THE TRUE SPIRIT AND ORIGINAL INTENT OF TREATY 7 gathers the 'collective memory' of the elders about Treaty 7 to provide unique insights into a crucial historical event and the complex way of the aboriginal people. THE TRUE SPIRIT AND ORIGINAL INTENT OF TREATY 7 is based on the testimony of over 100 elders from the five First Nations involved in Treaty 7 - the Bloods, Peigans, Siksika, Stony, and Tsuu T'ina." - rear cover. $15.00

Peter Dooyentate Clarke was a Wyandot of the Anderdon community in Southern Ontario, the chief son of a Wyandot woman and a Euro-Canadian officer of the Indian Department at Fort Malden and was the grandson of Huron Chief Adam Brown. He moved from the Anderdon Reserve to Sandusky, Ohio, in 1841, where he married a Cherokee woman. The Wyandot sold their Ohio lands in 1842, disbanded in 1855, and Clarke moved back to Anderdon and became the chief of the Anderdon Wyandot in 1867. "This meagre, confused, and inaccurate account seems to be all that has been handed down in the oral traditions of the Wyandots in the West concerning the laying waste of their country two centuries and a half ago, and of the events, all-important for them at least, which preceded and accompanied their own final dispersion. As these occurences were fully chronicled at they same time they took place, the student of Indian hsitory may, by comparison, draw his own conclusions as to the accuracy of Dooyentate's summary, and at the same time determine what credence is to be given to Indian traditions of other events, all certainly of minor importance." - tellingly, from the Catholic Encyclopedia (under Huron Indians), a reference work that may have some problems with the truth of its own account of things. $395.00

Peter Dooyentate Clarke was a Wyandot of the Anderdon community in Southern Ontario, the chief son of a Wyandot woman and a Euro-Canadian officer of the Indian Department at Fort Malden and was the grandson of Huron Chief Adam Brown. He moved from the Anderdon Reserve to Sandusky, Ohio, in 1841, where he married a Cherokee woman. The Wyandot sold their Ohio lands in 1842, disbanded in 1855, and Clarke moved back to Anderdon and became the chief of the Anderdon Wyandot in 1867. "This meagre, confused, and inaccurate account seems to be all that has been handed down in the oral traditions of the Wyandots in the West concerning the laying waste of their country two centuries and a half ago, and of the events, all-important for them at least, which preceded and accompanied their own final dispersion. As these occurences were fully chronicled at they same time they took place, the student of Indian hsitory may, by comparison, draw his own conclusions as to the accuracy of Dooyentate's summary, and at the same time determine what credence is to be given to Indian traditions of other events, all certainly of minor importance." - tellingly, from the Catholic Encyclopedia (under Huron Indians), a reference work that may have some problems with the truth of its own account of things. $395.00

Henry Nelson Coleridge was the nephew and son-in-law of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and was his literary executor. For his health, he traveled to Madeira and thence on to the smaller islands of the West Indies - Martinique, Montserrat, Antigua, Grenada, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, Anguilla, Nevis, St. Vincent's, Dominica, and Barbuda. Pages 285-308 cover "Planters and Slaves". Coleridge was an Abolitionist. His preface to this third edition states "In this edition I have inserted a note and a few verses, but omitted nothing...But in this awful crisis of our country, when the right hand of the colonial power of England is hacked at with a pertinacious hatred, of which there is no example in the history of domestic treason or foreign hostility, I will no longer scruple the expedience of putting the author's humble name to a work, which was written in a deep conviction of the immense importance of the West Indies to our maritime superiority, and of the truth of the political views of which, in respect of the conduct of the Abolitionists, the events of every day and hour more and more persuade me." The first two editions were published anonymously in 1826, and this 3rd edition was the first to bear the author's name. There was a 4th edition in 1841. Sabin 14318. $175.00

COLUMBUS, (Christopher) [Cristoforo Colombo]., LETTER OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, THE GREAT BENEFACTOR OF THE PRESENT AGE, CONCERNING THE NEWLY DISCOVERED ISLANDS OF INDIA...DIRECTED TO DON RAFAEL SANCHEZ...TR. FROM THE SPANISH INTO LATIN BY LEANDRO DE COSCO, APRIL 25, 1493..., No place, no date. 8vo. [24], 14, [34, blank] pp. Contemporary binding of half maroon morocco and marbled boards, spine titled in gilt. Small chip to head of spine, light wear to foot of spine, nice bookplate to front pastedown, front inner hinge partially cracked but firm, else fine. The first half is, I believe, a facsimile of the Latin version supposed to have been printed in Basel in 1493 by Bergmann de Olphe, complete with woodcut illustrations. It is followed by a translation into English. This edition appears to be same as one issued Albany, NY: J. McDonough, 1900. If so, the English translation is by Samuel Kettell. According to OCLC's entry for the McDonough edition (which has the same text pagination as this edition), "the Albany imprint did not appear on the facsimile as originally issued, but was added to the copies of a 'remainder' purchased by Joseph McDonough. The facsimile differs in several particulars from the copy of the original in the Lenox library, New York, making it probably that it was printed from the imperfect copy in the Library of the British Museum." $50.00
