Description: Up for sale is a rare share certificate from the Vermont Texas Land Company dated back to 1837. The share is made out to Lewis Howard of Braintree, Vermont in Orange County, and signed by N. Williams, George Lyman, and Julius Converse. Lyman and Converse were both justices of the peace in Windsor County in the 1840s, and Converse went on to be governor of Vermont from 1872 to 1874. Beginning in 1820 the government of Mexico opened Texas to settlement by foreigners, provided they agreed to abide by the law and be morally upright citizens. This opened the way for many American settlers. Texas declared itself a free republic in March 1836, and shortly thereafter the Vermont Texas Land Company was organized. This piece of history represents a piece of American commerce and industry during a critical time in our country's development. The intricate details and design on this certificate showcase the artistry and pride that went into creating these important documents. A must-have for any collector of stocks, bonds, scripophily, or coins and paper money. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Americana history.
