Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
3,[1]pp., on a folded quarto sheet. Neat repairs to two closed tears at gutter, light foxing. Very good. A report made on March 9, 1808 regarding if and how to compensate Zebulon Pike for his explorations of the Mississippi River (see Howes P372). The document prints a letter of praise from Henry Dearborn to Pike congratulating Pike on his endeavors, and includes the curious mention of one Joseph Ballenger. Ballenger was a sometime companion of Pike who left the expedition to pursue a "Spanish project," but the committee purposefully omits who hired Ballenger and what his task was. Given that Gen. Wilkinson had written Pike's instructions himself, and given Wilkinson's association with Aaron Burr's own Spanish project, Ballenger's errand into the wilderness is doubly suspect. An attractive Pike item, and quite rare. GOODSPEED 417-432. BRAISLIN 1472. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 16557. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM38529A
