Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
65pp. plus folding table. Modern half morocco over linen boards, spine gilt. Bookplate on front pastedown. Light tanning, moderate foxing. A very good copy. The establishment mentioned in the title refers to a fur-trading post at the mouth of the Columbia River established by John Jacob Astor in 1811. Astor's partner, Duncan McDougal, sold the post and its contents to the British North West Company during the War of 1812. "The Treaty of Ghent, however, required the British to restore Astoria to the jurisdiction of the United States. When the American Commissioner, J.B. Prevost, in company with Captain Hickey of the Royal Navy, entered the mouth of the Columbia River in October, 1818, 'the British flag was thereon lowered, and that of the United States hoisted in its stead.'" - Wagner- Camp. In addition to the letter from Prevost to Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, the text reproduces two separate letters from Astor to Adams. Of particular interest are three extensive inventories listing supplies delivered to the Northwest Company in five different locales. These goods include arms, furs, merchandise, and equipment. WAGNER-CAMP 25a. HOWES C628, "aa." SABIN 14849. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM55983
