Documents Relating to the Alleged Encroachment of the "Polish Exiles" on Improved Lands in the Occupancy of Certain Citizens of the State of Illinois. January 30, 1839. 25th Congress, 3d Session. Senate

No Place, Blair and Rives, Printers, 1839. Pamphlet. Pamphlet, disbound from a larger work and lacking any wrappers issued. 8 pp. A printing of various letters and communications to members of US Congress from various settlers in the Rockford region of Illinois, regarding land grants to be given to Polish exiles (from their struggles with Russia). In the early 1830s, Congress authorized land to be selected by appointed agents to be awarded to exiles from Poland. While they would not be granted ownership, they would be able to work and develop the land, and purchase it for the lowest auction price after ten years. The lands selected in Illinois had already been settled by US citizens, who were considered squatters by the US government. This collection of documents relays their arguments as to why they were entitled to the land, alleging that the agent Klopicki was treated kindly, despite being "degraded in person by habits of intoxication." They also allege that the Poles had no intent to actually settle the land, hinting that instead they were land speculators. Eventually Congress, in the 1840s, sided with the squatters, partly due to anti-immigrant sentiment in the US. GOOD condition. Remains of binding along the spine. Some wrinkling and toning. Good .
