Sold at Sotheby's, 2018. In 1818, the Perry-Elliott affair came to a head when Perry wrote to Navy Secretary Benjamin Crowninshield preferring court-martial charges against his former subordinate. Not wishing to expose the nation to the controversial aspect of Perry's splendid victory on Lake Erie, President James Monroe offered the prestigious title of "Commodore" to Oliver if he'd drop the charges against Elliott. Upon accepting that offer in early 1819 Perry set sail for theOrinoco River,Venezuela, aboard thefrigateJohn Adams (carrying this very book with him) accompanied by the schoonerNonsuch, there to discourage piracy, while maintaining friendly diplomatic relations withthe Republic of Venezuelaand the Republic of Buenos Aires. Shifting his flag to the shallow-draft Nonsuch Perry sailed upriver toAngosturato negotiate an anti-piracy agreement with President Simon Bolivar. A favorable treaty was signed on August 11 with Vice-PresidentFrancisco Antonio Zeain the absence of Bolivar (who was engaged in the liberation ofNew Granada), but when the schooner started downriver, many of her crew, including Perry, had been stricken with yellow fever. Despite the crew's efforts to reachTrinidad for medical assistance, the commodore died on board Nonsuchon August 23, 1819, his 34th birthday, as the ship was nearingPort of Spain, his flagship John Adams in sight. He was buried inPort of Spain with great honors while theNonsuch's crew acted ashonor guard. Perry's remains were taken back to the United States in 1826 and interred in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally interred in the OldCommon Burial Ground, his body was eventually moved to Newport'sIsland Cemetery.

unbound. Condizione: fine. Union Navy A.L.S. 8vo. 2 pages, August 27th 1864, Aboard the USS Elfin. Just three months before she would be destroyed by bombardment while in service on the Tennessee & Cumberland Rivers. Letter from a sailor who is trying to get his Land Grant application to Wisconsin, but he can't raise the $11.00 application fee on his ship. In part: "I received the papers alright and I signed an affidavit before my Commanding Officer - and I signed them and sent them off but could not get $11.00 aboard of the boat. The Captain signed them also. Write to my wife and have her send the eleven dollars down to Menasha before the 20th of September. I was transferred from the 18th Wisconsin Infantry Co. into the United States Navy as I suppose they could get Soldiers easier than they could get Sailors. I think I can serve my country better here than I could in the land service as I have formerly been to sea and I am an able seaman at present." Fine condition.
