An Early Montana Territory Treasury Document

Book Description

DS. 1pg. 7 ‰¼" x 3 ‰¼". July 13, 1865. Territory of Montana. A partly printed document is headed <I>"Warrant No. 1130 Territory of Montana, County of Meadison</I> [sic]" and states that <I>"The Treasurer will pay to George H Hanna + Co or order Thirty One + 38/100 Dollars out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated."</I> The document is signed by <I>"<B>John S. Scott</B>"</I>, the Territorial Auditor and Territorial Treasurer. As Montana became a territory in 1864, it certainly was a challenge to haul a printing press into the Big Sky country. It is in pristine condition, with no folds, tears, or stains. A cancellation hole appears under the word order
