THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, June 5, 1770 Page 4 has an advertisement headed: "American Lands" with some descriptive text beginning: "To be sold 35,000 acres of choice land in the county of Albany and province of New York..." with more.
Page 6 has a proclamation by Lt. Governor Cadwallader Golden of New York. The back page has a brief item from Charleston.
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
Note: In 1770, Albany County, New York, was a focal point for land sales as colonial expansion pushed westward.
These land transactions were part of a broader pattern of colonial land distribution, often involving large tracts granted to influential individuals. For instance, on May 8, 1770, Sir William Johnson and others received the Adaquatangie Patent, encompassing 26,000 acres in what is now Otsego County, which was then part of Albany County.
