1850 CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH & NEW MEXICO MASSIVE GOVERNMENT REPORT 976pgs W/ MAPS
Very rare and historically important. January 1850 Message from the President of the United States detailing all known information related to the discovery of Gold in the California Territory and being a massive and comprehensive report on the state of affairs in California at this early date. This 976 page House of Representatives Document is titled"California and New Mexico. Message of the President of the United States Transmitting Information in Answer to a Resolution of the House of the 31st of December, 1849 on the Subject of California and New Mexico" Submitted by President Zachary Taylor, January 24th, 1850. 1st Edition/ 1st Printing. This 5 3/4" by 9" 976 page Volume includes 6 exceptionally important and early folding engraved maps of California and the Gold Regions and a seventh, full page, non-folding Map. ... moreZamorano states that this massive Government Document is"the most extensive source of authorities covering the period" This thick and massive government compendium contains a wealth of information on the annexation of Alta California by the United States, the changeover from Mexican to American rule, the transition from military to civilian government, and the earliest days of the Gold Rush. It systematically documents the work of the federal government in the newly won territory from 1847 to 1849. Arguably, these were the most important years in California history and no single publication provides as much raw data as does House Executive Document No. 17 offered here. The Volume opens with a brief statement by Mexican-American War hero President Zachary Taylor. Which touches on California's desire to be admitted to the Union as a state. This historically important, federal government publication then proceeds with a plethora of official proclamations, reports, circulars, and letters from virtually every important American official in California including Washington Bartlett, Walter Colton, R. B. Mason, Bennet Riley, Jonathan Drake Stevenson, Joseph Folsom, Stephen
