1884 Dept of Agr. First Annual Report BAI

RARE & VINTAGE! It’s the FIRST annual report of the Bureau of Animal Industry for the year 1884 done by the Dept of Agriculture. The Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) was started in 1884 when the 21st President, Chester Arthur, signed it into law. The BAI was/is responsible for ensuring diseases are not spread through meat. In a day and age when the world has come to a halt due to disease-tainted meat, this book is an incredible glimpse at our society’s first attempt at tracking and preventing the spread of deadly diseases in our food supply. A MUST HAVE for rare/vintage book collectors, a great conversation piece, and would be a great gift for any lovers of history/politics as this book was given exclusively to members of the US Senate, US House of Reps, and the Commissioner of Agriculture. Modern reprints of this book go for upwards of $40-50 on Amazon but YOU can own the ORIGINAL for less!
