Homann Erben/Heirs was a prominent German publishing firm in the European map market throughout the eighteenth century. Founded in 1702 by Johann Baptist Homann the business passed to his son Christoph upon Johanns death in 1724. Christoph died in 1730 aged only 27 and the firm was inherited by subsequent Homann heirs. This changed the name of the company which was known as Homann Erben or Homann heirs. The firm continued in business until 1848. unknown

This treaty led directly to the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their land infamously known as the Trail of Tears. Also present is a lengthy account of the trial of the Prophet Matthais for murder. This trial also accused Sojourner Truth who at the time worked as a servant for Matthais under the name Isabella of murder.

He even had a meeting with Joseph Smith at one point although both denounced each other as Satanic according to Wikipedia. Another notable articles is present discussing a racially integrated school established in Canaan New Hampshire the Noyes Academy. Established in 1835 by abolitionists the school educated African Americans and admitted women. This school aroused the racist ire of local residents and was destroyed by townspeople in August of 1835. The August 25th issue has an approving article documenting the destruction and writing as if scandalous that African American men and supposedly respectable white women had been seen walking arm in arm in town. Other articles on slavery antislavery and abolition are found throughout. POOR/FAIR condition. Ex-library with exterior spine labels interior pastedowns and minor markings.
