Item description from seller

12mo, 208 pages, some wear and splitting to the spine of the wrapper (which was made to be unattached) Fergus Historical Series no.18. Includes William Mosley Hall's speech, "A National Railroad to the Pacific," the first speech promoting a trans-continental railroad for America. Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln was a delegate to this Convention: his brief speech there was his first before a nationwide platform - and it caught the ear and mind of Horace Greely, also a delegate, that this Lincoln was an up-and-comer. [see Howes C371; Gutter, Between the Waters and the Wind, 14].

Store description

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera.
