A lighthouse in Penobscot Bay...

Item # 708141 ·
SALEM REGISTER, Massachusetts, Sept. 8, 1803  The front page begins with two Acts of the Mass. legislature: "An Act to cede to the United States the jurisdiction of a tract of land on White-head Island in Penobscot Bay, for a lighthouse." The other is: "An Act to cede to the United States the Jurisdiction of a tract of Land on Martha's Vineyard, and the building erected thereon by this Commonwealth as an Hospital" both signed by the governor: Caleb Strong.
Four pages, a bit irregular at the blank spine margin from disbinding, a small piece from the top margin of the back leaf, obviously not affecting front page content.
