Pages are intact overall but have rippling and dampstaining throughout, possible mold damage at bottoms of pages, creased corners on fore-edge, and some wrinkling. Covers are loose but included.

The occasion was the laying of the cornerstone of the first building, Pioneer Hall, of the Pioneer Society in California. There are three main features in this pamphlet in addition to the proceedings of the events, an oration by Willard B. Farwell, a poem by Eliza A. Pittsinger, and an address by E. H. Washburn. Farwell pays tribute to California pioneers and the state of California but also laments the ongoing American Civil War and denounces the Confederacy and its aim to destroy the Union. Pittsinger also pays tribute to California pioneers through her poem. Washburn originally gave his address on September 9, 1862 on the 12th anniversary of California's admission as a state in the Union. He, too, laments the catastrophe of the ongoing Civil War. Within his address, Washburn lays out the three main goals of the Pioneer Society which are to foster social connections between California pioneers, collect and preserve historical materials about early California history and the pioneers, and to honor California pioneers of the past and present.…

Softcover. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, vi, 71 pages. In Very Good minus condition. Covers are red paper with white lettering and decorations, moderately age toned with staple binding. Rubbing wear along edges of covers, along spine, at ends of spine, and at corners. Front cover shows several faint stains. Text block shows some scuffing and foxing on the edges, and is lightly age toned throughout. Foxing sparsely present throughout. Dated "11/21/49" and inscribed in black ink on half title page: "Bill Bird - an "old hand" at all this. / Best / Bill". Inscription appears to be in the hand of William Carlos Williams, signing here as "Bill". Instances of Williams singing as "Bill" are extremely scarce, and was typically reserved for the signing of letters, very rarely used in book inscriptions. Williams had published one of his novels - The Great American Novel - through Bird's Three Mountains Press in 1923. This inscription's date nearly 30 years later, combined with Williams signing under the nickname "Bill", evidences a long and familiar relationship between the two men. Housed in a card-backed archival sleeve. SH Consignment. Shelved in Room A. . Bill Bird was an American publisher best known for running the Three Mountains Press, a small press that published many prominent modernists in the 1920s including Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams and Robert McAlmon, with Ezra Pound serving as editor. Over a period of two and a half years he published 9 works. Concurrently he founded Consolidated Press Service and worked there as a journalist from 1920-1933, when he joined the New York Sun as chief foreign correspondent. Forced to flee France after the Nazi invasion, he wrote articles warning of war. After WWII he moved to Tangier and was the editor of the Tangier Gazette. . 1403705. Special Collections.…
