Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 15.25 x 9.25, March 6, 1829. President Jackson grants 160 acres of land in Ohio to Sally Gardner. Signed at the conclusion by Jackson and also signed by Commissioner of the General Land Office George Graham. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a few scattered stains, and expected creasing and wrinkling. The seal is mostly missing. This is an early example from just two days after his raucous inauguration. Upon Jackson’s inauguration, masses broke into the White House and destroyed the furniture rendering him unable to spend his first night as President in the White House. In addition to this document’s relation to this memorial event, Jackson’s granting land to a woman as he does here is very unusual. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
