupation/annexation by Great Britain of the island, in order to exploit its guano deposits. San Francisco, etc.: c.1897 Interesting little archive on this presently uninhabited nine-square-kilometre (approx. 3.5-squaremile) coral atoll in the eastern Pacific Ocean, southwest of Mexico and west of Central America. Named for an 18th century English pirate, the atoll has been occupied at various times by guano miners, would-be settlers or military personnel, mostly from Mexico, which formerly claimed it until international arbitration awarded it to France in Franklin D. Roosevelt twice visited the island in the 1930s while president, and there were plans during World War II to occupy the island for use as an airbase, with Rear Admiral Byrd sent to asses the island s potential. The present material undoubtedly stems from the attempt by the American Guano Company to occupy the island, even raising an American flag over it, a move the U.S. government denounced, assuring the French that they did not intend to assert American sovereignty over Clipperton. Included are photographs of the atoll, ships laying of the island, workmen on the island, and the large formation known as Clipperton Rock that towers above it. Included is a copy of J.M. Scaggs Clipperton: A History of the Island the World Forgot, Walker & Co., Some fading to photographs, the larger of the

Washington: 1876 Large map of the west centered on the Four Corners region and including the Colorado gold region, considered by Wheat a landmark in the mapping of the region and one of the most beautiful maps every published by the Army. According to Wheat there are several reasons for its importance. First, it is the first to show a trail to the junction of the Green and Grand Rivers. Second, he praises the map for its depiction of numerous routes of other explorers. Finally, it demonstrates the culmination of the process developed by Egloffstein to convey the idea of altitude. The map was issued in Macomb s Report of the Exploring Expedition from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the Junction of the Grand and Green River, produced in 1860 but not issued until 1876 due to the Civil War. A few short splits at folds and a few longer ones that have archival tape repairs on verso; very good, with folds. (700/1000) 346. Meares, John.

Paris: 1810 Rare map from the first French edition of Patrick Gass s Journal of the Lewis & Clark expedition, which was the first publication in foreign language of any detailed information of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The map itself seems to be the first one published that mentions Lewis and Clark and locates parts of their route. Wheat notes that Tardieu had no Lewis and Clark map to assist him, but he apparently had at hand Meriwether Lewis s brief letter-report to Jefferson, and he did his best to locate on his map at least a few of the Expedition s points of geographic interest. His available topography, based as it was on Soulard, was both skimpy and erroneous, but his use of the quoted legends showed much ingenuity. Mild offsetting and soiling, 1½ tear into right edge with verso archival tape repair and residue from earlier non-archival repair, affecting the neat lines, right margin trimmed close, old folds; about very good (Texas) Six small maps of Texas from school geographies.

Ives Report upon the Colorado River of the West, one of the most important exploring efforts of the American Southwest. It details the region around the Grand Canyon and Little Colorado River using Eggloffstein s unique 3-D like technique that imparts the appearance of depth to the topography that resembles an aerial photograph. The map shows the river from about Needles north through Black Canyon, to the Little Colorado. Carl Wheat devotes several pages to this map and the process used to produce it.

Washington: 1852 Sitgreaves set out to determine whether the Zuni River actually emptied into the Colorado River and to examine the territory. Starting at the Zuni Pueblo, he followed the Zuni River to the Little Colorado and then to the Mohave villages on the Colorado, and along the river to Camp Yuma and on to San Diego. The map gives a very detailed view of the region and was considered a monumental achievement at the time, though Wheat reflects that oddly enough, on the map which accompanies Sitgreaves report, the Mojave River is shown debouching into the Colorado, near the site of the present day city of Needles. In addition to Sitgreaves route, Lt. Col. Cooke s wagon road along the Gila River is shown, with its Maricopa villages in the vicinity of present day Phoenix. Wheat Transmississippi 763.
