About This Item
[Greenwood, Ks, 1856. Very good.. Broadside, approximately 12 x 7.75 inches. Previously folded. Minor wear. Slight discoloration at center of sheet. A scarce, early Kansas imprint, comprising a certificate of stock ownership in the Woodson Town Association. The group was formed in Greenwood, the seat of Greenwood County, which neighbors Woodson County, the presumable site of Woodson town, though there is no evidence that such a settlement was ever founded. The broadside states that, "Each share will be entitled to an equal division of Land and Oats, or the proceeds thereof, and subject to an equal proportion of the expenses and liabilities incurred, and to be governed by the present Rules and By-Laws of said Association, and that may hereafter be adopted." This example was completed in manuscript for one John H. Swift on May 5, 1856, and signed by Henry Addams and W.S. Brewster, the president and secretary of the organization respectively. We locate only two copies, at Yale and Princeton.
