1844 Acts & Resolutions Passed First Session of the Twenty Eighth Congress C3450

Description: You are viewing a copy of the 1844 Acts & Resolutions Passed First Session of the Twenty Eighth Congress. Among this sessions acts & resolutions are treaties enacted with Indian tribes, such as the Chippewa tribe. Indian tribes are also given money by these laws. Compensation was also given to non-Indians - you'll have to read the book. Chap. 105 is an 'act making appropriations for the civil and diplomatic expenses of Government for the fiscal year...'. The amount appropriated sounds amusing from our perspective. For example, the compensation in the Library of Congress for the librarian, two assistant librarians and messenger of the library was $4500.00. The salary for the President was set at $25,000.00. This is a treasure trove of historical and political information that will be useful for the amateur historian, or anyone who is curious about the way things ran back in 1844. There is a lengthy index. This book is remarkably small as compared to today when some single bills exceed 2000 pages. There are a number of acts to provide pensions for named widows. There are a number of acts regarding boundaries and related items. I think this is a book you should seriously consider. Not often is one able to get original source material for this time.
