Here are some items that our auction house, Nate D. Sanders (http://www.NateDSanders.com) has sold:
Very scarce Meriwether Lewis document signed ”Meriwether Lewis Capt. / 1st U’S. Regt. Infty.” Single octavo page, dated 12 February 1807 reads in full: ”Received February 12th 1807 of Caleb Swan Paymaster of the Army of the United States, Two hundred dollars, in pursuance of a warrant from General Henry Dearborn Secretary of War, No. 1003, being on account of my pay and subsistence, for which sum I am accountable to the Accountant of the Department of War, having signed duplicates hereof. 200 Drs.” In January 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sought to learn more about the far western territory, and appropriated the money from Congress for the proposed journey, to be led by the experienced explorer Meriwether Lewis. In his memoirs, Jefferson wrote of Lewis: ”Of courage undaunted; possessing a firmness and perseverance of purpose which nothing but impossibilities could divert from its direction; careful as a father of those committed to his charge, yet steady in the maintenance of order and discipline; intimate with the Indian characters, customs, and principles; habituated to the hunting life; guarded by exact observations of the vegetables and animals of his own country against losing time in the description of objects already possessed; honest, disinterested, liberal, of sound understanding, and a fidelity to truth so scrupulous that whatever he should report would be as certain as seen by ourselves…” (”History of the Expedition,” 1814). In the months immediately preceding the expedition, Lewis sought training in the use of astronomical instruments and in the art of map-making. He also chose a companion officer, William Clark of Louisville. While the expedition did not achieve the primary objective of finding the elusive Northwest Passage, it contributed significantly to the understanding of the geography of the Northwest and produced approximately 140 maps, the first accurate maps of the area. In addition, it documented 100 newly discovered species of animals, approximately 170 plants, and it also established friendly relations with three dozen Indian tribes. The knowledge they obtained sparked American interest in the west, and strengthened the nation’s claim to the area. Meriwether Lewis returned to Washington, D.C. from his three year journey in late December of 1806. After returning from the expedition, Lewis received a reward of 1,600 acres of land. In addition, Thomas Jefferson appointed him Governor of the Louisiana Territory. However, Lewis was not confirmed by the Senate until March 1807 and he remained a Captain in the interim. Base pay for Captains at this period was $40 per month so the present receipt would represent five months’ salary. A supremely rare document directly linking Meriwether Lewis to the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Items of Lewis & Clark related to the famed expedition are of the utmost rarity. Docketed on verso. Toning to folds and showthrough, otherwise near fine condition. Sold for $30,768.
John White’s Map of Virginia From 1590 — The First Printed Map of Virginia and North Carolina
An important 16th century North American map known not only for its level of detail and accuracy, but also for its “firsts”: the first printed map of Virginia and North Carolina, the first to use Virginia in its title, the first to name the Chesapeake Bay, and also the first regional map showing the Roanoke Colony. Frankfurt: Theodor de Bry (engraver) for inclusion in his “Anglorum in Virginiam aduentus”, 1590.
Map is based on the work of cartographer, artist and explorer John White, one of the first settlers and Governor of the Roanoke Colony who, after sailing back to the Colony from England in 1587, had found all the colonists famously missing, their fate a mystery still unsolved. Philip Burden, who wrote the definitive reference book, “The Mapping of North America”, wrote of this map: “One of the most significant cartographical milestones in colonial North American history…the most accurate map drawn in the sixteenth century of any part of that continent.”
This full-sheet engraved map still retains its dark print, with the English Royal Arms at top left, and artistic touches throughout such as ships and sea monsters in the open ocean, and Native American canoeists in the inland waters. Map is the second state, with “C” laid over the “E” in Ehesepiooc. Map measures 16.675″ x 12.25″, nicely matted and framed to a size of 28″ x 23.5″. Expert repair to single vertical fold, and small area of repair to lower right corner, just touching the edge of the ship, where paper loss has been replaced. Overall in very good to near fine condition given age, displaying beautifully. Sold for $6,665.
Revolutionary War Map 1776
Revolutionary War map dated March 1776. “The Theatre of War in North America, With the Roads and a Table of the Distances…” Printed in London for R. Sayer and J. Bennett. Map depicts the area east of the Mississippi River from James Bay to Cape Canaveral, and locates provincial boundaries, towns, forts, roads, Indian villages, New England fishing waters, and the like. An inset is comprised of “Evan’s Polymetric Table of America,” which allows one to calculate the distance between most of the prominent towns. Text below the map reads, “A Compendious Account of the British Colonies in North America,” which devotes a paragraph of description to each of the North American colonies, including Florida, Canada, and the Province of Quebec. Issued separately by Sayer and Bennett, who also published “the American Military Pocket Atlas,” that year for the use of British officers. A notable map of the American Revolution, published the same year as the American Declaration of Independence. 20.75″ x 28.5″; 29.25″ x 37.5″ framed. Excellent condition. Sold for $6,000.
Map of Texas, Oregon and California From 1846
“A New Map of Texas Oregon and California with the Regions Adjoining. Compiled from the most recent authorities.” By cartographer Samuel Augustus Mitchell, published in 1846 as a pocket map, and considered the definitive map for settlers in the nation’s westward expansion during the Gold Rush. Philadelphia: Published by S. Augustus Mitchell, 1846. With contemporary hand-coloring, folding map by engraver H.N. Burroughs was Mitchell’s most important map, considered the defacto standard and thereby affecting subsequent maps of the area. It was the first to include recent explorations in the Great Basin, with boundary lines of Rio Grande to the south, and Oregon to the north at 54 degrees 40 minutes, above which are “British Possessions”. An inset to lower left entitled “Emigrant Route from Missouri to Oregon”, provides the distance between western cities and landmarks, undoubtedly aiding weary travelers. With decorative scrollwork along the margins, map measures 21″ x 22.5″ unfolded, nicely matted and framed to a size of 34.5″ x 41.5″. Some expert repair at fold separations and mild fading, overall in very good condition. Sold for $4,800.

Map is hand-colored at boundaries, featuring a vignette at upper left of “The Indian Fort Sasquesahanok”, and with various “Explanations” of the map printed at bottom, including one of an Indian expedition into Florida, “6 days Rowing”.
