Unbound. Small handwritten broadside on blue paper. Measuring 16" x 8". Old folds, foxing (or perhaps offsetting from the iron gall ink), a pleasing very good example. A broadside signed by James O'Neill, a shopkeeper, at the conclusion offering lots from the Hardenbergh Patent near the Village of Walton in the county of Delaware, and offering to consider offers at his home in Duanesberg. His son and namesake moved to Oregon, where he became one of the early mayors of Portland. Major Johannes Hardenbergh (1670–1745), bought the patent of land in the Catskill Mountains in 1708, it consisted of about 2,000,000 acres.
