| Date: | 1846 |
| Description: | This printed document is a copy of a bill of the North Carolina Assembly pertaining to the sale of certain former Cherokee lands in Macon and Cherokee Counties, North Carolina. The bill outlines the specific lands in question and provides the procedure by which the lands are reverted to the state of North Carolina and then turned over for sale to purchasers. The legislation indicates that the sale of the lands is necessary to offset a debt associated with the Cherokee lands, although it is unclear to whom the debt is owed. Document ID: wtp179.
