Andrew Jackson is tough on violators of Cherokee lands...



Item # 695609

November 30, 1816

THE NATIONAL REGISTER, Washington, Nov. 30, 1816  Inside has a notice signed in type by: Andrew Jackson, Major General Com'fg. in which he notes: "All white men settling on the Cherokee lands...are hereby ordered to drive off their stock within 20 days and remove themselves and families within 30 days...All individuals not attending to this notification...will be prosecuted to the extent of the law, and their stock forfeited to the public."
A very uncommon title that existed from March 2, 1816 thru Dec. 7, 1820. As the photos show the format was very much like the more popular 'Niles Weekly Register' which began in 1811, but not remotely as successful.
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 1/2 inches, scattered foxing & staining, good condition.
