Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Crane, James M.
Title: The Past, the Present and the Future of the Pacific
Place Published: San Francisco
Publisher:Printed by Sterett & Co.
Date Published: 1856
Description:

79 pp. 21.3x13.3 cm. (8½x5¼"), 19th century quarter calf & marbled boards, morocco spine label. First Edition.

Uncommon essay, which Cowan notes "Demonstrates the indifferent attitude of the federal government towards California. It is written in a style that is readable, and even fascinating."Crane, editor of the California Courier, launches a tirade against the Federal Government for its indifferent, rapacious attitude toward California. Kurutz notes that "James Crane, a pioneer journalist, wrote this long, rambling essay to protest the 'gross neglect' of California and its neighboring territories by Congress and the Federal Executive. He asserted that while miners and other pioneers settled this land, officials back in Washington, D.C. expected to reap all the benefits and exercise political and economic power over the Far West. Crane warned that conditions in California were not unlike the colonies and England." Cowan I, pp. 59-60; Cowan II, p. 149; Howes C861; Kurutz 162; Sabin 17399. American Book Prices Current lists only two sales of the book at auction since 1975, both the Clifford copy, first in 1994, and again in 2006.
