First Edition of congressional speeches by the members, including frontier hero Davey Crockett, with regards to the Indian Removal Act. Published in 1830, Crockett's conscience wouldn't allow him to votes for the removal of tribes to west of the Mississippi. Consequently, he was voted out of office the next year. This book has been refurbished with new boards. It is 304 pages with deckle edges and there is slight foxing on a few of the pages. What's really striking is how these politicians try to sugar coat their actions by referring to the removal as a "Land exchange" Monumental work of a sad chapter in American history. Please see photos for more details.
