Very Good (few very tiny chips to edge of covers with light crease lower right-hand corner; contents clean & tight). Small 8vo., printed wraps, 156 pages First Edition. Signed at the top of the front cover in ink "General John Hartwell Cooke. Fluvanna Co." John Hartwell Cocke [1780? 1866] was a brigadier general of the Virginia militia during the war of 1912. After he served in the military, he helped Thomas Jefferson establish the University of Virginia. His family estate, Bremo Plantation, is now a National Historic Landmark. His brigade was composed of companies of troops from Fluvanna County. From 1812 to 1813, Cocke led the defense of Richmond along the Chickahominy River against British forces. Though he inherited a number of slaves, Cocke expressed "continual hostility to slavery" and promoted using "education and skill training" to prepare slaves for freedom and colonization in Africa; as a result, he was once violently attacked by a pro-slavery neighbor. By 1848, Cocke started a second plantation in Alabama as a place for slaves to prepare to live independently, as free people in the colony of Liberia. He spent some of his own money to send these freed slaves to the colony and supported them by sending them books and supplies over the years. A scarce signature.. Signed.…

Envelope or Cover. Condition: Very good. This cover was sent from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville to John Harwell Cocke at his famous Bremo Plantation in Fluvanna County from the University of Virginia and is noteworthy for the strike of the school's oval postmark with manuscript date and "10" rate mark. It is one of the most attractive University of Viginia covers we have seen. Cocke served for thirty-five years on the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors. He was first appointed in 1816 when the school was brand new and known as Central College. Throughout his tenure, Cocke was deeply involved in the university's early development, supervised the construction of its campus with Thomas Jefferson, and pushed for an emphasis on Christianity and agricultural education in the curriculum. . John Hartwell Cocke was also one of the most intriguing plantation owners in the South. A matriculant at the College of William and Mary and graduate of the University of Virginia, he improved his inherited family plantation, Bremo, in Fluvanna County, Virginia, with architectural and scientific innovations. He was also a reformer who advocated both alcohol and tobacco temperance. More importantly, he was an enthusiastic advocate for the African colonization of manumitted slaves. Although Cocke owned more than a hundred slaves, he believed slavery to be against God's will and was an enthusiastic promoter of the American Colonization Society, serving as its Vice-President from 1819 until his death in 1866. He employed northern teachers to conduct formal schooling at Bremo for his slaves until 1831 when the practice was banned in Virginia, after which his wife took up the task. Cocke's boldest action began in the 1840s, when he purchased an Alabama cotton plantation near Greensboro and sent a contingent of slaves there to learn the skills he believed to be necessary for their future success in Liberia. During one of his visits from Virginia to his "Hopewell Plantation" in Alabama, he informed its slaves that he intended to manumit those who worked hard, behaved honestly and obediently, renounced alcohol, and kept the plan, which included providing them with an education, a secret. Of the 82 slaves at Hopewell Plantation, Cocke eventually emancipated 14, whom he transported to Liberia.
