Proclamation and land sale notices from 1839 Wisconsin
A long OCR fragment blends a Milwaukee land sale notice under Martin Van Buren with a public proclamation about land sales in Wisconsin Territory. It lists sections and townships for canal grant lands, sale terms two dollars and fifty cents per acre, and dates around October next, plus a portion of a presidential proclamation and several 19th century medicinal advertisements for Moffat’s Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters, with references to Milwaukee agents and broad claims of cures.
