Item # 702421
November 05, 1805
LANCASTER JOURNAL, Pennsylvania, Nov. 5, 1803 A very notable issue as contained on pages 1 and 2 are the: "Treaty Between the United States & the French Republic" outlining the details of what we now know as the Louisiana Purchase, followed by two Conventions of the treaty which outlined the details of the payments to France. These documents were agreed to in Paris on April 30, 1803 and signed on May 2. The Senate would ratify the treaty on October 20 and President Jefferson would sign it. Formally the U.S. took possession of the Territory on Nov. 30 when France and Spain finalized the formalities between the two nations.
Four pages, interesting lettering in the masthead, archival strengthening at the blank spine, a few very minor archival mends at margins, very nice, clean condition.
