Washington, Jefferson & Adams sign an Act of Congress...

THE CONCORD HERALD & NEW HAMPSHIRE INTELLIGENCER, Sept. 7, 1790  A rather scarce title, existing for just 4 years. Only 3 American institutions have this date in their collections.

The most significant content is the printing of President George Washington's historic Treaty with the Creek Nation (also known as The Treaty of New York). See photos for portions. Background information is also provided at the end of this listing.

The front page has over a full column taken up with: "Laws Of the United States" "An Act Making Appropriations for the Support of Government for the year 1790" which is signed in italic type by the President: George Washington, as well as by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

Page 3 has a report concerning a meeting between New York & Vermont commissioners: "...for the purpose of once more attempting to settle the boundary lines between the two states, that the latter may obtain a congressional admission into the federal union...". Vermont would become the 14th state six months later.

Four pages, very nice condition.
