North American Land Co. stock issued to Bird Savage & Bird of London in 1795. Signed by Robert Morris as president and James Marshall as secretary. Morris' signature is pen cancelled. 9.75 x 12" Robert Morris was the financier of the American Revolution, and one of only two Founding Fathers to sign all three key American documents: The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Articles of Confederation. Morris was the first to use the dollar sign in official documents. The financial Panic of 1796 led to his financial ruin and he was incarcerated for debt in the Prune Street Prison.
