Single sheet, 43.8x25.4 cm (16 15/16 x 10 inches), printed on both sides, large map of the projected system on verso. This bond issue was approved by Congress in May 1870. The Northern Pacific Railway, a transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest, was chartered by Congress on 2 July 1864. It was given nearly forty million acres of land grants to be used to raise money for construction. New England businessman and promoter Josiah Perham (1803-1868) was elected its first president on 7 December 1864. For the next six years, backers of the road struggled to find financing. "The backing and promotions of financier Jay Cooke in the summer of 1870 brought the first real momentum to the company. In 1873, Northern Pacific made impressive strides before a terrible stumble. Rails from the east reached the Missouri River on June 4. After several years of study, Tacoma, Washington, was selected as the road's western terminus on July 14, 1873. For the previous three years the financial house of Jay Cooke and Company had been throwing money into the construction of the Northern Pacific. As with many western transcontinentals, the staggering costs of building a railroad into a vast wilderness had been drastically underestimated. Cooke had little success in marketing the bonds in Europe and overextended his house in meeting overdrafts of the mounting construction costs. Cooke overestimated his managerial skills and failed to appreciate the limits of a banker's ability to be also a promoter, and the danger of freezing his assets in the bonds of the Northern Pacific. Cooke and Company went bankrupt on September 18, 1873. Soon the Panic of 1873 engulfed the United States, beginning an economic depression that ruined or nearly paralyzed newer railroads . Northern Pacific slipped into its first bankruptcy on June 30, 1875" (Wikipedia). Light tanning, else a fine copy. OCLC reports two copies (New York Historical Society and University of Missouri, St. Louis). Rare. (#167642).

Broadsheet, 30 x 21 1/2 inches. Old folds, separation at folds. Loss at edges, affecting some text. Still good. Large broadsheet circular issued by Jay Cooke & Company proclaiming the virtues of the 7-30 Treasury Note. The top third of each side bears a large woodcut eagle, the front emblazoned with the title in bold type and the eagle holding a banner in its beak which reads: "Our National Debt May be a National Blessing!" The verso has the same eagle with the headline "Patriotic Songs!" and a banner which reads: "Your Sons and your Money on your Country's Altar!" The circular is filled with articles which detail the ways in which the debt is a blessing and how your purchase of 7-30 bonds is a patriotic duty. Seven-thirty notes were three year treasury notes which bore interest at a rate of 7.30%. They were first issued in 1861 to help fund the Union war effort, and were again issued in 1864 and 1865. Jay Cooke (1821-1905) has been called "the financier of the Civil War" because of his firm's wild success at marketing treasury bonds such as the 7-30 note. A striking broadsheet.
