Description

The seventh president grants a huge tract of land to a former War of 1812 scout

Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 11.75 x 15.25, April 30, 1829. President Jackson grants 400 acres of land in Indiana to Michel Brouillette. Signed at the conclusion by Jackson, and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office George Graham. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, paper loss along one horizontal fold, resulting in the loss of a few words of text, and scattered light toning and wrinkling, otherwise very good condition. During the War of 1812, Brouillette was a scout, carrying messages between Fort Harrison and Vincennes. After the war, he served as an Indian agent at the fort and purchased lots in the village of Terre Haute across the Wabash River from Illinois. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
