Date Published: 1870 & 1878
Description: 2 items. Comprises:
Pamphlet headed on p.1: "The following narrative, relating to the Island of Yerba Buena and the equitable claim upon the same... is herewith submitted on behalf of Benjamin S. Brooks, John Center, and Egbert Judson. David S. Turner, Attorney in fact." Washington, March 10, 1870. 8 pp. Unbound. (2 horizontal folds, some internal staining, other wear.)
Brooks, Benjamin Sherman. [Open letter re claim to Yerba Buena Island.] 1 page, broadside. San Francisco, Sept. 26, 1878.
Fascinating and quite rare items relating to the long-running disputes over the ownership of Yerba Buena Island (a.k.a. Goat Island) in San Francisco Bay, now the anchor of the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland. There are no copies of the first item listed in OCLC (it is not to be confused with a similar pamphlet, numbering 6 pages, dated March 25, 1870, also by Turner).
