Mississippi Territory:

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE, TO WHOM WAS REFERRED THE PETITION OF THOMAS BURLING, AND OTHERS, INHABITANTS OF THE MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY. PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. APRIL 7, 1800.

[Philadelphia: 1800]. [2] leaves [printed on rectos only], disbound. A couple of small tears to blank upper margin, else Very Good. Burling et al, owners of land in the Mississippi Territory, claimed title to their property derived from Spanish land grants. They seek an Act of Congress confirming their title; but the Committee presents an unfavorable report, since Burling's request would interfere with the recent Act of Congress to fix Georgia's boundary, establish a government for the Mississippi Territory, and settle title to conflicting land claims. A scarce imprint. Evans 38894. NAIP w025688 [3]. Item #23526

Price: $175.00
