Description

Patrick Henry land grant

Patriot best remembered by his quote, “Give me liberty or give me death,” which symbolized American resistance. DS, signed “P. Henry,” one page, 15 x 19.25, June 1, 1785. Governor Henry grants John McManahan two thousand acres of land, signing at the bottom in black ink. In very good condition, with reverse of document having been professionally silked, some minor paper loss to top and bottoms of vertical folds, light toning, a bit heavier in the folds and some mirroring of ink due to premature folding, all leaving signature and legibility largely unaffected. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
