Bookplate on front pastedown. Pages darkened and slightly foxed. Caleb Atwater (1778 1867) was an American politician, historian, and early archaeologist in the state of Ohio. He served several terms in the state house and was appointed as United States postmaster in Circleville, Ohio. In the 19th century he was best known for his History of the State of Ohio (1838), the first book-length history of the young state. This earlier volume describes Atwater's trip to Wisconsin in which he met with Native Americans and recorded the grammar of the Sioux language (pp. 149-172). Much of the book concerns itself with the manners and customs of the Native Americans he encountered on his journey: Winnebago, Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Odawa. In 1829, however, he journeys to Washington, and the last 30 pages or so are concerned with descriptions of the senate and impressions of such men as President Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and others.…

hardcover. First. [3], vi-vii, [blank], [1], 1, 296pp. (untrimmed pages are uniformly toned). 12mo, rebound in full beige morocco; burgundy leather spine label, lettered in gilt. Columbus, O: Isaac N. Whitting, 1831. First edition. "Nothing indicating the mission of Atwater appears on the title, yet the real object of the tour was to procure as Commissioner of the government, a cession of the title of the Winnebago, Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Ottawa Indians in the rich mineral lands, now forming the State of Wisconsin and part of Illinois. Much the greater part of the work is devoted therefore to a narration of the peculiarities of those tribes which he visited, biography of some of their cheifs, Indian poetry, specimens of their language, and incidents of his associations with them". -Field 54. Atwater was "a social and intellectual pioneer of the Middle West, and perhaps the first advocate of forest conservation; he was one of the first to predict the success of the railway, the first historian of his state [Ohio] and the founder of its school system". -DAB; ; Howes A379; Sabin 2335.…

First editions of the first official printing of the Acts of Missouri's 1820 First General Assembly and 1821 Special Session, two rare works marking a turning point in the constitutional and sectional fury over slavery that triggered the First Missouri Compromise and the Second Missouri Compromise (1820-21). Octavo, two volumes, bound in full modern brown calf with gilt titles to the spines on morocco labels, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels. In very good condition with light toning and expert paper repair to minor loss of lower edge of title page and edge of last leaf of the 1821 Acts. The Missouri controversy of 1819 to 1821 stands among the most consequential constitutional crises in early American history, a sectional confrontation over the expansion of slavery that Thomas Jefferson famously likened to "a fire bell in the night." When the Missouri Territory sought admission to the Union in 1819, Congress deadlocked over whether the new state would enter as slave or free, ultimately resolving the impasse through the First Missouri Compromise of 1820, which admitted Missouri as a slave state while prohibiting slavery in the remainder of the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36°30' line. The crisis renewed the following year when Missouri's proposed constitution included a clause in Section 26 barring free African Americans from entering the state, prompting the Second Missouri Compromise, drafted by Henry Clay and signed by President Monroe, which imposed as a condition of admission that Missouri's legislature pass a "solemn public act" disavowing any interpretation of the offending clause that would deny constitutional privileges to citizens of other states. The acts of Missouri's First General Assembly of 1820 and Special Session of 1821 together preserve the legislative record of this confrontation, with the 1821 volume containing the first official printing of the Solemn Public Act passed on June 26, 1821, the final legislative step before President Monroe's proclamation of August 10, 1821, declared Missouri's admission to the Union complete. As historian Robert Pierce Forbes has observed, the Missouri controversy offers perhaps the most valuable single key to understanding the meaning of slavery in America, for if the First Compromise promised a limit to slavery's expansion, the Second contained the seeds of civil war.…
