Description

Among The Earliest of Florida Land Boom Pamphlets (and the Rarest)

Rare Florida promotional pamphlet, published by State of Florida Immigration Commission. 

The bibliographic history of this pamphlet suggests that it was published in 1868 and 1869 in Jacksonville, with a slightly different title and perhaps different text. The 1868 edition gives the author as L.F. Dewey & Co.  The 1869 edition lists the author as John Sullivan Adams. 

Rare

The pamphlet is rare.  OCLC locates 5 examples (Jacksonville Public Library, National Agricultural Library, Library Company of Philadelphia, New York Public Libary, Freie University Berlin).

The last example of the pamphlet to appear at auction or in a dealer catalog listed by RBH was in 1964 (Eberstadt, Catalog 165, #245, listed at $50.00).
