Some small chips along a few splits with minimal loss. Light tanning scattered spotting. Good. <br /> <br /> The original grant for this land was to Nehemiah Phippeny who lost title for nonpayment of taxes. The land was sold to Lothrop Lewis of Fairfield Connecticut on May 27 1805. On the verso are hand written transfers of the same piece of property: from Lothrop Lewis to William Hawley of Woodbury January 21 1806; from Hawley to Nehemiah Dibble of Stamford February 7 1806; from Dibble to Zalmon & Seymour Wildman of Danbury October 20 1806. There is also a voided transaction crossed out from Hawley to William Lamson of Waterbury January 31 1806. <br /> In 1800 the State of Connecticut granted to her citizens who were sufferers by fire caused by the British during the Revolutionary War a half million acres of land lying within the State of Ohio which was to be taken off the west part of the "Western Connecticut Reserve" now embraced in the counties of Huron and Erie. By an 1803 Act of Ohio the sufferers were incorporated as "The proprietors of the half million acres of land lying south of Lake Erie called 'Sufferers' Land'." The Act required management of the Company by a Board of Directors. The Board was to locate and survey the granted land and to partition it among the different claimants. This part of the Western Reserve was inhabited by Indians who engaged in warfare with the settlers. On July 4 1805 a treaty between the United States and the Wyandot Ottawa Chippewa Munsee and Delaware Shawanee and Pattawatamy nations was signed whereby those Indian nations in consideration of $18916.68 released their claims to all the lands owned by the company. unknown
179933509Hartford 1799. Printed folio broadside 7-3/8" x 12-1/4" completed in manuscript and docketed in manuscript on verso. Old folds light foxing else Very Good. An evidently unrecorded document on Connecticut claims to the Western Reserve not located on ESTC OCLC or NAIP as of March 2017.<br/><br/> "A general meeting of the agents of said proprietors held at Hartford on the 17th May 1797" established a schedule of taxes. But Frances Bradley of Fairfield failed to pay. Thus on January 15 1798 her property was sold for the amount of unpaid taxes to Walter Terry of Fairfield. Lothrop Lewis of Fairfield the tax collector here officially transfers the property to Terry. His deed dated March 30 1799 is acknowledged on April 5 1799. Lothrop Lewis whose name is printed also signs in ink; witnesses were Lewis Sturges and Samuel Rowland. <br/> In 1786 Connecticut relinquished claims to land west of Pennsylvania except for the Western Reserve a portion of what is now south of Lake Erie in northeast Ohio. Connecticut assigned some of the Reserve to its citizens as compensation for losses suffered during the Revolution; and sold the rest to a consortium of Connecticut men including Moses Cleaveland who had formed the Connecticut Land Company. Their speculations were not successful there being no effective local government in the Reserve capable of unraveling the tangle of land titles. Thus taxes imposed were frequently not collected. To force payment of the tax on January 15 1798 Lothrop Lewis conducted the sales.

ill., ril. Un racconto corale sulla colonizzazione dell'Ovest nordamericano, creato nel 1962 per la rivista argentina "Misterix", aggiornato a Parigi nel 1980 e completato nel 1995, poco prima della morte del suo autore. In questa nuova edizione, l'opera che più a lungo di tutte ha accompagnato la carriera di Pratt si presenta rimontata in pannelli a tre strisce, come da lui concepita. Perla della sezione a colori prevista in chiusura di volume, quella che pare essere l'ultima creazione artistica del maestro veneziano, "un soldato e un indiano che guardano verso un orizzonte dove tenui figure danzanti sembrano dileguarsi tra nubi azzurrine", come scrisse Cesare Medail sul "Corriere della Sera".
