Beschreibung

Savannah, GA: The Commission, 1959. Soft Cover, 8 1/2 x 11, card stock covers, plastic spiral bound. 34 pages, illustrations, plates, facsimilies. A report to the Mayor and Alderman of the City of Savannah on the burial place of Button Gwinnett (1735-1777). As one of the three Georgians who committed treason against the British Crown by signing the Declaration of Independence, Button Gwinnetts place in history is secure. Gwinnett, a native of England, came to Savannah in 1765 and set up shop as a merchant. His failed business was an indicator of future financial crises, and Gwinnett turned his attention to politics. He became embroiled in the debate over British rule, and voted for independence on July 4, 1776. Text is clean and solid, no names or markings. Covers slighty dirty and browned on edges due to age.
