Appointing a commander for a Georgia militia regiment, in a partly printed document completed in manuscript in a secretarial hand and signed by Governor Jared Irwin and Secretary of State Horatio Marbury March 1, 1809, naming David McCormick, “Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of the 6th Regiment of Militia.” Author: Irwin, Jared (1750-1818; Governor of Georgia, 1796-1798 and 1806-1809), and Horatio Marbury (1750-1820; Georgia’s second Secretary of State, 1799-1811) Title: Appointing a commander for a Georgia militia regiment, in a partly printed document completed in manuscript in a secretarial hand and signed by Governor Jared Irwin and Secretary of State Horatio Marbury March 1, 1809, naming David McCormick, “Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of the 6th Regiment of Militia.” Publication: Milledgeville, (GA): 1809 Description: Partly printed document, 6 5/8 x 8 inches, employing several sizes and styles of type, the text enclosed within an ornamental border, and with a seal attached (picturing an arm brandishing a sword). Irwin, a native of North Carolina, moved as a child with his family to the Georgia back county and served with his father and brother during the American Revolution; as governor, he signed the act rescinding the fraudulent Yazoo land law. “His leadership, patriotism, and impartiality were recognized and honored throughout his career” (DGB). Marbury is best remembered for his role in the publication of Georgia’s first official digest of laws (Digest of the Laws of the State of Georgia, 1802). Some browning, but very good. Folded. A nice example of early and somewhat crude Georgia letterpress printing. (#7651). Seller ID: 60420 Subject: Americana We are a Washington, D.C. based bookstore in business for over 40 years.
