Description

President McKinley authorizes an act of the Chickasaw Nation

Partly-printed DS as president, five pages, 8 x 12, March 13, 1899. Manuscript act passed by the legislature of the Chickasaw Nation, entitled "An act authorizing and directing the governor to appoint three competent citizens of the Nation to sit as a Board of Investigation of all national indebtedness by unpaid outstanding warrants, &c.," boldly signed on the partly-printed cover sheet in black ink by President William McKinley. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and soiling; the original brass binding brads have been removed, but are included. Based on the 1897 Atoka Agreement between the Chickasaw Nation tribe and the US government, the American president was required to approve legislation of this type.
