Uniquely Kentucky: Vintage Postcards, Cookbooks, Maps & More

Unique, original 1790 Document Appointing Three Citizens of Kentucky to Examine a Witness in a Lawsuit
Signed by Christopher GREENUP (1750-1818; U. S. Congressman, 1792-1797, Governor of Kentucky, 1804-1808. From the seller: "A partly printed document, completed in manuscript and signed by Greenup 28 January 1790, at Danville, Kentucky, in his capacity as clerk of the Virginia Court for the District of Kentucky. Half-sheet 4to, 6 1/2 x 8 1/8 inches. The suit involved a complaint against John REID by Jacob MYERS and Gabriel COX; James BAIRD, and Robert ABLE were being asked to question Walter BEALE as a witness for MYERS. GREENUP, in his official capacity, is named in the printed portion of the document and the three questioners signed a statement on the verso attesting to the completion of their task. Folded; some browning, worn along top edge (not affecting text). Still a good example. GREENUP, a native of Virginia, served in the Revolutionary War, achieving the rank of captain. Emigrating to Kentucky in 1783, he settled in Lexington to begin a career in law; he was named clerk of the Virginia court for the District of Kentucky in 1785 and was elected to the Virginia legislature the same year. He participated in the relevant conventions seeking statehood for Kentucky and was elected one of its first congressmen in 1792. 'In 1804 he was elected governor for the regular term of four years and during his tenure of office assumed an intelligent and progressive attitude on the questions of the day' (DAB)."

Original 1860 Broadside! LAND Sale!  [followed by 16 lines describing details and terms of the sale]. Signed in type "M. S. DRAUGHON, C & M." From the seller: "62 1/2 acres of land belonging to Calvin HART, on Buzzard Creek in Robertson County, on which were located "good buildings and a good water saw and Grist Mill," were to be sold at public auction to settle a court case. Not in Hummel. Not recorded on OCLC. Printed broadside, 9 1/4 x 12 inches, employing several sizes and styles to type, including one large display type for the headline. Some foxing, but a very good copy."
