About This Item
Cambridge MA: The Greenewood Press, 1964. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/None Issued. VG/First Edition This is a great copy; bright red covers, gold gilt title on the spine, square . Prior to 1805 land in Georgia was distributed by a headright system. Book is clean and tight, with no markings or soiling, several spots of color lost on cloth. Very light shelf wear on all corners. No previous owner labels, not an ex-library book or remainder.. There is one very small section on the front cover that has faded (looks like a price tag may have been attached). The body of this book( pages 1 through 393 ) consists of a transcription of all data in the original Land Lottery manuscript, which is located in the Georgia Department of Archives and History in Atlanta. The introduction explains the act authorizing the 1805 Land lottery, who was eligible, and how many draws the participants were allowed. The next pages (xiii-xxi)reproduce the Act itself. The authors transcribed and index the lottery winner's list to make it easier to use. A great copy of a well researched book.
