On the coming Louisiana Purchase... Thomas Jefferson...



Item # 713218

April 26, 1803

SPOONER'S VERMONT JOURNAL, Windsor, April 26, 1803

* Rare early 19th century publication

 With considerations for the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France then much in focus, it is not surprising that over three-quarters of the front page is taken up with the 4th in a series of 7 essays titled: "The Mississippi", dealing with this controversial topic of the day.
The front page has an Act of Congress carrying over to page 2 where is found another Act, each signed in type: Th. Jefferson.  Also a letter from himself to the Governor of New York. And the back page has 2 more Acts of Congress, each signed: Th. Jefferson.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, minor foxing, good condition.
