Beschreibung
46pp. Modern mottled calf, gilt. Extremities rubbed. Bookplate on front pastedown. Minor soiling. Very good. A scarce work on Baja California. "Jacob Primer Leese was a Santa Fe trader who settled in San Francisco in 1836 and engaged in the hide and tallow trade with Yankee ships. He married a sister of General Vallejo and became very wealthy. In 1863, Leese and other promoters founded the Mexican Mining and Colonization Company and obtained a land grant from the Mexican government of some 46,800 square miles between the 24th and 31st parallels of latitude in Baja California. They failed to meet their obligations, however, and the grant was transferred to another party in 1866. This outline was written 'in the interest of the Mexican Mining and Colonization Company.' In addition to details on the grant, it provides material on the discovery, early settlements, missions, minerals, and pearl fisheries of Baja California" - Hill. BARRETT 1460. HILL 998. SABIN 39834.
