About this Item

16-page pamphlet. Loose front cover. Uncut page edges. Some unopened pages. The speaker recalls his opposition to this bill in the previous session because at that time there were only three whites in the territory (exclusive of soldiers, government officials, missionaries or licensed traders), therefore there was no need for the bill. Opening the territory to settlement continues to be dangerous because of the many Indian tribes in the area and no treaties concluded with them. Seller Inventory # 4765
